[QUOTE="KenHood, post: 4484166, member: 4413"] [sblock=Woe's Hook] One seems to recall said incident lasting six DAYS, not hours. And if that blasted windbag would hire a proper exterminator, rather than a band of sword-swinging, novice 'adventurers' to deal with his rat problem, we wouldn't have been there in the first place![/sblock] Face hidden behind his parchment, Palindrome winces at Doddoddod's display of "inscrutability". [COLOR="Gray"]I praise the wisdom of your choice, good lady. None can be as discreet as the mentally handicapped, and allowing such unfortunates a position of service removes many a would-be beggar from our fine streets. I assure that we shall be as gentle in our questioning of her as we have been to you. Now, I have some rather specific questions addressing some salient points: First: Who is this elven girl? Where can we find her? Has she dissappeared as well? (If so, perhaps our sinister vanishing is nothing more than an elopement.) Second: You spoke of your grandson's interest in topical matters. Was there anything specific? Such information may bear upon our investigation. For instance, if one topic of interest was teleportation, it would suggest that our dissappearance was quite literal--in the sense of your beloved grandson's elemental particles scattered throughout the aether. Third: You stated that your grandson possessed "strange tastes"? Have you any particulars regarding these? Mayhap these, rather than the missive of which you spoke could have led to his dissappearance. Finally: Forgive my inexcusable rudeness in being so blunt, but I must ask if your grandson had any enemies, owed money to "colorful" individuals, enjoyed playing with large, man-eating beasts, or somesuch?[/COLOR] Palindrome pauses in thought, tapping his quill against his chin. He returns to writing. Now, scratching the nib as loud as possible against the paper. In an absent-minded fashion--obviously deep in concentration and unaware that none can hear him clearly--he says to himself, [COLOR="Gray"]"Eaten by beasts?"[/COLOR] With a flourish and a solid tap, you see him complete the question mark.
