Fus drinks some more water, thinking hard. He glares at Cosmo when Cosmo asks for payment, then flips a small gem at Cosmo. Cosmo scurries off.

[Lykan]

Deme goes back to his cocoa

You lie about not knowing, then.

The presence establishes a connection, and once open, seems to be benevolent.

I missed mom... Alot. I didn't even need to come here on this mission.

He sighs again, shaking his head.

[Kyrian]

No, you just finished introducing him to Libris.

[Sneak]

Sneak yawns and orders another drink.

[Castaras]

Mrrp?

The kitten looks round the room wide eyed.

Fus carries on drinking his water, and the extra water which Cosmo gave him.

[The_Librarian]

I'm sorry, the librarian replies, trying to think hard. I hope you enjoy what time you have with her now. She smiles. It's crazy that you know more about, well her than I do...

[blackout]

(Repost.)
Anyways, we need to figure out what's in those ruins, and I need some help. Preferably an archaeologist, and a lore-master. We already have guards, in case of trouble. You guys, and myself. But we need actual historical and magical/technological knowledge so we can know what's in there and make any sense of it. Total group number should be five, six tops.

[Castaras]

Ok, well if you need me to do anything just ask.

The halfling then teleports away.

The kitten closes its eyes and goes to sleep

((Be back in a sec))

[Lykan]

Antony makes a hissing sound, probably his attempt at a chuckle.

Yeah... She's funny.

He bites his lip

Don't mourn her coming...

Deme sighs, shaking his head.

Whatever, man.

[darnin]

Well, call me when you're ready. I'm not likely to be leaving this building until then.

[Kyrian]

What's your problem?

[Vespe Ratavo]

Vespe walks in, singing a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6U1TsIPb8) that seems to be referencing events and people, but apparently not from this world.

[blackout]

Well, before you leave Darnin, I could use your help with somethin' else. We need to spread the word, get that extra help we need. Here, pass out flyers. Nuke hands Darnin a stack of flyers listing details about the expedition, and spots Vespe. Pardon me for a sec. He runs over to Vespe. Excuse me, sir? Do you have a moment?

[Vespe Ratavo]

Vespe abruptly stops singing and turns to this man. Sure, go ahead.

[darnin]

Darnin takes them. Alright...

[Nevrmore]

Floyd enters the tavern, rubbing his temple where that damned guy had slammed him in the head with the hilt of a dagger last night.

[blackout]

My name is Shas'O Nukular, and I'm organizing an expedition into some ruins seen not too far outside of town. I need a team here, and I'm nearly complete. I just need someone with knowledge of ancient history and civilizations, and a lore-master. Between those two, I'm hoping to make sense of anything I find down there. I've already found guards, of which I am one. You wouldn't happen to be capable of filling in one of the available positions, would you? :)

[The_Librarian]

The librarian continues to stare into the fireplace.

I don't mourn it... I fear it.

With that, she gently closes off her mind and gets lost in her own thoughts.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Vespe places his hand on his chin. Well, I do have some knowledge of such things. I suppose I could come. What is said expedition for? ((For the greater good? :smallbiggrin:))

[blackout]

(( If by 'greater good' you mean 'MONEYMONEYMONEY' then yes. :) ))
Profit, possible insight into the dissapearance of one of any number of ancient civilizations that basically dissapeared overnight, and possibly the discovery of a new one. Take your pick. :)

[Vespe Ratavo]

Hmm..I'm in. When and where?

[Lykan]

Deme raises an eyebrow

What's YOUR problem?

Antony taps on the edge of her mind agian

[blackout]

Now. Lemme just get the other two guards. Hey, Fus, Darnin! Let's roll!

[Nevrmore]

"Is that some sort of crazy robo?" Floyd says, still rubbing his aching forehead.

[AmberVael]

Jack wakes up from his player induced coma.

[darnin]

Darnin heads over.

Alright. What about these?
I points out the stack of fliers as best he can.

[Castaras]

Fus reappears.

Have to be a quick trip for me, but yeh, let's go.

The kitten jumps off Sneak's shoulder and crawls underneath a table and goes back to sleep.

[Kyrian]

That it's not five thirty Eastern Standard Time yet?

[blackout]

The trip is now, Fus. We're in and out by sundown. And just leave em right there, Darnin. They can be used for makeshift napkins or somethin'.

