Merry Christmas, everyone!
Still not clear here. I'm hoping to catch up in the new year. Bot away with Himo till then.

Hey folks. I've been wiped with a cold... then felt rough today. Now I'm awaiting a covid-19 test. I hope to catch up again soon.
Himo remains quiet, not wanting to add much around a member of the Watch.
Just a note. My rate of posting has gotten more erratic lately. It may remain that way for some weeks yet.
"We do not know for certain.", replies Himo, hoping that the literal truth will stave off further questions. "Let us get going then!", he says to Mitchell, eager to be done with this entire business.
Himo looks in horror and readies himself to dive to catch the wrapped....whatever it is. Acrobatics check if needed:
"SSSH!", replies Himo, feeling jumpy and irritated.
Himo waits near, perturbed by these events.
Himo dashes back upstairs, asking the workmen: "A shovel!? Do you have a shovel I can borrow!?"
I'm okay with the pace. I'm just finding it tougher to keep up with pbp in general atm.
Himo looks around, unhappy to have not spotted anything amiss.
Himo follows Mitchell, trying to stay alert for any hint of weirdness.
"Yes. We do that.", replies Himo, still not entirely awake.
"So, that is what happened, Mitchell." "We need assistance I think."
"Huh! What!? Oh.", sputters as he regains consciousness. "Sure, sure. We will get out of your way.", he blearily continues.
Understandable. I'm catching up myself.
I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.
Kitchen Planning: "Definitely yes for me. I doubt I will sleep much anyway. I volunteer for first watch."
Downstairs, Upstairs: "That makes sense. Especially the bit about tea. Up we go.", replies Himo, clearly eager to leave the cellar.
The Downstairs Crew: Himo taps Talliree on the shoulder. The meaningful tap, for stealth work. "We go back up. If someone is messing with us, we sort them out. If it is ghosts...well, we find a way to sort that too. This places is ours, after all!"
Team Downstairs: Himo blinks. Still staring at the spot where the gravedigger stood, he says: "Did you two see that?"
Team Fright in the Night: Himo turns to look at Hob with worry on his face, then starts to both get up and turn to face Talliree. He quietly says: "Shovel. Below. No voices. Ambush?"
Team Still-A-Bit-Sleepy: Himo rubs his eyes - and wakes up considerably more when he realises the reality of the sounds. He imitates Hob in listening from the floor.
Team Half-Awake: Himo joins the sleepy searchers in their seeking of Mr. Whiskers.
Kitchen: "Huh?", murmers Himo as he blearily looks about, then follows Hob.
Mostly positive, which is something.
Himo continues to sleep blissfully.
I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.
Promising news!
Himo yawns. "It has been a long day. Let us rest well and build on our labours tomorrow!" The half-elf makes for a cozy spot not too far from the fireplace in order to rest.
All the best to you and your family.
No worries!
I like the day by day take.
Himo nods approvingly. "You were ready, of course. I am happy to seek a place to spend that coin!" Himo reaches his hand out for the key.
Himo reads over the page, nods, then signs his name with a deft flourish.
"I am game!", as Himo looks about to see how his friends react.
"Definitely net profits.", emphasises Himo.
Damn. He wants actual *details*. "You did ask that! I have been told that I have a good eye for people. I would agree with that. I back up those close to me, as far as they need." And not a word of a lie in there too!
Himo looks at the items on display appreciatively - and appraisingly. When Mirt asks, he answers. "Name's Himo Liadon. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mirt. We are the new proprietors of Trollskull Manor and we are looking for funds to fix the place up, better than it was. We have heard that you are the man to speak to on that score."
"Let's get going!"
Himo checks over himself. He nods. He knows he looks well.
Himo turns to face Mitchell with a look of surprise on his face. "That sounds odd. I was not upstairs last night in any case."
"Hello, Renaer! A fine, cosy sleep, I must say!"
Duly noted!
"Why yes I did, Mitchell! A fine place and it will only get better through our efforts!"
Himo continues to sleep, content in the warmth.
"For now, down here seems better."
"I am up for staying here. Anyone else?"
"Heh. Anyone know if there is water handy?"
"I would believe that, Tally. We can see what the kitchen has to offer."
