Thread: The Wizard and the Goddess Amulet (w/Chaos)

No, I'm not. I like to think it's important to make a good first impression, and I like my clients to know how serious I am. He waited for her to sit down and explain the situation, hoping she would have more information. She did not. He groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose and leaned back in his chair for a moment, letting out an additional sound of exasperation. Alright... So let me get this straight.... He said, leaning forward and looking her in the face, but avoiding eye contact. A family heirloom has gone missing, obviously of some importance. Perhaps great importance. You've been plagued by nightmares, and you've only tried the most basic of means to get it back? He let out another groan, and shook his head as he stood up out of the chair. These nightmares, these important ones that you've been having, how long have these been going on? Weeks? Months? Years? And yet, you somehow think, that there's no ominous threat behind the amulet.... He He started to move from behind the desk, and it was clear he was irritated, growing increasingly so. From our stare it was clear to me. You have a Gift. A Family, Talent. One that you have been scared of, one you do not want. Perhaps it is connected to the amulet, most likely it is. Which one lead to the other I do not know, but it's pretty damn obvious Esmine SMITH, which we Know that is Not your real name! That BECAUSE, you have shied from your gift, and BECAUSE you neglected what I can only assume was a duty to SafeHold The Amulet from the Wrong Hands, we have a Very pressing issue to deal with now, Because Of YOUR Neglect To Your Family Duties!!! He slammed his hands down on the back of her chair and spun her around, slamming his hands onto the arms of the chair and stared her dead in the face, leaning incredibly uncomfortably close. You Will be hiring me, and I Will be tracking this amulet down. And When the crisis has been averted, you Will be getting training in your gift. You Will be registered with the Council, and receive your training from them. You will take your family's duties to protect the artifact safely, unless you get very damn lucky that the council thinks it is better in a vault. If that is the case.... He paused, and slowly pulled back, taking a breath and heaving a sigh, shaking his head in annoyance. I can only hope it is not some dark deity, or evil djinn. I can only hope it is simply a tool of power. But if you've been having nightmares since it's lost, I can only do the wise thing and fear the very worst... He slowly made his way back to the desk. Now... Esmine.... What is your last name? I need to know the names of as many family members as you can give me, in hopes I can research this amulet. I need photos and eveything you have on it. Today. he sighed, collapsing in his chair, staring at her with a mixture of feelings, annoyance, anger, frustration, sadness, and perhaps pity. How long ago, did you lose it? He said, finishing and finally letting her get a word in as he waited for her to look at him again and speak. If she however made a run for the door, which would not surprise him, it's happened before when he laid out the truth, he would have to chase her down. Hopefully though, she was smarter then that.
