Daring Do and The Jeweled Opal

Without losing your cool, you straighten up to face your shadow covered visitor and casually welcome them into your home. You promptly follow the pleasantries with asking them their name and why they're here.

"Pardon the intrusion. You're reputation proceeds you," the figure answers as the shadows shift. Creaks from your favorite reading chair can be heard as the visitor stands up and walks closer. "I know you're not one for visitors and I wasn't sure if you would simply ignore my offer without giving it thought."

Now entering the light, the mysterious visitor reveals himself as a dark green earth pony dressed in a pressed three piece suit. A bushy gray beard hangs off his chin as a pair of thick lensed glasses balance themselves on the notch of his snout. His eyes have a subtle wisdom behind their lavender color, a mark of a studious and world wary pony.

"My name is Bookmark," the earth pony says, extending a hoof, "Professor Bookmark."

>Shake the Professor's hoof and politely introduce yourself as well.

>Ignore the extended hoof and demand that he tells you why he's here.
