Well the man’s sudden and blunt rejection and switch of tones, clearly indicated something was NOT right here and his demand for them to leave didn’t help anybody.” Wait please, our friend felt stalked too like some of those missing. We were just trying to help!” She pleaded to him with nary an effect. She quivered a lip, gave a pleading expression but it was all in vain! He was not succumbing to her pleas. Maybe she should have pulled the coat open… men seemed way more likely to listen to her if she was in her usual desert attire for some reason. Her sisters had told her cause men liked her dancing outfit very much and that she should make full use of that as often as she could. She was just about to try to reject his honestly unreasonable demands when Kathryn instead agreed. She gave him a final pleading look as she followed the big warrior woman out of the silversmithy.

“...” Kosara just casually plopped down and sat on the steps, trying to figure what to do now. She had a very sad look going on even if she wasn’t trying to cry. She just wanted the adventure and to help! The tiefling woman was ready to try to help the man with his troubles if he agreed to talk, but it seemed something spooked him hard about the missing people… She heard Kathryn cuss and looked at her friend.” Well… we can… hang about and keep an eye out...” She suggested and looked around briefly.” There are other places we could also visit. Madam Marci and her girls might have info.” She quietly said, reminding of the warrior woman of their encounter with the madam of the brothel.

“Maybe we should meet up with V and Marita? Then we can decide how to proceed afterwards. It’s not like we are completely lacking in ways to progress this investigation.” She concluded her logic, but she swore in her mind that she was going to come bang on the silversmith’s door for a longer time later. Then she hopped up, her face returning to the bright, energetic and optimistic expression she usually had.” Come on, Kathryn, let’s go!” The tiefling exclaimed grabbing at the warrior woman’s left sleeve to pull her along.”Adventure awaits! If we dally we are losing time better spent adventuring! To completely misquote that weird man we met yesterday ‘a fine day for adventuring ain’t it? Huah huh!’, Let’s goooooooooo!!”

"Yes~!" Kosara most happily proclaimed as the door was opened following her very persuasive percussion door argument as of why the silversmith should talk with them! The moment hte door was opened the energetic pale tiefling rushed inside as a child expecting to find cookies into the room. Alright she didn't know what to expect, so she was pleasantly surprised of all the interesting new things on display. There was a forge in here too, probably to be expected with the word smith in the name, but one could never be certain. She also hadn't ever been inside a smithy before. It was dark... maybe cause it was boarded up? Probably, her eyes, so used to the brightness of the sun had difficulty adjusting at first before she heard the voice of the man telling them that he had a crossbow and that they should put some rings on their tongues.

"Ohh... ahmmm... alright? Sure! Tongue rings!" Kosara exclaimed as she followed Kathryn's example and quickly got hold of one of the metal bads, the weapons lining the counters forgotten for the time being as she peered at the ring in her hands. It was thin, elegant and quite pretty. Hard to distinguish it's material from the orange light glow of the fire, but after a bit of peering and a bit of rubbing on her coat with narrow eyes, Kosara concluded that it was almost certainly silver as she expected. Then she opened her mouth, putting her tongue out to put it on, before freezing for a bit, narrowing her eyes again and pulling away a bit." Hey, this is not a tongue ring! You cannot put this ring on your tongue. I've seen tongue rings, some of my sisters had some!" She began to object, but looked at Kathryn who made some silly sounds and then burst out into laughter.

The tiefling laughed hard at the amusing sounds that the warrior woman made." Ohh you meant put it ON our tongues! Alright! I thought you meant actual tongue rings! Can you make real tongue rings though? I might have to buy some as souvenirs for my sisters from my travels. Morgiana would love one!" She began babbling a she stuck out her tongue and put the ring on it." Eeeer ah idd i..! Mmm... 'astes me'alic..." She kept it on her tongue for a bit more, before she began to play around with it and finally pulled it off." Tastes weird... wonder why. My sister said gold's better, hey do you work with gold beside silver too? Can I order tongue rings? Maybe 2 sets? One gold and one silver? After the festival when you are back at work of course. If you don't make tongue rings regular rings could work too!" She asked, blinking at their host. Then her eyes moved over to Kathryn and Kosara suddenly recalled their task here.

"Ohh yeah! I almost forgot we are here investigating weirdness related to some coffin, barrel and tree goblins and now missing people too. We heard you've closed up shop and some thought you missing... I think? Seemed like a good place to look for clues!" She quickly and directly told their new friend that likely really didn't want to be friends with them right now, but too bad, Kosara had decided on the friendship already." Now I'm thinking Mr Cloverwish is plotting something since he's so grumpy! I had this theory that they may have captured you and hidden you inside the municipal building along with all the other missing people!"

Heya, everything alright? Been a while.

