Another wonderful morning at the Freesword's inn, or at least, that's what it should be. Instead, the place looks rather abandoned, save for a distressed coat wearin' lion frantically pacing about on the floor, occasionally looking under tables, chairs, and other places that objects manage to slip their way into. In the back, the morning shift bartender shakes his head from side to side, idly cleaning glasses and waiting for someone to help him out.
Shirokami enters the inn, tilting his head slightly at the site of the frantic lion, blinking a bit at the scene before him " Eh, whats goin' on here? You lose somethin'? Or just gone crazy?"
Sveta arrives, in the inn, hoping for a drink of clean water away from the heat and dust of the craft school. She'd intended to play her violin today, but such things are quite impossible with only the use of one arm, and the chaos and disarray hits her like a sledgehammer to the head, Dio being the epicenter of it all. "I...what? Dio? Stop that this instant!" She marches forward between the seats, intent on putting a stop to this tomfoolery.
Ryusho mrphs quietly as he comes down from upstairs with a yawn, as he rubs his head slightly, "What in the world is going on, all the activity this morning got me up, not to metnion the racket you are making..and were making a little bit ago.." he says with a slight grumble to himself and another yawn, though at least he had been awake enough to remember to get dressed before coming out to see what in the world was going on.
Tzerya comes down from her room with a tired look in her eyes, having just woken up and wanting something to eat. Raising a bit of surprise at Dio, her ear droops, "Something wrong?". Standing at the bottom of the stairs, she looked at the others who were gathering, then to the lion.
The lion continues to torment the building with his frantic searching, the chairs now certainly in a large amount of disarray and tables pushed out of pattern in an annoying fashion to those who enjoy their peace of structure and symmetry. When Shiro comes in, Dio stopped his search temporarily and rose up from flipping over a table. "I..." And then Sveta comes in, making the much older feline shrink down as if he were a guilty child. Well, at least help had finally arrived. "Gather 'round lad's in lassies," he says, gesturing towards everyone to come closer to his person, if they could stand the smell that is. "My pendent! Someone took my pendent while I was sleepin'! Or at least, I think they did. I was quite drunk at the time ya see..." And indeed, as one looks upon Dio's neck, there is no pendent to be seen.
Shirokami tilts his head as he chuckles a bit " Didn't lose it at some game, did ye? Well, what do you remember last of it?" he shakes his head slowly " And I think I can sme... Er.. See just fine from here for the time being.." his ears twitch atop his head, half-lowered
Sveta scowls, walks up and jabs Dio in the ribs. "Sit down and be quiet, Lion of Frantic Gestures - you have a day before anything serious happens to you. Knowing you, have you looked in your pockets? Your coat? Your mane? Or did you eat it by accident? No, seriously - where did you see it last?"
Ryusho shakes his head slowly, "Indeed, Where did you last see it is the best question, as that would help find it." he says after a moment, "Other then 'Arround your neck" since of course that much is obvious, we mean where is the last time you saw it -around- your neck..."
Tzerya tilts her head and sighs softly at Dio's blight. Walking closer, the rabbit seems to look him over before taking a sudden step back, her nose twitching in reaction to his smell. "Indeed, bet you could lose pretty much anything in that mane of yours. Though you sure you didn't just leave it next to where you were sleeping?".
After getting jabbed in the ribs, Dio lets out a short 'oof' noise and quickly takes a seat that's been so lovingly scattered just near his position. "Well I'll tell ya what 'appened. So the bartender like me so much, he decided to give me some free drinks! An' you think I would refuse a kind gesture? I think not! I was drinkin' and drinkin', then things got a little hazy, an' then I woke up in my room without my pendent," he exclaims, rising out of his seat and then sitting down once more. "I've checked everywhere! I don't know where..."
The morning bartender, an orange furred and lanky monkey of sorts, puts down the glass he was cleaning and sets it aside. "Good... Are you the lion's friends or something," he says in a surprisingly high pitched voice. "I think I have something that may help you out. When I took my shift this morning, I was given this strange note." After digging around for a bit, the monkey pulls out a piece of parchment and begins reading out loud. "Ahem! It would seem you have lost your pendent in a drunken stupor. A silly lion you are, but fret not. We have a few tasks for you to complete and you shall receive what you've been searching for. You're a lazy man, we can tell, so we've made them quite easy. First, head over to the academy and enter the vacant studio room we have labeled. Do not worry, no one lives there. You shall receive your next clue upon entering the location."
With that, the monkey sets the note down on the table if someone wishes to grab it and looks at the group longingly, as if he were begging them to help out.
Shirokami tilts his head at the 'clue' as it is read " That sounds quite interesting... Perhaps it is a trap?" he looks to the others curiously, as if pondering their thoughts on it
"I wouldn't call him just a friend. More like a bottomless pit on legs." Sveta thumbs at the note with her usable hand. "All right, this is quite ridiculous, and White Wolf here is quite right. Unless you really have some sentimential attachment to the thing and must follow through with these inane demands from who knows where, my suggestion is that we march you out of here, get a fresh pendant from the Freeswords', and I'll start lessons with you to not drink so much out in public."
Blinking curiously as she tries to peek at the clue, ears wiggling, "Not sure if I know him well enough for friend, but may as well say that.". Looking to Sveta, Tzerya shakes her head, "Don't say things like that, it's the point of the matter. Thieves should be toasted and roasted.". Snapping her head back to the wolf with a grin, "It may be a trap, but all that means is they have an advantage...nothing more or less.".
"It could be a trap, but..." Dio bounces his feet up and down on the wooden floor, creating loud and annoying tapping sounds. "An' the pendent does mean a lot to me! Someone gave it to me an'... It's not important! I'm goin'!" And like that, Dio sprints his way out of the building at top speed, probably heading straight for the academy in question.
Meanwhile, the monkey happily hands over the note. Seems rather normal for the most part. Not too fancy handwriting and probably written by your everyday commoner. "Friend or not," he says to the group in a somewhat hushed tone. "Please keep the lion on track." Every part of his facial expression begged for assistance, looking quite true to his word.
Shirokami blinks as Dio seems to freak out a bit, and wanders after him, apparently holding his breath when Dio wanders past him however! And follows him from as lack a smell a distance as he can, taking in deep breaths now and then and coughing or choking slightly
