Dancing Fox Inn XLVII: Your Daily Recomended Dose of Phlebotinum!

[FireFox]

Sept, she's acting like every other damn one she knows I hate! Tobias is starting to get annoyed as he watches Rachel leave. She's playing games with us.

[Recaiden]

She stands, and starts to walk out.
She's stoppable, however.
Rachel. Leaving isn't always the answer. He isn't Chas, you know?

[Beans]

Not to be pushing you into it, but... maybe someday, right?

[Mee]

Sept, she's acting like every other damn one she knows I hate! Tobias is starting to get annoyed as he watches Rachel leave. She's playing games with us.

"See? Won't shut up.
And no, Tobias. I'm not.
I was trying to see if I liked her or not.
Congratulations, she passed. Have fun."
Aaaaand now she's gone.

And at Riki: She sighs.
"I know. It's this or utter confusion on the part of everyone else.
I'll be outside."
And now she's gone.

[SeptAngel]

Every other what? She's just a child. She frowns as the little girl leaves.

[FireFox]

Tobias leans in and whispers into Sept's ear. She is a Goddess. She used to be my favorite one just because she didn't try to toy with mortals or make us all play her game. But now she's getting upset because I won't dance to her tune.

[Recaiden]

Riki sighs and turns to Toby.
Yeah. Keep it to yourselves, okay? She's really not as bad as she sometimes seems.

[Quinsar]

O-of course love...
Of course...

[SeptAngel]

Oh... She nods, starting to understand. I haven't seen one in a while.

[FireFox]

Tobias turns and scowls at Riki. Considering I have known her longer than you have, and all that I have done for her, I think I am a far better judge of her than you. Whoever the hell you may be,

[Beans]

Yeah...
We'll worry about that later, of course. She backs off from the matter, noticing his slight stuttery-thingy.

[Quinsar]

If you really want to...
I'll...

[SeptAngel]

She tries to give Tobias a light squeeze on his hand.

[Beans]

Only if you want to. I'm not going to rush you.
I'll be deadtiming soon, but I may be back in a bit.

[Recaiden]

You might; I really don't know of your history. I'll grant she stays far too aloof.
She shrugs.
Riki Li'Anodel, by the way. You?
What I meant was that it's a secret here. Nothing was meant against your friend.

[Quinsar]

Yeah.
Okay...
Thanks...

[FireFox]

Tobias Vulpan, King of a little country that was founded on certain ideals of Freedom and Hope. He watches her reaction to that, then turns to Sept. All right, all right... What do you want to do?

[Recaiden]

Riki cringes. Okay, I can see your problem. Freedom and hope are 2 of the best things you could start with though.
She thinks back to a friend who tried something similar, decides not to mention it.
Nice to meet you.
She waves towards Liache and Solomon.

[SeptAngel]

Sept smiles proudly as he talks about his country...well her country now too. That hasn't quite clicked with her yet. We could take a walk. She offers.

[Beans]

She smiles and kisses him on the cheek.
((Deadtime, back soonish-ish-ish.))

[Mee]

Well, there's still the not-half-elf in the corner.
Whose wrench slips, by the way, and goes flying across the inn, probably in the direction of Sept/Toby/whoever else is over there.

[FireFox]

Well Riki, you should look around here for a chapel to some Goddess named Civiron. She apparently has the domain of hope. Tobias shrugs. I hear the chapel was built by some dude who is incredibly awesome. Then he smiles at Sept and leads her into the Streets.

[Bergett]

And Jaya is fully asleep on the bar.
Not drunk, just asleep.

[SeptAngel]

She starts to head that way but gets hit in the back with the wrench. Ow!

[Mee]

She starts to head that way but gets hit in the back with the wrench. Ow!

Sorry!
Should come a voice in her head.
It slipped.
Are you okay?

The voice seems to be coming from the corner the wrench came from, though it's hard to tell with telepathy.

