((There's no need to wait for another RP, pretty much all of them are always looking for more people. If you're want to play an RP where you have a bit more freedom to do what you want, I would suggest the Highschool Anime RP.))
Elan is wandering around when he comes across a man up to his shoulders in quicksand. He finds a convenient branch nearby, picks it up, and sticks (no pun intended) it out to the man. "Need a little help?"
Elan sips his drink while reading the book. Even though he had no idea where he was besides a vague idea that he was in Castle Town, he wasn't bothered. He had always been a sucker for a good book.
Elan wasn't sure when he had ended up in a building but hey, might as well. He sits in the chair and picks up the book, though he doesn't touch the drink, as they forgot to give him something to drink out of.