[Nevrmore]

Floyd looks around and spots Jack. An unmistakable look suddenly spreads across his face. Floyd shot out his hand, pointing an accusing finger straight at Jack and said,

"You're the dude who didn't know who Tweety Bird was! Hahaha, tard!"

[AmberVael]

Jack hums to himself and begins studying a spellbook. He rolls his eyes at Floyd.
And you are the ignorant fool who does not understand the concept of a familiar.

[Vespe Ratavo]

((I have to leave for now, I guess he went to go get stuff))

[Nevrmore]

"Dude, let's not get into this again and just end up with me using my superior knowledge of cartoon antics to verbally beat you down again, ok?" Floyd says condescendingly.

[Castaras]

Fus looks at Nuke calmly.

I must leave to prepare. It may take me a while to...prepare...so leave without me. I will arrive when I am...ready...

He teles away.

((I gotta go))

[darnin]

Alright.
He puts them down.

[AmberVael]

Again? You really have no idea what was going on the first time, do you?

[Nevrmore]

"I know that I totally outwitted you."

[blackout]

((Please be back soon, I've been thinking this little 'side-quest' up for a while. :( I'm bored most of the time.))

[Castaras]

((Problem - won't be on til tomorrow around 4:00pm gmt

Just do it without me))

[AmberVael]

Jack winces.
You're truly that uneducated then?

[Kyral]

There's a sudden low sound in the Tavern, like howling wind and crackling fire. As it slowly gets louder, a blurred form becomes visible, until Kyral is present, arms aflame. He opens his eyes and both the flame and sound vanish, and he makes his way to the bar. "Just a glass of water and some gyros, thanks."

[Nevrmore]

"Makes yourself look pretty stupid to call the guy who completely dominated you in debate uneducated, doesn't it?"

[Lord Magtok]

Agent Omega enters the tavern, and thinks over the rubber chicken incident from a while ago, as he orders a drink and a lunch.

[AmberVael]

You had no idea what you were talking about, and still don't. I dropped the argument to help you cease displaying your utter ignorance and stupidity.

[Nevrmore]

"Whatever helps you sleep at night, pal."

[AmberVael]

I use a combination of herbs to help me sleep, not a feeling of superiority.

[Kyral]

Kyral nods to Omega as the bartender on shift arrives with his food. "G'day."

[Nevrmore]

Floyd looks at Jacko with a quirked brow, "You some sort of pothead?"

[blackout]

((It's ok, we'll wait. :) ))

[AmberVael]

Excuse me? Its a simple enough blend... I normally make a tea out of it.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian begins to see that it must be apparent that Demetrius was taught very little in a thing called respect.

[Nevrmore]

"Tea? What kind of gay pothead are you? You're supposed to smoke it, dude."

[AmberVael]

Jack raises an eyebrow.
Do you know what herbs I am talking about?

[Nevrmore]

"THC, easy as 1,2,3 dude."

[darnin]

In that case, I'll be "preparing" over at the bar.
He sits at the bar and orders a drink.

[AmberVael]

Good god, I have no idea what you're even saying.
Jack rumages through his various pouches, then pulls out a small bag.
Now tell me, is it a good idea to burn this?
He tosses it to Floyd.

[Nevrmore]

Floyd catches the bag and looks inside.

((Are the herbs intact, crushed up, what?))

[AmberVael]

((Intact. It appears to be a combination of some spice, tea leaves, and some kind of bark))

Jack watches Floyd with an amused smile.

[Nevrmore]

"The hell is this? Did you strip this off a tree??" Floyd says, pulling out a piece of bark. "This ain't no tetra hydra cannibiloco, my friend." With that, Floyd drops the bag to the ground and begins stomping on it repeatedly.

[AmberVael]

Jack snatches the bag off the ground after Floyd stomps on it once.
That was uncalled for.

[Nevrmore]

"Dude, no one wants to smoke the crap you put on your scrambled eggs in the morning."

[AmberVael]

Its not meant to be smoked, you moronic minstrel!
Jack puts the small bag back in his pouch.

[The_Librarian]

The librarian breaks out of her thoughts and glances up at the clock.

"Crikey, only an hour to go 'til the bachelors lose another from their ranks," she muses

[Nevrmore]

Floyd's face was so contorted from his ever rising brow that he looked likea Picasso masterpiece.

"Not meant to be smoked?! THEN WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU USING IT FOR?!"

[AmberVael]

Like I said, you deafened, wailing fool, I use it in a tea to help me sleep. By Vecna you're an irritating person to deal with.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian laughs at Libris' comment.

