Lost and Found :: Gate [NPC Thread]

A strange black and blue creature would be explaining in a rather proud tone, the small being hopping up and down on the spot as it spoke, waving its arms around as if to over exaggerate literally everything it said even when it really wasn't necessary to.



"Hmm..." Gate would cross his arms and lower his head, staring at the ground for a moment or two in deep thought after hearing this report. That didn't make any sense, he was sure he'd managed to track down that gangs exact location. Though he was well aware of Tullis abilities in tracking down anyone, so how did they manage to clean up their act so thoroughly? Unless he was just wrong from the start... "Hmph. Thanks for letting me know Tull, I guess we'll just have to keep searching for more clues. I was almost fully positive about it this time around, but oh well. Be sure to keep an eye on the place for the next few weeks regardless, okay?"

Tullis would stop jumping for a moment to give a respectful salute and "Yes sir!" just as some unknown person decided to make their presence known. So, they knew who he was, huh? S'pose he should be used to that by now but its still weird every time some unknown face just starts talking straight with your name up front. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" Gate would ask with a raised brow before continuing. "I'm kinda in the middle of something, what do you want?"

"You know, a name of the family or even the kid seems like something you should bring up first." Gate would snarl, clearly still in a bad mood from the previous information his ace tracker had provided him. Plus he wasn't too fond of people assuming any old kid could just sneak into the Under. "You know we take great pride in protecting the gate between the Slums and the Under. I can highly assure you that no one gets past without our knowledge and permission." The man would bring up one hand to his forehead, rubbing it gently as if trying to ease a headache before continuing whilst trying to use a much softer tone. "Listen. I'm sorry, but no. Nothing like that rings a bell. If you can provide me with more specific information about this kid though, his name, what he looks like and anything else of importance. I might be able to send out a search team, but I can't do anything without information."

With a light sigh, Gate would note down the sparse information he was provided before looking up with an expectant look, raising an eyebrow when this woman was apparently done explaining the childs looks. "That's all well and good, but what race is he even? That seems like quite the prominent factor in a place like this." Honestly did some people even think when they spoke? Whatever, he was already in a bad mood so he wouldn't fully take it out on this randomer for one little thing.

"Hmm..." Tull would be tapping the side of his hat with one finger in thought as this conversation was happening. The small creature had heard a lot of names in his time scouting out areas with his hypersensitive hearing, yet trying to remember each specifically could prove difficult if he wasn't actively looking for that name before. "Ya know. I think I heard a Ramos not too long ago. Though never saw a kid to match the name, might still be in the similar area?" The creature would say aloud, though mostly to himself in thought.

Hmph. Gate would scratch the side of his head and turn to Tull with a raised eye as further information about this lost kid was shared. Though the small creature would merely shrug. As he'd said before, he thought he'd heard the name though never saw no canvas to match the title. The man would sigh, he was getting too old for this... Already. "Tull, you got all that? Form a small search party or scout out the area yourself. Whichever you thinks best, if you've heard the name before then we could be in for a stroke of luck." Gate would begin with a commanders tone before turning to face the woman, his tone changing more to one of calming yet serious. "Listen, we'll do what we can. If the kid isn't where Tull thinks then we'll look elsewhere. Though you have to realise even with resources, finding one kid in this place is like finding a pin in a scrapyard. I'd recommend continuing to search yourself if you can, if you know him better you'll likely have a better chance to know where he could of ran off to. Likewise, let us know if you find out anything furhter, Ms ...?" Gate would leave an obvious pause and gesture with his hand for the other to share their name.
