A place with streets. Now THIS was more like it. Esmeralda's first plan of action; get whatever passed for currency to buy what she could. Lucky for her, she happened to have her tambourine on standby. The things this place could do. Who knew LARPing as a gypsy would lead to her actually becoming on. She managed to weasel a few coins. But she had no clue what the amount was. Meh, improvisation was key. Her pouch was full...and then came the random baker. "YOU!" he pointed an accusing finger at Esmeralda, who was simply minding her own business. "You stole my bread!"
"What?" Esmeralda held out her arms in defense. Suckey part about being a gypsy; predjudice. "I did not!"
"Don't lie!" the baker approached. Some passerby stopped and looked on. "We all know gypsies don't do well here. All they do is steal and what not."
Esmeralda's anger boiled; inward, that was. The blaze in her green eyes hilighted the events. She forced a smile. "You're right..." she reached into her scarf, pulling out some flash powder. "How much for the bread? I can pay for it."
"It'll be..." Before the merchant could finish, Esmeralda threw down the pinch of flash powder. The blinding light sent the man stumbling backwards. Esmeralda silently congragulated herself before dashing away from the square, whispering "Adios, sucker."
"Come back here, you thieving gypsy!" were the last words she heard before she slipped into the backstreets, using the shadows to keep low until the baker a few soliders ran past.

John grumbled hearing the issue amongst the area as he stepped out of his Carriage receiving a few bows from his people; he had no idea what was going on with the Gypsies. his form canted his head as he chased off after the magic user- trying to find her. he tossed the baker the rest of the coins. "Its on me! Wait!" he'd call after Esme. skidding down the road he'd pant looking around for her, his hat in the Carriage."I wanted to speak with you!" he'd shout, looking around as he scowled. "Oh confounded how am I gonna talk to the Gypsies if I can't catch up with one- Ugh, I need exorcise!" he'd exlaim.panting as he ran after.his form inched into the shadows-knowing what dwelled here possibley he was carefull as his bright colored eyes blinked. "Where are you..''he'd wonder, drawing out a sword incase Thrax was here."I'm prepared for anything- but a Gypsy is what im looking for, if your here please come out!" he'd demand.

Oh, just what Esmeralda needed. An outsider. A nicely dressed one, too. In the modern world, these guys would be easy. But this was different. Esmeralda was like a cat; she knew where to hide and how without getting caught. If the soldiers sent him, she wasn't coming out. Nope, she was going to hang out in her little hovel until he left. But she could maybe distract him. She threw a pebble towards the nearest opening, hoping it would hit a box and make him look there.

John sighed rather deeply as he stepped in further- his form grumbling."My name is Prince John Rolfe..''he'd say softly trying to coax her out- his glance shifting towards the rock but then back in the shadows"I'm here to discuss something with the Gypsies head.''he'd say "About a merger?"he'd wonder.he wasent like his palace guards, he wanted too work with them and the others."I own Orachd. tis my kingdom.. I could be of much use for both of our life's if you'd come out and just talk to me...if your still hidden.''he'd try diplomacy."I mean no harm..ignore my sword.. it's not for you. I was recently attacked by A Shadow holder.''he'd try to sound friendly.

Prince? Okay, now she was DEFINITELY not coming out. Not even if he paid her. Was he TRYING to get her involved in the fighting. Well, heck no. Reluctantly, Esmeralda stepped out, her face clearly showing annoyance. "Sadly, Your Highness," she said the royal term a bit tauntingly, "the gypsies' head isn't here, because I'm strictly forbidden in revealing his whereabouts; not even to royalty. So, sorry, bud." Esmeralda was improvising at this point. No need to tell her about Earth. "And if you want me involved in this little strategy game you call a war, I'm not interested."

The young weather wizard had spent most of his time making sure that his powers were skilled enough to beat his sister. As such, he had been looking for a mentor for a long time. There was no luck what's so ever. Now he spent his days wandering the streets hoping to find someone to help him. 'I bet i am doing way better than Kimiko!' he thought smirking. He could already summon a lightning storm without a blink of an eye. What could his sister do?
"What's going on over here?" he asked joining the group.

Esmeralda was this close to stabbing the prince. However, she knew hurting royalty would lead to wanted posters everywhere. "Look, can we talk when I'm not being hunted down? Thanks, I appreciate it. Or even better, call off the hunt on me." She dusted his shoulder casually before seeing yet another stranger had joined them. Brown hair, green eyes, well-built. Kinda cute. Esmeralda slapped herself internally. "Let's just say a little too much information was wanted at the wrong time," she answered.