Yes, only an hour left.

[The_Librarian]

"And there's really no nerves yet?" the librarian asks. "You're a brave man, Ky."

[Kyrian]

I told you, yes, I'm nervous. But I'm more excited for it.

[The_Librarian]

The librarian grins.

"I hope this is the start of something amazing," she says.

[AmberVael]

Jack shakes his head and looks around the tavern.

[Kyrian]

I believe it will be.

[The_Librarian]

The librarian looks down fondly at the two wolves, both now asleep, then back up at Kyrian.

"What about you? Shouldn't you be getting ready?"

[Kyrian]

I will...in about six more minutes.

[AmberVael]

Jack decides that this isn't the place to be, and he leaves.

[Sneak]

Sneak walks in. Then, seeing Kyrian and Libris, he walks back out.

[The_Librarian]

The librarian smiles.

"Good luck, then, saiyan."

[Kyrian]

Kyrian stands. There's a brief flash of light as his clothing changes:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/wickedweasley/kyavvie.png

There, how's this?

[The_Librarian]

"Very dashing. Nice to see your eyes for a bit."

[Kyrian]

Kyrian grins.

It must be. Maybe I'll take the shades off more often?

[The_Librarian]

"I think so. It's a better look."

[Kyrian]

Kyrian gives a sly grin to his friend.

Hey now...I'm getting married...happily married I might add.

[The_Librarian]

"I was merely complimenting you," the librarian says, pouting. "As you should know by now, when I flirt, I make it obvious. I do so hate misunderstandings."

[Kyrian]

Kyrian laughs and gives Libris a quick hug.

I'm only teasing you.

[The_Librarian]

"Well, Mr. Saiyan, there's fifteen minutes to go. I need to check up on a few things at the house, but I'll hopefully see you there." She gets to her feet, dusts down the skirt and gently nudges the wolves awake.

"You take care of her, Ky, and enjoy the honeymoon." She leaves the tavern.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian sits down and waits.

[hr]
He vanishes.

[Chaotic Bob]

The two dvati wake up with a start. They get up and briefly consider going to the wedding, but decide against it.
We have no invitation
and we would probably just annoy someone.
They both laugh at that thought and decide to go annoy Rizzen.

[darnin]

Darnin looks around at the nearly empty tavern.

Strange. Wonder where everyone went. He orders a DLB, to try it out.

[Kyral]

Kyral sips his tea and, noticing that Darnin is the only one in the Tavern, nods in his direction. "G'day."

[darnin]

Darnin looks over at Kyral.

Hello.

[Kyral]

"I do not believe we've met properly." He puts his tea down on the bar and extends a hand. "Kyral."

[darnin]

Darnin takes it.

Darnin. Any idea where everyone is? I don't think I've ever seen the tavern so empty.

[Kyral]

Kyral shakes Darnin's hand and takes a sip of his tea. "I've heard that one of the Town's loal gods, Kyrian, is getting married today. I think the majority of the usual patrons might be at his wedding."

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre wanders in, taking his rest break from annoy-Rizzen duty.
They're all at Kyrian's wedding I think.
Wanders over and grabs some archon ale at the bar.

[darnin]

Ah. That would explain the guy wearing a tux in here earlier. Why aren't you going?

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre assumes Darnin's not talking to him, but decides to answer anyway.
I would undoubtably start to get on someones nerves and it is to be a happy occasion, not a "kick out the annoying dvati occasion".

[Kyral]

"I've only heard of Kyrian and seen him around the Tavern a few times myself. I doubt I'd be on the guest list for the wedding of someone I don't know."

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre mutters something agreeing with Kyral.

[darnin]

Same here. I'm mostly just waiting for some people to start an expedition I signed up for. Which probably won't be for a few hours yet.

[Kyral]

"Expedition? Hmm." He briefly remembers someone talking about an expedition earlier. "Where is this expedition supposed to lead to?"

[darnin]

Not quite sure. Somewhere.

[Kyral]

Kyral raises an eyebrow. "You signed onto an expedition and you don't know where you're going?"

[Chaotic Bob]

That doesn't sound too bright.....

[darnin]

Hey, it had good money, and I'm not too concerned for my safety.

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre shrugs and drinks some of the ale.
Your body, nuttin' I can do about that.

[darnin]

Besides, they did say it was somewhere not too far from town.

