Ram's Head Saloon [Mod-Sanctioned C/CLT]

[Arkadacia]

Reg took an anxious breath, and put a finger up. "Alright, one second!"
She rummaged underneath the bar, stealing her second beer in a row. "Can't ever find how to pay for these, anyway. Like they want us to steal them." Beer in hand, she heads back to Crysal. "Ready when you are."

Crysal cracked her knuckles and rolled her neck. "Alright. I'll give you a head start." She says, counting down from ten.

[Crurnlark]

The man looked horrified, staring down at the creature. He looked quite uncomfortable, and attempted to push the creature off.

The creature's legs had specifically angled barbs that let it latch onto clothing and skin, making the task of pushing it off fairly difficult and slow. Still, he gained a few inches back every time he shoved the creature down, until it was once again on the ground next to him. It made a sad noise.

[Danceria]

Spock took care to mention that he's still crazy.

You don't bloody say? Jay answered sarcastically, Hate to put a damper on your parade, but I've been crazy long before you decided to move into my cranium. I just hope you pay some form of rent in a monthly manner.

He quickly moved his backpack onto his lap so that it wouldn't be able to climb back onto it, and he glared down at the creature. "Piss off, why don't you, eh?!"

[Greater Orensta]

"It would have been fine either way"

He shakes his head, "It's the least I can do." He walks her over to the bar. "Anything you want in particular?"

"VODKAVODKAVODKA!" she says

[Crurnlark]

Crysal cracked her knuckles and rolled her neck. "Alright. I'll give you a head start." She says, counting down from ten.

Reg starts out at a light jog, figuring this would be a casual excuse for exercise with some conversation and company.b

Crysal elected to walk at a brisk pace behind her about ten seconds later. "So, what brings you out here?"

[Crurnlark]

You don't bloody say? Jay answered sarcastically, Hate to put a damper on your parade, but I've been crazy long before you decided to move into my cranium. I just hope you pay some form of rent in a monthly manner.

Spock indeed said. Or thought. Or made Jay thought. Explaining the process of Spock's communication is starting to make HIS head hurt. It could pay rent in the form of, essentially, taking extreme narcotics for Jay's mind without subjecting his body to it.

He quickly moved his backpack onto his lap so that it wouldn't be able to climb back onto it, and he glared down at the creature. "Piss off, why don't you, eh?!"

The giant spider seems properly chastised, and skitters beneath his barstool.

Fair enough. he mentally agreed So, what now? Do we get a job to get some cash?

[Khasinkonia]

"I understand. Our normal format in official documents is given name, then surname, but many of our Asian provinces have it in a different format. It's all a matter of culture I suppose."

"Ostdeutschland. Ostdeutschland! The soviet Germany."

"You have...um...I didn't know the Germanic people had an empire! It extends into Asia? Well - I suppose that makes sense. Roman territories are often near coasts. You would expand over the land?"

"They have a nation, but I'm not a part of it. It's called Fascistisk State. My nation is the People's Parliamentary Confederacy of Khasinkonia. Here, I'll show you the current map of my world while I explain the basic history of my nation."
*shows map*
"So, many years ago, ISIS, Brexit, and many other things destabilized the world. Khasinkonia began as a result mainly of Brexit. Scotland and Northern Ireland declared their independence and formed the Celtic Union mitt Ireland. Meanwhile, Greenland voted for independence, but formed a military and economic federation called the Icelando-Greenlandic Federation. Soon, the two new nations joined together under one crown. Keep in mind our reality is much different than yours. Meanwhile, in Asia, the Kazakh Empire joined with the Kingdom of Mongolia to conquer numerous Chinese territories including the Uigher provinces and Inner Monglia. They also freed Manchuria. Soon, the three countries began a war with Russia and gained territories. In Korea, the South Koreans saw a chance to strike and took out their mortal enemy, North Korea, once and for all. In Japan, the Ainu people vied for independence and won full sovereignty of Hokkaido. Soon, the Ainu joined in on the Russo-Kazakh-Mongol-Manchurian war and gained Sakhalin. To the south, the Indochinese Commonwealth, Taiwan, and city states of Hong Kong and Macau seized their chances to make gains in China. Taiwan went a bit further and conquered significant lands in the Philippines. In Southern Europe, Bulgaria joined with Wallachia to protect against growing threats of terrorism and Turkish military expeditions. In the north, the Baltic Commonwealth formed to protect against Russia."
*sips beer*
"In the Pacific, southern New Zealand was conquered by Australia, and the remainer joined the Pacific Cooperation Union, which was founded by Korea and the Ainu Federation. In the new world, Greenland took land from Canada, which was becoming unstable from growing dissent in Quebec. To the south, the Yucatan Penisula united into a new country. A bit to the north, the city state of New Orleans and Baton Rouge made gains in the south of North America. All the aforementioned countries soon formed a union similar to what some might call NATO or BRICS. As the years went by, the Kazakh Empire and Kingdom of Mongolia grew to dominate this Union, and thus Khasinkonia was formed. Soon after, the people rose up and created our current nation. I was recruited under our eternal chairman's father, Clement Masaru. Minh Masaru recently resigned and left the nation in the hands of his young successors." Mien Gott. I haven't had to talk this long in ages..."

