[13:51] (Unnamed)Storyweaver | The dock is always alive with the hustle bustle of workers carting and carrying goods, pirate and goodfornothing type seafarers squabbling and yelling, dockmasters keeping a watchful eye on things, drunk sailors staggering towards the bathhouse in search of a warm bed and a hot whore, hell there were even alligators that sprung up at random. It would be not so hard to notice one clad in finery and smelling like roses meandering about wearing jewelry and one such good for nothing wastrel had his eyes set on her. A small wiry young lad, with pasty skin and nimble feet sneaks up behind the nearest building towards the lady.
[13:51] (Unnamed) Storyweaver rolls R7 (CC:be32): 165, Shadows, to sneak up near her unnoticed
[13:56] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) was spending her afternoon as she often did...Watching supplies get unloaded from her ships. With the new Harbor Master in play, there really was no need. But whether or not she and Ashes were working together, she didn't trust the tiefling to handle her valuable goods, and insisted on watching herself. Amidst the thriving scene that surrounded the still partially ruined docks, the noise was substantial. So much so that the woman had no chance in the abyss of hearing the young man sneak so stealthily up behind her. Her eyes remained forward, locked on the dock workers, completely unaware.
[14:01] (Unnamed) Storyweaver | The boy gives a leery grin, eyeing the much older woman's rear for a long time before his eyes mark the prize as he leans to a side, eyeing her bosom now, not for the bust it concealed but the jewels it displayed. But JUUUST as he lunges forward to snatch at a necklace, a voice can be heard from the lady's left "You! Boy! Sneaky little rat!", as a giant dark skinned male appears out of nowhere amid the crowd and just shoots out a long hand to grip at the little pasty now trembling boys collar to just lift him up from the ground like one would a kitten. The big male looks at the woman and mutters in a surprisingly civil tongue "This boy was going to snatch your necklace. What are you doing here decked in such finery anyway?"
[14:20] The Den Mother(valerievixxen) nearly spilled her wine as her attention was jolted away from the docks by the man calling out. She'd turn sharply towards him, looking blankly for a moment before her eyes went to the boy who was about to rob her. There seemed to be a sort of ambivalence about her expression. As if she didn't quite care enough to smile or frown..."Well well...A foolish little rat, then.." she'd remark, before shifting her gaze from the boy up to the darker man.."He'd be the first one brave enough to try such a thing. And a lady doesn't leave her room without such fineddeh. It simply wouldn't be propah"
[14:27] (Unnamed)Storyweaver | The man with the long long dreads blinks as he just snarls and mutters curses at the boy and flings him to the opposite side before looking at the woman with a flabbergasted look cuz he did not understand head or tail of what she was saying owing to her accent "Uh.. whatever.", thinking her to be of low intellect he speaks SLOWLY and clearly "This.. docks.. no safe... You dont wear jewelry here ok? Bandits slit throat and take gold...", he mimes the action with his thumb across his throat and then looks around. Evidently she was rich. "You have no husband?", as he further speaks his own civil manner coming forth by default "Tis not safe for a woman alone in a place like this.. You should be escorted by someone at least.. you look like you have the means!"
[14:40] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) gave the man a somewhat confused look as he slowed down his speech.."Dahling, I can he-ah you jahst mahvelousleh. No need to talk like a fahlandah." she'd respond, pausing her words to take a drink from her wine glass before she continued..."The bandits he-ah know who I am, and they know the-ah is mo-ah moneh to be made wahking for me than against. That little rat must be new." she'd state. At the mention of a husband, a smirk would pass over the womans lips..."Not anymo-ah" she told the man, before turning towards him.."And unfohtunateleh it is so hahd to find help one can trust. Especially when you pay for loyalteh."
[14:44] (Unnamed) Storyweaver nods, taking the time to clearly understand the woman and he shrugs "You want to buy loyalty? That costs good coin. I am new here as was that rat. You know the bandits? You must have quite the reputation if they work for you. What kind of help are you looking to hire?"
[14:53] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) grinned at the man "Coin can nevah buy true loyalteh, dahling. Onleh obedience. Which wahks for me, for the most paht." she'd remark, turning away from the man to look at the docks again. "Yais, but its not the bandits that will evah be troublesome for me. The blind and the righteous....Those will be troublesome. And so I need help that can handle them. Quite hahd to find indeed"
[14:55] (Unnamed)Storyweaver quirks a dark eyebrow as he tries to process the woman's words "You want someone to work against the blind and the righteous? Huh?", he scratches the back of his head, a bit confused "Well you got an office or someone to do hiring for ya? I happen to be looking for some work while I'm here on the isle. Is there anything I can apply for?"
[15:02] The Den Mother(valerievixxen) chuckled at the mans eagerness. It was refreshing, but what she needed...A guard...Well, it wasn't just something she could hire and hope for the best. "Oh, so veddeh veddeh eagah, dahling. A mahvelous thing to see. But I cannot exactleh go hiyah-ing wantonleh. For what I need, I mean. I /could/ pay you to do some wahk. Pah-haps prove you-ah skills"
[15:06] (Unnamed) Storyweaver | The male shrugs, she did seem like one wealthy and having SOME kind of power from what she said. "Well sure why not. Tis only fair you test someone whom you might hire.. just let me know where and when and what.. I'll see if I can get it done... Tis hard to find good work in this place yanno.. I hear people talk bout mer attacks and fires and stuff... I'm just a simple man wanting to do some work.. I dont steal or backstab... like that lil rat that I just plucked off of ya.. but yes.. just let me know and I shall see!"
[15:16] The Den Mother(valerievixxen) thought for a moment. She didn't exactly have a lot that needed doing that could be done by one who didn't want to really steal or backstab. Nor would the resolve of any prospective hire really be tested by doing something 'proper'. But she could think of one way to test him. "The wolves have been causing great trouble for eveddehone. If one of them was taught a lesson, it would be for the good of the entiyah island...And would show me you are capable. You would be paid, of cawse..."
[15:21] (Unnamed) Storyweaver | He scratches the side of his head and shrugs at long last, "Teach a wolf a lesson huh? Well I can try but do you have a name for me?", he quirks an eyebrow and then waves off his hand "Never mind. I will just have to lurk in the forests near full moon. Now that is -very easy eh?", he shakes his head at his own poor joke. "Well I can't teach people no lessons lady... Maybe I ought to look for work elsewhere but thanks for the information and watch out for .. necklace snatching rats... at least keep a bandit at your side", he smirks and would be off with a wave before he turns around and adds "If you be needing -honest- work done, ask for Wadeshu at the Docks... Uh... Fare you well then!"
[15:35] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) chuckled and shook her head..."You'll not do well afraid to take chances, dahling. Honest wahk is really rathah subjective. The wolves would considah it dishonest. Most would considah what the wolves do dishonest. I'm afraid most are too afraid to engage me, and thus the-ah is no way to test you-ah skills." she'd say, shrugging her shoulders slightly." I'll come and find you the next time someone is foolish enough to try and kill me. " she'd say, slightly sarcastically.."Until then, adieu, dahling...Adieu~"

For Armed Escort Skill:
22/09/2015
[14:19] (Unnamed) . And there he stood. About six foot even, maybe a pinch higher. Long or medium flowing or curly or straight insert color hair. His well toned or untoned muscles rippled or did not ripple in the sunlight. His insert skin complexion was nice against the sun but most of him was covered by that heavy armor. The way he stood there, or she stood there, was absolutely magical. Like a forgotten unicorn in a crowd of black diamonds. Gerard or Geraldette was one of a kind. Or one of many of a kind.
[14:24] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) made her way down from the clean streets of Upper Aberwyth towards the residential area of Middleton. She seemed rather wary as she moved. Usually the woman had no fear from the common populace; Her political connections and the like made her mostly untouchable. But the supply shortage she had manufactured was a double edged sword...The common folk could easily get desperate. It was for this reason that the woman was even heading to the guard house. And lo and behold, a rather strapping looking specimen was already standing outside. Stopping short, the woman looked up at him. Because he was clearly taller than her, even in her heels. "Bonjou-ah, dahling, Bonjou-ah! I don't suppose you-ah commanding officah is he-ah?" she'd inquire
[14:26] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) Was a rogue when it came to authority. That probably came from the fact he could not get a fully erect penis. "Early in the day for drinking?" he canted his head. "He is not but I do not care. Is there something you need assisted with, my lady?" he took a few steps forward, right hand moving to the hilt of his axe/sword/mace and looking toward the Den Mother. "Might there be dragons?"
[14:36] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) pretended like she didn't know what the man was talking about with regards to drinking, at first. She was only /slightly/ tipsy after all. She hadn't been drinking as much as usual, to keep up the illusion that, like everyone else, she hadn't access to alcohol. "I haven't the foggiest /what/ you are talking about, dahling." she'd remark, forcing herself to adopt a more sober and dignified facade, with her head held high. The man, who seemed suicidally eager to fight a dragon, caused the woman to quirk a brow, before shaking her head. "No, de-ah, no dragons. Onleh peasants. Peasants who are becoming increasingleh rowdeh, since supplies have begun dwindling. I am in need of protection. A membah of the Abahwyth council cannot be walking undefended while people are going mad with hungah."
[14:52] (Unnamed) He rose a brow curiously as the Lady spoke, rubbing his bearded or unbearded chin roughly. "I see... no dragons.. but pheasants...I hat.." he blinked. "Oh peasants.. the lower folk." he said, having come from money outside of the island but throwing it all away to become a guard he felt the same attitude as she did. "Well we can not have a high ranking official going unescorted.." he said, eying back at the guard house. "Interesting o'boss hasn't assigned one of us... Well." he turned back to her and took a knee. "I, Gerard, will do all within my abilities to help the lady. In these times, a fair lady needs a sword/axe/mace and you will have mine." he said, bowing his head deeply. "I will not allow those in hunger and need attempt to harm or steal from a Lady well worth more than them. Filthy little pigs." he grunted.
