A Night in the Inn | 5.15.14

[Head Moderator]

Tesarik One: (back)

psionic wanderer: (wb!)

Tesarik One: Maria was in the tap room of the inne, sitting on a stool

behind the bar with a book open in front of her. She was making marks in the

book, as she went through a stack of parchments, to determine the bills and

such owed and paid by

Tesarik One: the Heart. She always did owe quite a big bill to the Port

Union for whisking the adventurers all around Arith, but she didn't mind

paying because they always took them, and brought them back anytime Maria

needed them to do so. Hana

Tesarik One: was wiping down the tables, humming some island tune she'd been

taught as a child and other than that the inne was fairly empty for the

evening.

psionic wanderer: And Dorian, as per normal, just showed right up out of

nowhere, popping into existence behind the counter this time, and once again

not breaking stride until he got to the tea kettle, as if he'd just walked in

from another room.

psionic wanderer: "Hello there, my lovelies." He winked to Hana, then moved

in and gave Maria a kiss on the cheek before moving away again to sort out

his cup of tea.

Tesarik One: She glanced over as Dorian appeared, and smiled at the kiss to

the cheek, then went right back to doing the books. Hana wiggled her fingers

towards him with a grin, and then went back to wiping down every one of the

polished wooden

Tesarik One: tables. Maria did a few more numbers, then spoke, "How are you

this evening, my dear?"

psionic wanderer: "Oh, you know, same as ever." She should certainly know

what that meant! Hana probably did too by now, ha! He picked up his teacup,

then sat himself down on the customer side of the bar to have a sip. "And how

are you ladies?

psionic wanderer: Everything going well tonight?"

Tesarik One: "Well, same as ever is a hell of a lot better than worse than

normal." She grinned over at him, watching him a moment, and then leaned on

one elbow as he sat across the bar where the customers normally sat. "Quiet

tonight, I think

Tesarik One: everyone's packing up and heading to Zyon for the Wandering

Tournament, the flies appeared just the other day.

Tesarik One: "*

psionic wanderer: "Hmm." He nodded a little, thinking on Zyon. "Ah, my

homeland. Well, where I woke up this time, at any rate. I haven't been to my

little house there in a while, I wonder how it's doing." He didn't have much

interest in the

Dizzy and then he'd just bust out laughing for no reason.. they may have even

heard the cackle from upstairs during the night. But he'd had enough, perhaps

something highly

x Silver Heat x: alcoholic would clear his mind; since it certainly wouldn't

make him forget. Coming down the stairs and into the Inne with a little less

composure than usual he looked up and saw Dorian chatting with the ladies of

the bar and dark

x Silver Heat x: eyes narrowed as if he'd seen his worst enemy. Another

cackle could be heard bubbling out of his throat of it's own will.. and that

irritated him even more. [ Willpower check ]

OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x rolled 1 20-sided die: 7

Apparatus Bellum: The Rumerian wanderer turned one last glance over his

shoulder to the enormous beast of a destrier he had intrusted to the

stablehands on the grounds of the Inne, knowing well the snowy white and

tempermental creature could go from

x Silver Heat x: [ I'm gonna go with that failed XD ]

Apparatus Bellum: placid tundra to raging blizzard in an instant. Lips

thinned and he turned away, plodding on to the entrance of the inne. When he

appeared in the doorway, he did not present an impressive sight. Unshaven,

with a wild mop of black

Tesarik One: Hearing the cackle coming from Akito, that drew Maria's

attention with a little bit of a stare - that was odd. She smiled though,

maybe he just thought something was funny. "Evening Akito. Care for a drink?"

She slid off her stool

Tesarik One: and went to get a glass in anticipation of him saying yes.

psionic wanderer: tournament, though, what with everything else going on

lately. Had to keep focused or he'd never get anything done! As for cackling,

he certainly hadn't heard any, but he'd been otherwise occupied until the

early morning hours. He

Apparatus Bellum: hair tied in a loose knot above his head, he wore little

more than the garb of a weathered wayfarer, and the fatigue of travel was

plain in the bags beneath his eyes. He might have appeared a common bum, if

not for the hulking slab

psionic wanderer: glanced over to Akito and nodded. "Hello there." And then

he went right back to looking at all the pretty woman in the room. Ah,

decisions, decisions, who to gaze at more frequently? Then something odd

occurred to him.

Apparatus Bellum: of steel strapped across his back with a thick leather

strap. He paused in the entryway, scanning the place with dark eyes.(d)

x Silver Heat x: As Dorian spoke, he seemed to get more irritated and made

straight for the man and as if he were taloned took closed fists and one-two

punched him in the face. "Shut up!" He demanded, and despite the demand

cackled again completely

x Silver Heat x: ignoring Maria's greeting. [d]

Apparatus Bellum: His eyebrows vaulted and lips pressed together, gaze

following the sudden outbreak of violence as he moved a few steps into the

room. As he tilted his shoulder to unsling the shield from his back, he

seemed prepared to intervene.(d)

x Silver Heat x: Cackle rose and he gestured for the man to come on.

"Whatcha gonna do, man?" Akito appeared to be itching for a fight and despite

the sudden and momentary disorientation he was ready for Dorian.

psionic wanderer: Well when he heard that shut up, he turned to Akito,

conveniently just in time to get his chops busted. He let out a grunt and

fell right off his stool, landing with a thud. "..ow." He picked himself

up...or started to anyway, when

Tesarik One: Maria smiled as the road-weary man appeared at the door, and

was about to be all inviting...when Akito just came over and hit Dorian. Oh

dear, she really did not approve of fights in her inne, but something seemed

off. Akito had

psionic wanderer: Akito asked him what he'd be doing. "Fight dirty." And

then he shoved his hand toward Akito, sending a blast of telekinesis right at

his midsection. (Fight, naturally)

Tesarik One: never been violent like this. She raised her voice though,

"What the fuck is going on?"

Apparatus Bellum: Seeing as the woman didn't seem to be directly involved,

he moved closer to her and asked in his thick Rumeric accent, calm despite

the tension in the room, "Es this normal?"(d)

Tesarik One: "Akito! What in the name of the Six are you doing?" She shouted

again. She moved closer to the man when he came over, and frowned. "No, and

it might well end very badly."

he hit with that blast, regardless of the fact that it hadn't been a

particularly solid hit! (brb!)

