Welcome to the Dancing Fox Inn! Come and try our one of a kind beverages and food, chat with friends, or grab a private room and relax. All are welcome to the Dancing Fox Inn.

We would like to ask, please, no smoking in the establishment. Thank you for understanding.. Be sure to enjoy your stay.

Map:
There is no map. The Inn has as much space as is needed, as many tables as is needed, as many rooms as needed (Upstairs), as many corners as needed, and so on.
There is, however, a description:

Description:

The inn is . . . indescribable. Size wise, anyway. It has as many tables as needed, and as many chairs as needed. So that needn't be said as well.
However, the floors have been . . . completely changed.
They were rough hewn logs. They are now laminated hardwood. All of the broken, dirty glasses and silverware have been removed, and replaced with better, more functional (And clean) ones. The kitchen is, by far, the best room in the inn. Sparklingly clean, the best equipment out there, and so on. The entire inn has been renovated. It is now made of better wood, and is much cleaner. It's not the prettiest building in the town, but it's functional. Which is what counts.
Also, any damage done to the inn will fix itself by the next day. So don't worry.
There is, downstairs, a bag. A small bag, but it . . . is bottomless. It is where the food comes from. Grade A food, and limitless supply. So there's no chance of running out of food. Same for the drinks. But, you know, a barrel, not a bag.

Disclaimer: The only thing changing about the inn is the size. So it will allow anyone in. And will supply as many corners as needed. Nothing else is changing. And it never does change. It just . . . you watch it, it . . seems to stay the same, but you know it changes, but . . . it doesn't, but . . .. (Think about it, and your head will explode)
Current Staff:
Nerick- Barkeep and Manager
???- Barboy
Gabriella - Barmaid
Julie - Waiter
Jessica - Cook
??? - Bard
(If the person with the job, such as the barboy, if that person does not come around for a month (Or so), they lose the job. Not to be mean, but to clear up the space, so that someone else who might want it can have it.)
NOW HIRING: A Waiter / Waitresses, and a janitor.
If you're none of these but think you can help ask about a job, ask Nerick, IC.
((Also if you have a Banner idea, please, PM it to... dunno, Quinsar or Celtois.))

[Chas the mage]

query: Are you are looking for an emotional response?

[Shades of Gray]

Yes. Yes I am. Umrella-Chan says, looking slightly annoyed.

[Chas the mage]

are you entirly sure?
still monotone.

[Shades of Gray]

100% She says, poking him again.

[Beans]

I think Liache comes in behind Solomon... unless Solomon doesn't come in and stuff.

[Chas the mage]

so you reallly want an emotional response?

[Shades of Gray]

Yes. Ticked off Umbrella-Chan glares.

[Chas the mage]

Chas stands up, and walks out the door, still emotionless.
Shortly after, there is sound from the rooftop.

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan waits for him to return, opening her umbrella and holding it over her head.

[Chas the mage]

Chas swings in through the window, lands near the umbrella girl. As he touches the ground, he withdraws his Rapier, and says
Unhand that umbrella, vile fiend!

[Shades of Gray]

That is sufficient. But I'm not a fiend. She says, smiling slightly. She then closes her umbrella and will attempt to bonk him lightly on the head with the hooked side.

[Chas the mage]

chas smirks and sheathes his rapier

[Shades of Gray]

Where did you get the rope anyway? Umbrella-Chan asks, tilting her head ever so slightly.

[Chas the mage]

uuuuhhhm... nowhere...

[Shades of Gray]

Right. Umbrella-Chan says, opening her umbrella, placing it on the ground handle-first. She drops a juice box she was drinking into it, and then closes the umbrella. What else can you pull from nowhere?

[Chas the mage]

...stuff...
he says, sipping his vodka.

[Shades of Gray]

How descriptive. She says, putting the umbrella over her shoulder. I suppose you can also pull out "things" and "junk" as well?

[Chas the mage]

Don't forget the 'hooha', the 'clutter', and last but not least 'whatnot'

[Shades of Gray]

How could I forget. She opens the umbrella, no juice box comes out like it should.

So how long have you been here for?

[Chas the mage]

Scince last fall.

((deadtime))

[Je dit Viola]

Devona of my characters is wearing white leather armor (what is it with me and leather armor?) and is talking to a devil. And the devil's talking back.
What's this do, again? she says, holding an amulet.
It will let me communicate with you. And empower you, if needed. says the dude with evil eyes.
She sighs, and looks down. Then she mumbles something.

((Whoo! New Thread!))

[Beans]

Uh... Myx and Seiner are here, I guess.

