Welcome to Gaia! ::

Colm stood next to Ashe and slowly leaned over. He covered his mouth from the bailiff and whispered, "You know I could just eat the information out of him. Plus torture is the most effective way to get information out of people." The vampire smirked. Did I really just say that?

Looking around briefly, Foster noticed there wasn't any other staff around at the moment. "Y-Your uh... Majesties. Atlantis is it?" He scratched his head somewhat confused before regaining his composure and fixing his glasses. "I mean I believe we have some reports on record, but I thought that was just a myth."

"A myth we are very interested in." Ashe could have ground her heel into his foot but instead asked. "May we speak to the chancellor please? Or you could just bring up the information you have. Neither one of us wants to see Colm eat you."

Only an idiot would threaten one of the only sources of information we have. I'm doomed. Ashe bowed politely to the bailiff and made her way into the office, but before entering she narrowed her eyes at Colm. "Do NOT talk, alright? If you come in you're not allowed to speak, if you plan on speaking anyways then just wait out here!" And with that she went in to speak to the chancellor.

Bailiff Foster seemed somewhat disillusioned watching the leaders of present and past proceed toward the Chancellor's office. He turned his focus to the door hearing the grand entrance of a newcomer. Clearing his throat to clear the awkwardness, Foster raised his arm. "Yes sir, what can I help you with?"

Chancellor Vittance felt an uneasy pressure in the air approaching his office door. He set down his quill and placed his hands on top of his desk, almost in fear and anticipation of who was about to enter his office.

Vittance almost froze in place on Ashe's jovial entrance. His jaw dropped and he could barely believe his eyes, after all he was currently reviewing the details of her death as written across the parchment he was annotating. It took a moment for her words to seep in and the shock to subside. " Your Highness! Er... ...of course." It took a deep breath and a roll of the shoulders, but the Chancellor could still barely fathom what was going on. He stood up and turned to the shelving to his side, going over to it and collecting a small stack of papers and an old rusty tackle box. After setting the box down on the edge of his desk, the chancellor popped it open."Well, this is what was donated by a band of explorers as the most recent evidence. Truth be told, we've gotten reports of all sorts of ruins out in the sea, so I can't guarantee that this will lead you to what you seek." Within the box lied some hand tools, an old leather bound diary, a stained map and sketches, and a cracked compass.

Colm smiled as he followed Ashe into the office. He bowed and said, "Greetings Vittance. Its a pleasure to finally meet you." The vampire glared at Ashe. Are you mad? You practically gave the man a heart attack!
