[Nexus]The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Welcome to the Dancing Fox Inn! Come and try our one of a kind beverages and food, chat with friends, or grab a private room and relax. All are welcome to the Dancing Fox Inn.
We would like to ask, please, no smoking in the establishment unless you are on fire. We understand that there are often exceptions. Thank you for understanding. Be sure to enjoy your stay.
If your characters are upstairs, please use this thread to avoid confusing the other occupants
Description:
Spoiler
Show
The inn is . . . indescribable. Size wise, anyway. It has as many tables as needed, and as many chairs as needed. So that needn't be said as well.
The floors are rough hewn logs. In fact the whole inn is made of wood, with a solid foundation of stones. There is a downstairs common room of tables and private booths, and an upstairs with bedrooms. There is a bar, behind the bar is a kitchen. The tables and seats are made of wood. The private booths are also made of wood but the seats are cushioned by dirty and torn pillows. There is also a basement that acts as storage for the drinks and food (and a secret meeting place). Access to the basement is through the kitchen.
Renn usually keeps a heavy crossbow already cocked and loaded under the bar. He also has a sleeping power next to it that he sometimes uses on the crossbow bolts or sprinkles into a rowdy drunks drink.
The inn as a whole can be described as a little dirty and run down, but at the same time its homey.
Current Staff:
Renn and Naku - Barkeeps and Managers
Fade - Barboy
- Barmaid
Fear and Sorrow - Working off a Debt?
Colin Aldaro - Waiter
Strahd - Cook
Songdancer - Bard
(If the person with the job, such as the barboy, if that person does not come around for a month (Or so), they lose the job. Not to be mean, but to clear up the space, so that someone else who might want it can have it.)
NOW HIRING: Barmaid
If you're none of these but think you can help, ask about a job, ask Renn, or Naku, IC.
((Also if you have a Banner idea, please, PM it to Lerky, or Mee))

We Dream of a Town
Side note: The DFI is not in any way, shape, or form, inside Inside. It's just a quiet little place off somewhere, that would like to stay free from apoco-plawts, various inter-warring factions, and all that jazz.
Everyone is equally welcome here, just please leave it at the door.
And above all, please keep it civil.

He takes out a button and presses it.

They should be warped to Equestria!

Many threads do it on page 49 since page 50+ starts causing problems for the server.
Oh, and Songdancer leaves a fine mist behind.

Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Grinning, Strahd holds out the note for Ashtrek to see.
Er, by the looks of it, Strahd's the new boss while Naku's away.
That's... Probably not good.:smalleek:

Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
A tall blond elf man enters, wearing layered coats over a beat up t-shirt, with the name of some band on it. His deep blue jeans and tennis shoes equally beat up, and he looks vaguely depressed as he makes eye contact with the floor in front of him, slowly making his way to the bar.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
The tall elf will see the barboy, now standing behind the bar and nipping on his own Nuke Cola. His face nearly full covered under his hoo it looks strange when he drinks. On the other hand a full hooded guy who wears jeans and T-Shirt isn't that normal as well.

"What can I do for you?" Fade asks without any emotions in his voice.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
he plops down at the bar. "I'm feeling a dry vodka and tonic," he says, staring at the surface of the bar in front of him vacantly. "Lookin' to get messed up," he states, depressedly. He tilts his head up towards the bartender, with it sort of propped upon his shoulder; his pupils all big and a blank look.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Fade goes checking the list from drinks and founds sever things which make it complicated.
"That means you want Vodka and a Tonic water? We also serve Vodka Tonic."
Yeah Fade isn't someone you should talk in riddles.^^
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
This confused him greatly, more than one would expect with a normal person. "the tonic water, lotta vodka?" he says, slurring and making hand motions of pouring, "Inna glass?"
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Well if that is what he wants Fade will go do so. He will fill one glass with Tonic Water, another with the Vodka and then pour both together in a bigger glass. He gives the drink to the man.
"Here you go."
The prize for this drink will be 1 Glass of Tonic Water and 1 of Vodka. So more expensive then a Vodka Tonic would cost.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"'here we go" he says, and he downs the drink rather fast. "good shtuff," he says a few seconds afterward. He begins to get twitchy, looking around, drumming his fingers. "So, whereya from? whaddya do? whatsyur story?" He says rather quickly.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Fade got's confused, even if he doesn't show it.
"Aren't the visitors of an Inn supposed to answer these questions and not someone working in it?"
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"Maybe?" He says, returning to his mellow state, deep in though. "that's a good question," he states, and pauses. "are you gonna ask me?"
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Fade nods.
"You know the questions. I wait for answers now."
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"I'm Chas," He says. He thinks for a few moments, before getting an angry expression on his face and turning around. He turns back and says "its to damn loud in here..." even if its completely silent. he shakes his head and resumes his train of thought. "I'm many things, for a while I was a bard and an adventurer, I avenged my parents... then I bummed around a bit before starting a band and I ended up getting into some drinking and drugging problems there. Neighbors didn't like all my partying, cops came, saw things..." He immediately checks over his shoulders for cops. "After I got outta prison I traveled some more, doing some mercenary work in some decaying empire, and then one it all went to hell in a handbag there I came back here. I tried to get a normal life with a job and a girlfriend but that didn't work at all and now I'm in a studio apartment in some ghetto part 'a town and I'm 'tweakin again..." he seems vaguely depressed after mentioning it all.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Fade doesn't really show much intresst, but he tkes a look around in the currently silent bar when he mentioned it was to loud. Strange guy.
"The pony thing here is also a bard, maybe you could talk to him when he is back about bard stuff."
Fade isn't stupid or has a bad attention span. He just don#t know what drugged is and after all he isn't a guy who understands feelings. maybe it's because he himself has near no emotions.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"Pony thing?" he says, confused, raising an eyebrow.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"I looks like a little horse with something stuck in his head. Think he called himself SongDancer."
Fade doesn't make any gesticulation. It's just good that he isn't here.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"that's..." hes not quite sure how to respond, "uhh... wow." he has the most confused look upon his face, and shakes his head. He runs his hands through his greasy blonde hair, and closes his eyes for a few moments.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Fade just watches the man. He isn't sure what his problem is and neither is sure if this guy deals with it. After all he decides to not doing anything, means you can't do anything wrong.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"So," he says, his eyes still closed, "are pony people the norm around here or what?" even though his eyes are closed, he has a rather odd facial expression of confusion.
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"Not that I can say it. He was the only one I saw since now, but the nexus seems to have a wide range of races walking around here."
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
"I see... I came here a long time ago. didn't see too many odd races back then," he says, thinking about it.

Ooh, death glare from Strahd.
It's hard to write defiantly, but he manages pretty well all told, even if the wittiness of his retort is somewhat diminished by how long it takes to jot down the words.
Quote:
"Ahem. I've been working here since before Naku took over, longer than anyone except Colin, and he's never around. I also know more than anyone here about how to run a restaurant, being the only one with any real prior work experience. Naku left me in charge because I'm the most qualified one here."
Strahd thinks for a second, before adding onto the last line.
Quote:
"Incidently, how good are you at digging?"

"Digging?" She asks puzzledly...
-
Re: The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes
Strahd nods. Yes, digging. He really doesn't see where the confusions coming from, it's a simple enough question.