[Recaiden]

I know. I haven't seen any temples to her before. And you seem like a pretty awesome guy, no need to hide it like that.
She glances at Jaya, is confused, and sits at the bar.

[SeptAngel]

I'm fine. She responds before being dragged out by Toby.

[Recaiden]

Cle comes down the stairs, looking thoughtfully at her flute.

[Mee]

I'm fine. She responds before being dragged out by Toby.

Kwen sighs mentally, and goes ahead and deadtimes.

As there's not anyone else to RP with.

Well, there are a few, but I see no way to.

As Rachel is off somewhere, being upset, Kwen . . . nobody talks to anymore, and nobody talks to Luminar. Period.

So, deadtime.
Off to play random computer games, be back later.

[Recaiden]

Riki sighs again, and heads out to look for Rachel, thus deadtiming.

Cle takes a seat and starts whistling, stopping each tune after just a few notes and trying a new one.

[Mee]

Riki sighs again, and heads out to look for Rachel, thus deadtiming.

Cle takes a seat and starts whistling, stopping each tune after just a few notes and trying a new one.

Eh, she's on a roof somewhere, contemplating if she should stay, and probably crying.

And somewhere where she won't be found.


But, yeah. Deadtime now.
Later.

[Recaiden]

Eh, she's on a roof somewhere, contemplating if she should stay, and probably crying.

And somewhere where she won't be found.


But, yeah. Deadtime now.
Later.

If she actually traveled there, she can be found. Of course, why would she?

And Cle settles into deadtime. Back later, I think.

[Mee]

If she actually traveled there, she can be found. Of course, why would she?

And Cle settles into deadtime. Back later, I think.

Well, she teleported. So, she didn't really actually travel there.
She just appeared there.
And because one of her oldest friends was yelling at her for what she felt absolutely nothing?
It just . . . really hurt her.
That's all.

But now I go.

[Beans]

I backs.
Liache smiles.
What was your favorite part of our little getaway?

[Quinsar]

I liked it when we got couple of the convention.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Silva undeadtimes at the bar.

Zaydon undeadtimes at a table.

[Beans]

Yeah, that was great...
I liked the giant fireball you cast that one time too.

[Quinsar]

Yeah that was cool.
Hey, wanna play a game?

[Beans]

Sure, what is it?

[Quinsar]

I run through the door, then you try to find me.

[Beans]

Er, okay then. She smiles and shrugs.

[Quinsar]

He runs into the streets, and to the dock!

[Beans]

She runs out after him.

[Moofin Bard]

Nadia the vampire girl comes down the stairs.
Again, she looks neither rich nor poor.
And she's pretty.

[Bergett]

Jaya the drow is asleep head cradled in her arms at the bar.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Zaydon gives her a little wave. He gives everybody waves.

Do you want a description of him?

[Recaiden]

I meant why would she actually travel as opposed to just appearing there. Sorry Mee.
Unable to find any trail, Riki the elf wanders back inside, waves to Zaydon, gives Jaya another odd look, and grins toward Nadia.

[Moofin Bard]

No I got it from your signature.

Nadia shyly waves and smiles back.
Hi.

Nadia. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5339363&postcount=15)

[Bergett]

Jaya snores a bit.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Zaydon smiles and waves at Riki, then turns back to Nadia. Hi. I'm Zaydon. What's your name?

[Recaiden]

Riki walks over to Nadia and Zaydon. Hello. I'm Riki, and like I was trying to say, it's interesting that you've managed to stay a vampire.

[Moofin Bard]

I'm Nadia. She doesn't mention her last name, in case they know something about vampire royalty. She turns to Riki. Stay a vampire...?

[Recaiden]

Exactly. I literally cannot list how many of we ex-vampires are around the town. I commend you on your continued existence.
She sweeps a hand along and bows.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Well, she's safe with Zaydon on that account.

Nice to meet you. He doesn't seem at all bothered that she's a vampire.

