"Thats true," Todd smiles and looks around "Given the state of affairs shouldn't we be thinking about making a move?."
Todd hangs at the back looking completely bemused and out of place.
"Well this is sure to be interesting, and a pleasure to have you joining us Miss Glas," He smirks at Ameii "Lead on oh fearless guide,"
"Looks like we have an opportunity to get this show on the road, I take it that the dor will be open for a while or are we in a rush?"
"I don't think so," Todd answers Lyus.
Todd gives the young lady a once over as she slows near the table, "and theres a sight," he turns to Ameii "she looks human, you said we were somewhat rare this side so..."
"Always good to know you've got someone to watch your back, now we've eaten are we waiting on something or shall we think about making a move?".
"Oh its not that much of a mystery I like people to feel good is all, and one of the better ways I've found is making them look good. Seems to bring a smile to most peoples faces."
"Well what can I say, I grew up on a farm near Clearbrook and boy did I get bored, this resulted in me leaving home at 16 to go find my place in life in the city, got into a few scrapes here and there before settling down to learn Barbering, you see I think looking good helps you feel good and when you feel good your more likely to be good to those around you." He smiles as he says this. "I returned to Clearbrook about 7 years ago now as one of those scrapes resulted in having to leave." the smile turns slightly wistful at this point followed by a sigh.
"A few days possibly more, we're definately going to require something in the way of supplies then," Todd says between mouthfuls of the meal. "What sort of trouble could we expect if things get interesting?"
Todd goes to the grill carefully selects a selection of lean red meats and vegetables, then returns to the table. Noticing Amie looking at Sam he smiles slightly to himself before becoming seated. "Ok time to tuck in I think" he says adjusting his gloves and pulling out some eating utensils from a pouch.
"Thank you, I think I'll try that then."
Todd takes a seat and addresses their host "So what would you recomend."
"Ok so we have a guide, thank you for that by the way, and some equipment for those that know how to use it, and I echo the request to get some food.", Todd turns to Sam "I'm sorry if that skit seemed a little harsh but I needed to bring you down to earth fast and guess I chose the wrong way to do it, its not the first time I've mucked up royally, and I guess I need to process whats going a little bit more as well."
Todd gives Sam a patronising look. "Guess you've been too busy mooning over her sister to notice the fact that she's grown up, or at least thinks she has," and as to the situation deepens his voice to a heroic timbre "Grace we're here to rescue you,"
"Actually sounds more like skuldugery than out and out fighting, and I don't suppose anyones thought about the situation of Grace not wanting to be rescued"
"Well ok then even if I'm hardly equipped for an extended foray out in the wilderness." Todd pulls various bits of barbering paraphenalia out of various pockets and looks them over, "at least we can look good doing it." he smiles and puts the stuff away.
"Now Paulus you say things like that and you'll jinx it," Todd says with a smile,
Paulus and Kayos Spoiler: Todd creases up laughing "Thats such a priceless expression on your face," composing himself and adressing Amie "Well my dear lead on,"
Paulus and Kayos
Spoiler: "More to the point where is Lyus since I believe I was the last to make the transition as it were," he raises an eyebrow at Ameii's comment, "Well then I guess your the one responsable for our current predicament?"
Kayos and Paulus Spoiler: "Well bad is somewhat of a subjective matter, though I think we may have found where the others ended up, good day ladies." Todd says a smile on his face.
Spoiler: "Well thats a delightfully intriguing sound" Todd relaxes opening his eyes and taking a look around.
Spoiler: Todd closes his eyes and immerses himself in the noises around him centering himself on thoughts of beauty and its presence within all things, the interplay of the movement in a fight and a dance, the colours and shapes the mind generates in the dark against the brightness of a summers day, all the while preparing for what may be about to come.
Lyus, Paulus and Kayos of course. Spoiler: "Just stay still untill Lyus gets that lantern lit. "
Spoiler: "What the...!", Todd allows his old reflexes to take hold and drops into a fighting position whilst holding still ready to move any direction if needed.
"Sounds like a plan, Lyus you know the woods better than I do I think you better take the lead."
