The Original Hank's Hookahs

Charity sits where directed. "So it's just you and your Uncle? What about the rest of your family?"

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

Calvin takes a seat on the couch next to the one she is sitting in.

"He adopted me after I lost the rest of my family. So it's just been me and him for a long time. He is really the only family I can really remember all that well."

He grabs a menu of the table and passes it over to her to take a look through.

((They should have pretty much any flavor you might want.))

[happyturtle]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

Charity will look for something without tobacco, but other than that, will pick something that sounds interesting. She had been expecting pot, but with so many flavours here, would rather try something new. "My sister came here first, but when she didn't stay in touch, I came here to look for her. We have a little bit of family back in the world we came from, but we've got more family here, since she married and had a little boy. And we have friends that are as close as family."

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

While Seesha in real life is only tobacco it seems they have learned how to apply it to pot as well here. So the flavor are for either here. And he is going to let her pick. He doesn't have a favorite, he always tries new ones when he comes in.

"My uncle and I used to travel more often, but he decided to settle down here. We have been working on getting his business up and running."

[Zefir]

The Sitar's Strings

"Told ya it was," Kareem says.

The Sitar's Strings

After he had taken another bite he makes a break.

"Still what's your point?" He asks straith but polite.

"My uncle and I used to travel more often, but he decided to settle down here. We have been working on getting his business up and running."

Charity chooses a pot flavour then. Which she really shouldn't be doing as she's a responsible person now with a real job as a medic, and not a flaky artist like she used to be, but Charity doesn't always make the best decisions.

>.> Plus Remnant hasn't implemented random drug testing for employees.

"What business are you in?" she asks.

The Sitar's Strings

After he had taken another bite he makes a break.

"Still what's your point?" He asks straith but polite.

"You seem pretty dissatisfied with the city. Usually people who feel like that either leave, or they try to change things." he says.

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

Calvin often chooses the pot as well, but he didn't want to choose it for her as well. He doesn't worry about the pot, it is no where near the worst decision he has made.

"He imports rare items and gemstones, a lot of stuff for magic users around here. I help him out with his security."

Someone very good at spotting lies might sense there is more to it then that.

[Rebonack]

[Park ==> Temple of Some Kind?]

Amil aids in fetching Copi from the evil clutches of the tree!

That evil tree, going and clutching people like that. Will it ever see the light and cease its clutching ways?

Anywho...

The genestealer has no idea where this temple that they're going to is in. So she'll just follow the lead of the others. And ask questions!

Questions are very important sometimes.

"Were those pirates following you?" she inquires of the Doctor.

[Zefir]

"You seem pretty dissatisfied with the city. Usually people who feel like that either leave, or they try to change things." he says.

The Sitar's Strings

"It's hard and most things get unnoticed, especially when your outnumbered."

The sadness of his words is easy to catch.

[Mindfreak]

Bakeries!
Iamar will find her move successful!
However, more acid wells up inside Spitter's mouth before trying to release!
Iamar might find acid on her very soon, and Hunter definitely will be losing his hoodie.
However, Hunter takes the moment after she spits to grab Spitter's throat, preventing her from being able to spit.
"You better have something to cover her mouth."

[Lost_Deep]

Park ==> Temple

Copi will be carried. She isn't too heavy, but touching some of the blue liquid will result in a small jolt. There shouldn't be any trouble carrying her to the temple other than that, though.

Charity is not very good at spotting lies. She's not bad at it either. Just average. As she smokes, she takes out her sketchpad and starts idly sketching. Not capturing faces very closely - more of the atmosphere of the place. "I'm an artist, but I decided to go back to school to become a medic."

"It's hard and most things get unnoticed, especially when your outnumbered."

The sadness of his words is easy to catch.

"If you're outnumbered, you just have to think smarter. Hit more important targets. Did you know the elves have a sky base where they can watch over the Nexus? Why don't the bastards stay in the forest where they belong?"

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

He tries to watch her draw always fascinated by people creating things.

"That's cool it seems like you know what your doing."

He says motioning to his bandaged arm.

"I bet you'll be a great medic. Where do you think you'll find work after training?"

[happyturtle]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

"Remnant, I hope. I'm doing some of my clinical training there," she says. "They tend to see some of the worst cases, especially when there are large scale attacks."

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

"Oh yeah I guess that makes sense."

He stiffens up a bit hearing that, but then tries to hide it by slumping down in the couch. It's not like she is an officer or anything someone who he could get in trouble for talking to. She is just a medic in training. He tells himself this as he tries to relax.

