Welcome to Gaia! ::

" You know once upon a time it was cute when you chewed up my mail, now you know better" Umbra admonished the neon green and black dog that walked beside her. Decusuna the dog in question had 'fetched' the mail earlier that morning and left it somewhat worse for the wear. Looking at her canine companion Umbra noted that the dog showed no shame and was enjoying the long walk they were taking to the address on said mail.

Umbra hoped that whatever this account business was wouldn't take too long, she'd left Soren in Tybalt's care and the artistic teen was not the best of babysitters. " If this is some sort of you've already won just pay us a grand scam I am not going to be happy" she muttered lengthening her stride and picking up the pace. She's never even heard of this place before and Neph would have told her about any bank accounts they shared.

Once she'd reached the building in question she paused for a moment to tie Decs up before walking calmly in.

Amber eyes searched briefly before locking onto someone standing at a counter. Umbra walked over to the young man standing there and smiled somewhat pleasently at him. If this wasn't a scam then starting their meeting off on bad note would probably not help her. " Excuse me sir , I recieved a paper in my mail that directed me to come here" she said fishing the paper in question out of her purse.

There was no fake cheer from this man, no lets charm the sucker smile thus Umbra decided this was legit even if it made no sense. Betting that this was one of Talon's subtle ways of giving her money with some sort of trick involved she nodded." Well this is odd but then again everything on gaia is, is there anything I need to do to get into the account any sort of tests?"

While Umbra was curious she held back her remaining questions, this Prosper man looked exhausted and probably didn't need to face the spanish inquisition. Besides, often times things answered themselves when given enough time.

Umbra wondered for a moment which of her parent's sides of the family was responsible for this. None of them as far as she knew were natives to Gaia, in fact she was one of the first in quite some time to find her way there. Pleased that she might be able to add a new peice of information to her rather jumbled and patchwork family tree she nodded again.

She handed the tag over to the young woman after scanning it one last time and commiting the words on it to memory. Taking the case she opened the lid and peered inside. Reaching in Umbra gently plucked the key from the case and brought it out so she could better look at it. It ivory in colour if not in composition and obviously somewhat old. The grip was a large creacent moon that gave Umbra a quick flashback to her Sailor Moon veiwing days. However the thing that interested her most about the key was the strange black lettering on it. The language it was in was none she recalled ever having seen before.

"It's beautifull she murmered before looking back at Prosper " If this is the key I can't wait to see what was left behind in the account."

Umbra walked into the vault room and grinned, apparently today was going to be a good day. Still a part of her held a bit of suspicion and she turned to face Propser " Are you sure there's no strange trick to this like having to replace the item taken with something else?"

Umbra nodded and turned to the task at hand, she remembered the information that had been on the paper so it shouldn't be to hard. Before her was a small compter terminal already at the login page, she walkedo ver to it and quickly typed in her account number and key name.

Suddenely the screen turned black then blue and then black again. Umbra cursed figuring she'd done something wrong , she was about to go call for help when dozens of strange yet familiar symbols appeared on the screen. Looking down she recognized them as the same type as those on the key. Blue lines appeared creating a grid around each symbol.

"Well that's rather smart" Umbra mused getting it. Even if someone had managed to break there way into the vault and had known the account number and key name they couldn't access the account without the key becuase they needed it to counter the last safety measure. Using the mouse she swiftly clicked the symbols in the order they appeared on the key and waited.

She heared a soft whirring sound and looked down to see the bottom of the terminal open to reveal an ornate lockbox. Kneeling down the place the key in the hole and gentely turned it smiling shen she heard a click, so far so good.

Lifting the lid she frowned at the contents. A rather boring looking picture was what she'd come here for, the key was more interesting than this was, why would anyone in her family leave behind an old picture that didn't show anything.

Nevertheless the retreived the picture and key then knocked quickly on the door three times.

Umbra walked over to prosper eyeing the papers warily, she hoped she wasn't going to have to sign anything overly important, she hated reading fineprint and she didn't have the patience to sift through the regular documents, besides she needed to get home to Soren and Tybalt.

" I have the uh, picture that was left to me" She raised an eyebrow " So now what?"