Tesarik One: (Just a quick reminder for everyone, as this is the first brawl

I think we've had in a while in OH... brawls are quick and fast, you don't

use anything except combat dice + trait so if you punch you'd use STR unles

syou have Dex

Tesarik One: Fighter, QCK for ranged, INT for spells. You can be wearing

armor but you don't use armor stats either. Just dice to dice basically, and

they do not end in death just KO)

Tesarik One: (If by chance you are drunk, then you do not get QCK to Strike.

Just using this as a teaching moment!)

x Silver Heat x: Hearing his name, the glare turned on the woman. "This guy

is irritating the hell out of me! hehehe.." He exclaimed as Dorian fought

dirty and hit him with a blast of telekinesis, sending him stumbling back but

did nothing but -

Tesarik One: Akito 14/32 [17] || Dorian 5/61[11]

x Silver Heat x: incite his anger already.

Tesarik One: "You just walked into the room....how is he irritating you so

quickly?" She was still frowning, even as Dorian sent the man across the

floor. Thank goodness she'd gotten that mythal for the inne worked up, things

would fix

Tesarik One: themselves in 24 hours. "This is not like you Akito. You two

need to fucking STAND DOWN!"

x Silver Heat x: Akito stopped for a moment, almost as if her words got

through and he put a hand over his face as another bout of dizziness hit him.

psionic wanderer: "Yes, it does usually take a few minutes, at least. Did I

sleep with your wife or something? Sister? Daughter? All of the above?"

Dorian was probably not helping!

Apparatus Bellum: "He must be heving a bad day." The stranger suggested

quietly, visibly confused by the entire situation.(d)

Tesarik One: "Oh gods." She put her hand on the front of her face a moment

as Dorian chose his words, not very diplomatic was he? He glanced to the

Rumerian fellow and shook her head, then looked back over towards Akito and

then Dorian.

psionic wanderer: He really wasn't. Don't send him on the diplomatic

missions!

OnlineHost: you win or die has entered the room.

x Silver Heat x: Fingernails dug into the skin as he stared at Dorian again

with absolute hatred. Growling, and then launching back at Dorian again it

would be a booted foot in his gut then. "I thought I said shut up!" Tenor

screeched in a very un-

Apparatus Bellum: "This one, he is aggressor, I see this." He pointed at

Akito, speaking aside to Maria. "Is not my business, but maybe I step in? I

am thinking he needs a nap."(d)

Tesarik One: "Drink?" She brought out a bottle of whiskey, and poured a

glass for the stranger. "I would suggest staying out of it, at least for now.

Dorian.." She pointed out Dorian, "he can handle himself."

Tesarik One: She sipped her whiskey. "Akito ... the aggressor as you say...

this isn't like him. Something is at work here beyond what I can see."

psionic wanderer: He grunted and doubled over a bit at the boot to the gut,

and was tempted to just try and drive his hook through the offending limb,

but he didn't want to permanently injure the man. He growled then, and it was

a rare time that

psionic wanderer: he made noises like that when he wasn't around his dear

friend Halcyon! "I'll give him fucking nap." The next blast of telekinesis

was aimed at Akito's head this time, trying to knock some sense into him. Or

out of him, if it hit

Tesarik One: NOW Akito knocked the hell out!

Apparatus Bellum: reasons to be fighting, sometimes." He shrugged and tipped

back the glass, nearly draining it in one practiced swig. His throat tight in

the wake of the drink he repeated, rasping, "Hard to know."

Apparatus Bellum: (d)

psionic wanderer: "Fuck's sake, man." He ran his tongue against his lip,

which had been bloodied a bit, tattoo or no.

x Silver Heat x: And just like that, the asian hit the floor like a ton of

bricks and still as death unmoving.

you win or die: Blinking, she woke from her dream...Which wasn't easy since

she was a deep sleeper. Yanwing, she slipped from the bed the jumper was

slipped on. River slowly came down the stairs and came into a bar brawl.

"What that goddess!" Nose

Tesarik One: "True, true." What an odd way to make an acquaintance, but she

offered her hand to the man and smiled, "Maria. Owner of this inne, and the

adventuring company based out of here." She winced seeing Akito knocked

around like a rag

psionic wanderer: He reached into his satchel and pulled out his deathwatch

lenses, slipping the red-lensed glasses on to look at Akito and make sure he

hadn't killed the man. Which would, conveniently, tell him if Akito was under

any odd effects!

Tesarik One: doll, but at least he'd knocked him out for a minute or two.

you win or die: twitch and she hurried down. Bare feet barely made a noise

since she had forgotten them. Only Dorian was putting on a strange...."Can I

help with anything?" Sleepy head look on her face and messed up hair. Yup.

She was ready for

you win or die: anything. [d]

Apparatus Bellum: A gave a scant appreciative nod at Doran's precise

handling of the situation, saying to him as Akito fell, "Remind me not to

punch you for no reason." And a flash of a smile was added at that, before he

turned just in time to catch

psionic wanderer: He glanced up, half expecting another person from upstairs

to come take a swing at him, when he saw the pretty blonde! He sent her his

sauciest grin. "I can think of a few things. Maria, Akito's cursed." He

slipped off the glasses,

psionic wanderer: then tucked them back into his satchel and produced a

handkerchief, holding it to his lip. "Which might explain a few things, as I

don't remember even meeting any of his relatives, much less sleeping with

them." And was he being

Apparatus Bellum: Maria's extended hand. He caught it with his free hand and

offered a firm squeeze, his smile only growing. "You are the owner? I hed

hoped to find you. My name es Abram. I hev heard much about your company."(d)

psionic wanderer: seen as a hardass now? He glanced over to the new fellow

and nodded. "It's probably best you don't."

Tesarik One: And with little to no damage to her inne! She glanced to the

woman as she came down from the inne rooms, and then over to Dorian a moment

as he put on his deathwatch lenses. As the new man squeezed hers, she turned

back and gave him

Tesarik One: a smile, "Abram, good to meet you. And I do hope that it is

positive things you've heard about the Heart. Give me one moment and then we

will talk further." She nodded to Dorian, wrinkling her nose a little. She

moved over to the

Tesarik One: fallen Akito, kneeling and lifting his head to rest on the

apron covering over skirt, upon her lap. She pressed her hand across his

forehead, and her eyes fluttered a bit, and then she removed her hand as well

as the curse with it.