[Shades of Gray]

As is Umbrella-Chan. The fourteen year old that looks adorable and ten.

[Beans]

Seiner looks at her and smiles.
Hiya!
Myx is off in the ladies' room.

[Shades of Gray]

Greetings and salutations. She says, looking sort of bored.

[Je dit Viola]

The devil dude walks over to the bar and orders a Burning Brandy.

Devona stares at her amulet and walks around the room, not paying attention.
*sigh* I hate being ninja-letted.

[Beans]

You're really cute, you know that?
WHAT IS PROPHET NINE

[Shades of Gray]

I am aware that the majority of people believe that, why? She tilts her head slightly.

((Speaking of Nine, that looks like an awesome movie))

[Beans]

Uh... I dunno.
I just wanted to say you were cute. She shrugs.
WHAT IS PROPHET NINE WHO IS THE DIRECTORATE
((Yes it does. Why did you bring Nine up again?))

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan nods. You look presentable as well. For Umbrella-Chan, that's a huge compliment.

[Je dit Viola]

Devona bumps into somebody and looks up, really flustered. Oh, I'm so sorry. then she starts fiddling with the amulet again and starts walking around the room, not paying attention. That means that she can bump into other people.

[Beans]

She may bump into little Amyxia (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6047981&postcount=146), who is exiting the ladies' room.
PROPHET NINE PROPHET NINE PROPHET NINE PROPHET NINE
WHO IS THE DIRECTORATE WHAT IS PROPHET NINE WHAT IS THEIR PLAN
Seiner smiles uncertainly at Umbrella-Chan.
Er... Thanks.

[Je dit Viola]

Yeah...she bumps into Amyxia. Oh, I'm so sorry! I guess I wasn't paying attention. She lets go of her amulet. It falls to the ground. Are you alright?

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan goes to a shelf to get a juice box. She can't reach it though.

Clearly this is the greatest conflict that ever was.

[Beans]

Myx picks herself up.
I'm alright, miss. She wipes her nose on her sleeve, then picks up the amulet (unless she can't or something) and holds it up for Devona.
You dropped this.
WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING WHO ARE THEY
Seiner goes over and gets le box du juice for her.
There you go.

[Je dit Viola]

Of course she can...it's just an amulet. With a ruby in it. Oh, thanks. Devona grabs it. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost it.

The devil disappears in a cloud of fire.

[Shades of Gray]

Tha- This is sufficient.

Umbrella-Chan takes it and sips it, making sure not to touch Seiner's hand as she takes it.

[Beans]

You're welcome. Seiner hides a smile behind her hand.

You're welcome, miss. Myx smiles.
((Yes, I know the two sisters have just said almost exactly the same thing.))

[Shades of Gray]

((AMYXIA SAID MISS THEY ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT))

*sluuuuurp* Umbrella-Chan opens her rather small umbrella over her head as she drinks.

[Je dit Viola]

So.... she plays with the amulet for a bit longer. do you have any string or something? So I can tie this somewhere and not drop it? Because that would be really useful.

[Beans]

Myx draws, from her pocket, a thin-type leather string-dealio.
This's been in my pocket ever since I visited my auntie in hell. I think this came off the whip she told me to use on people. Don't worry, I didn't hit anyone with it.
She offers the string.

Why do you carry around an umbrella?

[Shades of Gray]

To keep my skin safe from the sun. It should be noted that she has black hair, pale skin, and red eyes.

[Je dit Viola]

Devona receives the string. Really? Thanks. It has a lot of backstory. she says as she ties her amulet to the leather string.
Then she puts it around her neck. It looks great.

[Beans]

It's really pretty.

Makes sense. Seiner shrugs.

[Je dit Viola]

So...you said you have an aunt in hell. How does that work? Is she, like, dead or something? Or something else? she asks.

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan nods, and places the open umbrella on the ground. She throws the empty juice box into the open umbrella, then closes it, putting the umbrella over her shoulder.

[Recaiden]

Riki strolls in from the streets, now with the addition of a small box being carried and a ring being worn.
She waves to Seiner.

EDIT: Deadtime.:smallsigh:

[Beans]

No, she's a devil.
'Cause my mommy's an archdevil. Myx has little to indicate being part-fiend; a pair of blunt little horns and that's it.

Seiner raises an eyebrow.
So umbrellas are also trashcans?
She waves to Riki as she enters.

((I'm going to stop caring at all about the Musical Plot by tomorrow. I have other things to worry about, especially with Vocusta.))

