Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
"We grew up together, actually! Uh. When she was there, anyway. Her and Sarget liked to travel," says Adir. "She was my first kiss and everything." He snickers happily, grinning, and drinks some more. His face shifts, remembering. "I mean... not... not everything. The kiss, mostly. Never mind."
"Neighbors? I guess you've heard of old Empy then," Adir raises his eyebrows. "Huh. But... yeah. I mean. There isn't much I wouldn't do for them." His smile turns dopey. "The kids and her make me happier than I've ever been. I got down on my knees and told the Empress I'd cook, if that's what she needed. Isn't that funny, you guys telling me how good I was at it?"My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
"The childhood friend dream?" Ilpholin had no idea the relationship was that idyllic. "At least you explored other options first." Got some experience, made sure that's what they really wanted. It all seems to work out perfectly. And they lived happily ever after...
It's enough to make a nymph jealous.
"Yeah, she's further south of me," Ilpholin explains. She's afraid Adir has some inflated romantic ideas about what it means to be a knight. "Cooking would be an unusual task for a knight. Then again, I don't know much about what she's like as a person. Perhaps that's the kind of thing she's looking for? Have you been given any assignments yet?"

"I will. Maybe I'll go visit, one day. Perhaps even soon." Jack waves goodbye, but stays in the bar to keep an eye out for others.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
"Honestly, I never dreamt it would be like this," Adir says, indeed dreamily. He sits way back in the booth leather, wiggling his toosh to get comfortable. One would think it would smoosh his tail.
"No. Not yet. Apparently there's some kind of initiation I have to pass through," Adir explains. "But I don't think any of it's gonna be cooking for me. 'Cept, y'know, when I cook for Sakura and our gaggle of goblins."My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Spoiler: What he looks like
Suddenly, out of the entrance comes a dude who kind of looks like this (^^^^). He stumbles about, clearly drunk, and then starts to babble things like:
Stupid vanguard doesn't need more firepower,, they need more courge. COurge? Courage!
Tao idiots, ancestors damn them!
Halt, villain, The Dread Druid is here to-
Then he falls over unconscious.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Deer tails are designed to be smushed? Ilpholin doesn't really know. So she just tuts lightly. "Then you lack imagination." Her grin is interrupted somewhat as someone stumbles in and falls to the floor. She eyes him cautiously before deciding he's capable of sleeping it off right there and turns her attention back to Adir.
"Don't get hazed too hard. You'll need to work on your martial skills, won't you? Regular training and all that to stay in shape and be a proper knight?" Ilpholin sips her wine and 'assesses' his body again. "Well maybe not to stay in shape. But since you'll be a short trip away, I could always train you. My home has good facilities for combat training and it would be better for me to have a live partner. Mister Squiggles is good at a lot of things, but his holo opponents are a little predictable."

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Adir is a bit too engaged with Ilpholin and a bit too far on the tipsy side to even look at the unconscious stranger. The stag just grins. "I mean, I guess so. I'm definitely gonna be rusty..." Adir laments, though he still smiles.
"If you think you can keep from ogling me too much, I just might take you up on that," the stag winks. "Don't think I haven't noticed. Not dumb. Everybody thinks so, though..." He takes a swig, eyes hooded and glazed. "Not too dumb to be a knight."My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
"Sorry. Had to make sure your body can handle my training. I take practice very seriously, you know? I can be... quite intensive sometimes." Training was probably the one thing Ilpholin was actually quite rigid about, the nymph normally being a very flexible individual. While she didn't go so far as to make the time and type of exercise a set routine, there were always schedules and efforts being made.
"Though you aren't hard on the eyes either. I'll keep it down." Ilpholin sets her glass down with a smile and lets it sit there for now. It was only a third empty, her sips being more about tasting her wine than drinking it. Best to take it slow if she'll have to get Adir home. Or at least to an upstairs room. Some bed safely anyways.
"If people think you're dumb, it's news to me. Why do you think that everyone thinks that?" She doesn't recall anyone ever even suggesting as much. Then again, when compared to the smarts of say KR or Cessie which they hung around with quite a bit back at Watch, it might be easy to start doubting one's own intellect.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
The bird like man suddenly springs up, looks around, and sighs.
I blacked out again. Stupid human beverages.
The man then walks towards the bar, and requests something not made by a human.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
A bartender looks him over.
Is he the sort who wants a refined elven drink? No, obviously not.
A deeply distressing mixer made by horrible entities from beyond the shroud? Better not.
A fox cola? Everyone likes that, but from the way he was talking he's looking for something harder.
An oppressively heavy dwarven ale should do. Now, the barkeep seems to be human. And on fire. But the contents of the mug set down in front of the Dread Druid should be just fine.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
The strange bird man grabs it, puts it to his lips, drinks for ten seconds, and puts down the empty mugs.
Thank the ancestors I ate Ork before this. ANOTHER! says the bird man.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
After beign upstairs for an hour, Hidrus walk down again. He looks pretty messy, with wrinkled clothes and messy hair. The black circles around his eyes are even more marked, and his espression is one of deep irritation.
"cant sleep here. must stay awake. hrmuff"

