"We aren't that easy to make disappear anymore, and hell maybe in some sick way if we put up a fight it proves us worthy for whatever the hell he has in mind."
"Or he'll put us down for being a nuisance."
Terra makes sure to take a seat next to Flynt.
I wonder if we are going about this searching from the wrong perspective.
finishing her sandwitch and having a drink. I mean, we know the piper has no real body, and as such it heeds to possess another person to accomplish it's goals. perhaps we need to actually look for...
she pauses here, not wanting to saythe name as the emotions it can bring up. but she hopes that it is understood among those present (except maybe Christophe).
under the table Terra's hand reaches over to grab Flynt's hand, apparently she too is worried, but does not want it to show
Christophe sighs. "Une autre blague stupide!"
He stands up and hurls the rope, then sits down and sighs, face buried in his hands. "I am tired of this. I am tired of these lies. There are two options left and if we are to get any rest tonight...we need to look into them."
"Ok, let's hear them. Can't be worse than what we've already tried." Anyka says looking at Christophe.
Chris looks at Anyka, his expression solemn. "We go back to Brand's and find what we're looking for or we find the Watch Sergeant and make him talk."
"The problem with making the watch Sergeant talk is that if he doesn't actually know anything, we've then overplayed our hand and generated a pretty hostile environment for ourselves."
"Right. I preferably don't want to make a name for myself, here or anywhere," Christophe says. "I feel like this has been a wild goose chase, fattening the wallets of some hommes méprisable."
"Yeah about that, next time ask me before you pay anyone off. There's a few people already pliable and blackmail can be way more effective" Anyka says with a grin. Catching Jin's eye she gives him a wink.

"Yea, I vote we go to Brand's house. Let's not deal with anymore cops unless we have to."
Flynt lets go of Terra's hand and puts his arm around her, letting her head rest on his shoulder.

"I know love, I've got somebody to answer to now... I promise you though, you'll never lose me. I will always come back to you no matter what. Tikkle reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small butterfly knot tied from the same yarn Gashka's mother had used on her doll. "See? This reminds me exactly who to come back to, and all the ninjas and demons in the world couldn't tell me otherwise."
Tikkle sits at the table with a large roasted fish. Then, realizing his mistake, jumps up and pulls out Gashka's chair for her. Sitting back next to her he pipes up, "Anyone mind telling me why we have to go to Brand's house? I thought you blokes would get what you needed from the watch." As he picks up the skewer, he adds "I'm all for it, but I just want you to have somethin to gab about an give me time to finish my dinner."

"Because we didn't get anything from the watch except for the two observers. They only had the planted rope."

Christophe looks to Flynt, Jin and Anyka. "What can I do for you? I'm not sure what aid I can give besides making sure you don't bleed to death."
Sitting down as he pulls the chair out for her, she just orders some fruit, cheese, bread, and water.
Looking at the others apologetically she says, "I'm not sure I could go either. I mean....Tehanna's asleep right now...but I don't want her waking up and finding herself alone in the room and freaking out again. I was gonna take my food up there and eat. I'll probably bunk with her tonight...."
She looks at Tikkle and gives one of his paws a squeeze, "We'll have plenty of time to be together later. I just wouldn't feel right leaving her alone again right now though."
She looks around at the others, "What do all of you think? Is this something you were going to do tonight? It would probably be best to do it sooner rather than later at any rate so as not to attract unwanted attention."
"I used up one of my only offensive spells on this damn orb so I wouldn't mind waiting until tomorrow." Jin says.
Christophe nods. "I suppose I shall head for bed then. Bonne nuit..."
He lets Renard off his lap and heads upstairs to his room.
Gashka nods and calls out to Chris, "Good night Chris, sleep well."
She then looks at the others, " I think Tehanna might be out for awhile if the rest of you are up for a planning session. We can do that while I nibble a little bit, if it's okay with everyone. It would probably be a good idea as well to tend to the searching of certain peoples homes after we've had some rest."
Scooting a little closer to Tikkle, she waits for her food to come and then starts nibbling on it while drinking the water and waiting to see what the others wanted to do.
Once she's eaten, Gashka gives Tikkle a kiss on the cheek and then heads upstairs to Tehanna's room. Making a pallet for herself on the floor next to the bed, she lays down and after a while of fitful tossing and turning she goes to sleep.
He spends some time communing with Renard and preparing his spells. Chris dresses without any rush and heads downstairs.
Gashka wakes up a bit groggily and covers her face, the sun hitting her in the eyes. Going over the bed she checks on Tehanna.
Tikkle wakes in his own bed, having not wanted to pay for another room at the inn and really wanting to be afloat for a bit. He had told Gashka about his goings and managed to convince her that he'd be fine amid his crew. He steps out onto the deck and surveys the sunrise over the... bay. Drawing his Rapier, he steps through a few forms to loosen his muscles for the day ahead.
Jin prepares his spells and grabs a bit to eat while he waits for the others.
Flynt buys a room for Terra if she can't room with one of the others as he just wants to be alone for the night. He tosses and turns his past fails to escape him in his dreams. He awakens, though not well. He washes up and heads down to meet with everyone.