[Je dit Viola]

Oh, an archdevil. That...actually doesn't sound too much different from a normal one. How's it different? she says, trying to find out information about devils so she can break away from the devil holding her captive.

[Shades of Gray]

Yes. Yes they are. Umbrella-Chan says, putting the umbrella over her shoulder.

[Beans]

Archdevils are... devil leaders, I think. There's only nine of them, and my mommy's one of them.

... Considering all the crazy crap going on daily here, I'm not that surprised anymore.

[Je dit Viola]

Wow, that's cool. She thinks for a moment. And what's the relationship between devils and demons?

[accuracy17(fav#]

Sage walks in.

[Beans]

Uh... I think devils are all organized and lawful, and demons are all crazy and stuff, and they're always fighting because... they've always been fighting.
And then I think there's also daemons, and they just fight for whoever pays them. I think there's a daemon lady here, she looks like a secretary and she works for a sorcerer guy.
((She's been reading Wikipedia.))

And because just thinking about the musical plot makes me want to cough up blood, Vocusta walks in, looking about for Neil.

[Je dit Viola]

Hmm...wow. That's really useful. Thanks. she says, pocketing that information for later.

(((She deadtimes. And I didn't even get to introduce my new character)))

[accuracy17(fav#]

Sage goes to the bar and orders a drink.

[Shades of Gray]

Neil is not here. Vocusta hasn't seen him recently.

[Beans]

Vocusta sits down and sighs.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Silva undeadtimes at the bar. She orders a drink and looks around a little.

[accuracy17(fav#]

Sage gets his drink, he turns to Silva Hi, I'm Sage

[KerfuffleMach2]

Hi, she has a look of slight disinterest, I'm Silva.

[accuracy17(fav#]

Are you new to town?

[KerfuffleMach2]

She shakes her head. Nope. You?

[accuracy17(fav#]

No, been here a couple months.

[Beans]

Vocusta seems to be saying something under her breath, head down.

[KerfuffleMach2]

That works. She sips her drink.

[accuracy17(fav#]

Yeah, well nice meeting you he goes back to his drink.

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan stands next to Vocusta, silent. Sorta watching her.

[Beans]

I wish I could sleep
But I can't lay on my back
Because there's a knife
For every day that I've been me

When you want it
It goes away too fast
When you hate it
It always seems to last
But just remember
When you think you're free
This broken, beatless heart's inside of me

I wanna be alive to feel the pain for another day...
She's singing under her breath, sadly. D'aww.

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan tilts her head. Interesting song.

[Beans]

((Even if Thryza's hit musical number "Save You From Myself" is fated never to hit the forums, at least Vocusta's "Alive to Feel the Pain" can get a little screentime.))
She looks up at her, eyes leaking black oil.
I know.

[accuracy17(fav#]

sage deadtimes

[Shades of Gray]

Umbrella-Chan hands her a black lace tissue, with the image of an umbrella embroidered.

[Beans]

She wipes her eyes.
((OUTTA THE POOL, TRENT REZNOR AND BILLY CORGAN!))
Thanks.

[Shades of Gray]

Don't mention it.

...

One dollar.

[Beans]

She almost smiles; as she takes out her wallet, something flashes in it. The design on the card looks sorta like a P and a 9 together in a roundish shape. But it is gone as quickly as it was visible; Vocusta puts away the wallet and hands Umbrella-chan her dollarette.

[Shades of Gray]

This is sufficient. She says, taking a seat next to Vocusta, umbrella raised over both of them.

[Beans]

Eye-wipey.
Enjoy having a pulse. Trust me, you do not know what you have until it's gone.

[Shades of Gray]

I'm sure that's true. But if you ever become a human again you'll find something you miss about being undead.

[Beans]

After having been able to briefly revisit humanity and life and stuff, no I won't.

[Shades of Gray]

Huh. Guess not. Umbrella poke. See, you don't feel anything. That's a plus.

[Beans]

Correction: I do not feel pain.
If you stuck a knife in me, I'd feel the cold steel sliding through my flesh, parting strands of muscle and veins, derpy derpy doo, but no pain.
And I'd be more than willing to give up the undead benefits for my life back.

[Shades of Gray]

Very well then, I was incorrect. She takes the Umrella back with an unsatisfying squelch noise. Well... You must be more fun at parties?

[Beans]

Nah.
I think not, at least.
Can't remember the last party I went to.

[Shades of Gray]

Then it must have been a REALLY good party. Umbrella-Chan says, putting emphasis on a word for the first time in... ever.

