Into the shadows (RPG)

[JSlayerXero]

[Until somebody says otherwise, the others are busy trying to read map] ♫♪

Frederick was almost content with the farmer's explanation until he catches something. "Why would this... coalition..." Frederick took just a split second to try and pronounce that last word correctly. "... be worried about people coming into the city? Do you happen to know anything else about them?"

"You think anybody tells me anything? You're be better off asking somebody inside the town. Good luck getting in though. I just know they're armed. Although they don't seem to like this one guy in town. The past few days there's been this traveling Badge Salesman that's been giving them a hard time."

Off in the distance there's still those people at the gates.[The Colorful Adventures of Daisy] ♫♪

You know it's almost like the lack of traffic wants Daisy to cross this street. You cross the street, jump onto the park bench and then poke the man in the arm. He looks over at you. "Oh hello there, aren't you interesting." He turns his body to look at you closer. "Say, you hungry?" He reaches into his coat pocket and somehow pulls out an entire pie. The thing is almost as large as you are. Smells like cinnamon.

[Zunar]

Zunar groans upon hearing about the armed people. "Great. Just great. We should probably stay on guard then." He suddenly notices someone is missing. "Hey, where'd Daisy go?" He looks around for a moment, his eyes settling on the city ahead. "Don't tell me she went off by herself..."

[Magnen]

*Takes a small nibble*

*Face lights up*

*Devours the rest of the pie*

Zunar groans upon hearing about the armed people. "Great. Just great. We should probably stay on guard then." He suddenly notices someone is missing. "Hey, where'd Daisy go?" He looks around for a moment, his eyes settling on the city ahead. "Don't tell me she went off by herself..."

"Well, I mean, I do know it's possible to sneak you into the town. They don't usually check my produce that thoroughly. I mean unless their leader guy is there. Oh like that would happen though. He's usually too busy searching homes to be at the gate."

Off in the distance there's still those people at the gates.

[The Colorful Adventures of Daisy] ♫♪

You nibble at the pie. My word! That's not just Cinnamon, that's Butterscotch-Cinnamon! Your face lights up and your eyes sparkle so hard the grass around you spontaneously sprouts flowers it's so adorable. You then shove your whole face into it and start gobbling away. While you do that, the man in the purple coat puts something around your neck. It doesn't seem threatening. "This will take a moment to turn on, but it should give you speech once it does." While you're busy chomping away, you hear a clicking noise come from the gadget.

[Zunar]

"Are you saying you'd sneak us in?" Zunar deliberates on this for a few moments.

[Magnen]

"Cool. Question. How did you fit that pie in your coat? Do you have a pocket dimension or something?"

[And yes I'm using that EXACT expression. Also I can talk now. Beware ]

[Harmless]

"Yeah, I think you know something. Like why would you bother with smuggling details? Not that we mind it, of course. Hehe!"

Frederick gives the farmer a wink. "Just do us a favor and pretend you never saw us, mkay? Then nobody gets to know about your little smuggling operation." With that, Frederick walks right past the farmer and heads straight for the Picard farms.

[Megar]

"No 'leader guy' is going to get in my way." Mega shrugs. "I can't afford it." And with that, he activates his armour. "Better get on with it, right?"

[1018peter]

(Holy crap you're pushing these updates out like a speeding train)

"Stealth mission? All the sudden we're going to sneak into a town like some outlaws. Count me out of this." Arma ridicules the idea of sneaking into the town.

"If you will excuse me, I'm going to check out the town." Arma walks toward the commotion around the gate.

[Zunar]

"Welp, if you guys just want to charge in, I guess I might as well join. More people means more power." Zunar follows Arma.