John blinked lightly blinking when he saw her- wow- what a woman!((Sorry Phobeus.xD)) he'd think, slapping the side of his head he'd shake it, Married-to -be he reminded himself. It was after all, a fully grown woman. and he was a young man."I will call off the hunt on one condition- You come to my castle for Tea, and discuss somethings with me. it's not on the war, I wish it too stop as much as you all do.''he'd say softly,his eyes shimmering a-little now."I at least want to talk with one of ...''he'd stop himself from saying"Gypsy." "Your Family.''he'd note.he needed as much time to fix things amongst the group 's that hated his kingdom; as much as possible."It's on me. Uh.''He still did not have her name."....What is your name?"he'd wonder as the Gaurds caught up as he sighed deeply"The hunt for all gypsies is called off; stand down.''he'd order.ALL Gypsies? she just asked for her. "But Sier..'' "No butts, stand down, unless something else goes wrong They are NOT To be harmed, am I clear?" "yes Sier.'' they'd bow lightly and head off"Better?"he'd ask Esme.crossing his arms. they really diden't do much harm and he was unaware of why they were chased after too begin with.

Esmeralda scoffed at his offer. Really? Tea? Liek fancy-high-up crap? However he did get the guards off her butt like she wanted. Maybe he wasn't so bad. But still, the castle was not her cup of joe. Heck, she couldn't say she wasn't from Orachd. Improvisation kicked in again, "Look, it's a touching offer, but I'm going to have to refuse. Not exactly my kind of scene. Also, for the record, my family's dead. I'm grateful you got those soldiers off my ass, but they're the whole reason my family's gone. So, in a nutshell, thanks but no thanks, Your Highness." Tossing her curls, Esmeralda marched from the alley.

John sighed as she ran off again; Gypsies, or rather, her people gave him a head-ache sometimes with all -the-running they could do.he blinked as he went to grab her before she ran off-again- but he was too late"I never got your name!" he'd exclaim.sighing deeply.Crap. he still did not know her name, and he was a-little lost."Oh bother.''he'd look at the man and cracked a smile.A wizard, but he diden't know what it was."Not much is going on here, sir.''he'd say softly."She ran off again.''he'd hang his head low as he turned to leave.

"I didn't throw my name. And you'll never get it!" Esmeralda called over her shoulder. Of course, things would be dfferent if he had come to her in a way she would've liked. That one cute boy had the right idea; if anything, that person was worthy of knowing her name. But as of now, Esmeralda was fuming, storming off. Freaking prince. Why couldn't he keep his nose where it belonged; out of her business? A few skirts away from that alley hopefully put some distance between them. Now with the soldiers and baker off her tail, Esmeralda could do whatever she darn well pleased. She pulled out her harmonica, improvising a tune as she walked. The jingle of her scarf rang in time, along with all her newfound money.

Megara was watching with a gleeful grin from the shadows she liked this girl she had spunk. She came out from the shadows to follow her careful not to draw attention to herself "You know how you handled pretty boy back their was pretty impressive" she said loud enough for her to hear but no one else as she would prefer not to get arrested.

Esmeralda hit a sour note on the tune. 'Huh?" Instinctively, she reached for her dagger. The voice was almost monotonous, but there was the hint of amusement to the tone. She whipped around, her cloud of black hair neatly following. Her eyes were narrowing, looking for the source. "Depends on what pretty boy you were talking about. Last I checked there were two. Though I think I made 'Princey' back there pee his pants. He broke the number one rule to me; disrespect me and I'll disrespect right back." Sure she may look like an idiot, but Esmeralda wasn't one. She knew someone was mimicing her shadow technique and she wanted to find out who.

Megara came out from the shadows them curling around the bottom of her dress "Princey was hilarious personally don't like the guy so anybody who freaks him out is alright in my book... I'd tell ya my name but its not exactly the most secure place around here. Not very well liked due to...some of my associates and my race so I try not to spout it off willy nilly anywhere. Could cause trouble something I doubt you need help creating." she said with a smirk her eyes flashing from their normal purple to the red then back again.

Esmeralda lowered her dagger. The girl emerged from the shadows like she was just part of them. Long auburn hair fell down in curls held back with a clasp. Her body was build into the cruves of a Greecian vase. The shadows waited like dogs wanting to go on a walk at the foot of her mauve dress. "Fair enough," she muttered. Some color changing contacts, perhaps? Then again, the chick did say "race" and that they weren't liked. Commonality number one was complete; predjudice. "Looks like there's a secluded area near some abandoned shop or whatever. We can chat there."
