[GM]
Edig shrugs.  "No one around 'ere like that, sir." he replies.  "Once in
a while, one'll come from England way."

only

> [Amanda Connors]
> At first, she doesn't even register that Talas is speaking to her.  
> She instead wonders why nobody shooed the boy away and closed the

> Then she noticed the elven man looking at her.  "Huh? What, me?  Did

> Amanda as she stands and puts the PDA away.  "Sure.  I did say I was

> Still amused, she sets her food down and moves to the door.  "I 
> haven't heard anyone say that since Jimmy Dillon in the 7th grade.  
> Never did go to that dance with him."  Glancing to Bongo she adds;  
> "He don't know me vewy well, do he?"
> [/Amanda Connors]

[Bongo]
Bongo laughs.  "Well, you're a pretty damn handy person to have around,
lady or not!"  Bongo gathers up the metal box and the journal and packs
it with the rest of his stuff and follows Kyle and Amanda out the door.
[/Bongo]

[GM]
Edig runs after Kyle, while Phaeton grabs a few more bites of food and 
falls in behind Bongo.  Lena looks to Arden.  "Coming, silly?" she asks,
giving him a nudge with her elbow.
[/GM]

> [Kyle]
> Kyle goes for a walk around the town using his military training to 
> learn what he can of this area, paying particular attention to 
> anything that might have something to do with our current predicament.
> [/Kyle]

[GM]
Kyle's trained eyes dart up and down the road.  It's now a busy morning,
the shops are open, market stalls erected, and everything from potions
to fruit are on sale.  Kyle looks back down the road towards the harbor
and the O'Hare and Sons weapons shop.  He notices that the sign on the door says "Closed".  It appears that their friend Griz has decided to take off early... very early.  It's only about 10 o'clock in the morning!
[/GM]

OOC: I'm going to assume that the rest of you follow Kyle, Amanda and Bongo
out the door.
