"ahh, wait exscuse me?!" poke quickly ran to the small shop before he could close it down, also taking out the rest of the coins in her pocket and placing them on the counter. She hoped this would be a quick purchase "I need a map of all the cities and towns in nao, if you have one left"

Looking up, the shopkeeper stared at the girl for a moment before letting out a small sigh. He suppose it wouldn't hurt to take in this last customer for the night.
"An atlas... let me see if I have any in stock," he said before turning around to rummage through a few things. It took him several minutes but he did eventually find what he was looking for. Turning back around he placed the folded up map onto the counter and took the gold coins.
"There you go, thank you."

"thankyou very much!" poke walked away with the map in hand, and traveled back to the inn. Once inside it took little time to reach her room. Sitting on the bed (and making sure shun was still asleep) she unraveled the map for a glance ((WE'LL PRETEND THE MAP POKE HAS IS ACTUALLY DECENT ;D))  at first, she felt more confused then she had been before she had the map. Then she realised that she was traveling away from the frozen abyss. "so..we must be around here, near these village areas...But then, were would yuki and the others be?" Sighing, she put the map away and went to bed. She would be able to pin point her location later, once she knew the names of the towns.

Once morning came about, Shun was up, feeling rather refreshed. For a moment, he glanced over at the other bed, seeing Poke fast asleep. Quietly, he went and changed the bandages on his arm and left the inn to start getting the supplies they would need. The next town was a bit of a ways if he recalled correctly, so he would need to get a decent amount of rations for the journey ahead.
Upon finishing this task later on, he began to make his way to the inn. However, before he could walk in, a carrier pigeon had flown up to him.
"Hm?"
After letting the bird land on his arm, he went ahead and took the note it had. At first, he was a bit confused of the letter's contents, and had to reread it several times for things to clear up. It didn't help that the handwriting was a bit sloppy either.
Frowning after having read the letter (and understanding it), he looked away from the inn momentarily, appearing to be a bit troubled.

as usual, poke was not up to getting out of bed at a early time. And since this was the first time she had slept in a bed for the past few days she was very reluntant to get up
"note to self: earn more money so I can sleep in beds more often..." mumbling to herself she eventually got out of bed. She couldn't see shun anywhere so she asumed she would be somewhere else. When she stood up her stomach gave a tell-tale rumble, and she sighed; she had used up all the money she got from the bags yesturday.

After looking it over a few more times, Shun folded up the note and sent the pigeon on its way. He didn't really have anything to reply with. After pocketing the slip of paper, he went on back into his room. Upon entering, he stared at Poke for a few moments, thinking, as if not completely certain what to do. Should he stay on track? Take a detour? Or what? But for now, he just shook his head and went to gather his things.
".. get ready. We'll be leaving soon."

Tessa maneuvered her group to the back of the platform. After the latest slave was shuffled off she took the stage and addressed the crowd.
"Ladies and gentleman, please be so kind as ta lend me yer attention." Her voice carried well over the crowd and most went quiet as they turned their attention to her. "I've got quite the lot for ye, men and woman alike from all over the country. Nothing like yer eyes have ever seen."
She waved for the first lot to be brought up which ended up being the men. One by one the guys were led onstage and Tessa introduced them as she went playing them up to the crowds ear. She stepped up to Neko and Blade first. "Have ye ever seen men with more handsome features?" She passed along in front of them heading toward Atticus and Yuki. "Gods among men. Bodies built for work and for pleasure." She gave a playful wink as she stepped up beside Atticus. "There is someone for everyone, no matter what you like. Whether you like the classic gentleman." She made to place her hands on Atticus's shoulders as she moved behind him to make him step forward. However, she didn't linger as she quickly moved to Yuki. "Or if you like the strong protective type."
"Or maybe," Tessa quickly left Yuki as well as she stepped up behind Blade. "The Noble Knight is your type." In almost a dance like fashion she made her way to Neko bumping him forward as well. "Or perhaps you like a man with a mischievous nature. None the less these men are here to please ye. Strong, confident, and they can be yers as long as the price is right. We'll start with our mischievous one."
Tessa grabbed Neko's arm and pulled him forward nearly knocking him off balance in the process. He sneered and hissed but it went ignored as Tessa continued. "Born feline but let me assure ye ladies he was blessed with more than just good looks. A horse has got nothing on this man."
"What?" Neko questioned for once almost blushing but trying to hide it as he scanned over the crowd of masses ready to bid. There were all types here tonight from lowly thieves to high class officials. He really wondered how they were able to mingle so well.
"Let the bidding start at 500 gold pieces!" Tessa yelled over the crowd and the bidding war began.
(Who would like to rp our fighting arena host? I imagine he might step up and buy all the guys. They may need fresh meat >3 )

While they were up on the stage, Blade looked over the crowd, noting the large variance of people there. He'll need to keep an eye on how things go and hopefully remember who ends up getting each of them. Though, as Tessa began to market them, he twitched slightly when she pitched his thing.
Nobel knight? You're a little off the mark there...
But no matter. No one would really expect a knight to know how to pick locks or anything like that.
Amongst the crowd, a gruff looking man with greased back hair examined the four men being displayed on stage. He wasn't so sure how they would fair in battle exactly, though the lady did say one was a knight. But no matter, crowds didn't mind seeing people get pummeled to a pulp. It'll entertain them.
"600 gold pieces for the cat boy!"

