"Yes, if your childhood involved pillaging a castle with your fellow inbred heathens. I can see how."
[i]The mage said back with snark as he sighed, gripping the staff as his eyes stared right at the Deity. Xanthus had a weathered and jaded look to him, it was apparent he had experienced many things.[/i]
"Might you tell me why I was invited here, in some bizarre carriage nonetheless? I suppose this reminds me of Kaer Trolde, but that's not the point. Speak your intentions."

Alex now really didn't like this guy. He reminded him of someone that he wouldn't speak of to such an asshat. But, the man looked useful. "Ya. I have a job for you. Unless you ain't done criticizing it for its wallpaper yet." Alex answered sarcastically.
-
"Actually, I will criticize the wallpaper. It's tacky as hell. More than this damned Witcher's armor..." [i]He had remarked, pulling on the fur collar which had revealed a minor rash.[/i] "Damned things giving me a rash, I have no clue how that Witcher could wear it...But nonetheless, a job you say? I would like some information, as I'd rather not read peoples minds to do so."
-
"Ya know, I sort of had a feeling you could read minds as you walked in here." Alex admitted. "It takes a special kind of prick to have the ability to read minds." After Alex's insult, he walked over to his left towards an oak wood door. "C'mon. In here." He said as he opened it.
-
"All Sorcerers and Sorceresses can read minds. Though I wouldn't expect you to know that, you probably know as much as a peasant farmer." [i]He walked into the door, awaiting whatever it is.[/i]

Edited by Inflatablepants: 4/1/2017 3:26:25 PM"Sorry. Hard to know a lot about a basically extinct breed of the human species." Alex decisively rebutted. As Xanthus entered the room he saw a line of computers on the back wall and a large table that seemed to be projecting a map of the world of Tatakai.
-
"There's a good reason why mages are sterile." [i]Xanthus took a good look around the room, waiting for the Deity to talk.[/i]
-
"Mmmmmm. Right." Alex said as he tapped the floating projection of the world. The world spun around then zoomed in on the City labeled "Teluria." "Alright. Here's the plan. We need to go into the city and recruit a tech expert and scientist known as Helix. Sounds simple, right? Well not really. As soon as I was planning to go and pick him up he disappeared without a trace. The police report it as a kidnapping so I wouldn't doubt it. You and I need to go into Teluria and find him. I'm sure it'll be easy for a smartass such as yourself?"
-
[i]Xanthus sighed.[/i] "Fine, I'll see what I can do. Though if you wanted to track someone down then hire a damned Witcher. Where is this Teluria anyways?"
-
"In the ollimund region. Their forces took a beating with the Twilight fiasco so they haven't been able to get a handle on a lot of things. I'm hoping this is a first step for use to be allied with em, so I'm coming with you."
-
"The what now?" [i]He had asked, reaching into his bag and producing a bottle that of which let a faint glow of purple. He opened it, letting out a bizarre aroma of oranges and old books. Xanthus then drank the potion.[/i]
-
"The...okay forget it. You and I are on a man hunt in an overpopulated as all hell city. You're getting paid. You in or not?"
-
"Depends on how I'm getting paid. But nonetheless I might as well accept, I don't have anything better to do. At least I'm not some conniving bitch who's trying to control everyone like a certain group...." [i]Xanthus had said, referring to the Lodge of Sorceresses in particular. He wasn't a druid, but he did have some form of disdain for sorceresses.[/i] "Might I open a portal for us? It'll make the trip faster."
-
"Don't see why we wouldn't." Alex said. "After you."
-
"Et cata arn blaine!" [i]Xanthus had chanted, waving his staff in front of him once, opening a portal. Then he had motioned Alex to enter the portal with said staff.[/i]
