Just Another Day In A Life

One More Journey to The Other Side

(a. Friends, Where Are We Going To Do?)

Greg then wakes up, and it's still afternoon — Great nap, really. Also his wounds are recovered, no peeling skin and so on.

He then goes down to check on the rest of the party; they're still babbling about stuff down at the table, and he decided to join in the babble, "About time you arrived, Greg, we're discussing about Mellanby again." Sleepless says, "She knows about it, so don't go telling her who Mellanby is, along with Hollis, but she's got some quite plenty of information to help us out."

Sleepless then goes back from leaning back on the chair to the usual sitting position, "So, what do you know that snake?" she says to Iaret, "You felt, heard and even saw what that snake did?"

"Yes," she says with a straight face, "I did feel what Uraeus did."

"Uraeus? That's the snake's name?"

"Yes."

"Oh god, I must have forgotten- wait, what gender is Uraeus, exactly?"

"The snake? It's a male."

"Surprising, I thought it was a female."

"Well I am a female, but I did feel that I may have seen it's perspective as a male."

"Did you control it?"

"No, it's got his own mind, but I can't really remember most things he has done."

"Also do you know where Mellanby is?"

"Not really, but I do remember Uraeus meeting with a man in black in a forest not far away from here."

"Any clue where that is?"

"Probably a forest east of here."

"Got a map?"

"I think so, let me check."

Iaret then brings out a map and places it on the table, with a cross drawn on a place called "Praematura", which seems like a small village with it's borders reaching to the coast, "I think he must have been there." Iaret says.

"Doesn't seem to be very interesting to me, a somewhat small town?" Sleepless says, "What kind of people are in it?"

"Let's see, cat people-"

"You heard that, Hollis?" Sleepless cuts Iaret off, and looked to Hollis — "There's more of you!"

Hollis is visibly surprised, as he never really saw anyone that looked like him, "I'm not alone, am I?"

"Yes, there might be others that might be like you!" Sleepless then turned to Iaret, "How do we get there?"

"I think there may be horse carriages that can ride there, although walking is also an option."

"You mean taxis?"

"Yes, I forgot the word for it."

"Alright, pack up your things, and do you have tents just in case anything go wrong and we have to camp?"

"Yes, I've got a bag with me, alongside my satchel."

"Do you have four of the tents?"

"No, just one."

"Hollis, have you checked that store had tents for sale?"

"I think so." Hollis said.

The party then left the tavern, bringing their own bags and stuff along with them, and went to the shop that Hollis and Sleepless went to check for Mellanby, and they do have tents — just pushed back into the shop's storage, which led to the shopkeeper going back to the storage and coming back to the counter with three rolls of tents, costing 30 silver, which Sleepless paid for with a gold coin — and got the 30 silvers back as change.