[Beans]

Aha.
See, no.
'Cause, y'know. Undead. Booze, drugs, nope, no effect.
I know I got sloshed at a party when I was 15 with Neil. That was fun, pissing off both my and his aristocratic parents.
And I went to parties in college, back when I was with Chris.
But that was when I had a heartbeat.

[Shades of Gray]

Ah, right. There's no necromantic equivalent of alcohol?

[Beans]

No. And believe me, babe, I have tried everything. Even ethanol.
Same with drugs. Oh, god, have I tried with those too.

[Shades of Gray]

You don't -need- either of those anyway. In fact, you're better off without them.

[Beans]

True.
Didn't stop me from trying.
Gah, where's Neil when I need him?

[Shades of Gray]

What difference would Neil make?

[Beans]

He's easily huggable, and somehow makes me feel a little better about my undeath.
Wait, you don't even know who he is, do you?

[Shades of Gray]

Not at all.

And please don't try to hug me.

[Beans]

Trust me, you're safe in that department. I'm undead, I'm lonely, I'm pathetic in my own way, but I'm not a pedophile.

[Shades of Gray]

Plus you'd ruin any chances I had at marriage.

[Beans]

Being hugged by an undead woman would ruin---know what? No. No, I most certainly do not want to know.

[Shades of Gray]

Being hugged by anyone, for that matter. Living, dead, old, young, man, woman.

[Beans]

Yeesh. Even when I was still in the Arranged Marriage O-Rama, I never got tied down that tight.
Kinda explains why Neil and I were able to get boozed to bother our families.

[Shades of Gray]

No alcohol for me. I don't really see what I'm missing. And I can't piss off my parents, it just makes it worse for me.

[Beans]

Eh, if you're not trying to, shall we say, wiggle on the collective chips of your and your future hubby's parents, then you're really better off not bothering. She shrugs.

[Shades of Gray]

Very well then, you seem to have more experience with relationships than I do, so I'll take your word for it.

[Beans]

...
Yeah.
Neil had a pet ferret. That thing was awesome, even when it nearly bit off my toe and essentially gave me a pierced nose.

[Shades of Gray]

... You really can't stop talking about him.

[Beans]

Indeed I can't.
Problems. I have them.
Should I talk about Chris, or maybe about making people dead?

[Shades of Gray]

Why don't you just go and look for him? I'm sure he'd do the same thing. Heh. Understatement.

[Beans]

Oh, he would. He already has.
Dude looked for me for ten friggin' years after I left home.

[Chas the mage]

Chas.
Chas be here.
Grey Berets.
They be here too.

[Durp]

Jack walks in, dancing. He's using his spear like a cane.

[Chas the mage]

Chas smirks at him.
The grey berets think hes a spaz.

[Quinsar]

Von Vetz is here.

[Durp]

(( DAMNIT! I can't remember what the quote on the inn is from, and it's killing me! I think it was in the UN, BUT I DON'T KNOW! GRAGGURAGHURROR! ))
His tattoos writhe as he does a few flips, then does a spilt and falls flat on his face. The tanned teenager swears and scratches one of his tattoos. It forms around his hand.

[Chas the mage]

you okay, kid?
Chas asks.

[Durp]

Yes. This happens a lot.
He gets up and walks over.
I'm Jack Klatha, 1st Chosen of Ientak. Who're you?
(( I love saying his title. It's got such a good ring to it. ))

[Chas the mage]

I'm... Chas... Don't got no last name.... My parents where killed before they could tell me...
He sounds almost... sad.

[Durp]

Neat. Mine sent me off to get these tattoos, bring peace to my world, and kill a whole bunch of people. I was rather distressed.

Bite size walks up to Von Vetz and raises an eyebrow.
What the hell?

[Chas the mage]

I used to be a little bard, then a little pettytheif after my parents got killed. I eventually moved from the place whre I lived as a child, became a fencer and an actor.... But then I got enough fame the guy that killed my parents found out I was alive and he tried to kill me so I ended up fleeing here.

[Durp]

I got sent here by an ancient artifact exploding. It hurt. My world is constantly at war, the eight nations tearing eachother apart since the beginning of time. Not fun.

[Chas the mage]

Ever scince the guy that kiled my parents got his hands on nukes and began mutating tribes my continent has been at war...


One of the grey berets butts in.
Are you kidding? sounds like great fun!
He has a Britannian accent. and hes serious.

((If you deadtime I'm gonna have to kick your- dammit. he did.))

[Lerky]

Renn yet again walks downstairs
(( sorry if I deadtime randomly, I'm at the airport and only paid for an hour ))

[Mee]

Poof, Kwen is here.

