[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=f7976a]Deeper Than The Sands[/color][/i][/b][/h1][hr][b][color=f7976a]Date:[/color][/b] October 6th, 1924[hr][hr][/center] [b][i][color=f7976a]Notes:[/color][/i][/b] Remember - all directions are from the Docks. So if you want to go from one to the other you would need to head back to the docks and then go to another place. (Two rounds to get from one place to the docks, two rounds to get from docks to next place.) To the left they would find the market and bazaar. Straight ahead they would find the rose gardens and perfume dealers. To the right there was a sign for Tours to Athribis and Leontopolis. [i]Leontopolis was known for it's ancient tiles. Athribis was known as the birth place of Amenhotep and many artifacts in the museum back in Cairo held pieces from many a dig that had happened there, transported on rails by trains funded by a George Jay Gould.[/i] This is also where you will find the main train depot in the area. [color=ed1c24]*Mystery RP, time to step up. Call for rolls, use skills. More you put in the more you get out of the RP. Less you give, the less I will give back. Roll requests can be made in chat or can be left at the bottom of your post for results in the next update. Those that did follow the instructions in the last update were marked down before I started on this update. Those that didn't follow the instructions in the last update are facing LLA's wrath this round.[/color] [hr] [b][i][color=f7976a]Market/Bazaar:[/color][/i][/b] Reddish is able to pick up on the conversation and what the man is saying. Thing is, Josephine, while not speaking the language, figures out what is going on right fast. In the background conversation, Reddish will hear off in the distance some man haggling over a pocket watch some booths off. Where exactly he isn't sure but he heard it. Thing is, the man that is trying to pull the wool over Josephine's and Reddish's eyes is glaring at her as she speaks. And he starts firing off a slew of Arabic towards her, half spitting in the process. This is a little harder to translate but Reddish will pick up things like Josephine needs to learn her place, something about American Harlot, burning in hell, a lot of misogynistic and religious clap trap. While such speak never sits well with LLA, sometimes they can play a part and before Josephine knows it the man lashes out at her. A line of blood appears on her left cheek, deep as he brings his hand back, a small dagger there. "Watch your woman before she gets herself stoned," he warns. He spits down towards her feet as two more come up behind him. "Leave." Well that was a turn but hey, this is a smaller more backwoods city and while used to tourist, the culture is heavily ingrained and such things are very common. So much in fact, others don't even seem to pay it any mind as it happens. [b][i][color=f7976a]Rose Garden/Perfume Dealers:[/color][/i][/b] He nodded slightly and took the barest of amount and mixed them together, dipping a small piece of parchment into it, airing it slightly before holding it over her wrist and placing the lightest dab of the scent against her skin. "Please, tell me if that if what you wish," he said as he motioned for her to take a sniff. He smiled lightly as he stood there listening. The girl was asking a lot of questions and the man had wanted to give her an answer but he seemed a bit distracted. He swatted in front of his face a few times. Then he got this concerned look on his features. His eyes darting around and seeming to follow something in the air and it wasn't love. You see, things like flowers draw all types of admirers. Some more aggressive than the others. Pulling his shawl up he glanced towards her. "I would run," he said as he pulled a piece of netting over his face and then tucked his arms into the folds of his robe. He was used to these type of flare ups around the garden. A bee or two was common but as more and more started flying around. It probably wouldn't have been a big problem if it weren't for the fact that the lady now had a fresh scent on her. Smelling of vanilla and apples. Top and secondary notes. The strongest right now. And even though they would fade quicker they were at their most potent now. Even though there were roses around, this was a new scent that was drawing the bees right to her. He stood very still as the bees began to swarm around the girl. One sting, and then another, then a third and forth. People were scattering and running out of the gardens. LLA really does like screwing with people, and before Mosi can even take a step, she's already been stung half a dozen times and more are moving in. At this rate, she's going to look like a small pox victim if she doesn't move her ass. Hell she might anyways. LLA hasn't decided if she's done yet or not. [b][i][color=f7976a]Tours/Train Depot:[/color][/i][/b] "Both sir," the man said before checking his watch. "Fifteen minutes for either sir," he added before motioning to the two tracks. "Track B will take you to Leontopolis, track A to Athribis." There it was, they could take either train to get to either location. "There will be ticket booths at each location to where you can purchase a ticket for the trip back to here or to the next stop along the track. Both are very interesting, Leontopolis is more crowded and more for a sightseer, Athribis is quieter and more for those that do not mind getting a touch dirty," he finished up with. The trains were running well and on time. As a train just left the crowds were not too bad right then but would grow quickly. LLA's wrath has shown twice already today but for some reason she has opted to not venge a full out wrath here at the train depot and tours. Perhaps she is tired, perhaps she is waiting, shit your guess is as good as mine. I just read the dice, I don't ask why. So there you have it. Faye got out easy this time. Doubt she will next time, especially being around Richard, she might end up dead just being around him, fire is a bitch that way. [b][i][color=f7976a]Train To Athribis:[/color][/i][/b] "Fucking pest," J.C. grumbled but the cat didn't seem to care. Bella could only give the slightest of smirks as she reached over and picked up the small creature. Holding it up so she could look more closely at the feline that had decided that J.C. would make a good place to take a nap. Turning him slightly in her hands this way and that before looking out of the corner of her eyes towards Mahendra. "As long as they fur, when they do not, keep them away from smooth surfaces," she commented in an off handed manner before placing the cat back in J.C.'s lap. Petting the cat as it got comfortable in J.C.'s lap. He huffed slightly but didn't move and gave Bella this look as if to say [i]you owe me one.[/i] "Trouser lice?" J.C. asked as he looked over towards the Lord Major, who would not notice anything off right then, though they were on a train, so everyone was headed in the same direction right then and seated for the journey. J.C. chuckled a little. "Sorry, you just sounding like George is all, he hates them things." His head snapped to the side some as Lauren spoke. "Branding?" That got his attention. Bella quirked a brow. "Please, if you do not mind, do tell. This branding? Who would brand you?" she asked as her hands came away from the cat and rested down in her lap.
