The Liquid Wallaby - Meanwhile, in the East (Closed)

"<Ah, no, not Bavaria. I'm from Norway, perhaps you've heard of it? It's far to the north of Germany. I think.>"

"<Ah, yes! The Danish colony! Of course I've heard of it. Is... is that where we're at?>"

"<Oh, no. Right now we're west of England. On a little place island between the Celt lands and the mainland England, called the Isle of Man.>"

"<Ah... uh... hehe... could you explain to me how I got here, fair man?>"

"<Ah... uh... hehe... could you explain to me how I got here, fair man?>"

Lars shrugged. "<I couldn't tell you. Honestly. Uh... Maybe you got accidentally sent here through time? It's quite odd. But happens sometimes.>"

Lars shrugged. "<I couldn't tell you. Honestly. Uh... Maybe you got accidentally sent here through time? It's quite odd. But happens sometimes.>"

"<... Through... time? What a strange... concept. Nonetheless, if this was the holy work of God, I shan't question it... for he has his reasons for sending me here.>"

"<Yes... Perhaps... Although, I wonder what exactly those reasons may be. I hope it's not to, like, kill anyone, because we've had enough of that nonsense around here recently. It makes my job quite difficult.>"

"<Oh, no! I'm quite doubtful it'd be for that, my fair man. I was a healer in Jerusalem, not any warrior... my pilgrimage was simply because it was the holy city, where all children of God belong. A peculiar thing, though... there was a battle going on when this happened. Perhaps that triggered it...?>"

"<Hm... Battle, eh? Was it part of one of those crusades the pope ordered? Maybe... Something triggered during it that sent you here. I honestly don't know, although perhaps we may be able to find out.>" He coughed. "<Well... You are in a tavern right now, a mighty fine one I might say. Would you like something to drink? We have wine, beer, water... Whatever you want, really.>"

"<Oh... yes! A drink would be lovely. Some wine, if I may.>" The elder takes a seat at a table, then begins to glance around, a bit worried. "<... Say, you wouldn't have happened to see a few knights or men-at-arms roaming around, eh? There were others caught in the great light besides me... and I haven't seen them since...>"

Lars nodded, and went over to the bar. He grabbed a bottle of red wine and a fine crystal glass, before returning to the table. "<No, I can't say I have, sorry to say. Although, some of my fellow constables may have seen them. Hopefully they haven't attacked them... Seeing a couple of fully armored men with heavy weaponry usually inspires people to react with fear.>" He handed the older man the bottle of wine and the glass, and sat down across from him. "<What is your name, by the way?>"

"<I'd hope not... some of those lads are dumber than rocks; they'd probably react violently to this whole situation,>" the man replies, graciously accepting the wine and the glass and saying, "<thank you, man. My name is Johannes, by the way. What would yours happen to be...?>"

"<I'm Lars. Lars Gunderson. I'm a constable, here in this place, Douglas. Uh... Being a constable is like being a city guard. You know, stopping criminals, arresting people, etcetera. I'm off duty right now, however. So, Johannes... You said you're a healer?>"

"<Yes, I know what constables are, my fair man,>" he replies, pausing to drink some of the wine before saying, "<I am a healer, yes. I helped a great score of the poor and sick, not only in my home in Germany, but also in the Holy Lands.>"

"<Ah, that's nice. I take it you like helping people, then? That's why I signed up for this job. I love helping people. Of course, I was hoping I wouldn't get sent here of all places, because not much happens... But it's better than nothing.>" Lars smiled at Johannes. "<So, what year was it before you came... Here? Because I have a feeling it's a lot different than the current year.>"

"<It was... 1187, if I'm not mistaken. Saladin and his forces were descending upon Jerusalem.>"

"<Huh. Well... You'll probably be surprised, but now it's 2016. And let me tell you, a lot has changed.>"

"<I... uh... I can see that things have changed. Though, tell me; what has happened since that year?>"

"<Well, a lot of things. New countries were made, some countries fell, the world got into two massive wars that killed millions, horrible new weapons were created, but also fantastic inventions that have helped everyone, we've even sent people to the moon! It's not made out of cheese.>"

Kyrati comes downstairs and eats any food lying around the tables.

"<Hmm... both terrifying and terrific! Would there, perchance, be books written in Latin or German that go into greater detail of this? I'd certainly love to know more.>"

Kyrati comes downstairs and eats any food lying around the tables unattended.

Simon stared at her with wide eyes. "What the hell?!"

"<Uh, you might check the library. They might have some history books in German that could help you. The library's down the road, it's a big brown building.>"

"<Ah... thank you. I shall investigate it thoroughly after the shock of all this has subsided...>" The man takes another sip of wine, then asks, "<there wouldn't happen to be any food around here, would there?>"