A shady looking guy stepped up after the man made his bid, looking at the people up on the block and sneered. He needed some new blood for his kind of "work", and the woman mentioned he was hung pretty well. Women would pay a pretty penny to get their hands on this guy. And if not..well...he did need a new personal "servant"
"700 gold peices for the cat boy!"

As Atticus was led onto the stage, he glanced at the large crowd of people... Staring at the lot like a fresh piece of sirloin steak. When Tessa called the group's attention, they were like dogs. Waiting for the opportunity to claim the 'treats'.
He listened with rolled eyes to her obviously (to them) false description of their lot. God's among men? If they were, he didn't think they'd be for sale at a slave market.
Then she took a step behind him and pushed him forward. He didn't stumble. He went with it. If anything, he was at least graceful. Oh, it sure would be a joy if he got bought out by a woman. He could see it now. Attempted rape ending in the demanding of a refund the next day. Reciever of said rape being him, of course. He let out a sigh, and glanced Neko's way as the bidding over horse guy began.

"Six hundred, do I hear Seven?" It was only a matter of seconds before someone else chimed in. "Seven hundred! Do I heard eight?"
Well this is just great, Neko thought to himself as he continued to eye the crowd. He was a little leery about the buyers but surely he was worth more than just a measly seven hundred gold?
Behind the stage Mitsu stood behind Riyo nervously looking at the men as they were auctioned off. "What are we going to do?" She practically squeaked.
((Blade if you want to put in a large bid for them all at once you can. Make the auction go faster XD; ))

The man shot a glance in the general direction of the one who bidded against him. Then, thinking for a little bit he turned back towards the stage with somewhat of a grin.
"How 'bout 30,000 gold pieces for all the men?" he shouted out at the auctioneer.
Why not? He was gonna go for them all anyway.

Riyo frowned and looked down at Mitsu. She'd been trying to think of an escape plan since she was on the wagon... But almost all of them had been scratched out by one factor or another. They were surrounded by guards, there were hundreds of people out there, and these damn collars.
She hadn't tested what they did. Riyo had thought about it. Maybe they were a bluff. But if they weren't, she'd surely blow her cover. This whole time, she had been hoping that they'd drop her guard around her. Just for one moment.... To no avail. It was clear they'd done this numerous times before.
And now she stood there. Helpless. As their friends were bid upon like items. Riyo kept her eyes on them for a moment, then looked to the ring leader. That woman. Her eyes burned into Tessa like scalding hot coals. What would she do... If the hunter became the hunted?

Tessa seemed to be taken a back for a moment before a large grin crossed her face. "Thirty Thousand gold for the lot! Do I hear any competition?" The crowd was unusually silent so Tessa took that as a no. "Sold!" She chimed happily before she turned back to the men the cheery smile on her face replaced with the cold hearted grin of a savage wench. "Play nice with your new owner boys. Now get them to that man and collect my money!" She ordered to her men who started to lead the guys off stage.
"That's not all ladies and gents!" Tessa called to calm the crowd that was starting to stir as the men were led into the masses. Apparently there were a far share of women who had their eye on a couple of them and they had no shame in letting them know. It was a job trying to recollect their attention as the whooping and shouting began.
"Hey baby!" Came a few calls.
"If you manage to escape why don't you find your way to me, I'll show you what a real woman's like."
"Such a shame, I'm sure you would have made a great lover."
The comments weren't all scary but they surely came from the scariest of people. It was no wonder the women were here trying to bid on men. Most of them could have been mistaken for men themselves. Shuttering at the thought Neko kept eye contact with his feet shuffling forward as he was forced to do.
"People, people!" Tessa's voice carried through the crowd and few by few they started to give her their attention again. Clearing her throat she smiled her charming smile again. "That's not all! We have a couple of fine young ladies for the bid as well. Exotic beauties from all over the country." She waved for the girls to be brought up, Mitsu being the first to be pushed forward.
"W...what?" She asked in a scared voice as she was practically lifted up the stairs. Stumbling forward once on the platform she fell into Tessa who wrapped her arms around her like a snake holding its prey.
"The first lovely lady is Mitsu," Tessa smiled having remembered the name and took hold of Mitsu's hand making her swirl. The dress she wore bellowed out and almost exposed her if Mitsu hadn't acted quickly and pushed it down with a feverish blush crossing her face. The crowd of men began to cheer as if that was the only introduction needed. "Cute with the slight hint of childish features, her innocent nature and shy demeanor make her a prefect match for any man looking to venture into a little taboo."
The man began to cheer again as she moved Mitsu along and waved for Riyo to be brought up next. That cold look returned to her face as she stared down at Riyo but the smile never wavered. The cat girl had a look about her, she was angry, no doubt about that. But there was a certain quality to her eyes, that of a creature that thirsted for blood perhaps? Never the less she waved for the men to bring her onstage as she began her introduction.
"Next we have an exotic beauty, tall, slender, fair skin, and golden hair. The only darkness about her are her tail and ears giving a brief glimpse into her mysterious nature."
