"Yes sir, leave it to me!" Petrol needed to go back to the Climbing Store the next day to ask about the grappling hook, and seemed pleased that he'd be able to kill two birds with one stone.

Sharn arrives at the headquarters.
Ignoring the others, Sharns goes about exploring the place. She's looking for a room or something that she can claim for herself.

Assistant Headmaster Pugeot Gilgamesh ponders the question, "Well, I could ask the Applied Magic Department Chair to get in contact with you. They made your stones-- but really, if you want to keep this magic bucket of yours safe, you should bring it here to the University. The Research and Arcanalysis department has excellent secure storage facilities. I guarantee that nobody would be able to get at it there."

Petrol

"Good. Knew I could count on you young man" says Judge Sig with a smile. "Now get out of my office, I have work to do!"

Sharn

Sharn explores the Headquarters, searching for a private area. She finds a few possibilities.

The horse stalls are pretty private, but the have a big gap at the bottom of the doors. Whoever vacated this building before it became the Arcane Firefighters building left them pretty clean.

There are four large wardrobes in the left bunkrooms, and five in the right bunkroom. They are not big enough to lay down comfortably, but pushed together they could easily partition off a corner of one of the bunkrooms. If she did it on the side with the windows, she could even enclose a pair of the hammock hooks.

There are two washrooms. Why would a building need two? Everybody else can just use the toilet in the other one. The door locks too!

He rubs his chin, "I appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid that we must be able to use the artifact with frequency and be able to retrieve it quickly. Flames are an irritable wench, ill patient to wait the added travel."

While storing the bucket in the more secure premises would solve the immediate problem, it would only add additional ones.

"May you point out the location of the Applied Magic Department? I would like to speak to them next."

Arcadia smacked her forehead when the create water spell caused water to go nearly everywhere. She pulled out one of the buckets the guild gave her and cast the spell in it.

This pamphlet is very fascinating! Frankly Cece likes it a lot more than that damned create water baloney... "A leetle luck 'ere or there changes eet all.. the right place, the right time, no?" She thinks about a talentless hack swiping the shoes from a beautiful young woman with her entire career in front of her.. and of that beautiful young woman finding a stomping moron whose boots were a perfect fit. Maybe not copper, but the ideas the same and there's something hopeful about that. Damn! Still gotta find some broken glass..

"I 'ave to run, I steel 'ave so many theengs to do... thank you so much, an' I weesh you well. I 'ope we meet again!"

Normin

Pugeot Gilgamesh's offended air returns, but he grudgingly directs his secretary to give Normin directions to the Applied Magic building.

The Applied Magic building is a broad squat marble building. Inside are narrow hallways with door markings like "Lecture Hall 2" "Elemental Lab 5" or "Gelatinous Cube Closet 9"

Big Hat Normin is greeted by Intensity Brown, Dean of Applied Magic, an elderly human woman surrounded by Grad Students who-- while appearing young compared to her-- don't seem to have a soul under 60 among them.

"Fine to meet you!" She says. "Glad the Mayor finally got this Firefight'n business off the ground! We delivered her Alarmstones three weeks ago, I thought she was going to expire in office before I heard anything new about it."

Arcadia

Arcadia fetches a bucket, and tries the spell again, but this time nothing at all happens. Then she remembers that the pamphlet said it would only work once every 10 minutes.

She waits patiently 9 more minutes, and tries again. This time she manages to catch most of it in the bucket, although her face and neck still get splashed.

She examines the results, and guesses that she would have to repeat the spell a total of 5 or 6 times to fill the bucket all the way up-- very disappointing compared to what was advertised, but certainly not useless.

None Of You See

The afternoon has been slowly passing by. It is about 3:00 pm now. The hottest part of the day is past, and the sun is gently beginning to sink.

Somewhere in the city, a curl of black smoke twists up from a rooftop. None of you see it yet. Not even the people in now-smouldering the building see it yet-- but they will soon.

Normin hrms when passing by the Gelatinus Cube closet.. They could use one of those for janitorial services.

He tips his hat to the dean, "Well met, Madam Brown. We've not begun to use your alarms, but it's a novel invention none of the less. I suppose I should cut to the chase, but what of the prospect of a second central stone which can notify the alarmstones of intruders that break into the headquarters?"

Kailyn continues to waltz around the area, completely oblivious to absolutely everything. Eventually deciding it's time to get some rest, he heads back towards Temple District.

Cece heads back to the dumpster to pick up her stuff and take it back to the station.

Sharn, satisfied with the bunks the way they are for now, marches down towards the others, her paranoid delusions beginning to once again take hold.
"Who has the key to this place? We should have copies made," she barked.

Normin

Dean Intensity Brown considers Big Hat Normin's request. "Integrating a new stone into the network is a big project, and I don't think I could get it done in less than a week, but if you are simply worried about intruders, I could send one of my grad students back with you now, and they could set up some wards and alarmtraps tonight. "

Kailyn

Kailyn finds three people inside his apartment.

Ursula is poking around the kitchen. A small orc boy is sitting at the table <s>near Commander Bibbles' cage</s>. He is wearing a school uniform, and giant thick-lensed glasses.

"I told my son you promised chocolate cake!" Says Ursula with a grin.

In the other room, Piter Strifeshock has an easel set up, and he is painting a picture of the view through the windows in Kalar's bedroom.

"Did you decorate this place, Count Kandel?" He asks without looking up from his work. "Your sense of space and texture are impeccable! ... but I will have to alter a few of the colors in this representation"

Cece

Cece finds her things in the dumpster. A bucket of potato peelings and an empty glass jug with goat's milk residue have been added to the stash.

Nobody Notices

The curl of smoke grows stronger, but it is still a tiny thing. Nobody notices it yet.

There is one person watching it. But "notice" is the wrong word to describe looking at a thing you created yourself.

BMR · Post by **BMR** » Wed Jul 06, 2016 4:13 pm

Kailyn bows to everyone and says, "Greetings! And yes, I absolutely did promise chocolate cake. Give me but a moment to prepare, and I shall begin making some."

To Piter, he says, "Well, to be honest, I would say most of it is my work, but I did build on what was here, so I can't call it all my own. Either way though, great to see you here, I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship between us!"

With that, Kailyn will head into his kitchen to make the cake.

One note though, the Commander would be locked in Kailyn's private study, so not accessible unless they picked the lock or broke the door down.

Before Normin finally makes his way on his supportive cane to embark across the campus, he stops then his hat turns to indicate his redirection. He asks, "Oh, and one more thing.."

He gazes to the dusty bookshelves, "You wouldn't happen to have an entry level spell book I could borrow, would you? I just need to expand my own repertoire, nothing I need to keep."

---

"A fair compromise. I grant you my thanks." He then considers, "I suppose this requires some monetary compensation, hmm?"

"Mondieu! Who would throw away a perfectly good bucket?" Cece wonders if this is a sign that she will be needing a second bucket before the night is through. And the glass jug... talk about divine providence! She coils the rope around herself, dumps the torches into the bucket and sets off for headquarters, looking quite a sight.
