Trog's Tavern CXXXII

[McBish]

The hound wakes up and goes over to sniff the man in armor.

[AmberVael]

The armor smells interesting. Like its exotic, having been from many places.
The man, however, is entirely scentless. He looks down at the hound with slight interest.

[McBish]

The hound looks up at the man with no smell hoping he has food.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Goblind all cringe and cover thair heads and shut up.
the leader snickers

[Lykan]

The man's ears perk up and he turns around momentarily before going back to his drink

Bridge looks up at him

Really? I thought that was for show...

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus yawns as he leaves the money for the ale, he then heads up stairs.

[AmberVael]

The man moves past the dog, looking through the patrons.
How will I know them?
I will know.
He exits the tavern.

[Wukei]

Loki gives her a charming smile. Part of it...but I wouldn't have minded getting to know you better, either.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Goblins pay their bill and skulk out of the inn

[McBish]

((Fine ignore the hound with a nonmagical anti-magic field.))

The hound goes to the other patrons sniffing for food.

[Lykan]

Bridge smiles slightly, looking at the table

I don't know what to say...

The man at the bar chuckles

[Wukei]

Loki reaches down, pecks her on the cheek, winks, and disappear in a swirl of fire.

[Lykan]

Bridge smiles slightly, ordering a drink

The man at the bar pours himself another glass

[McBish]

((I don't know. Just saying.))

The hound goes and lays down by the fire.

Lillah orders another hot chocolate.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra walks downstairs and takes a booth seat where she can easily watch the door and the other patrons. She orders a glass of funky llama wine.

[McBish]

Lillah finishes her hot chocolate and turns towards the stage. She rubs her wrists and sighs.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra's wine comes and she pulls out her spellbook and starts to study.

[Rebonack]

'Regiji' walks into the tavern in his trademark blue tunic and sporting his usual grin. He crosses the room, then takes a seat next to the wolf hound. Despite his appearance Boru is able to immediately recognize that Regiji isn't actually in the body, just as he wasn't during the Arena fight.

Hello Boru. Regiji wanted me to check up on you.

[McBish]

{canine} Hi, who are you?

[wxdruid]

Alena trudges downstairs, she holds her wings tightly to her to avoid brushing them against anything. She sits dejectedly at the bar.

[Rebonack]

I'm Sal. I'm sort of Regiji's... assistant. I can use this body when he isn't in it. With his permission, of course.

Sal procures a steak from somewhere other than anywhere readily apparent and hands it off to Boru.

Hungry?

[wxdruid]

Cassandra looks up briefly and sips her wine. She quickly goes back to her studying.

[wxdruid]

Alena ruffles her wings as she tries to decide what she should do.

[McBish]

Boru takes the steak and quickly starts to eat it.

Lillah turns away from the stage and she fiddles with her empty glass debating wheter to go home or not.

[wxdruid]

She sighs and heads outside, Might as well try.

[Weebl]

Weebl's ghost wakes up and comes down from the rafters to continue his haunting. Aahhh yes! The bartaps would be perfect to start on! *Starts to put all the bar taps on full blast*

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Half orc in a dark cloak and hood walks in and sits down at the bar

[McBish]

((Got to go. I'll be back on later tonight.))

[wxdruid]

Cassandra looks up and watches as Cosmo runs around turning the bartaps off. She smiles to herself.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Half orc orders a room for the night and retires to upstairs

[Tussy the Druid]

Tussy, after a long afternoon departs, knowingly not paying his bill.

[wxdruid]

Cosmo grumbles about his children not eating tonight as he cleans up the mess and watches Tussy leave.

Cassandra smirks and goes back to her spellbook.

[Weebl]

Weebl goes to rip up the spell book like any self respecting ghost that haunts.

[wxdruid]

Weebl can't touch her spellbook, it's protected by various spells. Cassandra slams it shut and walks outside.