She's still off in a reciner, and still bandaged.

[Beans]

((Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty, I know now that I'm forever diiiiiiiirrrrrt.))
How're you feeling? Seiner undeadtimes near Kwen.

[Mee]

It still throbs at times, but it's better.
Thanks. :smallsmile:

[Beans]

No problem.
Have you seen a little girl with a black umbrella around lately?
I saw her last night. She's pretty, but... kinda monotone.

[Mee]

Um . . . no. I haven't.
Sorry.

Why does she have an umbrella? It rarely rains.

[Beans]

Ah, it's okay.
And... I guess she just likes having an umbrella.
I saw her open it, put in an empty juice box, and then the juice box was, like, gone.

[Mee]

Ah, it's okay.
And... I guess she just likes having an umbrella.
I saw her open it, put in an empty juice box, and then the juice box was, like, gone.

Huh. I see.
Cool.
She pops her wrists.

[Beans]

I wonder if my mom could make an umbrella do that...

[Mee]

I wonder if my mom could make an umbrella do that...

Maybe.
It may be cool.

[Beans]

Heh, yeah. Waste disposal made easy.

[Mee]

Heh, yeah. Waste disposal made easy.

She nods.
Yeah, it would be.

Would it be possible to get me something to drink?

[Shades of Gray]

A newspaper rolls into the DFI. The headline reads:

8 Missing persons reported this week

It goes on to say that there's no pattern, they're taken from all over town and of all ages.

((All of these are NPCs))

[Beans]

Sure, what would you like?
She sees le paper.
Yeesh...

[Mee]

Sure, what would you like?
She sees le paper.
Yeesh...

Melon juice, please.


And in walks Rachel.

[Recaiden]

Riki walks in, presumably with Rachel before or after, and tries to pick up the paper.

[Beans]

Seiner orders a melon juice, and brings the drinky over to Kwen.

[Mee]

Seiner orders a melon juice, and brings the drinky over to Kwen.

Thank you.
She drains it quickly, her eyes visibly brightening. (Litterally.)

And Rachel walks over to the bar.

[Recaiden]

She scans the paper and then sets it on a table. Hello Seiner. What happened to you, Kwen?

[Mee]

She scans the paper and then sets it on a table. Hello Seiner. What happened to you, Kwen?

Random guy came in, decided I was a demon, and broke a rib.
She says, somewhat sadly.

[Beans]

She scans the paper and then sets it on a table. Hello Seiner. What happened to you, Kwen?
Hey, Riki.

[Recaiden]

Riki sighs heavily and mutters under her breath a bit. I'm sorry. Is there anything we can do?
((short deadtime))

[Mee]

Riki sighs heavily and mutters under her breath a bit. I'm sorry. Is there anything we can do?
((short deadtime))

Find a cleric, that isn't Lupy.
She shrugs, slightly. Then winces.

Then has to deadtime.
Sorry.

[accuracy17(fav#]

En undeadtimes.
Edit: Deadtime

[Shades of Gray]

Neil walks in, after being gone for days. He's pale, and looks tired. And cold. He steps on the newspaper, picking it up and sitting at a table to read it.

[Beans]

Plot-clone (probably) Vocusta cometh along. The deadgirl cometh!
Neil...
She comes over to him with much haste.

[Lupy]

Knelious enters the inn, looking to be in a fairly good mood.

[Shades of Gray]

Neil drops the newspaper. Vo!

[Lupy]

Excuse me? says Knelious politely as possible.

[Beans]

She rushes to Neil.
I missed you.
Needy undead wretch.

It would seem that the couple is having a coupular... that's not a word... moment.

[Lupy]

Knelious takes a seat and orders dinner, he thinks he gets it now.

[Shades of Gray]

I did too, every day is like a year without you. Seems he reverted to corny in her absence. He gives Vo a big ol' hug.

[Lupy]

He smiles a bit with his back to them and quietly starts eating his dinner.

[Recaiden]

Riki sighs again. Does everyone else here have something against Lupy?
She notices Knelious, and jumps back. Aah! Oh, right. Sorry about that.

[Lupy]

He is... Overbearing. And Proud. But he is a good man, I feel that most people overlook the good things he does.

[Beans]

Huggle!
She feels cold and looks pale too, but that's to be expected.
Neil... I need your help.
Ding ding! Remember that note, Neil?

[Shades of Gray]

Neil probably does, but Shades doesn't.

[Beans]

That is, the note in which she mentioned that she needed his support in fighting her growing addiction to the brief experiencing of life that those little time-travel jaunts grants her.

