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

[Indo-Malaysia]

The Wild Dancing Donkey Man awoke from his four year slumber, having consumed a nondescript bottle of whiskey that very likely to be 4 million abv.

"My my, hasn't this place changed?"

The Wild Dancing Donkey Man proceeded to enter the bar.

"Oh its Donkey man." Vixen nods "What knowledge of the future do you hold now?"

The Wild Dancing Donkey man let out a typical donkey noise, before responding to Vixen.

"It is prophesied that Mr. Mouffan will spill your next drink."

"Oh its Donkey man." Vixen nods "What knowledge of the future do you hold now?"

The Wild Dancing Donkey man let out a typical donkey noise, before responding to Vixen.

"It is prophesied that Mr. Mouffan will spill your next drink."

Vixen laughed "Well that is no surprise. The old man only stares daggers at me since I entered this bar. Sure I hopped over the bar counter and self proclaimed myself a bartender for the establishment." Vixens grin was rather devilish. "But thank you, I look forward to the future."

[Cortexis]

Turbina understood. Those were the prophecies - making probable predictions based on available data. Well, such skill is certainly benefitial, she prided herself on being quite skilled in this area. She picked up her glass of tea and, again, downed it like a shotglass, with a satisfied exhale causing steam from the still hot liquid escaping from her mouth.
"So, do I understand it correctly that there was some sort of takeover at this establishment? I do not have enough information to pass judgement, but working with I have, I have this to say: out with the old, in with the new! A young person can do many tasks better than an old one. Sure, there is the issue with potentially less experience, but it is balanced with more able body, capable of faster acting and also quite stronger. At least when we talk about a job where using your body is just as, or more, important than using your mind. ... Don't take that as an insult. It was not intended as such."

[Third Kingdom]

'Two week to this day did I bury my dog, and fifty years to this day does this thread still lives.'

Shrugs takes a drink and throws a knife at the dart board hitting a bulleye and breaking the blade.

'Damn I loved that knife well whatever I'll get another.'

"Sometimes we... Oh the irony my ex just texted me." The entity throws its phone at the dartboard.

"Sometimes we must have moments to mourne and sometimes we rejoice for the good times. Life is good yet bad, right?"

'That is true life is badly good or goodly bad, also i finally got ice borne for monster hunter world. Joined a discord for all of one day and left cause didn't fit.'

Watches phone get stuck in the dartboard somehow.

'Oh nice throw, I think all my current ex's are dead and buried. I mean one's that left without a word let alone lurk in the shadows.'

[Foxfound]

Z had returned, walking normally through the door this time instead of skipping or leaping or bounding or whatever it was she usually did. She sat at the end of the bar and ordered several large hot chocolates and her usual sandwich, or perhaps just had them brought to her by a Mouffan who knew she wouldn't order anything else.

Vixen tilts his head and questions. "No this place has been abandoned for some time in the past. So I came in, in the past I owned a bar so I hopped behind the counter and had some fun."
He answers the question but still shows some sigh of question "I have some experience. Oh and im not as human as I let off." He nods

"Rough day, huh?" The LowbloodIan knight asks in a half awake sense.

"Sometimes we... Oh the irony my ex just texted me." The entity throws its phone at the dartboard.

"I use to like to hunt monsters. Then there was so many knew ones while i dropped off i just gave up."

"Rough day, huh?" The LowbloodIan knight asks in a half awake sense.

"Feeling a little down, yeah," she said before taking a big *GULP* of her hot chocolate.

"It turns out I'm..."
She trailed off for a minute, before sighing.
"Turns out I'm not actually a kitsune, I'm a kumiho, and if you have any idea what that is you probably realize the issue."

"You eat the hearts and liver out of men? And probably women I mean now a days I believe gender is just a word." He laughs
"Or is that not the problem here? Sounds pretty brutal."

"Or is that not the problem here? Sounds pretty brutal."

She gave him a hurt look before turning her gaze back ahead.

"No! I don't, and I never will. But I need to figure out something, because these liverwurst sandwiches aren't exactly cutting it anymore. Some doctors and scientists are going to try to find some kind of artificial substitute for me, but most kumiho... do act like you described, so no one's bothered with much research into the issue in the past."

"Our creatures that rely on such feeding methods have donors if they cant acquire it themselves. Lowbloods has a few donation centers for these types of situation. Maybe I could hook you up with something. Im sure it wont be that difficult."
The legionary spoke with a rather coldness as if he had done this before. One could sense the question and certainty in his mind.

She looked a little uncomfortable and pensive.

"I... that might be the best option, if what the people I've mentioned are trying doesn't pan out. But I don't think I can stomach the idea of eating... you know what, even if it was donated and no one had to die."