[Weebl]

Awww... Nuts! My first haunting and its foiled by magic. Oh well. I got other places to haunt! And as he says that he floats through the door toward the Police station.

[Wukei]

(*kick starts Trog's*)

Loki walks in, looking older (late 30s older.) He sits at the bar and orders a lager.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin walks in, tired and says "Ladies and Gentlemen, Eralin" he says as he falls to the floor, collapsed from exaustion.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye steps into the tavern and walks up to the bar "Beer please Cosmo"

[Wukei]

Loki sees Hawkeye and tries to avoid eye contact, if just for the sake of not getting into an argument.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin crawls up to the bar and orders a coffee. He downs it in one drink and looks around the room "Quiet day here?"

[Wukei]

Loki looks at Carrion in shock. Are you a fool?! NEVER say the 'q' word in this building!

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Quiet?" Eralin asks, looking at Loki.

[Wukei]

He reaches over and slaps the man.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye makes his listen check and looks at Loki. He scowls at him "Loki"

[Wukei]

Loki stops midswing and looks at Hawkeye. Ah...Hawkeye...hello...

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"AH! WHAT THE HELL!" Eralin says as He walks from the Tavern in anger.

[Lykan]

Bridge looks over after her player realizes Trog's is moving agian

Loki?

The man with the spectacles looks over at whatever cnflict is currently ensueing

[Hawkeye]

"What are you doing here? And don't make the smart ass reply of "I'm having a drink" because I'm so not in the mood for that"

[Wukei]

That wasn't going to be my response... He looks over at Bridge and gives her an half-hearted smile. I was...well, yea. I was having a drink. But I just got done speaking with Wukei, so it's more like I 'needed' a drink.

[Lykan]

Bridge frowns

What happened to you?

[Rebonack]

'Regiji' stands up and exits Trog's.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye fumes "What have you done now, oh so high and godly bastard?"

[Wukei]

Loki sighs and buries his face in his arms, choosing not to answer either Hawkeye or Bridge.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye blinks a couple of times at Loki, then turns back to the bar, paying and tipping Cosmo for the drink he ordered. He shakes his head and takes a gulp of his beer.

[Lykan]

Bridge sits down next to Loki

Loki?

[Wukei]

Loki looks up at her and smiles. Hey there, Pumpkin. Want me to light your candle? He winks, but there doesn't seem to be any real fire behind his suggestion.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian enters the tavern, and looks around. He sees Lillah and takes a seat next to her, whispering in her ear to let her know he's there.

[Lykan]

Bridge frowns

Maybe if you tell me what's wrong...

[Wukei]

He shakes his head and glances over at Hawkeye pointedly.

[Lykan]

Bridge shakes her head

Don't let him get to you... You did good today.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye continues to sip his drink, not looking in Loki's direction

[Wukei]

He smiles. Thanks, Sweetheart. But his hatred of me really doesn't bother me...

[Kyrian]

Kyrian grabs a rootbeer and watches the happenings of the tavern.

[Lykan]

Bridge frowns

Then what's wrong?

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye glances over at Bridge "Don't trust a single thing he says girl. He is the god of trickery after all."

[Wukei]

He shakes his head. I'd just rather not state the problem in present company.

[Kyrian]

You mean how you're not a god anymore?

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin walks back into the Tavern and waves to everyone, seeing the slapper from before he says "QUIET!" A then goes to take a seat next to him at the bar.

[Wukei]

Loki kicks Carrion's stool over then looks to Kyrian, his eyes narrowing.

[Lykan]

A giant tentacle comes out and smashes Eralin

Bridge frowns at Hawkeye

I can judge someone myself, thank you...

He looks at Loki again and frowns

Can't you tell me telepathically? You can do that, can't you?

She doesn't seem to have heard Kyrian

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Crap!" Eralin says as he falls to the floor and dodges the tenticle . "Damn you!" He says as he draws both of his revolvers and smirks "quiet" he says smuggly, both revolvers ready to fire.

