Daring Do and The Jeweled Opal

You immediately respond to the intruder with a volley of harsh threats. You warn the stranger about the dangers of breaking into your home.

There's a pause. Obviously the mysterious stranger needs a moment or two to process the amount of threats and warnings you throw his way.

"Yes...quite," the intruder answers, clearing his throat before shifting in place. Creaks from your favorite reading chair can be heard as the visitor stands up and walks closer. "Your reputation...certainly proceeds you," he adds as he can be heard walking in closer.

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.

"Perhaps we got off on the wrong hoof. 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.