Vocusta is still huggling.

[Recaiden]

She's surprised to be answered. Yes, I think that's probably it. It's too bad. Perhaps it's because he does so much good, that people are more critical of the flaws.

[Shades of Gray]

Oh that note, he remembers it. OH BOY DOES HE REMEMBER IT.

Anything for you, my love.

[Lupy]

He is also... What is the word? Um... Patronizing? Is that it?

[Mee]

He is... Overbearing. And Proud. But he is a good man, I feel that most people overlook the good things he does.

Well, so far, Kwen doesn't know anything about him, other than she's sure he wants something.

Anyway, Luminar comes in.

Kwen stays asleep.

[Recaiden]

Excuse me for a moment. I'm being terribly forgetful today.
Riki walks over to Kwen and tries to cast a healing on her.

[Beans]

Y-you got the note, then?

[Shades of Gray]

Neil nods, holding her tight.

[Mee]

Excuse me for a moment. I'm being terribly forgetful today.
Riki walks over to Kwen and tries to cast a healing on her.

Finally, someone after the apointed time had passed. :smalltongue:
It's healed.

Though she stays asleep. In fact, she falls into a deeper sleep, now that breathing doesn't hurt.



Luminar heads over to the bar.

[Beans]

It's worse than every drug you could think of... it makes me wish I could die, die and be done with it all...
I feel a little better, now that you're with me. She tries to smile.
All three judges would give her:
1/10
1/10
:smallfrown:/:smalleek:

[Lupy]

Knelious finishes his dinner and looks around.

[stopwatch]

A plot clone Nitsuj comes in. He sits at a table.

[Shades of Gray]

There has to be a way to get you back. Neil says, sounding determined.

[Mee]

Luminar heads over to the plot-clone of Nitsuj.
"Have you seen anyone by the name of K lately?
Or En?"

[Beans]

Neil, babe... it doesn't work that way.
I'm just gonna have to accept it. She shakes her head.

[Recaiden]

Riki steps to the bar and asks for a glass of milk.

[Lupy]

Knelious begins to read the newspaper.

((Deadtime.))

[Shades of Gray]

Vo... I'm going to make a way to get you back. I promise. He says, sounding less determined and more desperate.

[stopwatch]

Well, nice to meet you too.:smallamused: Nitsuj says sarcastically to Luminar. Nope, I've never heard of them.

[Mee]

Well, nice to meet you too.:smallamused: Nitsuj says sarcastically to Luminar. Nope, I've never heard of them.

"C[star star star]"
He mutters.
"Ah well, thanks for your time."
He blinks a few times, and starts to walk away.

Now, the reason I mention the blinking, is because of his eyelids. He has two pairs. A normal pair, and another pair underneath, which goes side to side, and is almost translucent, but it's obvious that there is something there.

[Beans]

Vo... I'm going to make a way to get you back. I promise. He says, sounding less determined and more desperate.
N-Neil, I...
She sighs.
Alright.
If you're going to try, I'm going to help.

[stopwatch]

((What, is he like one of those bugs from MIB?))
Nitsuj first reacts by sitting in shock. After a few seconds he shakes his head and snaps out of it. He orders a root beer.

[Mee]

((What, is he like one of those bugs from MIB?))
Nitsuj first reacts by sitting in shock. After a few seconds he shakes his head and snaps out of it. He orders a root beer.

((I haven't seen MIB for a while, so maybe. But more like a dog's.))
He walks off, and starts asking that question of random NPCs.

And any PC that is paying attention, and wants to answer.

[Shades of Gray]

Have you already tried asking the archdevil?

[Beans]

Not Abigale, but I tried an archdevil once. It didn't work, and a bunch of people got their souls contracted for nothing.

[Shades of Gray]

Mmmm... Re-death then ressurection?

[Beans]

Didn't expect you to get that one. You're clever.
Unfortunately, so am I. Tried it, and Knox-be-damned, I came back just as undead as before.
Look, I think I should just, with your help, learn to accept it and move on.

[Recaiden]

K is gone? En I don't know, but K was here just a while/few days ago.

[Shades of Gray]

Alright, but I will do everything in my power to make you normal again. Neil says, regaining his determination.

[Mee]

K is gone? En I don't know, but K was here just a while/few days ago.

"Oh joy," :smallsigh:
Sighs Luminar, tossing his hands into the air.
"And you have no idea where he is now, do you?"

[stopwatch]

Nitsuj receives his root beer and starts drinking. He sees and approaches Riki. What's up.:smallsmile:

[Beans]

I feel better knowing that. For serious.
She rests her head on his shoulder.