[15:02]The Den Mother (valerievixxen) now had an overbearing hunger for roast pheasant, thanks to Gerards little flub. Which was a damned shame, because the shortages meant most people were eating the game they caught, rather than selling it to the wealthy. Another downside to her evil scheme. She'd grumble ever so slightly as she thought of this, but the mans cordial and agreeable response brought a smile back to the womans face. "Well I've unfohtunateleh been unable to meet with the new Captain of the guahd. The council has become increasingleh scattahed, since the depah-cha of de-ah, sweet Valkeddeh. I shall have to summon him mo-ah directleh." she'd comment, taking a moment to wonder if he would be as pliable as his predecessor. If not, command within the council may slip from the woman.. " Anyways, dahling, that is neithah he-ah no-ah the-ah! How divine!" she'd exclaim, seemingly referring to the mans willingness to escort her. "You are an absolute gentleman, Geddahd, dahling! An absolute gentleman! And you'll be a well paid one too!"
[15:06] Lady Grigori (Khamis Luminos) had no idea what was going on, but she had an easy time finding the Den Mother no matter where she was. She'd watch from a distance, then approached with her usual lithe demeanor; a bright smile, a bounce to her step and a jaunty tune on her lips as she whistled. She'd see the man, and Lady Elizabeth to whom she greeted both,"Bonjour!" With a sweet, friendly tone. She'd stand at Lady Elizabeth's side with her hands joined together before her and a bright smile for dear Gerard's pleasure, yet she had nothing else to say and instead had decided to listen.
[15:07] (Unnamed) He remained down on his knee as he listened. He nodded intently at her words. "Your words are comforting to the soul of a worried guard, my lady." he said, slamming his armored fist against his chest in salute as he rose. "Gentleman when needed, but I'll beat the head in on anyone who touches you, my lady." he bowed at the waist before raising slowly. "An you won't have to worry about any seedy things from myself.." he cackled a bit and shook his hips. "Me dick don' work, so all for the money and pride." he grinned, looking behind the Den Mother and to the woman approached. As she flashed the smile, he reflected one of his own and looked back to the Lady's gaze. "The wrongs will be right then, my lady."
[15:14] The Den Mother (valerievixxen) turned about at the sound of whistling behind her, catching sight of her fashionably dressed handmaiden. It was like having Ginla back, except Charlotte was likely much more useful in a fight. "Ah! Bonjou-ah, ma cherie! Bonjou-ah! You are looking uttahleh /maaaahvelous/ this aftahnoon!" she'd compliment, taking a moment to admire the womans outfit before turning back to Gerard. As he bowed, she began to offer out her ringed hand to him, as a lady does...And then he started talking about his dick. She'd pause, pulling her hand back slightly, a look of disdain partially hidden behind a weary smile. But she'd force herself to be cordial, again holding out her hand to him. "How chahming to he-ah." she'd say, her uneasiness fading as she adopted her usual speech "I am Lady Mont-d'Or, as you no doubt know. A pleas-yuh, Geddahd, dahling."
[15:18] Lady Grigori (Khamis Luminos) found the current conversation exciting, at least her expression would suggest so. her smile brightened slowly, almost unnatural in the steady upturn of her lips over the practiced interval of time. To hear him offer his services to Lady Elizabeth though made her clap her hands together happily as she exclaimed,"Tres bien mon ami!" Her tone seemingly juvenile, aging her apparently a young adult. She'd see the eyes of her Mistress upon her, and vain as she was; she'd strike a pose, enjoying being enjoyed thoroughly. "It is inspired by you, mademoiselle Mont-d'Or." She'd happily chime, but her eyes soon turned back to Gerard with her quite pleased smile still worn upon her face.
[15:26] (Unnamed) Oh No. Gerard grabbed that hand and kissed her ring, in the most asexual way possible. No slobbery lingering, just very knightly. "I did know, Lady Mont-d'Or but i am of no place in class to call you of such a thing without introduction, though my lady will remain." he bowed his head again. His eyes flickered to the woman that rattled something out of her mouth he had no idea what it was. "Was that elven? Orc? Was pretty but.. I do not follow." he admitted, he had no language skills. Besides Mermish. Why? Who knows. but this bro could speak fluent mermish.. The pose caught him off guard and his eyes flickered back to the Lady. "The pleasure is mine, and mine alone. Allow me to keep you safe."
[15:26] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) Gerard the Guard has joined your party!

For Social Standing Rank up (1 of 6) 10.17.2015 Denny, wanting to avoid a large scale battle against the pesky druids, decides to try and convince the druid to simply kill himself and save them all the time. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
[19:22] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) proceeded down towards the group, protected by the uncertain Reginald and the Water elemental, which of course could not feel fear. She remained in the back, of course, because she definitely had no armor or reason to go up to the front. But that wouldn't stop her from attempting to ply her greatest skill. Her tongue. Ew, not like that you sick fucks... "Now now now, dahling. We all know, no mattah what, this isn't going to end veddeh well for you. And you seem teddibleh ti-yahed of this whole thing. I know I am. So befo-ah things become violent. Why don't you jahst do you-ahsailf a favoh and impale you-ahsailf on her swohd?" she'd propose, gesturing to Eph. "No sense dying all wohn out, aftah all. And, in truth, my friends he-ah are veddeh excited for a good fight. If you truleh wish to spite them, why not simpleh deny them that?" she encouraged, before looking over to Crystiel, and then back to the Druid. "See, dahling, she wants retribution. It'd be maaaaach easiah jahst to end you-ahsailf. Please"
[19:22] (Unnamed): Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or rolls R10 (IoV:#1053#): 11 - To convince a man to stab himself cuz I'm a bitch
[19:23] (Unnamed): Storymaker rolls R0 (IoV:#2515#): 14 - Against Denny's evil persuasion.
[19:27](Unnamed) SM: The druid nodded, but his eyes cut to the metal that Makki spoke of. "Ah, the sword--.." He paused. "So you're the one who decides. You have the sword, and--.. no?" He came to another pause and his eyes shifted to settle on Crystiel. "You then -- though I'd appreciate it if you would cease your whelming, so that we might talk without need for threats." He looked to Denny, then chuckled. "It would not be easier for you. In fact, it would be very bad for you if I were to die -- if /we/ were to die." The druid spread his hands. "The shadelings? Our pets? We're the only ones keeping this darkness at bay, from allowing it to swallow this isle whole. You've all been fooled -- I know who it is that sent you, he who gave you those convoluted clues to stall you, that would bring you to this point when we were weakest so that you might slay us. The traitor to our order, druid that he claimed to have been."

For Social Standing Rank Up (2 of 6) Denny has spent her life telling people to kill other people. Now, after her failure at the great battle, she has set her sights higher...She seeks to convince people to kill THEMSELVES. Obviously, this isn't something she can do on her own. And so, as the first step in her great journey, she travels to the shrine of Valeska, to ask for her assistance.
[07:15] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) traveled through the beautiful lead strewn island, garbed in all her finery. The valley, barren and dark but two weeks ago, was now shown in vivid color. Reds, yellows, and oranges were all on full display in the trees, and the reds were on display, too, in Denny's outfit. As she arrived at the shrine, she motioned to Reginald to stay out, before beginning across the stones towards the statue of Valeska. Her long silk veil dragged through the water behind her, but she didn't seem to mind. It was better than the blood it would usually be dragging through. Coming to the foot of the statue, Denny would look up at it and smirk. "Well, Valeska dahling, it's been some time...Although I suppose I saw you as recentleh as two weeks ago."
[07:24] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) stepped onto the plinth where the statue was hold, brining the hem of her gown out of the water and onto the dry stone. "I must say, I was rathah huht that you opted to wahk through the elven woman rathah than me. Oh, but I suppose we are doing othah wahk togethah, yais? With my command of Haven, and regency ovah Abahwyth...Well, a mahvelous chunk of the island is now undah you-ah influence. The elves continue to cling to the-ah old gods, but I shall remedeh that in time. And the Singahti...Well, they are simpleh heathens. Useful heathens, at times, but convincing them to wohship anything besides the trees and bushes and squiddels is pointless. I'll try, though, Valeska dahling. I'll try." she'd pause, watching a small fish swim through the shrine before looking back to the goddess statue and continuing. "My wahk would be made much easiah, howevah, if my tongue was as golden as it is meant to be. I could have ended the affa-yah with that druid in me-ah moments, had he onleh heeded my wahds."
[07:32] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) took a moment too look around warily. Reginald was standing guard at the shrines entrance, of course, but that drow thief could be sneaking around anywhere, and she didn't want him knowing things before his time. She seemed to be alone, however. Except for Reginald, who was waxing his mustache, as an Englishman does. "Which is, I suppose, why I am he-ah. The last two demons you sent me tuhned out to be uttah flops, and as such I've had to rely entiyahleh on my own wit and charisma. But I need mo-ah. If I am to chahm the entiyah island into you-ah sahvice with onleh my wahds, I need mo-ah. I need the abiliteh to chahm people right into the grave." she stopped again, before smirking at the statue. She then eased into a deep, respectful bow before Valeskas image. "I ask of thee, Valeska, goddess of Valesk, gild my tongue once mo-ah. Grant me the abiliteh to convince my opposition to take the-ah own lives, in the inteddest of you-ah gloddeh."
[07:38]Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) wasn't one for elaborate prayers, so when the request was done...It was done. She'd shrug, rising back out of the bow, before looking at the statue again. "Well, I'm cahtain you are busy, so you'll get back to me on that, yais? By the by, let me know what else you are wanting me to do. I've many men at my command right now, and I'm often having to make wahk to ensyuh they adden't bo-ahed. For the time being I will continue the rebuilding of Abahwyth and do what I can to convaht the elves." she'd purr, turning about and begining across the stones out into the woods again, Reginald putting away his mustache wax and following. "Ta, you-ah divine grace! Ta ta for now!"

