Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Val]*To Val's good fortune, a burly man takes up the other end, and although Val does not really contribute her fair share, they do manage to lift it off the barge and carry it slowly back to the warehouse, where they are told to set it down with the rest of the grain.*

*By now, Val's male body is sweating, beads of exertion, dripping down his chest and face, though still not as much as some of the longshoremen who have been working at this for hours.*[/SBLOCK]

As others wandered about, Verra hopped up on a nearby crate, bringing her feet and legs up. She wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her chin on her knees, watching the activity on the docks and warehouses.

[sblock=RA]Val takes the opertunity to look around inside, as well as theorize what might be in the creat with the weight. If she can find a way to slip unnoticed into the warehouse, she will. Otherwise, she'll go back for another load first.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Val]*There are lots of people about, so sneaking around would not be too easy. She got to go inside to drop off the crate though. Inside are many crates, one of which has been opened by a grain inspector. It contains grain. Based on the way her crate shifted and how heavy it is, she thinks it probably contains grain as well.*[/SBLOCK]

[sblock]Val will help with another crate before she slips back out and into the shadows to recover her stuff.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Val]*Val carries another crate back to the warehouse. This one is lighter, and carrying it is tough, but the exercise is invigorating, at least for now.*

*She quietly slips away and recovers her things.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

[sblock=RA]Val does what she can to clean herself off quickly before she puts the shirt back on as she shifts back into her normal Valerie form. She wipes the sweat off best she can with the bandana before tying it around her leg again, and then dons her vest before returning to the party.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Val returns to the rest after quite a bit of time, with a light sheen of sweat and a bit of dirt in various places on her body, but not her shirt.*

 

[Bront]

"This is grain, it's even being inspected. I feel confident this isn't the one we're looking for," Val says.

[SBLOCK=Rystil]Where did the crate with the spices go? Is it being inspected with the rest?[/SBLOCK]
