Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

"It is not as much what I want as much as in what you have, Mr Sorin."

Dexter gives a chuckle. "Gracious me, I actually sounded like the devil there. But I suppose we both do function in somewhat the same way."

He gazes at the cat with a smile, "You are correct, cat. You should not trust me. What you can trust is that a businessman would like to keep his reputation of trustworthiness. Especially when it comes to something like knowledge, you cannot sell bad info."

He then turns to June, admiring the new look she has.

"Very nice, young miss, but are you sure you do not want a leg up? Granted I am useless in a fight, but if you feed me knowledge, I can aid you in your survival in other ways."
Sorin (played by Sabriel)

As June comes out from under the table Sorin backs away, terrified. "You didn't have a knife a second ago! Ah, this is too dangerous!" Sorin slowly makes way towards the door. He will not be involved in this dangerous party any longer!

The cat watches both the girl and the man in the crowd. She knows she can't do anything, but she wants to protect June!

"That would be very interesting my dear sir. Very interesting." She swung her blade at the male in the green mask and only cut his arm. She dodged most of his attacks but as soon as she made a wrong move,her face was cut and the mask slit in half and fell off. She held her hand over her face while a bit of her blood dripped onto the floor.

It was still unknown how she looked even after she took her hand from her face,because of her hair now covering the former mask area. She knew she couldn't win this fight. If she cheated...maybe she could,but it wasn't like her to cheat. She was not ready to cheat,not yet at least. Not yet.

Her hand dropped the blade and she had her head held down. The male lunged at her with a quick movement but he soon stopped with the blade an inch away from her face. His mask shattered exposing a face that looked like Dexter. Her eyes merely widened as she backed away while panting a little. The male seemed to die shortly afterwards.
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

Dexter's face changes to one of disdain as he walks up to the 'man', though with his eyes, he could see it for what it truly was. A faceless puppet. The person who sent this thing knows who and what he was, which means that person has knowledge in the arcane and that person does not want June in his company.

"Pixie! Call your friends and put these people to sleep."

The pixie Dexter called upon before appeared above the crowd giggling, it then took a deep breath and blew a sharp shrill whistle. Within seconds, more and more pixies started to appear out of thin air. The sight of numerous tiny creatures hovering above them was starting to send people in a panic, until the pixies started to sing in unison.

The song was like a lullaby and the pixies flew about, making sure everyone could hear the song. The crowd started to stagger, their eyes fluttering and before the minute was up, everyone lay snoring on the ground fast asleep. The pixies laughed in delight, paying their pranks on the unsuspecting sleepers. Tying their shoes together, drawing pictures on faces, stealing undergarments and switching clothes between the men and women. The only people left standing were Dexter, Sorin and June.

The pixie that instigated it all fluttered in front of June giggling in delight. It kisses June on the nose before fluttering off revealing a rather displeased Dexter in front of her.

He had probed the puppet to see what little he could get out of it but it's master was good at covering his tracks. Now he stood before June, "I am not very pleased with someone going about with my face on, giving me a bad reputation. I believe I am entitled an explanation, young Miss."

She took a red hanky and wiped her face,ridding that of blood. She was very beautiful and her cut was a bit red. She rubbed her arm a little and sighed. "I don't know why..or what the motives are for this but...I-I almost died here! I just would like to go home..." She shivered and looked down some. "I-I'm sorry." Her mask lay cut in half on the floor and her cut starting to bleed more. She started to feel just a bit woozy. She quickly began walking limply.
Sorin (played by Sabriel)

Sorin stands in a corner of the room, hands covering his face in terror, "What is going on?!! No, I don't want to know. You people.. GET AWAY FROM ME!! You're too dangerous!" he screams. The kitten tries to comfort him with happy images, but it's not working.
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

Dexter sighs and massages his eyes. "It's going to be one of those days, I see."

He pulls out a gun from inside his coat and shoots at Sorin. Instead of actually getting shot, he and his cat gets surrounded by light and they disappear. Next, he walks towards June and holds her up and close to him by wrapping an arm about her waist. He looks at June about to pass out and a cheeky grin surfaces and before June could do anything, he kisses her full on the lips.

A few seconds pass before they part lips, Dexter gives June a warm smile and said, "Hmm, a little on the bloody side, but still a very sweet kiss. That should keep you awake for awhile longer."

He then aims his gun at themselves and fires, causing the same effect to occur. The four have ended up in a much different place. A place filled with bookshelves that reach high into the sky and far beyond the horizon lined with rows of books.

"Welcome to the Halls of Knowledge! Don't get lost, you might never find you way out again."

June was still blushing from the kiss befor she got to looking around. She sighed a little and wanted to get back into her regular day clothes. She took off her cloak and wrapped it around herself. She soon dropped it and she was now wearing black combat boots and a red skirt,also a black top. She looked down and rubbed her eyes.

"It has been an epic event today. Some that no one could imagine." She shook her head and sighed a little. "Sadly books may make me read faster and increase my skill of writing and reading. Merely depending on the book that is. Sure you can learn something from it,but...my mental skill will improve only by the more energy I use."

She pushed a her hair back. "I honestly don't understand."
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

"I think you are mistaken, June."

Dexter pulls out a a random book from the shelf and opens it. There was nothing in the pages.