Tesarik One: (Remove Curse) She shook Akito a bit, "Wakey, wakey, tough

guy."

psionic wanderer: "He'll be fine, just jostled his brain a bit. My lip does

hurt, though." Said before he eyed River. "You are a healer, yes?" Had she

said that, or was he just guessing? Who could say.

you win or die: Dorian got a flush of her cheeks before she shook her head.

Looking down to the passed out man, "Curses I cannot help with. The bump on

his head....yes." Suddenly the pretty red head, one she was told about was

kneeling and seeing

you win or die: to....the mystical part of what needed to be removed. [d]

psionic wanderer: He moved over and hooked his barstool with

his..well..hook, then picked it back up and sat once more, set down his

handkerchief and picked up his teacup, then had a sip.

Apparatus Bellum: Abram polished the remnants of his glass and set it on the

nearest surface, before settling into a wide stance and folding his arms,

content to watch.(d)

Tesarik One: (btw folks, I'm logging and will send this log in to Becca)

you win or die: She glanced to the between the knocked out and the red head.

Leaving this to her hands, she went over to Dorian. "Let me see the cut

please." She reached into her pocket of her jumper and pulled out a small

pouch. [d]

x Silver Heat x: Akito's raven brows both rose before his eyes would open,

and immediately a disdainful expression marred his features and a hand came

up to pinch his nose slightly. "What the hell.. I've got such a headache..

what happened?" When

psionic wanderer: He set down his teacup, then slid a little closer and

posed all still so she could examine his lip! And since speaking wouldn't do,

he just telepathed to Akito. *You're lucky you've just got a headache and not

a brain melt,

psionic wanderer: attacking me like that.*

x Silver Heat x: his eyes did open he realized he was on the floor with the

bar tender over him. Jolting to a sitting position, he looked around to see

Dorian and then hear his voice in his head. "Damn.. sorry about that man." He

didn't have a way

x Silver Heat x: to telepath that back so he said it aloud.

Tesarik One: "You were laughing oddly, and then came at Dorian and punched

him. He knocked you out, and then found out you had some sort of curse on

you. I've removed it. Here, let's get you a cup of tea." When he sat up, she

rose and moved

you win or die: Two fingers took his chin in her hand, and she blushed. Had

to stop that! "Hmm. It will swell, but I have..." Taking her hand away, she

dug around her mini homemade medical kit. A small jar was pulled out and a

cloth. Wiping tender-

Tesarik One: behind the bar and poured a cup of tea for Akito and slid it

across the bar. She moved down towards Abram again, where her whiskey glass

remained, but paused a moment to stare at the unknown female with Dorian

going all blushy on

Tesarik One: him. Nostrils flared a moment, lips set tight, but she pushed

forward and ended up back where her book was located. She smiled over to

Abram, "Alright then, now that's over... did you say you were hoping to find

me? Might I be so

Tesarik One: lucky as to assume you've got interest in the Heart?"

psionic wanderer: He could just self-heal it with his fun daeva powers, but

why bother when one could be tended to by a pretty lady? He did manage a

little bit of a grin when she blushed, but otherwise kept mostly still.

you win or die: ly at the blood till it was cleaner. The jar was opened with

a smell of roses and a oil. A little smeared as kindly as she could on the

cut. [d]

x Silver Heat x: Still a little disoriented from the blow, not the curse

Akito took a second to get to his feet. Following Maria to the bar, he'd not

protest the cup of tea though he didn't usually choose the beverage for

himself. Taking the cup he

x Silver Heat x: sipped it slowly. "I dunno what came over me." He had no

ill will toward anyone, other than his usual distrust of people until he knew

them.

Apparatus Bellum: Dark eyes darted between those present in the moments

before Maria returned to him, unspoken observations noted and tucked away.

Quick to smile when she addressed him again, he turned partially toward her

and nodded. "Ah, yes. These

Apparatus Bellum: things I hear are good, mostly. I em no farmer, no

carpenter, or somesuch. I cen swing a sword okay, and ride a horse like no

other. Things I know. I was thinking, maybe, I could be of use. If we are

liking one another, maybe I stay

Apparatus Bellum: a long time." He chased his words with a bright bar of a

smile, exuding kindness despite his weathered, haggard appearance.(d)

psionic wanderer: Well once he got rose stuff smeared on his cut, whe sat

back and returned to his tea, winking to the girl. "Thank you." Said in

Skeggan! And then he glanced over to Maria and the new fellow, having not

psionic wanderer: introduced himself. He sent a wave to the man. "Sorry

about all that mess right as you came in. My name is Dorian Thales, good to

have new people around. Speaking of, Maria, have you met River?" He gestured

towards the healer with

psionic wanderer: his hook.

Tesarik One: "Rumerian, hm? I'm sure you know better than most of the ..

tendency for some to dislike those from Rumeria. I do expect my adventurers

to work together on missions even if they dislike each other. I tend to live

up to the

you win or die: "You are welcome." Returned back in her native tongue.

Returning to common in that thick accent, "River Stone Osslon, at your

service, ma'am." The jar and clothe tucked away, she was moving over to

Akito. "Do you need anything for

Tesarik One: stories of angry red heads when they do not. I'm sure I was

Rumerian once...but I cannot remember." She paused, sipping her whiskey, then

spoke again but this time in Rumeric, "I'm sure we'll like each other just

fine. We'll see how

you win or die: your head? I have powder that will help. Mix with your tea

and the pain will go away." [d]

Tesarik One: you do as an adventurer, and say give a few weeks and then if

you like the job you can stay - if not you move on. Now, my adventurers get

free room and board here, or I can set you up in a cottage outside of town or

a townhouse here

Tesarik One: in town. So you won't want for food, drink and shelter. You can

make a fine living here, of that I'm certain." She smiled over to Dorian as

he introduced himself, then nodded to the lady. "Pleasure to meet you River."

Apparatus Bellum: "Dorian." The man got a polite nod, and he added with a

grin. "Fist like a hammer. Good to know you." Attention turned back to Maria

then, and he shrugged languidly, a hand brushing through the air as if to

disperse her concerns.

x Silver Heat x: Glancing over at the girl he didn't recognize, named River

he pondered the offering. Seeing as there were plenty of witnesses he didn't

think anyone would poison him in such busy company so begrudgingly he nodded.