Now, anybody with telepathic abilities will here some voices who seem to have a slightly different opinion about vampires.

Vampire? Don't they, you know, suck blood and stuff?

Eram, be nice.

What, I'm just saying.

[Moofin Bard]

Nice to meet you too... They might notice she's really shy. You're an ex vampire? How does one become an ex vampire?

[Recaiden]

Well, you die. Then you become a vampire through one way or another. Then you die again. In my case, in a huge explosion. And then you are returned to life.
Riki shrugs.
Or perhaps you have life bound into you or something. There are many ways it can happen.
Good to meet you Nadia.

[Chas the mage]

Chas undeadtimes at the bar.

Richard enters. he is wearing a tailcoat and tophat, and has a faint smell of incense about him.

[KerfuffleMach2]

So, what brings you around here?

[Moofin Bard]

Nadia is glad about the distraction from vampirism.
She's careful about what she says about home.
Politics in my homeland got a little too messy.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Ah. Sounds like a good enough reason to me. Well, welcome to Town then! He gives a big grin.

[Recaiden]

Oh. At least you made it out.
Riki dislikes the new subject immensely.
Where is it that you're from?

[Moofin Bard]

Ooooh she was afraid that subject might come up.
She lies but her bluff modifier is +8 and she rolls an 18.
Netri. It's far away. The farther away I am from my country, the better.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Zaydon chuckles a little. I know that feeling.

[Chas the mage]

A mob of people run past the window. Richard notices them and sighs.

[Recaiden]

Such a shame that it's got problems. It's a very nice name.
Nadia is believed.
Yes, welcome to Town. Wonderful to have you.

[Moofin Bard]

Nadia smiles shyly again and tucks some hair behind her ear.
Thank you. It's nice to be welcomed by such nice people.

---

Mica noisily bursts in to the DFI with her sniper rifle over her shoulder.
Mica 11, BPLA 0.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Zaydon looks over at Mica. I hope you're talking about a score from a football game or something.

[Recaiden]

Riki smiles back at her.
No, Zaydon, kills.
((deadtime.))

[Chas the mage]

Busting heads, eh?
Richard says, with a smirk. he seems pleased.

[Moofin Bard]

Mica sits by Richard.
And that's just today.

---

Nadia waves goodbye to Riki.
She turns to Zaydon.
So what brings you to town?

[Bergett]

Jaya is startled awake by Mica's entrance.
Whatza?
Huh...?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Zaydon shakes his head at Richard and Mica. He looks back at Nadia.

Random traveling. Been here a while. It's a good place.

[Chas the mage]

I hope that should encourage them to leave...

several gunshots ring out from outside, in the direction of richards fort.

dammit

[Moofin Bard]

Nadia smiles shyly again.
That's good. A lot of places don't allow my kind. They're all afraid of vampires.

---

Mica groans and picks up her sniper rifle.
I think my break's over.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Yeah. I mean, there are quite a few nasty vampires out there. But, I don't judge people by what they are. Just who they are.

*cough*Zaydon, you're involved with somebody*cough*

[Chas the mage]

Richard gets up and walks out to the fort.

[Moofin Bard]

Mica follows him to the fort, grumbling.
But hey, it's a war? What do you expect?

---

Nadia sits down at the nearest table.
Oh a lot of the vampires where I come from are bad, so I don't blame anyone for that kind of prejudice.

He hasn't done anything...yet.

[KerfuffleMach2]

((No, not yet. But some of the spirits like to keep reminding him, just in case.))

Well, most of the people here won't hold it against you. Some might be a little reluctant to hang with you. But, they'll come around.

So, what do you do?

[Moofin Bard]

No way in Hell is she going to tell him she's a princess.
So she's going to tell him the exact story she came up with for this.
I'm a dancer. I've studied dance most of my life.

[KerfuffleMach2]

A dancer? That's cool. What kinds of dance?

A few of the spirits give a collective groan.

