4685-6: Abigail says: "*She giggles softly as she listens to Edward, leaning her head back on the seat again*"
  4685-6: Edward says: "*he awkwardly slips into the clothes, cautiously at first* Thank you... Taxi Driv-... I'm a ... I'm one of you? *his eyes light up*"

 4684-1: You say: "We're all tired of this alternative lifestyle of yours though. *he snaps, tossing a set of clothes at him out the window* Taxi drivers aren't meant to be naked. What would the neighbours say? Well, we know! We had to listen to those Moku North people go on and on about your nakedness."
  4684-1: You give cotton shirt to Edward.
  4684-1: You give suit trousers to Edward.
  4684-1: You say: "Simply taxi drivers, in all honesty. *rests a head on his shoulder, smiling like a seductive siren at Edward* We have one small problem, though. It's a wonder our taxi service is still in business: there's no room for passengers. *dreamily looks over his shoulder, at piles of accumulated treasures (gleaming gold, secretive silver, distracting diamonds)*"
  4684-1: You are hungry.
  4684-0: Edward says: "*he laughs awkwardly* It was all a bit strange. So who are you? What are you? The gemstones... What.. *his voice trails off as he stares at them*"

  4683-1: You say: "*scratches the back of his head* Edward, we'd wondered when we'd see you again. They called you a thief, but obviously that's not the truth. It's all a big misunderstanding involving some disappearing gemstones and two mildly deranged women. Could happen to anyone!"
  4682-7: Abigail says: "Oh! *She'd been sunk down in her seat, looking relaxed, or tired, or- At any rate, when she hears the voice she turns to look, and sits bolt upright. She reaches over to grab her companion's arm* Look! It's him! Hello *She giggles and waves to Edward*"
  4682-7: Edward says: "*he waves and points, panting and out of breath* You! I never got your name."
  4682-7: You see Edward pointing at you.

    4681-4: Abigail says: "*Her features scrunch up, and she shakes her head against the seat, putting on a smile for him* No no! We like adventuring. Besides, we don't have a home to have a break in, silly. "
  4681-4: You say: "Maybe we should take a break from adventuring. *rests his tired head against the seat, looking mildly worried at his travel companion*"
  4681-4: Abigail says: "*She lets out a breathy little giggle, then sighs again* I mean it. Feels like everything was fine, and then I blew up the sky, and next thing there's a war. "
  4681-4: You say: "Probably, yeah. You and this E. Scott fellow. *taps his knuckles against the advertisement sign outside the vehicle*"
  4681-4: Abigail says: "Do you think it's my fault?"
  4681-4: Abigail says: "*She exhales slowly, tilting her head back to rest on the seat* Yeah. I was just a plain tailor who sat in the fields and sewed all day. "
  4681-4: You say: "It's all kind of a blur; we were on a boat, then we were in an enormous forest with paths the length of infinity, now we're in a car full of gemstones running a taxi service? *considers the storyline with some severity, gently rubbing a hand over his beard* Remember how simple our lives used to be, before the war?"
  4681-4: Abigail says: "*She sinks back in her seat with a little pout* Is it? I don't know... Where are we? I don't even have a map. We went to a different island, right?"
  4681-4: You say: "*tilts his head* That's impossible, this is another island isn't it?"
  4681-4: Abigail says: "Maybe.. *She frowns a little, then gasps and smacks her hand down on the open window* No, Jackie! She was with the people where Jackie went! I wonder if Jackie is here?!"
  4681-4: You say: "*the colourfully dressed man strokes his short, black beard* I trust your vision, four eyes is better than two. Maybe they've seen the little Edwardian fellow. So strange was he, all naked running down the road! Ha-ha."
  4681-4: Abigail says: "Oooh soup, yes. *She giggles softly, scooting right out of the way. She peers out the window, peering at one woman in particular* I remember her from somewhere... *she mumbles*"
  4681-2: You say: "You know, that's right, some soup would be great right now. *smiles happily, slowing down the car*"
  4681-2: You arrived at unnamed location.
  4681-1: You are hungry.
4681-0: You say: "*heaves a heavy sigh, like all heaven presses down upon his weary mind* When we grow old, let's make sure we won't become grumpy like them. It's like all logic escaped their brain soup."
  4681-0: You leave Moku North, using A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service;, taking expressway to unnamed location.
