As you get closer to the bush it starts to shake a bit. Excelsior! Hiding amongst the bush is a girl a couple years older than the boy who looks pretty upset to be found.

Girl: Awww shucks!

Little Boy: We did it! We found someone! Now we just have to get the other two and I won't have to be it anymore!

As you look around you spot a few more potential hiding spots.

Do you look:
Under the Item Shop's porch?
Up a tree?
A mailbox?
Under that big rock?
Somewhere else?

"Nailed it!" Aria cried triumphantly upon finding the girl, but then the kid told her that there were two others to be found. Well, it was to be expected, hide and seek with just two people was kind of lame, but still, it sort of detracted from the present success.

But whatever.

Deciding to follow her previous formula to find out the other two kids' hiding spots, believing it to be infallible just because it had worked once even though that was rather unreasonable, the young thief found herself pointing at a mailbox on the corner of the street. "To the mailbox!" She shouted out this time, before running towards the mailbox.

[SaintB]

The apothecary smiles.

Apothecary: Sure thing, here is everything I can sell you right now.
Antidote 20 keikec Cures the venom and poison status effects.
Pain Reliever 5 keikec Treatment for headaches and minor aches and pains, also a fever reducer.
Healing Salve 30 keikec Heals 20 HP
CaffPow® Energy Drink 25 keikec Restores 10SP

You have 35 keikec to spend. Do you:
Buy something?
No thanks just my dad's herbs today?

"I'll take some pain reliever as well, thanks. Never know when you're going to get a headache." Arion said, handing the Apothecary 5 keikec.

Accepting your money he turns over both the Pain Reliever and Medicinal Herb.
Here you go, have a nice day.

As you finish your transaction a stranger enters the store.

Dmitri clanked out of his house, striking an imposing... well... pose as his armor glittered in the sunshine. He was here on holiday from the great northern wastes of Rasputinsa, to see his enfeebled great-aunt once removed. His family put great stock in the far sundered ties of blood, and unfortunately the old lady had come down with a rather horrid case of the 'gout', whatever that was. Such diseases were unknown in the mighty land where the Tsar held sway, for a good dose of the Rus' natural antivenom- vodka- could cure even cancer, a particularly smashing state of affairs. It was said by his aunt, reflected Dmitri, that some form of smokeable plant leaf might help her recover from her debilitating illness, and so Dmitri set of in high dudgeon for the apothecary. His armor clanked egregiously as he walked, but a Knight of the Order of St. Putin would never be without his attire of battle-readiness.

Not that it was exactly battle ready. The thuggish customs agents had confiscated his real plate armor at the border as "dangerous and insurrectionist", or something of that sort. This suit was actually cobbled together of some old tin pie plates his great aunt had lying around, and wouldn't stand up to any more than his own skin, but Dmitri Illyich Yashnev had spent most of the night hammering it into something that at least looked the part.

To the apothecary he sallied, casting a baleful eye about for any Catholics or other similar miscreants, enemies of the great Putin, his lord and guiding light.

"Thanks, you too." Arion said to the Apothecary, and as they turned towards the door, an intense looking man wearing pie plates for armor walked into the door.

"Howdy, stranger." Arion greeted him. "What's with the getup?"

"To the mailbox!" She shouted out this time, before running towards the mailbox.

You rush to the mailbox with two children in tow who laugh and giggle the whole way; throwing open the lid you find... nothing. Looks like nobody was hiding in that mailbox afterall, and if they are they are REALLY good at staying out of site because you don't see a thing. There are still plenty of good hiding spots around here though.

Dmitri, his ice-gray eyes taking in the shop and the person who randomly spoke to him, walked over to the person behind the counter even as he answered the stranger's question. Stranger was the right word. Long green hair- green, like a verdant forest of pines in the summertime- the Rus' couldn't think of anyone else he had seen who had hair like that in Rasputinsa. Strange, but this was not a land he was familiar with. In time perhaps he would understand their exotic grooming customs and other such matters. For now, he simply had to know enough to resist the witches and demons and other such foul creatures he was certain lurked in this hot country so far from the purity of ice and snow and the Shirtless Saint.

"Erm" he coughed, slightly embarrassed as he finished walking over to the counter. "This is, for lack of a better word, my armor. I wear it always, for I am an adherent of the Order of St. Putin, and as such am bound to be ready ever to confront the forces of darkness and capitalism for the glory of the Motherland and Vladimir's Dynasty." The Rus' then turned his gaze towards the purveyor of goods of the establishment, obviously uncomfortable with the state of his armor.

