What's good about it whippersnapper?
Oh sure, just ignore the old man. Damn whippersnapper.

"Sir" now. Well, that's mighty polite of you sonny. Unlike some of them other whippersnappers. They sass me too much.
"A wine shop perhaps?" she asks with a grin. "You know, since you already own a vineyard and all."
"That's true. It wouldn't take too much of an investment to clean the place up. Hmmm...."
"A vineyard and a winery, actually. A new location to sell it out of could be interesting (and would make the folks happy too)."
Cogs start turning....
"Well why not? I've already taken care of the paperwork with the city government, so they know who I am and that it's all above-board. I just need to make a few arrangements back home, do some work on the cellar..."
He gives an endearing smile to Allura.
"So - you up for dabbling in some honest mercantilism, my dear?"

"So - you up for dabbling in some honest mercantilism, my dear?"
Allura smiled back. It's hard to remember to be cynical around Devlyn, one of the reasons why she loved him.
"Honest mercantilism is it? Well, that is a novelty," she teased. "And it sounds perfect," she added with a kiss.

"Alrighty then, guess it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. We need to see about getting that building up to snuff before we do anything else, so let's get back to the Bazaar and see what we need to do. You coming, LK?"
"Alrighty then, guess it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. We need to see about getting that building up to snuff before we do anything else, so let's get back to the Bazaar and see what we need to do. You coming, LK?"
Allura smiled at Lk. "It'll be lots of hard work, but it should be fun too."
Allura smiled at Lk. "It'll be lots of hard work, but it should be fun too."

"Now we just have to knock out that weird magical silence that is hanging over the place - though it will help keep contstruction noise down, on the bright side..."
Assuming that LK comes along (and the brothers are also welcome), Devlyn will bundle the group back to the Bazaar of the Bizarre.

Allura smiled at Lk. "It'll be lots of hard work, but it should be fun too."
"You coming, LK?"
"Sure, it gets boring being alone in the forest anyway."
"I'll help too."
"I'll help too."
"Same here. Only seems fair after you tried to helped me and kept Aidan from going all dark and sinister."
He punches Aidan in the shoulder and is punched back. It soon turns into a brotherly brawl that Oroth wins.
"Boys." Allura laughed and rolled her eyes as she watched the newly reunited brothers try to pummel each other.
Aurora lands just outside the temple's entrance, and Rio hops off to help Serafina down as well. He then opens the door for her and they enter the Sanctum together.
They are greeted by Bouncer. "Ello, welcome to the Sanctum. How can we be of service?"
"Boys." Allura laughed and rolled her eyes as she watched the newly reunited brothers try to pummel each other.
"Nothing like sibling love to brighten the day," he chuckles to himself. "If there is no need for me or my divine talents, I have another pressing matter that garnishes my attention. It seems I have a politician hiding in the Sanctum and someone wishes collect his soul. "And Alaina, if you wish to accompany your friends to the Bazaar, free to do so."
Sighing, "No good deed ever goes unfinished..." Sunny G. walks into the Sanctum's wall, disperses, and reconstitutes himself in his private chambers. Once there, he scries (i.e. Legend Lore, Discern location, etc.) the Sanctum for any reference to Gumbal Merryweather.
Suuny G. also looks into any arcane of divine knowledge, anything to do with artificial intelligence, vocal synthesizers, and physical modification/magical enhancement.
Sunny G again muses, "I hope the cyberdragon came with an instruction manual..."
It seems I have a politician hiding in the Sanctum and someone wishes collect his soul.
"Oh man, I forgot about that. Is it oaky if I meet you guys at the Bazaar? I promised Sunny G that if my reformation was complete I'd help him find this politician."
"Oh man, I forgot about that. Is it oaky if I meet you guys at the Bazaar? I promised Sunny G that if my reformation was complete I'd help him find this politician."
"Does this man require asylum? I can offer him protection here in the Sanctum if he accepts it."
"Does this man require asylum? I can offer him protection here in the Sanctum if he accepts it."
"I don't know Sunny, you told me about him remember?"
It seems I have a politician hiding in the Sanctum and someone wishes collect his soul."Oh man, I forgot about that. Is it oaky if I meet you guys at the Bazaar? I promised Sunny G that if my reformation was complete I'd help him find this politician."
"Oh! I had forgotten about him. Yes, we brought him here from the Bazaar. He had bought one of the stars off of the merchants there and in order to get it back from him we had to promise to help him get his soul back. The foolish man sold it for political gain."
"Oh! I had forgotten about him. Yes, we brought him here from the Bazaar. He had bought one of the stars off of the merchants there and in order to get it back from him we had to promise to help him get his soul back. The foolish man sold it for political gain."
"A souless politician? [sarcasm]Impossible![/sarcasm]"
They are greeted by Bouncer. "Ello, welcome to the Sanctum. How can we be of service?"
Rio gestures toward Serafina.
"She would like a moment with Alaina, if possible."When they walk in, Rio stays close to Serafina and is ready to move in front of her should the need arise.
"And Alaina, if you wish to accompany your friends to the Bazaar, free to do so."
ALaina smiles
I haven't been shopping in ages. I think I will. Thanks boss!
Alaina puts on a sleek black dress and several well-rendered Sunny G holy items disguised as fashionable jewelry, some Manolo Blahnik pumps and she accompanies the others
Rio and Serafina see Alaina walking towards the omniportal. Alaina hesitates when she sees Serafina. She frowns and approaches:
You have a lot of nerve coming to my Sanctum Innocent Blood. She snarls
Serafina cringes at the harsh tone.
I ... I ... just want you to know I am sorry for everything that happened She whispers
Alaina snarls again
Sorry wont bring Magdelena and the other girls back to life. Sorry doesn't help reform my club. Sorry doesn't MAKE THE PAIN OF FEELING THEM ALL DIE GO AWAY!
Alaina begins shreiking
Serafina begins to cry, great wracking sobs
Alaina brushes past the two
Stay out of my way and out of my life, Innocent Blood. Come near me again and I wont be as pleasant ..
Alaina hops in the omniportal and flashes away
"Hey, she isn't Innocent Blood, you whiner." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth. "The vampire is dead."
"Hey, calm down, girl. It ain't you, the vamp's dead. Quit whining." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth.
"Hey, she isn't Innocent Blood, you whiner." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth. "The vampire is dead."
"Hey, calm down, girl. It ain't you, the vamp's dead. Quit whining." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth.
Meepo sighs, amidst coughing.
"Saeroth, are you even capable of understand mortals? You don't call them 'whiners' when they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown."
"Hey, she isn't Innocent Blood, you whiner." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth. "The vampire is dead."
"Hey, calm down, girl. It ain't you, the vamp's dead. Quit whining." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth.Meepo sighs, amidst coughing.
"Saeroth, are you even capable of understand mortals? You don't call them 'whiners' when they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown."
"Oh, please. It's no fun otherwise!"
"Oh, please. It's no fun otherwise!""Hey, she isn't Innocent Blood, you whiner." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth. "The vampire is dead."
"Hey, calm down, girl. It ain't you, the vamp's dead. Quit whining." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth.Meepo sighs, amidst coughing.
"Saeroth, are you even capable of understand mortals? You don't call them 'whiners' when they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown."
"Please go, Saeroth. I've no time for you."
"Please go, Saeroth. I've no time for you.""Oh, please. It's no fun otherwise!""Hey, she isn't Innocent Blood, you whiner." Says the ever-compassionate Saeroth. "The vampire is dead."

