[ Somebody manages to find a stable building, a bar that isn't half buried in sand, to shade yourselves from the sun. It's not much, but at least the building is still usable. More than a few people are bothered by a desert's heat, so it's best to find some shade and chill out for a while. Don't want anybody to get a heat stroke. And if you ask nicely, maybe the two visitors will split some of their rations with you. Doesn't hurt to ask, right? ]

[ There's some framed newspaper clippings up on the wall... something about a treasure buried in Death Hill. There's nothing concrete, all rumors and speculations, but you could always try asking the two visitors about it. They might have some ideas. ]

[You call this a bar? Well, at least it's out of the sun, so Gibson will be hiding in here.

He looks at the newspaper clippings, frowning slightly.]

Treasure?

Thaaat's right. Treasure!

[ Hey there bro, have a.... moe girl in an extravagant magician's outfit. ]

[You people and your clothing--That hat is pretty nice though.] Why would anyone put treasure out here?

Oh, you know. [ she smilesssss ] Pirates on the run from the Navy, needing somewhere to bury their treasure. Or maybe it was left behind by a wealthy landowner back before this town was buried in sand.

[Most of what she just said

Gibson's head]

But why not just take it with them?

I don't know. It's all rumors and legend.

It might not even be real? But then--

I guess there's no way to know without looking, is there?

I've always wanted to look for it! It'd be like an adventure!

[ She gives a sheepish giggle, though. ] Buuuut I guess we never really had a chance to actually go look.

Why not? What's holding you back?

It's too hot to go out during the day and look, and we usually don't have much time to spare when we come here for supplies.

Nighttime would be better for--wait, you get supplies here? Like what, sand?

magicpanties June 23 2011, 22:33:47 UTC
Of course not, that would just be silly. Our town has plenty of sand as it is.

There's a ship coming by to drop off some supplies. Grains, fruits, and vegetables, mostly.

[He chuckles.]

That makes more sense. Your village is out in this desert area then?

[Gibson didn't see much other reason to use this as a meeting place, otherwise.]

That's right. [ Bounces in her spot. ] It's surrounded by lots of sand and there's not much there, but it's home.

[Gibson grins.]

Sounds like my kind of place. I come from a colony out in the middle of nowhere myself.

[He gestures around to the ruined town.]

Looks like not everyone's so lucky, though.
