Welcome to Gaia! ::

" "Right," said the shop person. "I was just telling this other girl. The slums in the south are usually patrolled by Three-men, to make sure that no one there gets ahead in the world. There's one of them, Percius. We actually used to be friends until he disguised himself as a Threeman for espionage. Well, they fell for his disguise so much that he's now really a Threeman, and he's living a better life than before. The thing is, he stole MY prized Silver Pocketwatch to prove his wealth! If you or anyone else helping brings back the watch, I will split this slime so that everyone who helps gets some. It's nasty, but I've had some before, and it works wonders on your health, let me tell you..."

He points. "The Southern Slums are that way. You have to go about a mile before you reach his post. He probably has friends too... Ughh....""

With a sigh Kit ran a hand through her hair. "Gee, don't ask for much, do ya? Ok, I'll see if I can get the watch back."

This is soooo stupid. I am so going to die doing this... That icky stuff in a jar had better be worth it.

Oh well, at least it'll be a quick death.

She casts a quick look around before giving a shrug and starting off in the direction the shop man had pointed her in.

"Except they didn't call him the Mayor. They called him the Five. Not "Fiveman- something...", just The Five. Rumors said that he had everything the people had and ever wanted, but there was of course no way of proving it. They also say the one thing he doesn't have is a real name."

"He didn't have a name before he was elected?"

"He probably did, but he and everyone else forgot all about it."

Vaughan took a sip of tonic water.

((Kind of ironic how this thread's slowing down DURING school vacation...))

Already being wound up, when the boy yelled to get her attention Kit jumped, squealed, and dove behind Garret... Not the bravest of things she could have done, but he looked much more capable of handling anything nasty than she was.

After finally calming down enough to see that it was just another kid she took a deep breath and forced her heart to stop trying to leap out her throat.

"Um.. What?"

After waiting around in the room for awhile, Nica grabbed her room key and headed outside. She could hear someone yelling out there and wanted to check it out just in case it was more of the threemen.

As she reached the area she could see a girl ducking behind one of the vigilantes from that morning, and she thought she might have caught a glimpse of Trivicus in the crowd, but she wasn't sure.

Garret stood up and stepped back. "You gotta remember that "Five guy" you're after, happens to be, like, the President." He chuckled softly and shook his head. "Regardless of the circumstances, no one here is crazy enough to go and try to kill him...at least not with all those guards he has now." He turned and looked at Kit with another smile on his face and pulled her out from behind him, "You're really jumpy...There's nothing here for you to fear." Garret spoke to Kit while trying to hold back a small fit of laughter. I'm surrounded by crazy people!

"Rats, where?!" Kit actually attempted to climb on top of Garret to escape the nasty things. "Arrgghhh! Dontletitcrawlupmyleg!"

During her frantic scrambling she looks around trying to spot any of the disease infested rodents she was sure had to be around, trying to crunch their bones or whatever it was that giant rats did.