For Phantom Assassin Spell (1 of 4) 11/2/2015 Denny knows the easiest way to control people is with fear, but an illusion that can do no harm can only be scary to a small degree. So she has decided to learn Phantom Assassin. In this scene, she travels to the magic shop to buy a ridiculously cheap scroll to learn from.
[13:22] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) suddenly appeared in the doorway, accompanied by an ominous flash of lighting, which lit her up from behind. Except it was also daytime and it wasn't actually raining, so not only did that come out of god knows where, but it wasn't THAT effective at brightening things up. In the flash, either might have caught a sinister look on the womans face if they had been watching, but after the lighting had faded she just had her usual sweet smile..."Meddi, daaaaahling!" she'd cry out, her arms spreading wide in a greeting as she paraded into the room. "And Rrrrei. Oh how mahvelous. I see I have wondahful timing as always." which really meant horrible timing for the two others.
[13:26] Rei Anundr AldinRei Anundr Aldin (rei.lowtide) began to look sheepish. "I found what I was looking for," he started vaguely. Yup, he had re-upped on his opium supply - that was for sure. On the other hand though, he lost a lot of his earnings from the Den Mother in gambling and other drug-filled shenanigans. He watched her eagerly watched her as she came out from behind the counter. He wanted to step over to her and pull her up in his arms, but the flash of light had him spinning around to see a very familiar noble. He bowed curtly. "Lady Elizabeth," he returned the greeting before looking between the two women in his presence. He had always thought Meri wasn't a fan of the noble.... but perhaps they still conducted business together?
[13:29] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) dashed a glance over as Elizabeth entered, a tip of her head with faint surprise flicking over her features. Her usual musical tones still in her voice as she murmured a quiet "Good day to you, quite the surprise to see you here, what can I help you with?" Her expression had smoothed as soon as Elizabeth appeared but she'd caught Rei's look right before it changed and the sense of relief though her mind made her wings relax and settle against her back. Her eyes flicked between Rei and Elizabeth for a moment, but - the woman was well-known enough that Meri didn't really think anything of it.
[13:34] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) took a moment to look around at the new structure. It was vastly superior to the old magic shoppe, that was for sure. "Quite an upgrade you've had he-ah, dahling. I /laaaaahv/ it!" she'd exclaim, before sauntering in. The light of the afternoon sun streaming through the open door shone brightly off of the fine silks the woman wore, as well as BOTH of her crowns. It was all a bit...Ostentatious. "Ah, Rei, you are so veddeh well mannahed as always dahling. Saaach a gentleman." she'd coo, before adding. "We should chat some time. Now would be nice, but I'm jahst he-ah to make a pahchase and be on my way." she added, before moving towards the counter. "I'm he-ah in seahch of a spell scroll...I'm looking to make my illusions a bit mo-ah...Potent...Mo-ah...deadleh, if you will. I don't suppose you have anything of the soht?"
[13:38] Rei Anundr AldinRei Anundr Aldin (rei.lowtide) did offer a smile for the Lady as she complimented on his manners. "I know my place amongst the Lords and Ladies," he replied. Her words of having to talk with her had him nod. "I will come visit you at a more convenient time." Well, now Meri was going to know for sure he had been conducting his own business with the woman. He stepped aside, and out of that sunlight, as Lady Elizabeth made it known that she had business with his avariel friend. His eyes did look at those two doubled crowns.... that would all go for a pretty penny - that was for sure. He glanced back to Meri, curious if she would so oblige to offer the noble something deadly! He would respect her either way.
[13:40] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) Elenelle approaches the magicshop out of interest and knocks on the door first,"Vedui, and well meet." peaks in and takes a glance to who all is inside, ready to step back out if need be.
[13:47] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) couldn't help but blush a little at the compliments, her gaze flicking about the Tower with a faint smile. One hand lightly resting atop the counter as she nods "It is rather nice isn't it...?" softly murmured before moving towards the scrollcase as Elizabeth continues to speak. "Ah, indeed, the Phantom Assassin.. quite the intriguing spell..." Her soft hum on her breath became that trilling note that she used to find with. The glowing of the particular one she needed near the top, of course, a slight hop up on her toes and bouncing it into her grip as she spun about, tucking her wings to her shoulders, thenoffered the spellscroll up to Elizabeth. Business was business, and even if Meri wasn't all that enthused, well - appearances mut be maintained, hm? "I do quite hope you'll enjoy it. This particular one will be a silver piece." Granted not that she'd blink at it at all, but - twas the cost. The correspondence between Rei and Denny was sequestered away in the back of her head, and Elenelle's entrance met with a warm "Vedui', Elenelle... I'll be with you in just a moment." a smile offered then
[13:47] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) then returned her gaze back to Elizabeth for now.
[13:47] Merialeth Windstar: must*)
[13:50] Rei Anundr AldinRei Anundr Aldin (rei.lowtide) thought about the scroll they talked about. The Phantom Assassin... maybe Lady Elizabeth needed magic if she was having trouble finding others to get their hands dirty for her. Maybe he needed to expand his type of services to her. When a young woman stepped in to the tower, he pushed his back to the wall. Did Meri just call her 'Elenelle?' Why did so many people have such familiar names in Valesk?! He eyed the girl further, his lips frowning as he recalled seeing her. She was asking about the Anundrs once... he thought he recalled. Maybe he had been getting high too much? Either way, it was clear Rei was clearly grilling this young elven woman who had just stepped in.
[13:54] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) would smile at Rei and nod. "You do that, dahling. You know whe-ah to find me...Oh, pah-haps you don't...I've had the hall of Abahwyth rebuilt..." she'd pause for a moment, giving him an almost playful look. She knew...She was the only one who DID know..."and I can be found about the-ah." she'd purr. When Meri told her the price, Denny was...caught off guard. She expected to pay more than that. A silver was a drop in the pond for her. Had it been more though, she may have tried to haggle. And with her haggling skills, Meri might have ended up broke."A silvah? Oh, how mahvelous!" she'd exclaim, gesturing to Reginald, who would produce a coin from the purse he was tasked with carrying. The guard would then go up to Meri to make the transaction. At that point, Denny would turn to notice Elenelle. She'd smile at the elf, but wouldn't respond much, as she was likely heading out next post.
[13:56] Rei Anundr AldinRei Anundr Aldin (rei.lowtide) took his eyes back to Lady Elizabeth after staring at the young elven girl. "Ahh, I recall where it once stood. I will find you there."
[13:59] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) Elenelle smiles and nods to Merialeth,"oh it is no issue, just currious as to what this magic shop holds. I never really get to experience what commoners call shopping." boy what a little brat,"it is such an interesting experience." she glances to Rei and tilts her head, she caught his long look at her earlier,"forgive me, but do I know you? You look familiar and remind me of someone I use to know... but surely you can not be him" offering Rei a gentle smile.
[14:03] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) tilted her head at the comment about the Hall in Aberwyth, Meri'd not even noticed when she was at the tavern last, so much had changed lately... "Oh, congratulations, I hope that it serves well for the Village." Her smile still in place, and taking the coin from Reginald with a brief smile to him as well before moving back around the counter to place it in the lockbox. The soft chuckle on her breath as her head shook at Elizabeth's over-bright exclamation, having expected no less. A slight shrug of one wing and smile towards her and her guard both "Well I do try to keep things reasonable, after all, not everyone has your... resources at hand." The comment from Elennel snapped Meri's gace back to her, a lift of both brows and a soft snort on her breath. "We carry a wide range of items actually, dependent on what the caster or enchanter may need..." Elenelle's tone met with a hint of censure in Meri's from the attitude. Brat indeed. Her eyes however, darted aside at the long looks exchanged between Rei and Elenelle as she furrowed her brows briefly and finally returned her attention back to Elizabeth
[14:03] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) offering in her usual musical tones "If you should need something else, please do let me know, and a pleasant day to you."
[14:12] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) smiled sweetly at Meri. "Oh, you realleh must come see it, dahling. Of cawse, you we-ah so teddibleh impohtant to the banishing of the blight...I'll be cahtain the-ah is a place for you at the table dyudding Satuhdays feast the-ah. You will be attending, yais?" she'd prompt, basically commanding the avariel to come to her party. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE. "And I know, dahling. I shall have to make a donation to you-ah business at some point. So the less fohtunate can gain access to spells. In fact, we realleh mahst talk about magic eventualleh. But for now, I mahst go." she'd purr, turning about and starting out the door as abruptly as she had came. "It was a pleasyah talking to you all. Thank you /devastatingly/ for the scroll, dahling. Tatteh-bye!"
[14:15] Rei Anundr Aldin (rei.lowtide) laid his hand on the sheath of his sword and gave it a death grip as the young elf came closer. He couldn't have leaned any further against the wall as the girl came up to him. A man who would burn down buildings and fields without blinking an eye, appeared very discomforted from a young woman. "I come and go out of Valesk. You have probably seen me around," he responded vaguely to the girl. "The commoners are the corner stone of any noble's success. Best to learn all ya' can about the commoners day to day," he interjected harshly. Rei either didn't like the girl, or was completely terrified of her. It was a fine line. When Lady Elizabeth left he'd dip his head. "Fair winds m'lady," he said as such a commoner by not pronouncing the full title. After this, he weaseled his way out of being cornered by the young elf and stood behind Meri - as if she could protect him from the girl.

For Social Standing Rank up (3 of 6) 11/2/2015 Killing with Kindness isn't exactly a practical notion. And it certainly didn't work in the case of the Druid. Thankfully, Denny is a woman without morals, and so is more than willing to drive people to suicide simply out of fear. While she isn't exactly imposing, a scary face may just do the trick! Thus, she begins to practice hard to find a face that will cause someone to take the 'easy way' out of facing her.