"I do not deal in the trade of words or letters. I deal in the trade of Knowledge. I take it in the purest form, unfortunately the closest word that can best describe it is 'thought' yet it is not. When I deal you a piece of Knowledge, you will end up knowing it the moment the deal is sealed. And if you deal me a piece of knowledge, I just make a copy of it."

Dexter decides to give them a free sample of his wares and his skills. He lifts the book up above his head and shuts it close with a 'boom'. The instant the book closed both Sorin and June gained the knowledge about the formation of the Stonehenge and what it's purpose is.

"Like so."

"Interesting,but I suppose I am one of the old fashion wa--" Her eyes widened and she put her hands over her head. Her eyes changed from green to blue. They stayed that way for a few seconds then they turned back green. She had a great look of fear as well.
Sorin (played by Sabriel)

Sorin sits in the hall, his mind blank. As information on Stonehenge hit him, the young man touches the kitten. Why would she give him this information? When she explains it wasn't from her, but from a magical book he gulps. Why is this happening to him? All he wanted was a simple, peaceful life. He shouldn't have gone to that party!

The cat looks around and thinks, *So this is the Halls of Knowledge. Huh. Not as impressive as I thought.*
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

"This coming from a little feline mammal that is known to lick it's own asshole?" Dexter quipped with a straight face. "Well before you talk any more business we should patch Ms June up... and maybe give Mr Sorin some tranquillizer."

He then picks June up in a princess carry and walks off into one direction. "Come now Mr Sorin, you really do not want to get lost in this place."

They walked briskly for about an hour before they finally reach a passageway, and once through they were all greet by a grand sight.

A variety of creatures also seen moving about the place. From anthropomorphic animals, to mystical creatures to futuristic robots and androids. A small anthropomorphic cat wearing a robe and wizard's hat came scurrying towards Dexter.

"Ah, Nibbles. Please tell the medical team to prepare for a patient. I will be there shortly."

Nibbles nods and before running off, he stops to stare at Sorin's cat, and then went on his way.

June was amazed for a short while until she felt another pain in her head. Every time that happened,several events that will happen,or has happened would flash in front of her eyes. Her wounds reopened and her face started to bleed again. She felt faint and a bit dizzy. "Ow..."
Sorin (played by Sabriel)

Sorin follows Dexter clumsily. He laughs a little bit, "Pardon me, I'm just not used to this kind of thing." He feels safer knowing there are doctors nearby. "Is the girl going to be all right?" Sorin asks, concerned.

The cat watches Nibbles as it walks away. She meows and paws at Sorin's hair, looking cute.
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

Dexter decides not to mention to Sorin that the attending physicians are a 2 ton gorilla and a Unicorn, the man has had enough for one day.

Two robots came rolling by with a floating bed. "She will be fine. She just needs a little rest and a blood transfusion... or maybe another kiss" Dexter says cheekily.

The robots sped off, leaving Dexter to bring Sorin over to the medical room. When they reach there, the gorilla was busy setting up the blood pack to June's arm while the Unicorn was busy engaging her in conversation.

Dexter leads Sorin over to another bed and prepares an injection of tranquillizers. "I am gonna give you a jab to help you feel better now. On the count of three..."

At three, Dexter swiftly injects the needle into Sorin's arm, sending the mild tranquillizer serum to help with his nerves.

Once everything is settled, Dexter stands before the two and says, "So shall we get down to business?"
June Heartmen (played anonymously) Topic Starter

June sighed a little. "May I ask a quick question?" Her hair covered one eye and she would breathe deeply. Her eyes showed no emotion and she only seemed serious.
Sorin (played by Sabriel)

Sorin decides to trust Dexter for a little longer. When the needle jabs his arm Sorin pulls away quickly. Suddenly he feels a little sleepy, but relaxed.

The kitten climbs down onto Sorin's shoulder.
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

"By all means" Dexter says, "I will try to be forthright."

(Please try not to make such a short reply, it makes it difficult to play.)
June Heartmen (played anonymously) Topic Starter

June brushed a strand of hair to the side. "Knowledge is great and all,but is it really the correct? Tell me. They say cavemen were idiots but were they? What do you think?" June easily knew the answer because she thought about all possibilities at all moments of her life. She was able to combat and think,which not many could do...well...unless you're Sherlock. Her mere ideas would turn into golden plans that could not possibly fail.
Dexter Talbot (played by Jiubei)

The gorilla, Unicorn and Dexter stared at June for a second before the Gorilla and Unicorn fell down in laughter. Dexter just sighs and shakes his head.

"Just so you know, one of the denizens of the halls is a caveman. His name is Alan and he is also the head of my engineering department."

"Cavemen are not idiots, they are merely ignorant and uneducated since they had no foundation to work with. You also give them too little credit. Cavemen discovered uses for fire like cooking, warmth and light. They learned to make weapons and even invented the wheel. They even invented art, language, clothes, farming, hell the survivors of the ice age invented civilization."

He motions to all the books outside the medical room.

"Think of the grand possibilities they could have come up with if they even knew a fraction of all this. I mean I left Alan the disposal of my libraries for five years and he has learned more than most people who come in here to study for 10 years, and he still finds time to help me manage my engineering department"

"So it is not so much what I think, as much as what I have witnessed and actually know. And there is nothing ethically good or bad about knowledge, it is just truth. Only the people who wield this truth can be either right or wrong, but it is not my decision or my problem."