"I appreciate it..

Apparatus Bellum: "Oll people different, I think, but yes. I meet some

people in the mountains, they tell me they do not like Rumerians. I express

regret, but it does not help. They take my things. Oll except this." He

patted the shield on his back

x Silver Heat x: " He lifted his teacup and moved it into reach with one

hand, the other propped up on the bar counter by the elbow.

Apparatus Bellum: with a clank. "They get plenty else, they pay me only a

few of their teeth for the trouble. But I em breathing, so it is good." He

laughed then, all mirth, and clapped a hand on Maria's shoulder. "I will stay

here, I think. It hes

Apparatus Bellum: been a long road, very tired."(d)

Tesarik One: "Well, I've quite a lot of things that can be borrowed in my

vault here, so you'll just need to plunder it and get what you need. You can

always give it back when you find or purchase your own things." She paused a

moment, glancing

you win or die: The small sack was placed down on the bar counter. "How does

one join up? I would like to offer my healing for your group." Unfolding the

small square of brown paper, she poured into the cup of tea. "Drink and your

head will feel

you win or die: better." [d]

Tesarik One: around, then back to Abram with a wide smile, "Hungry? Sounds

like you've had quite the adventure on your journey here. You'll find my inne

is one of the best in the area, with every comfort available. Even running

hot water!" That

Tesarik One: was something that only the wealthiest of noble homes had! But

Maria spared no expense with the gnome engineers, or the magic casters when

building and outfitting her inne!

psionic wanderer: Well if anyone poisoned Akito, that's why Dorian was

around! Maria handled the curses, Dorian handled poison and disease, ha! He

just listened to all the conversations for now, not saying much, going into a

bit of contemplation over

psionic wanderer: his tea, which was all the more enjoyable since his lip

felt much better.

psionic wanderer: (brb)

Tesarik One: "Healers are always welcome, River. Same as what I just told

Abram here... stay for a couple weeks, see how you like it, and then we can

make more arrangements if necessary. You can take a room here, food and drink

included, or I

Tesarik One: can at some point put you in a small cottage, or a flat here in

the city. Usually over a business in the market district, but there's much to

be gained from that, the market is very lively."

Apparatus Bellum: "I could eat." He conceded, and tried not to look too

childishly excited by the idea of hot water. He followed Maria's attention to

the healer and gifted her the same ready smile, nodding his greeting.(d)

x Silver Heat x: Akito watched the powder pour into and dissolve into his

drink. The asian nodded to the instructions and lifted the teacup to sip at

it once again. "I haven't caused a bar fight in a long time." He pinched the

bridge of his nose

x Silver Heat x: again. "I'm getting too old for this." He complained under

his breath and took another sip so the medicine could do its work.

Tesarik One: "I bet you could. Anyone else want something to eat?" One trip

to the kitchen sounded good to her! "I've got a fine roasted and spiced boar,

mashed potatoes with fresh butter, baby carrots stewed in honey, and Hana

made some

Tesarik One: bread earlier today." She snickered hearing Akito, glancing his

way, "It's been a while since we've had a bar fight here, it was kind of

exciting."

you win or die: "Thank you, Miss Marie." She was multitasking! "It was not

your fault. You were cursed, yes? So it wasn't you. The powder will have you

feeling better soon, sir, unless there is more ailing you?" Feeling eyes on

her, she turned to

psionic wanderer: "You're too old for this?" He rounded on Akito then, and

snorted out a little laugh. "Look at who you punched." Of course he only

looked like he was in his early thirties at the oldest! Looks weren't just

deceiving, they were full-

psionic wanderer: on liars.

x Silver Heat x: Akito chuckled slightly at Maria's enthusiasm. "It probably

would have been more exciting if I'd been in my right mind." A smirk followed

and died quickly into another quick sip. "Yeah, I'm fine. Whatever else is

wrong with me, no

you win or die: smile to Abram. "Greetings." The pouch was shut as she

looked to Marie. "No, but I had enjoyed it ealier. I had taken a room from

last night. I can pay for the night I used the room. I have a little bit of

coins left." [d]

x Silver Heat x: one can help." A sight joke at his own expense was his

response to River.

x Silver Heat x: "A boar meal sounds pretty good.." He nodded at the offer

of something to eat and Akito enjoyed the boar and steak meals the best.

x Silver Heat x: [d]

x Silver Heat x: [ slight* ]

Tesarik One: "No, no need to pay if you are offering your services. So, are

you a full-on non combatant healer or do you fight as well?" Best to know as

much about them as possible. She headed for the kitchen, but waited for her

answer.

you win or die: There was a tiny smirk. "A few more knocks to head to get

all your marble back in order could help." [d]

Apparatus Bellum: Pretty smiles were a fine change from the distrust and

open enmity he'd encountered on the long road. A contented sigh slipped from

his lips, and he nodded at Maria. "Yes, the boar sounds nice." A couple

strides took him to a table,

psionic wanderer: "Oh, are we having food? I think I might like a little

something." He couldn't remember the last time he ate, he was just consuming

all the tea in Sarkotos.

Apparatus Bellum: where he nudged a chair back and there hesitated. It

didn't feel right to sit just yet --- not while introductions still stood to

be made. T'was Rumerian custom! With this in mind he approached Akito, a hand

offered to the stranger

Apparatus Bellum: in greeting. "Rough night?"(d)

Tesarik One: She waited another moment for the healer's answer, but as it

wasn't forthcoming so quickly she decided to duck into the kitchen first.

Hana followed, and between the two of them they fixed several plates of juicy

boar, taters,

Tesarik One: veggies and bread. It smelled delicious, especially as the door

to the kitchen opened and the two ladies came out with the trays and began

putting the plates down around the room in front of everyone. Maria put a

bowl of extra bread

Tesarik One: and freshly churned butter on the bar, and handed out the forks

and knives, and Hana began taking orders for drinks and fixing them.

psionic wanderer: "Mmmm." He looked at the food that was brought out with a

big smile, then looked to the two ladies who'd so graciously served them. He

grinned once again. "I may just have to dip into some of that exotic fruit

for dessert." He

psionic wanderer: winked to Hana, then started digging in, indicating to her

that he wanted a refill on his tea for a drink!

you win or die: She would wait tilll Maria came out of the kitchen. "I

don't....like to fight unless I have too. ...I run more to fighting...."