[Derpopollissss]

He shakes his head, "It's the least I can do." He walks her over to the bar. "Anything you want in particular?"

"VODKAVODKAVODKA!" she says

He sighs, "If that's what you want." He turns to the bartender, "Get this girl a Vodka. I'll just have a whiskey."

[Crurnlark]

Crysal elected to walk at a brisk pace behind her about ten seconds later. "So, what brings you out here?"

Reg's head start was quickly burning up, and she picked up the pace, wobbling a bit. "I was out and terrorizing the world." She said in a tone that could have been taking jokingly. "But I dropped what I was doing, and was irresistibly drawn here." She let her paces thump out any conversation for a few seconds. "You?"

Fair enough. he mentally agreed So, what now? Do we get a job to get some cash?

Spock didn't oppose that idea, but didn't have much faith in it. Not like there were any venues of employment around here.

Crysal easily kept up, of course. "Much the same, in my case." She chortles. "I kid. I got out of a miserable alternate timeline and decided to take a break in some unfamiliar territory to get away from my sisters."

True, but there's more to life than getting shitfaced drunk... he sighed and poked about, looking for something to do.

Reg lets herself slow down, to see if Crysal would continue matching her pace. "You don't feel like you were forced here?"

Crysal appeared to start gaining on her, if only to creep her out. "Oh, just a tad. My favorite hangout was closed down due to a place next door having issues... classic Arkadacian government incompetence, there."

A near minute passes, and Charlette let Crysal keep gaining on her. She sputters. "Guh, not really used to running. Teleportation is easier." She cracks open her beer, taking a hasty swig.bb

[Greater Orensta]

"VODKAVODKAVODKA!" she says

He sighs, "If that's what you want." He turns to the bartender, "Get this girl a Vodka. I'll just have a whiskey."

"you have a problem with it sir?" She laughed

He nods, "Rather not delve too deep, but sorta."

"We'll have to work on that." She says, starting to move at a light jog after her, preparing to pick her up at any moment. "You aren't going to get better if you don't start, right?"

[Crurnlark]

"We'll have to work on that." She says, starting to move at a light jog after her, preparing to pick her up at any moment. "You aren't going to get better if you don't start, right?"

Reg noticed with mild terror that Crysal was right upon her, and dodge-rolled ahead, spilling about a third of her beer on her clothes, the ground, and a little bit on the imposing beastwoman. And, on top of that, she took a bit to recover from the roll, almost as long as it would have taken to reach that point just maintaining her previous pace.

She's not winning any prizes for her mental acuity any time soon.

True, but there's more to life than getting shitfaced drunk... he sighed and poked about, looking for something to do.

Spock is well aware of this. Perhaps Jay could chase women about. Or men, if that was his preference. Or Jay could take up low-stakes gambling to gather some interest and friends.

Being a card shark sounds interesting, low ante. The Ava chick we met a while back seemed nice... Jay debated and walked over to the card tables and waited for it to begin.

Spock disapproved. Why do games of chance rather than one of skill? Fencing would turn more heads than cards.

Indo sat in a chair, lazily looking down an empty bottle.

Aurelia tries to pay attention - really. But Frida's attempt to explain isn't making sense. She sips wine, feeling giddy and a little tired - when it ends, she sighs in relief.

One thing has gotten through. "You're from a different world." Her head spins. "I'm from here." She touches the boot-shape of once-Italy. "What are these?" Based on her pointing, she means the Americas and Australia.

OOC: ((Something of Aurelia's might be messing with Frida's device a little, by and large by accident. It's not going to impair function, just do silly stuff. You decide how if at all.))
