Kathi, feel free to just have Aria hang around long enough for them to stash the stuff then go after the others again. I know I can't wait to get stuck into circus funtimes so I don't want to keep you away from it either. Just felt it made sense for them to ask her for help.

He didn't! Lucien!!!

Moira rolled her eyes, while Syed looked borderline betrayed. Of course, Lucien had always been a much more spontanious sort - the sort who would deliberately do things at times just to get a reaction. But still! He could have waited another minute!

Soon several of the others had left too, Estelle even stashing her own equipment. Others had indeed handed their equipment over, and Syed soon had to pass most of it over to Moira before it got too much for him.

Well... they sure were going ahead.

Moira looked up to the tree where Estelle had stashed her stuff. Well, it was pretty well hidden. She doubted the tree would be big enough to hide her stuff though - her greatsword was around five foot long, and unlike their leader her armor was much more expansive.

Syed meanwhile was glancing around, his mind working ten to the dozen as thoughts of tactics and plausability flashed through his brain. Tactically, it would be best to spread everyone's stuff out, to vary the way they are hidden so that if one set is found then they still wouldn't find the others. And to keep it in his range, so he could pull it over the fence should they need it.

But that wasn't really plausable in their timeframe. There was however a particularly dense patch of undergrowth, shrubbery and a few trees a little way around the perimiter, a short distance from the fence. That was probably their best bet. It looked too dense for someone to even walk through, let alone search for anything.

"Aria?" Syed asked. "Mind helping us a minute? Just to help us keep out of sight, while we stash everything?"

"Yeah, shouldn't be long," Moira nodded. "Better not be long. Fuck if I'm missing out."

And with that they set off.

Talk about a niece obsession. It was bordering on creepy if anything, although this bloke seemed a bit... odd. In general. He was probably harmless. Probably.

Moira had continued to walk ahead grumpily, but both her and Syed were still listening in to the conversation. It was difficult not to really, they were all a loud bunch. And at this point they wouldn't have it any other way. Syed in particular was deep in thought. So they wouldn't let a Guilder in at all. Weapons were one thing, and quite understandable at that, but Guilders?

Suspicious! That was actually more suspicious than anything Lady had said at the Guild. If they weren't letting Guilders in, then they had to be hiding something. Doubled up with whatever happened between this place's owners and Amy... they definately had to investigate now.

"Okaaaay... here we are... so what now? Guys? Guys? Guys?"

Moira had stopped at this point. She didn't say a word, but her eyes were fixed on the girl at the gates. Shit, so this place was fenced off? She didn't know, the only events she went to tended to charge at the stalls rather than the gates. She looked back to Syed.

Was letting Aria try and disguise them all really a good idea?

Syed cringed. He watched the girl for a moment warily, trying to judge if she was looking in their direction, before reaching down and unbuckling his belt. He proceeded to remove his robes, leaving him in his usual black undershirt, trousers and boots. "How about you guys go ahead and Moira and I find somewhere to stash any bigger things that might get us in trouble?" He suggested as he fiddled with his pendant nervously. His eyes flicked from Estelle to Lute, the two other sword wielders who might possibly object to the idea much like Moira initially did. "We'll go in after you guys. That way we'll be able to explore in there freely, hopefully."

Moira folded her arms with a scowl. She hated the idea - in fact she despised it. But it wasn't like they could sneak in - and even if they did, they'd get rumbled pretty much immediately. "Fuck this... if we have to then I'll do it..." she caved.

"You ain't seriously... urgh!" Moira exclaimed as Trixie accepted Eric's request with little thought. This guy seemed dodgy as hell! He pissed the shit outta her already!

Syed said nothing, although as usual he had difficulty hiding the clearly dubious expression on his face. He was bothered by how hard Eric was to read, in terms of body-language. His words didn't match it at all. Even a liar will try and match them up, but this guy just... didn't. It confused the hell out of him and he had no real idea what to do. Other than introduce himself. Although the man seemed to have no real interest in that either, since he talked over Lute.

