    Default [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXLII


    *Upon entering the tavern you find it to be rustic, dim, cramped, and smelling of spilled beer. Moving through the crowd, half of which seem to be deadtiming, you spot a fireplace with a banjowood carving on the mantle, you also make out through the haze the curving bar and private booths hidden behind ferns. A side door leading to a patio outside reveals a hungry looking dumpster mimic sneaking towards an unsuspecting customer.

    Near the stairs to the second floor rooms is a small white stone platform with a blue tree-like symbol on it. Standing on this platform will teleport someone to the Sanctuary Fortress located Inside where healers are always standing by in case of bar-brawls.

    Trog's can be found right around the corner from any place in the Nexus. Somehow. It's best not to question it.

    Sticks enters the tavern with his usual showmanship, tossing his shimmering Cloak of Souls around one shoulder and walking toward the bar on bare metal feet.

    He no longer looks like a pauper. A gold trimmed purple-red tunic falls about his shoulders, and an embroidered waistcloth is hung over his dyed Bal-wool trousers. These puffy trousers only reach his steel knees.

    The first thing he does - the first thing he always does - is look for potential customers. People who look desperate, down, depressed, or in need of assistance. Of course, there's plenty of those people in a tavern, but he needs a more powerful soul than the average NPC can provide. Someone who stands out. His gaze is narrow and imperious.

    Default Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXLII

    A flash of black and purple light suddenly erupts at one of the taverns empty tables, leaving what appears to be a young girl slumped face down. She appears to be in her early twenties, her hair a snowy white compared to her tanned skin. Her dress is tattered and torn, though clearly made of fine purple and red material that's seen better days. In her hand is clenched a charred, blackened dagger that begins rhythmically pulsing with energy.

    HEY! cries a male voice, coming from the blade. A LITTLE HELP HERE!

    Woo, new person!

    ...

    Hmm...

    New person seems a little mauled right now.

    And the new person appeared right as Winifred enters the tavern! She's human, clearly. And uncannily attractive. The sort of person who usually warrants a second look.

    She's also shielding her eyes from the flash of light since you never know when flashes of light might shoot... like... magical lasers at you.

    Or something.

    Anywho!

    The woman cautiously approaches the slumping lady. "I... hello? Talking... knife? How can I help?"

    She's been here three months thus far, but talking weapons are still a new one on her.

    The merchant with the fancy clothes turns his empty (but oddly expressive) gaze on the newcomer. Well that is concerning. She appears to be unconscious.

    Sticks walks toward the woman and her dagger, leaning forward. He doesn't want to touch her just yet. He's wearing his Sunday best, an irreplacable set of clothes, and wouldn't dream of ruining them unless it was necessary.

    Sticks has a broad definition of necessary.

    "Um. Are you alright?" He says, not sure whether he's speaking to the dagger or the young lady. To clarify, he says, "Madame?" It would seem the other person is handling that... weapon. Sticks is uncomfortable around talking weapons, mostly because he's got one himself.

    The woman lets out a small cough, blood splattering on the table from her mouth.

    OH GREAT, LOOKS LIke that was fatal after all states the knife, its voice growing agitated even as it seems to fade, the pulsing energy slowing like a pulse approaching its final beats. if any of you... can... heal... would...appreciate... From under the table flows a slight stream of red that seems to be coming from the girl's torso.

    "I... umm..." Winifred replies uncertainly, glancing around to see if anyone does in fact know how to heal.

    ...

    Nope!

    Doesn't look that way.

    Unless that creepy looking guy Sticks can heal people. But she has the feeling that any healings he gives out would have horrible prices attached to them.

    "I'm afraid not...?"

    That's one of the issues with showing up in a tavern with life threatening wounds. There might not be anyone on hand to patch them.

    Sticks attempts to lift the woman's head back, mostly so he can get a better look at the wound. Looks like he might have to ruin these clothes after all. "Move back please," He asks of Winifred, worried her presence will disrupt his abilities.

    The tall man scowls as his cloak comes alive. He raises one deadly-looking claw, and it flares with violet fire. He plunges the claw into his bulky belt, retrieving the soul of Archsaint PeMonte, a devout worshipper of deep god Sathin and a vessel for her healing powers. The priest's soul caged between his steel fingers, Sticks attempts to press the soulmass against this stranger's open wound.

    PeMonte's spirit is more than happy to help, and if he is allowed within, will attempt to mend this heathen-child's wounds. There is no small effort of will on Sticks part, but as for ritual, he mostly just murmurs some sacred words and makes the proper sigils with his hand.

    Red bursts through the front door but door in a form of a cannonball. Thankfully the door just opens and isn't damaged. The cannonball lands somewhere in the tavern. On the floor the cannonball shapeshifts into a child form with a number of wounds, some serious some minor. Raising his face Red speakes in a croaked voice.

    " 'Sup people....... I'm kinda hurt or worse over here. When I faint I'd appreciate it if someone heals me before I croak on the floor."

    With that Reds face falls to the floor again unconscious. Maybe a nice guy will help?

    As the soulmass begins to go to work, the dagger flares a bright violet light as soot and ash fall from it revealing a polished blade with jeweled hilt. With a gasp the woman bolts upright, her green eyes flashing around the tavern in fear until they fall on her strange savior.

    Uh...h-hello... she murmurs, eyes wide and mouth agape. The light from the dagger fades as it emanates what almost sounds like a dark chuckle coming from miles away.

    Sticks watches the dagger 'heal' also, and can't help but wonder if it's bound to this woman somehow. She is a fascinating case, to be sure. Perhaps her soul can be of some use.

