(kxllerclaws) There was a knock at Samuel’s door before someone poked their head in. “Samuel, are you prepared?” How strange, it looked to be Charles, the old man he met while they were on a mission in Drekigarde. Only, his appearance was different. More simplistic, perhaps even polygonal? “I understand Karkaton is not the most favorable place to be, but we could use your expertise on the field. It shouldn’t take long, if we set out now.”
Whaaaat was he talking about. Karkaton? That certainly was not on Popstar’s map. Or anyplace the Chilly might be familiar with, for that matter.
“Hold on.” Charles(?) paused. “This isn’t the inn. Erm, my apologies; carry on.”
And the door gently closed shut. Should Samuel feel inclined to check, no one would be behind it, though a bit of strange purple smoke would be wafting about.
A knock at his door wasn't entirely unusual, though he certainly wasn't expecting anyone. One thing he also wasn't expecting was a familar, ish, face. The Chilly was absolutely not prepared for his visitor, jolting in his chair. Though they didn't know each other especially well, Samuel recognized the voice of Charles with ease. His face, however, was only partly recognizable.
What's more, none of what he was telling him made sense. Was Karkaton a location within Drekigarde, perhaps? Even if that were true, their shared mission there was long over now. Why would he suddenly be prompting him to return? The questions flooding his mind almost made Samuel miss the old man leaving. "Ah, wait!" The detective called out, but the door was already closed.
Hopping out of his chair, the Chilly raced to the door, swinging it open. Only a trace of smoke was left as any indication someone had been there. Samuel looked up and down the hallway, finding nothing more. Bringing a mit to his head, he tried to see past his bewilderment. Was this another prank? Charles hardly seemed the pranking type, but... "I... think I'll need to put a pin in this one." He mumbled, turning back into his office.
