The Main Story.

"B-because...because I-I can offer you a high p-place" she stuttered. "Are you R-Robin Hood?"

"Robin Hood? That man who claims to help the poor, but doesn't give anything to the Tinners? No. I'm Hope. The bleeding tophat. The unknown traveller. But why do you search for Robin Hood?"

"B-because I just h-have"-she took a deep breath-"because s-someone asked me to f-find him."

"I have to 'find' him." Hope said. "I have 'things' to do." He shrugged. "You're being awfully vague. Who is giving you orders? There are some people I don't want as my enemy. I might spare you."

Ravena thought about this. She didn't want to die but she also didn't want to invoke Theodore's wrath. She qorried her lip gently. Tamzen had meanwhile made a run for it, trying to find some help.
"I am not s-sure if he w-wil appreciate me t-t-telinng his name" Ravena finally said.

''You're damn right he wouldn't.''Said Theodore who was slowly walking around the two. ''Now, what is it this time.'' His cheery facade was nowhere in sight, he was dead sirius. (WHAT?! NOOO?? SIRIUS ISN'T DEAADDD!!!)


(Yeah he does Mo,read his Bio.)

''Of course,but she's probably out wnjoying herself isn't that a good thing,Rosie?''Said Anthony (THE KING). (Also, I'm now picturing her as Rose,okay then.)

''E-erm,sir?''Asked Camille expectantly.

"I take it that you are the one looking for Robin Hood?" Hope asked. "Well, I'm not him. I don't claim to help the poor. I help only the people that choose to help me. Now, I didn't catch your name. Maybe because you didn't say it yet. What was it again?"

Ravena had been taught never to give her name to anybody in situations like this. She took a deep breath, turned around and tried to make a run for it, screaming all the way, hoping that someone would hear her and check her out.

"Oh great, I ask something and she runs away screaming. Is she always such an attention-seeker?" Hope asked the man, who seemed to be her 'boss'. "Oh well, it's not like I care about things like that. But if there's a screaming girl, the guards are never too far away. I fear I must leave before they get here." Hope said. He pushed up his glasses, and sighed. "I don't doubt that our paths will cross again, but please don't confuse me with that foolish Robin Hood. I'm nothing like him. If you want to know who I am, ask the guards about the Bleeding Tophat. You'll hear the most interesting stories." He said with a grin.

Before the man could answer, Faith landed on his shoulder and they ran off. There were more places they needed to be. After a bit of parcour over the rooftops, Hope found himself in the Silver district. He strolled through a couple of alleys before he got to another store. He didn't intend on robbing this one though.

"Rosalina!" He said as he walked in. "I haven't seen you in a while. How's life?"

Theodore massaged his temples as he walked away, dissapearing into the crowd. ''I need new accesories.''He mumbed. Phineas crept up on his shoulder and whispered in his ear:''So,what do we think of this a-'Bleeding Tophat- guy?'' Theodore waived his hand hand dismissively:''Eh, show off, thinks he's such a big shot. But,he might come in handy.''


Matt huffed,the conversation has pretty much died and she wasn't too happy 'bout that.

Camille was being annoyed. (AHEM,KIITTT,AHEM..)

(I fail. I'll just jump in with Ravena when I think it's needed.)

"Yes?" Jasper asked, still soaked. "Oh, it's you, miss." Henry was still laughing. "You coming, miss Matt?" the rabbit asked.

''You can bet your sorry ar-Erm...I mean,yes I'd love to.''Said Matt as she jumped into the boat.

"Where do you need to go, miss?" Jasper said as he sat down, shivering because of the cold.

''Well, there's a shop I need to o to, in the Sliver Zone.''

Jasper nodded. "We need to go there, too." He enjoyed the sun and the silence for a while.

''The Silver zone? Or the shop?''Inquired Camille.

"The Silver Zone" Jasper explained as they arrived. Henry quickly hopped off the gondola, followed by Jasper who held his hands out to the ladies.

''O-oh, right.''Camille answered.

Matt was bored so she started splashing Henry.

Henry squeaked and hopped away. "Hey, please don't do that!"
"Shall we?" Jasper asked.

Nizar was very bored.

''Let's.''Said Matt as she motion for the gondolier to take them to the SILVER zone. Euterpe (her Daemon) hopped after Henry (She's an owl.)

Jasper nodded. He stared at the water, still overjoyed with his sudden promotion to Court Engineer. And a little phased by the fact that he suddenly had an apprentice. He was barely a legitimate engineer.

"Soooooo..."Began Matt.

"So?" Jasper asked, turning tolook at her. Henry wasstaring at the owl.

''Did you know..Sow -bugs are extremely useful creatures.''Said Matt in a patheic attempt to keep the conversation going.

(Oh wow this is going NOWHERE. Mo, grab yourself a keyboard and wake Rosalina up already!)
