Hieroglyph Hunts and Holidays Arranged!

[Caitlin Pierce]

*An airy shop with jampacked shelves and warm lamplight greets the entering customer. A curly haired young witch is sitting at a table with a black Maine Coon asleep beside her. On seeing she has a visitor, she jumps excitedly to her feet*

Hey there, and welcome! My name is Caitlin Pierce, one of the leading archaelogical experts on tribal magic. Ever heard of Indiana Jones? A poor Muggle comparison of what we do at the board of Heiroglyph Hunters!

This shop is for you to examine or buy any lucky artifacts or historical pieces, some acquired at great risk from the shamans of South America or the Yeti Mages of Tibet!

Also we do holiday arrangements ^^ Ever wanted to visit Eygpt and the relics of the Great Pharoah Wizards? Or maybe the Goblin Caves in Australia, newly restored by the wizards and witches of the Outback!

Feel free to wander around and peruse at will!

* wanders around picking up various dusty looking things, eventually comes across an orb type thing with odd writing on it*

excuse me, could you tell me about this please?

[pinky p]

*shuffles in excitedly carrying a velvet back with something moving around in it* i was wondering if you could tell me what these are, they were my late grandfathers and he left them to me... i don't know why *empties contents of bag onto a table, revealing a mass of shiny sand moving about on it's own*

[Caitlin Pierce]

That? Oh, that was from a Native American tribe, a wolf charming orb that connects with wolf spirits. A little off the point, but if you keep a little bit of wolf fur near it, it glows a pretty silvery/amber colour... Maybe you know someone who owns a wolf? The writing is in wolf scratchings, I have the translations around here somewhere....

*turns to move some paper friutlessly around her desk*

But it's a gorgeous artifact, don't you think??

*smiles brightly*

[pinky p]

can you tell me what this stuff is? *points at sand, which has taken the shape of a bird and is flying about room*

[Barry Trotter]

wow cool sand

i might know a wolf. i mean someone who owns one.

thankyou very much

i might have another look around to see if thre is anything else interesting in here

[gecko]

*enters shop and mutters to himself*
wow, what amazing things!

*notices a young with with curly hair*

Excuse me, do you organise holidays to Tibet?
I would like to do experiments with some new magic I've learned,
and it can only be done there!

Oh! PP, you are indeed lucky...
*stares open mouthed at the sand which flutters down and shimmers into a circular heap on the table*

This is a specimen of the Morphing sands of Cyrinae, a province of Ancient Eygpt. You can either treat it as a pet, or as an ornament... I would suggest the ornament though. Or, if you wanted to sell it, I know a few collectors who would pay handsomely... but if I were you I'd keep it! It's so rare!

*keeps staring at the sand in wonder until she suddenly realises there is someone else there*

[Caitlin Pierce]

Sure, go right ahead and browse, Barry ^^

I think I need some help quick!!!! I think what this is is a muggle hand grenade, but I thought I read somewhere that they have a pin in them???

*looks away from the sand*

Oh, hi there! *smiles warmly* Yes, we organise holidays to Tibet, no problem. It's a little dangerous at the moment, but only so much as to be exciting^^ When would this be, and for how long?

*goes back to her table and tips her cat off a notebook, which she starts flipping the pages of*

There's a great conference in the Yao Sun Lim area at the moment, the place is lousy with wizards so I'm sure it won't be to difficult to get there. Any other details? *looks expectant*

[Liquid Ice]

Caitlin???

[Caitlin Pierce]

...............
eep
.................

Well, I have hand grenade pins here....
*scrabbles in a back drawer*

Keep holding the handle down, don't let go....

*rushes a pin over to ice*

:o:o

[Liquid Ice]

*Scrabbles for a few frantic seconds*
Its in!!!! Er, I think.....yes its in! *phew*

Dangerous, smangerous! I've got my wand, no harm'll come to me.. I hope..
Do you really think it's unsafe? Maybe I ougt to ask someone to come along..but whom?

Yeah I've got one free week, let's see, that would be week 43.
Is anything possible in that week?
