[ic=Fizz] Fizz reaches into his backpack, and pulls out a crumbling biscuit.  He bites into it, and through a mouthful of it, says, "Ah wanner ahf ders ahee phood eer?"  He swallows and then continues, "I mean, any that might still be good.  We don't know how long ago these places were abandoned.  It could've been just a few days before we got here.  In any event, there's bound to be other useful stuff lying around if we look.  And it's not like whoever lived here is going to miss their stuff."[/ic]

[spoiler=The Welcoming Song]Welcome new member,
Hope you like it here,
Just don't let these guys,
Talk off your ear.

Which happens quite often,
Be annoying too,
And our hearts will soften.

If ever you're bored,
Just show up online,
We wash away boredom,
In absolutely no time.[/spoiler]

A great website for you and me,
Spinning webs, connecting dots,

It's got nothing but gamer blood.
Can it live on a thread?
Yes it can, it's never dead.
Hey there! This is the CBG.

CBG, CBG,

Wealth and fame, never seen-
Though they sound really keen.

Captain Obvious

[ic=Dura]Dura walks outside to greet the day, pulling some dried fruit from his pouch. As he eats it, he gives a whistle and shortly after, Koda comes padding out of the woods.
 "Good day to you, spirit-brother. Did you find food for yourself last night? Yes? That's good. The dour man says we are to leave quite soon. Until then, you may enjoy yourself."
 "I am okay to leave at time anynow. I would good like to find the fires quick."[/ic]
 [ooc]Haha! That's right guys. A vegetarian orc. Well, i guess you couldn't tell just from his meal. But he is indeed a vegetarian orc. WOO! stereotype breaking.[/ooc]

He looks over at Fizz disapprovingly, "Best not ask for a song from a leanan sídhe, lad."[/ic]

[ic=Cecil]
It's possible this house was abandoned recently, but highly unlikely.  However, I have not searched around inside the house, so feel free to do so... I don't think the owners are going to say anything.[/ic]

QuoteCecil continues writing in his journal without looking up.

[ic=Fizz] Fizz continues turns to Naoise, mouth full of biscuit once more, "'Eenan Fee?  Oo eph at?"  He manages to chew and swallow the biscuit in his mouth, then stands up and looks around.  "I think I will see if anything useful might've been left behind."
With that, he wanders around the house, looking for any kind of supplies that might be helpful

limetom

[ic=Naoise]Naoise simply shakes his head.  Obviously, his subtlety went right over Fizz's head.  "Self, be sure to be sure be less subtle with yer man.", he mutters to himself with a sigh.[/ic]
[ooc]@Paranoid Android - I'm implying that Naoise is superstitious, and that he feels that we shouldn't be taking things that don't belong to us, especially if the owners mysteriously vanished.  Vengeful spirits and all that.[/ooc]

Furor

[ic=crow]As he packs his things he rips of chunks of a piece of smoked meat " We waste time" [/ic]
What? Huh? naw. It ain't that, are you stupid? man. It's chickens, you know?

[ooc]
Fizz - I'm just going to assume you check the entire house; let me know if you actually check the shed and stables as well.  I've sent you a PM.

Guys, I'll be checking this throughout the night, as well as  most of the early day tomorrow, so feel free to do things if you have anything to do.

[ic=Cecil]
I agree.  We're wasting time.  It's time to pack up and go.[/ic]

QuoteCecil stands, folds up his ledger, and walks outside to the makeshift stable.  He spends a few minutes gearing up the horse for the ride, and then leans up against a post, waiting for the rest of the group.

Darkxarth

[ic=Fizz]Fizz wanders back into the main room, "Well, I was able to find some rope and a scabbard, as well as some coins, as though that will do us any good."  He follows Cecil out to the stable and prepares to leave.[/ic]

[ooc]Not going to check anywhere else.  I got VERY lucky with a natural 20 on my Search check, and I'd probably roll terribly on this check.  Besides, I don't think I'd find anything else of use anywhere else.[/ooc]

Furor

[ic=Crow]Crow wanders around the empty house, looking at the family effects "Coins are as good as shit with no one to take them from you." He picks up a rotting plate "wonder what happened." crow tosses the plate into the hearth and follows the others into the stable, saddling his horse and strapping his pack in. "ready?" [/ic]
What? Huh? naw. It ain't that, are you stupid? man. It's chickens, you know?

Ishmayl-Retired

[ic=Cecil]
Everyone ready?  Good, we ride.[/ic]

QuoteCecil mounts the horse and, without looking back, trots back out to the road, heading north.

Furor

[ic=Crow]Close behind cecil is Crow, digging into a pouch for his rolling papers. In a few seconds he's rolled a cigarette and has produced a tindertwig to light it. " Helps in the morning" with that he continues to smoke it, irritating his horse to no end, its ears twitching and an ocassional snort of what seems like derision.[/ic]
 [ooc]Crow just continues on without a word till something happens.[/ooc]
