Moredcai grabbed her, and pulled her to the meeting hall . "Ain't trying. Now shut up, and let's hear this. "He said.

"Fine." Finx growled before sitting down. "But I'm leaving as soon as I can."

The guild master walked up to the Pandmonium. "thank you all for coming.......I wll get right too the point. Far Northest of here lie's a Place called 'Tree-shroud forest'. In that place....time itself, has apprently stopped."he said.

the whole guild echoed the same word. "What?!"

"-sigh- I was as Skeptical as you when I first heard, but I saw it myself. Time itself has stopped........The clouds are motionless......Neither day nor night come's......Dew drop's hand on leaf's.........Time itself has frozen in place "He said.

Everyone was silent. Embry spoke up "B-but how could time have stopped...."He/she said, then jumped up "It's unthinkable!"he shouted.

"Yes, I'm afraid the Unthinkable has happend. "Everyone turned to the guild master "Why has time stopped in Tree-shroud? Well, It's because : Tree-shroud's time Gear, was stolen! "He said.

A Complete Uproar Began "The t-t-time gear was stolen!? THAT'S what caused time to stop?!" "I heard it was possible, but to think anyone would actually do it....." "Even the most Hardend thief's know too stay away from time gear's."

Embry Shouted over the uproar "I don't get it Though!! WHY WOULD ANYONE take a time gear?!" He said.

"Enough!"The guild master banged his staff, caussing the earth to shake. Everyone went silent "The Chief officer of the region has already begun an Investigation. While it is true that it is hard to believe that anyone would take a time gear, this mean's the other's are in danger. That's why I'v called out too former guild member's, and too guild member's who've either tried to quit, or leave. This is more then a matter of the guild. If whoever did this is not stopped, this could mean Catacylsm on a Global scale. Everyone and their family's could be in danger. I'm pulling you all from your normal routine to aid in the investigation, and to search for time gear's, to protect them "he said, then waited around to see if anyone got any question's "Alright, that is all."

The whole guild hall emptied quickly. Everyone headed to Helios Town, to stock up on supplies for the road. Mordecai looked at finx "Let me get this straight.......Crime run's rampent, parent's are crazy, you got a magic necklace, and time is stopping? What the fuck is wrong with your world?"

"Time doesn't stop." Finx said "That impossible. He's lieing and if you believe him you're stupider not sure that correct but you're stupider then you look. I'm going home." she said and headed for the doors.

The Guildmaster walked up to her. He then grabbed her shoulder "You think I'm lieing? il show you "he said, then held up his badge "Tree-shroud forest!"He shouted. They warped into a Forest. Officer's, Scientist's, and the Several other's were present. The forest looked.....Still. The cloud's hung, Motionless. The Sun was not shining, even though it was 2pm. Leaf's were still, unmoving. Wind was not blowing, and Dew drop's hung on leaf's. Scientist's looked exasperated, Officer's were Examining a Shrine-like Structure, with a Hallow slot in front of it.

"Time doesn't stop." Finx said "The world doesn't work that way. Take me home or I'll scream." she pointed to the people "and they'll come and I'll tell them you kidnapped me."

"Look around you. The proof is right before your eye's "He said, Touching the leaf, making sure it's' real. He also waved his hand around it. No wire, no nothing.

"Take me home." Finx said with a roll of her eyes

"Finx, if this keep's happening, Not only will people be in Danger, your family will be too. You think you can avoid this? You won't. Your family will suffer the same fate as those frozen in time "He said, pointing to a few people, who were completely still. they were real, and alive, but they weren't moving, breathing, or anything.

"I have asked you twice nicely to take me home." Finx said 'I will count to three and if I'm not home I'll scream." she started to count. "1"

"Fine" he said, and sent them too your house.

((not cool))

(hey, your impending the roleplay, so You forced my hand)

((no I'm not.))

(you keep on detraining from the Story-line......-sigh- you know? fine. I changed my post)

((there isn't really a story line and I'm acting like a regular person would after being attacked and having to fight.))

Finx hurried inside and told her mom how great her day had been and that she was never going exploring again. She ate with her family and collapsed on her bed after she had meant it when she said she was never going adventuring again there rescue of the little girl had proven to her that she knew nothing about what real exploring was if you want to call what they did exploring.

Mordecai poked finx awake. "hey, wake up girl."he said

(Actually, there is. I don't I told you it, though)

((well then I can't very well go along with it if I don't know it. DUH!))
Fin groaned "Go away I'm sleeping I have work in the morning."

(well, right now, They're going on a Exploriation of a unknown area, and after that, Their's going to be Talk of a Full-scale Expedition.)

"I just got new's of what happend. Look, I don't want to be Bribing you into this, but I got a job that might change your mind. "He said, and put a notice on the bed. "Our first True Exploriation. Some Thrill-seeking Rich boy want's us to explore around a Water-fall, where he think's a secret might be held "He said.

"Can we talk about this when I'm awake and it not one oclock in the morning?" Finx mumbled into her pillow.

Mordecai nodded, and fell asleep, leaning against a corner in her bed room. He had the notice in hand.

Finx groaned when her alarm clock went off "I'll kill him." she mumbled into her pillow before rising to shut off her alarm clock she started to get changed and spotted mordecai in the corner and chucked her pillow at him.

mordecai caught it, half-way awake. "so, will you take me up on that offer? This is a place noone's cared to explore about til now "he said.

"I don't now I have to work and after yesterday I don't think I can explore the way that guild does." Finx said glaring at him.

"Techneclly, that wasen't exploring, that's training. There's worse thing's then Slaver's and Maurader's out there, Take the Moutain Troll's for example "he said. "We're going to be facing Thing's many would be well beyond our strength, but that's how we train. At the End of the Long Lonesome Road, That is were you will find home."
