Scorpio sighed. "Seems everybody's rushing nowadays, even in the evenings." He was hoping to share with the stranger his love of music, how he came to know this human friend years ago who taught him the fiddle.

"Well, another day, another meal," thought Scorpio to himself. "For now, I guess I'll give myself some rest." And he went to a dark corner, retracted his pincers, and went to sleep.

OOC: Im just waiting to see if anyone else wants to write themselves into the story at this point. Will post in another day or so. Thanks for your patience

As the first lights of sunrise start to hit the town, Shadow extracts himself from a house window. He then makes his way to the tavern and gets ready to meet his friend.

They spent all night in Joram's room discussing the plans of the heist. there was so much that could go wrong. It was going to be risky, but the payoff would be worth it. Besides if anyone could pull it off, Joram thought he could. There was a lot to do in town for the next few days, the nobles would be getting ready for the wedding, and he would be getting ready for the theiving. Joram smiled as he walked out the door of the inn, and a group of nobles with fat purses passsed him. It was going to be a good day.
*********************
Little did Joram know that somone else watched him from the shadows off the alley across the street. The figure was cloaked all in black and seemed to fade into shadows, even where there wasn't any. He followed Joram as Joram went about his business. he watched as Joram relieved a noble of the weight of his heavy purse, and he watched as Joram went into a tavern and had a few mugs of ale. He had been following Joram for several days waiting for his chance to strike. He was very patient, which was required in his line of work, but he was exceedingly patient beyond that, and that made his exceptionally good at his line of work, the best in the business in fact. . .

OOC: sorry about the long delay i was hoping more people would join but alas it is not so :( ohh well we have a good group of players, i just have to play a few more characters than what i originally intended, but that should't be a problem. the wedding is in lets say 3 days, let make the most of them :D

In the streets near the tavern, Scorpio was again playing that melancholy rhapsody on his fiddle, the same bronze dish next to him and the same sign hanging from his sting above his head... [img]graemlins/musicboohoo.gif[/img]

Shadow sits on the roof of a tavern and watches the wedding preperations with great interest, he then watches the guard barracks and the place where the presents are going to be kept. "This will be an interesting venture."