Shifting on her bare feet, she looked for a stool and slipped into one.

Better. "Give me a sword and

"Maybe so, but I doubt they'd get to keep all their own if they tried." After

all, he might go down but he would go down swinging, right mind or not.

Glancing over to the

x Silver Heat x: rumerian, he nodded in greeting taking the hand briefly to

shake it and then released. "You could say that."

Tesarik One: The island girl grinned and winked to Dorian, getting a refill

for his tea, and kissing his cheek when she brought it back to him. Maria

settled behind the bar, sipping at her expensive whiskey again while

listening to the answer

Tesarik One: from River. "Well then, be sure that your team knows you need

to be protected on your missions, so that they do not expect you to protect

yourself."

you win or die: "Oh...." They would have to protect her and that would be a

distraction. "I'm good at hiding, so that will help hopefully." [d]

Apparatus Bellum: The Rumerian applied a crushing squeeze for the duration

of the shake. "Akito." He recited the name from memory, since it wasn't

offered. His free hand tapped his own chest, and he offered, "Abram. Is good

to know you." For all the

Apparatus Bellum: propriety, he didn't seem to keen on hanging out beyond

the introduction. He parted the man's company then, moving back to the chair

he'd previously pushed out, turning to drop into it. (d)

psionic wanderer: "I believe I already said I'd protect her, at least.

Although I suppose to be specific, that was only to protect her from

dragons." He gave his cheek a scratch with his hook, then went right back to

eating!

Tesarik One: "It's a shame we don't have a bard to play for us tonight." She

was always whining about not having a bard! Poor Maria. She grinned though as

everyone seemed happy with the food she'd provided, and then took a look at

the book

Tesarik One: before her.

OnlineHost: DaemianBerazalle has entered the room.

x Silver Heat x: "Yes. I'm Akito Takano." He elaborated since the man

already seemed to know his first name. He watched Abram move to his own seat

shortly after. If the handshake were to be believed, Akito thought that guy

had confidence off the

psionic wanderer: "I could always try to sing, if you want to drive business

away instead of attract it. One of you pretty ladies could always give us

gentlemen a nice dance, instead." He winked to Maria, then eat eat! He

couldn't eat for long enough

psionic wanderer: stretches to shut himself up, apparently.

x Silver Heat x: charts. The tea had been momentarily abandoned and so he

took it up for another sip before turning his attention to the steaming plate

of food in front of him.

you win or die: River finally turned to Dorian. Shaking a finger at him.

"You didn't do much of a job at that!" The giggle was full of mirth and she

turned to Abram. The island were part of the that kingdom. "Where are in

Rumeria are you from?"

Apparatus Bellum: Abram, meanwhile, had switched off whatever social mode he

had been in, seeming to enjoy some serious quality time with the food and

drink that had been prepared. That he had not seen a good meal in a long time

would be obvious to

you win or die: That nose went to twitching and she reached up to rub it.

The scent of the food was getting to her. [d]

Apparatus Bellum: anyone observing his thinly-veiled ravenous appetite.(d)

psionic wanderer: "Well he was only frightening you, not actually

threatening. And I was on the verge of frightening him right back when he

gave it up." He shrugged then, since that explained it all as far as he was

concerned!

Tesarik One: "The kind of dancing that I do best is not for public venues."

She grinned brightly and winked across to Dorian. "You all have to finish

clearing the crypt you started soon, we need to move quickly and get these

crypts cleared." She

Tesarik One: said off handedly, it was a worry on her mind, all this

business with the omens. "Veronica says she will have a date for the triple

eclipse as early as next week."

psionic wanderer: "On the contrary, I believe a public venue might well make

it all the more interesting." He grinned right back, then stuffed his face

with more food! He nodded a little, he had already intended to continue

clearing crypts soon, on

psionic wanderer: his own if need be. He'd be a bit more in his element were

he on his own in one, at any rate! But it was nicer to have company along to

do the more dangerous bits.

DaemianBerazalle: He'd heard through the whisper chain that some new faces

had turned up at the inne. Dae being who he was, he made it a priority to

introduce himself to them. Stepping quietly from the shadows of the darkest

corner of the inne,

DaemianBerazalle: he'd study both newcomers a moment, taking in a deep

breath to take in their scent, putting them to memory. He gave each a tip of

his hat, his eyes hidden slightly in the shadow the wide brim provided. His

attire was a mix of

DaemianBerazalle: grays and dark blues, the hat being the hue of the latter.

"Greetings, to you both. Welcome to the Heart."

you win or die: River snorted. "That dragon will get his." She knew many

herbs and such that could....make a a night hate. "Weren't you speaking of

the crypt's last night?" A sliding glance to Dorian. "Greetings!" She turned

to the new face with a

you win or die: radiant smile, even half awake. A yawn, she moved her hands

to her hair to tame the strands. "Thank you." [d]

psionic wanderer: "I was speaking of the crypts last night, yes..I think.

More importantly, I was speaking of pretty ladies dancing just a moment ago."

He'd give her a nudge if she was close enough, but if not he'd just grin once

more, and then

psionic wanderer: finished off his food! He had another sip of his tea then

and sat back a little to relax. "Mm, that hit the spot."

Tesarik One: "Dragon? Did something happen with a dragon I am unaware of?"

She wondered if it was something to do wtih Gar, hmm. She sipped her whiskey

again, and nodded to Dae when he stepped free of the shadows. "Hey there

Daemian."

psionic wanderer: Daemian? He blinked and glanced over, then offered a wave

of his hook. "Oh, hello Daemian. Sorry, I missed your arrival. Too busy being

a lecherous old man, I think." He couldn't well have claimed to be one of the

sauciest in all of

psionic wanderer: Arith without trying to live up to that, now could he?

"And no, nothing happened with a dragon, Kythin was just being a jackass, as

usual."

DaemianBerazalle: He'd of course caught the scents of the other occupants,

his eardrums filled with the sounds of their hearts beating. He closed his

eyes a moment, enjoying the lull such things could cause to rise. Feeling

control of himself

DaemianBerazalle: regained, he gave a smile and a wink to River, turning and

removing his hat, letting it fade into the shadows of his cloak. A modest

nod of his head given to both Maria and Dorian, taking in Akito in his smile

and nod as well.

