Vulpyre Tales

[Suzumibachii]

Her hand still remained on the hilt. She knew that he wouldn't know she was blind, but to her the smile was wasted she had to trust in the tone of his voice and with her past and training trust wasn't something that happened easily. Her head turned a little as she felt a strange sensation of power from around but she couldn't place it yet. "Whether you mean me harm or not  still remains to be seen."

The shopkeeper smiled as he took the change and handed him the book. "You're welcome and good riddance to this thing."


Back with Syaoran.

Syaoran laughed a little, "Trust me, I won't harm you unless you give me reason to."

[Oedipus Rex]

Incendium smiled behind his mask as he began to walk from the market. He would head home and spend the rest of the evening researching the book and discovering it's secrets. Necromancy was a good business for those who could practice it, and while he prefers his frost magic, there was nothing stopping Incendium from getting a bit of coin selling a few potions here and there.

Alex had been chatting to a baker who he always stopped by for a midday snack when his ears twisted around at the sound of the commotion several stalls down and he watched what seemed like a bizarre parade of unusual characters, even for Konoro City. One stood out though as his distinguished sense for magic picked up necromantic magic on the one inquiring on the amulet while there was another that seemed to have a kinship with the darkness standing off to the side.

Alex bid the baker fair well after getting one of his favorites a glazed twist of dough and walked over to the group. Getting a bit closer Alex picked out more details including the escorting of the forger getting dragged away. Alex made a soft contemplative sound then muttered to himself, "Can I find no supplier who isn't simultaneously doing something so obviously illegal?" Alex shook his head disappointedly and steered clear of the scene in case the apparent forger spotted him. Alex slowed his approach as he spotted the half louporo and waited at a stall watching them. Once he had a better grasp of the group Alex walked up and smiled to the group, his gaze shifted over to the dark character that had come from the alley. then to Syaoran "I don't think we've met before, but I believe I heard you say your name was, Syaoran?" Shifting his gaze over to the cloaked character with her hand on her weapon he smiled warmly. "Abbygale I believe you said? Mines Alex, well met. To all of you as well" Even as Alex stretched his paw like hand to Syaoran he turned with a smile to address the others. It was nothing against them, but Syaoran was a known social person and the girl, Abbygale interested him deeply.

Syaoran reached out his own and shook Alex's hand. "Nice to meet you. I came here to pick up some sleeping medicine for my friend in Hectomatru City. You see he's an inventor and tends to habitually pull all-nighters, so he takes medicine to help him sleep. I already got the meds, but I thought it would be nice to spend some time in my old hometown and then I met all of you people. I'm gonna be headed back to Hectomatru soon, if any of you want to join me, I'm sure Yumoru would love to meet you all." He then walked off, and soon bumped into the masked, hooded man that came out of the bookstore.

[Reality Glitch]

I noticed something odd from my usual passive levels of psychic perception, the entire time she was talking, she didn't move her eyes, not even to look at us.  I stepped forward and moved my hand back and forth a foot in front of her face. The word odd probably slipped my lips w/o my conscious notice.

[Oedipus Rex]

Incendium looked at the foux who had so carelessly bumped into him and caused him to drop his book. He bends over and picks it up before looking at the man. "What is it with you people and bumping into each other" He says disdainfully.

[Cef]

Cef was only halfway up the ladder when he felt a sudden change in magic. "That feeling... The book must be around here somewhere." He said while making his way towards it's source. There stood a group at least four people. "The one in the mask should be human by looking at the shape of his mask. But is he... Nah why would he come here anyway" Cef walked towards them and placed.a hand on the human's shoulder. "That book. Where.did you get it? From.what I know it's owners are dead. Or the living dead"

[fireheart126]

Syaoran recovered for a second and apologized, "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." He then noticed the guy who just showed up. "Hey, I remember you. You were there when I apprehended that con artist. We never did introduce ourselves, I'm Syaoran, and you are?" He held out his hand as a formality.

[Oedipus Rex]

"I am Incendium." The mage says before turning to the scarfed man. "You stink of old flesh boy, and I know not of the book's owners, sorry."

[Cef]

"Cefirul. Or Cef. Whichever you prefer." Cef said and looked at the hand. "How can me showing him a part of me make this stranger when I've asked about the book." Cef thought and shook it with his skeletal arm, interested in looking at his reaction. He then looks at Incendium. "Very well then, it seems like you chose to take a chance with the book. Good luck"

[Oedipus Rex]

Incendium looks at the man before calling out to him. "Wait," he says "what do you know of this book?"

[fireheart126]

Syaoran was a little shocked at the skeletal hand. "What happened? That doesn't look good?" He thought about it for a moment, "You must be a result of necromancy. You're not the first one I've met either, though most of the ones I have didn't show the amount of intelligence you do."

[Cef]

Cef looked at incendium. "Not much. Just the fact that most people who tried to transfer it's ownership at the wrong time turn up dead." He finished and turned to syaoran "And yes I'm a product of necromancy, thought I pride myself in being special unlike the ones you call zombies"

[fireheart126]

Syaoran shrugged, "Hey, that's perfectly fine, if not the best public topic. Anyways I have to get this medicine over to my friend in Hectomatru City. If any of you guys want to follow me, that's perfectly fine." He continued on his way out the city.