[Moofin Bard]

Don't worry spirits. It's nothing bad.
Mostly ballet. I put a little bit of my own spin on it sometimes too.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Cool. There's a theater in town here. Maybe you could see about performing there sometime.

[Recaiden]

Riki comes back, but remains quiet, not knowing what ballet is.

[Moofin Bard]

Nadia blushes.
Oh I don't know. I mean, I will have to make my own money. Maybe someday soon I'll check it out.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Zaydon nods a little.

So, you staying here at the Inn then?

[Moofin Bard]

Nadia nods.
I guess so. I don't really have anywhere else to stay.

[Recaiden]

Well, I have a room in that creepy adamant tower outside that's not being used, if you'd like.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Well, this place is good. The rooms are nice.

And the spirits are happy he didn't offer her to stay at his place. He has a girlfriend ;living with him, after all. And it's likely she wouldn't be all that thrilled about it.

[Moofin Bard]

Hmmm...warm Inn with nice people? Or creepy old room in a creepy old tower? Thanks but I'll just stay here...

He could. She could just say she's a lesbian if it bothers his girlfriend.

[Recaiden]

Exactly. I only stay there because I'm uncomfortable with normal bedrooms.
She shrugs, still smiling.

Zaydon has a girlfriend?:smallconfused:

[KerfuffleMach2]

That...still might not sit well with her. And she's a phoenix, so angering her is not a good idea.

Zaydon chuckles. Yeah. Think you made the right decision there.

[Moofin Bard]

Oh well.
Nadia shrugs.
Well it's been a long journey so I'm just going to go to bed. Night Zayden. Night Riki.
Notice how his name was first...
She goes up to her room and deadtimes.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Night. Zaydon smiles a little.

Then deadtimes.

[Recaiden]

Goodnight. Riki says sadly, and deadtimes.

[Quinsar]

Areisha walks in. She's wearing her usual bright red dress. Tucked under her arm is her gem case, and her journal.

[Chas the mage]

Chas walks in.

[Quinsar]

Areisha has seated herself in the corner, and has started writing.

[Chas the mage]

Chas walks to the bar and orders some vodka.

[Moofin Bard]

Alice is sitting at a table.
She looks sad.
But she's in her recognizable pink dress and orange hair.

[Recaiden]

Riki walks up to Alice,because that's the kind of crazy thing she would do. Something wrong?
She sounds pretty cheerful. Not because Alice looks sad, but in general.

[Beans]

Renata (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6727448&postcount=188) is there too, looking high-strung and easily startled.

[Moofin Bard]

Riki might of noticed when they were upstairs together that there's a lot of painful looking scarring where Alice's wings meet her back.
She shakes her head a little.
Nothing you can really help with.

[Recaiden]

You sure? I can do more than people tend to expect.
She smiles at Alice, a questioning expression on her face.

[Moofin Bard]

It's my wing joints...they hurt like crazy. And no matter how hard I try, they just wont heal.
That's only part of her problem.

[Prince_Selm]

Psudo is here making a large effort to avoid eye contact with Renata.

Don't say anything stupid!!!

[Recaiden]

I'm sorry. Riki frowns, and tries to cast a healing spell on Alice.
You seem like it would take more than that to get you down though.

[Moofin Bard]

The healing will work for the time being.
She avoids the question that Riki is posing.
I really am sorry for using my lust spells on you. Then for being so mean to you and Solomon.

[Recaiden]

Apologize to Liache then. You're lucky she was so forgiving anyway.
She does smile at Alice, cheered by the apology.

[Moofin Bard]

I will if she ever unravels herself from Solomon long enough.
She still looks down...but it's probably nothing.

[Beans]

Renata looks around from Riki to Alice to Psudo and back again.

[Recaiden]

Riki waves to Renata.
What else? That's over with now.

[Prince_Selm]

So...yeah...sorry.

He says to Renata while still looking off into the distance, randomly changing angles.

It probably looks humorous to Alice.

