While she hadn't been expecting there to be that many people in the school, especially students who she suspected were always more then eager to go home, Amelia was surprised that the building was still open to the general public at this hour. Since this was really the first time she had been in a school, this was something she was rather eager to do and the lack of people made it that much easier. Entering a classroom at random, she would walk around the desks, running her hand along their surfaces as she observed the room. It was simpler and less grandiose then she had imagined but she was fine with this.

After getting her fill of being in the classroom, she would begin wondering the building at random, letting Litwick out and rest on her head, the little candle-like pokemon lighting the flame on it's head using minute amount of life force from the people and pokemon around it, except for Amelia's of course.

Action

Wonder the school, enjoying a first time experience. Maybe come across someone?

In the end, her search turned up little more then two more instances of people going missing after doing less then pleasant things to Trina. In this case, it was a beggar and a charlatan, one who had been arrested then vanished while another had simply done so without any sign of other forces at work. Everyone else just reinforced that the bartender had said to her.

With her investigation done, she found a place to sit down and consider her options. The first was to go to Trina and see about the request, see if things were directly on the up and up. The second option was to check the prison for the beggar who had been jailed and vanished. However, it seemed as if the guards knew nothing of said beggar, if what the girl had told her was true. But there was a chance someone from the prison remembered them. Worse case, no one did or someone was hiding some and she would have to break in. She didn't fancy this option, as she had no skills in breaking into places, as she was no rogue. The third option was to investigate the charlatan who had vanished. This might be the easier option compared to the beggar, unless the home of the charlatan was locked. Also, time was a factor, as if too much time had passed, most of the evidence was either gone or in no condition to tell her much.

After several minutes of thought, she got up and made her way to Trina's shop. It was by far the easiest option and she could pursue the other two after she had checked out the details of the job. With that in mind, she made her way to the town center and examined Trina's Trinkets from the outside before slowly entering the store and looking around at it's interior to see what kind of wares it sold and if it's owner was anywhere in sight.

Investigation

Elaranna frowned as the dragonborn spoke to her about the shopkeeper. It wasn't much to go on, just word of mouth and the possibility of superstition. But the barkeep seemed to be telling her as much as he knew and nothing less, so she would push those thoughts aside until after breakfast, which she was still waiting for. So she gave the barkeep a kind smile before sitting back in her chair and sipping her water while she waited for her clam chowder.

Once she finally got and finished her meal, likely with a second glass of water, Elaranna would pay her bill before heading out. She didn't head straight for Trina's Trinkets though. She instead decided to ask around town to find about as much about this shopkeeper as possible and possibly learn some facts about these rumors to dispel any false information in them. She would try to be discrete though, since she got the feeling most people would be unwilling to talk about this topic openly.

Okay, may I skip to after breakfast then? Don't want to move ahead of what you want me to.

Can I roll insight to see if the bartender is holding anything back?

Elaranna nodded in thanks when she got the directions to the shop she was going to be visiting in concerns to the job. However, at the bartender's comments on the owner of said shop, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. So, the woman who owned the shop was learned and beautiful but seemed to have something off about her. Her curiosity growing, Elaranna leaned forward.
"So, she's beautiful and knowledgeable but also creepy? What do you mean? What has she done to unsettle you and what kind of rumors are being spread about her?" She asked, keeping her voice in a low whisper so no one else could hear, incase the dragonborn was not comfortable speaking about this subject out loud.

Elaranna frowned as she saw that there was only one job available that might be to her talents. It was a simple pet retrieval job, but for a highly unusual one. She was aware of monkeys and how hard they could be to catch. Since the temple had been in the middle of the jungle, monkeys coming around to grab food or simply watch was not unheard of. Given how agile monkeys were and with their ability to climb, it made sense that the reward might be a bit high. With that in mind, she took the paper with the job details on it and returned to her seat at the bar.
"Excuse me, bartender. Do you know anything about this shop? It's location in the town square and maybe a bit about it's owner?" She asked, showing him the paper. She knew from her journeys with her Master, it was important to gather information, especially about the person requesting the job.