  4681-0: You see some turquoise being pulled from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service; to Moku North. (Madame du Pont)
  4681-0: You see some silver being pulled from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service; to Moku North. (Madame du Pont)
  4681-0: You see some emerald being pulled from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service; to Moku North. (Madame du Pont)
  4681-0: You say: "You'll have to forgive my companion, she's prone to flights of fancy. *rubs a hand over his arm, a speck of colourful against the dreary winter landscape; He sighs a lonely smile, pulling himself into the car* Let's go for a real ride, shall we? *before closing the door, slivers of gemstone abundance escape the car by accident*"
  4681-0: Abigail says: "Oh no! Swiler! Rose! Jane! Julie! Krythor! Nicolai! Look out! *Aaaand six successive bounces, this time accompanied by as many 'thunk!' noises, and a wry grimace on Abigail's part.* Whoopsie! *She chimes cheerfully after*"
  4681-0: Jane Doe says: "*she blinks and shakes her head dismissively as she returns her attention back to the lock*"
  4681-0: Abigail says: "Eeeeoooowooooovrooooomneeeeeeooooo! *She continues on, dodging a vast number of things. Her few bounces in between dodges might represent things she couldn't avoid- hopefully not imaginary friends*"
  4680-7: Jane Doe says: "*she looks over in slight alarm at the sudden burst of noise*"
  4680-7: Abigail says: "*She hops into the driver's seat and grips the wheel, turning it this way, then that way, then this way again! Her mouth makes all manner of sorts of sounds to accompany her imaginary driving, including a shrill beep followed by her yelling* Get off the road or I'll run you over! *She giggles as she continues her fun*"

    4678-3: Friedrich Paulus says: "We didn't mean bad, we just can't quite follow what you had in mind. So maybe you could explain yourself?"
  4678-3: Julie Jones says: "totally  confused * she nods* "
  4678-3: Friedrich Paulus says: "Oh man.. Uhm, no need to be sad okay? We just can't quite understand what you mean"
  4678-3: Abigail says: "*Her eyes begin to moisten, and she looks purposefully away into the car interior, folding her hands in her lap with head down as she sniffles again*"
  4678-3: Friedrich Paulus says: "Ehrm, okay that was a bit mean to say, let's not make her cry?"
  4678-3: Abigail says: "*Her eyes widen and she looks confused at the woman's unnecessarily nasty tone, and her pleasant smile fades. She sniffles quietly.*"
  4678-3: Friedrich Paulus says: "I'm not even sure what's going on anymore"
  4678-3: Jane Doe says: "Of course, everyone -imagined- the gems left behind when your car sped off the first time. It makes complete sense, that does. *The sarcastic tone she had been employing is replacing by a stern one* I don't quite know what is going on with you two and your taxi service, but if that young man is coming back here, then as long as he -willingly- gets into your car, I don't think I would mind seeing the back of all three of you."
  4678-3: Friedrich Paulus says: "*he chuckles* yes it's all imagination"
  4678-2: Julie Jones says: "yeah  maybe  * she glares at   the pair* "
  4678-2: Abigail says: "No idea what you're talking about *she smiles brightly and shrugs*Maybe you dreamed it? "
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "Well, odd way to do business"
  4678-2: Julie Jones says: "what ever..  your business.. * shrugs* "
  4678-2: Julie Jones says: "* she  shakes her head*"
  4678-2: Julie Jones says: "*  she looks over at the pair *  hello nothing  wrong with my eyes.. I  saw the Emerals  rubies and gold  being pulled to Moku North. # 48, coming from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service;. "
  4678-2: Abigail says: "We didn't drop anything."
  4678-2: Julie Jones says: "he  stolen them  now your  going  give the thief guy a ride.. * shakes her head*   not  very  smart thing to  do!!!!"
  4678-2: Julie Jones says: "so the  Gem thief  guys    came  from Moku, nothing but a shield..and never spoke... the ruby emerald and  gold were  pulled  from the taxis  vehicle..   why you  drop them * she wonders*  "
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "Only what he got from you"
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "No?"
  4678-2: You say: "Weren't his fists filled with gemstones?"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "*she shakes her head with a slight roll of her eyes* And, dare I ask, what is some naked newspawn going to pay you with?"
  4678-2: You say: "*giggles at his companion, irresistibly drawn into the foot-stomping ritual, hopping left to right* It's so exciting, our first customer! He might be naked, but it's a start."
  4678-2: Abigail says: "You don't need shoes to make feet sounds *she giggles, taking off her shoes. She slouches in her seat, lifting her bare feet and slapping them obviously quite audible like on the dash. She looks over at her friend* Need to free up a bunch! "
  4678-2: You say: "*attentively listens before nodding with approval* So how are we going to lose our cargo? We have hay, feathers, popcorn--loads of it. If only we could free up some space, well, the man might just fit!"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "I am listening, but all I'm hearing is a load of nonsense."
