The wishing well.

[shadow]

Shadow sits unseen near the wishing well, waitng for a customer to ask for what he so dearly desires. Shadow veiws the sign next to the well that reads,
"All wishes will be granted as according to pay given, suggested price is 50, the higher the pay, the quicker it is done. No one shall wish for anything that cannot be acquired by the hands.
NO REFUNDS"

[Kimnas]

Kimnas wandered up to the well and began to look in it and wondered what it was.

"Hello? Anyone here?"

Kimnas turned around and started looking around the nearby surroundings for anyone.

[shadow]

Shadow roll his eyes at the person prowling around. Why can't people accept that he is hard to find and just put their money in the well, make their wish, and leave.
But making sure to avoid detection, Shadow puts a stronger covering on himself and waits patiently for the pest to give up search.

[Kimnas]

Kimnas thought to himself, 'well, might as well toss a coin and wish...' and with those thoughts he pulled out a few coins of change and said quietly to himself...

"I wish that I would get a good friend to accompany me in my sad and boring life."

And with those words Kimnas walked away feeling quite silly actually wishing and spending some coins on something which almost always never works.

[shadow]

Shadow wondered why any man woudl ask for a friend of him. Did they not know that Shadow simply had no friends. It came with the job. His only companions seemed to be the dogs he met on the way for his expeditions. Shadow had a way with dogs and so none of them ever bothered him, and in essence, because of their lack of trifle, helped him out instead. Shadow now began seriously thinking of getting a dog... but where would he find something like that?

Shadow then quietly retrieved the money from the well, the thought of a dog suddenly far from his head.

[Amry]

The seamstress Amry trudges up to the well and peers inside. It would appear that wishes were not very popular things to make nowadays, judging by its sad emptiness... but maybe that will give her wish a better chance.

She fishes two coins out of her pocket and tosses them in, saying as fervently as she can,

I wish for some excitement. Please, let this town be a little less boring, if just for a day.

She leans over the well again and watches her money sink to the bottom. Satisfied, she walks away. wondering aloud, I swear I saw Kimnas coming back from here... where did his money go? She glances back to see if she somehow missed someone sitting beside the well, but sees nothing. With a shrug, she continues on her way.

[oldwolf]

Old Wolf enters the place and runs into Amry in the process. Old wolf apologizes with much expression, his way with people showing in every second of the apology, and he contues to the well. Wishing not to be heard, he throw 50 coins into the well, and whispers,

"There's a man coming into town today... he will go directly into the tavern when he arrives... I want him dead."

[shadow]

Shadow hears the old man's request, but Shadow does not deal in death. Why are people asking him such odd things, how is Shadow supposed to make a man happy? How is Shadow supposed to liven up the village? And please! why should Shadow kill a man. Shadow retrieves his money from the well, and then quietly sneaks into the village.

[Amry]

((Well, you are kinda the wishing well... isn't it what you're here for?

...hang on a sec... I want my money back!))

[shadow]

((did u not notice the sign... only things that can be obtained with the HANDS... i know i didnt specify... but old wolf... i dont want to kill anyone either!

(but thx for your money anyway )))

[Kimnas]

((Hands can obtain a knife which holds the key
To death and that which lies beyond
Hands can obtain a mug of beer which holds glee
And this is a ghetto poem mahn...

Proud of it...okay...I'll shut up lol.))

[Amry]

[shadow]

((are you threatening to kill me or something?))

[Kimnas]

((No, simply stating that death can be achieved with hands. Hands throw the knife which kills the man. )