That last word seemed to cause her some pain.

"Thank you though. If worst comes to worst I might take you up on that offer."

He nods "I know a a few that had to get use to it. The organs come from those on their death beds, much like organ donors these people know their body will provide much help. Of course the transplants are higher privileged than food.
This does cause some problems in the business."

"But vampires, succubus, other creatures that feast on the human body as well. It's. A good way to normalize them rather than the populous fearing them.

One of my closest friends feasts off life essence. She's a grand mage in our ranks."

She nodded as she listened.

"It is nice that there is a place people accept... creatures like me when we try to be peaceful. I'm still hoping for a solution that doesn't involve me having to... do that at all, though. Like I said, I'll look into that if what we're working on doesn't get anywhere in time.
I don't think I really want to talk about this anymore though. It's not a happy subject."

She drank more hot chocolate, ultimately finishing one of her mugs. "Would you care for one?"

[Low bloods]

"I'm more a fan of milkshakes. I like my drinks more on the hold side."
He laughed and took off his helmet revealing he wasn't entirely human. He had a set of ears on him somewhat resembling a cat. Some noticeable features were a scar on one eye and knick on one ear.

[Fatatatutti]

A small woman pushes the swinging doors open and pauses briefly in the entrance. She is wearing a black sombrero with an embroidered brim, a matching short jacket, enormous red knee-length pants and dusty boots. She is carrying an 1848-model Colt Dragoon pistol in a holster above each hip, butts forward. She strolls over to the bar. "Maria-Luisa de Castro," she says. Something wet, if you please."

Someone who hadn't visited the saloon in some time was sitting nearby at the bar. The fox-eared lady with the red umbrella was drinking some tea when she noticed Maria-Luisa.

"Wet? Not very specific, I'd say."

"Wet? Not very specific, I'd say."

Maria-Luisa pushed her sombrero back a little and shrugged one shoulder. "For the first drink, wet is enough. If I stay, we can get more sophisticated." she reached into a jacket pocket for a gold coin and placed it on the bar.

The kitsune took a sip of her tea.

"So, de Castro, is it? Sakura Mori, pleasure to meet you. What sort of place are you from, if you don't mind me asking?"

The ever-silent Mr. Mouffan manning the bar took the coin and poured Maria-Luisa a... glass of water. If one didn't know better they might think the bartender was developing a sense of humor.

Sakura allowed herself a muted giggle. "I suppose that's what happens around here when one just asks for something wet."

[Fatatatutti]

The kitsune took a sip of her tea.

"So, de Castro, is it? Sakura Mori, pleasure to meet you. What sort of place are you from, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I'm from Bolivia," Marie-Luisa said. "Do you know it? I'm from the south, the Chaco."

The ever-silent Mr. Mouffan manning the bar took the coin and poured Maria-Luisa a... glass of water. If one didn't know better they might think the bartender was developing a sense of humor.

"Thank you, senor." She drank off half of the water.

Sakura allowed herself a muted giggle. "I suppose that's what happens around here when one just asks for something wet."

She raised her glass. "Sometimes it isn't wise to be too specific."

"I haven't been to Bolivia, but I know where it is. About the opposite end of the Earth from where I'm originally from north of Siberia. It's an island that your maps will probably call Kotelny Island. I'm living in Alaska now, though. Better schools and such so it's a good place for my children."

Sakura reciprocated the apparent offer for a toast. "You may be right, though ironically enough I'd need a more specific example to know for sure."

Sakura reciprocated the apparent offer for a toast. "You may be right, though ironically enough I'd need a more specific example to know for sure."

Maria-Luisa emptied her glass. "Siberia. A cold country. It gets cold in the mountains in Bolivia but not like Siberia, I think. I don't live in the mountains." She rested her left elbow on the bar and her right hand on the butt of one pistol. She looked around the room casually. There were a lot of odd characters but none that aroused her interest. "A lot of people come though here, "she mused.

"A lot have." Sakura nodded. "But very few lately. From what I've heard, at least. I haven't been here much myself."

She looked down. "Interesting firearms. My husband would no doubt be intrigued by them."

[Fatatatutti]

Maria-Luisa drew one of her pistols and handed it butt-first to Sakura. "Colt Dragoon, model 1848. Cap and ball. Slow to reload, so I carry two - and two more on my saddle. Twenty-four shots." She didn't mention the knives in her boots or the Derringers in her jacket pockets. "I also have a Sharps buffalo rifle for long distances and a Greener shotgun for short distances."

"I use to like to hunt monsters. Then there was so many knew ones while i dropped off i just gave up."

'Always new monsters appear or rather for rise is now the new one. Still no luck in getting the elusive ps5. Even with a damn discord room alert.'