[Kyral]

Kyral nods and sips his tea. "I...see." He briefly glances around the empty Tavern, then looks back. "So, what brings you here?"

[Ceika]

*Ceika steps through the tavern doors as she finishes off the last bit of rum in the bottle. She heads straight for the bar and puts the empty bottle and some coin on the bar, trading her bottle for a new full one. She starts to head away, then thinks better of it and buys a second bottle before taking a seat at a table in the corner of the tavern.*

[Chaotic Bob]

Who was leading it?

He turns as he notices Ceika.
Hello, who are you? I'm Terre.

[darnin]

Oh...various reasons. Is it just me, or are there too many gods in this town? According to a theory I picked up somewhere, this many gods within such a small radius of each other ought to destroy the universe.

[Kyral]

"The universe." Kyral looks a little surprised by the theory. "There are quite a few gods in this Town, but I don't think that there are too many."

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre turns back to Darnin.
....if that theory was proven true then I'm fairly certain we would no longer exist now...
Tirre walks in and nods at Terre.
Oh boy, my shift.
He walks out the door and Tirre takes his seat.
Hiya peoples.

[darnin]

Yeah. They also tried proving that black was white and such. I only stuck around long enough to see most of them get killed a pedestrian crossing.

[Kyral]

Kyral snorts. "Unrealible theorists. To quote many sources; there is no black and white; there are only shades of grey."

[Ceika]

*She looks up and nods at the one addressing her.*

'Ello Terre. Name's Ceika.

*She takes another long dring from one of the bottles*

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre decides to sit by the fire.
That seems like more of a compromise than a theory.

[darnin]

Meh, I wouldn't know. I'm not really into that kind of stuff. Wonder how that wedding or whatever is doing.

[Kyral]

Kyral closes his eyes and then opens them with a yawn. "It's almost over."

[Chaotic Bob]

Another happy couple formalized within the world.

[darnin]

Hm? And how do you know that?

[Chaotic Bob]

I would assume divination magic of a sort, but thats not my specialty, so I wouldn't know.

[Kyral]

He glances at Tirre briefly. "I don't use magic...I don't even know how it works." He looks back at Darnin. "I'd heard where they were having the wedding, so when you asked, I imbued my eyes with the power to see, more or less, as far as possible...I took a look at the wedding and then took the power away from my eyes as to not distract me."

[darnin]

I suppose.

[Chaotic Bob]

Excuse me if thats wrong, but could that not be loosely defined as divination?

[Kyral]

"Divination, in a sense, perhaps. Magic, no."

[Hoseki]

Gatamu appears behind the bar and the iron bar that is his sister returns to a more organic form. "What?" "Nothing." "Oh."

[Chaotic Bob]

Fair enough, I'll accept that explanation.

[Kyral]

Kyral nods and notices Gatamu's appearance with a sigh.

[Alarra]

After awhile of walking, singing, and calming, Agneta is once again mostly quiet as the couple arrives at Trog's. Alarra checks things over to ensure there's proper decorations and flowers all around while El J continues to make funny faces at Agneta.

[darnin]

Meh, I wouldn't know one from another anyway. Magic is not my area of expertise.

[Ceika]

*Ceika listens halfheartedly to the conversatons going on while she works on her bottle of rum.*

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames and Aerin enter and wait for everyone else to arrive.

[Hoseki]

As Alarra and El J appear, an elf leaps down from the cat tree and sniffs Agneta.

Gatamu glances at Hoseki, but turns back to look at the other patrons.

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre gets wide eyed.
Oooh, they're coming back here? Neato!

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

"Who's the cutest? You are!"

The Pirate King sits in the corner, making funny noises and talking to the bundle of newborn in his arms. Being only a day old she's not paying much attention to him, but to his relief she's at least not crying.

[Alarra]

Alarra smiles and waves a hello to Ceika as she passes by.

[darnin]

Looks like the wedding is over. This is just the quiet before the storm.

[Kyral]

Kyral looks back at Darnin and takes a sip of his tea. "Indeed."

[Ceika]

*Ceika nods in response to Alarra with a smile.*

[darnin]

Darnin looks at Kyral. My point exactly.

[Chaotic Bob]

I like storms, so this should be enjoyable. I wander if their will be any fights like there is every other time more than 5 people come in here....

[McBish]

Lillah and Kyrian appear by the door.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

El J finally sees Ceika and carefully stands up to head over to her table. "Ahoy there, mind if we sit with you?"