[Recaiden]

No, not really. I suppose I could try to track him. I need a bird and something that belonged to him.

[Mee]

No, not really. I suppose I could try to track him. I need a bird and something that belonged to him.

"Great.
Sure, feel free to track him. Lemme know if you find him."
He sighs, and leaves.

Rachel, who was right behind Riki, says, "Poor Luminar." :smallfrown:

[Recaiden]

Yeah. I guess he's a good friend of K? Anyways, do you know where I could get any of those things?
She starts looking around the inn and in her bag.
Hello Nitsuj. Interesting. Good and bad, I suppose.

[Mee]

Yeah. I guess he's a good friend of K? Anyways, do you know where I could get any of those things?
She starts looking around the inn and in her bag.
Hello Nitsuj. Interesting. Good and bad, I suppose.

"His son. The one K was arguing for, about being banned.

So, what is this bird you're after?"
And for Nitsuj: Rachel appears to be a little girl of about 7. With red hair, and green eyes, and a fairly dirty, holed dress.

[Shades of Gray]

How cute. And Neil and Vo are thinking two different things.

Neil puts an arm around shoulders. I love you. Yes Neil, we know.

[stopwatch]

Oh, well, has anything been going on with Peter? I just couldn't find him.

[Recaiden]

I'm not sure, I haven't seen or heard of Peter in a while.
She turns around to face Rachel.
I don't technically need a bird. It would just help. To magically look for K. Although I suppose I could just track him by scent or footprints or something.

[Beans]

How cute. And Neil and Vo are thinking two different things.

Neil puts an arm around shoulders. I love you. Yes Neil, we know.
Are they?
Depends what he's thinking, really.
I... Say it.
I-I Saaaaaaay iiiiit.
... SAY IT, YOU NEEDY, EMO-FLAVORED, JUNKIE ZOMBIE WENCH!
I love you too.
Well, there it is.

[Shades of Gray]

Entirely. Neil is still insane.

Neil tries to plant one on her. No, not vegetation, a kiss.

[Mee]

I'm not sure, I haven't seen or heard of Peter in a while.
She turns around to face Rachel.
I don't technically need a bird. It would just help. To magically look for K. Although I suppose I could just track him by scent or footprints or something.

"Eh, tracking him can be hard. He used to be a ranger.
But you could try."
She shrugs.

[Beans]

Well, she's not exactly Sanity Sue either.
1. MAD. SCIENTIST.
2. Other stuff.
Bam, you just kissed a cold, dead woman, Neilio-dude-man-bro.
She makes an efffffffort at smiling. Judges?
5/10.
6/8.
Noses/Toeses.
Yay!

[Shades of Gray]

Neil smiles. He'd waited ten years for that. His hand is on the side of her face, the other around her waist.

[Recaiden]

Do you want to help find him somehow? Riki strides towards the door, holding some pepper in her hand.

[Beans]

Beans relays Shades's's's's's post to Vocusta's telegrammophone-o-meter radio telecommunications device-o-matic.
Waited a decade for that, didn't you?
I have no shame.

[Mee]

Do you want to help find him somehow? Riki strides towards the door, holding some pepper in her hand.

"I can't, really. I have few skills.
So I'll stay here."
Which is also good, as she has to deadtime now anyway.

Goodnight.

[Recaiden]

Alright then. Goodbye. Riki steps through the door and deadtimes.

[Shades of Gray]

Mmmhmmm. How was it?

[Beans]

Not too bad.
Wait, lemme check.
And she returns the favor.
Neil's either really touchingly devoted, really scarily devoted, kinda a necrophiliac, or any combination of the above.

[Shades of Gray]

All three. I think >.>

Neil tries to make this one much longer, and most likely has to remind Vocusta , by pulling away, that SOME people don't need an air supply, and thus can't do that for long.

[Beans]

Heheh. That was fun. Neil's like a less-scary me, what with all the mackin' on undead chicks and stuff.
I did not just say that.
Really.

[Shades of Gray]

O_o

*gasp* Mmmhmm. We should really do that more often. He smiles.

[Quinsar]

Hey!
There's a guy hee!
He's playing a guitar!

[stopwatch]

The plot Clone disappears because I must deadtime.

[Beans]

Hey!
There's a Liache here!
And she's annotating the hell out of Mister Guitar-Play. Pen goes scritchascratch on paper.

Vocusta smiles, a little coyly.
Agreed.

[Quinsar]

He's playing a song that sounds like it should be on a violin.
He's wearing jeans, a leather jacket with dual white stripes down the arms, and a superman shirt under that. he has shaggy grown hair and a soulpatch.

