((Banner by Celtois))

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

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

If your characters are upstairs, please use this thread to avoid confusing the other occupants

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

The inn is . . . indescribable. Size wise, anyway. It has as many tables as needed, and as many chairs as needed. So that needn't be said as well.
However, the floors have been . . . completely changed.
They were rough hewn logs. They are now laminated hardwood. All of the broken, dirty glasses and silverware have been removed, and replaced with better, more functional (And clean) ones. The kitchen is, by far, the best room in the inn. Sparklingly clean, the best equipment out there, and so on. The entire inn has been renovated. It is now made of better wood, and is much cleaner. It's not the prettiest building in the town, but it's functional. Which is what counts.
Also, any damage done to the inn will fix itself by the next day. So don't worry.

Disclaimer: The only thing changing about the inn is the size. So it will allow anyone in. And will supply as many corners as needed. Nothing else is changing. And it never does change. It just . . . you watch it, it . . seems to stay the same, but you know it changes, but . . . it doesn't, but . . .. (Think about it, and your head will explode)

Current Staff:
Nerick- Barkeep and Manager
???- Barboy
Gabriella - Barmaid
Julie - Waiter
Jessica - Cook
Psudonym - 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.)

If you're none of these but think you can help, ask about a job, ask Nerick, IC.

[Beans]

You do?
Really?

I think.
If what's going on is a... uh... slight increase in mass, shall we say. I'll be back rather soonish. I'm cleaning out a TV cabinet.

[Quinsar]

N-no... I'm just...
In heat...?
My race lays eggs...
And about every two months, on evelops in our body...
It creates this... Effect.

[Beans]

...
Okay then.
That's... yeah.
Still cleaning, just taking a quick break to post once.

[Quinsar]

Yeah...
sarah doesn't know what to say now...

[Beans]

So it's kinda like being pregnant... maybe... I think...
Eh.

There's another newlywed-to-be who might understand more. She's a daemon-girl, has wings, name's Liache.

Chol yawns.
'Sup, Maria?

[Quinsar]

Yeah, I heard of her...


Solomon walks downstairs...>.>




Nothing much.
You?

[Beans]

Liache has fallen asleep in her chair.

Yeah... man, is it just me, or is this the month of a billion marriages?

Same.
Why was my mom sleeping in your bed?

[Quinsar]

I dunno....
I think she hurt her head, and Saah didn't want her to sleep on the floor.


Yeah, lots of people are geting married.



Solomon tries to pick Liache up.
Aww. She's all tuckered out.

[Beans]

Oh.
Cool.
Now, if she knew the whole story, she'd currently be hugging the daylights out of her mother and weeping.

Liache is picked.
Mhh... file reports... abort retry fail... tech support...

I guess there's just something about September.

[Quinsar]

MAria nods, and starts drawing.



Solomon starts carrying Liache upstairs.



Month of love.

[Beans]

Carried'd.
---
Chol watches as she draws.
---
Yay for September!

[Quinsar]

Yay!



Solomon takes her to bed to rest.




Maria draws a kitty.

[Beans]

Yeah.
Oh, hey, look at the girls. Aren't they so cute together?
---
Liache snuggles down under the covers.
Mmm.
Solomon.
I do. I now pronounce you man and---wait, too early.
---
Kitty!

[Quinsar]

Yeah, they make great friend.



Maria keeps drawing.



Solomon blushes, snuggling up next to Liache.

[celtois]

A young looking lady dressed in what appears to be fine indigo silks walks in the door. Her skin is a pale as a fresh dawn and she has eyes as purple as her silk dress. She stands around 4 foot 9 and is quite slender.

[Shades of Gray]

A girl standing only 4'11" stands near this new arrival. She has long black hair, and wears a long black dress. She has long black gloves and black shoes. She carries a long black parasol. The only part of her that wouldn't blend into the night is her pale skin and red eyes.

[celtois]

The young lady takes a seat and spins around in it absentmindedly.

[Beans]

Thryza waves a bit at the indigo-clad girl.
---
Liache nuzzles up to him in her sleep.
---
Chol watches the drawingses.

[Shades of Gray]

The girl looks at Indigo lady. ... You okay? Not that I care.

[celtois]

Yeah, I'm fine, how about you, are you fine? Is that why your asking are you not alright. Oh I'm sorry. *Gasp* She is speaking unnaturally fast said the sentence in a single breath of air.

[Shades of Gray]

... I am fine. The girl with the umbrella says, sitting down. Sorry for what?

[Quinsar]

Solomon is soon asleep.


Maria keeps drawing a kitty.

[celtois]

Oh, that your weren't alright, but then your where. It's all very confusing. more of the quick speech

[Beans]

Thryza looks with concern at the Indigo Girl.
... Are you okay?

[Shades of Gray]

Right... Any reason you're talking like that?

Abigale is watching Maria draw.

[celtois]

Yeah I'm fine. Why do you keep asking?

[Beans]

Sorry, just thought you were talking fast out of... I dunno, nervousness or something. She shrugs.

((If we ever get around to doing a Musical Time-Romp Plot centering on Thryza, it won't be focused on her at her most evil [19]. It'll be her at her highest point of Boxdog-esque Woobie status [15].
If it ever happens, of course.))

[celtois]

Oh no. (Normal speed which seems very slow by her standards anyways)

[Quinsar]

A portal opens!
And a violent hiss cuts through the air.
