A Perennial Tavern - I Think I'm Turning Culdranthine (OPEN)

[Barboneia]

Desmond's face turns bright red, and he runs off to the nearest bathroom.

"Ech..." The Poste Gentleman went over to the bar counter. He looked at Lao. "Hey, barkeep, I need a beer. Or two. Or five."

Carmel's reflection appears in the mirror, with her usual smarmy expression. "You know, the Iracusians are pretty chill with that sort of thing."

Lao looks up from his book, and closes it, using a feather as a bookmark. "Sure. Same thing as last time, I'm guessing?"

He stared into the wash basin, before looking up at the mirror. "Oh... Well... Mr. Tzu isn't Iracusian, is he?"

"No, I want the concentrated blood of the damned mixed with ground fairy wings." He says this with a completely serious tone of voice.

[Chaos Crescent]

Drake would fade in and out repeatedly and goes to the bar ordering everything they got.

'BARKEEP GIVE ME EVERYTHING!'

"No, I want the concentrated blood of the damned mixed with ground fairy wings." He says this with a completely serious tone of voice.

"I mean, he might be. Certainly looks like there's some in his ancestry. Of course, looks are deceiving. That's his entire game. Deception."

Lao looks from side to side awkwardly, and coughs. "Hem... That'd be Aelwyd's territory, not mine."

Lao looks from side to side awkwardly, and coughs. "Hem... That'd be Aelwyd's territory, not mine."

"...Deception? But he seems like the most honest chap in this entire land!" He spins around, expecting to see Carmel standing behind him.

"I'm joking. Give me the usual, please. And can I get a strawberry smoothie?"

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"...Deception? But he seems like the most honest chap in this entire land!" He spins around, expecting to see Carmel standing behind him.

"I'm joking. Give me the usual, please. And can I get a strawberry smoothie?"

She doesn't seem to be there. "I'm just saying, it seems like he's compensating for something. What that something is, however... we don't know."

He nods and starts filling some mugs. "... What's a smoothie?"

He looks somewhat disturbed by the lack of her presence. "Hm... What do you believe that something might be?"

"Oh. Uh... Well, it's like a mix of fruit and cream so it's like a thick liquid. I had them a lot back home."

[Ava Ire]

Gwen walked in, dressed in a very thick fur coat. A pocket watch dangled from her coat, which she occasionally checked and twirled around playfully. The girl sat down at the bar table.

"Oh. Uh... Well, it's like a mix of fruit and cream so it's like a thick liquid. I had them a lot back home."

"No clue. Wang size, height, lack of bedroom prowess... He seems to like reminding everyone he's a male, and I've known some alpha males in my time. Even Tormoid doesn't run around insisting he's the toughest guy around." Her face poofs out of the reflection.

"I'll have to make them some time... hm." He looks like his mind has been expanded.

[Chaos Crescent]

Drake would take in her dress and her twirling of the pocket watch.

Aelwyd sits down beside her, humming casually. And wearing a fur hat, for whatever reason.

"I'll have to make them some time... hm." He looks like his mind has been expanded.

"Oh, that couldn't possibly be true. He's one of the most powerful persons on this continent, if not the most, it just doesn't seem likely-" Desmond stared at the spot in the mirror where her face had been. "...Odd." He sighed, and stepped out of the bathroom, back into the main tavern room. Desmond sat down at a booth, looking around a bit.

"Yeah. It's good stuff. You can probably get a lot of money selling them."

It seems Tsengsi and Aurelian's conversation has ended, as the sibling's assistant is excused and leaves the bar. Tsengsi sighs and leans back in his seat, twiddling his thumbs. Celeste wanders off to have a brief chat with Carmel, in the meantime.

"I'll have to make an arrangement with some local farmers... I can't believe I've never heard of that!"

[Ava Ire]

Gwen walked in, dressed in a very thick fur coat. A pocket watch dangled from her coat, which she occasionally checked and twirled around playfully. The girl sat down at the bar table.

Aelwyd sits down beside her, humming casually. And wearing a fur hat, for whatever reason.

"Hmm..." She opened her pocket watch. No, not time yet. She sighed. Not seeming to notice Aelwyd, Gwen began to twirl around her pocket watch. The watch would have flew just inches from Aelwyd, barely missing her face.

Desmond looks around again, before getting up and sitting next to Tsengsi. "Hello, Mr. Tzu, sir! How are you today?"

"Yeah, cool." He takes a sip of his beer. "Remember to mix the cream and fruit really well, though. If it's too chunky, it tastes awful."

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Aelwyd sits down beside her, humming casually. And wearing a fur hat, for whatever reason.

"Hmm..." She opened her pocket watch. No, not time yet. She sighed. Not seeming to notice Aelwyd, Gwen began to twirl around her pocket watch. The watch would have flew just inches from Aelwyd, barely missing her face.

She recoiled as the watch swung past her face, and she looked rather pertubed. "Watch where you're swinging that pocket clock. Almost beaned me in the eye!"

Gwen gasped, turning around towards her.
"Oh!" she said in surprise. "I'm so very sorry! I, uh, didn't see you there!," Gwen proclaimed, a look of embarrassment and surprise on her face. She quickly took her pocket watch and stuffed it into her coat. "I wasn't, er, paying attention...." she mumbled.

She mehs, and shrugs her shoulders. "You should try it some time. I heard paying attention is exceptionally therapuetic." Finally, her drink arrives, and she starts chugging it. It resembles liquified carrot.

[Chaos Crescent]

'I get no love, no acceptance, no food, no drink, no place to call home.'

He would then start laughing and crying.

'This is how chance wants me to live from now on.'

Gwen narrowed her eyes in response, but didn't say a word. She didn't appreciate the snark, but felt it was deserved considering the circumstance. She watched in silence as Aelwyd drank the thick, orange liquid.

Aelwyd coughed slightly, and then sighed. "... Think the trains are still running at this hour?"

Aelwyd coughed slightly, and then sighed. "... Think the trains are still running at this hour?"

Gwen gave her a deadpan look. "Uhm, I suppose so?" She glanced around the bar for second, before looking back to Aelwyd with confusion. "Why do you ask?"

[Barboneia]

Desmond stared at Tsengsi, as if waiting for a response. Not getting one, he mumbled something under his breath and stood up. He straightened his jacket, before walking out of the tavern.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Aelwyd coughed slightly, and then sighed. "... Think the trains are still running at this hour?"

Gwen gave her a deadpan look. "Uhm, I suppose so?" She glanced around the bar for second, before looking back to Aelwyd with confusion. "Why do you ask?"

"I wanted to see if I could get a ride out of here. Maybe I'll see if I can fit my cart into one." She scoffs. "Not like they go anywhere important anyways. They've only got lines between here and one other town." She takes a moment to think, trying to recall something.

Gwen's brows furrowed. "Where would you go?"

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

(man i wish i didn't have to start conversation here every day

you guys can post without me y'know, talk at each other)

In a shocking twist, Tsengsi, Celeste, and Aurelian don't come inside. Instead, Carmel and Josef enter on their regular lunch breaks, with a ten foot tall embodiment of masculinity also referred to as an Iracusian following behind them. Who happens to be wearing a kilt. And no shirt. And has at least four different guns attached to his back.
