Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 2:00 pm"Well didn't we just learn that the staff don't have all the keys?"
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 2:17 pm"I doubt we can just shake the key to the front doors out of a book."
Re: Meet me in the valley

Re: Meet me in the valley

Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 2:50 pm"We'll forget we were looking."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 3:09 pm"Or worse."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 3:40 pm"Yeah I... I don't want to find out."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 4:40 pm"So what then? We just give up?"
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 4:44 pm"We keep our eyes sharp. We look to see if there's other ways to get around the hotel."
Re: Meet me in the valley

"We defend ourselves at all possible."

Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 5:56 pm"Easy for you to say," she muttered with a wince at the poker.
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 6:17 pm"Then here," he said, holding it out for, "You take it."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 6:21 pm"N-no... no, I don't want it..." She paled.
Re: Meet me in the valley

"Sorry..."
"Sorry..."

Nailah shakes her head faintly as if to clear it. "I don't think a fire-poker is going to help much in that place anyway."

Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:29 pm"Aye. There's... there's not any benefit in... sinking to that level."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:38 pm"Well I for one am done feeling defenseless."

Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:47 pm"I don't... I don't want to give up any more of myself," she mumbled.
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:57 pmHe cast Sam a concerned look.
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 9:07 pm"You're not giving yourself up."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 9:10 pm"That's... that's not me, Miss Weaver."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 9:21 pmHe, for one, wasn't getting what Sam meant. Surely it wasn't that defending oneself was a bad thing.
Re: Meet me in the valley

Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 9:39 pm"No, I... suppose I don't."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 11:52 am"Something like... what?"
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 12:22 pm"Nothing," she insisted.
Re: Meet me in the valley

Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 2:35 pm"Hey now. It's all good."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 4:52 pm"All good?" She asked Nailah, her expression livid. "All good?"
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 4:56 pm"W-well right this moment. I just... I mean..."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 5:19 pm"Nothing's alright, Miss Weaver."
Re: Meet me in the valley
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 5:23 pm"Hey," Steve said as sternly as a man at least twice his age, "Let's not start turning on each other."