"Excuse me, sirrah. Could I trouble you for some herbs to treat a nasty case of gout?"

[The Carlisle]

Lilian being a goodly knight, perished all criminal thoughts in her mind. And being a knight, her tasks should be done posthaste (or maybe because she's impatient).

"Excuse me good miller. The Apothecary has sent me to deliver your tonic to you," she said, kneeling while extending her hand with the tonic in it.

While slightly perplexed by the method of delivery the miller is obviously happy to have his tonic.

Miller: ALRIGHT! My tonic is here. Tonight is going to be the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! Someone is getting their krunk on tonight, with no hangovers tomorrow what what!

With a further exclamation of WHOOT! The miller starts off toward his house before turning around again.

Miller: Thanks kid! I would invite you to my party but it's for grownups only.

"Your welcome good sir," Lilian said," Now to turn in this quest." She then headed out of the Miller's place and headed back to the Apothecary to report to him.

"Excuse me, sirrah. Could I trouble you for some herbs to treat a nasty case of gout?"

Arion had heard and understood the stranger's words, but they were confused, and decided not to press the matter, because they didn't want to start an argument. Replying, they said, "Ah. I see. By the way, I'm Arion. And you are?"

Blushing slightly because her apparently flawless method had not only failed her, but also embarassed her in front of two kids, Aria closed the lid of the mailbox brusquely and looked around. There were still a few places to check, so she tried to not get discouraged and decided to keep looking instead. And so, she went over to a tree, this time without shouting anything, and looked up.

"Anyone up there?" She asked.

"Excuse me, sirrah. Could I trouble you for some herbs to treat a nasty case of gout?"

The apothecary nods.

Apothecary: Seems that gout is going around these days. I got some in the back, medicinal herb will cost you 15 keikec.

Do you:
Buy medicinal herb for 15 keikec?
Actually I'm here for something else?
Just browsing?

When you enter the store there are two other people inside and the apothecary seems to be busy with another customer, looks like you'll have to wait your turn. :s

There were still a few places to check, so she tried to not get discouraged and decided to keep looking instead. And so, she went over to a tree, this time without shouting anything, and looked up.

"Anyone up there?" She asked.

When you look up the tree you see an unmistakable human person amongst the branches but they have a clever plan to evade detection should someone come looking in their tree.

Tree Hiding Child: Uhm... Tweet tweet?

Tree Hiding Child: Meow?

Tree Hiding Child: *sigh* Okay you found me fair and square.

The Tree Hiding Child comes climbing down the tree, defeated.

Hide N Seek Boy: Huzzah! We found two of them, only one more to go! If we can find Porkins than I don't have to be it anymore!

Only one child away from victory (which tastes like delicious CaffPow® Energy Drink) and the Randomvillageville Hide N Seek hall of fame! You begin looking for another potential hiding place when you here a voice from beneath the item shop's porch which is probably the third and final child.

Porkins: HEEEEELP! I'M STUCK!
Do you:
Laugh at the poor fat kid?
Go to his rescue and pull him out?
Call an adult?

Do you:

Aria saw the kid up on the tree, and was about to tell him to come down already, when he heard him try to imitate some animals. She very nearly laughed, but kept herself from doing so because that would be rude. No point in being rude to a bunch of kids, and she was happy again either way. Like the boy she was helping out said, there was only one kid left to be found before he could stop being it, and, by extension, only one kid left before she could get her hands on that CaffPow!

She was in the middle of these thoughts when suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the shop's porch. Looking in that direction, she saw a fat kid who was stuck under the porch, and sighed, shaking her head at the sight, before walking up to the kid. "Hold on kid, I'll get you out of there in a moment." She said reassuringly, before grabbing the kid. She wasn't terribly strong, and he was rather fat, but she hoped she'd be able to get him out of there, and so, she started trying to pull him out.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Dmitri nods, and fishes the coins out of his pockets, plopping them down on the counter. "I'll just take the medicine, currently. Do you know where I can gather some herbs that would be good for a poultice?"

He then turned slightly toward the person addressing him, and bowed slightly at the waist.

"I am Dmitri, son of Yashnev, and my souls-name is Illyich. What brings you to this town, Arion?" The Rus' waited contentedly for his purchase to be bagged up and given to him.

"I live here. Just came to pick up some medicinal herb for my dad's gout, and some pain reliever in case I get a headache later. Anyways, it was nice meeting you, Dmitri." Arion said, before heading to the door.