[Shadowcaller]

Bakery

"I will come out after I close the bakery," Elias says. "That'll be in 45 minutes. You can go wait in my room if you want."

The Poor Knight - Earlier

Please don't make him say it again. It took all his courage to say it the first time. "I..." he begins meekly, "I wanted to ask about... Her permission... about being your... squire?" he finally squeezes out.

Alfred's mother heard it that time, her eyes widening in the surprise. "His squire? Alfred, dear, I don't know about that."

Bakery

"Fiiine, I'll wait in your room then." Hekta replies before she runs off to Elias room to see if she can entertain herself with something laying around inside.

The Poor Knight - Earlier

"I think he got the talent actually." Correl says nod a thoughtful nod. "It's hard work however and carry many responsibilities. An squire is as responsible for his knight as the knight is to him. A good squire fills in where his master is lacking. Do you think you can handle that Alfred?"

[Girl's Night Out - The Sitar's Strings]

Cessie and Sakura attempts to enter the restaurant and look around for seats unless anyone stops them of course.

Charity seems to be occupied enough with the sketching not to notice his tension. "It's kind of dumb, me working for them, because I'm a pacifist. But my world has a tradition of pacifists working in the military as medics in war time. Quakers and such. And this world is pretty much a constant war zone. I'd rather just paint, but..." she sighs and shrugs her shoulders. "I guess I felt like I needed to do more."

There is a deck of tarot cards, a book on reading them, Elias's clothes, a few other small possessions that I'm too lazy to try and think up. Nothing extravagant of course. He's just an apprentice.

If Hekta is particularly nosy, she might find the loose wall board where Elias is hoarding his savings.

[Girl's Night Out - The Sitar's Strings]

Cessie and Sakura attempts to enter the restaurant and look around for seats unless anyone stops them of course.

Emily, a teenage girl, stops them at the door. "I'm sorry, but this is a human-only establishment."

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

"Your a pacifist?"

It doesn't seem like a judgement, more like he is curious. He hasn't had to much interaction with any who could be anything like a pacifist.

[happyturtle]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

Charity half-smiles. "That's me. Rarest creature in the Nexus."

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

He chuckles a bit at that.

"Not just the Nexus, they are pretty rare anywhere I think."

[Gullara]

Emily, a teenage girl, stops them at the door. "I'm sorry, but this is a human-only establishment."

[Girl's Night Out - The Sitar's Strings]

"Human only?" Sakura asks, clearly puzzled. "Why do you say that?" It doesn't make sense to her. What possible reason could there be for it?

[happyturtle]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

"Not so much in my homeworld." Which happens to be the modern USA. "Most people there, at least in my country, can go their whole lives without ever using lethal force or having it used on them. They don't decide to be pacifists, they simply don't ever have to choose."

"Being a pacifist back there means protesting against the death penalty for criminals, or against war. Here, it means facing down AMEN thugs armed only with a sketchpad."

The Sitars Strings

"It's the owner's policy," Emily says, smiling pleasantly, if you didn't know what she was saying. "And our customers like it this way."

[McBish]

The Original Hank's Hookahs

"Must be nice there. Maybe a bit boring but nice."

And he knows there are more people like that around here, he just doesn't often deal with those kind of people.

[Halae]

[Lots of Hope Hospital]

"Oh, alright." Arel glances at the rocketfairies nervously. Arel fills out the form quickly. She found her in an alley intersecting with [Street], she writes that Tabitha had those wound when she found her, no relation and any previous knowledge of her. Arel fills out the form as accurately as she can until she gets to the place to fill out her own name. She hesitates, and then writes 'Eve'. "Uh, you can probably find someone she's related to, right? I need to get home."

[Lots of Hope Hospital]

Tabitha will do what she's asked to do by the rocket fairies or nurses and the like. She's... her eyes are glazed over like she's high. There may be something in her system. she's not even responding to much in the way of outside stimuli right now, and her pupils are dilated. The gash along her face down to her chest is going to need stitches, but the vines on her shoulder look deliberate enough that it's unlikely she got them unknowingly put there.

Augurine Elmouse

If there are, Julie hasn't seen them. It's understandable considering she doesn't hang around much when she has to use their services,"Adults might be best, but let's not neglect other girls around the camp. Reelshka's niece, Keo, and Jamie could all look after them until they grow past them, and none of them seem to shun girls younger than themselves." Julie counters, before 'eep'ing and shuddering at the touch along her spine.