    Sticks leans forward, the metal needles on his head falling against his scalp like greased hair, and he smiles warmly. "Are you alright, Madame? Does your stomach hurt?" He's got a vaguely Latin accent, and his (literally) silver tongue would be rather charming were it not for his alien appearance.

    Another 'patient' enters the tavern. As the boy falls flat on his face, Sticks flattens his face against his palm. He can't simply leave the child to die now - everyone's seen his powers. Besides, some part of him wouldn't feel right about letting a young man die when he could've done something to help. "One moment please, Madame."

    He turns on his heel and drops to his knees, the golden soul of a Saint still captured inside his hand. He brings this powerful energy to bear against Red's wounds, and several shimmering tendrils extend outward to mend the boy's shattered body. Sticks murmurs again, a little flash-sweat breaking out on his brow. He normally doesn't sweat at all, but such exertion has forced much from his thin form.

    ((Perhaps we should wait for Rebo at this point))

    Make Winifred back off a bit and feel useless?

    'cuz that's what she does.

    She backs off a bit and feels useless.

    Healing is most certainly not a thing Huldras are good at. Making neat illusions? She can do that. Taking on a form that encourages most humans to curtain with her? She can do that too. Eat ghosts? She's REALLY good at that one.

    But healing people?

    NOPE!

    Most certainly not in her skill set. Though she seems to be glad that the two injured people are alright.

    Red wakes up and steadies himself to stand. He looked at himself and saw that someone did help him. Looking around he saw a couple of people inside the establishment.

    "Well since I'm alive I'm guessing someone helped me. So can someone tell me who helped me?"

    He may have the persona of a spoiled brat but he is in no way an ingrate.

    The girl continues looking about timidly, taking in the strangeness of the tavern and those around her.

    Um... she speaks up, obviously uncomfortable. W-where am I...? She seems to notice the knife in her hand for the first time and drops it suddenly, flinching back from it with a kitten-like yelp.

    Kitty?

    Weeeeeell anyway.

    The woman has now asked the question that everyone asks upon being blarged into this crazy mixed up world.

    "Far from home," Winifred speaks up in reply to the woman who was dying due to extra holes in her torso a few moments prior. Extra holes in the torso are the worst.

    "In a little tavern called Trog's."

    Hmmm...

    Will that do for now?

    We'll have to wait and see.

    Sniper Flaming Hawt Human Reinholdt enters the tavern and takes a look around. Been a while and maybe Ermine was here. But it seems like no luck this time. Taking a flask out of his jacket, he takes a swig and makes a face wherein it's clear he doesn't like drinking the stuff, before putting the flask back.

    After which he finds and takes a seat.

    Liata Terise strode into the tavern feeling somewhat disgruntled. Here she was, last survivor of the descendants of Terise the Shield, stuck as a poor wanderer in a place that seemed halfway to disaster.

    However, while she did have an interest in taking her mind off things with a good drink, this wasn't her only reason. She was seeking ways to help justice, and taverns were good places to find such things. She at least knew enough clichés to know that.

    What with her short height, she had a bit of trouble getting onto a bar stool. "Three pints of your fourth-finest ale, if you please," she said coldly.

    "Fourth finest? That's awfully specific." Reinholdt comments from just over there.

    Best hope Cosmo's not serving though, or it'll just be the usual swill.

    ((I was merely being polite. Post order and all that. Besides, Winifred could've done a million things! ))

    Sticks offers his hand to the boy so that he might steady himself. The tall man smiles, and for the first time it becomes apparent that his teeth are made of silver. He's replaced his jagged metal munchers for the evening.

    "I'm called Sticks," His free hand forces the soul of PeMonte back into his belt. The thin man seems a little worn out all of a sudden. "You're quite welcome."

    He stands and whirls, shimmering Cloak of Souls likely brushing Red's face with a warm, half-ethereal sensation. The tall man is very interested in that dagger the stranger's got...

    Aaaaand hello Huldra! Sticks didn't get to have a look at Winifred before, but my, that is not the sort of being he's dealt with before. He's honestly not sure who to try and trade with.

    Oh well. He'll start with the ones that are already in his debt. First, this woman with the dagger. "A world called the Nexus," He finishes for Freddie, smiling. He repeats, "Does your stomach hurt, madame? Has it healed?"

    Millions of things!

    Like...

    Umm...

    Anywho!

    The Huldra could be described as a veritable bottle of souls, containing well over two hundred of the things. All corrupted and amalgamated together in the form of the creatures ghostly blue fox-fire. Given Stick's line of work that would no doubt be interesting. Though given that the souls are a Huldra's source of power Winifred would probably be loath to give them up.

    A pretty sweet deal would need to be struck...

    Though there's one soul in her that isn't tainted at all.

    A human one, held within a glass orb that functions akin to a one-shot phylactery.

    Anywho AGAIN!

    Freddie orders a cup of licorice and honey tea at the counter. She's rather fond of the smell. And it doesn't taste half bad either!

    Good question

    The woman nods slowly, looking Sticks over cautiously. Yes, t-thank you. W-was that magic? And... another world? I-I did not know there was anywhere besides Earth and where that... she glances toward the knife Came from. Taking a deep breath, she regains her composer and stands slowly. My name is Madeline, Mr. Sticks.

    "It certainly fits my mood better than second- or third-finest," replied Liata. "Fourth-finest is for when you need something nice and mediocre. It's something rough for when you're having a rough time and need something that'll bite you back. There's a time for the good stuff, and there's a time for the tolerable-but-not-perfect stuff."

    "Sound like you practically enjoy getting roughed up..." Reinholdt says it with all sincerity. After all... he does too.

    "But I'm going to go with the more obvious guess and say you're having a bad day?"