[Wukei]

Loki looks at the man in a way that shows a lack of fear of death. He then looks to Bridge. Why not ask Kyrian? He obviously knows...

[Kyrian]

That's right, Loki...I know.

[Lykan]

Bridge frowns

I don't like the hostility here...

[Hawkeye]

"If you'd be around long before girl you'd understand why there's hostility"

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin jumps onto his feet and looks at the god "Thats right, know your place maggot" Eralin says as he brings his stool upright and sits down "Your strongest ale please." He says as he spit-shines his revolvers.

[Wukei]

Loki growls but holds his silver tongue in place with his teeth as he remembers the promise that he couldn't break.

[Lykan]

Bridge takes Loki's hand

Please, Mr. Hawkeye... He might not be a friend of yours, but he is one of mine.

He looks down at Loki

Lets get out of here...

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin looks at his revolvers and says "Hey, what are you? Were-Animal, Demon, Devil, Angel, what?"

[Wukei]

He stands, nodding to Bridge. He glances over at Eralin and states, Just human...

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"You sure about that?" Eralin asks.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye coughs on his drink "He's a friend of yours girl? You're a fool if you think that, he uses people, not befriends them."

[Lykan]

Bridge rolls his eyes before taking Loki's hand and heading for the exit

[Wukei]

Loki follows Bridge and glances back at Hawkeye. Take care...

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eramil aims his revolver and fires a regular Iron round at Loki.

[Wukei]

Loki, expecting that he's still fast enough to step aside is surprised when he's struck. He grabs his shoulder. Gods dammit!

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye doesn't turn around "Getting a little bit slow Loki?"

[Lykan]

Bridge roars, taking on her more draconic visage

YOU BASTARD!

She blasts a line of acid at Eramil

[McBish]

Lillah sighs as she heres the gunfire.

[Kyrian]

So Lillah...fancy it's time to leave?

[Wukei]

He grabs at Bridge's shoulder, holding his own with his other hand. Please. Don't.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Im so sorry, I just though you were- But your name- But *groans*" Eramil stands up and pulls a vial from his belt "Im sorry, here, drink this."

[McBish]

Oh and since no one else has done this hundereds of tentacles fly in from everywhere and start grabing at people. Esspecially Eramil.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Gods" Eramil reloads his revolver with incinerary shots and fires at the tenticles, pistolwhipping ones that get to close.

[Lykan]

Oh and since no one else has done this hundereds of tentacles fly in from everywhere and start grabing at people. Esspecially Eramil.

((I did...))

Bridge growls

I'll see you rot in jail, creep.

He looks back at Loki

Can you walk?

[Kyrian]

Lillah? Kyrian lightly touches her hand, ready to pull back if he has to.

[Wukei]

(*sigh* I remember when "quiet" didn't imply stupid tentacles...)

Loki smiles, though it seems strained. It's just my shoulder.

He grits his teeth, So this is what it feels like to be mortal...gods I hope Merant shows up soon...

[McBish]

((Sorry missed that Lykan, but he said it after that to. So *shrug*))

The tentacles blow up and then get bored and go home to play Life the board game.

Lillah doesn't pull her hand away, Yeah?

[Kyrian]

Would you care to accompany me to Inari's gardens?

[McBish]

Sure I guess that would be nice.

Shea gets up and heads out the door.

[Lykan]

Brdige frowns

Come on... I know someone that might be able to help.

The man with the spectacles turns

Yeah, I better come too... I dunno where the old man's gotten to anyway.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian kisses her cheek, and stands, helping her up from her seat.

Which method of travel shall we take?

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Take the vial loki! It'll heal it!" Eramil says, still offering the potion.

[McBish]

Well we can just go through the mirror. She stands up.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian leads her over to the mirror, and steps aside for Lillah.

[McBish]

Lillah steps through the mirror.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian follows her.