"You saucy little..." She brings a hand up and tries to cup Eric's jaw, a small amount of psionic energy pulsing along her fingers. If she touches him, he'll find that the inside of his mouth is suddenly ticklish for a while. It's only affecting his senses, and not an outright physical manipulation, but if he's going to play dirty then she'll make him regret it.

[Augurine Elmouse]

Surprsingly, Eric sees this coming, and moves his head out of the way of her hand, and turns it around on her. Eric will grab her hand in both of his own, and say, "I love you."

Even as he states this, he'll attempt to redirect the psychic energy coming in on Julie's finger. Not disable or deflect, or anything like that, just something significantly easier. If it works, Julie's own mouth will have the ticklish feeling to it, though she could easily power through his attempt at turning this around. Hopefully for him, the surprise of this may catch her off guard.

The Poor Knight - Later

As the spirit just decides to ignore Correl disappears in a flash and appears a moment later just next to the kami. He then reaches out and attempts to cast a sleep spell on it as it's distracted transforming people.

[The Poor Knight - Later]

The sleep spell simply fizzles, its target apparently immune to such shenanigans. It does, however, get the attention of the Kami, who grins when it sees Correl, and leaps forward, swinging a hand at him.

You an just tell, if that hand hits, it'll be bad.

[Beans]

Why don't you come out of there? I could see about better accommodations at least. Maybe we'll come up with some solutions on the way/

[Greenhouse]
What's better 'commodations? The bulb fully opens to reveal a white-skinned, purple-hair-and-eyed girl clad in drab rags.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Phone]
'S many as y'can, but... s'this gonna need payin'? Don' gots moneys, only gots nectars, an' guy said s'a-dik-tiff an' tha'means I shouldn' givvit to people...

"I'll take the nectar if you wish to give me some, but otherwise, no. I have a surfeit of them to dispose of, and this is as good a way as any."

[Beans]

"I'll take the nectar if you wish to give me some, but otherwise, no. I have a surfeit of them to dispose of, and this is as good a way as any."

[Phone]
Thanks... bring 'm to the big greenhouse what's all cracked an' dirty, please.

[Slii Arhem]

[Augurine Elmouse]

Surprsingly, Eric sees this coming, and moves his head out of the way of her hand, and turns it around on her. Eric will grab her hand in both of his own, and say, "I love you."

Surprisingly, the turnabout seems to work for an instant, but is fizzled out by what seems to be an instinctive undoing of the effect by its perpetrator, "That would be why I concentrate on almost all of my psionic abilities, rather than link them to the person I put them on and let them fade on their own time. It works even better when you can split your focus and concentrate on many things at once. Like this..." Julie leans in for a kiss charged with a tiny bit of erogeny just for fun.

[Lost_Deep]

Nurf... let's take this one at a time...

[Lots of Hope Hospital]

Arel-is thanked and reassured that they will and permitted to leave.

Almost.

The rocketfairies seem to be... less cooperative. As she turns to leave, several will try to grab onto one of the tentacles and pull it out of the way so that the others can get in close and look at how they connect to Arel's body.

"Hey! Get away from her! I'm sorry, miss, they don't really cooperate with us..."

Tabitha-A blood sample is taken, she is asked several questions to see if she's in shock, the vines are examined closely and, if it can be done without hurting her, removed. The lacerations are similarly studied... suffice to say that a number of modern medical things are done to get a full list of what's wrong with her.

[Augurine Elmouse]

The waitress appears with the pizza, places it on the table, and then disappears. No trouble!

[The Poor Knight - Later]

Think fast!

Kate will pull out her holy symbol and try to put a ward on Correl... unfortunately, she isn't very fast so the ward won't go into effect until a moment after Correl is touched/dodges the touch.

[Halae]

[Augurine Elmouse]

Julie will find Eric has readied a turnaround for the erogeny in the kiss as well, but he certainly goes into it with enthusiasm. It is difficult to focus on more than one thing at once, but it's lovely when you can manage it.

[Outside Augurine Elmouse]

There is a light puff of orchid colored energy in an alley outside the restaurant as a toddler is deposited in the area outside the restaurant where her parents are currently having a duel of sexy psychic wills. It's scylla! The half succubus farspawn girl.

Of course, this rapid transport in trying to locate her parents may have tipped off a thing or two that's sensitive to fluctuations in the veil.
