Ram's Head Saloon [Mod-Sanctioned C/CLT, v4]

[Eien no Yorokobi]

Gikochinai waved at Kiri. She seemed to be weirdly glowing and translucent, but she still found that cute. “”Oh! Hello! I’m Gikochinai! Nice to meet you! You’re cute!” She nodded and smiled.

"Hee hee! Thank you! Most people think I'm scary, so that's a nice change."

(OOC: I know I just started posting, but I'm really tired and I think I need to log off now. Sorry.)

”Oh! Do they? I don’t think you’re scary!” She didn’t explain why. The scariest things she’d ever witnessed had been...no, no no. She didn’t want to think about it. Today was a time for happiness and fun and talking to cute people.

OOC: That’s fine, have a good night.

[Ursingard]

King Uther and his entourage barge in through the doors, laughing and growling.
"Barkeep, I hope you've stocked up on mead, because we're here to relieve you of it!"
Uther begins tossing out Salmon (Currency, not actual fish).
"Drinks are on us!," the Ursin bellows.

[Veise]

Astre sat at the bar, still bleeding rather badly from the stomach. The mouth-bleeding had mostly subsided for now, though. He looked at the bartender and muttered, "...White wine..."

"Well, most ghosts are scary, and even I have to stay away from them. I guess people aren't used to nicer ones like me.

The funny thing is, a few times I've tried to spook people as a joke - that's what people expect ghosts to do, right? - but when I actually try to do it it doesn't work. Last time I accidentally tripped over something. And I don't even have feet anymore!"

[Low bloods]

Astre sat at the bar, still bleeding rather badly from the stomach. The mouth-bleeding had mostly subsided for now, though. He looked at the bartender and muttered, "...White wine..."

Vixenpoured him a glass "You really should let me clean that cut, maybe patch you up a bit better."

"What's the occasion?" Vixen said as he attended to them in a well manner of multitasking.

”I’ve seen some scary things! Not ghosts, though! Don’t worry! I know how that feels! I trip over a lot too, sometimes! I don’t know why! I’ve tried scaring people before, but mostly I just wanted to cheer them up! Or love them! I think I was more scary when I wasn’t really trying. But that’s ok! I’m not scary anymore!”

[Veise]

Vixenpoured him a glass "You really should let me clean that cut, maybe patch you up a bit better."

Astre took a mighty drink of it. "Feh...I can withstand a bulle-" His prideful words were interrupted by him coughing up some blood. "Tch... what a pain. You have drinks to serve, though, so I can and rather would wait."

"A successful hunt, my friend. Some fire-giants were stirring up trouble in a local county- destroying communities, stealing livestock, killing people, that sort of thing. We caught wind of it, and offered our services to the Sheriff- we Ursins have a particular knack for monster fighting, and the Sheriff was offering a hefty bounty on those giants. We tracked them down, and engaged them in an epic battle... I'll let you guess who won. We're here to celebrate a good day- we had a good fight, we put a stop to those giants terrorizing innocents, and we made a good bit of money doing it, too. Today was a good day."

[Third Kingdom]

'I don't wanna be nothing like you
I don't wanna be just like you
I don't wanna be anything like you
I don't wanna be just like you.'

[Afrikaaners Ryk]

Meanwhile, a man who heavily resembled Pieter van der Blekkenhorst had entered the saloon with a joyful look on his face. He wasn't wearing the usual dictator robes, much rather a fancy suit.

[Veise]

Astre growled and forced himself to stand up. "Pieter...." He slowly reached for his rapier, but was emotionally overwhelmed and sat back down. He clutched his head in pain.

[Eien no Yorokobi]

Having no idea about the person who had just entered or anyone they resembled, Gikochinai couldn’t help her natural impulse to wave hello. ”Hello! Hi! You’re cute!” She smiled as she spoke. She wasn’t lying- she did find him cute, but then, she found everyone cute. Not dead people, not anymore, but aside from that, everyone.

[Afrikaaners Ryk]

Astre growled and forced himself to stand up. "Pieter...." He slowly reached for his rapier, but was emotionally overwhelmed and sat back down. He clutched his head in pain.

"Wait, what the..." Pieter said as he turned to Astre. "Are you okay, lad? Who are you?"

"Aw, thanks, lass! Honestly, at my age, you don't get alot of compliments like that... really wonderful of you, though, thank you!" Pieter said, smiling.

[Veise]

He felt something truly different about this particular Pieter. He continued clutching his head and glared fiercely at him.

[Ursingard]

The Ursins begin singing.

[Afrikaaners Ryk]

He felt something truly different about this particular Pieter. He continued clutching his head and glared fiercely at him.

Pieter glared back in confusion at him. Perhaps he had something to do with him in some odd way, despite not even knowing him.

"Well... this is quite motionless. Then again, you are wounded, so the silence is justified... poor lad. Anything I can do to help? I can call in the doctors, maybe." Pieter said. It would be clear then that this was not the real Pieter

Kiri meekly floated up to him.