DaemianBerazalle: "And a fond hello to you all as well. How has the day

been?"

Tesarik One: "Oh....Kythin." She shook her head and smirked a little. (brb)

you win or die: "Trying to make my heart stop." The nudge had her blinking

over at Dorian. "Dancing ladies....oh goddess." Blush and shake of her head.

"Interesting so far.." She looked down at the empty spot of the bar before

her. [d]

psionic wanderer: Such a sad look he got when none of the aforementioned

ladies got up to dance for him! Oh well. He let out a little sigh, then

turned his attention to his teacup, muttering. "Dancing goddesses, that would

be a sight." Not that he

psionic wanderer: really believed in such things, but he'd keep his fit of

atheism to himself!

x Silver Heat x: Akito offered a nod back toward the newcomer, Daemian when

he greeted him. A sip of his tea finished it off. "Oh.. interesting to say

the least. Yours?" Apparently the medicine was beginning to take affect, his

head was starting to

x Silver Heat x: throb less.

DaemianBerazalle: Lips splitting in a grin as he made his way to the bar,

placing his order for Hana's choice of one of the finer wines within reach.

He liked to treat each day's selection as if it was prepared especially for

him, whether or not it

DaemianBerazalle: actually had been. "Each day brings a fun challenge, and

a new learning experience. It's part of what makes living worth doing." A

slight chuckle escaping as he heard Akito, in good spirits for the time

being. "Dancing ladies,

DaemianBerazalle: that is quite the interesting topic. Dorian, you are

quite the . . ." Well, he searched for a word that he hoped wouldn't be

insulting. "Scallywag." That should do, remembering the conversation he,

Kin and Dae had shared.

psionic wanderer: "Interesting! Is that what you call assaulting a man just

sitting around having a cup of tea?" He snorted, then looked sidelong at Dae,

eyes narrowing a bit, before he scoffed. "With the level of prudishness you

seemed to expect

you win or die: A finger pointed to Dorian. "Dancing goddess are around. You

just have to find them." Twisting in her stool, she was looking at Daemian

and shook her head. "Not a scallywag! A...a....sheep-biting haggard

strumpet!" She didn't like

you win or die: getting frightened just for another's amusement. [d]

OnlineHost: a runic euphony has entered the room.

psionic wanderer: from me the other night, I'm inclined to believe you

wouldn't know a dancing lady from a flailing goblin in the midst of a

seizure." He grinned once more when River came to his defense, or was it? He

wasn't quite sure what to think

psionic wanderer: about all that.

x Silver Heat x: "Indeed.. today's was.. bring more undo curse potions." He

smirked slightly between Dae and Dorian's comments. "I guess in my cursed

mind you looked like you needed a smack in the face." He shrugged, who knows

what he thought. He

x Silver Heat x: sure didn't.

DaemianBerazalle: "Well, if any of us in the current vicinity would know

about sheep biting, I suppose it would be me. I don't think it was meant in

a complimentary fashion." He put off a response to the first comment with

that response, buying

you win or die: Was he calling Kythin a scallywag or Dorian. So confused. A

look to Dorian over to Daemian. Whispering to Dorian. "He is still a

sheep-biting haggard strumpet." [d]

DaemianBerazalle: time to find a better way to phrase a response, then just

spoke plainly in the end anyway. "Aye, I tend to be a bit overprotective of

those I look upon as family. Those I love. Forgive my hastiness, please."

A bit wordy, but an

DaemianBerazalle: honest apology.

psionic wanderer: Well he sure thought he was the one being called a

scallywag, which wasn't entirely inaccurate, but there was no cause for being

rude! He hmph'd at Dae's apology. "Being protective seems to imply that you

think I'd cause them pain,

psionic wanderer: but that's far from the sensation I specialize in." Wicked

grin was sent Dae's way once more, before he got back to his tea, nodding to

River. "Agreed. Who?"

DaemianBerazalle: Well, he couldn't help but chuckle as his own confusion

caused even more. He'd remain silent for a bit, his beverage arriving and

busied himself with drinking it in a slow enough manner to give himself time

to arrange his thoughts.

you win or die: A hand covered her face and she sighed. "No one." Muttered.

"I do believe that sleep is calling me...." Off the stool she slipped with

another yawn covered with her hand. "Goodnight....few friend and foes." Her

giggle was dreamy as

x Silver Heat x: Akito cut into the meat, and potatoes taking a sample of

each casually as he had no need to hurry with his meal. Though he wondered if

the side affect of that powder was drowsiness, or if the food was just a

little too comforting.

psionic wanderer: "Ah, okay. No one is a sheep-biting haggard strumpet, good

to know." He winked to her, then offered a hook-wave. "Sleep well, River!"

you win or die: she headed to the stairs. Upward she went and to her room.

Having a real bed was a indulgence. She slept on the floor since she was

young. Having her own bed, yup. Loved it. [d]

x Silver Heat x: Either way he savored the meal quietly for the time being,

except to wave to the healer. "Thanks for the headache remedy."

DaemianBerazalle: Well, with there being none to apply it to, he just gave

up trying to puzzle it out. He gave a wave and a smile to River. "Sleep

well, enjoy your time here."

you win or die: (( Night! Playing driver for the Grandma tomorrow. Don't

need to scare her to much. ))

OnlineHost: you win or die has left the room.

psionic wanderer: He scratched his cheek with his hook again and scowled at

the presence of one less female and one more male, that did not make his odds

of seeing any fun dancing go up even the slightest.

x Silver Heat x: The departure of the healer seemed to bring a quiet lull to

the Inne, a far cry from when he entered it. Of course, that wasn't entirely

his fault. Now that his meal was done, he pushed back the plate along with

the cup. "I think

x Silver Heat x: I've had enough excitement for one night. Thanks for curing

the curse, Maria. Sorry again." The apology aimed toward the hooked man,

before a half salute was given and he headed up to bed. [ Gonna go watch

Penny Dreadful and then

x Silver Heat x: bed for me too. -wave- ]

psionic wanderer: "Exciting is a good word for it." He offered a wave of his

hook to Akito, then tongued at the wounded part of his lip, which he could

barely feel any pain in anymore. "No worries, I'll heal up just fine. Sorry

if I rattled your

DaemianBerazalle: He returned his attention to his drink, seeing the

occupants beginning to scatter off. Nothing of any real importance to say,

he remained quiet for the time being, enjoying his drink.

psionic wanderer: brain too much in return." (Night!)