[16:31]Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) came out of her luxurious apartment with a rather ornate mirror in her hands. It seemed to be made of solid gold and was COVERED in diamonds and rubies. The woman was rather focused on the mirror, making rather menacing faces into it. As if she was purposefully trying to be terrifying. Reginald was, for the most part, busy ensuring the woman didn't walk into anything while she was focused on her reflection. "Good evening, daaaaaahlings!" she'd coo at the patrons in the Tavern, without even looking up from her mirror.
[16:35] Kindo fiddled with his duster until he could pull out a few bits of copper from the coin purse at his back. Unceremoniously his attempt to pay for his drink was hampered by the sudden striking of wax against his head. The candle clapped hard into the mass of dreaded hair on his head, crumbling before it managed to hit the floor. Kindo's head shifted stiffly toward Elka, who he glared at with a brow viced down in hostility. "I'll ge' ya' for tha'...an' et'll look like a bloody accident." He'd never do it, and she knew that. Kindo waited until Helga was fully done and ready before he extended the coins to Helga and received his hot rum. He clasped his hands on the sweet dose of liquid serenity and took it to the table Elka rested at. He'd stare pensively at the amber liquid resting in the cup, wondering how best to exact his revenge before taking his first drink. He croaked with a satisfied sigh, placing the still warm tankard down on the table. Kindo's gaze came up from his cup to spot the Lady drolling as she d
[16:35] KindoKindo while gazing into her mirror.
[16:37] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident)Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) arched an unamused brow towards Caileans smirk and look and then gave a bit of a glare to Cedar, not a mean one, just one that said she wished she knew what the lippy little fae had whispered, but that was immediately forgotten as an unfamiliar voice got her attention. It was a sound that caused her to cringe slightly and her gaze followed the woman with the mirror part of her waiting and hoping for her to run into something and smash her face into the mirror and perhaps a wall. It would be entertaining at least, but it would seem that even if it did happen she wouldn't see it because she was being threatened and that was far more important than watching the woman play smashy face, "You could try and I can give you a matching bruise to the one already on your ribs. I don't mind."
[16:38] Nadora Toza (marissa.ludlow) slips in to the tavern quietly while everyone else is chatting. Her falcon, who is her usual companion is no where to be found. She holds a small book in her hands and a quill and makes her way to the corner and away from the crowd. She would open the book once she found her seat and begin to scribble words onto the page.
[16:45] Cailean (Alistair Greymyst)Cailean (Alistair Greymyst) watched the candle as it sailed through the air, bouncing off of Kindo's head and.. crumbling? How the hell did that happen? Were those dreads like hardened spines? Was Kindo actually an insect with a carapace? Either way, candles were expensive, yo -- beeswax wasn't easily come by! He'd add it to Elka's tab. Or something, since she was clearly the perpetrator of this heinous crime. Or they could just melt the candle back together, if they didn't smash it underfoot at some point. "If you two are going to get into it, take it outside," he intoned pleasanty. "My bet's on the big guy though." He gave a casual glance toward Cedar as she milled about near the entrance, and Nadora as she came in, then looked back to Kindo and Elka. "On second thought, she looks like the sorta' woman who'd kick a man between the legs."
[16:50] Little Tree (Cedar Ashland)Little Tree (Cedar Ashland) spared a glance for Nadora as the blonde entered and then went back to her persual of the archway before her. A thoughtful hum, a step forward to press a hand against the wall there. A tilt of her head and a frown as she considered and a brief surge of magic, testing, gaging her magic against the weight of the autumnal chill outside. Lady Mont d'Or's entrance was noted by the fae's hearing but as she was in such heavy contemplation of the archway before her she entirely missed the gilded mirror.
[16:51] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) actually pulled the mirror away from her face to smile at those inside. As she did so, the mirror would shift the light it cast, striking the crowns...Yes, crown/s/...That she was wearing, and sending the refracted light from a hundred sparkling gems bouncing throughout the Tavern. "Isn't it jahst /divine/ out today? Oh I do so ado-ah autumn. The col-ahs are so veddeh veddeh maaaahvelous!" looking back at her mirror again, she'd strike another malevolent expression, as if she was trying quite hard to frighten herself. Without looking back up, she'd put forth a question. "Cailean, dahling, whatevah happened to you-ah eye?"
[16:57] KindoKindo tongued the inside of his cheek idly, thinking he'd get off easily on that line of threat he'd blown up Elka's skirt. But no such luck. "Oh ya'? Ya' reckon yer' gonna slip round me two nights anna' row? I'd like ta' see that." Kindo took a large drink off the top of his tankard and clapped the bottom of the metal cup on the wooden table with a hollow sounding 'tonk!' His shoulders rolled back to nudge out of the fur vest, clearly very serious about how he was going to instigate his own ass beating. Caliean's voice hit him at the back and Kindo immediately rolled his head to gaze upon the man as well as point to him. "Awolright, souns' like yer' takin' the action then. I wanna' five cut on whatever yer' take is, friend." He was glad enough to hear the man take him as the winning horse in the race, only to suddenly shift to an expression of dismay. Though he couldn't fault the man's logic, it seemed that Elka's wiles were well beyond even her.
[17:05] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident)Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) frowned at Cailean, "We aren't taking it anywhere. A lady can't fight in a dress, that's crass and rude." A smile threatened to form on her lips, but she bit her tongue to hold it back. Before she could say anything more she was blinded by a thousand little rays of sunlight thanks to the woman in red. Her hand came up to block her eyes as her head turned and she scowled at Kindo for feeding into it all.
[17:08] Nadora TozaNadora Toza (marissa.ludlow) waves a hand at Helga as she comes over to her. She ordered a goblet of wine, though her purse was becoming woefully light. She didn't want to just sit and write, most business owners didn't like it much when you loitered in their establishment. She continued to write, her movements graceful and careful. She would push a stray strand of hair behind her ear every now and then when the unruly pieces would flop into her face.
[17:18] Cailean (Alistair Greymyst)Cailean (Alistair Greymyst) grinned at Kindo. Didn't know him, but he liked the man well enough already. Seemed like a decent bastard and the isle was in short supply of decent bastards. Plenty of bad bastards and goodly bastards, but not the nice and level decent bastard that he tended to get along with. Which reminded him, what the hell was Batman up to? It'd been awhile since he'd knocked down he and Cedar's door. Literally. He grinned slightly and turned his attention away from the pair, only to look toward Nadora again. Reminded him of someone, coming in here and reading and writing like that -- ah, Meri. That's right. Huh. "Fae by the name of Beanna took it," he said with exaggerated lightness, masking the sense of sadistic pleasure he'd have while having that conversation beneath it. "I'm looking to have a word with her."
[17:22] Little Tree (Cedar Ashland)Little Tree (Cedar Ashland) was focused upon the project, the question in need of answer, before her - but not to such extent that Cailean's name being spoken went unnoticed. Nor more that there was question asked about his eye. She'd have turned a look towards Cailean if it weren't for the sudden barrage of scattered light dancing upon her vision, refractions from the gilded mirror she hadn't taken note of prior. A small hand lifted, shielding her gaze as she squinted, seeking out the offensive point of the distracting light's origin and then realise what had made it. Sighing a bit when the mirror was once more settled, Cedar turned a glance finally to Cailean. A brow lifted in his direction - they'd already spoken about Beanna and how they couldn't be sure till they checked the fae's eye color. But, well, Cailean was on a path of vengeance and she doubted he'd stay his hand for so small a detail, which only made Cedar's frown grow. "No' sure if'n it be somat I can jus' cast like," she called over to Cailean in answer of an
[17:22] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) earlier question. "Migh'nt be needin' ta enchant tha archways fer the effect ta take hold, aye?" Glancing to Lady Mont d'Or, Cedar bobbed her head with a brief smile. Helga, naturally, rushed to the woman to see if there was anything she desired. "Mun go an' speak wi' Meri on tha matter, do think," Cedar said and turned to head out of the tavern, warmed cider still held between her hands. ((thanks for the RP guys. gonna go break a little bit before the class now.))
[17:24] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) smiled as she heard what Elka said. "At least /someone/ undahstands..." she cooed, lowering her mirror again to look back up at Cailean. The mention of Beanna made her smirk. "I suppose one can nevah realleh trust the fae, hmm? Well, that is quite a piteh, dahling. Although you do look quite debona-yuh with the patch. I actualleh have an old one covahed in diamonds. If I find it, I'll give it to you. A bit of an upgrade." because of course the woman had a diamond covered eyepatch. The woman would then flash a little smile at Cedar, before returning her attention back to the mirror. Quite suddenly, she would contort her face into that of a hissing phantom.
[17:24] (Unnamed): Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or rolls R11 (IoV:#dd73#): 11 - SS to Scare self
[17:24] (Unnamed): Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or rolls R5 (IoV:#7483#): 19 - Resolve to not get scared by self
[17:32] (Unnamed): Kindo rolls R5 (IoV:#340e#): 8 - Rolling on that Spooky Face
[17:35] KindoKindo was resigned only to roll his eyes at Elka. It might have been quite fun to take their fighting carnival act for a test drive out in front of a crowd, but the lady just wasn't taking the bit. With a soft 'hmph,' Kindo shrugged the vest back onto his shoulders and sighed. Calling back over to Caliean, Kindo lamented to him "Sorry lad. Looks as though tha' lady isna' quite in the mood ta' put some bite behind er' bark." He turned back over to his drink and took it up to throw the remainder down the hatch. Kindo glanced around to the various character's in the room, appreciating some livelihood outside of the Singarti for a change. The Smith slowly lumbered out of his seat just in time to catch a glimpse of the Lady's horrific visage. Something about it brought to mind visions of fire and bears! How horrid. Kindo promptly reeled backward and fumbled over the seat's platform at knee level. The Therian buckled and toppled backward onto his ass while shoving the chair out from beneath him so hard it hit the wal
[17:35] KindoKindo behind him with a harsh, unmistakable clatter.
