The floors are hardwood, and the regularly spaced beams that support the roof and vaulted ceiling appear to be made entirely of pine. The room isn't so much dark as it is pleasantly under-lit; the soft yellow lights from the ceiling lends a refreshing atmosphere. The restaurant is entirely devoid of people, save for one or two workers quickly running around th ----btw sorry all bout sunday night lost my server for 2 days I will make it happen fri or sat. ----I aint leaving just yet :) sounds like fun * [^^Silver^^] wonders about what Quent was dreaming about <[^^Silver^^]> ---no prob *** NervousGM is now known as Old_Mage^^ ack *** Old_Mage^^ is now known as Old_Man^^ a bit tired myself... ---Pipe down old man :) ---Nar you still haven't authorized me on your ICQ yet, and you said you would "i'm afraid getting you up early was my idea, gentlemen. i apologize for that" "Its alright" * Shimmers clears her throat ----heh sorry havent had it up in a couple days <`Cerberus> "So whatsit?" <[^^Silver^^]> "No problem, just hope it is worth it" btw, he's sitting at a table at the other side of the room. you're all still standing at the front door ---well ok, just don't forget :) * Quentin_M wanders over there * [^^Silver^^] walks over and takes a seat * Shimmers goes over and sits down when you walk up, you see that there's a chair for each of you and a coffee mug. a hot, steaming pot of black coffee sits at the center of the table, along with cream and sugar "please, help yourselves" <[^^Silver^^]> "Man I could use this right now, thanks" * Quentin_M takes a mug and drinks perking up * Old_Man^^ takes a sip out of his own mug as he looks you all over * Quentin_M sits down ----aight * [^^Silver^^] starts to drink his coffee * Shimmers starts to sip her coffee * `Cerberus grabs the rest of the bot and sips away "thank you all for coming on such short notice" <[^^Silver^^]> "So whats up Mr. J" "i'm sure you've all heard the recent news reports about the recent robberies that have been going on in the city?" * Shimmers carefully observes the man * [^^Silver^^] nods * Quentin_M nods his head "Yes, what about them" <`Cerberus> "Yup" "through some...private investigations of my own doing, i have been able to obtain the identity of the theives that are responsible for these thefts" * [^^Silver^^] drinks down his coffee and looks for more * Old_Man^^ sips his coffee "And you want us to do what?" "and the location of their safehouse" <[^^Silver^^]> "And?" "Wher do we fit in?" almost as if on cue, when your coffee mug is empty, the boy you saw earlier comes out with another freshly-brewed pot "i would like you to retrieve the items for me" * [^^Silver^^] thanks the boy and starts to drink * `Cerberus grabs the new pot on the way in "Ok what is the pay?" <[^^Silver^^]> "I really need this, long night" <`Cerberus> "So we rock they're world and get your little toys back" "the theives in question-as the media has come to suspect-are indeed magicians."

Lush, well-trimmed bushes surround the outside of the fence and block the view to the house that they seem to be protecting.
