Unexpected Visitor
Lucius Antonius Aquilla rarely ventured out of the city of Nova Roma deep in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, but his mission was quite urgent and had brought him New Orleans. His grandson Cornelius lived here with his teammates and Lucius needed their help.

With little difficulty he made his way through the city and eventually came to the headquarters of the Champions. He double checked the address and satisfied that he was at the right place he knocked on the door.

	Rose hadn't thought they were expecting company. She had just been doing some household chores when she heard the door being knocked upon so she went to go see who it was. "Hello? Can I help you sir?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He offered the young girl a smile. "My name is Lucius Aquilla and I am here to see Cornelius Drake. May I please speak to him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course come right in sir," Rose replies cheerfully. She's rather friendly for a warrior trained in K'un-L'un. "I know he hasn't left today so he should be around here somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's no problem," she says as she starts to lead him back towards the kitchen. "Corey is.... one of the first friends I made since my return to the 'modern' world. He has been very understanding when it comes to my unease with most modern technology." She does like cars and motorcycles as they're very useful. She just wishes they weren't so loud.

	Corey just catches the edge of this conversation as he comes out of the kitchen. "Hey, citizens of proper civilizations have to stick tog--" he blinks, cutting himself off. "Grandfather!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The world can be a little overwhelming to those not used to it," Lucius said. He smiled brightly when he saw his grandson. "Cornelius! Just the person I came to see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She flashes them both a wide grin. "Shall I leave you two to talk then? I do not wish to interrupt family matters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey smiles and goes to shake his hand. "No, I'm sure it's okay, Rose. Grandfather, this is Rose Knight-Rand, in case it wasn't obvious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina opened a portal to Nova Roma and held it open while the others went through. Corey's grandfather got a hug and a kiss to his cheek before he stepped through. Irina also sent back a bottle of her best Russian vodka. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Nick goes directly through without hesitation or ceremony to it, bringing his bike along. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Where shall we start looking," Rose asks curiously. She has just her standard clothing on from K'un-L'un. The warrior looks like she could easily blend into the jungle if she wished. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick follows along, but cautiously. This is a place of different gods, different emotions, different sins and standards than he's used to, and the demon is definitely stirring. He just hopes that whatever the sins of the thieves, its worse than any of the locals when he tries to tap into the Rider's power. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose finds herself in awe of this place. It's very pretty. She is though also careful to not offend with the looks she keeps sending ever which way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When the other were away and off to Nova Roman, Irina turned to Jenny. "Ready to scour some stores and dealers?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: In New Orleans tabula_rasa 2012-03-02 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	"If it wasn't so serious, this would be the ideal way to spend an afternoon," Jenny said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: In New Orleans perenawska 2012-03-02 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," Irina said. "When this is over, we'll have to spend a day doing just that." They left the Champions' HQ and headed for the first shop on the list. They entered the small store and found an small elderly man behind the counter. The shelves of the store was filled with various antiques and knicknacks. "Cozy," Irina commented when they entered.

	Jenny put on her best smile for the proprietor. "It looks like it's hiding treasures," she said, just loud enough for the elderly man to overhear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're looking for a knife," Irina said. "A Roman dagger. We were wondering if you had any or know where we can find one. A friend of ours is big into Roman history." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: In New Orleans tabula_rasa 2012-03-05 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"We thought we'd try a few of the antique stores here," Jenny added. "If you don't have one in your inventory, perhaps you might have contacts and would be willing to broker a purchase for us. For the usual percentage, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: In New Orleans nextgen_misc 2012-03-05 04:22 am UTC (link)
	The old man frowned a bit. "I am sorry I do not have any Roman daggers. I would give my entire store to have one in my possession. However, I do know someone who specialized in ancient items." He dug around in a small wooden box on the counter. "I have her card here somewhere. Unfortunately she's based in Chicago." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