[Hoseki]

Hoseki notices Ceika and grins. She crosses over to her and sits down next to her. "Hey, Ceika! Long time no see."

((Ceika's so poular!))

[Chaotic Bob]

Lookee! The newly weds are here! Congratulations!
Tirre hops onto a table and begins to do what you might suspect to be a celebratory dance.

[Ceika]

*Ceika smiles at El J.* Of course not, you're always welcome, you know that. *Her smile broadens and she pats Hoseki on the shoulder when she sits down* Hey! How've things been?

((hehe, yeah, apparently))

[darnin]

Darnin nods and looks around.

[Kyral]

Kyral glances at Lillah and Kyrian and nods at Darnin. "Yes."

[Kyrian]

Kyrian leads Lillah over to a table

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

Alarra sits with El Jaspero, and they huddle together to tend their baby amid the chaos of Trog's.

((Off to eat dinner for a bit.))

[Rebonack]

For reasons ineffable a rhesus monkey tears across the tavern at leaps at Gatamu.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin leads Iames over to Kyrian and Lillah. Congratulations, she says, smiling.

[McBish]

Thank you. She says to the person who congratualted them and Aerin. And then takes a seat, but not before getting another kiss from Kyrian.

[Hoseki]

"About average. Gatamu's considering eating everyone without asking. In case you want to take cover." Hoseki grins. "How have you been?"

Gatamu notices the monkey and leaps right back at it.

[Kyrian]

Thank you, Aerin.

[AmberVael]

Earin, Elya, and Molph appear in the tavern.

[Lord Iames Osari]

You're welcome.

[darnin]

This place is starting to get a bit crowded.

[McBish]

Lillah takes Kyrian's hand and beams at everyone.

Thank you, and I hope your husband didn't fill you to full of lies about me. I swear only most of them are true.

[Lord Iames Osari]

I'd just like to tell you that the emotions coming from the two of you were achingly beautiful, Iames puts in.

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre laughs and dances all the harder, hopping from tabletop to tabletop.

[Ceika]

*Ceika watches the commotion mostly in silence, slowly empyting the bottle of rum.*

[Kyral]

"Indeed." Kyral looks about briefly, nods, and disappears with a loud bang.

[AmberVael]

Elya grins.
Oh no, don't worry. I understand the need to kick Earin around...
Earin rolls his eyes.

[wxdruid]

Hawk and Gwen walk into the Tavern. She smiles at everyone she knows and waves a hello to Kyrian and Lillah.

[Hoseki]

((Hoseki prods Ceika and points toward her last post.))

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex and Alena appear in the room.

[McBish]

Thanks Iames. I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as I did. She waves to everyone who just came in.

What can I say, sometimes I just can't control myself. Now lets go
congratulate the happy couple.

[wxdruid]

Alena looks around and flicks her wings tightly against her back. She smiles and waves to everyone she knows.

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre bursts in the door.
Hey now! Don't leave me out!
He walks over to Kyrian and Lillah and bows.
Congratulations once more!
He notices Tirre, and walks over and yanks him off one of the tables.
Hey, what was that for?
You were making a fool out of yourself.

[Ceika]

((whoops, didn't see that.))

*Realizing she's being spoken too, Ceika looks up, blinking a few times to clear her vision.*

Been... better. But've been worse as well. Got a ship in the docks, so it look lik I'm taking up the helm again. That'll be nice when we get her under sail.

[AmberVael]

Elya smiles and nods, and she pulls Earin with her as she goes over to Lillah and Kyrian.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex turns to Alena "Shall we go across and greet the wedded couple? I've got something to give to them."

[Kyrian]

What Lillah said, Iames.

Kyrian turns back to Lillah and kisses her again.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles, Sure, she rustles her wings making them even tighter against her back.

[Rebonack]

The monkey, inexplicably, impact Gatamu with an equal amount of force as a creature of Gatamu's size moving at Gatamu's speed. The net effect revolves around the pair sandwiching in mid air.

[Hoseki]

"Sounds pretty good. But meanwhile..." She looks at the various well-dressed people. "I feel a bit underdressed."

Gatamu, still hovering in mid-air, attempts to devour the monkey.

[McBish]

Lillah smiles. Thank you everyone.

Molph goes over and lets everyone else get to Lillah first.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames smiles and goes to the bar, where he orders a pair of hot chocolates.

