" Time's up old man. " The final call came from the captain at the factory's entrance.

Saldrin's heart was racing in a way he hadn't experienced for years. It weakened his old body, made him feel faint, made it hard to think straight. He had to go distract the captain somehow so the others could ...

Well maybe you'll get lucky and find a cool job like mine. Teachers are taken from a really bad crop of people. I mean, as the saying goes: "Those who can't do, teach." I wanted to teach for a long time and still do, so there you go.

The old man's glassy eyes widened at the sound of the front door being busted open, followed by a call to surrender in a familiar voice. He looked over in the direction of the sound, but there were pipes and machinery in the way, blocking his view of the captain. His heart sank. What an old fool he ...

Saldrin listened to Myx with obvious skepticism. It was possible, but unlikely, that the man had actually had the random good fortune of hearing about and then finding the meeting. An entire city of places to be, and he expected Saldrin to believe that he had found this one?

No, he didn't like the ...

(( Whoever has something to say just post right away. Remember there is no posting order, just respond when you can. Sorry if I've been slow. ))

Saldrin spun around to look at the new man who had entered so abruptly. It was as if, of all the sudden entrances thus far, his had startled the old man ...

(( Alas pagusel has asked me to skip her for personal reasons. ))

Saldrin's eyes widened when he heard Asiona's words. His mind was already lost when she mentioned the food and the live animals, no longer listening to her as her story came out in a rush. A demon? The girl had summoned a demon here ...

(( well dont' I have egg on my face? just assume he said it before she got up. My apologies for the rushed post. ))

"So sorry my skittish friend," the old man said to Pagusel, "sometimes I forget myself. But worry not, this place is quite secretive. I don't see how our beloved judges would know to ...

"As you should be, Myrriah." Said Saldrin. "It's not polite to eavesdrop on people. Not to mention that this is no place for a girl to be alone at night. I should think your parents would be quite concerned to have their little girl wandering around in this part of town."

He clicked his tongue and ...

(( Dargoth unless I read your previous post wrong, didn't you already see Myr when you were in your rat form? You might want to go back and edit that. ))

Saldrin too heard the girl's gasp from behind a crate and looked her way. The poor young thing had been hiding there all along, and seeing a ...

Obviously Saldrin noticed the transformation of a rat into a man when it happened right in front of him. He was all smiles about it, and didn't seem the least bit startled by the unexpected entrance. Mages were often odd and eccentric, and had a habit of pulling out their tricks in new and ...

The old man sat and waited, calmly oblivious to the others who were watching him. Though he had a wide variety of magical talents, he was no elf, and his age severely dulled his senses. The only thing that had thankfully remained spared was his keen eyesight.

He thought heard some clicking, off in ...

It can also be added to the beginning, as in:

Bitch, don't be talkin about my momma that way.

But dorcas knows I love her, and I talk to her on yahoo frequently, which is why you don't have to worry about her feelings. She'd probably have my balls if I actually pissed her off anyway.

Saldrin entered the old textile factory with his wits about him. The place hadn't been in use for the past five years but one never knew who might be lurking about. Anything from an innocent, stray homeless man to a voracious demon with a thirst for human blood could have been waiting there for him ...