[Wukei]

Loki scowls at the man and spits on his boot. I'd rather be ravaged by wild sex monkeys.

[Kyrian]

A pack of wild sex monkeys, just happening to walk past the tavern, debate taking Loki up on that offer.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin smirks and says "Your friends mune to silver." At the end of that, Eramil raises his revolvers and fires a whole clip of acid shots at loki, the other one shoots silver shots at Lykan.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye smirks at Loki's comment "I'd love it if that happens...although I'd rather not watch it..."

[Lykan]

Bridge loowers herself to all fours,, and transforms into a copper dragon the size of a horse

Get on, I can take you someplace to get healed...

The bullets bounce of Bridge as she takes a step in front of Loki to block the shots made on him

Choke on this.

SHe lets out another blast of acid at the attacker

[Hawkeye]

A solid wall appears in front of Loki stopping the bullets "Now, now, no ones killing him before I get to" says a disembodied voice

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin then throws the vial on the floor and a cloud of green gas fogs the room, when it clears, some things have acid tear and eralin is gone.

[Kyrian]

((*Points Carrion_Humanoid to where it says in the first point that Trog's is indestructible.))

[Wukei]

Loki chuckles. I don't know whether I should be grateful or not, Merant... He smiles at Bridge, Hun, I can't let a woman carry me to a temple. A)It's not manly. 2)I'm a fugitive of most temples here.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

((Ah, riiiigggghhhhtttt. . . Just trying to say it was acid.))

[Hawkeye]

"And so you should be Loki"

[Wukei]

He frowns and approaches Hawkeye. That's it...

[Lykan]

Bridge smiles

Mayby, but riding a dragon seems to get you a certain amount of respectability...

She sighs and frowns, changing back to human form

Come on, I know someone who can help.

The man with the spectacles waches the scene

I'll try and reach him...

He steps outside. Bridge frowns

Loki...

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye sips his drink, ignoring Loki and keeping his back to him

[Wukei]

Loki grabs Hawkeye by the collar and backhands him. Though it seems that Loki has more of a hurt face than Hawkeye. He shoves him away and heads to the door.

[Lykan]

Bridge follows

Loki, wait for me!

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye rubs where he's been hit and scowls after Loki "He's not worth the effort Hawkeye..." he turns back to his drink and finishes it. He orders another drink and pays for it, taking a large gulp out of it when it arrives.

[Renegade Paladin]

Gaheris snapped awake at the sound of the backhand slap connecting and looked around, quickly taking in the scene.

"Hawkeye! Fenrir said you were dead," he said in mild surprise, his right eyebrow raised. "Welcome back to the land of the living."

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye looks at Gaheris tiredly "Oh, I'm surprised you give a damn considering your apparent contempt for my family."

[Renegade Paladin]

The eyebrow went higher. "What in the Hells are you on about?"

[Nevrmore]

Hawk opens the door, not caring about the inrush of cold. He steps in and lets it swing back to its closed position. He looks at Hawkeye for a moment.

Hmmm... He thinks (He's not a very deep man).

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye finishes his drink "You took every opportunity to condemn my wife for crimes that I proved wasn't her fault. I've got no time for you" he vanishes in a cloud of purple

[Renegade Paladin]

Gaheris opened his mouth to respond as Hawkeye vanished. He closed it again and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, if that's the way you feel about it..." He turned and left the tavern, seeing nothing else to do here.

[Nevrmore]

A voice of indeterminable gender rings lightly inside the heads of all the bar patrons.

If you've white hair and crimson armor, come to the street in front of Trog's Tavern.

It remains in their minds for a long while before dying away slowly.

[wxdruid]

Alena walks in and picks up a stool, she carries it to a corner. She unbags her prized concert harp and loses herself in the comfort of her music.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra walks in and goes right upstairs.