[Moofin Bard]

Alice raises an eyebrow at him before deadtiming.

[Recaiden]

Riki spins away towards Psudo. So Nym, you were going to tell us what you were before you passed out, right?

[Prince_Selm]

What? I was? Are you sure?
(Short dinner-related deadtime.)

[Moofin Bard]

NEVERMIND SHE UNDEADTIMES CAUSE RECCY IS BACK.
Alice blinks.
I don't want to do this anymore.

[Recaiden]

Quite sure, Nym.
She returns to Alice's table.
Enchant people? Be a priestess? Live? Whatever it is, you don't have to. Though I prefer you stay alive.

[Moofin Bard]

I don't wanna be a cleric of lust anymore. It was fun at first...but now it's not fun anymore.

[Beans]

So...yeah...sorry.

He says to Renata while still looking off into the distance, randomly changing angles.

It probably looks humorous to Alice.
What for?
She blinks.

[Recaiden]

Then you don't have to be. There are plenty of other gods and causes if you need one.
But what made it change?

[Moofin Bard]

I just...want to be with someone out of love, instead of lust.

[Recaiden]

Try then. You'll find someone.
Riki tries to give her a half-hug.
It won't happen right away, you know. It's the person that's important.
Or is the problem that there's no one you think you could love?

[Moofin Bard]

I don't want to get hurt again.

[Recaiden]

Riki frowns, pitying.
That's not something you can avoid Alice. Even if the very first person you pin your feelings on turns out to be your true love, life isn't perfect. Being hurt is part of having feelings, of caring about people. But it's worth it.
Try not to be afraid.

[Moofin Bard]

Alice buries her head in her arms.
Okay...and thank you.

[Recaiden]

Riki goes to actually hug Alice.
It's okay Alice. Life isn't easy, but you can do it. You'll get what you want.
You have so much good about you, things shouldn't be nearly as hard for you as they could be.

[Moofin Bard]

Alice is...hugged. She hugs Riki back and deadtimes.

[Prince_Selm]

(Sorry, detained by mother.)

You know... the other day... where I apparently promised information that I don't wish to divulge...

Which I guess I will, but only when you're completely out of the realm of the dead.
The last part is aimed at Riki.

[Beans]

(Sorry, detained by mother.)

You know... the other day... where I apparently promised information that I don't wish to divulge...

Which I guess I will, but only when you're completely out of the realm of the dead.
The last part is aimed at Riki.
Renata blinks in confusion.

[Prince_Selm]

He doesn't notice due to his lack of eye-contact, but he hears the silence.

That actually happened, right?

I am somewhat delusional.

[Quinsar]

Von Vetz bursts through the door, humming.

[Beans]

I don't remember it.

[Prince_Selm]

Huh... Maybe it was a delusion after all...

...but how would that other person know about it?

Maybe they read my mind...

... Or maybe you're the delusional one!
He says with a smile, finally looking up.

[Beans]

Maybe you're just a hallucination.
If I cease to believe in you, will you go away? She smiles a little.

[Prince_Selm]

Let's find out.
He slowly fades from view.

[Beans]

Wait, what?!
Goddammit, maybe I am crazy.

[Prince_Selm]

Nope, still exist.

You must still think I'm here or something.
A voice says.

[Beans]

Gah! You're like the Cheshire Cat! But less furry.

[Prince_Selm]

Thanks.

I think...

I can't just smile and show up though.

[Recaiden]

No, I didn't read your mind.
Riki smiles at Psudo. I tried, but it didn't work. And what do you mean about the realm of the dead? I'm alive now, if you haven't noticed.

[Quinsar]

Solomon walks in.

[Prince_Selm]

I thought we decided that it was all a delusion and none of it happened.
He says, still a voice.

[Recaiden]

Most of it happened, at least. I'd still like to know.

[Prince_Selm]

Alright, fine.