[17:38] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident)Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) over heard Cailean talking about his eye and she'd mumble, "Shame it didn't take your tongue instead." Of course she was just teasing, perhaps not that it was likely that she was heard. She had pushed her chair out to leave as well seeing Kindo stand. It was time to make like a baby and head out. But then behind her there arose such a clatter she turned around to see what was the matter and saw Kindo falling backwards. She barked a laugh as she turned and strolled out of the tavern figuring once he handled his shit and quit getting scared like a little girl he'd be along.
[17:39] Nadora TozaNadora Toza (marissa.ludlow) blew lightly across the page to dry the ink after she finished writing. She would leave the book open for a few moments while she drank her wine to make sure her work wasn't ruined. She jumped a little when Kindo hit the wall with his chair and her eyes widened. She really hoped no one was going to start a fight. She hadn't been paying much attention to what was going on around her to be honest. She picked up her book and just as quietly as she had arrived, made her way out of the tavern once more.
[17:40] Cailean (Alistair Greymyst)Cailean (Alistair Greymyst) chuckled. "I don't think I'll need that, but I appreciate the offer. I just don't want people assaulting me for my eyepatch." He nodded toward Denny, but then Cedar was trailing off and so Cailean followed after. He cast a glance backward, just in time to see Kindo spill out of his chair, and then disappeared around the corner.
[17:42] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) was, immediately, severely disappointed by her own scary face. It didn't do a think for her. Wasn't a good sign, really, as she was trying to make herself more intimidating, so she could perfect the art of making people kill themselves. A pout would form on her plump obsidian lips...At least, until she heard the chair fly up against the wall. She perked up, and looked over towards Kindo. Well, it may not have worked on her, but it worked on him! She supposed that was probably because it isn't exactly possible to startle ones self. Whether or not the Forge Masters reaction was actually a result of her 2spoopy5me face, or, like, a spider crawling up his leg, she didn't know. But she'd just assume the best and smile. "Well, the offah stands!" she'd exclaim happily, before parading back out, spirits high, to continue practicing her spoops.

For Social Standing Rank up (4 of 6) 11/7/2015 With the Lady of Aberwyth long gone and the council in ruins, Denny has seen decided that the time is right to take over. Due to her position as Regent and the lack of other viable leaders, she knows well that she won't be questioned. But such a thing cannot happen through hearsay. Thankfully, she just so happened to be holding quite a feast! It is the perfect time. All she has to do is make the announcement.
[17:13] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) wasn't planning to stay settled in her chair for long, though. After sipping her claret for a few moments, and then getting a refill from one of the servants, the woman would rise back up from her seat again. She'd smile at Oisin, and lay a gentle, gloved hand upon his shoulder, before again clanging her spoon against the crystal chalice. "Now, dahlings, I don't mean to inteddupt you-ah feasting...Cahtainleh I encouddage you to continue gathedding you-ah food. But, I do have a few announcements I would like to make, and you-ah eah for them would be greatleh appdeciated"
[17:14] Sira'KessSira'Kess laughed with jovial mirth as Gea claimed the whole plate of oysters. He shake his head lightly with a smile and stand to walk to the center table, Makki in front of him. Upon reaching the the oysters, the man would simply take up the platter from the center table and place it in front of Gea. He'd look to Lady Mont-d'Or with a somewhat apologetic look on his face. "You'll have to forgive me, she has a weakness for oysters." The man would laugh lightly then gather a plate for himself before returning to his seat.
[17:14] KindoKindo had been as quiet as a bear in armor through the whole procession, keeping his eye on a swivel and doing his best not to engage or speak. It was without saying such fanciful events weren't his preference. He'd gotten so comfortable being out of the zone in fact, that he barely noticed his arm being fiddled with until the air around it stung his freshly sliced flesh. It seemed even though he had elected not to eat, Elka didn't feel the same. Elka might have had her fun in drinking from his veins and making faces at the other guests, but Kindo was less enthusiastic.
[17:15] OisinOisin (killzonecharlie) would get himself a glass of gin and sit back down beside Elizabeth. He would them pluck some mint leaves from his hair and crush them into his glass. Surely this was poor manners, but Oisin wasn't particularly concerned if people noticed. If anything it was resourceful. Perhaps some liquid encouragement would loosen his tongue.
[17:15] NixieNixie (adalori) listened to the prayer with a tilted head, laughing lightly as Gea chose her preference in food and her muttering to the male. "You will both get far too large to swim if you fed him every time he behaved Gea'ndros." purring the words out with amusement and following Sira'Kes up to get a plate of her own, dodging people and picking a few of the more rare morsels of meat she could find and put onto her plate. As Elka stared she just raised an eyebrow at her, amusement on her features and no more mind paid to the Alpha than the rest, after getting a goblet of something red, settling back down in her seat with a roll of her eyes at the pair on her right she'd turn her attention to Denny as she spoke, nibbling on the nearly bleeding meat on her plate.
[17:16] Ephralia: Eph tells Rizzo, "Nice t' meetcha, Rizzo! So I guess you're not a transformed prince with a curse on him, huh? Check. Milord canceled." then Eph straightens up and leans toward Nadora, "Nadora, you look 'waaaaay different without your hawk!"
[17:16] Elenelle: ((brb, round two of not being roadkill lol))
[17:17] Emmaline Anundr Aldin: The guard brought back two plates laden with enough food for four people and two mugs of wine. Emma slipped hers down to the Kobold, then asked if she could get one more. The guard didn't even flinch, just did as he was bid. Emma handed down a huge slice of venison to Rizzo. That ought to keep him busy for a bit. She knew Elenelle would only pick at her food, but Emma was known for her...appetite, and she dug in wiith gusto, trying not to look too piggish.
[17:17] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) tipped her head, watching the others move to pluck up the food, her own place before her still empty as she watched about her. It was nice to see everyone happy - or well mostly so, and enjoying themselves. As Elizabeth lifted to her feet again, Meri'd flick her attention that direction and listen with her head tilted to discover these announcements that were pending with a glance over at Emma and the others as if to ensure that all was well before relaxing yet again..
[17:17] Crystiel ThistlebushCrystiel Thistlebush smiles and nods as she prayer and the declaration of food was offered. she would snap her fingers while starring at the far food table. a slice of bread followed by a small bunch of grapes would lift off the table and start hovering up, land on a plate and then float slowly before her. She didnt see any small cups on the drink table so she reaches into her own satchel and pulls out a small thimble sized mug, made out of some kind of large Nut and floats it back to the wine table, the Pitcher floats up on its own and pours a few drops, into her mug. as it floats back to her The Hosted said something about announcements and she remains quiet so she could listen as she picks up a grape and starts eating it like an apple.
[17:22] Rizzo the Kobold (RizoKobold Minotaur)Rizzo the Kobold (RizoKobold Minotaur) took the slab of venison with a happy squeak and gnaws on it watching the legs near him and listening to the boring talk about people and things he didnt know
[17:22] ArcturusArcturus (arcturushighking) would tilt his head as the Lady spoe up about making announcements, he'd sit there still with the goblet in his hand, he hadn't drank yet but he'd wait until after she spoke
[17:23] Sira'Kess: ((Will be mowing on food till Gea reloggs or is interacted with just IM me))
[17:27] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) continued on with her pleasantries, completely unaware of Elka's hijinks right beside her,. No, she was too busy laughing at Gea. "Oh, it's quite alright, dahling. Who doesn't?" she'd assure Sira, before catching a sight of what Oisin was making. Certainly rude, but if the mint hadn't come from his hair it may have been a good concoction. But she couldn't get distracted. She had a takeover to announce. "Now, it is impahtant to note, dahlings, that it was not Valeska alone who freed us from the blight. It was the combined effohts of the nations of Valesk, and the Champions as well. " she'd purr, looking around at Kindo, Sira, and Makki. "But eveddehbodeh had a paht to play. Unfohtunateleh, Abahwyth was not involved. And for this, I...We...Are deepleh soddeh. You all, no doubt know, that we have lost Lady Valkeddeh. You no doubt also know that our Manse was buhned down...And many of you may even know that the Savages of Haven have annexed Lowah Abahwyth using militaddeh might beyond any on the island. >
[17:27] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) < It has been a hahd time for our citeh, and I apologize for our lack of involvement in ridding the island of the blight. In response to these issues, as some of you may know..." she'd pause for a moment, before making the announcement. "I have assumed Regenceh of the Citeh of Abahwyth, until fuhthah notice. I will be activeleh looking for a successoh, but until then, I shall be in chahge. So, let us leave the past whe-ah it belongs, dahlings...And look fohwahd to a new fyu-chah...A New Abahwyth!" she'd exclaim, raising her glass to toast to her own peaceful usurping of the throne.
[17:29] Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident)Elka Petrova (Adylin Resident) would absolutely answer Makki's question if she ever was actually asked it, since it seems the events of that day, and apparently a few others, were clearly all kinds of misconstrued. When Elizabeth stood to talk, she turned her focus to her and lowered Kindo's arm and pulled out the strips of cloth she carried around these days and wrapped them around his wrist, listening.
[17:31] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) Gea'ndros locked eyes on that platter of oysters, a knowing glance to Nixie as she wiggled clawed fingers over the spread "Oh.. He gets other treats when he behavies I assure you.." She'd pluck a particularly.. fat.. oyster from the bed of ice and bring it to her lips. In one motion her tongue had scooped out the insides, and brought it into her mouth to slide down her throat. omnomnom
[17:33] Makkitotosimew (Kaija Arai)Makkitotosimew (Kaija Arai) would likely get around to asking of sorts some day but...now wasn't the time. Even if she was miffed, she could still be talked at. One may just have to dangle a shiny in front of her to momentarily distract her. But of course she didn't know any of those thoughts were going on and wasn't having them herself. She was chowing down. When Elizabeth spoke, she peeked her head out from under the table and looked to her quietly. Once she was done, Makki tentatively raised a hand. "Yas not ta be makin ah rule tha people 'as'ta wear stoofs like this all'a times, are yas? Or....like yas stuffs?" That was apparently the most important thing on her mind since she'd also asked similar when she got bumped up to noble of the fae. "Ah think ahs ta be stayin a critter more often if that be tha case. Odderwise, 'ongrat'lations! Ah think....yah? Good thing?"