Entering through the doorway was Lilian. Lilian collided into the boy combo, knocking her to the ground. "Oh! I'm sorry good boy. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," she said. She offered a hand to help up the boy. "If I may ask, what is your name?" she said.

You pull and tug and just when it seems that he won't budge the children join in. Your combined effort is just enough to slowly but surely free the kid from his hiding spot with a comically loud *POP*!

Porkins: You did it you saved me!

All Children: Hooray!

Hiide N Seek Boy: We did it, we found them all and I'm no longer it! Thank you so much Aria, here is that CaffPow I promised you. You're really good at hide n seek, maybe you could teach me sometime? But right now I have to play.

He turns to the other children.

Hide N Seek Boy: Ok, now I get to pick the game. Lets play tag, and Porkins is it!

The children run off in different directions laughing, except for poor Porkins who is quite chubby and has a hard time keeping up with them.

After heading to the back of his store the apothecary comes back with a paper bag that contains a strange pungent herb and some rolling papers.

Apothecary: Here you go stranger, thank you for your patronage. I get all my supplies from the caravan to Pinecrest Castle. I have heard that wild herbs grow in Dark Woods but it is dangerous to go there; I hear that there are packs of WOLVES and a REALLY ANGRY BEAR.

You have received medicinal herb

[G-Tech Corporation]

Dmitri nodded, and stuffed the herb pouch into one of his multudinous. He almost turned to go, then reconsidered.

"Actually, a quick question: I'm new in town, and actually looking for a job. I don't suppose you have any errands that need to be run or deliveries that need to be made?"

After thinking for a moment the apothecary frowns.

Apothecary: No, sorry I don't have anything that needs done. I already had someone run the only errand I had right now. Randomvillageville is a busy place though so I'm sure you can find something if you look around.

Upon receiving the CaffPow, Aria held it up triumphantly, feeling good after completing her mission. Sure, it hadn't been much, but hey, she had some fun, was acknowledged as the undisputed queen of hideouts in Randomvillageville (According to herself, mind you), and free items! Sweet! Speaking of which, she was about to drink up her well-earned CaffPow, but she changed her mind at the last moment. You never know when you might need an energy drink!

So, after watching the children for a bit, deciding that she didn't really have much else to do, she decided to go window shopping at the item shop.

So, after watching the children for a bit, deciding that she didn't really have much else to do, she decided to go window shopping at the item shop.

The item shop sells all kinds of bits and bobs, rings, nicknacks, paddywacks, necklaces, crowns, I Phone accessories, and other such sundries that are a little bit out of your price range right now. There is even a potluck basket in the middle of the store but alas, it's still too rich for your blood.

[Grenartia]

"I live here. Just came to pick up some medicinal herb for my dad's gout, and some pain reliever in case I get a headache later. Anyways, it was nice meeting you, Dmitri." Arion said, before heading to the door.

Entering through the doorway was Lilian. Lilian collided into the boy combo, knocking her to the ground. "Oh! I'm sorry good boy. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," she said. She offered a hand to help up the boy. "If I may ask, what is your name?" she said.

Arion took the woman's hand, and got to their feet, shrugging off the error in gender. They didn't like to air their gender out, especially to strangers. "I'm Arion, and its perfectly alright, you didn't mean any harm. You are?"

Sadly, only fifty keikec weren't enough to by some of those fancy things the item shop had for sale (Not that she even had all fifty, since some were for her dad's 'medicinal herbs'), and her savings had been spent on a pair of pants with a 33% higher Pockets stat. So after a while she left the item shop alone, and, noticing that there wasn't much more to do here in the North part of the village, decided to visit the warehouse.

[Altruistic Paladins]

To town, Niall went, no particular mission at hand from the Heroes R Us outlet in the Padraic Republic to seek-out justice, glory, heroism, and plenty of cash. On a less glorious note, there was also employment. Out of the land where pants and skirts were gender-neutral apparel and a bar fight which caused concussions was friendly rough-housing. Entering the town, no evil doers decided to leap out of the shadows and attack the ambiguously gendered-person wearing body-armor and carrying a bat for no apparent reason. It was probably the bell-bottoms that people wearing powdered-wigs thought were old-fashioned that caused the presumably fifty ninjas with nothing better to do than to split ten bucks fifty-ways to take pity. In need of correction, the item shop door opened so that Niall entered.

[The Carlisle]

"I'm Lilian, brave knight and adventurer!" she announced, posing with her Nerf sword pointed at the sky. She then went back to a normal position. "I was returning from a quest given to me by the Apothecary."