OnlineHost: DaemianBerazalle has left the room.

psionic wanderer: Well that was an abrupt departure on the vampire's part!

Perhaps he'd gone off to dig up more information on these necromancers. He

stretched out a bit with a small yawn, then finished off his cup of tea.

OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has left the room.

Tesarik One: (Y'all stopped rping)

psionic wanderer: (I didn't wanna just RP with myself. :'( )

Tesarik One: (ahh )

psionic wanderer: Dorian was still there though, lamenting his empty teacup!

Although he was fully capable of getting himself a refill, so he did just

that, then moved on to lamenting about the lack of dancers! Maria wanted

bards, he wanted dancers,

psionic wanderer: they should get together and hire some people

psionic wanderer: .

Tesarik One: They really should. And Hana could fetch the tea if he wanted

more! She'd become quite a good tender in her time here at the inne, poor

island girl with the burn between her eyes!

Tesarik One: Maria was still at the bar with her books and whiskey, "You're

quiet suddenly, Dorian."

a runic euphony: They could hire Ophelia, who just happened upon the door

just at that moment. There was, as ever, a spring in her step as she traveled

across the threshold of the inne. " Good evening! " She announced before

heading to the bar, in

a runic euphony: search of a nice cup of tea.

Tesarik One: "Evening, Ophelia." She offered a raise of her glass towards

her as she entered.

a runic euphony: Resting her laurels on a bar stool, she swiveled around to

rest her gaze upon Maria, who received a beaming smile. " How are you both? "



Tesarik One: "Well enough, how about yourself?"

a runic euphony: " I am well. " There wasn't much else to say in regards to

her well-being, nothing exciting had happened to her in the last couple of

days! After ordering her tea from Hana, she waited.. almost patiently.

psionic wanderer: "Suddenly? I've been quiet for decades." He winked to her,

then looked over to Ophelia with a blink. He certainly must have spaced out.

"Chronicler!" He whacked the side of his hook down on the bartop with a

thunk. "Dance for me!"

psionic wanderer: Grin.

psionic wanderer: "Quickly now, before any antagonistic dragon men or

prudish vampires show up." Perhaps being more forceful would work!

Tesarik One: "You have most certainly not been quiet for decades." She

grinned and rose upwards, moving around the bar and towards Dorian. Arms

wrapped around his waist, and if he was sitting down, she plopped onto his

lap. If not, she cuddled

Tesarik One: beside him.

a runic euphony: " If you pay me, I'll dance! " She couldn't imagine that it

would be hard for anyone to find someone to dance! She loved dancing! Though,

it wasn't exactly in her repertoire.

psionic wanderer: "Well, you've only seen me recently, it'd been what...two

hundred fifty years since the last time?" He slipped his arms around her as

well, and he was sitting! So into his lap she went for some cuddling. He eyed

Phe all lewdly then.

psionic wanderer: "I'll pay, but I'll only pay well if clothes come off."

a runic euphony: Phe scoffed. " What kind of entertainer do you think I am,

exactly? " Had he actually managed to offend her? It looked like it. Instead

of dancing, she was folding her arms over her chest and there was a scowl to

end all scowls. It

a runic euphony: was a matter of artistic principle now!

psionic wanderer: "A nymph." Or so he'd heard! What was that about her being

able to teach him a thing or two? A likely story.

a runic euphony: " Only half. If you want that sort of dancing, ask Kissie!

" She was quite sure that she'd be willing to dance her clothes off for

anyone who asked.

Tesarik One: "I'll pay you double if your clothes come off." She waggled her

brows at Phe, and cuddled on Dorian's lap with her arms around her neck. "Bet

that new healer's clothes would come off for you Dorian. I saw her blushing

just

Tesarik One: being close to you. How adorable." Yeah, not really.

psionic wanderer: "I'd be happy too, if that aforementioned prudish vampire

didn't have his talons in her like he's got a creepier relationship with her

than I think." He looked to Maria then and snickered at that, then gave her a

kiss on the cheek.

Tesarik One: his neck*

psionic wanderer: "I bet they would, and what can I say? My rugged good

looks must just be that entrancing. Or there's nobody worth looking at on the

Skegg Islands."

Tesarik One: "Skeggans are pretty rough, but I've seen a few good looking

ones. As long as they aren't goat fuckers, I can get by with a Skeggan man."

She grinned.

Tesarik One: "Or maybe a Rumerian..." She eyed the very quiet Abram.

a runic euphony: " I don't think there is enough gold on Arith to pay off

the anger I would face from Kythin." She had, had the scowl already for

flirting around Dorian! " Besides, when I dance, I don't need to take my

clothes off for it to be a

a runic euphony: pleaesure and now.. you don't deserve to see. " She pointed

at Dorian, just as her tea was arriving.. and that took her attention for the

time being!

Tesarik One: "Kythin doesn't seem to be the type of fellow that would

appreciate nude dancing anyway." She snickered, and squeezed Dorian tightly,

then whispered something into his ear. But soon she spoke to

Tesarik One: Phe again, "How about a song then?"

psionic wanderer: "Pfft. You're assuming that any of us here would tell that

trumped up jackass you did it." He eyed Abram, who was indeed so quiet Dorian

had forgot he was even there. He snorted, then listened at the whispering.

psionic wanderer: He grinned, then whispered something back, before looking

at Phe again. "You're assuming I can't simply see through your clothes, now

aren't you?"

Tesarik One: "Dorian!" She smacked him lightly on the arm. "Now that borders

on creepy."

psionic wanderer: "No creepier than what you asked, nay, demanded I do last

night."

a runic euphony: " Well, a song I can do, what sort of song would you like?

" Ophelia didn't go anywhere without her flute, which was taken from its

pride of place on her belt. It was Dorian's words that forced her to stop,

and narrow an eye at

a runic euphony: him. " Well, if you can, then.. I hope you enjoy? " Phe

lifted her shoulders in a shrug, then bounced off the bar stool to clamber up

onto a table top. There she sat and waited for song choices!

Tesarik One: She grew quiet at that, and just grinned. But soon gave a nod,

"Yeah, you're probably right." As for a song, she shrugged. "Something

bouncy." Grin.

psionic wanderer: "Mm, bouncy, yes." Said with a leer right at Phe's chest.

