Leanon watched with obvious amusment at the antics of IT and Remmington.
"Hmm...Let me try." She picked up a dart, stood up straight, both feet planted firmly on the photo shops floor, she took careful aim and threw the dart, the tiny thing whizzed across the room at high speed, but, just before it hit the board, sir salmonkins made the fatal mistake of blubbing his way innocently past the board.
"Nooooooooo!" Screamed Leanon as the dart pierced through the flesh in the salmons tail fin.
"blub..blub?" It said, looking slightly dazed.
"Damn it! You made me miss!

A couple hours later Jessi came out from the back room. "Well, Remington-san. The photos are done." She looked about the room and twirled a blue strand of hair around her finger. She walked over to the counter and pulled out her pricing guide.
"Now, that will be 5 gp, please." Rotzi smiled sleepily at her customers.
"Need some caf, Jessi-san?" Her assistant had followed her to the counter.
The human shook her head slightly. "No thanks, Centon. I just need a nice night's sleep..."
"Go on up. I'll take care of this." He smiled at her as he sent her on her way.

“Ouch! The poor fish!” says Remington.
To Jessi’s assistant he says, “Nice game of darts.” Paying the gp he takes the pictures.
“Mmm… Jessi did a fine job in developing these. The color’s true and sharp. Let’s see… (shows the pictures to Leanon) here we’re at the fable city of the ancients turned out just to be a goblin outpost, Yep, here we are being over run by the buggers. (one picture appeared to have been taken from inside a goblin mouth –yuck!) And this is one with IT being covered in slime from a slime-flower pod. *chuckle* IT blushes red.
“HEY! Who took this one!” It’s a skinny dipping shot of Remington’s butt. Remington eyes IT. “No… you couldn’t have. You don’t have arms. Let’s just take this one out of the file. “

"Sorry to interrupt you folks, but it's long past closing time." Centon had just come from upstairs. Apparently he had tucked Rotzi in. "I thank you for wanting to make sure she was ok. I assure you, she is fine for now."
The elf shot a glare at Squee. "And I'll be taking care of things here for the night. If you need a place to stay, I suggest the Dead Parrot Inn. The help may be slow, but it's one of the best in the city."

Leanon chuckled lightly "Nice picture Remmington!"
"Ah, thank you Centon, we'll head off the the Inn now, thank you very much for the advice, I'll make sure I pop in again soon." Her emerald eyes glanced sideways at the twitching salmon floating nearby.
"Erm...I wont bring him next time."

Remington blushes…”uh uh.. yeah… nice pictures…” glares at IT again. “I know somehow you’re at the bottom of this… someway…”
“Thank you Centon.” Remington notices Centon’s use of the phase ‘she is fine for now’ and then the look at Squee. Maybe it was just a coincidence but one never knows when coincidence might turn into serendipity. “If you need anything, I’ll be at the Inn.”
“Ready Leanon?”

"Hmmm...Yes, ready!" Leanon gave a swift bow, her long robes dusting the floor slightly.
"Have a lovely evening Centon, may no harm come to you on this night"
She opened the door, holding it open with one hand and using the other to gesture to Remmington. "After you, sir."

“No, no, after you!” and as Remington is saying this IT decide to rush the door and collides with the Salmon and they ricocheting off each other and into Remington who goes head first into the door, bounces backwards into Leanon and they all tumble into a pile of hands and legs. The little bell on the door rings merrily.
“Whoa… Leanon, I’m so sorry!”

Leanon hit the ground with a dull thump and a loud "oomph!" Her top hat flew into the air and landed right on the salmons head, it suited him rather well.
"Erm..it's quite all right sir remmington, but umm...Could you please remove your hand?" Leanon pointed down to her chest area with look of obvious embarassment.

Remington turns a beet red. “WHOA!” Remington quickly removes his hand. “I… I… I… I’m so sorry!”

Leanon snickered slightly, before composing herself and standing upright, dragging the salmon off the cobbles with her.
"Erm..Lets never talk of this again." She stated with a hint of an amused smile.
"Now, to the Inn!"

Remington jumps up and says “To the Inn!” and rushes out the door.

Centon shook his head. Humans are strange creatures... he thought as he locked the door.
Thank the gods that another day is over with... but tomorrow comes much too soon...

The night passed without incident. Sure, there were the random bits of goblin found outside of the shop like every other morning -- Squee must be feeling like his usual self once more.
Jessi opened the shade on the door and flipped the sign to open. She looked much better after a good night's sleep. The human did a quick sweep of the area, making sure that everything was in place.
Now... just wait and they will come...

Rotzi growled as she settled down behind the bar with her cup of tea. The morning was going slow. There were the usual customers of the elves coming to get their blackmail developed.
However, as was common with her and developing other people's blackmail, she kept an extra copy. Not for herself, of course, but for the customers. She's found that sometimes the person that took the photos usually lost them or had them stolen.
Of course, she had never had that problem. Not once had she actually take any blackmail of the higher ranking officials. She had enough problems just keeping the goblins at bay. That and keeping Squee happy.
Speaking of that.... Rotzi looked over at the sleeping ball of fur and feathers. It's about time to feed him... She went upstairs to her apartment, only to return a few moments later with a steak in a pink cat dish.
"Squee! Breakfast." Jessi sat the steak down next to the demon, scritching him behind the ears to wake him up. After she was certain he was awake, Rotzi returned to her cup of tea. If We don't get any more business soon, 'm gonna go nuts...
