"what...um... no, i had to...um...use the bushes, yea thats it"
*she isn't buying it*
*waves hand* "you will go to sleep."

"its only an illusion, we aren't really leaving. Your just sleeping...what back packs.. Go away"

*her mouth drops open*...are you tellin my to go away?!!! *turns away*...men...*grumbles*

"(never did trust her, then again she is a good meat shield)"
"Fine you can tag along if you like, but I get your share of the reward"
"thief if I may" *holds out a paper* "says here in your contract"

REads doc... "he is correct and" reads more "And oh that to... basically if you tag along you have to pay a taging along fee but that may be paid in instalments or you can simply pay it in one lump sumwith the treasure at the end of the trip..." falls over "sigh this armor is freakin heavy any one here want to done it i just want the cool cape..."

ooc: hey that was very good, notible of thief himself

"thank-you thief...you know you could take the cape OFF the armor then attach it to your clothes"

"Yeah it wa a lot less spacious earlier speaking of which i came in with this bag" as Steve holds up a bag thats bigger than jimmy and puts it into a storage cube as a guard walks by...

"well you guys stay here while I get the reward"

"Alrighty... I'll wait here and play with my new toy" Steve says as he pulls out a weird compass looking thingiey that doesn't point north and is really shiney...

"to be honest my reward is good enough. But feel free to buy some things if you like."
*Walks off*

The princess had not said much on the trip home. She had been ecstatic when the heroes finally arrived to save her, and was overjoyed to see there were several to choose from. They had even followed the Olde Heroe's Kode and allowed the villain to live, so he could come back stronger than ever, to vanquish again. But there was something odd about this group. She considered her options. The red mage appeared to be their leader, which was a sign that he would be a strong king one day. But he was also quite callous and even ruthless at times, and too many old copies of Min/Maxim magazine were stuffed into his backpack. The rogue had, well, roguish good looks, but she feared she would wake up one morning to find he had sold the whole kingdom. The wizard excited her. He smelled of Chaos, and of pie. He was also possibly irreconcilably evil. This would not make it easy to take him home for dinner with her parents. The warrior was traditionally the paramour of choice, and this one seemed to be very sweet-natured and trusting. But he, too, seemed a little...off. There was another warrior, a female, who seemed a good deal more competent. But how could this be? Female...AND a fighter? This was not something she had learned about at the palace. And wasn't there a white mage somewhere? A MALE white mage? Things had been so confusing lately...

Perhaps I do not see what makes them so heroic, the princess thought to herself. If I cannot see it, they will simply have to tell me.

"Very well, then!" she announced imperiously to the party. "I shall be wed to one hero among you, and only he shall inherit the prestige, power, responsibility, cool car, etc, that go along with it. So, go on, then. Tell me why I should pick YOU."

Well after looking at what you offering. I am mighty, have excellent leadership skills, am a mysterious person, and was technically the one that saved you since I literally carried you out.

"Hmm, I see. You demonstrate initiative, as well as an almost inhuman desire to screw over your party. I'll let you know if you qualify for the interview. Next!"


OOC: Sorry, I kinda get online sporadically, gotta go to the library to get on...I'm tryin' to keep up with you guys...

Initiative, girl I saved your butt when the others were going after pie?

OOC: Gee, I hope this didn't die...I thought it was pretty fun.

"Wellll...."
*looks doubtful*
"Let me...hear from the other qualified applicants, okay? Okay. Next? Please?"

ooc: ok I am starting a new chapter. I will also try to get all the others to come back
