[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.

Two guards, if that is what you could call them, were posted by the gangplank and blocking entrance to anyone that came over. They both looked over towards Reddish oddly as he came over with Josephine. They listened. And seemed to understand. "Tickets please," one of them asked. Once those were handed over, they were told to wait as one of the men had to leave to speak with the captain and get clearance to enter the boat. If was up to him and not the two men standing their station. It was the best they could do for now. Pointing to a crate, the one that was left behind suggested that Josephine take a seat until the Captain could be spoken to. Thankfully it wouldn't be long as the man that had left with their tickets came back, with the Captain personally. Seeing Josephine he nodded. "Yes, I will take her to our infirmary, you stay here," the Captain said as he held out the tickets to hand back over to Reddish. "Are you alright to walk miss?" he asked her as he stood on the docks, waiting for an answer. [b][i][color=f7976a]Rose Garden/Perfume Dealers:[/color][/i][/b] Well, isn't this fun. LLA still hasn't decided if Mosi will die today or if she will live but she is giving the woman a sporting chance. Let's check in. Seems the woman will manage to get out of the gardens today alive but will she survive this? Only time will tell. Thing is, with bees. They don't just turn around and give up. While Bees in America tend to be less aggressive, those in Africa are the things of horror stories. They are aggressive, will follow their victims up to two miles, and will get more of the colony together for the chase. Even as Mosi exits the Rose Garden, she is pursued and stung. People making a wide birth from her to try to stay out of the way and rushing off to get away from any stragglers. [b][i][color=f7976a]Train to Athribis:[/color][/i][/b] Over at the Train Depot and Tours, the man bid them good day and the train started loading up. It was rather empty compared to the earlier trains but that was to be expected. It was a nice set up, decent enough for a short trip. A middle isle separated two seats on each side in rows that filled the train car. There was plenty of seating to chose from for the two now boarding, only a few seats here and there were taken. They would pretty much have their choice of where they wanted to sit during this short little trip to the next stop. There was an announcement over the com saying in both the local language and English that they would be departing shortly. [b][i][color=f7976a]Athribis:[/color][/i][/b] J.C. chuckled over at the Lord Major. "Bully indeed," he said with a grin. Belladonna had her attention over at the others, a brow perking as she looked over towards Gene and she nodded towards the woman. A slight grin pulling at the corner of her mouth. As the train pulled a stop, J.C. shifted in his chair and pushed the cat down. "Sorry fluffy, time to go," he said as she cat looked up at him and yawned deeply before padding off. Standing up, he held his hand out for Belladonna. Her long fingers laying into his hand and rising from her spot as the doors were opened and their arrival was announced. "Yes, I would suggest we stay close. Never know what things could happen when we split up," she said as she waited for a path to clear enough for her to move into the isle and head off the train, J.C. following close behind her. Standing outside of the train, Belladonna moved out of the way for the other passengers and glanced around. There was a person offering tours of the location, to which she gave a sideways glance. "Tourist trap or set off for something more," she said, pausing slightly before continuing, "meaningful?" J.C. smirked a bit. "Oh ya know where I would rather be," J.C. laughed as he turned around and waited for the others to join them. Keeping an eye out towards the train and waiving the others over as he spotted them. He agreed with Belladonna, it was better for them to stick together right then. He had seen one to many little trips go badly because people split up. It was usually best to stick together, especially with the unknown. "So what do you make of all this?" he asked her. "More than I care to," she said quietly as J.C. laced an arm around Bella, giving her a knowing nod.
