Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Well... I'm home. And I'm wonderin' where eva'buddy else is, since, from what I was told, at least Koku and Kojiro were going to be here today. They could have at least done back and forth for them... ))

((Kokuza! Make with postalige!))

"Up the stairs!" he said, waving...then stopped, turning to notice his friend's condition slowly worsening, "Uh...we better hurry,"

Ryutsume strode to the stairs, Edge clanking noisily at his side and he did a light jog. Upon reaching the entrance to the stairwell, he turned and faced his companion, jogging in one place uneasily.

(( Hohmygosh! I'm here! O_o; ))

((Yay, Geck!))

With a bound, the emerald-haired swordsman and Kokuza headed up the stairs as fast as they could. After a minute or more of stumbling around in the darkness of the stairwell, the two finally reached the top, where a pair of steel doors faced them and then swung on their own. Inside, Ryutsume and Kokuza could see a series of shelves lining the walls, covered in more tomes, and body parts in jars. Skulls hung on the walls, and a purple-haired sorceress read from an old book uneasily just as they entered. At her side was a small, humanoid creature, with scaly brown skin, a dirty sleeveless toga and something that looked like a theatre mask. It was Mistress Valda, the one they sought.

((So here we are, one authentic RO sorceress and her RO goblin attendant...if you have problems picturing him, just imagine a shy-guy from Mario.

Kurio, Geck, whatever you want to be called now, you can post in between Kokuza and meself.))

(( Alrriiiiiight. xD Time for the random, out of order postage, just because I need something to do. gonk

Hope j00 don't mind ))

Kurio, Geck, Zeid, whatever you prefer, casually walked down the streets, examining each shop's sign as he went. After only a mere three minutes of walking, though, he discovered what he was looking for - the weapons shop.

"Mmph, good." He murmured, opening the door to said shop, before stepping inside.

"I need some throwing knives, a staff, some exploding spheres..." He said as he walked in, not knowing anyone was inside. Once he discovered this fact, however, he glanced around curiously, then shrugged and jumped over the counter, helping himself to what he needed.

It wasn't stealing if you were mabye going to give it back, right?

Either way he could care less, and grasped the best metal staff he could find. It was durable, he figured, so he attached a sturdy strip of cloth, which he strung around the staff carefully, adding a sort of holder for his newly obtained weapon. Promptly he strung the strap over his shoulders, causing the staff to hug against his back diagonally.

As for throwing knives, he wasted no time at all "borrowing" a belt which contained slots to put the secondary weapons in. He needed a belt anyways, since his slacks were about ready to fall down to his ankles.

The exploding spheres, however, seemed a bit out of the ordinary. They were black little balls that had thin string attached to the top. When grasped correctly, the heat from one's palm would cause the spheres to radiate a deep crimson hue, which signified they would explode upon impact. For some strange, magical reason, they could not explode unless grasped. Five were contained in each small pouch, so he grabbed two and attached them to his new belt.

"Good!" He said to himself as he made his way out the door, before seating himself on the nearest bench outside. Kurio then proceeded to remove the alcohol from his pocket, which he uncorked, and he began to drink the contents.


(( I didn't spellcheck or anything, so the post prolly sucks. ))

"Mistress Valda..." Kokuza's voice was tight and dry. "I must first apologize for involving you in this dire matter, but we are few and lacking in strength and knowledge enough to deal with a situation that has grown desperately out of hand. We seek your counsel, and, if you can be persuaded, your help." Kokuza coughed.
"Before I explain, do you know of Ahrim?"
