Round 4: The Village of Shadows

[Winters Rage]

>Read sign.

[Josiah]

CHRIS
((This isn't Misadventure.))
The sign contained a list of offices on the upper floors. As Chris wasn't familiar with any of the names listed, it didn't seem to do him much good.

[Winters Rage]

((Lol, couldn't help it XD))
Chris thought for another second before continuing, but then went up the stairs anyways.
"Heck, if their gonna ditch me, I might as well stay ditched for as long as possible and check out the entire building." Chris thought to himself as he treaded up the stairs.

[Josiah]

CHRIS
Chris soon reached the second floor and found himself staring down a long hallway lined with doors. Each door had a nameplate but those were the only distinguishing features.

[Siranae]

Alright, so to the town center it is. Sira said, and began walking in its direction.

[Dark Gentleman]

"The town square huh, do any of you guys think I should use my super speed to check it out and make sure its safe? Or should we all stick together?" D.G. asked as he walked along.

[Josiah]

GROUP 1 (Zanther, Sira, Mickey, D.G.)
((Are you guys paying much attention to your surroundings or just rushing towards the town center?))

[Saber Knight]

Mickey followed Sira, constantly looking around to see what was going on around them. This whole new word (a dazzling place she never knew) was highly interesting to her, and she also didn't want to risk missing anything that might lead them to the portal.

[Josiah]

GROUP 1 (Zanther, Sira, Mickey, D.G.)
The group continued walking through the bazaar. There were quite a lot of people there, though due to the strangeness of the place, it made it hard to tell much other than their general shape. Most, at least, appeared to be human in shape. The shops and stalls were seemingly endless, containing all manner of merchandise though nothing stuck out as being overly strange or exciting. ((If there's anything in particular you're looking for, let me know and I'll point it out.)) After walking for a while, the group reached a four way crossroad with roads leading NW, NE, SW, and SE ((you came from the NE road)).

[Siranae]

Sira looked down each of the three paths that lay before them. Egh. Maybe I should have gotten better directions. She thought to herself.
Heh, this time it's three roads diverged...but we're not in a yellow wood. And it wouldn't be diverged. It'd be...triverged. Yeah, didn't think that joke out all the way. She said, making a slight face in reaction to the attemped joke. Alright. So the town center. Maybe there's a sign somewhere. She took a glance around, looking for anything that might indicate the direction of their destination.

[Josiah]

GROUP 1 (Zanther, Sira, Mickey, D.G.)
Oddly enough, there didn't appear to be any street signs or other directional indicators. There were more shops and stalls lining all of the streets but, due to the crowds filling the bazaar, Sira couldn't see far enough to tell where any of the roads led.

[Siranae]

Sira was surprised to find out that there were no signs, or anything else that might indicate which direction each path headed in. She sighed. Okay, got to find someone to give me directions. With that, she walked toward the nearest stand.

[Winters Rage]

((Yay I'm back, and apparently quite a few others are too ^^))
"Hmm... I wonder what is behind door number one..." Chris was talking to himself as he walked up to a door and lightly knocked on it." ((Tell me if checking each room is really necessary or could you just skip it and say I checked them all or something? Is there a 3rd floor also?))

[Josiah]

CHRIS
((Each room is going to be different, sure, but they're all just office for a bunch of people (like the signs said) so it's unlikely that you'll find anything useful if you search them. You'll probably just annoying a lot of people. The higher floors are pretty much the same.))


GROUP 1 (Zanther, Sira, Mickey, D.G.)
Sira approached a stall that sold what looked rather like oddly shaped flutes. A young woman sat behind the counter idly playing a haunting melody on one of them.

[Winters Rage]

After peaking in every room on every floor, Chris stood at the end of the hallway thinking to himself.
"Hmm.. Ok, so.. I've searched the building... what is it again that I'm looking for...? Oh right, the portal.
Man, this is really weird, I'd have never though any of this to even exist... and on top of that, I'm in a game show.. I wonder if I'm being filmed right now... Hmm... Oh well, just standing here isn't gonna find that portal any faster." Chris finished pondering and walked down the stairs all the way down to the front door and left.
((Now, where am I again? I'm in the central bazaar place, right?))
