Arriving At Headquarters

JP with Jaxx, Redsword, Omni, and Cindy

Dumont stirred, he had somehow managed to fall asleep, even on the bumpy, chugging, steam bus ride.

He sat up and straitened his posture from its slouched position and blinked away the morning glare.

“Excusé moi.” he muttered in apology for his poor manners.

"That is quite alright," Elizabeth said kindly to Dumont, "I suspect you might have had a late night."

The fence finally came to an entrance. At the entrance were two elaborate iron gates. In very well polished bronze letters a sign read, "Société Vedette." Under that "Est. 1710."

The bus stopped for a moment to allow the guard in the booth to hit a button. Slowly, wheels turned at the sides of the gates. The gates opened and the bus pulled through.

The bus pulled through and traveled for a minute or two then made a left and stop at a huge mansion there was a man standing near the road one dressed in a suit. Waiting he looked to be a doorman or greeter. There are several guards around They are rather noticeable Mostly human but an Orc is also near the door.

Sung stands to make sure Lady Elizabeth is the first to get off the bus with himself right behind her. After they get off the bus Sung steps to one side. The team can get off the bus so they can stand on the left side of Elizabeth almost making them fall into a line of sorts. Of course, with Cronk coming off Sung takes half of a step forward so as not to get in Cronk's way.

Dr. Jackal waits till everyone is off the bus before he gets off as well. He was trying to draw less attention to himself from the hosts. He figured he already did enough damage to Lady Elizabeth’s reputation when he transformed at the Expo. He had his gray top hat on and his rose colored glasses on to somewhat mask his appearance.

In front of the rather large building, is a courtyard with a fountain, trees and flowers. The large U-shaped building is made of a brown stone like material, nothing particularly attractive or outstanding about it, except possibly the size. Still, there is a feeling here like there is more to this place than just this building.

The man near the road gives a little bow, "Lady Elizabeth, bonjour, it is good to see you again," he speaks in a French accent but it is not very thick. Almost as if he hasn't always lived in France.

"Hello, Frédéric." Elizabeth responded, with a pleasant tone to her voice. She turned towards the bus driver, "That will be all, Marcil, thank you."

Marcil then drove away.

The Orc who standing near the door, looked amazed as he spotted Cronk exiting the bus.

"Please, follow me everyone." Frédéric said, once everyone was off the bus.