It's where I grew up.
He says ignoring Solomon. Maybe because it's unknown if he can see without a body. More likely because he wants to get the "explaining" part over.

[Recaiden]

Oh. Well that's nothing to be concerned over.
Riki waves to Solomon, finally noticing him.

[Quinsar]

Solomon waves to Riki, waiting for Beans to return.

[Prince_Selm]

Well, then there's the issue of my father...

He's why most people freak out.

[Recaiden]

Nym, I feel pretty safe saying there is nothing other than myself that could freak me out anymore.
Who is he?

[Prince_Selm]

Well...

I take it everyone here can keep a secret?
Everyone in the room should hear.

[Recaiden]

I can, at least.

((Dinner-related deadtime. Bye.))

[Beans]

I can.

Liache comes in with Sol.

[Quinsar]

Sol smiles and leads Liache to a table, where he pulls out a chair for her.

[Beans]

She smiles as she sits.
Should we have a big, flashy ceremony, or make it quick and quiet so we can get on with the afterparty?

[Quinsar]

You know me...
I love flash.:smalltongue:

[Beans]

Quite so.
So, who do we invite?

[Quinsar]

I dunno..
Riki...
That one guy...
All our friends, I guess.

[Recaiden]

Riki smiles and waves at Liache as she comes in.

So what's the secret?

[Beans]

Alright.
Think we should invite Alice?

[Prince_Selm]

Fine. I'm not very good at this, but here's a good likeness.
The figure below slowly materializes.
http://public4.tektek.org/img/av/0908/d23/1848/43d3281.png (http://tektek.org/avatar/30414676)

Oh, sorry to ruin your big reveal.
It says to Solomon and Liache.

[Quinsar]

Sure.
He shrugs.

[Recaiden]

Oh. Going for a classic look, I see. Nice to know. Especially that he's still alive. It causes so much trouble when people in charge of death die.
Riki nods to Psudo and skitters away.
Thank you for trusting us with that.
Hello Liache, Solomon. What is it you were planning to reveal?

[Beans]

EDIT.
Er, well---Sol, should I tell or do you want to?

[Prince_Selm]

Um... already dead...
He says.

By the way, congradulations!
He says to Solomon and Liache, clearly having figured it out.

Here's my card.
He says putting one on the table.
Don't worry, I won't show up to gigs like this.

[Quinsar]

Uh...
You can.

[Beans]

Alright.
Well, as Mr. Psudonym has already figured out...
Dramatic paaaaaause... Hee hee.
Solomon and I are getting married.
YAY!

[Recaiden]

Riki is slightly surprised and embarrassed.
That's great! She grins at the two of them.
Congratulations! I can't think of nicer people for it to happen to.
Nicer than Liache, anyway.

[Quinsar]

Thank you Riki.
And you too Psudonym.

[Beans]

Renata looks up at Liache.
Whips out the photo of her mother.
Looking at it, she sees some resemblance.

She stands up and walks up to the daemon woman.
This may sound really weird, and probably kind of rude, but...
Are you my mother? She's totally serious.

Liache blinks in bewilderment.

[Quinsar]

Solomon raises an eyebrow at Renata.

[Beans]

Er... I think not... She looks at the photo of Renata's mother. There are similarities, but I am telling you all right now that they are just coincidental.
No, I'm sorry. Though I hope you find her.
Renata blushes in embarrassment, mumbles an apology, and backs off.

[Quinsar]

Wait...
Solomon says as she backs up.

[Beans]

The one-eyed, chrome-toothed girl looks up at him as she ceases backing up.

[Quinsar]

Where did you last see your mother?

[Recaiden]

So was that the wedding you were planning just then, Liache?

[Beans]

Indeed it was.

I-I...
Never. Nowhere.
All I have is this picture of her...

[Quinsar]

Oh...
I'm so sorry...

[Beans]

Yeah, it's... it's rough.
She stares at her boots.

[Quinsar]

Look...
If there's anything you need..
Just let one of us know, 'kay?

