"Erm, perhaps in a bit. I seemed to have been a tad too eager to see if I could look upwards, but at least I can I suppose. Adjusting well to your new form, Mage Art? It is good that you didn't come out as something less humanoid."

When Niklas leaves, Sigmund will throw the sandwiches in an alley, but will lick his hands out of curiosity, and clean them with his curtain, then he will go back to the store, look on the window and say:

-Umm, are you there Kevin? Just begin to drop the books, whatever you can find that seems useful. We are going in a long trip, so any kind of thing to read would help.

Grab whatever books Kevin drops.

Mark starts to imagine what his comrades could be doing like maybe using a crossbow that's on fire though he dosent think they could be that stupid.

"Try to not stand in front of the window for a second, Sigmund."
Kevin will locate the chests with the more scientific books, close them, and push them out of the window.

Sigmund shrugs and goes to loot the house of the guards, paying attention to the number of chairs in there.

In front of the engineers' gate of the City of the Dead...

Darren looks at the gibbon-thing cautiously, being ready to leave in case of trouble.

"Hello," he says to the creature. The gibbon nods respectably, which is quite unusual, Darren believes, considering that it is indeed a giant gibbon and thus quite rarely associated with something approaching respectability. It doesn't speak, which he supposes amplifies the impression somewhat. Its suspiciously wise, dark eyes pass over his ectoplasmic body.

The gibbon looks pretty harmless, or at least not particularly hostile to Darren for the time being.


At Brenwicke's Books...

Niklas, rather disappointed with the lack of any kitchens, decides to look for chairs instead. Unfortunately, there aren't any of those, either! What a terrifyingly woeful place this must be to conduct business in.

Sigmund, seeing how Niklas isn't looking directly at him anymore, throws the sandwiches into a nearby alley, causing a rather abominable mess that he isn't sure even a whole lot of rainfall might fix. And now his hands are covered in blood. Sweet, delicious blood. Lovely crimson liquid almost fresh from the veins of an unwitting victim of violent assault, truly a pleasure for all the senses.

Sigmund tries for a moment to resist the temptation to lick his fingers clean, but then figures what the hell and goes ahead and tries some of the blood on his fingers. He slurps a great glob of it from his index finger. Damn, that's good. He licks his hand again. Still just as wonderful. Mm... blood.

He tries to break himself from the enjoyment of his hands, but the sweet scent of vitae is too much for him, and he starts frenziedly licking his hands, paying no mind to anything else. Damn, guess he's been going through blood withdrawal something fierce! He can't stop licking his arms, and the world seems to fade away even as the sensation of being well and truly alive floods through every bit of his body.

"Try to not stand in front of the window for a second, Sigmund," comes the voice of Kevin from on high. Sigmund can't really hear it, but Kevin is currently in the middle of finding a particularly scientific-looking chest of books, which is altogether easier to find than the Sea of Death section, and attempts to push them out the window.

[Kevin strength roll: 5]

He lifts the thing confidently, fitting it through the window and dropping it.

[Sigmund positioning roll: 3]
[Sigmund endurance roll: 5]

It proceeds to fall on the rather distracted Sigmund, clipping him across the shoulder. No obvious damage is caused, and the impact does not even shake him out of his state. How interesting. And now there's books all over the ground.


On the deck of the shrieking ship of Shriekpot...

Morton keeps his chin up despite possessing no such thing, and goes on to chat with Art.

"Erm, perhaps in a bit. I seemed to have been a tad too eager to see if I could look upwards, but at least I can, I suppose. Adjusting well to your new form, Mage Art? It is good that you didn't come out as something less humanoid," he says.

"Yeah. Have to say, though, being a crystal warrior princess feels really weird. And I kinda need to put in effort to keep up a voice like this. If I don't, I start sounding like this. It's quite strange, really. Also, I feel... pretty," Art explains, his voice becoming noticeably more womanly midway through before lapsing into his old sound.


In a jail cell in Shriekpot...

Mark, having nothing better to do right now, opts to think of what the others might be doing.

He thinks for a moment, and then realizes that they very well may be all dead by now, as depressing as that may be. Or at least not at all similar to how they may have been previously. That seems to be standard procedure, anyhow.

"Alright, I'll drop another one, I think."
Try to locate another scientific crate and drop it again.

Move into the store, put a chunk of bloody meat into the curtain, press it and lick the blood.

"Pretty? Hm... I'm afraid I can't exactly give much of an answer there. I have been personally feeling more fashionable ever since becoming a desk due to my wondrous finish, but I don't doubt this isn't similar to what you've been experiencing. The others might perhaps have more insight, when they get back. I'm afraid, Sir Mage Art, that there isn't much of a way to change back or to another form unless you fancy another trip through the realm." Morton commented as he looked up at the stars. He idly wondered... If intense focus on a single sense tuned it to such a level, perhaps it might work with others...?

At Brenwicke's Books...

Kevin guesses he'll try another box - that one over there looks pretty sciency, so he chooses it to be the next volunteer.

[Kevin strength roll: 5]

He lifts it up and chucks it out of the window - this time, there is no Sigmund to break the books' fall, as he appears to have moved elsewhere. Namely, to the inside of the store, where he finds a rather large chunk of bloody meat Niklas appears to have missed somehow. He wraps it in the curtain and begins to squeeze it to get some blood out.

Once again, that stuff tastes amazing. Really, he could do this all-

"What are we doing here again?" asks Niklas in his now-typical sing-song voice.

Sigmund looks at him with a bloodied mouth. Hah. Talking chairs are funny.


On the deck of the shrieking ship of Shriekpot...

Morton, though most certainly not a qualified expert in transmogrification, does his best to provide quality advice.

"Pretty? Hm... I'm afraid I can't exactly give much of an answer there. I have been personally feeling more fashionable ever since becoming a desk due to my wondrous finish, but I don't doubt this isn't similar to what you've been experiencing. The others might perhaps have more insight, when they get back. I'm afraid, Sir Mage Art, that there isn't much of a way to change back or to another form unless you fancy another trip through the realm."

"Oh no, I do like this new shape. Being made of crystal feels great. And I don't really feel like a lady, you know. I'm just... like... a statue of one. It doesn't feel half bad. It's that part, the not feeling weird part, that mildly disturbs me. But I'm sure I'll adapt," Art explains, smiling awkwardly.

Kevin tries to climb out.
"Alright guys, I'm coming out. No more scientific books here. Let's take it home."
Climb down and start putting the fallen books back in the chests.

Sigmund cleaned his mouth, preferably with his tongue, and answered Niklas:

-Our master asked for some books on the Sea of Death, Kevin should be dropping the books from the upper floor.

Having satisfied part of his thirst, Sigmund chose to go loot the guard's house, paying attention for the availability of chairs ((because maybe he could trade them with Niklas))

Niklas looks for Sea of Death books. If he finds none he searches for the nearest furniture store.