Lily was barely moving honestly. A body that kept healing and regenerating didn't mean she was a boundless wellspring of energy. After over 14 hours of being on foot, working heavy lifting work, no time to have meals or rest, she was about as dead on her feet as one could be. At this point she was way beyond giving any care to what happens with the villains and 'heroes'... Not like she wouldn't be dragged into it if somebowdy wanted her to be. The tracker on her ankle meant her locations were always known to the Gotham PD.

To her susrprise somebody was calling out to her to hurry it up. She looked up at the man. She didn't recognize him, wondered why she cared. Gotham was not a city where most people survived if they cared for others. He also ahd that peculiar looks about him that suggested one of hte many denizens that weren't officially existing in the city aka the city rats/homeless population. Struggling to walk a bi faster, she made her way over to the other side down the alleyway, making way away from the huge grocery store just in time as one of the walls burst in a shower of concrete, bricks adn chunks of the metal shelving used inside. From it came forth a trio of Joker dressed hoodlums that were waving guns about and having a firefight with presumably the police. By this point she had managed to reach the end of the alleyway and the corner of the building leading to the streets proper.

She barely managed to turn the corner before everything turned black for a moment and she just lurched forward, leaning on the nearby wall and sitting down on some stairs." Hey, thank you for the warning... Most wouldn't bother." She told the man who had decided to provide some measure of help even if it was just a warning. The gunshots echoing from the alleyway turned hectic as screams about 'the bat' began. It wasn't hard to figure out what was happening in the alleyway right now.

Kosara’s jolly door drumming song, that may or may not have a jolly rhythm of a questionable piece of folk music, suddenly halted at the screaming that came from the other side of the door. There were people there indeed! They succeeded!’ Wait, what did we succeed in again?’ She thought for a moment, having lost the original goal of this in a bit of a slip of the mind, but soon recalled they were searching for clues, recovering from the surprise from the person on the inside of the building screaming at them. A thing that had apparently also gained attention from the crowds around.

“You are alive!” She cheerfully exclaimed with a huge bright smile.” Hey, we just really need to talk with you! Pretty please?” She called to the hidden person.” Look, it’s not that we are searching you for silversmithing work! Besides if you do not talk to us, I’m just gonna keep drumming on your door until you very much do now that I know you are inside!” She called out with a huge grin. She might have been a generally good person, but Kosara could be a stubborn as a mule when she really wanted something. Kind of like a child. Actually yes, she was very much like a child at times.”Also that choice of language was very very bad and impossible to accomplish!”

“So I’m pretty sure, nay certain, it’s for the best for us to talk! That way I don’t keep banging on your door, what do you say? I’m sure we can help you with something or other for your help?” She continued on and she could continue with this for a long long time indeed! Now that they knew he was inside, she wasn’t going back until one of two things happened. Either he talked to them or Cravenwish showed up to mess with the plans at which point she might as well go and check out the municipal building later! The white tiefling really hoped he talked though. Saved her the trouble of making music out of his door. Though that did make her wonder how long it would be before he snaps and opens the door if she kept knocking on the door… It was a fair question after all.

"Yes, sir... thank you." Lilliane quietly spoke, head lightly tilted forwards, giving this bowed look as she nodded to the obese man in front of her. That was her boss and she absolutely hated him. Lily worked as a as general worker in a grocery store chain and this man was the guy who ran this store. Her tasks here varied widely from day to day, but since they were constantly understaffed to limit expenses, the guy was making a lot of money since he made them work harder while keeping the money that would usually be spend on more workers. He had friends in the rest of the stores that allowed him to hide it from the people who actually owned the entire thing, so as long as the profits stood as they should be, he was scott free to do whatever. She was one of the about dozen workers here and she was tired, overworked every day. Still it was one of the few places that had agreed to hire her and he did so by cutting her pay even more.

She was currently obediently waiting for her salary to be given and he was instead berating her and abusing her psychologically. He liked to do so, but she wasn't breaking. After a while, a few indirect insinuations, a few not so veiled ones and a lot of shouting, he tossed the envelope with her salary to her. It was lighter than what it should be, but she was used to it. With all her willpower she walked out normally out of his office and headed to the changing rooms in the back of the big store. She took off her uniform there and by the time she began walking towards the staff entrance on the back, she was already shuffling her feet tiredly. It had been a 12 hour shift... 12 hours of night shift that had somehow gotten even more stretched out since it was well into the day now.

Just as she reached the back entrnace, there was a big crash, sound of broken glass and shouts as something was apparently happening. Chances were that it was a store robbery, but given the chaos it was more likely that one of the many 'villains' was on a rampage. A rather regular thing in Gotham. She had no idea who it was and didn't really care. Happening across events like this was the norm in this blasted city. So she just walked out hte door, leaving the chaos behind and with a tired shuffle walked onwards, following the back alleyway towards her destination. She had to stop by the bank to deposit her salary. The sounds of battle, crumbling concrete and police sirens barely registered with her. Maybe... she should see if she could move to Metropolis...
