::Iole tries to act natural, though Oliver's statement makes her blush a little::
Ollie, you know that guy we saw at the show? We get the feeling he's here. Keep your eyes peeled. If he's following us, he's likely to know something about what we're looking for.

:Kenny realized he was right about having a bad feeling about this festival but he slowly shook his head for now at Takano when she asked if he needed anything.:
"I could have sworn that I saw something..Didn't you?"

"Saw something like what? I didn't see anything that would make me want to empty my stomach like you seem about to do." The blond nurse places her hand on Kenny's forehead. "You feel a little feverish. Why don't you go sit down. I'll tell your friends you aren't feeling well."

:Kenny slowly began to sit down for now as he begin to breathe a bit while scratching his head for a moment as he knew he saw something dreadful. But why did he see it and why did he feel so funny?:

That's an interesting theory Ollie, just one problem. I haven't eaten or drunk anything.
::She searches the crowd again with her eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of their albatross::
Well I don't see him now, but that doesn't mean he isn't around. From what I remember from the show, he looked like a Burmecian.... with leprosy.

Oliver looks to Iole with a frustrated expression and sighs.
"Tere's on'y 'ike a dozen of my'ind here, sumone 'ike tat wou'd stand out. Think 'aybe ta dancin is mess'in wit ya head or sumtin, go sit, I'll grab sum water or sumtin."
Oliver turns around and as he does, spots Takano and Kenny. "See, 'ike Kenny, he's sitt'in. 'Aybe ta creepy nurse can help ya? Oh!" Oliver exclaims excitedly. "Ta Crest doc is here, he'd 'now wha'ta do! Wan me ta'go get him?"

::Iole tries to explain that she feels fine, but she notices the beads of sweat forming on her head, and decides she might be a little more out of it than she thinks::
Sure. I'd love to meet your doctor. Everyone here doesn't seem to be able to stop talking about him.

:Kenny started to look around hoping that strange looking being was there. When he couldn't see it he just sighed looking a bit upset as he nearly stumbled a bit on the ground and then slowly he got back up and sat down feeling a bit embarrased by what had just happen.:

You see him too? I didn't see him so much as feel him. I guess it's that whole telepathy thing. You okay?

:Kenny sees Iole and does his best to smile despite feeling a bit tired: "Him? I saw something, it looked scary and I couldn't breathe or anything but hear its laughter. I'm fine, but i don't know why i'm sweating"

"Ya, he's great!" Says Oliver with a little jump and smile. "Bes'ting ta ever happen to ta Crest, he is! Wen'against ta royal family's decree abut free medicine, work'd wit ta gangs ta get stuff to ta people an doesn't ask ques'ions! Wun'er were he 'ent..."
Oliver steps away and frantically looks around for a glimpse of the good doctor.
((finish more later, just put out a fire in my resident hall... tired and covered with ash and fire suppressant... yea... arson))

((You saw something, Ren, read the post again )) "Ladies and Gentlemen, castaways and cutouts!" From the raised platform where the heads of the gangs dine stands Mose the Flame, leader of the Bowery Boys. In his hand is a glass which is raised above the crowd below. "I am honored to address you'all here, tonight, this tenth annual Festival of St. Stephen. On this night we honour those fallen heroes who are no longer with us." He turns slightly, motioning to the Shaunkill gang leader, Gregory 'Black dog' Bourke. A young adult, perhaps around 19 years of age, sitting at the head of the long table. "And the Shaunkills, who have taken the reigns of the Crest upon themselves to steer this year." He turns back to the crowd. "Finally, it is the decision of the heads to dedicate this festival to our healing angel sent from on high, the Crest's very own doctor who without, the bleak winters and bloody summers would have driven many of us here today to our early graves. Where are you, doctor!?" The crowd murmurs as many heads look around, Mose's eyes scan the crowd, but failing to find the doctor he raise's his glass once again into the air. "Our doctor must of stepped out for a leak! Hah!" He downs the glasses contents. There's a roar of applauds and laughter from the crowd. "Now, keeping with tradition, bring out the wrens!" Three boys emerge on the platform, carrying one bird cage each. They set them on the railing and in unison, they each place a hand over the cage door. Suddenly the crowd begins to sing, following the cues from Moses who conducts the crowd like they were an orchestra. The wren, the wren, the king of all birds, On St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze, Up with the kettle and down with the pan, Give us some gil to bury the wren. With the last word sung, the three boys open the bird cages and three wren's fly out over the crowd. After a few moments, Moses silences the crowd. "Now everyone, get drunk and drop some gil!"

::Iole glowers at Ren::
If you didn't see anything, then why did you look like you were about to wet yourself?
::She returns her attention to the festivities::
So that's your gang leader? He seems like a nice guy. Cute too. Black Dog, right? Doesn't look like the Doc made it. Shoot, I was hoping to meet him.

Oliver glazes over for a moment as Iole talks a mile-a-minute but, shakes out of it.
"Uh... yea, 'ice, sure. An dunno where ta doc wen, I don't. Was'ere jus a min'ut ago..."
Looking back to the group, his eyes falling on each person one by one. "So.. ya all gon'a be ok or sumtin?"

The group suddenly feels that same chill Iole felt earlier, but turning around, they'll only find a back entrance, barely visible from the dance floor. It seems to lead to an empty back alley. But if they listen closely, they'll hear something that could either be an aggressive make-out, or a struggle.
"Alright Kenny, I got you an ice pack. This should make things a little better." Takano returns with a small bag of ice she probably stole from where the food is being kept. "So what's up with you guys anyway? This is a party. Look like you're enjoying it."

::Iole ignores Takano and points to the back door that the strange chill seems to have led her to. She tugs Kenny's sleeve and points::
Think we should go check it out? That might have been how he got out of here so fast without anyone seeing him.

:Kenny listens and sees the back door where he can hear noises coming from it.:
"Sounds like a plan..Alright but let's be careful sis."

The two of them leave out the back door quietly, leaving Oliver and Ren to deal with the increasingly agitated blond nurse. They exit the door and find themselves wrapped in the cold night air. The lights seem to be out. The alleyway is pitch black, and the two of them have to hold hands and stay close to know where they're going. Kenny takes another step, and finds that the toe of his boot connects with something stiff on the ground.