[Rebonack]

You are far from your home in this crossroads of creation, child. The voice speaks to Alena's mind once more, pained by her dispair. Though you are not of our Flock, we can give you this hope. Trust in the one to whom you sing. Trust that you will be returned to your rightful place. Trust that the love of your god will lead you when the voice of your god will not. You must Trust.

[wxdruid]

Alena opens her eyes and looks around for the source of the voice as she continues to play.

[Rebonack]

No source of the voice can be perceived, nor does it speak again. Despite this Alena feels a divine aura of comfort and peace around her, as though being cradled in the arms of a loving guardian.

[wxdruid]

Alena closes her eyes again and continues to play, her songs turning to ones expressing joy and peace.

[McBish]

The hound wakes up and scratchs at his neck. He goes over and lays down by the feet of Alena.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles as she looks down at the hound, she reaches down one hand to pet the top of his head, before she continues to play.

[McBish]

The hound just sits there listening to the music.

[wxdruid]

Alena slowly changes the music to one of the hunt and the joy of running outdoors.

[McBish]

The hounds tail wags as he hears the music.

[wxdruid]

Alena adds in the spell Speak with Animals as she continues to play. She slowly ends the song and lowers her hands for a brief rest. She pets the hounds head again {canine} Hello

[McBish]

{canine} Hi there. You make good noise.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles, {canine} Well, thank you. You're a very handsome hound.

[McBish]

The hounds tail just wags at the compliment.

[wxdruid]

{canine} Would you like to hear another song?

[McBish]

{canine} Yeah, you make nice... songs.

[AmberVael]

The crimson man comes into Trog's and sits at a removed table, placing his sword on the table.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and turns her attention back to her harp, she activates Sculpt Sound and Ghost Sound spells on her harp and plays another song of the hunt for the hound. He can hear the sound of the wind in the trees and the sound of the prey running in front of him.

[McBish]

The hound looks around as he hears the sound his tail wagging. Then he realizes this lady is doing it and listens to her play and enjoys the music and the sound of the hunt.

[AmberVael]

The crimson clad man listens with interest, his mind quiet for once.

[wxdruid]

Slowly very slowly her song changes from the hunt to expressing the joy of soaring through the skies, the feeling of the wind through her feathers. Her wings arch behind her as she closes her eyes and plucks the strings of her harp.

[McBish]

The hound listens to this song as well, wondering what it would be like to fly.

[AmberVael]

The crimson clad man watches it all with his burning blue gaze, betraying no emotions.
Of course, with a featureless mask on, showing emotion is hard.

[Rebonack]

Regiji enters the tavern with Shea and hails Paige.

"A hot chocolate for myself and the munchkin, if you please," Regiji says brightly.

He takes a seat at one of the tables, noting the presence of Will Scarlet.

[McBish]

Shea sits next to him and watchs Alena play her harp.

[wxdruid]

Alena adds in long swoops and spirals of sound, using the full range of her harp.

[AmberVael]

'Will' as he has been dubbed, inclines his head to Regiji and then turns back to watching Alena as she plays.

[Rebonack]

Regiji returns the man's nod. Huh... maybe I misread him...

Paige arrives shortly with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate. Regiji hands off a pair of gold pieces to the NPC.

The woman thanks him, then hands the psychic prodigy and the scout their drinks.

Regiji sips, savoring the taste. Much better than that Dragon Liver Buster.

[McBish]

Shea takes his drink and nods to Paige in thanks.

The hound sees Regiji and heads over to him.

[Rebonack]

Regiji leans back in his chair a bit, studying Shea. The level of psionic power crammed into the kid is amazing.

"So, Shea," Regiji begins. "Earin never told me much about you. I'm curious, is he your dad or just your mentor?"

Hi Boru. How are you enjoying the songs?

[wxdruid]

She slowly and quietly adds in her voice, slowly gaining volume. She expresses her joy and wonder in soaring with the wind. She sings of flying through the clouds, feeling the wind in her feathers and the sun on her back.