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "*he looks amused* Ehrm, and you make no sense"
  4678-2: Abigail says: "You're not really listening. "
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "I highly doubt it, especially as he has no shoes on."
  4678-2: Abigail says: "Shh shh. *She holds a hand up towards Jane* I think I hear his feet. "
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "*he chuckles* well said"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "And we're not silly, thank you very much. You're the ones who are rushing this way and that, going on about a man on the road and about some society."
  4678-2: You say: "I recall some dangling."
  4678-2: Abigail says: "Well I didn't a great look at him. The car was zooming. "
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "Erhm, you must mean that guy who came and said no word"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "Right, so you mean the naked young man, holding a tortoiseshell shield?"
  4678-2: Abigail says: "What silly people. "
  4678-2: You enter Moku North, where you see 4 people, leaving A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service;.
  4678-2: Abigail says: "The road we just ccome from. *Her eyes are still bugged out with the same expression* We  wouldn't have seen him if he was on another. "
  4678-2: You say: "Well he was here just a day ago, wasn't he? *scratches his puzzled beard* All that scratchy hay, fluffy feathers and explosive popcorn--maybe they'll buy some of it from us!"
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "Yeah, we have no idea who you talk about"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "*She sighs with frustration* Which road? What does he look like?"
  4678-2: Abigail says: "*she might be looking between the two of them as if they could be a little nuts* The man on the road. "
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "Who is Edward?"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "And -who- is Edward?"
  4678-2: Abigail says: "Edward. *She looks at Jane with a strange expression*"
  4678-2: Jane Doe says: "What man, on what road?"
  4678-2: Abigail says: "There's a man on the road who wanted to come with us?  *She pouts at Friedrich, then looks around* Wonder if there's a vehicle he can take here? "
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "You guys are a bit.. lost?"
  4678-2: Friedrich Paulus says: "And they come back again"
  4678-2: You arrived at Moku North.
  4678-2: Abigail says: "*She lets out a loud yawn, pulling her feet up onto her seat as she watches the walking man* We don't have room. What're we going to do Earl? "
  4678-1: You turned around.
  4678-1: You say: "*approaches Edward at a careful speed, smiling awkwardly* Well this is weird, we're looking for someone named Edward. You are neither of them, however. Let's figure out this puzzle back in town."
  4678-1: You leave Moku North, using A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service;, taking expressway to unnamed location.
  4678-1: You say: "Where'd Edward go, is he still on the road? Ha-ha, the silly man. *laughs mirthfully, his meek shoulders shaking; Turning the wheel, car speeding back onto the road*"
  4678-1: Julie Jones says: " Jake Thomson`s I am confused"
  4678-1: Julie Jones says: "that's was  weird.. * she looks over at  Jane..*  one person dropped  some  gems"
  4678-1: Jane Doe says: "Abigail and Madame du Pont"
  4678-1: a man in his twenties says: "Who came back?"
  4678-1: Friedrich Paulus says: "They came back it seems"
4678-1: Jane Doe says: "Oh... *she blinks as she notices the car is back in town* Hello again."
   4678-1: You arrived at Moku North.
  4678-0: You say: "I bet he can help us find the other Edwards. Imagine if we got all three of them together, ha-ha. *turns the car round, then sighs* But how are we ever going to fit that man in here?"
  4678-0: You turned around.
  4678-0: Edward says: "*he waves them down* Hello! *he is panting, running down the road* I am Edward Shen. *he holds up a ruby, an emerald and some gold* Where'd you get this? Can... can I come with you?"
 4677-7: You say: "*sniffs at the air, as if with suspicion* Abigail, do you know why the sea is so big? I'm genuinely asking. It's as if it's hiding something enormous. Big things tend to hide a wealth enormous. *grins*"
  4677-7: You leave Moku North, using A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service;, taking expressway to unnamed location.
  4677-7: You see some emerald being pulled from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service; to Moku North. (Madame du Pont)
  4677-7: You see some gold being pulled from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service; to Moku North. (Madame du Pont)
  4677-7: You see some ruby being pulled from A. Durooth & E. Scott taxi service; to Moku North. (Madame du Pont)
  4677-7: You say: "We should leave before the Society catches wind of our current position. *pulls at the door, attempting to close; As they drive off in a hurry, tiny specks of emerald, gold and ruby slip onto the road*"
