Dropping In (Amanda)
Akantha usually didn't encroach into another Guardian's territory, but a contact of hers had given her a heads up about a necklace that was of interest. Rumor had it that it once belonged to Helen of Troy and could charm men when worn. Akantha had her doubts, but she had to check it out. It was her job after all.

The necklace was in Washington D.C. and Baltimore wasn't that far away. After she had checked out the necklace and realized it was a fake, she headed north to Baltimore to visit an old friend. She could have knocked on the door, but where was the fun in that? She picked the lock and let herself in.

"Anyone home?"

	"No. I am not here. You are burglarizing my home," Amanda says drily, then steps into the foyer with a smile. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"That would only be true if I were going to steal something. I believe I am breaking and entering." Akantha smiled and hugged Amanda. "I would have called, but I still don't like telephones much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They can be such nuisances." Amanda hugs back. "Can I get you something to drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wine would be lovely," Akantha said. "I was down in Washington D.C. and figured I would swing by and say hi. Someone was claiming to have a necklace that belonged to Helen of Troy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know, someone really should read the fine print about those Greek divine necklaces of unbridled beauty and sexuality also being terribly bad luck. Is the source reliable?" Amanda asks as she pours the wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was a fake," she said. "It looked to be of first century design." Akantha shrugged. "People never read the fine print. Not in the history of man. How have you been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amanda sighs. "Indeed. Still, at least things didn't get out of hand here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-03 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Speaking of getting out of hand, I've heard you've had some adventures with vampires. Care to elaborate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-03 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah, vampirse. Come to recover a dangerous artifact, stay for the brawl. Met some really great kids. Worked with them sense; one of them's been going through some trauma, poor thing, but they're all very capable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-03 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad you're getting out and having some fun," Akantha said with a big smile. "What artifact?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Another blood-magic concentration sphere. I've taken care it's somewhere safe now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No matter how long we do this, there's always another thing to get out of circulation. I guess that's a good thing in that we'll always have something to do, but it does get to be a pain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hear, hear," Amanda says, raising a glass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-04 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	Akantha raised her glass and then took a sip. "If you're going to keep having adventures with supernatural beings, I think I may know some items that could help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-05 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Amanda's not surprised by the suggestion, but she looks appreciative. "The kids get over their heads some; could use what they can get. What're you thinking of?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-05 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"I've heard rumors of the Staff of Solomon resurfacing. I was going to check them out anyway, but if you're going to be fighting vampires it'll help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-06 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"Hmmm. It really would, dear. Any details?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-06 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"Nothing solid. Rumors mostly, but I want to check them out. I've been trying to find that for the better part of a thousand years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-06 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"What's the general location indicated?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-06 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"The rumors say Russia near Moscow," she said. "I would call Ymesit, but you know how he is about leaving his place. It could be on fire and he'd still find a reason to stay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-07 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Set as the stones, yes. Hmmm." Amanda is thoughtful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-07 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	"I know that look and that hmmm. What idea do you have?" Akantha asked as she finished off the last of her wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-10 09:41 am UTC (link)
	"I'm considering if it would be a good idea to try to round up the kids for looking into it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	oooh_shiny 2011-08-10 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe wise to keep them out of it," Akantha said. "I will go and see if it's a rumor or not. You can go with me if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_adult 2011-08-10 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Good point. And I'd like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tomorrow work for you?" Akantha asked with a smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)
