Heinrich looks over at Adams cigar..
"You got one for me as well?"
Meanwhile Lagertha had started to munch a part of the breakfast she had taken with her, neither of them seemed too put off by the rain..

Adams looks over at Heinrich dubiously.
"Thaes thaengs daesnae come cheap ya knae."
However he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the tin, flapping open the lid with one hand.
"Jes den expect aneth'r."

Tson
Heinrich nods and takes one..
"Thanks."
He proceeds to snap his fingers, a small flame apearing on the index finger, with which he lights it.
Letting out a long puff he starts making smoke rings...

Tson

"Bae gallae ye daesnae use a match?"
Adam is staring at Heinrich's fingers.
"Happen ye'll save a faertune oan bills thaer."

RedAndCosmoteer
"I'sn Dasnae knae, and I'sn dasnae care, nae gut in befaer I'sn puts a hole en ye."

~~Only this event for today.~~

"Now, what would you think happen if I pulled the trigger and waved this weapon around, hm?"

RedAndCosmoteer

Tson (I love how he doesn't really think she's being serious. I wonder how I could prove that I could destroy them at will... 🤔)

boombox

Tson
"Comes in handy in a lotta situations, thats true."
He smirks before blowing another three smoke rings, layering them through each other and linkinh them to a chain drifting through the rain..

Tson

RedAndCosmoteer
(He knows she is being serious.)

RedAndCosmoteer

Tson
(Oh, really? 🤔 ~~brb throwing a grenade~~)

The two walk in... However they will not surrender their weapons.

Tson

RedAndCosmoteer
Inside the gate they find the man that was on the wall walking down a set of wooden stairs toward them, shouldering his musket, he looks them up and down.
"Ye's look pretty grubby fer sky paeple, been lying in thae grass haev yae?"
He straightens up, he is truly a giant of a man, and stands head and shoulders above the others, his hair is red, and he has a short, bushy red beard.
"Nae thun, Mae name's Jonas, whut bae yurs?"

boombox
He raises an eyebrow.
"Nae thut's jest shaen' off"
Adam inhales on his own Cigar, then exhales, the smoke making a rather uncouth shape in the air, he grins.
"I'sn laerned how tae dae that'n whun I wus a lad, they'n warr simpler times."

Fort_Master_Gustav
"I know that, you are a dog, and dogs are nice."
The mother looks rather flustered.
"Now dear he is a man, not a dog."
"But he looks like a-"
Suddenly Jem cuts in.
"Can anyone else smell that?"
He is sniffing visibly, and looks as if he can smell an unpleasant odour, he looks at the ambassador.
"Is that you?"
It is not, however the Ambassador himself can smell something too now, a sickly smell, that of decay...

Fort_Master_Gustav

Tson
"No darling, I'm a psychic, though there's hardly any difference. Don't worry though, I'm not a monster, I won't hurt you."

boombox

Tson
Heinrich grins..
"Now thats what I call skill, makin smoke dicks while driving a carriage."
meanwhile Lagertha thinks about how this probably is the closest you can get to medieval shitposting..

Heinrich and Lagertha had both already noticed the smile, and knowing that their weapons were loaded from the last attack, they lied in wait..

While the man is giant, the two were undeterred, for they knew that they could probably match the man's strength and the strengths of all the other people in the town. They were, after all, genetically engineered over a period of four hundred years, some against their will however the results are undeniable...

The young woman walks up to Jonas, straight-faced, she didn't flinch and she and displayed no hints of fear at all, in fact, she even felt confident however she also knew that she shouldn't blind herself, there is are very real threats in the room.

"I am Alara. The man standing next to me is Ilter... I do not recommend trying to overpower us. It is a bad idea."

Fort_Master_Gustav

Tson
"I'm not really a dog, but I don't blame you for thinking that, and no I'm not smelling, it's definetly... something else"
The Ambassador gets up and goes to peer outside of the carriage.

Tson

boombox
"We dadnae have much tae dae as kids, an me an me mates used tae steal cigs aff oor pa's and see who could oot do each other. Twas fun, but I wish i'd spen thae time studyin or waerken a trade, then I might hae got a job where I dadnae have tae set in the rain all day."

boombox

Tson
"It always rain so hard here or did we just pick a bad time?"
Heinrich leans back and looks behind and around them, scanning the trees..

Tson

boombox
"Hasnae stopped raining fer thae last faer weeks, I tell ye, this stum, tais an unnatural thaeng."
As if in answer to his words, ther is a flash of lightning, and the rumble of thunder crosses the sky in the distance, Adam raises his eyebrow again.
"Rucken et haerd me, an I waeldna be surprised neither."

boombox

Tson
"Think its linked to the other things going on? Those monsters attacking the Mer?"
He keeps looking around, trying to find the source of the smell..