"Saeroth, are you even capable of understand mortals? You don't call them 'whiners' when they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown."
Saeroth sighs.
"Oh, fine. But I hope you're ready to tell Frogskin when he arrives."
Meepo watches Saeroth vanish, then turns to Serafina.
"You alright? Should I send for Rio? Why did he leave you here in the first place?"
Serafina begins to cry, great wracking sobs
Rio clenches his fists.
Alaina brushes past the two
Stay out of my way and out of my life, Innocent Blood. Come near me again and I wont be as pleasant ..
Alaina hops in the omniportal and flashes away
To no one in particular,
"Threaten her again and I won't pleasent. I can't believe I was friends with her."Turning to Searfina,
"Want to go back to the cave? Or do you want to talk to Sunny G before we go?"
Meepo watches Saeroth vanish, then turns to Serafina.
"You alright? Should I send for Rio? Why did he leave you here in the first place?"
"I didn't leave her here! Being to angry to talk can make conversation difficult!"
Sunny G again muses, "I hope the cyberdragon came with an instruction manual..."
A thin manual slides from the chest of the metallic dragon. Further examination reveals that the manual holds much more information than it's size would make it appear.
Meepo watches Saeroth vanish, then turns to Serafina.
"You alright? Should I send for Rio? Why did he leave you here in the first place?""I didn't leave her here! Being to angry to talk can make conversation difficult!"
"I am warning you, Rio. Do not pit yourself against Alaina. No matter who wins, a friend will be killed. I advise you to leave here, before she comes back. Remember, Sunny may or may not be ion her side, but that's not a risk worth taking."
"I am warning you, Rio. Do not pit yourself against Alaina. No matter who wins, a friend will be killed."
Rio's face becomes unreadable.
"I do not kill."
Alaina brushes past the two
Stay out of my way and out of my life, Innocent Blood. Come near me again and I wont be as pleasant ..
Alaina hops in the omniportal and flashes away