"Well we have two missing people including a skilled woodsman so I suggest we go as a slightly larger group just in case something is going on and Misty here wasn't just seperated from Sam and got turned around, lead on Lyus."
"It can't be all that bad, now calm down a little and start from the beginning, you were saying yoou've lost two of them?." Todd said soothingly.
"Moss!, do you want to completely wreck your chances with the young lady?" Todd says keeping pace with the young man.
"Excuse me Lyus," Todd says as he dodges around the younger man, "I need to have a word with Moss, by the way pop in some time soon your moustache needs a bit of work." Todd raises his voice slightly, and hurries to catch up, "Moss!, hold it there for a sec I need a word,"
"I think someone needs to head them off since that boy is thinking with entirely the wrong part of his anatomy." 1d20+6=21 Sense Motive "I couldn't drag you away from your lady here however much I think that two people would make Moss think twice if he decides to be awkward especially with his brother at his back." Todd looks slightly exasperated with that statement. "Thought he would have known better." Todd gives a sweeping bow, "Phoenix, it looks like I'll have to take my leave of your company, I'll try to be back for the main event." and with that he spins and strides off to attempt to intercept the Fivetrees.
Todd watches the brothers Fivetree head off in the direction Sam and Misty took into the woods. "Paulus... I don't know the younger Fivetree particularly well you don't think their about to do some thing stupid do you?."
Todd smiled at the sight of young love and let his mind drift back to his days in the city.
Todd leans back were he's sat and waits for Phoenix to answer Paulus question.
Todd laughs, "Always good to see you young uns wishing to expand your knowledge," Todd mimes being old and frail gesturing as if he had a stick, "I'm not so old as all that you need to call me mister, Todds just fine."
Todd adjusts his gloves slightly as he puts away his brush, "Thats why some clever person invented gloves, though sometimes you have to do unpleasent things in this life. So tell me about this festival then its one I don't think I've attended before."
Todd looks down at Phoenix, "I'm not really that important, I guess people just realised theres more to my philosophy than styling hair and removing blemishes."
Little Phoenix is overjoyed at Todd's antics and tries her hardest to copy him, failing for the mostpart but seemingly having a great time doing it. Attempting a tumble she ends up flat on her back staring up at the sky and laughing heartily. A few of the other villagers appear to have noticed the pair and seem to be watching Todd closely with intrigued looks. Todd gets to his feet, smiling broadly he pulls out a brush from one of his pockets and brushes hinself down. "Ah feeling good, what you thought I wouldn't look good when I move as well"
"Thats alright its all about feeling good, its just looking good helps that." Todd follows the girl into the dance spinning and tumbling witha level of skill that might surprise those who know him.
"Yay!" The little gypsy girl chirps as she pulls Todd along with her "I'm sure you're a good dancer really! My sisters say they're not very good too but they are! I want to be able to dance like them! I like your hair! It's very shiny! What's your name? I'm Phoenix!" She rattles on, seemingly in one breath. "I'm Todd nice to meet you, the trick with hair is to find the balance between washing it too often and not often enough, of course having it correctly layered also helps."
"Alright little one, though I'm really not very good," Todd lets himself be led to join the dancing.
Having made sure all his tools were in order and spent a a few minutes or so getting spruced up, Todd wandered out and down to the village centre. Stopping briefly to study the riot of colour, it was good to see people feeling good about themselves. He winced "Ouch, that young man must be colour blind."
Damn yous! :P How long are you gone for hun? Hah, Should be some point Saterday, but posting wise its more a so I don't end up with the quiz from mother dearest on what I'm upto.
Currently in Brighton so posting may be somewhat intermittent for a few days.
I forgot monks start with so little gold, damnabbit, any chance of squeezing the needed kit for my profession out of the kind and loving DM? (Healers Kit, Surgeons tools and barbering gear?.) Oh and since I believe 20 may have been nabbed any chance of one of the houses just to the left of 23.
Well given that Sorcerors get eschew materials as a bonus feat at first level that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Otherwise its gotta catch em all time for those expensive ones.
Ok so heres Todd, got a couple of feats on there from Nicks latest indulgence batch that fit his more pugilisty style if thats not ok I have other options though. History still to come and possibly some more on his personality. |