"I ain't stashing my shit behind some tree where any old fucker could find it," Moira said suddenly in response to Lute, folding her arms. "No fucking way. You guys know what happened last time. I ain't waking up all drugged up in some basement again."

She turned, and began to carry on walking. It seemed this was something she was really unwilling to budge on.

"If they're dodgy," Syed reminded her. "It's too late anyway," he shrugged. "It's not just our weapons, it's our outfits too. Some of us have got armor on, some of us are pretty obviously dressed as magic users. They'll see through it even if we hide the weapons."

It was a shame they had left the Guild already, they could have actually changed and stored their stuff there.

"We can just tell them we're travelling Guilders, right? I mean, it's true. They needn't know we've got any other reason to be there other than having seen the flyer and come to have a break," he shrugged towards Xan, who by now was the one with the sheet of paper.

He then looked back to Eric. Ohhhh, this was really bothering him now the man had pointed it out. He fidgeted. "Sy," he said quickly, before he turned back again to catch up with Moira.

While someone else had received the flier, Syed took advantage of his height to peer over them as they walked and look at it as well. He didn't pay much attention to it before, and he wanted to find out as much as possible before they got there. Oh, so it had a bit of a carnival type of thing around it? He was somewhat curious to see that aspect of it for purely self-centred, nostalgia fueled reasons. If they had the opportunity, of course.

Moira put her hands behind her head. She wasn't entirely suprised to find out Amy had a bad history with someone - she was a little spiky in demeanour. Like a cactus. Although... "I wonder what happened to piss her off so much..." she muttered to herself. Well whatever. Sure, she thought Amy was missing out on an opportunity here, but hell it wasn't like they were all joined at the hip. After all Marcus dissapeared on his own all the time.

"Who dat smelly guy? He's been following us for like the last ten minutes."

"What?!" Moira exclaimed, spinning around. And yeah... there he was. With that damned drink still. Was he some kind of stalker? Just a wierdo? She frowned.

"Oi!" she bellowed, putting her hands on her hips. "Why you stalkin' us? What do you want?"

Syed cringed at how rude her words were. While it wasn't particularly odd for someone who was seemingly new to the village - Lady said she had never seen him before after all - following them, it was a little odd for him to not say a word to anyone. Not even the secretary. Not that it wasn't explainable or anything, although it did make the mage a little wary. Maybe he just really needed the toilet. It did sound like quite the ordeal in there earlier. He was still quite eager to keep his distance as a result.

"Are you lost?" he asked in a much friendlier tone. "Because I'm not sure if we're the best people to ask, we're not from around here."

If he needed directions he would probably have better luck back in the village... but judging by the sounds that were beginning to be carried in the light breeze, they were probably getting closer to the circus at this point.

Moira gave nothing more than a simple nod as she took the photo. She knew how important these things were. She still had her own son's photo in her pocket, abeit folded and worn to the point she was having to apply tape to keep the thing in one piece. "Bloody hell he's got your smile ain't he?"

Syed peered over her shoulder. He cocked his head to one side in thought. "Is it me... or does he look a little familiar somehow?" Not that he could think from where.

Moira didn't even bother to respond to that. She didn't recognise him, she knew that. She shoved the photo in her pocket with the other.

"The circus owners and I... We just have a bad history. That's all. You guys go ahead with your investigation. I'll stay here with the secretary."

"Amy, come on, you can't stay here! You gotta come with us. Who else is gonna heal our boo-boos?"

Bad history? Moira frowned, while Syed shot a concerned look towards the others. As grumpy as Amy was sometimes, she had definately been acting off ever since they got here. Still, they knew better than to ask at this point.

"We're only checking the place out," Syed ventured, putting a hand to his elbow. "I mean I know things do tend to go a bit wrong for us with this sort of thing, but we'll just be careful." He smiled reassuringly. "I think it should be fine if you stay if you want to, personally."

Moira shook her head. "Nah, I reckon you should come. See, before? You didn't have us there. If they try to start any shit we'll just punch 'em for you." She strode over to the bar, at this point outright ignoring the man. "We're your mates, we've got your back. Nothin' better than showing some cock you don't like that you're doing pretty well."
