Alex Thorne unlocked the door to a small antiques shop called Curious Goods and opened the door. It was around noon and she was just opening the store. She didn't really keep set hours at the store since it was more of a hobby for her and not a means of income. She entered and flipped the light switch. Lights in the store came to life and revealed a shop full of old objects from all over the world. Some weren't worth much while more expensive items were hidden among the clutter.

An orange tabby meowed and brushed up against her legs. "Good morning, Plato," she said and reached down to give his ears a scritch. "Let's get this day started shall we?"

"Thanks," Jack says putting on the gloves and very carefully grabbing a scroll to read.

The scroll was a in Demotic and was in rather good condition plus the text seemed rather interesting from what he remembered of Demotic of the top of his head.

"This is in fantastic condition," Jack says, "And it's written in Demotic right." He did have to play the part of a kid out of college.

	"Yes it is," she said. Not many would recognize Demotic if it was in front of them. She was a bit impressed. "I've had that for quite some time." At least a thousand years give or take a decade or two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've got a professor who will be very happy to know some one wasn't sleeping through his big unit about the Rosetta Stone," Jack says which wasn't a lie, "Any idea of the content?" She seemed like the type that definitely had a full translation of it somewhere. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It describes a religious ceremony," she answered. "I may have a translation around here somewhere." She went behind the counter and pulled out a large binder and started searching through it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He had gotten that much from what he could translate with his rusty Demotic. "Thanks," Jack says carefully rolling up the scroll, putting it back, and walking over towards her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course," she said. She turned the binder around and offered it to him. "This is the translation that I have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure. I'm pretty sure I have one on me," Jack says fishing around in his pocket before pulling out a card to hand to her. It gives his 'name' Jack Young and bookshop Mile High Books, and it's address in Denver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
