It seemed that, perhaps among other things, he was a sort of explorer in his world.
"What brings you here, my friends? I can tell by looking at you that you also travel the skies, but I didn't see any ship other than my own out in the fields."
"I lead a fleet that explores the multiverse. My ship detected this anomaly, so I decided to visit." He looked around. "I already detect a large supernatural presence. Would you happen to know anything about that?"

"Well, optimism is always great! Keep on that 'yet' part, my friend."
The Captain looked around. "At the moment...I don't see anything supernatural though, so it's probably somewhere outside, or hiding really hard."

While Eva waited for her master, the powerful psychic Fleet Captain, to stop talking to the train conductor, she noticed the two new arrivals and eyed them with suspicion. Eva was a beautiful, stern girl in a tight catsuit, turtlenecked and covered with glowing blue lines. There were little, wafer-thin plates of armor tightly attached to her armor, which came together at her feet to form high-heels. Her hair was a pastel blue, long pixie-cut. She crossed her arms and found herself unable to stop glaring at them.Foxfound wrote:He thought for a moment.

"That's probably it. I'm not detecting anything particularly strange about them." said the Captain, who gave a brief, acknowledging glance to the two new arrivals. "I'm Fleet Captain Hideki, from the Stellar Expedition. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance!"

When it was full, she took a sip. Kurushimi, meanwhile, had drawn her knife, but then noticed the woman glaring at them. Unbothered, she proceeded to to make an incision in her own arm, her smile only widening as blood gently trickled out.
”Someone’s watching us...” Sawagi tried her best not to focus on it, but couldn’t help but turn around to see the woman staring at them. She had some kind of futuristic armour on, which reminded Sawagi far too much of past enemies. She looked down at her prosthetic leg. That limb had been torn apart- no, best not to think about it. It was a Saloon after all. That meant people would sometimes stare at other people out of curiosity, right?
Kurushimi, meanwhile, gave her slice wound a gentle push, before titling her head to face their observer. She smiled. ”We can see you...you know...may I ask...why you watch us?” Unlike Sawagi’s voice, which always held a tone of anxiety or sadness, Kurushimi’s was soft, and filled with deliberate hesitation.

Hideki offered a handshake. "Well, as we are in a tavern, there's no use standing around, yes? How does a toast sound?" He smiled.
Hearing that she wouldn't have to stand around, unable to drink all day, Eva lit up, though she quickly forced her face back to a stern one.

He crossed his legs and acquired himself a glass to be filled. Eva took a seat and leaned boredly again the counter. The Captain, sensing her feelings with his powers, gestured with his thumb back to her. "And a glass for the lady, the head of my ship's police, if that is fine?"
Eva blushed a little but shrugged it off quickly.

Devernia wrote:Franz Novell Cunha lived an ordinary life. He was born in a happy upper-class family in a small suburb near Novo Castellos, and graduated high school within there. He would later pursue a degree in philosophy, politics, and economics in the University of Gaerson in Lustan, and much later become a prominent attorney for a slightly-relevant district of Devernia. If you talked to him, you would know he liked golf, swimming, theatre; you know, the usual rich people stuff. Most of his details would bore you to death, but he had a life; not a significant one, in many ways, but a life nonetheless, with at minimum experiences, regrets, and a personality at to share. He had friends, after all.
This is not important. What was important was his sudden disappearance one day, in a presumed car accident. The body, or the car, or any sort of evidence, was never found, except for some broken railings. CCTV solved nothing. In Devernia, he was presumed dead.
From the perspective of Cunha, though, he was driving down the H1 in his Mercedes-Benz-like car, smartphone in hand, talking to who-knows-what. For one second, he dropped his phone and bent down to pick it up, the next he was greeted with a birds-eye view of the ground. He was falling. The airbags went off before he went out a scream. CRASH it went, and Franz passed out.
He would later wake up in Violet knows what hour, with a blinding headache and a bloodied nose, in a completely battered car. It took a while before the gravity of what really happened finally set on him and he was able to shrug just enough to keep going. He undid the seatbelt and grabbed his belongings in a dizzy state. And with that, he slowly opened and crawled out the exit door, then stood up and looked around. Sand, dirt road, a town nearby. No mountains. The scenery definitely looked different.Where the heck in the world am I? he thought. I thought I was in Lustan? He checked his phone, no signal. Shame. The time is 4 PM, but... it doesn't feel right. Shouldn't the sun be over there and not overhead? Wait, did he just- no, it didn't matter. It was probably something with the clock. He needed help.
After a short yet hot trip (thanks, sun), he arrived at the small, dusty town, with dingy wooden buildings on each side, divided by a vast "road", if you could call it that. It honestly looked like some stereotypical Wild West town, down to the... oh would you look at that, a tumbleweed just flew by. He never even saw those through his life in Baan, even with the other typical desert features, like cacti. Whatever, focus, focus. He looked around. Nobody on sight. The buildings look old, very old. No electric poles in sight. Adding to the lack of reception (which is a rare occurrence in Devernia!), it seems that Cunha somehow bizzaro-teleported to some backwater town in the middle of Bigtopia or something. Well, I'll get answers eventually, he thought.
He sights a rather large... bar? Thing? Saloon? Oh yeah, that was the word. He sighted the large, stereotypical-looking saloon, which, to quote verbatim from the OP, is "complete with batwing doors and far too much dust than it has any right to have". "Ram's Head Saloon", the large, rusty, metal-edged signage over the porch said. And he heard people chattering. People! Everyone in town seems to be having their day in the wee ol' bar. He'll find a way out. He's sure.
He went up the stairs in resounding creaks, pushed apart the doors, and stepped inside.no, not every post is going to be this long
probably
also will update tomorrow with more plot stuff, in the meantime put your responses if any
also what is the general "feel" of the bar? like what are the stools, the rooms, etc. like? is it *ehem* bearable? is it high-class?

Out from the shadows Vixen walked out a switch as flipped on shedding light into the room all the eyes were gone besides a few that lie in the bartender's shadow.
He offered a hand to help the man up "You seem to have stumbled outo the bars cellar. Are you alright?" He glanced at the hole in the baseboards that were seemingly being patched up as they spoke.