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
The barkeep raises an eyebrow at him chugging down the whole thing. But here's another mug slapped down for him.
Then she turns to Hidrus.
"Something wrong with your room?"
The fireplace in the common blazes particularly bright, throwing off a shower of sparks.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Hidrus scratces his right horn. He tries to reach the tip, but the horn is too long.
"the fact is, it looks like i am expected to sleep on a fluffy slab of cloth. i, humm, belive that here everyone uses them. but it's useless to hold off the visions of blood and death that plague the subconscious of my people."
He lowers his head and stretches out his arm, reaching for the end of the horn.

"mmh. thats an interesting question. no. i don't see the future in my dreams. but i study it. for example, i anticipated the extinction of my race by many sweeps. and it's appening right now. one of my greatest, most precise predictions."
He smooths his clothes. He is wearing a simple black T-shirt with a green symbol on it depicting a stylized chalice. He has gray skin and red horns, and looks young.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Heh. Then you're blessed. I got no choice. Every night, EVERY NIGHT I get a premonition of what's to come tomorrow. I have to do it. I'm on "fate's path" as I keep calling it. It's a mess. I had to abandon my entire platoon just because "fate's path" wanted to lead me here. says the Kroot, downing another glass.

"heh. i know that feeling. when you know the future, its clear that free will is really overrated. the most difficult thing is to make the others understand it."
An ancient chalice containing some carbonated drink appear in his hand. He take a few sips, watch it disgusted, and makes it disappear.
"i shouldn't drink in this condition"

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Enemies. I used to have honorable enemies. I want that again. I have gone away from Fate's path, and I have to get back onto it. Excuse me, bartender, I infer that you have rooms for sale? Can i rent one of them for... let's say an hour? asks Kurrack.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
"Thanks. Man, compliments feel... weird, now." Adir laughs at himself. "I just need to get out more, hell."
Adir is about to go into another comment on Ilpholin's pithy use of double entendres when she asks him a serious question. "Uh," he perks, and his ears flick. "I'm not... really sure. I mean. Nobody's ever actually called me stupid or anything... At least, not lately. I guess I just feel like people treat me that way sometimes."My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

He says to the bartender, while getting up from the seat.

Re: Trog's Tavern CCLII
Even when she's not attempting to make double entendres, they're still there. Madness. Or she's just that good. Then again, everything's a double entendre if you look deep enough into the rabbit hole.
"The way you're treated?" Ilpholin tilts her head a little. "Maybe it's cause of the kids. People dumb down for children. Maybe it bleeds over into interacting with their parents? I dunno. Way out of my field of expertise." She waves the line of thought off with her hand. "Or are we talking straight up racism here? I can't tell you the number of idiots I've met who think fey only understand critters and plants." The last part comes out as something of a growl. Admittedly this problem doesn't seem to be that big an issue in Central Nexus.