[McBish]

Um, well I'm staying with him and Elya. He isn't my dad or mentor really.

[AmberVael]

'Will' watches Alena, wondering how long it took her to gain such a level of skill, and how much talent she possessed when she first tried her hand at making music.

[gegiet]

Gegiet and Iria teleport into trogs and take a seat at the bar.

[Romulus]

A winged man enters the tavern, and takes a seat at the bar. He looks around, and notices the source of the music.

[wxdruid]

Alena slowly ends the song and opens her eyes. She looks around, Any requests?

[Rebonack]

"More of a guardian then," Regiji nods. "That's ok."

He rubs the wolf hound on the head.

"Oh! This is Boru. He isn't my dog, at least not yet, but he's been staying with me for a few days."

[Romulus]

The man at the bar applauds for the musical performance.

[gegiet]

Gegiet looks at the newcomer. Hello, I do not believe I have seen you here before.

[Dispozition]

*Dis wakes up rather groggily at the back of the tavern. Seeing someone playing the harp, he pulls out his guitar and begins to play along hoping she wont mind*

[AmberVael]

The crimson man moves to join Alena.
If you felt you needed to repay me, I think you just have.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and bows her head politely, Any requests?

Alena looks down and a slight blush appears on her cheeks, Thank you Sir.

[McBish]

Shea nods. He is a big dog. The hound sniffs Shea and looks up at him. Shea reaches out and pets Boru.

[Dispozition]

*Dis looks in the direction of Alena*

"Do you know stairway to heaven?"

[Romulus]

The man doesn't seem to notice the question as he watches the lady that finished playing music.

"Depends, what all do you know?"

[wxdruid]

Alena turns to Dispozition, I'm sorry I don't, can you start it? I can harmonize with you.

to Romulus, I know a wide range of classical and orchestral music.

[Rebonack]

Regiji grins.

"He certainly is. He tells me he's very good at hunting."

[gegiet]

Gegiet turns back to the bar and orders Gegiet and Iria's drinks.

[Romulus]

"Anything from either of those genres would be fine with me."

[AmberVael]

The man thinks about it all, then very slightly moves his chair back so he isn't in the same 'area' as Alena, so as not to draw attention away from her and to himself.

[McBish]

Really? I guess he would be. He drinks the rest of his hot chocolate. The hound lays down at Shea and Regiji's feet.

[wxdruid]

Alena waits to see if Dispozition is going to play as she nods towards Romulus.

[Romulus]

Romulus gets up and walks over, to introduce himself.

"Hi, I'm Romulus."

He offers his hand.

[wxdruid]

Alena politely stands and extends one hand, her wings rustling behind her. I'm Alena

[Dispozition]

*Dis shrugs and begins playing*

"You know, I don't think I've seen you in here before Alena...In case your might be wondering, I'm trogs resident bard and fallen angel, Dis."

((Darn simu-postage))

[gegiet]

Cosmo bring Gegiet and Iria's drinks

[AmberVael]

The crimson clad man sees Alena in the center of attention, then moves away in a polite manner. He ends up near Regiji, though whether this is accident or design is uncertain.

[Romulus]

Romulus shakes her hand, and polietly gives it a kiss.

"Pleased to meet you."

He steps out of her way so that he too won't draw attention away. His wings fold against his back as he takes a seat at a nearby table.

((Sorry Gegiet, I'd meant Alena))

[gegiet]

((that is ok, I will edit))

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and sits back down, pulling her harp towards her. She begins to harmonize with Dispozition's playing.

[Rebonack]

"Would you like to talk with him?" Regiji asks with a smile. "He's quite the conversationalist if you can get the inflections of canine figured out."

[gegiet]

Gegiet listens to the music as Iria sips her drink.

[McBish]

Shea yawns, Maybe another time. I should go back and go to bed. Night Regiji. He stands up and heads out the door and goes to the Goldshadow's.

