The residential areas are tall building meant to house a lot of families at once. Think of them as tall apartment buildings. They are usually very densely put near each other in Faladon and built up high so they can maximize residency while minimizing size. The case was closed too

You open the case easy enough with a click. Inside of the case appears to be some papers which look like they pertained to the business the man was working with. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just some finance info and order numbers. There's also a note which you assume to be written by his significant other in there. Lastly in there is a device that appears to be keeping time much like a watch but with a bit more intriciacies to it such as a countdown to the 7th day in Faladon. Each 7th day is like a sabbath day in Faladon which is cultivated by the fights in the arena It's made out of a blend of synth metal and something else from what you can tell. Two shins also drop from the case as you scrounge through it.

Arret & Halal

Well name your price yes yes. A baby like this shall not go underpaid. Hmm yes yes 12 shins ought to do it yes?

Oliver quickly turns and hmms a weird impatient tone as he hears halal asking their question.

"My babies are not damaged, more or less tinkered with. Just dont touch my babies the wrong way or call them names and my children do marvelous things. Take Ol' Bally here for example. Zaps em up real quick but if you look at him the wrong way he will zap you just as quick yes yes"

Oliver turns back to Arret now and flicks off his layers of spectacles.

"So 12 shins yes yes?"

"meh" says Fay and with another snap the workers scurry away.

"I know your type. They're not good for business thats for sure. So whats a weapon such as yourself doing around town in Faladon? Im sure you havent come for the sunlight havent you?" She is very good at multitasking from what you can tell because as she is making conversation with you she is signing a form brought up by another worker and beginning to work on a pile of swords that need to be sharpened on a whetstone.

Introducing Thom

You stand at the desk of your guard captain Lev'an Marshall. He is going through what appears to be legal paperwork and has a bag near his desk.

"Unbelievable!" He slams his hands on the table.

"We hire this guy for a job and he cant keep himself out of pubs and out of trouble for more than hour. With one of our employees being dropped from this mission mayor Bauxtapau has required me to fill the hole with yet another guard under my command. I know you weren't my first choice Thom but this seems like its perfect for you."

He gives you a confident smile before addressing the paperwork at hand.

"Basically your job is to go down into the depths with the rest of the 2nd search party and find out what's going on down there and why all of our people are going missing in there. You're going to be under the command of Faladon Mining Company for however long they may need you. The first thing it seems theyre askng for is to get the power situation down there repaired so that we can continue on since communications and most shaft systems are down."

He tosses a bag to you, in it is 10 shins and a badge.

"Youre going to need that badge and think of the shins as an advance payment. You'll get a lot more down the road if everything goes smoothly. The rest of the search party should be back here in a couple of hours so in the meantime you are dismissed"

The guard furiously writes down the information you give him. He seems to look at it for a bit and recall something hes seen before by the expression on his face but it seems as though it's a losing battle

"It doesnt match any reports we've gotten so far. Possibly a new criminal group. You said you're going down there in a couple of hours? If you see them we'd like them brought back alive if you're able to."

"As for the badge just go back up north from where you came from. Explain the situation to the captain and he will sort it out. Take it slow though, that was a nasty blow to your head"

You begin to walk away from the buildings and start to head on North hoping you might find a food stand of some sort before heading to the geologist. You cross a stand where an old man is selling bread. He looks up at you with eyes that are sunken in with age and squinty.

"My bread was made just this morning! Here try a piece! he says with a smile as he pulls off a piece of one of his open loaves and hands it to you.

With the mans goods being taken you start to read the note. The note is a bit lovey dovey in its nature but the lady, which you presume to be the wife or significant other is reminding him to pick up some bread on his way home and that she left some shins in the case for him to get some. You sit in the alley whistling to yourself for the duration of this.

From here you may choose to go back and wait until the rest of the party is finished or you may still travel around town

Arret & Halal

"Voice activation? no no. Think less science and more of friend. Technology is friend and if you are not friends with technology then technology hurts you very much yes yes"

Oliver makes various hums and oos as he examines the Still Field belt he had purchased from Arret. A machine rolls upfront and takes the belt from Oliver and sends it to the back room to be worked on. It seemed like a trivial piece of equipment but the intelligence of the craft to know to come out and take the device and then put it in the back for tinkering is a bit appalling to you both..


"mmph help?! no no I have no need for help. I must work with my new friend here. Much thanks for the beauty" he says as he smiles to Arret and Halal before retreating into the back room.

As you examine the device you realize that it is purely meant for keeping time. The design on it suggests it depicts the time of day by the color on the watch. Being in between afternoon and evening the clock has a deep bluish color to it. On the bottom is a rotating piece of metal that is currently on "4th day". Periodically there is a loud obnoxious click to it that suggests it may be partially broken though it seems as though that time is still being kept properly on the device.

Reading social reactions, emotions, and features will be counted as a social roll. For this case it would be moot either way due to the roll

She doesnt seem to make any sort of special reaction and in your mind is acting 100% normal.

"Its a shame so many people hae been lost down there. I know when its time to call it as you see it and if you ask me them missing folk are sure as dead down there. They havent even been sending any food rations down there on the chance they are surviving. Makes me lucky I have a job like this sometimes"

There is a loud crash into the back and you can hear the sounds of swords falling. Hearing this Fay puts her hand on her face and bellows out "YOU IDIOTS DONT DAMAGE THE BLADES" and she begins storming to the back but before she goes out of sight she mentions to you "Hey by the way I know you're not going down there alone. Tell your friends to stop by if they are looking for the finest selection of weapons Faladon has to offer" before retreating to the back to scold the workers.

Arret & Halal you are free to continue dialogue and determine what you are going to do next

The old man smiles but holds up 4 fingers to show you his desired price for the goods. The bread has a honey-like taste to it thats actually rather delicious to you as you eat it.

"Four of them friend and the bread is yours" he says as another customer begins to purchase some bread from him. From the speed of the transaction and the smiles it looks like he has some recurring customers.

Thom
Most prices yes but I will change them as I see fit

As you enter the general store and give your order an employee brings up the requested goods. 4 Torches that are all made in rather the same fashion without any remarkable differences in them. The rations are brought next and are dried pieces of meat. They look well preserved and should be filling once consumed.

"That'll be 6 shins sir" says the clerk as she smiles a bit impatiently at you.

As you trudge through town you begin to ask some passerby's where you could find anything out about them. You are told that there is a memorial set up for the lost near the arena. After about 20 minutes of walking you eventually find the memorial for the lost. A trio of faladus baubles is placed at the top of the memorial site and its calming hum soothes you tothe point of nearly no emotion except for calmness and happiness. From there is a couple of gifts and trinkets left by the lost people's families. Some are around grieving but the rest stop by just to offer condolence to the families or to leave a gift.

Your eyes begin to close and you manage to fall asleep, intending on being a fresh as possible for when you are needed in a couple of hours. Your dreams of curvy ladies subside as you sleep and begin to rest your eyes.

You may wait indefinitely until the rest of the group or wake up whenever you want to. The choice is yours