Tehanna was not in the bed, but rather looking out the window at the vastness of the sea. Turning towards Gashka, she said, "I'm going with you. You'll need what my...my mate was concocting. While I may not be as adept at alchemy as he was, I know a thing or two and can at least complete his work. Once the Piper is dealt with....I'm not sure what I'll do." Looking back out to the sea, "Do you think the Cat will take me aboard his ship?"
Going to Tehanna she puts a comforting arm around her. "Don't worry about Tikkle or the others. Ill talk to them and explain things. Everything will work out and we'll have our Justice. You might want to think about apologizing to Chris though. I'm not judging you, or blame you for your feelings.....but he was only trying to help and you attacked him. He's a doctor, he would never hurt you." She rubs her back and looks out the window with her. "Wanna go downstairs and get some breakfast?" She smiles warmly at Tehanna.

"That would be nice." After gathering her things, Tehanna and Gashka headed downstairs to find Jin, Flynt, and Christophe already there. The Dark Elf made her way to the Witch. "Heri me vellem mores, veniam petit."

Anyka comes from the area in back at the inn's main entrance. "So the owner runs an illegal gambling outfit downstairs at night. I've 'convinced' him that the hole in the door isn't worth mentioning." she says with a grin.

"Way to go sis. There's something Tehanna and I need to talk to all of you about."

Terra is still in her room when the sun comes up. it probably doesn't take long to realize once everyone else is up and about getting breakfast, and Terra is not there.
she is sitting by the window of her room, feeling the warmth of the sun on her. she seems lost in thought. she is still in her bed clothes, her hair is a mess. as is the room. clothes all over the floor. water from the wash basin is apprently spilled and the water pitcher in pieces on the floor across the room.
Christophe nods at Tehanna. "Accipio excusationem. Suscipe, quaeso, mihi quoque. Non sibi quicquam tribuunt, vel excedere fines, ut ostendam in te. Si quid faciam tibi, hoc tantum opus."

Scratching Renard's ear, she replied, "Nam patientiam habe in me, eget tempus exstat pauca."

Chris watches her with Renard, the fox content with attention. She was hurt badly, but still a better person survived. Tehanna would have to fight her way back to normalcy, like he did. In that moment of understanding, he closed his eyes. I am not so strange, after all.
Christophe opens his eyes and smiles slightly. "Quantum debes."

Looking around and not seeing Terra she gets a worried look on her face. "Hey.....has anyone seen Terra since last night?"
"She must not be up yet. I'll go check on her." Anyka says heading to the stairs.
Knocking gently on Terra's door she calls out. "T you ok in there?"
"She must not be up yet. I'll go check on her." Anyka says heading to the stairs.
Knocking gently on Terra's door she calls out. "T you ok in there?"
As she knocks on the door, she discovers it is slightly cracked open already, the door creaks as it opens.
Terra senses the movement coming in, she recognizes the footfalls, the presence of Anyka.
it feels like a nice day.
"It...it is. Are you okay? You're rooms usually a mess but..." she walks across the room to place a hand on her sister's shoulder."What's going on sis?"

Terra looks toward her sister, Chris has offered to try and heal my eyesight. I don't know, I might not like what I see. its been so long. I'm afraid at what I might loose.
she thinks for a minute, then she points to her eyes, this is a reminder for me. both good, and bad. It reminds me to never be like her. but still it reminds me of her, if that makes any sense.
oh, I'm sorry about the room, I kind of just wanted to...I got angry and....nevermind. just give me a few to get dressed, I'll be down in a bit.
Terra smiles but its obvious that it is a little bit fake.
there is a loneliness in her eyes
