Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ok," she said good naturedly. She began to walk down the road, then looked back and waited for him, "You comming?"

They come into the town, it's crowded and there is a thrum of noise that fills Kausmi's ears and make her head hurt. "why do they all have to be so noisy?" she asked no-one in an exasperated tone. She looked to Dashaco, "so where was this gold digger boss guy?"

Kasumi looked around. If I were a business man where would I be? she stood in the street for a moment thinking. It's no good. I haven't got a clue where he might be. She saw some men that looked like miners go into a pub and got an idea. she walked into the pub without hesitation. She stood on a table and waited to get everyone's attention. "does anyone know where I might find the man who's in charge of the mining expidition in the mountains?" she asked boldly.

She battered her eye lashes at him, "casue I hear he pays well..." she said playfully. "and I have a bone to pick with him." she said more seriously. "Could you tell me where I can find him?" she slid off the table, and looked at the big man and his friend.

"thank you." she smiled sweetly and left the bar.
She walked down the street and started looking for Dashaco so she could tell him what she had found out.

Kasumi looked around. The houses looked older and more run down in this district. The west side of town.... I can't imagine why rich man would want to live here. She thought as she walked down the street. Up ahead she saw someone familar. She ran to catch up with him, "There you are!" she grabed his arm. "I've been looking everywhere for you! and You'll never guess. That man we're looking for, he lives out here somewhere." she used her other hand to indiacte the older houses. "The man I was talking to said he lives in an old shak. It shouldn't be hard to find." she said enthusiastically.

She smiled at him, "don't worry. I think it's this way. Keep your eyes peeled for a run down little shak. It should be right on the outskirts of the town." she smiled at him and led the way down the street. As they walked the crowd started to thin until they were the only ones on the narrow road. "I wonder where everyone went?" she asked curiously.

There were fewer houses now and the ones that still stood looked abandoned. Kasumi could see a small shak about a 100 meters away. "Hey, I think that's it!" she exclaimed. "But what's a rich man doing in a dump like this?" she asked curiously. She looked at Dashaco, "Should we knock first?" she said as she walked up the small dirt path. She eyed the grimmy door with distaste, she really didn't want to touch it.