He couldn't actually see through her clothes. Well..he probably could if he

really set his mind to it, but he wasn't going to any more than he'd mind

control someone who

psionic wanderer: didn't have it coming!

Tesarik One: She bit Dorian's earlobe and chewed on it for a moment, maybe a

little too hard, and then snickered. "Dorian you are extra wound up tonight

aren't you?"

psionic wanderer: He let out a 'mm' and wiggled a bit at that bite, though

there was maybe a wince there since it was a little too hard! He picked up

his teacup and had another sip, thinking on that. "I don't know if I'd say

extra compared to some

psionic wanderer: nights, but perhaps a tiny bit more than average."

a runic euphony: It was hard to play bouncy on her flute, it being such a

mellow sounding instrument but Ophelia was nothing but determined. After the

request had been made, she went silent for a moment before she nodded to

herself. The song was

a runic euphony: akin to something one would hear at a circus, or perhaps

around the camp fire of a troupe of gypsy's. It was energetic and it begged

for dancing to accompany it, which was why as soon as Ophelia started to play

three

a runic euphony: illusionary dancers appeared behind her, doing the best

rendition of a jig.. three people that didn't really exist could muster! The

rub of Ophelia's music was that no matter what she played, it would always

have an effect on her

a runic euphony: audience. So while she was playing, they would feel the

excitement of the music and would, in measure, act accordingly. Maybe even

dance themselves!

psionic wanderer: He grinned to Maria and gave her a little smooch on the

lips, then watched Ophelia playing and the pantoms dancing. He would feel

excitement of course, but dancing? Oh no.

Tesarik One: She grinned, and was about to give a kiss to Dorian's head when

he caught her on the lips for that smooch. "Mm." Dancing, now that was

something Maria enjoyed! She slid off his lap and headed over to the three

illusions and began to

Tesarik One: dance a jig as well! She'd danced quite a bit during her years

as an elf, but she wouldn't call elven dancing a jig... but she danced as

best as she could!

psionic wanderer: He'd probably danced a good bit himself in one life or

another, but he certainly hadn't retained any of the gracefulness that he may

have had back then! He'd very likely just trip over his own feet, fall on his

hook and be whisked

psionic wanderer: away into a new body! So he contented himself with

watching. Couldn't even clap along! He'd tap his foot though.

a runic euphony: In true jig type music fashion, the song slowed a little

giving the dancers time to catch their breath. It didn't last long before the

tempo had increased once more, pushing towards the boundaries of too fast at

one point. Ophelia

a runic euphony: couldn't clap either, but her feet her tapping in time with

the music, especially when Maria joined her dancers! She loved her little

choir, it made her shows much more appealing and her stories, much more

interactive! As with all

a runic euphony: good things, her song eventually had to come to an end, but

before she reached the coda of the melody, Ophelia decided to ad-lib a

crossing between the bridge and the climax, which became a dramatic mixture

of fast and light. It

a runic euphony: ended with a high, and then a bow from her chorus!

Tesarik One: Maria had learned a little bit of dancing when she lived in

Shalott, they loved their jigs there! So, she was just trying to remember the

steps to some of the reels they danced then. Goodness that had been well

over 300 years ago,

Tesarik One: 3 lives before her elven one! She was reminiscing as much as

one could for a daeva as she danced, but the more she danced the better she

got at it as if her memory was returning to her. She did a bit more fancy

footwork,

Tesarik One: hair bouncing (among other things much to Dorian's delight no

doubt), and a big smile on her face. When the dance came to an end, she was

breathing a little harder than normal and gave a little curtsy. "That was

fun!"

a runic euphony: Phe grinned lightly and once her flute was in her lap, gave

a large clap to Maria for her addition to the entertainment. " That was great

fun to watch! " She rest her hands over her instrument afterwards, and said:

" See, you got

a runic euphony: your dance after all!"

Tesarik One: "Aye, we did," her speech for the moment sounded more like Maka

than Maria, for she'd slipped to Shalottan for the moment since she was in

that frame of mind! But it passed quickly, and she headed over to Dorian and

wrapped her arms

psionic wanderer: Hurray bouncing! He was indeed delighted by all that

bouncing, and of course his eyes were all sorts of locked on Maria. WHen it

was finished he let out an appreciative whistle and a few good foot stomps by

way of applause. He

Tesarik One: around his neck from behind, and nuzzled the back of his head.

"Did you like it?"

a runic euphony: ( brb a moment )

psionic wanderer: snickered at Phe's comment. "Not quite the sort of dancing

I had been thinking of, but fun to watch just the same." He smiled at the

hugging and nuzzling, and reached his hand back to brush through her hair a

little. "Mmhm, I did

psionic wanderer: like it, very much. Looked like you had fun as well."

Tesarik One: "If you're a good boy, you might still get the dancing you

want, later." She whispered against the back of his ear, and then kissed the

back of his head and moved to a seat beside him, so she could reach for her

Tesarik One: glass of whiskey. A sip was taken.

psionic wanderer: "Well that makes me fear that my dreams will be squashed,

as I have no idea how to be a good boy." He chuckled, then gave her another

kiss on the cheek after she sat down again, picking up his tea and finishing

it off. That was

psionic wanderer: probably enough for now, right? Well..maybe not. He waved

Hana over for a refill.

Tesarik One: She grinned and gave him a wink, and a little shake of her

head. Hana hurried over with the tea kettle, and poured him another cup full.

psionic wanderer: (brb!)

a runic euphony: " It's probably time for me to go home. " Ophelia grinned a

little before jumping off the table top, and with a little bow, she said: " I

hope you enjoyed my song! "

Tesarik One: "We certainly did, thank you Ophelia." She slid some coins down

her way as a tip!

a runic euphony: [ Skill: Performer ]

OnlineHost: a runic euphony rolled 6 50-sided dice: 31 5 12 5 24 7

a runic euphony: [ 84gps ]

a runic euphony: " Thank you! " Tips were always greatly appreciated, so

once they were pocketed, she gave another little bow.. and a wave, before

heading home! [ Night guys! ]

Tesarik One: (night!)

OnlineHost: a runic euphony has left the room.

Tesarik One: Soon enough, Maria would head upstairs to her apartments as

well! Dorian could come with her if he wanted!

Tesarik One: (Gonna try to rest a little more)