[Recaiden]

True. We'll help you out. And you'll find her someday, Renata.

[Beans]

She nods, then looks sorta at Sol and Li.
I don't think we've met before... I'm Renata. Heinz. She extends a shakeyhand for handyshakes.

[Quinsar]

I'm Solomon Misiati...
He shakes.

[Beans]

Shakey!
Liache shakes too.
I'm Liache---soon to be Liache Misiati.
Nice to meet you both. Renata gives an admirable attempt at a smile. Chrome teeth!

[Quinsar]

Solomon smiles right back.
I think I need a hair cut, dear.
just a trim.
His hair is a bit long, now.

[Beans]

Liache looks at him and nods.
But not too much.
She looks back, and Renata is gone.
Where'd that poor girl go off to?
DISNEYWORLD?

[Quinsar]

No idea.


I should be able to use Magick! to get my hair tgrimmed.

[Recaiden]

Isn't magick a bit unpredictable to use for haircuts?

[Beans]

Liache laughs softly.
Well, Magick had better hope it doesn't spoil your curls.

[Quinsar]

It won't.

And you're probably right, Riki, but...
I probably won't mess up a haircut.

[Beans]

Liache pulls something from pseudospace.
Ah, I was hoping this would arrive.
It is a book.


How to Make Your Wedding Snazztastic
By Thryza Wogal

[Quinsar]

Okay!
Magick! time.
He starts glowing with purple energy.

[Recaiden]

Riki leans to look at the book.
Is . . . that even close to being a word?

[Beans]

On the very first page, Liache reads...

Author's Note to all who deny that Snazztastic is a word: YES IT FRIGGIN' IS.
...
I THINK.
The woman who wrote this book seems to think so.

[Quinsar]

Magick!
Boom. Lightning cracks. For a second goes dark, and then, there is a large cloud of smoke resting around Sol.

[Beans]

...
Sol?
Are you alright?

[Quinsar]

Sol screams from behind the smoke. It's like a little girl's.

[Recaiden]

Solomon! Riki steps into the smoke.

[Beans]

Liache curses in Daemontongue and flaps her wingses, trying to blows the smokes aways.

[Quinsar]

She is sitting there, eyes wide in fear.

[Beans]

... Sol?
You, ah...
You lost your Y chromosome, dear.

[Recaiden]

Is that you Solomon? Riki smiles at the woman.

[Quinsar]

Solomon!?
What?
She whips a knife off of her belt.
She is semi undressed currently, despite her extremely revealing outfit.
Both of her shoes are undone, and her pants are undone and pulled down a bit.

[Beans]

So...
Not Solomon, then.
Ah. Liache just sighs, shaking her head.

[Recaiden]

Easy with that knife. Riki raises a hand.
Do you know where Solomon went, or where you came from? Are you by any chance a barber?

[Quinsar]

Who are you?
Where am I?!
Tell me at once!:smallmad:

[Beans]

My name is Liache.
This is the Dancing Fox Inn. She seems quite downcast.

[Recaiden]

Riki Li'Anodel, and Liache. You're in Town, capital T. You appeared when our friend tried to cut his hair and we're almost as confused as you.
Riki runs through this quickly, like she has to explain this a lot.
Now put down the knife, dear.

[Quinsar]

How do you know Solomon?:smallmad:
She lowers the knife a bit, and pulls her pants up.

[Beans]

He was once my master.
Now he is my fiancé.

[Recaiden]

He's a friend of mine, apparently. I was as surprised as you are.

((short being-kicked-off-the-computer-deadtime.))

[Quinsar]

Fiance?
You're his fiance?:smallmad:

[Beans]

Yes.
You have a problem with that, don't you?

[Chas the mage]

Chas is here. He has an electric guitar for unknown reasons.

[Quinsar]

Well...
Yes.
I do have a problem with it.

[Beans]

And why do you have a problem with it?
Liache is just the tiniest bit bitter-sounding.

