"A simple psychosomatic effect. A placebo, if you will."

"I'll take your word for it. They aren't paying me enough to keep everyone safe and be a scientist."

(Raul out loud)

as lonh as its not dung water i think its fine. Seemed to do quite a bit for you, at least for a minute, right?

"Well, I feel less hungover, so I guess it's working."

"A decent ruse." Marzira notes taking another careful sip of her not!coffee, then turns her attention Vox's way as she approaches the group. She doesn't recall seeing her on the caravan so she's likely a townsperson. 

"Are you a performer here?"

Quote from SheepsSong >>

"Are you a performer here?"

 "Well, I did just perform a song... here," Vox replies with a smile. 

She pulls up a chair, a bit away from the group's table, and strums her lute absent-mindedly playing some chord progressions. 

While the morning evolves and they continue talking the eclecttic group notices that there is few people going to the inn for breakfast. It seems that most of the activity today will be going on the streets of the city where the caravan has displayed their wares. 

Carrick finishes his breakfast and gets up. "Well, as fun as this has been, I do have a caravan to protect and the bosses will get to wondering where we are." He turns to the other caravan guards. "Do me a favor and don't tell them how hungover I was this morning."

Vox suddenly gets up and packs her lute behind her.

She tells the group at large, "I suspect that the caravan won't be going anywhere for a bit - and I doubt they'll need protection while in town. With that said, I've been indoors long enough. Time to explore. I think I'll go check out what this infamous caravan has available... And maybe ask the locals for the lay of the land, so to speak. If you care to  feel free to join in - unless your idea of fun is staying inside a tavern all day."

She begins to walk towards the exit, as she does she calls out to the innkeeper, "Remember, Borgag, if you find out about any good - or interesting - jobs, I want to know about it first!"

She continues to make her way to the door.

Seeing Vox say this to the group at large Leto will approach, staff in hand, raven on shoulder, and say "Vox right? If you wouldn't mind a bit of company I'd like to get some fresh air as well. I'm also curious what this caravan has brought into town."

"I suppose I should at least make a round to see if I can drum up any House business."

Genbo begins checking himself over, shining the House sigil on his messenger bag, adjusting his goggles, etc.

(Raul)

well there us a few things id like to get, if available. So how about we stick together?

Im new to the area, some of you are not. So ill keep an your back if you would watch mine?

"Your secrets safe with me. Just don't make it a habit, hm?" Marzira stands as well as the group begins to break up a bit and watches Vox go. She isn't sure what to make of her, and something doesn't sit quite right. Despite what the apparent bard had to say though, she's not about to lapse in her security of the caravan or it's people. Or even the people of Thadys. There's a lot to be gleaned from this journey. 

Glancing Raul's direction, and around at the group she says, "I think most of us were on the Caravan. Save for Ms. Vox as far as I know, but she seems new to, so perhaps I didn't notice her." Which again stands out to Marzira who makes it her business to know things. "It was a large caravan. Mr. Leto too, wasn't with us to my knowledge."

She falls into step with Carrick hoping they might get a chance to discuss some stuff now that they were here and somewhat settled. 

With a final tug of his tunic, Genbo is off.

He walks around the marketplace chanting:

"Sivis is here, Sivis is here!

Messages sent both far and near!

Notary services at the stroke of a pen,

Translations too, all tongues do we ken!

Reasonable prices, don’t empty your till!

Sivis is here from the great land of Zil!"

Seeing everyone leave, Merzin will follow closely behind, not wanting to be seen following them, but wanting to learn more about them. 

(28 stealth)

"Sure thing, Marzie. You're a lifesaver." He listens to her thoughts about Vox and Leto. "Well if you didn't notice them on the caravan, then I'm going to bet that they weren't there, since we were on that caravan for a while and nothing goes unnoticed by you." Carrick said, completely oblivious to that Halfling that was going unnoticed by him and Marzira.

 "Vox is my name," she replies to Leto. She continues, "Curiosity is a worthwhile motivation, good tiefling... and it has the... interesting duality... of being both beneficial and costly."

Vox exits the tavern with whomever else in tow, in tow. She doesn't so much examine the wares for sale, but is keen on all the conversations occurring around her as she walks - listening for anything of interest or note.

Raul will look around for a potion shop of sorts

"Hey Vox, I'm Carrick and I don't believe that you were on our caravan, but it doesn't seem like you're from here either. So how did you get here and how long have you been in town?"

Quote from Sarcasticfury >>

"Hey Vox, I'm Carrick and I don't believe that you were on our caravan, but it doesn't seem like you're from here either. So how did you get here and how long have you been in town?"

 "And a 'hey' to you, as well, Carrick," Vox replies, "Hmm, you don't seem to be the type to own a caravan - but what do I know? One doesn't stay wealthy by not being frugal."

She chuckles, "I'm teasing, Carrick, you're dressed quite smartly." Then in a quieter conspiratorial, but being obvious about it, voice, "Although I don't really think you own the caravan, but your secret is safe with me."

As she walks away she turns and while taking a few steps backwards, says, "I travel by foot, if you must know. And you know how it is with these towns - one day or one week, you can never tell."

She turns again and continues to peruse the market, again taking more interest in what people are talking about than necessarily what's for sale.
