[i]A mysterious figure is seen out in the yard
He appears to be an old man, you feel like you've seen him before. The weathered face, the wise grey eyes, the travel-worn clothes underneath the cloak
And that bag. Where have you seen that bag?[/i]
"Oh how the years roll on by..."
[i]The figure turns, you see him smiling. That smile... All of this seems so familiar[/i]
"The children play, happily, they play their little games. Oh what fun they must be having!"
[i]The figure suddenly notices you[/i]
"Oh, my apologies. I was rambling, I tend to do that. Anyways, this is an interesting place you have here"

[b]Lego jumps from the second floor and lands unharmed[/b] Hello?
-
Shadows wisp around the edge of your vision. [i]"Salad, Stein, Seller of Stones... It's good to see you, you old sack of bones."[/i]
-
[i]The figure laughs[/i] "Those were troubling times, but all that is past. I was lost, now I have been found. The universe has thrown many a challenge at me, and every time I've thrown it back, beaten and conquered." [i]The figure looks up at the sky[/i] "I've been to many places, seen many things. And I'll probably see many more. But for the moment, I wanted to see what was happening to the children. They're fine I see"

[spoiler]Hey rift.[/spoiler]
-
"You are?"
-
[i]The figure chuckles[/i] "What importance are names? Oh fine. Hm... I'll put it this way, I'm an old friend. I've been around a long time, watching you play your little games" [i]The figure turns back to the way he was[/i] "And now I've decided to finally come out of hiding. See what trouble I can get into" [i]He turns his head slightly[/i] "And to help others learn, maybe even make a profit while I'm at it"
-
"names are important I've learned, for by them you abolish fear and establish knowledge" [b]You realize this was all in your head, coming from a man opening a crate[/b]

[i]the figure laughs[/i] "Mind games, I see..." [i]The figure pulls out a piece of paper, writes a single letter on it, and places it on a tree The letter is R[/i] "You want my name? There's the first letter. Play a little game to figure it out. I'll warn you though, my name is a bit tricky to pronounce for some people" [i]The figure resumes looking into the distance[/i]
-
"heh. i dont play or force people to play games, that was uncalled for"
-
[i]The figure turns a little[/i] "I wasn't forcing you, or anyone for that matter. It's there if you're curious enough. If you want, consider me "The Merchant" until you find out my name, it seems to be a title I picked up somewhere. Satisfied? Good" [i]The Merchant turns back to look at the sky for a bit, then decides this has gotten boring and looks for somewhere else that's interesting[/i]
-
"Not Interesting? good luck finding another trader to get goods."
-
[i]The Merchant chuckles as he's walking away[/i] "I have my ways"
-
"anyhow, best of luck"