[Shades of Gray]

Neil goes to take a seat, getting a drink, gesturing for Vocusta to sit nearby.

[Beans]

If guitar-shaggy-man doesn't like getting eyed and written about by a daemonic secretary, then he gets to eat proverbial poo!

Man playing guitar is in need of a barber. Badly.

Vocusta sits by Neil, not getting a drink.

[Shades of Gray]

*glug* He scratches his goatee. So how long are we going to be together before I'm officially your boyfriend? He asks, grinning.

[Beans]

Three... two... one... NOW.
Start your timers, everybody.

[Shades of Gray]

Right. He says, pressing a button on his watch. We've been going steady for... 6 seconds. Heh, that's longer than most relationships.

[Beans]

... 14 seconds.
Congratulations, Neil, we have outlasted the average celebrity marriage!

[Shades of Gray]

Our parents would be so proud. He says generically, then realizes what he said. Wait, no. Nevermind. Never again.

[Beans]

Yeah.
Everybody else would be so proud.
And most of those people are off their respective rockers.

[Shades of Gray]

I can just imagine all the other undead crying out "ewww biophiliac." Neil says, teasing her.

[Beans]

Pssh. Likeable undead dudes are as common as French war heroes. Zing. Sigh.
We'll be the controversy couple of the year!

[Shades of Gray]

Right next to that girl who married a robot.

[Beans]

Heh.
Or the two toasters.
She leans against him.

[Shades of Gray]

Damn, we got some major competition. He says, putting his hand on her leg.

[Beans]

Not to be outdone, she puts her hand on his leg.
Well, we're destined to win.
Because... I dunno, we're that cool.

[Shades of Gray]

Oh yeah? Left hand green! Right foot blue!

Of course. The toasters will be disqualified anyway, they're the same race.

[Beans]

The ultimate Twister quote is, for me, Right Hand Red. Dunno why.
Yeah.
And they're just toasters anyway.
She slips one arm around his waist.

[Shades of Gray]

((Deadtime. Please keep playing twister till I get back))

[Chas the mage]

Richard enters.
The Grey berets are at a table.
Chas be at the bar.

[Beans]

Liache probably be's here, secretary-ing.

[Chas the mage]

Richards eyes Liache. He hates deamons.
Chas drinks vodka.
Grey berets have BFGs.

[Beans]

Liache doesn't seem to care.

((Quinsar? Be's you there, Quin?))

[Chas the mage]

Richard sits down at the bar.
Grey berets still have BFGs.
Chas is still drinking.

[Beans]

Liache is taking notes.

Master and I recovered the needed tome; I expect his magick to be restored soon if not already back.

[Steilos]

Stephen is here. This is the first real day he's actually been unmolested. For once, he's had an uneventful day. That may well be because he spent most of it upstairs on the bed curled up and whimpering, bu at least nothing bad happened.
Stephen quickly touched the underside of the table. before returning to his drink. And his clock too. He hasn't noticed Liache yet.

[Lerky]

Renn is here...in spirit
and person

[Shades of Gray]

As is Neil, reading the paper. The headline says that three more have gone missing in the space of a day.

[Beans]

Vocusta walks in to sit down by Neil.
Yeesh, more disappearances?

[Shades of Gray]

Neil nods. Yeah, all at random they say.

[Beans]

Why would anyone do that?

[Shades of Gray]

No clue. The usual reasons are out, there's no pattern or reason. No signs of struggle either.

[Beans]

Vocusta scoots closer to him.
Eeesh. That's pretty damn creepy.

[Shades of Gray]

Neil nods, putting an arm around her. Well I'm sure he'll be taken down soon enough, there's a whole lot of "heroes" in this town.

[Beans]

Not of the "super" variety, I hope.
I hate goddamned superheroes.

[Shades of Gray]

I'm glad I didn't find you when I was in my "superhero" phase.

[Beans]

She lightly punches his chest. And by lightly, I mean like... boink.
Damn right. Superheroes killed every one of my classmates 'cept Chris. Including me, I died too.
But we all know how that worked out. She says sullenly, still leaning against him.

[Shades of Gray]

Oof. He says as he's punched'd.

Well... Ummm.. I don't really know what to say... So... What do you think of super-villains?

[Beans]

Oh, well, I kinda was one in the months post-death, when I was searching for Chris and all. He was one too. They called him The Scourge.
But me? Well, ever hear of Crimson Death? Yep, that was me. She giggles.
Man, was I messed up then.
