"No. No more talking." Mark says, becoming suddenly squirrely again. "I'm screwed enough as it is." And out he goes into the hall.
While she's on the phone, Sarah sees the one called Mark come out, jump in a start, seeing her see him, then take off down the hall.
"Sarah, you have to remember, not everyone is as lucky as you." Tobrias answers. "Rituals are the only means for a lot of magic users to gain the energy they need. And they're not always sacrifices either. Remember the ritual dance book? From your youth?" There's a slight pause before he continues. "If the Headmaster is working on a ritual, then it's something big. You were right to start this on your own initiative. Anything else of note?"

Seeing Mark, Sarah replies quickly to Tobrias "Nothing right now. I gotta go, our lead's getting away." Sarah hangs up the phone and runs after Mark, yelling "Wait up!"

Coop followed Mark out, and when Sarah went after him, he followed her after glancing to see if anyone was watching them. when he catches up to Sarah, he asked, " So what did Tobrias say?"

Sarah smirks "Oh you know.. the usual. Look into it, don't assume the worst." Sarah continue to run after Mark, hoping to catch up with him.

Mark manages to turn a corner, and finally evade the two of you. As you fun down the hallway, another poster for a fête at the Accountant's Dilemma stares them in the face. In the bottom corner is a picture of a clown and a caption: "Entertainment provided for Children, noon to 3:30."

" Darn, we're going to miss the ballon animals." Coop sputtered playfully as he looked at the poster. "Maybe we'll run into him later. So now what, track down the brat pack or or go hobnobbing?" He wasn't sure he wanted either answer.

Sarah is quiet for a moment before answering "I think we should check this out" gestures to the poster, she adds. "Maybe we'll find some clues there."

Coop tried to hide his releif with a grin. " I knew you wanted to get me dressed up. Do I really have to wear a suit?" He added, mock whining.

Suddenly, and for no reason, the GM tookover to review some key, important, or facts or whatever!!!
1. The to-do at the Accountant's Dilemma is not today, but later in the week.
2. Tobrias warned them that the Headmaster, Joran, intends to use magic for some kind of heist.
3. Be subtle!
4. Go to 3
5. End
...
As the scene resumes, Coop and Sarah get off the bus at the transit station at the base of the Golth Spire. The tower's black glass shoots up into the sky, as the enter, and head up near the top for the Accountant's Dilemma.

Sarah grins at Coop and teases, "Can you blame me? I'll bet you look really good in a suit. Besides," she adds with a wink as the elevator heads to the top floor, "it means I'll be getting dressed up too."

" That makes the misery worth it then." Coop sighed, knowing he wouldn't win anyways, trying to hide a grin. " What exactly are we looking for here anyways?" He scratched his head.

As Coop scratches his head, the elevator door finally opens on the AD's floor. The Elvish Maitre D stands at a podium. The place is unusually quite for mid-evening. The look on the Maitre's face says Oh, wonderful, more of the unwashed masses before his mouth opens and says "Hello, and welcome to the Accountant's Dilemma. How may I help you?" In perfect intonations.

Sarah grins and winks at Coop, not being fooled by his complaining. Steping off the elevator, Sarah smiles politely and says "Hi, we're interested in getting tickets for the fete at the end of the week. Where would we go to accomplish this?"

"Oh." Says the Maitre D. "I'm terribly sorry, but all the tickets are sold out." He explains, geuninely. "A celebration such as this engenders the immediate attention of those than can afford, as I'm sure you understand."
Looking the two over and grinning yummily at the sight of Coop, he adds. "Well, if you're certain you want in, maybe go to the kitchen around back. He might find you a job you can do." And his pefrectly-postured body raises a perfectly appointed sleeved arm, his white-gloved hand pointing genially to a hallway off the side of the main entry hall. "This way."

Coop gave Sarah an ' are you serious?' look as they started to follow. Once they had let the maitre d get ahead, he leaned over and whispered to her, " Did that guy just check me out?"
