Slums of the city (come for the RP, stay for Shaula and Pawn arguing over RTPNSs)

>[Very well]<

*PI starts walking*

PS moves slightly ahead, feeling a bit miffed about the leadership comment from earlier and wanting to show who the leader in this team is.

*AD snaps out of his vacant boggling to catch up with the others.*

((This post is assuming that Slick and Co don't follow us, if they do I'll retcon it))

*Once they moved far enough away from the others, so that they won't be heard by them, PI talks to PS*

>[You are upset about that "leader" comment she made, aren't you?]<

>[Just to be clear, I am very well aware that you are our leader and I'd never thInk about tryIng to usurP you]<

>[There are some good reasons why you are our leader and I don't thInk anyone of us Isn't aware of that]<

>[Though It mIght be good If she's underestImatIng you]<

>[It can't hurt If they don't know everythIng about us]<

Scofflaw looks to PI.
(Yeah.... GueSS So. Better to have any advantage that we can get.>

*slick watches them go*

-{---< i don' trus' 'em 3<

-{---< wadya say we don' follow 'em an' kick 'em ou' ourselves? 3<

< Moments ago you wanted to find out what they were up to. And do you even know how to open a shadow portal to another world? >

*slick grumbles annoyed*

-{---< alrigh' fine well wha' do we do know? i'm ge''in' bored now we aren' chasing them idio's 3<

*sparks a small shadow flame and throws it to a rat burning it to a crisp*

< They've gone to Sleuthfall Offices, in case you still want to follow them around. >

-{---< fuck i' i'm 'ungry le's go find somewhere ta grab some'in' ta ea' an' 'ead over ta their offices af'er 3<

*suddenly a group of rowdy prospitians and dersites walk into the bar that die and itchy are in, die over hears them talking about having just finished a job to build more slum houses and he suddenly perks up*

itchy! 6i6 you hear that? we coul6 try to employ those carapaces to help rebuil6 the mansion! 6on't you see? this is my chance to make myself useful again! i 6on't nee6 my 6oll to be useful! i'll show that 6ice who's the real number six aroun6 here! come on!

*he gets up quickly moving towards the group leaving itchy, and his drink, behind*

*Itchy quickly catches up to Die and makes it to the carapaces first*

HEY, 1 couldn't help overhear1ng that you bu1ld stuff, and 1 just happen to have a mans1on 1n need of rebu1ld1ng!

< Well, the closest place with decent food is near the center of town. >

*die wanders up grumbling something about itchy being a prick*

'so you want us to rebuild a mansion huh? that'd take a lot of money and time to do it'

--------

-{---< ok le's go 'en 3<

((double post sorry))

*the felt members and the contractors discuss late into the night*

*once a deal is struck and a time to meet up with the rest of the felt the contractors disperse*

well itchy i 6o believe that this will make the rest of thr gang see how useful i am without my 6oll
lets hea6 back to the temporary hi6eout

Yeah, let's go!

*runs off to the hideout, getting there first as always*

HEY GUYS! Guess who found a way to get the mans1on f1xed!

((Oh, I think the staircase to Nep's room should be fairly obvious now, so feel free to acknowledge it. I'll paste this in the mansion thread as well))

((maybe post it in the main thread as well, cause you know thats where most important things go))

Hmm, alrigh7, le7s see...

((double post prevention boop))

you return to your home and search behind a loose floorboard and find an old, beat up scrapbook

you flick through, smiling as you remember past friends and relationships
