Wheel World Problems

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

Wheel World Problems

Vinny walked down the mainstreet in Maldon, looking into some store windows--sometimes literally, thanks to ~phasing~--as he went on.

One of his window phasing tricks seemed to startle a young woman who was looking at things in the window display from the inside of the store. She looked around to see if anyone else was seeing him, but everyone was paying attention to other things. "Are you a ghost?" She asked very quietly.

Vinny looked startled to be caught.

"Wha, me? No, no! Not at all.

...Or at least, I don't think I am."

"Oh, good, that would have been... well, best not to dwell on what it would have been." Something seemed to occur to her and she left the store quickly, "There we go, much better than talking through a window."

"Sorry, I really didn't mean to startle you! I just couldn't get a good angle out there, and decided to take a closer look.

The name's Vinny, by the way..." he said, sticking his hand out as an afterthought.

Eliana took his hand and shook it gently, "Eliana. So if you're not a ghost, you must be one of the students at the university."

"Got it in two! Yeah, I'm sure we've been a bit of a shock for the local townspeople, but you know how it goes. We mean you no harm and all that," Vinny joked.

"Thank you. I would ask 'so you go through things', but that seems somewhat redundant." She paused for a second, "That is what you do right?"

"I'm sorely tempted to mess with you now, but no, that's all I do--phasing and all that good stuff," Vinny laughed. "What about you?"

"Well, I was hoping to find some kind of quality mechanic around here, but none of them really seem to know what they're doing. So I was browsing as to not make it a totally wasted trip--there has to be SOMETHING odd 'round here."