[Quinsar]

Because the whore doesn't deserve happiness.

[Beans]

Ah. Well, that clears a lot up.
Care to elaborate? Is Solomon the "whore"?

[Quinsar]

Yes, I would say Solomon is a whore.

[Beans]

1. How so?
2. Who are you?

[Quinsar]

Well, he's slept with every woman in a ten mile radius of our home.

And I'm Sentra Misiati, Baroness of Feldrok

[Chas the mage]

Chas is watching the 2 of them bicker.

[Beans]

Hm. Well, he did say that prior to summoning me, he was quite good with the ladies. That explains much.

And... you share a last name; how are you related?

[Quinsar]

He's my brother.:smallannoyed:

[Beans]

I see.
I'll be sure to remind you exactly when that means you decide who does and does not deserve happiness.
Until then, assume that it doesn't. Her eyes are cold and endless as the Bleak Eternity.

[Quinsar]

Sentra stares back, eyes equally as hateful.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Silva undeadtimes at the bar.

Zaydon undeadtimes at a table.

[Chas the mage]

Chas is at the bar, sipping vodka. he watches the two bicker, his hand in his pocket.

[Beans]

Let me tell you something about how my species breeds, just to make a little point.
First, the males snatch us up, wing us off to somewhere quiet-ish, fertilize us with no more emotion than if they were filing tax returns, and put us back where we were.
Not long after that, the same males bring us a human. Terrified and squirming, tied down and screaming.
And then we inject them with our eggs. She makes her stinger visible.
Nine weeks later, our babies have eaten their way out. They will never know their true parents.
Now, my point in all of this is... Would you begrudge your brother being wed to one of a species so... unsavory?

[Quinsar]

Hmm...
She growls.
Fine. Just get me the hell out of here.




Areisha is at the bar, working on a gem.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Silva gives a short wave to Chas.

[Beans]

Wonderful.
Now, let's see... his Magick brought you here, probably making you switch places in spacetime...
Let's see if I can be rid of you that way.
She attempts to replicate the spell Solomon used buggered up.

[Chas the mage]

chas takes his hand out of his pocket and waves back. There is definetly somthing in his pocket.

[Quinsar]

Smoke poofs around Sentra.

[Beans]

Liache sighs.
Let's see if that worked, then.
She again flaps her wings to disperse le smoke.

[Quinsar]

It the same girl there.
Liache!:smallbiggrin:
it sounds feminine, but not like Sentra.

[Beans]

Uh...
Solomon?
Is it you this time?

[Quinsar]

S/he nods happily and tries to hug her.

[Beans]

Hug'd!
Er... Sol, dear... you do know that you've been... turned female, right?

[Quinsar]

Wait, what?!:smalleek:
He looks himself, and his revealing uniform over.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Silva notices. What ya got in your pocket?

[Chas the mage]

He pulls out a town police badge. It appears old and slightly worn.
A few minutes ago it looked like those two where going to start beating eachother up...

[Beans]

Don't worry, it's going to be alright---just because you've misplaced your Y chromosome doesn't change the fact that I love you.
She is too relieved to have him back to bother with gender.

[KerfuffleMach2]

You're a cop? Since when?

[Chas the mage]

About a month and a half before the whole Dr. Evil escapade I became a cop...

[KerfuffleMach2]

Huh. So, you like being a cop then?

[Chas the mage]

He shrugs.
I get to keep people from randomly beating eachother up while I'm trying to enjoy my drink...

[Quinsar]

I'm my sister...
But lucky to be here.
They were gonna kill me!

[KerfuffleMach2]

She chuckles a little. I guess that's one way of looking at it.

[Beans]

I'm my sister...
But lucky to be here.
They were gonna kill me!
Er---wait---
You're... your sister? You mean you're in her body?

[Chas the mage]

It also prevents me from partying too hard...

[KerfuffleMach2]

Well, you know what they say. There's a downside to everything.
