The staccato of hard soles tottering across the floor accompany a bewildered dandy of a halfling--why, he's even wearing shoes! He moves to dab his forehead with the handkerchief, stops, looks at it, makes a foul face, and quickly stuffs it into a pocket. He takes off his tricorner hat and fans himself with it as he scans the room, wrinkling his nose. Marla strides over. "Good day to you, sir. Do you need anything?" The halfling pulls out a piece of paper and a pair of pince-nez. "Oh, yes, dear, thank you... I'm looking--" he lowers his voice, "I'm looking for... there's a place around here where one can find individuals for hire? My informant said it might be... well, I fear I may have gotten a bad direction somewhere..." The barmaid chuckles, smirks, and rolls her eyes. "Yeah, you've found the right place, apparently. Welcome to the Dunn Wright Inn." The halfling is taken aback. He stutters momentarily as he scans the room. "Oh! Oh dear... Oh yes, I see how this is the place, this must be the place..." He clears his throat. He performs some sort of nervous exercise with his face. Then he speaks, clearly. "Good day, a fine afternoon to all ladies and gentlemen gathered here. My name is Tilsit Dimplecotton, set director extraordinaire to the one and only Opera di Venza. You may have heard of me." He stops, looks around, and sniffs, quietly adding, "No, on second thought, you most likely haven't..." He waves off the thought with a flourish of his hat. "I am in need of assistance, you see. We have recently finished performing Calpurnio's latest grotesque, Ronaldo the Jungle Orc. It was quite a triumph, I must say, but it has left front row center harboring a most peculiar pungency. Finding the proper velvet to replace the seating has proven most difficult, but a shipment has been promised to arrive. Yesterday. Oh, but the Opera absolutely needs this missing velvet! You cannot imagine the harrowing tales it takes just to make the most popular seats in the house to our visitors from abroad available while still maintaining a verdant effluvium! I wish to hire some group who can go find my velvet. I will, of course, pay handsomely. Oh, won't you please help someone just trying to keep the jewel of Venzan polite society shining brilliantly?" [ooc]Accepting PCs for Velvet Underground, an adventure for first level.[/ooc]</blockquote>