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati stare at the monkey and Tirre tuts.
See? What did I say? A fight everytime more than 5 people get in here.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles and leads Alena across to Kyrian and Lillah "Hello Kyrian, Lillah. Congratulations." he grins at them

[Xerillum]

Salty strides in, and drinks some beer. He sighs, and fiddles with a barometer.

[wxdruid]

Gwen smiles as she looks around, How about we go over there to wait til the crowd around Kyrian and Lillah dies down. She gestures over to a table along the wall.

[Ceika]

*Ceika finishes off the bottle and sets it aside, then starts in on the fresh bottle, still remaining quiet for the most part, trying to keep a low profile.*

[Kyrian]

Thank you Alex.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles, Congratulations

[Hoseki]

Hoseki looks over at her friend. "Ceika, is something wrong?"

[McBish]

Thank you both of you. I'm glad you could make it.

[wxdruid]

Thank you for inviting us, It was a very lovely ceremony.

[Xerillum]

Salty walks out.

[Alex Shipmaster]

"I've got something to give to you both..." Alex rummages around in the pockets of his suit and eventually produces a rather grubby letter "Here you go" he hands the letter over to Kyrian

[Kyrian]

Glad you enjoyed it, Alena.

Kyrian takes the letter and looks at the envelope holding it.

[Ceika]

*She takes a long pull from the bottle before looking over at Hoseki. Her eyes are somewhat bloodshot from the drinks, but she shakes her head.* Nah... s'arright.

[darnin]

Darnin looks around at all the people, clearly not too happy about the tavern being filled with people that he's mostly never met.

[McBish]

Lillah smiles at everyone leaning up against Kyrian.

[Sophistemon]

Gent rushes in, having run from the wedding site. "Sorry I'm late," he says. "I got caught up in something. Very, very sorry."

[Hoseki]

Hoseki remembers something, and grows serious. "Please. If there's anything- anything- bothering you, tell me."

[Alex Shipmaster]

The envelope simply reads To Kyrian & Lillah

[Chaotic Bob]

The more the merrier.
'Cept in fights, then it just gets uglier.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian looks back up at Alex, blinking back tears.

Thank you...

[McBish]

Ok, your going to have to read that for me. She smiles at Kyrian.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles "No problem Ky"

[Kyrian]

Kyrian kisses Lillah and opens the letter up. He begins to read it.

[Sophistemon]

Gent looks around for Lillah and Kyrian and, upon seeing them, walks over.

"Hi there," he says. "Congratulations. Sorry I'm late."

[wxdruid]

Gwen and Hawk sit at a table out of the way, waiting for the crowd around Kyrian and Lillah to thin out before heading over.

[Ceika]

*Ceika half smiles at Hoseki and almost looks as though she's going to answer, but instead, stands suddenly and climbs up onto the tabletop, bottle in hand. She draws a dagger and starts clinking it against the glass to get the tavern patrons' attention.*

[McBish]

That is fine Gent. Glad you could make it.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles over at Alex and then back at Kyrian and Lillah.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk sits next to Gwen, looking at everyone.

[Alex Shipmaster]

The letter reads


Dear Kyrian and Lillah

Congratualaions on your wedding, we would dearly like to be there on this joyous day but due to unfortunate circumstances we can not. We hope all the best for you two, and may you have a happy future together.

Hawkeye & Wukei

[Sophistemon]

Gent grins. "Well, I've got a gift for the two of you that I think you'll like. It's a little late now, though, but I'm sure that they'll still work."

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin hears the clinking and looks at Ceika.

[Hoseki]

Hoseki bites her lip, wondering what it is Ceika is planning to say.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian reads the letter to Lillah, and looks up to see Ceika.

This won't be good...

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames also hears the clinking and turns to look.

[Admiral One]

Erdan appears behind the bar. He looks around the tavern with a confused look on his face, but gives Cosmo a hand with the drinks.

[Sophistemon]

Gent turns around to see what's going on.

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati face Ceika, looking curious.

[McBish]

Lillah smiles at the note. I'm glad they are thinking about us. And of course Gent, I'd love to get your gift. She then turns to listen to Cekia.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

El Jaspero and Alarra finally look up, having finished feeding and changing Agneta. She gives him a nudge and looks significantly in Kyrian's direction.

"Oh, right. Yes." He pulls a velvet-wrapped box out of his pocket and heads over to Lillah and Kyrian. "Congratulations, you two," he says with a grin as he hands them the box. "Just a little something from the two of us."