Tson

RedAndCosmoteer
The man looks at them darkly.
"Rullae?"
He bends toward her slightly.
"Thaes bae sam bauld wurds massae, fram saemone that ware trying tae snek in unnoticed."
He straightens up again.
"Whut dae ye want, sky paeple? Daedn't yae have all ye ned whun ye'r anscestors left us here tae rot eh?"

Jenwuf
He smiles, sipping from the chalice.
"It is my job to know things, and I take my job very seriously."
He leans forward again and places the chalice on the desk.
"Now, I am afraid that is all I know at present, though myself I am endeavoring to find out more, as I have a, shall we say, vested interest."
He stands, bowing and without saying a word the Lupidirans can tell the meeting is at an end. As they walk to the door, he calls after them.
"There was one more thing, I would go and visit Dr Earhart, he lives on Shortcastle street, though he won't get back to town until 8:30 tomorrow night, he is... unfortunately detained. Have a pleasant day my dears, and if you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to come and ask me."
He puts a hand to his forehead, in a theatrical gesture of surprised forgetfulness.
"Oh how rude of me, I completely failed to introduce myself, I am Baron Cedric Von Utarefson, though charming ladies such as yourself may just call me Cedric."
He smiles again, and seems to exude a predatory atmosphere, the two seem to be fixed to the spot, unable to move.
"Be seeing you."
He winks again, and closes the door, as soon as they are released from that terrible gaze, the two Lupidirans feel they can move again...

boombox
"Waldnae bae surprised, naethin muach wauld surprise me nae."
He sniffs, grimacing.
"Whut's that godawful pong, did yae furget tae bathe thus maerning lad?"

Fort_Master_Gustav
There is nothing to be seen, and when he looks back, he can see Jem peering at the lady with the black veil, brow creased.
"'Ere, who's this gloomy old bat back here? I don't remember her buying a seat."
He peers closer, sniffing, looks concerned, and lifts up a corner of the veil.
"My god..."
He reels back, a look of shock upon his face, and the Veiled head slowly turns to face... The Ambassador. Then with an air of transfixing menace a bony hand reaches up and lifts the veil...
The face underneath peers at them through shrunken empty eye sockets, the skin is shriveled, and tight against the skull, and there is no nose, only the small bony protuberance you see on a skull, the cadaver's mouth drops open, and there is a rattling sound that sounds like hellish laughter. The ambassador suddenly feels faint, there is intense pain at his temples, and a ringing in his ears...*

boombox
Up front, Heinrich and Lagartha both feel faint as well, with the same pain at their temples...

Jenwuf

Tson
The two listen intently to him talking, both intrested by what he says.
They both chuckle a little at the final comment.

???-α: "Well, im sure you realise we are not exactly from around here either...
Although i have to ask, how... Do you know all this yourself?"

From the expression on her face, it seems a question asked more out of curiosity rather than out of not trusting what he said.

boombox

Tson
Heinrich hears the soft rattle of the bones, and turns to Lagertha..
"Erscheinung."
His face is dead serious...
"Was machen wir(What do we do?)"
"Sie vertreiben.(Repulse her.)"
Heinrich turns back to Adam..
"Stop the fucking cart, we've got a problem!"
With that he turns around and climbs ontop of the carriage, making his way around and towards the back..

BUREAU OF RESEARCH AND DEFENSE
B.O.R.A.D
AMBASSADOR UNIT A-01
EXCERPT 531 - AUTOMATIC DEFENSE LOG
DATE: [REDACTED]

In automatic response to the pain, the vessel, or psychic catalist known as "The Ambassador" outputs around 5% of potency to stabalize itself in an automatic threat response, as per programming and under the command of its 3 [REDACTED].

Soon, The Ambassador's pain doesn't completely fade away, but it dirminushes to a level that is ignorable to his cognitive functions, still yet, he certainly does feel disturbed by the sight of a skeleton laughing, he tries to sense with there's any psychic trickery involved, whilst still maintaining an outlook for any potential backstabbing, or harm, particularly to the little girl, which he likes solely for the fact that she called him a wizard, and to him that is pretty funny.

Jenwuf

Tson
The two stand in silence for a moment before turning to eachother and speaking.

???-δ: "Hmm... Something about that man seems very... odd..."

???-α: "You shouldn't say things like that... Didn't they teach you not to say things like that?..
...But... I do agree there is something about him that seems different from everyone else...
Im... Sure its nothing... After all, he is helping us..."

???-δ: "I suppose... So, are we going to see this... Doctor?"

???-α: "Perhaps, but for now we should go and find somewhere to stay for the night."

They both walk back down the stairs to head back outside to find that inn again, since it seems that there would likely be the best place to find somewhere to sleep, and to finally find somewhere to sit and eat the food they brought with them.

"We were searching for something that disturbed us, up there. Mind telling us, who are these 'other' Sky People? Can you tell me something more about them?"
