The Liquid Wallaby - Midnight in Melanthine (Transition!)

[Barboneia]

"...Eh. I told Ava about how I had a boyfriend and girlfriend back in college. She didn't seem to happy."
He coughed.
"I, uh, wasn't dating them at the same time. I'm not a polygamist. Sure, the whole 'I was trying to get it on with Ira' think happened while I still with Ava... But I don't like to talk about that."

"Um, uh, y-yeah! I totally would not ever think about getting with her. Ever."

"I expect my future brides to be non-judgemental about that sort of thing."

Crysal coughs and motions at an address book.

"I don't care what the church thinks about it, I'm not marrying my seventh cousin thrice removed!" Cerril sighs in exasperation. "I'm going to hold the Arch-Druid at gunpoint and make him rewrite the holy books."

Adicei rolls her eyes. "Yeah, right. So! How's Siberia treating you?"

"...You people disgust me."
He shakes his head and walks out.

"...Well, the military conducts bombing practices like 20 miles north of here... And a fish bit me... And whenever I urinate it freezes before it even leaves my... Thing."

They shrug collectively.

"So it's treating you horribly."

This man enters shortly after. He sits down at the bar and looks at a menu.

"...Yep."

"...Yep."

Kasat looks at him weirdly. "I've never seen a man who looks like a broken URL."

"... You should come back to civilization."

(its not broken for me)

He slowly looks up at her. He speaks in a southern English accent.
"...What?"

"But... But I've made over 2,000,000 in the past week alone from the ice fishing!

"... Sorry, I think I need contacts."

"2,000,000 whats, exactly?"

"...R-Right. Uh, do you have any... Uh... Water?"

"...Rubles."

[The Unhallowed City]

Parris stepped into the Liquid Wallaby with his hands hands in his coat pockets and a perplexed frown on his scruffy face.

Saren toddles past him sleepily, yawning loudly.

[Barboneia]

Two Melanth stood outside of the bar, speaking in hushed voices.

Cerril wanders by them speaking to a Melanth in rather elaborate gear. Said Melanth is probably the Kaiser, at least judging by the 20-something odd security guards accompanying him.

The two look over and mutter something about "military-dogs" before continuing to speak. A small red dot seems to appear on one of their backs.

"And that's why the Culdranth-Melanth union needs to be reality, not just theory." The Kaiser says as the two head inside, seemingly not noticing the dot.

A shot suddenly rang out, and the Melanth's back seems to explode in a burst of blood and spine. He clutches at his back, coughing up blood onto his friend, before collapsing to the ground. His friend shrieks and dives to the ground.

The door is immediately slammed shut and blocked off as a siren rings throughout the area. The Kaiser's guards immediately begin firing at the general area the shot was fired from while a small group starts surrounding the nearby building.

No more shots are fired, for the time being. The Melanth crawls over to his friend's body and holds it. He begins to sob.

A slightly excessively armored ambulance shows up shortly afterwards, and the Melanth is ushered into the bar. The streets go silent as a city-wide manhunt is declared.

The Melanth appears visibly shaken. He sobs a bit longer.
"Poor Bolshoi... He had so much to live for... Why would anyone do this?"

The Kaiser peeks out the window and shrugs. "If I had to guess... random psychotic with a firearm?"

Cerril shakes his head. "He'd be gunning for you or me, if that's the case. World's worst assassin?"

The Melanth sniffed.
"Well... Me and Bolshoi had just left a company for a better one... And we were going to give the new company the old company's secrets... So... Maybe the old company is trying to silence us? Oh no... That means I'm next!"
He holds his head in his hands and groans.

Cerril looks down at the Kaiser. "This is why you've got to be harder on corporations. Give the suckers too much free reign, they'll start bringing out death squads." He then looks at the other Melanth. "I can offer you refuge in Arkadacia, for the time being. If they operate on my territory, I'll have a perfectly valid excuse to crush them, and-"

The Kaiser sighs. "Because of the Arkadacia-Melanth treaty, we won't be allowed to stop you."

"Exactly."

The Melanth shivers.
"I think I'll move back to Belarus... I haven't seen my family in a while..."
He groans and sits down at a booth, holding his head in his hands.

Meanwhile, in Siberia...

Alexi was sitting on a stool on the surface of a frozen pond. He was ice fishing, and hadn't caught anything yet.

Cerril shrugs lazily.


Adicei's horse wanders past before electing to take a nap next to the pond. Adicei herself is likely still in the cabin.

A fish sticks it's head out of the hole cut in the ice and spits freezing water at Alexi. He groans and heads back to the cabin. When he enters, he collapses to the ground.

She looks down at him and nudges him toward the fireplace. "Having troubles with the locals again?" She asks.
