[Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VI: Wait, there used to be a Ribbajack here?
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:
SpoilerThe 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 - Bar Peoplez
Colin Aldaro - Waiter
Strahd - Cook
Songdancer - Bard

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.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Cheisha and Savorla walk in; the scorpion-tailed goddess is looking characteristically unsure of herself.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VI: Wait, there used to be a Ribbajack here?
Naku, the purple-haired vampire barkeeper, raises an eyebrow at this new person that looks rather . . . well . . . interesting.
"Can I . . . get you anything?" She asks politely.
She hasn't had any customers in too long to risk chasing anyone off; so she tries very, very hard to avoid her teeth showing.Spoiler: Quotes

The goddess awkwardly stares at her friend, who---as C'nor is off---remains deadtimed.
Ummm... maybe... when she's moving again?
((I can't remember if any of your characters ever met Lechy... ah well. I'll probably bring her in after I eat for lots of klutzy roboleg fleececoat adventurebiker goodness.))🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Savorla, who's a beautiful grey-skinned woman with black hair, and yellow eyes that seem to be covered with a thin layer of ice, shakes her way out of deadtime, and blinks for a moment as she assimilates the events that have been going on around her.
"...That depends on what you know how to make."

Still brushing off the last of the deadtime ooze clinging to his apron, Strahd peers out of the kitchen. "Ish everyone shtill here? What'sh going on?" Last he remembers, it was something about some troublemakers...

"I doubt you'd manage it even if you were...", the goddess says absently, looking over the menu. "And if you could try for a Night Phoenix, then, please?"

Cheisha gets her Rust Monster and puts down some moneythings with a sort of awkward-grateful smile.

Savorla nods, and explains, though her player isn't quite certain either.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VI: Wait, there used to be a Ribbajack here?
Shake-a shake-a shake-a!
Songdancer shakes off the sleepiness and wakes up beside the fireplace.
He proceeds to walk onto the stage and...sing.
"A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?*
Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?*
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singin’,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.
We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?*
We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."Busy with Life
