Michel and Almiron spoke for a while before Mila came in.

[Insert "Madness of Reality" portion here]

Free.  The words rang like a clarion in Michel's mind. 

"Paranth?" he said.

*Yes?*

"Come to the med center.  We have some research to do."

Michel walked over to Almiron.

"Well, I am gonna split.  But, I will check in on you soon.  I just...I 
really don't want to leave this hanging.  yes, they found a body, but the 
question is, who would have killed that assassin, and..."

Almiron smiled and interrupted.

"No need explain.  I understand.  Just be careful, ok?"

Michel nodded, said his farewells, and split.

****************************************************************************

*Ok, Michel, what are we looking for this time.*

"Ok, I want you to find out who all has come to town recently.  Mainly 
try to find Landbound names, but if we've had transfers, keep them in 
mind too.  I need a list of names, and places where I may speak with 
those names."

*Ok.  I can do that.  It may take some time, tho.*

"No Problem."

About an hour later, Paranth had the names from other Dragons of people 
who had recently arrived.  Jotting the list, Michel went around and 
started speaking to the various people.  The fifth one, a male named 
Arthur, had an unlikely story of where he had been when it had all 
happened.  Michel marked him for further investigation.  A while later, 
Michel came to the last name on his list.

"You said this was Briana's friend?"

*Yes, I asked Starleanna, and she said that this Lori arrived a short 
time before everything started going wrong here, but that also applies to 
half of you list.  Lori is the one who found the body of the assassin in 
the woods.*



Michel frowned and nodded. Odd, he thought to himself.   Approaching where 
Lori was staying, he noted some members of the Guild of Swords guarding 
outside.  Shrugging, he walked up to one.

"I need to speak with the occupant of this apartment.  I believe her name 
is Lori..."

Michel and Paranth
  AKA Chris Canary

NRPG:  Kat:  Have fun.  Knew we were planning on running the interaction 
of Lori and Michel, well, here's to a start.  *grin*

All:  Feel free to include Michel.

Lyn:  I had planned on Michel going back to visit Almiron later.  If you 
write, feel free to write it in, tho he did not take advantage of 
Almiron's offer.