He turns to listen to Ceika with a raised eyebrow.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles at the Kyrian and Lillah, he puts his arm around Alena and listens to what Ceika is going to say

[darnin]

Darnin sits there, torn between wanting to go find a quiet place and not wanting to get up. Eventually he orders a drink.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk sighs, "This place is going to be crazy after everyone has a couple drinks."

[wxdruid]

I plan to be gone before then

[Ceika]

*Ceika's words are somewhat slurred, but she speaks loudly enough for everyone in the tavern to hear.*

Attention! Attention! I propose a toast!

*She raises the bottle of rum before her, gesturing for the others to raise their glasses as well. She takes a deep breath and stares at Kyrian as she starts her toast.*

This is a memorable day… one that you should never forget. And who would I be to stand aside and let things happen when I’ve words to say? So here goes: A toast, to health… may it be lasting. A toast to friendships… may you know them when you have them, and strive to keep them once you do. A toast to love… may it endure for each other through all the time and trials you face. A toast to happiness… may it find you wherever you go.

*Having said her piece, she falls silent, her glass raised to the new couple, then drinks from her bottle. She remains standing on the table.*

[Sophistemon]

Gent claps. "Hear hear," he says.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames raises his recently acquired hot chocolate mug and sips from it.

[AmberVael]

Earin looks at Ceika uneasily, not entirely sure what to think.

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati hop the bar and begins pulling out bottles and glasses. They fill up the glasses and begin to group and label them.
Drinks?
Anyone at all?
The dvati decide to go to the various tables and collect requests.

[Hoseki]

Hoseki, pleasantly surprised, raises her glass (which wasn't there a second ago) and drinks.

[darnin]

Darnin looks at Ceika, shrugs, and takes a drink.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin takes her hot chocolate from Iames and mimics his actions.

[Nevrmore]

"I'm with you." Hawk nods to Gwen.

Across the bar....

"WHOOOO! EVERYONSH GETTIN DRUNKSH!!!" Floyd shouts, waving a half-empty mug of beer around like a sword. He walks over to the happy couple. "I jusht wantsh to shay that you guysh are shoooo lucky to have each othersh....I wish I knewsh love like yoush guysh..." Floyd says and begins to cry. At one point he realized that he was talking to two chairs next to his table. He goes and finds Kyrian and Lillah and gives them the same speech.

[McBish]

Lillah smiles and raises her glass. Thank you.

Molph also raises a glass which he stole from some NPC without them noticing.

[wxdruid]

To Hawk, I'm going over now, did you want to come with me or stay here?

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

El J applauds Ceika's toast, but heads across the room to offer her a hand down. "Well done, lass. But perhaps you'd best get off that table before your Balance checks get any harder."

[Nevrmore]

Hawk looks at Floyd with disdain, "I think I'll come with you." He says, standing up from the table.

[Ceika]

*Ceika watches the patrons raise their glasses and smiles, then takes a step backward and promptly falls off the table, landing flat on her back, but managing not to spill her rum.*

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati change their mind and decide to just walk around a refill everyones glasses, periodically, or whenever they get half empty.

[Blood]

((I think the thread is supposed to be Trog's Tavern CXL, not CXXXX. Oh well.))

*El Jaspero's/Alarra's gift also contains Blood's ((PM'ed))*

[AmberVael]

Elya suddenly freezes as she turns to Earin and whispers in his ear. He frowns, then winces.
"Oh my... thats awkward."

[Kyrian]

Thank you, Dad. And Ceika, for the speech.

Kyrian raises his glass.

[wxdruid]

Gwen stands and leads the way over to Kyrian and Lillah.

She hugs both of them, Congratulations.

[Hoseki]

Hoseki laughs and holds out a hand to help Ceika up.

[Sophistemon]

Gent turns back to Lillah and Kyrian. "Wasn't that nice? Now, though, it's time for gifts." Gent hands Lillah a small mahagonny box, shut with a tiny golden clasp.

[Rebonack]

The monkey, in a bizarre fit of not wanting to ruin the mood, is eaten without giving any trouble.

[McBish]

Lillah runs her hand over the box and opens it up.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian hugs Gwen in return.

And thank you. You did a wonderful job.

[Admiral One]

Erdan decides to pour drinks in the "two for you, one for me" style.

[Hoseki]

Gatamu laughs triumphantly and lands, squooshing an NPC accidentally.
