She flips through her book, and finds an ingredient for the man that she had never seen before. She grabs one of the pieces of parchments she placed near the book and begins to write down the ingredient. She smiles, and then heads toward the man, finally noticing he had pointy ears! He was an Elf, It wasn't common to see an Elf. The woman took a few looks at the man, she had studied elves before, but never had seen one up close. She smiles again, and hands him the note. The note reads: 10 canisters made of tin.
10 Tin Cans.

Jonathan smirks slyly to himself. An easy task, he thought. He bowed to the woman before he left, returning in an hour with two small jars, the lids poked open with tiny air holes, both filled with fifteen fireflies. "That was most amusing, m'lady," he speaks, resting both jars on the nearby table. "Catching them reminded me of my youth, before I became an officer in the Royal Navy."

(I have to send Aurora on her task, then I'll finish yours Lockesly) The woman heads back to her table and looks through her book, ah here's another ingredient that was needed. She grabs the last piece of parchment she placed out when she gave Tracey his task, and writes down on it. She then walks to the woman, and hands her the note, "I wish you good luck on this," she smiles and heads back to her table, examining the ingredients already gathered and her book. The note reads: 10 Small fish, red in colour. Clean them well, they must not have any dirt, or seaweed in their scales!
10 Red Guppies

The woman smiles, "Thank you, and I hope the small trip down memory lane was enjoyable," She takes the jars of fireflies and attempts to give the man 2 Doubloons. She hoped he would take both of the Doubloons, she felt sort of cheap when he only accepted 5 doubloons of the 15 for the Dragon.

Jonathan reaches out and takes the woman's hand, kissing the back of it yet again, but taking none of the gold. "I humbly decline, m'lady," he speaks in his flirtatious tone again, "for the dubloons can be used to pay others who wish your tasks. I only humbly desire, as payment, a name for you to be known by when I dream tonight."

Her eyes grow wide, such behaviour was new to her. She hadn't left the Research Room since she somehow appeared there a few years ago....
(~Flashback: Skip is you don't want to know some history~)
The year was 1825, she had gathered a few ingredients from an ancient spell book that she had found deep within a cave she was able to go and explore. She placed the ingredients into a pot and put it over a fire, once it had come to a boil she then read the incantation, "Azarah Nordeh Mefreid Navour!" The pot began to shine brightly, the light was blinding so she comvered her eyes.
When she uncovered them, she was in a dark room. Books were piled on the tables, she looked through a few and noticed they were spell books. They had dates written on them, most didn't have dates on them but yet they looked as if they were written on parchment used in the 1600's - 1700's. It was still 1825, wasn't it? The books should have been roughly 125 - 225 years old, there was no way they could look as if they were only written a few days before she had found them.
She must have traveled back in time roughly 125 - 225 years! Her spell had horribly failed, and now she was in the past, the age of pirates, and thugs! She noticed a door, leading to a hallway that led to the outside world. She was unsure if she should leave the room, it had many spell books for her to read and she quite enjoyed reading. There were also many tools for casting spells, she could work with the spells to maybe one day find a spell to send her back home...
(~End of Flashback~)
"My name..." she says, she sighs and looks at the man again. "My name is Sarah..." her face turned red, then she speaks up again, "and what is your name?" She didn't know if he would answer, but it was worth a try.

((histories are always fun to read 3nodding ))
The officer smirks and grins devilishly. "Now, that piece of information would require a task from you," he remarked with a wink, "would it not?" Jonathan delicately stroked the back of Sarah's hand with his fingers with a genuine smile on his lips. "But that would be cruel of me to deny you the information when you have given me the honor, many times over, of seeing the lovely hue of pink from the beautiful blush upon your face," he continues. "Graves. Jonathan Graves, m'lady."

Aurora watched carefully as the tome keeper set out to discover something she needed for her spells. With curious eyes, the young barmaid awaited as patiently as possible. Having heard rumors of Tracey's dubloons, she hoped to find a great deal of earnings for herself as well.
With thanks, Aurora bowed her head and set out in search of the small red fish. It took a few hours to find ten fish of the correct hue and clean them off correctly, but soon enough Aurora had exactly what the tome keeper had requested. Returning quietly, she brought the fishes in a small pail she had found. "Here ye go. Was there anything else I could get you?" She asked, a pleased expression on her face.

Tracey was irritated, why did it seem like every noisy old housewife was looking out their windows as he picked the last fifteen sunflowers? Oh, yeah, because everywhere he turned it was either a sigh about how romantic he was, or a tongue lashing about how sunflowers weren't the proper flowers for the number he had them in. Which did have some logic, the things were getting very heavy and his extra care as to not to lose one petal or have even one seed dislodge did make this task a bit harder then any by the beetle and microphone. However, the ladies didn't have to call him daft!
Still, smiling he came back into the Tome Keeper's place and handed over the bouquet, bowing slightly because it made his load a bit easier to bare when he had his whole knee and lower leg to help. "Here you are, milady. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Noticing that Sarah, the Tome keeper had been getting herself a good look at his ears, Nicolas narrows his eyes and lifts a hand to grab at his own ear. Giving it a slight tug, he spoke roughly, "Yes, they are real.." With that, he snagged the piece of parchment and went off in search of whatever it was he had to find. Once he read it, he couldn't help but let out a laugh. How difficult would those be to find?
An hour later, a more frustrated Nicolas returned to the Tome Keeper, bag of cans in hand. It had been more difficult than he imagined, though the idea of dubloons being rewarded was enough for the man to accept the hour of work. Tossing them in the direction of Sarah so they would land carefully at her feet, he spoke, "So, what else y' need?"

Her eyes grew wide, those 45 Sunflowers were very heavy, though that wasn't a suprise. She put the Sunflowers down beside her table, then walked back to Tracey. "Thank you yet again for your help, here are 3 Doubloons," She hands Tracey the 3 Doubloons.
"There probably is someting you could do to help me, but I seem to have mis-placed my spell book!" Sarah goes to her table looking for her spell book. Somehow, it wasn't there anymore. She bolts from table to table searching frantically for the spellbook.

Jonathan fidgets, looking around nerviously. "I was thinking of asking for another task to gleen information from you, m'lady," he meekly speaks, "but considering the circumstances, I believe that would be in bad form until you retrieve your tome." He stays standing to one side, looking around, hoping not to intrude.

((How many dubloons do Nicolas & Aurora earn?))
Aurora looks somewhat worried and frustrated at the disappearance of the tome book. Making her way over towards Sarah and then glancing towards where she had last seen it, she attempted to help search for it. "But it wasn't long ago that I saw you had it.."

Sarah notices that the Elf, and the woman had brought back the items she asked them to get for her. "Oh great," she quickly walks over to them and hands each of them 2 Doubloons. She takes the items and puts them on the table.
"I know, that's what bothers me!" She looks through the table filled with Ingredients and notices some paper underneath some of the ingredients. "What is this?" She pulls the paper, and out came a black spellbook. She looked quite shocked, then embarassed that she lost her book under the ingredients...
"Everything is alright now, I found the book..." her face yet again was deep red.

Nicolas quickly puts away the two dubloons into his pocket and then returns his gaze to Sarah. It seemed the ridiculous amount of tin was not as valuable as he had hoped. He was about to leave the room when he noticed that she had found her book again. Turning around he asked "Is there anything that you REALLY need me to find for you?" in a greater hope to earn more dubloons for himself.