((Night all))

[Ramza Hawkwing]

The door opens, and slams against the wall. A large, rough and rugged man enters the tavern, and sits down at the bar. His unkempt brown hair hangs all around his head, and his somewhat dirty clothes show that he's been out in the wild for a long time.

Grog!

[AmberVael]

Aesa teleports into Trog's Tavern, raising an eyebrow as she notices the unusual amount of people with wings. She ruffles her own black feathered wings and sits at the bar.

[AmberVael]

The crimson armored man sits near Regiji, turning his blue gaze onto him once more.

[Rebonack]

"Goodnight Shea," Regiji responds.

He leans back in his chair, glad that he was able to get the boy's mind off of worry for a t least a short time.

He rubs the hound behind the ear as he shifts his attention toward the Man in Red.

"I already know better than to ask your name. Perhaps I could ask how long you plan to stay in Town instead?"

[AmberVael]

A fair amount of time. I see no reason to leave in the near future.

[wxdruid]

Alena continues to harmonize against Dispozition's music.

((Alena won't talk/ have conversation while playing, she considers it a distraction))

[Romulus]

Romulus watches Alena play, and quietly hums along.

[Dispozition]

((Hmmm...Makes sense I suppose...))

*After a few minutes of playing Dis stops to admire the sound coming from Alens'a harp*

"You know...I haven't heard anyone play the harp that well in afair while..."

[AmberVael]

Aesa flicks her wings into place, listening to the music for a moment before snapping her fingers. A glass of wine appears in her hand.

[Ramza Hawkwing]

Me want grog!

The unkempt man slams his fists on the bar, making any and all drinks jump up slightly.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles as she quietly stops playing, I've been playing the harp for most of my life.

[Romulus]

"Well, Alena, you sound amazing."

Romulus orders a llamanade from an NPC.

[Dispozition]

"That would probably be why then...Am I right to presume you're a bard?"

[Rebonack]

"I see," Regiji responds, pondering this answer. "I'm sure you must be here for reasons other than providing the Townspeople helpful hints regarding any Plots that are currently plaguing them. Though I must say I'm grateful for the information you provided. It looks like Elya will be fine."

He does his best to ignore the fellow who appears to be unable to properly utilize pronouns.

[AmberVael]

Aesa's wings rustle a little, and she turns her attention to the others in the bar. Her yellow, hawk gaze lingers on Dis, Romulus, and Alena.

[wxdruid]

to Romulus, Thank you

to Dispozition, Yes, I am a bard. I've been learning music since I could talk. All angels do where I come from.

[AmberVael]

The man apparently has no answer to this. He nods and leans his sword against the table.

[Dispozition]

Aesa's wings rustle a little, and she turns her attention to the others in the bar. Her yellow, hawk gaze lingers on Dis, Romulus, and Alena.

((Oh? Why's this? Something to do with the wings, yes?))

"Hmmm...I wouldn't know about that...Albiet I'm an angel, I'm not exactly a normal one...I'm not sure I know any others like me.

[Romulus]

"Your welcome."

Rom's drink arrives and he takes a sip, as he tips the NPC.

[Ramza Hawkwing]

ME WANT GROG!!!

Cosmo grumbles and gives the man a grog. He holds his hand out for payment, and receives a rock.

[wxdruid]

Oh, Alena nervously ruffles her wings, and looks like she isn't quite sure what to say. She plucks a few strings on her harp.

[AmberVael]

((Oh? Why's this? Something to do with the wings, yes?))
((No. She randomly picked out tavern patrons. *Rolls eyes.*))
Aesa considers getting in on the conversation between the winged group.

[Dispozition]

((Well...You might have done...))

*Dis, seeing Alena isn't sure what to say, just smiles and laughs*

"Don't worry. It's better than being dead, which is what I would be if I wasn't this."

[Romulus]

Romulus sips his drink and notices Aesa looking over.

"Hi."

[wxdruid]

She looks a bit surprised at Dispozition's words. Oh, shall we play another song?