[17:34] Door Villa 3: gadget Cyberstar is at the door.
[17:34] Tavern Room 1: You've just gone over your land impact limit at The Full Moon (57,149,73). Please reduce your prim usage!
[17:35] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) flicked a glance up at Elizabeth as she spoke, a lift of her brow as she went on about... Haven? What the heck was a Haven? Well, other than the obvious... Her eyes flicked away to glance at Viveka across the table in concern, knowing the Den was down there and well, a few other things... then shifted her gaze back at the rest of the pronouncement. Hm - well that was interesting... Meri obviously wasn't up on the current Aberwyth situation, but hey, if people were taken well care of, then that worked for her.
[17:36] Merialeth Windstar: (gr early enter)
[17:36] Merialeth WindstarMerialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) nodded then and murmured a quiet "Well, at least there will be something of interest up here..." how it would affect the Tavern and such too, well who knew.
[17:37] Sira'KessSira'Kess would redden deeply as he took a drink of wine and would smile widely. He'd wink and lean in to Gea "Only because your treats are so sweet." With that he'd coax her face in his direction with a finger and kiss her before another one of those oysters spoiled the attempt.
[17:38] Viveka (Themis Adasia)Viveka (Themis Adasia) made no comment about things like the Haven or anything like that. She just went with the flow and fit in where she needed to, trying to not make waves along the way. She tried to stay neutral. It's how she always survived. She had mixed feelings on everything that was going on and decided it was simply better to learn more before taking any kind of action of any sort in any direction. She'd lift her glass that she'd totall gotten to the praising of everyone involved in helping rid the island of the blight.
[17:38] Emmaline Anundr AldinEmmaline Anundr Aldin (emmaline.mynx) didn't so much as raise an eyebrow at Lady Elizabeth's admitted takeover of Aberynth. This was an interesting bit of happenstance, to be sure. Well, Lady Elizabeth had pretty much controlled most of Aberynth anyway. This might be a good thing, but time would tell. Humans were as unpredictable as they were short-lived. She slipped Rizzo a quarter of a chicken.
[17:40] Rizzo the Kobold (RizoKobold Minotaur)Rizzo the Kobold (RizoKobold Minotaur) moves a bit to skulk a bit closer to the food table but then gets nervous with people talking about haven and he settled back on the floor near Emma and takes the chicken and bites into it bones and all mumbles a thank you as his jaw gnows on the feast
[17:42] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) Gea'ndros let her head be turned as she set empty shells on the plater. She'd return the kiss, nipping at that bottom lip just a touch before she pulled away, and offered both Nixie, Sira and the drow to her right an oyster before the sea witch devoured them all. "You flatter me.. keep it up and I'll be sure the winds are kind to you tonight.."
[17:42] Crystiel ThistlebushCrystiel Thistlebush claps to the Lady Hostess for her accention to at least trying to pull the reigns of the town....its been too chaotic in town as of late, it was past time for some stability. then goes back to eating her grape and washing it down with a sip of her wine.
[17:42] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar)Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) steps into the dining hall in the newly built keep, thinking he'd have a look around to make sure everything is well after having finished cleaning up in the kitchen. Ducking instinctively under the doorway that was a little too low for his liking, he steps off to the side by the wall and would merely observe for now
[17:44] ArcturusArcturus (arcturushighking) tilted his head at the offered oyster before he'd take it, bringing it towards his lips before he'd slip his tongue out to suck the oyster meat back into his mouth.. he'd follow it with a drink of the wine, a warm smile playing across his face
[17:46] NixieNixie (adalori) watched everyone in turn, taking not of the goings on though her face would remain pretty neutral throughout, not showing expression at most of the proceedings. When Elizabeth spoke Nixie took note however, it was good to know who she would be needing to speak with in the future... After a brief raise of her glass in the ladies direction, she continued the nibbling on the morsels she had take, finally sipping from the goblet, a surprised look appearing on her face at the taste of wine, leaning towards Meri "Just what manner of drink is this?" she'd mutter quietly in question, asking either the Elf or the Fae beside her. Gea's offer wasn't missed and she'd take the offered food, sliding it onto her plate with the rest.
[17:47] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) was, thankfully, able to contain her evil laughter as her reign began unopposed. Time would tell if it continued unopposed, especially as she started to implement new laws Makki's question, too, kept the woman from going off on some kind of Disney Villain bender. "No, dahling, I won't be implements frivolous laws. But I /will/ be implementing laws. Things addound he-ah have gotten fah too lax. Myself, and my son Adadheleon, will bring this town back into a mo-ah functional state. Thusleh, I shall be addanging meetings will all of my fellow heads of state..." she'd look around at the other leaders on the island. " In due time. For now, I propose that we allow ou-ahsailves to relax, though, and to enjoy the bounteh that my wealth, and Valeska, have offahed us." and at that, she'd sit again, before looking at Oisin.. "Well, that went well."

For Social Standing Rank up (5 of 6) 11/24/2015 Her control over Aberwyth has remained completely uncontested, and yet it hasn't quite netted her the power she desired. Namely because the military in Aberwyth is in a rather miserable state. There is no Lord Commander, and there is no Captain. Something needed to be done, or she wouldn't have the might to enforce her rule. And so, as is her way, the woman gave herself the temporary title of Captain of the Aberwyth Guard, and set out on the streets to recruit...Only to find an old guard with a very obedient streak. Will her Authority as captain be challenged by this veteran? Or will her will be done?
[16:35] Liljana ObjorgLiljana Objorg is hit by the familiar smell of the tavern, the scent which said 'welcome back to Valesk', she took in a deep silent breath and looked about the tavern for familiar faces but to no avail. She let out a sigh until she heard noise behind her, the well known Lady Elizabeth standing before her caused a knee jerk reaction for Liljana to kneel in her presence. "My lady".
[16:36] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar)Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) looks down at the teeth with a frown... he has no problem with bartering... but teeth? He didn't do teeth. He was getting ready to explain the concept of money to the orc, but then... Sekai called out that she will take care of the tab, so he would bow his head to her, saying "You are most gracious, miss Sekai." which means {THANK you, I don't have to touch teeth or explain the mechanics of currency!} And so he would bob his head to the Orc to show it could enjoy the mead, then looks over to Gavinox "Seen Vik a few days ago, she came in to have her two basic food groups. Rum and rum cake." he chuckles "She seems to be doing just fine."
[16:42] Gavinox: "I c-c-could b-but-" He was stammering like crazy! "It'd make SSsick y-ya know?" And he really didnt need to be sick while the sun was still up. Maybe when it was night time and he had a boost of energy and all that he'd risk a drink with everyone. Right now though it'd ust make him miserable. "Cant keep it in."
Though Gerald telling him Vika was just fine made him feel so damned good. He liked her he wanted her to be ok. "Thank ya fer lettin me know mate."
To the Orc he waved the Green man over. "Ya wanna come sit wit us ey?" And why not?! "Ya make tha' weapon yerself IF I remember Orcs make their own when they're of age ya?"
[16:42] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) stood in her full regalia as always, furs, pearls and red satin draping over her slender form. As well, a little badge pinned to her bodice, with the sigil of the Aberwyth Guard. It wasn't like most guard badges though. This one had been bedazzled. With real diamonds. It glimmered brilliantly in the light of the late afternoon, sending refracted sunlight all over. As Liljana turned around, Denny would look her over. She looked vaguely familiar, but the womans memory was her poorest feature. Thankfully, her vague manner of conversation made up for that. "Good Aftahnoon, Daaaaahling! So veddeh good to see you again. You look fohmidable, as always." she cooed, before asking. "I pray you are well?" and making a little gesture with her hand for the armored woman to rise.
[16:45] Liljana ObjorgLiljana Objorg looks back up but doesn't make eye contact with the highborn out of sheer respect. "I am well and recently returned after a long journey, my lady". She spots the Aberwyth Guard sigil and immediately stands to attention, the inner trained soldier kicking in, she then stood to attention until addressed otherwise.
[16:46] Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora)Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora) walked carefully around the tavern, stopping besides the Lady Elizabeth to observe the crowd. "Mother, hope you are fairing well.." He said with a polite bow of his head, even bending a bit out of habit, though his gaze first obviously dropped on the woman kneeling before her. "How polite! How traditionally polite! You know dis one zen, Mother?" He inquired with a cheerful nod in said woman's direction. "She looks strong ahnd capable! Ahnd keeps her beauty up all ze while, no?" The golden, part-armored and flamboyantly outfitted man crossed one leg before the other, holding his left arm up by the elbow in a contemplating manner. The enchanted mask had a war, pleasant expression, wifts of platinum blonde hair capable of being seen under his hood.
[16:48] MayberryMayberry carefully makes her way into the town, following the most familiar scent at the moment; that of Sekai. Others might be familiar too, but she was definitely the most familiar. Soon enough, she carefully slipped into the tavern and waved towards Gerald. "Hello~." She says cheerfully towards him, before falling quiet and kind of waiting to see what was going on in the immediate area.