"Um, sir... I think what's going on here is that you look a lot like this guy who shows up every now and then and is really mean to us. That man... I think his name is Astre, he must have thought you were him. I hadn't noticed before how hurt he looked... I think you'd better call those doctors you mentioned."

[The Rapture Republic]

Zero blinked, noticing that there was a Pieter here, as he entered the Saloon, also unsure if this Astre was hurt and by what. Which he didn’t care much. It would lessen the competition as it was peculiar that Master(VictorNet) allowed a snobbish mere weakling to join a fight of titans. Nevertheless, Zero walked over towards Pieter, staring at him and curiosity looking at this Kirki, fella. Smelling of Wizzard, old foes of him in the far and forgotten past. Then, Zero decided to speak at Pieter to avoid awkwardness.”Hello here, do you have a twin brother, perhaps?”

"Well, I am Pieter, but I certainly wouldn't be a mean person! Whoever this other Pieter is..." He shuddered. "...I dare give him a good bloody finger wagging for besmirching my good name. I mean, I would never be mean to someone like you."

"And... Astre? Hm, sounds fancy... don't worry, I'll just call the emergency services... you know the code for them around this area?" Pieter asked.

[Veise]

"I don't want your help." Astre grit his teeth. "A damn alternate version or not, you're still the same being as the bastard who ...made a pleasure doll out of my sister's pedigree! It's not something I can so easily accept!"

"And... Astre? Hm, sounds fancy... don't worry, I'll just call the emergency services... you know the code for them around this area?" Pieter asked.

She frowned worriedly.

"I was hoping you knew. This saloon place is weird. Like, between time and space weird. I don't know if phones even work here..."

"I don't want your help." Astre grit his teeth. "A damn alternate version or not, you're still the same being as the bastard who ...made a pleasure doll out of my sister's pedigree! It's not something I can so easily accept!"

Duncan had been sitting at one of the farther tables unnoticed, occupied by his usual card game with Humbold and Wiltshire and drinking hot chocolate. Noticing the situation. He got up and calmly walked over to Astre, having procured a case of first aid supplies from somewhere.

"I have medical experience of sorts, if you want help from somebody else."

He kept a respectful distance while he waited for an answer.

[Eien no Yorokobi]

Upon hearing what Astre had said, it took Gikochinai a couple of seconds to process everything. She knew what those words meant. They were a complicated way of putting it, but she knew. Alternate version...she was too familiar with these things. She’d never met her counterpart, but...that was not what disturbed her. Once, she had a been a goddess. The Incarnation of Pleasure. And-

I don’t want to think about it! It’s over! I got past it! I’m not a goddess anymore! That was a lie anyway! No! I got away from it! No more of it! No!

With no warning, she rushed over to a nearby corner, trying to hide her face, that for that moment, she couldn’t bring herself to smile. Then, she turned around, happy as ever, waving once again, but daring not to say even a word.

[Afrikaaners Ryk]

"I don't want your help." Astre grit his teeth. "A damn alternate version or not, you're still the same being as the bastard who ...made a pleasure doll out of my sister's pedigree! It's not something I can so easily accept!"

"Easy there, lad! I'm sorry about what my alternate version did, but personality-wise, I'd probably be in no way like him! Believe me, I apologise on his behalf for whatever he- I, did to you!" Pieter said in a pleading tone.

"Well, I am Pieter, but I certainly wouldn't be a mean person! Whoever this other Pieter is..." He shuddered. "...I dare give him a good bloody finger wagging for besmirching my good name. I mean, I would never be mean to someone like you."

"And... Astre? Hm, sounds fancy... don't worry, I'll just call the emergency services... you know the code for them around this area?" Pieter asked.

He kept a respectful distance while he waited for an answer.

"Damn shame. Well, at least the other lad knows... pure relief." Pieter sighed.

[Veise]

Astre was thinking of an answer when Giko suddenly sprinted. He raised his eyebrows and then stared for a moment as she turned back around. After a moment, he turned back to Duncan and nodded. "Egh...fine. So that I don't turn my whole wardrobe a vibrant red..." He leaned against the counter and looked away.

[Low bloods]

Vixenpoured him a glass "You really should let me clean that cut, maybe patch you up a bit better."

Astre took a mighty drink of it. "Feh...I can withstand a bulle-" His prideful words were interrupted by him coughing up some blood. "Tch... what a pain. You have drinks to serve, though, so I can and rather would wait."

"Watch this." He snaps as a doppelganger peaked out from Vixen's shadow taking over.

Now he pulls over a table a bit off from most people. "Lay down and show me the wound. I'm sure we can get this done in seconds with two doctors." Vixen nods

Vixenpoured him a glass "You really should let me clean that cut, maybe patch you up a bit better."

"What's the occasion?" Vixen said as he attended to them in a well manner of multitasking.

"My brother does the same thing." Vixen said rather idly. "He takes on normal bounties he travels but prefers dragon hunting as he hopes to encounter a former lover of ours." He chuckles "Anyway drink up I'msure you fellas earned it."