[Romulus]

Turning back to Alena quickly, Romulus speaks up.

"I've got a bass, if you two don't mind a third."

[AmberVael]

((Well...You might have done...))
((Might. Do not mind me and my sarcasm.))
Aesa smiles a little at Romulus. Hello.

[Rebonack]

Regiji leans back in his chair. Apparently Will wasn't the most talkative fellow. Oh well, no reason to bother him unnecessarily. He watches the winged humanoid gathering for a while.

Then he begins stacking peanuts on his index finger.

[Romulus]

Romulus turns back to Aesa. He gives her a smile.

"Name's Romulus."

[Dispozition]

*Dis nods*

"I'll let you lead this time...I'm not the best guitarist, but I'm sure I can pick it up along the way."

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles, I don't mind.

She pulls her harp back down and places her hands. She starts a light hearted tune, her fingers skipping over the strings.

[AmberVael]

'Will' shrugs and vanishes.

[AmberVael]

I am Aesa. Aesa hesitates, then holds out her hand.

[Romulus]

Romulus shakes Aesa's hand. He polietly kisses the back of her hand.

"Are you new here too?"

[Ramza Hawkwing]

Cosmo says something to the man about real payment for the grog.

Me pay you! You keep change!

The man runs from the tavern, taking the mug of grog with him.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus walks to the spot light and tunes his lute, after which he begins to play a steady melody as he sings, Dead men lying on the bottom of their grave, wondering when savior comes, are they gonna be saved? Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die

[AmberVael]

Aesa is taken aback by the question. How long have I been here now, anyways? She shakes her head. I have been here for a time.

[Romulus]

"Oh, ok. Still, it's a pleasure to meet you."

[gegiet]

A red crystal flies out from under Iria's cloak and begins to fly around the bar.

[Dispozition]

*Dis raises an eyebrow as Angelus walks onto the stage, but shrugs and begins playing along, not very loudly, however*

[wxdruid]

Alena trails off, uncertain of Angelus' tune.

[AmberVael]

A pleasure. Aesa is unsure of the entire situation, and is also wondering why she is not feeling the urge to do something destructive.

[Ryohoshi]

After Angelus finishes his song, he looks up at the group, Requests?

[Romulus]

"So, since you've been here for a time, what's there to do here?"

[AmberVael]

To do? Aesa laughs a little. You do not have to do anything. It comes to you.

[Dispozition]

Just about to ask the same thing...Well...We've got a decent collection of bards in here right now...Normally I'm the only one...Hmph."

*Dis turns to Romulus*

"She's right you know...And don't say the q word that also meant silent...Don't ask why...Just don't say it...Please...I don't have both my weapons on my right now..."

[wxdruid]

Alena rebags her harp and slips upstairs as Angelus takes the spotlight.

[Rebonack]

"Well, there's always the Villain of the Day," Regiji pipes up from his table in response to Romulus' question. "It's like soup de' jour. Except with a special blend of eleven evil herbs and spices."

[Romulus]

Romulus gives Aesa a smile. "You make that sound like both a good thing and a bad thing."

[AmberVael]

Its- Aesa holds up a hand to emphasize what she is about to say, then notices the silver and sapphire bracelet on her wrist. Yes. It is.

[Romulus]

"Well, are their any interesting places, aside from the tavern here?"

[Dispozition]

*Dis notices Aesa noticing her bracelet, but says nothing, deciding it might be better to ask when less people are around*

[Ramza Hawkwing]

The man runs back in, now completely soaked.

Grog!

[AmberVael]

My sister seems to find the police station interesting. I do not know what she sees in it, myself. Its far too confining for my liking. Aesa takes a blue badge out of her belt pouch. I am the secretary over at the mercenary guild. She appears amused by this.

[Romulus]

"Mercenary guild...now that sounds life fun...where do I sign?" Romulus smiles and drinks some more from his glass.