[16:50] Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident)Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident) chuckled a bit "whats wrong? wolf got your tongue?" she would tease "I never knew that about Vampires, they have never really been the talking type before" Sekai noticed more coming in, one of them the noble woman. Sekai would look to Gavin and whisper to him "want to go elsewhere?" she would ask him, as she remembered the situation last time. Then Mayberry came up, Sekai would chuckle "has my bed treated you well today sleepyhead?" she would ask her with a smirk. For now though Sekai wouldnt speak to those who were new unless addressed. To Gerald Sekai would smirk "dont mention it, but next time i may not be able to save you"
[16:53] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕнкнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн (matt.yetto) Drained half of the contents of the tankard before he came up for air. Wiping his mouth with his right arm, which offered no benefits due to the metal bracer. Hearing someone talking, only realizing that it was aimed at him when he heard the word 'orc'. Glancing over, he'd catch part of the wave and rather stiffly the slightly haunched over orc would make his way over. Pulling free his mace and rather freely placed the heavy weapon on the table top. " Dun mek dis..tuk it fro' a stuntie..Dum beardie funk 'e culd tek us.. den wuh finez dat it gud fer bashin in da 'eads..juz as gud as a choppa.." Slumping down into the seat opersit the couple. He'd bring his right arm up and rested his hand behind his head. Unfortunatly this would allow air to get into his armpit causing the rather noxious odor of orc musk and sweat to waft into the air. " Yuh 'ad deelinz wif orcs eh?" He'd ask as he stared at the two with almost unblinking watery yellowish eyes.
[16:58] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) chuckled playfully at the soldier as she stood at attention. "Oh, at ease, dahling, at ease. I am onleh the Captain of the Guahd in an infohmal capaciteh." she'd state, before going into further detail. "Things have been dreadful addound he-ah. Crime has grown exponentialleh. And so I assumed command of the ahmy for now, until I can find a suitable replacement. It is good you are back though, dahling. We need capable soldi-yahs." she purred, before looking up at her goliath progeny. "Ah, Addadhelon dahling. How delightful to see you. I am jahst lahvleh, dahling, and I hope the same can be said of you." she said to him, before looking back to Liljana. "Yais, dahling, yais. She is delightful, isn't she. And she may be jahst the one to deal with the Haven issue."
[17:00] Liljana ObjorgLiljana Objorg maintains her 'to attention' stance before Lady Elizabeth as Lord Aradhelon approaches while her eyes looked right ahead. At the order of being at ease her shoulders relax and she looks to the floor with her head in some permanent bow. "I am honoured to meet another as fair and noble as her ladyship.", she bends her knees in a small curtsy to the male. And with that she remained silent until addressed again.
[17:00] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar)Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) nods to Mayberry as she enters the tavern, saying "Hello there, miss Mayberry. Doing well, I hope." He'd then grin to Sekai, saying "Maybe not, but for now, I do appreciate it." Turning, he'd get himself a flagon and fill it with mead, before calling over "Remember, if'n anyone wants anything, just ask and I'll get it for ya."
[17:03] Gavinox: Oh no, Gavin knew that high pitched voice anywhere and as he stared out at the woman in red he tensed. What made things worse then seeing her? Seeing her with an Aberwyth badge?!?! Who the hell gave her that?! "That woman aint deserve a badge." He didnt shout it but he wasnt quiet about it either. Clearly he didnt hold the same respect for the Red woman that Lijana seemed to hold. Nope, only thing he held for her was contempt.
Then....someone else was coming into the Tavern, and she was just as half dressed as Sekai A seai that was in his lap..between the two of them he was likely to pass out. "Ello......"
As for Sekai's question. He just nod-nod-nodded. Yep wlf had his tongue.sked about leaving though he htought about it. "Ent sure I shouldn 'ave ta leave, but I ent like her so I might say somethin and that wont be good."
The Orc joining them and placing the mace on the table he looked away from the Red woman to the weapon. "Tha's nice weapon though. Taken or otha wise. Is it balanced it gud?" He
[17:03] Gavinox: ignored the head bashing part. No one here was getting their head bashed so he wasnt gonn make somehing of it when it wasnt being made a thing. "I used to 'ave a friend that were a Orc. He were a strong fella, carried a polearm and ould be sweet or mean as shit dependin."
[17:06] MayberryMayberry flashes a grin towards Sekai at that. "Yep!" She says cheerfully towards Sekai. "Warm, covered in lots of fur, and smells like a person." She nods towards Sekai. She was half-nocturnal anyway, so she just disregarded the sleepyhead comment. Aaaand then the orc sat down and lifted his arm. Mayberry took a couple of steps back, her nose wrinkling slightly as she fights the lightheadedness that came with that sudden strong smell. Oh god. Did he ever bathe!? She, rather quickly, decided that being over by the bar was definitely the better idea. It smelled like booze over there. Which was much preferable to consciousness-killing orc armpit. "It's an, uh, lovely weapon. That's for sure. Well suited for someone who likes to ... bash heads in." She comments with regards to the giant mace-hammer-...thing. "I'm doing fairly well, yes, sir Gerard. Can you make me another cup of that spiced mead?" She asks. She was totally planning on basically sticking her nose straight in it once she got it. It would be strong but
[17:06] MayberryMayberry least preferable to orc musk. Gavinox got a cheeky grin directed at him from Mayberry. "'Ello!" She says, giving a playful dancer-like sway of her hips at him, having noticed his look at her. Totally not helping poor Gavin, most likely.
[17:08] Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora)Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora) was easily flattered, or at least it appeared as such, and he began to chuckle in a bashful fashion, a hand touching his chest. "OH! Oh my! You ahre just a dove, really! Please, you might make me h'explode!" He remarked, straightening himself up with a clear of his throat. "Ah, ze "Haven". Yes, tis' getting ah bit, ah.... Out of hand, yes. But you 'ave ze best of judgements when it comes to ze noble ahnd capable... What was your name again, my dear? I ahm afraid I did not catch it, and if it was said... Well, maybe my long ears ahre not good for much afterall.. Hmm hm hm!" His wolf-companion sat a good ways back, staring forward with a grumpy expression at his aster's conversation style, and wiggling his nose at Elizabeths strong scent of alcohol.
[17:13] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕнкнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн (matt.yetto) Tilted his head for a moment then he'd hawk, trying to clean his throat. Khargol had only two moods, hungry and angry. And if he wasnt hungry, he was angry. Fortunately he was hungry or he'd have had . And then his brain would engage. Seeing how he only knew that humans bled, had gray stuff in their head and that they whernt too bad when roasted over a fire, or indeed raw. But when he heard the one who complimented his weapon for bashing heads in. He'd spit a glob of phlegm to the floor then grunted in his brash tone of voice " Dat un getz it....gud fer da bashin ov 'eadz. betta den a pokin stik...dat juz meks fings mad " He would trail off and then grunted " Khargol no see meny ov 'iz lot roun deez partz. Der otha gitz roun 'ere eh ?" He would
[17:13] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн: *would ask
[17:15] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar)Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) would nod to Mayberry, then turn to fetch the requested drink, warming the mead over the range before stirring in a spoon of cinnamon. He'd then pour it into a flagon and hand it over, saying "There ya go, lass. Enjoy!" It was about that time he got a whiff of something rank... it smelled like... like... the slums back home. That is, numerous unwashed bodies mixed with salty boiling foods, piss, and vomit on a hot summer day... ah that takes him back to childhood... which sucked. Needless to say he'd pull the scarf of his cloak up to cover his nose.
[17:15] Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident)Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident) would give a nod but as she was going to stand up the orc lifted his arm! the sensitive nose of the garou was bad and she was right infront of him. Suddenly Sekais face went right to Gavins chest and she latched onto him as she fought back a headache, it was all she could do not to pass out!
[17:16] Sekai Keita: sorry my momma called))
[17:17] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) couldn't help but smile at Liljana, either opting to ignore Gavinox or just not hearing him over the throng. "Dahling you are such an /uttah/ de-ah. Mannahs like you-ahs...Well, they make me feel like I'm back in court. Stromness, pah-haps. Of maybe even Denfjohd. Yais, definitely Denfjohd. The guahds in Stromness had no mannahs." she remarked, before her eyes shifted back up at her son. "Out of hand is a bit of an undahstatement, dahling. Aftah they annexed our lands...It's time for us to strike back." she'd say, her eyes moving to Liljana again."I don't suppose you have aneh easileh hidden weapons?"
[17:22] Liljana ObjorgLiljana Objorg responds softly to Aradhelon. "This one's name is Liljana Objorg my lord, a mere soldier". She offers a more extensive bow of her head, once Lady Elizabeth asks if she has any concealed weapons she immediately takes out a dagger from her boot before bending down on one knee and holding out the handle to Elizabeth with her head facing the ground. "
[17:28] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕнкнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн (matt.yetto) Glanced at the woman or man? Was he or she trying to eat its way through that other...she or he's chest?. He'd scowl slightly and brought his drink to his mouth. Tilting it back to take a drink, though there was barely a mouthful. Lowering his cup he'd grunt loudly " Der Bazdahdz! sum git bin 'alf inchin me drink. Culda sworn dat it woz 'alf full. " He'd tip the cup upside down to try and get the dregs. Slamming the empty cup on the table, he'd grasp at the shaft of his mace with his right hand. Dragging it, making a metal on wood scraping sound as it scored against the wooden surface.
[17:29] Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora)Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora) 's attention was stolen for a moment by the Orc in the distance, his golden eyes shimmering with thought. He had a set of strong senses himself, though not nearly enough to track anyone as a beast or shifter could. What he could do was have an idea of how the people smelt in a certain area, and while his mask stayed in a quiet, happy mood, he flicked his tongue under neith a couple of times, and deeper under the layers of glamour, said tongue was forked and attentive. Something smelt like the wild, and though he did not have the ability to be displeased, disgusted or anything of the like, he had what he thought was valuable, and what was not. He wanted to spray the Orc with perfume to improve his social ability. This thought happened quickly, his eyes flickering down to the armored soldier and a softer smile spreading on his mask's face. "Nay, my dear Liljana. Noht mere." He replied kindly. He could tell by the taste of her aura, of course. He had been trained to ignore perfectly the discomfort of such
[17:29] (Unnamed)(Unnamed) due to the nature of Elizabeth, his old allies and countless others, but it was still recognizable. "Zen you perhaps plan to send er' down zhere?" He remarked. "Noht alone, I hope..."
[17:31] Gavinox: "There used ta be...I 'eard Xlog lost one of his battles though." He wasnt sure how else to phrase that. Yeah 'he died' but....hey. "Avent seen any since I been 'ere....sorry mate. But ey it means all the more head bashin and weapons fer ya ta take fer yer own ya?" Also thank the Gods he was used to Orc stink.
Ooooh he ws distracted there was hip wiggling.....then he was both embarrassed AND he felt bad. She was staying with Sekai! Then again Sekai was in his lap. Was it bad he was watching hip wiggles? Aw hell he didnt know....He pulled his hat down though so he coud hide his face some.
"Eeee!" There was a Sekai face in his chest! He flailed and then held her and because he didnt know what else to do! "Small breaths Sekai...small mouth breaths." And thankfully for her Gavin smelled good. Contrary to popular belief he did not in fact smell of death. He actually smelled like spiced orange peel.
He was tensing again though hearing the Red woman. "Maybe we should go after all ey?" He told Sekai, because he
[17:31] Gavinox: was losing his good sense of keep his mouth shut. He'd been a stormness guard thank you!
Nooo the scraping sound with all the noise in the tavern had Gavins shoulders squishing towards his ears. Those were sensative and now on over load. It was like that fork scraping the plate sound! Ick!
[17:34] Nénmacil VanafîndönNénmacil Vanafîndön (vanafindon) without so much as changing out of his court clothes, made his way towards where he last saw the alpha. His sharp eyes flicked over those outside before his gaze settled on Sekai in the same corner she had been the night prior. Upon slipping inside the tavern, an assortment of, eh hem, odors assailed him and he stopped in his tracks a good 15 feet away. His face was difficult to read but his nose was slightly wrinckled...
[17:36] MayberryMayberry rummages around in a pouch for a moment, before carefully pulling out a small handful of copper, which she sets on the counter for Gerald, pushing it towards him carefully. "Thank you." She says, before holding the spiced mead up in front of her nose and quietly inhaling. Mmm. spiced mead. ... With a side of orc. Still, it was better than just the orc bit. She glances towards the orc. "Poking stick? Do you mean a spear?" She asks curiously towards the orc, taking a sip of the mead afterwards. Much better. Booze, better scents, and conversation. Yeah! It was almost like home. Only home involved nomadic tents but that's beside the point. Gavin's reaction was watched with mild bemusement on Mayberry's face, as she took another sip of her mead. Hmm. Did this count as torture of a sort for the man? Possibly. She cringed slightly at the scrape of the mace on the wood. Oh that would not be easy to fix. "Yes, perhaps somewhere else might not be a terrible idea." She comments towards Gavin. On the upside, she stil
[17:36] MayberryMayberry had her spiced mead to curb the odors.
[17:38] Ephralia Valor (Ephralia Resident)Ephralia Valor (Ephralia Resident) slowly ambles by in the plaza, aiming perhaps for the Warden's keep, albeit in her own armor-plated sweet time.
[17:39] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) managed not to chuckle at the military efficiency with which Liljana presented the dagger. If not stopped, she'd reach slowly out and take it gently from the womans hands, before turning it over and judging the weapon. It certainly seemed like something that could get past her guards down in Haven. She'd turn it back over and hold the handle out to Liljana just as the soldier had done towards her. "This cahtainleh should do. Keep it hidden, dahling....Steal away into Haven...And find out what you can. And should you see a drow in a red cloak? Do your best to cap-cha him. Howevah, you-ah life is mo-ah impohtant than success. If you cannot succeed, retreat." she'd caution, before Reginald, her guard chimed in, cheering on Liljana. "Give that mountebank a proper thrashing! And how! Wot wot!"
[17:39] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕнкнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн (matt.yetto) Pulled his mace onto his lap, it felt somewhat comforting to have his weapon so close. Then again it had been with him for so many years..Had bashed..His monologue would pause as he brought up his right hand. Was he counting? though his face would show some form of heavy concentration as he seemingly struggled with the digits of his hand. In the end he gave up as he heard 'poking stick' and 'you mean spear right?
[17:39] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн: damn enter key ))
[17:40] Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident)Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident) yelped at the sound now and clung more to Gavin! "get me out" she would whimper out, she wasnt used to smells like that AND her nose just couldnt handle it, it was a bad combo. Sekai wouldnt notice anything else at the moment as she cringed from the sound and the smell and everything!
[17:41] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar)Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) was worrying about just this right now... the table... that poor table! What damage was done with that one careless act to his table, and what would he have to do to repair it?! Bringing his hands up to the side of his head, he would close his eyes and pretend that it never happened. One of the best things he can do, is just make pretend... yes... it never happened... his table isn't damaged... much better. Opening his eyes, he would look around the room, making sure that everyone was tended to... well Sekai and Gavin were both freaking out, but... eh.
[17:41] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕнкнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн (matt.yetto) Pulled his mace onto his lap, it felt somewhat comforting to have his weapon so close. Then again it had been with him for so many years..Had bashed..His monologue would pause as he brought up his right hand. Was he counting? though his face would show some form of heavy concentration as he seemingly struggled with the digits of his hand. In the end he gave up as he heard 'poking stick' and 'you mean spear right?' His head would turn as he looked to the person. " dats rite..pokin' stik..speer. Woteva yer wanna call 'em. Dey bof as gud az eech otha. Nah yer wanna uz sumfin' 'eavy..den dey dun gerrup or nuffin"
[17:48] Gavinox: Good thing about being a dead guy? He was stronger then he looked, more so at night so as Sekai said 'get me out' he wasnt gonna argue he just stood with her in his arms and held against his chest. "Ey mate was good meetin ya but we gotta go. Enjoy yer drink ey?"
He gave a nod to Gerald too. "See ya mate and thanks again."
To May he he made the head bobble 'come on you too' gesture and he left the Tavern.
[17:52] MayberryMayberry yep. Could definitely empathize with Sekai right now. She finishes off her mead quickly, before glancing towards Khargol, "Sometimes! Spears can be good in certain situations. Do take care sir orc!" She says towards him, before moving to follow after Gavin, because she was so not going to complain about wandering off to somewhere less populated and with less smells -- strong or otherwise.
[17:53] Liljana ObjorgLiljana Objorg remains knelt down until Elizabeth takes the dagger. Her holy aura was a product of long term faith and connection with celestials during her upbringing, along with elves who fought for the greater good. She then stands up and takes the dagger before returning it to her boot, standing up straight and saluting to Elizabeth. "As your ladyship commands", she then bows to Aradhelon. "My lord". Liljana wasn't really paying too much attention to the others around her until the yelp of the female in the tavern, she looks over as she begins to march away but spotting various elves capture her attention, and a nostalgic feeling beings to stir inside her.
[17:55] Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident)Sekai Keita (AnnabelleCross Resident) just continues to cling to Gavin as he carries her, she would however give a slight wave of her hand to those around saying goodbye, once out of the tavern she would take a deep breath but was really really dizzy "stop spinning in circles Gavin!" she would say still trying to make light of the situation
[17:56] Gavinox: Oh god! Orc Smells, too many sounds, Holy Auras and an Ephi!!! Yup it was time to GTFO!
[17:57] кнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕнкнαгgσℓ gнσгвαѕн (matt.yetto) Gave a slight grunt " Latahz git " He'd grunt adding " wuld ratha 'ave a speer in da gut den a bash ta der 'ead. " Though the nice words of 'sir orc' would be lost on him. Unless that was the name of a pie and he was going to get a huge wedge all to himself to eat. His fingers would tap against the shaft of his mace as he looked down at it.
[18:00] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar)Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) waved to everyone as they left the tavern, and would hum... aah, you get business you lose business, that's the way of the game... but at least they ordered some things before leaving, that made him happy. He would take a sip of his mead and look about the tavern "Not too bad of a day..." he'd say to noone in particular.
[18:00] Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora)Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora) watched the woman seemingly obey without argument, finding the entire experience a bit refreshing after many months of different temperaments. "Well. Zhat was quick." He finally commented to his mother. "Tis nice to see you ahre acquiring such noble soldiers... How exciting indeed!" He remarked, reaching into his cloak to pull out a small collection of identical papers. "Ahnd to zhink, I only came here to alert Gerald-dear of the upcoming Wintry Market I 'ave set up! Can't chance a shot to boost ze economy, no?" He chimed, offering her a slip before waving in said Gerald-dear's direction. "Yoo hoo~! Gerald-dear! You 'andsome man, you..."
[18:00] Ephralia Valor (Ephralia Resident)Ephralia Valor (Ephralia Resident) happens to be outside the tavern. She narrows her eyes at the sight of Sekai and Gavin. Fortunately for Gavin, Eph is a mite distracted. She just mutters, "Ech. No accounting for taste, I suppose." as it's too late to really intervene in the possible wolf-napping in progress. Besides, if she really was the Alpha, she should be able to defend herself. Eph shakes all that off and smiles to Lilijana, murmuring, "Greetings to you!"
[18:03] Liljana ObjorgLiljana Objorg smiles warmly at Ephralia as she marches past. "Vedui' mellonamin", she bows her head to the elf before marching off on a mission.
[18:06] Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident)Lady Elizabeth Mont-d'Or (ValerieVixxen Resident) blinked her eyes a few times in surprise at the respectful and obedient manner with which the soldier responded. It was so outrageously refreshing. "Dahling I must say you are a breath of fresh air. I'm tempted to promote you he-ah and now simpleh due to you-ah obedience, but I'll wait till you succeed for that." she'd say with a chuckle, before adding." Bonne chance, dahling! May Valeska be with you. And remembah....Don't risk you-ah life." and with that, she'd turn happily back to Arad and give him a questioning look. "A mahket? Well how sublime! What a devastatingleh inspiyahed idea, dahling. Do you have aneh vendohs yait?"
