((can we stop asking tiny questions of small details. I dont want to get stuck in a small conversation for 3 pages... We should get obvious information out and move on. And I'm starting to get itchy about wuts to be done with the Cardinals. Hey jalathas, i hope u dont mind me making them do something.))

"Happy to meet you Avroz, and happy to meet you Fangs," Egakino shakes their hands, "Fangs? Why what a cute little name. And you have excellent wall-crawling form. We have an Ant Lady who has that ability within the troup..."

While everyone was busily distracted finding out who was who within this motley crowd, the Cardinals were starting to come to. They took the opportunity to get out while they still could. "Come on, let's get out of here" Says one as he picked the other up. "We'll just get them next time..." One by one the Cardinals began to make their ways past the townfolk who wouldn't stop them. The townfolk would just hurriedly move away to the side as if afraid to get involved. The boss however, being that he was still melded to the ground because of the Alchemist, was having a bit more trouble getting away.

"Hey, wait! Help me out! Stop, come back you cowards! argh..." Says the helpless boss.

"...And that's how she doesn't choke while drinking pumpkin juice upside down. It was a really funny story" Egakino was still busy talking about the Ant Lady when someone mentioned going into the townsquare pub. "Why what a splendid idea. I am rather parched. But what about the Cardinals? Who's gonna clean up this mes... what the?"

The square was now absent of Cardinals except for the rather disgruntled boss.

Avroz turned back to see what Egakino was reffering to, and his jaw dropped. "Oh dear, oh gosh, uh-oh, oh no..." He reached for the latch on the cage, but paused to ask everyone around him, "What are we going to do with him?"

[daft alchemist]

Nenet looked at the only remaining Cardinal for a moment then turned towards the rest of the crowd.

"Leave him," she suggested. "As an example."

She knew he wouldn't get away on his own, and public humiliation was always a good way to punish someone.

Nenet entered the tavern, but she was unsure of whether she should continue talking to the girl, and maybe the rest of the group. If nothing else, she figured that a tavern would be a fine place to find business, especially one that was also an inn. Travellers used inns, and she was just the kind of guide that type of person would be interested in hiring.

Avroz's fingerslid away from the clasp on the cage door. "Thank goodness." He tried to calm the shaking in his voice. He was thinking what would happen if the man got away, or if the others returned-with bigger guns and beasts on chains and magic and more people and- "Ah!" He put his hands to his head and knelt as these negative thoughts flooded his mind. But it was up to him who he would side with, himself or this woman. And since he can't tear himself limb from limb, he got up and ignored the Cardinal. "If you say so." He walked to the bar, fumbled nervously in his robes for coins, dropping several through trembling fingers. He got a small mug and held it close to his lips, when he whispered to himself, "How much did you pay to get a glass this small?" He kept the glass hidden beneath his cloak and sighed. "Verrange depayse umoor- More than it appears." He turned to the others and asked between sips of the pitcher-sized mug, "What brings you all here?"

"Consider yourself lucky," Farce said to the Cardinal as she held a scimitar to his throat. "Had my friend and I entered the fray, you would no longer exist." She re-sheathed the blade and entered the bar just in time to see Avroz's trick. "Split! Didn't we get kicked out of the last town for you using magic like that? Please stop that." Farce sat at the bar and pulled out a bag of golden coins. She pulled out several and set them on the countertop. "Whatever's the most expensive," She said proudly, spinning the coins on the counter. "You know, Split, you could always just ask to borrow money."

"Leave him," Nenet suggested. "As an example."

"An agreeable exchange, for the wrong he has so obviouly done" said Adam. He followed the others into the tavern because it seemed to be the correct thing to do. He had no pressing business, and perhaps these folk would prove good company. . . or at the very least, useful in some way.

Adam sat at the bar, motioned to the barkeep, and ordered his drink. "A water, please"

A few of the regulars went quiet. The bartender spoke up "Water? Who comes to a bar and orders a water?"

"A person who could become drunk and sober at will, should he wish. Will I be receiveing my drink, or should I look to quench elsewhere?"

The bartender grudingly fills a glass and sets it in front of Adam, muttering something about "crazy foreigners with their stange customs, and tattoos all over his body. . . just plain odd"

[zoner]

Avroz drunkenly giggled, "Well, this is more fun than I thought!" He had obviously never been drunk before. Affel had many times, but Avroz only needed a few sips before he started feeling strange. He lost balance as any mostly sober person can and hit the ground hard, panicking at keeping the cage from hitting the ground. He embarrassingly stood back up and sat it on the bar. "Okay, I'm done, this is starting to feel weird." He dropped the mug, and snorted when it hit the ground and made a shattering sound. "What blasted idiot broke glass in here?" Those words only escaped his lips when a squeaking sound of a chair against the floor sent him rolling to the other side of the bar in fright, carefully holding his precious treasure above him.
His tumble over the bar sent bottles falling to the ground.
"Sorry! I didn't mean it! By all means, carry on with your drinking or killing someone other than me!"

[BugHunter]

"Right, so we're just gonna leave him out there. Hmm... Well no one should be left without a friend" Egakino pulls out a small frog marionette and puts it on the ground. He raises his hand and makes a loud CLAP with his hands. At that instant, the frog jumps up to his feet and becomes fully animated. It turns around and salutes its master. "I want you to go to that grumpy man over there and entertain him." The frog bows and makes its way with its tiny legs towards the Cardinal boss.

"Hey what is this?" Says the Cardinal boss as the small frog puppet approached him. After a pause the frog then begins to do a dance. A sort of balet with a taste of rural flair. The boss is bewildered. "What the hell?" At that the frog then jumps on top of the boss' head while still continuing its dance. "H-Hey! Get it off me! Get this stupid thing off of me!!" He tries to shake his head but to no avail. The frog moves as if a master of balance. The crowd of townsfolk see this and approach without fear. The sight of the frog using the bully's head as a stage is so hilarious that it makes these softspoken people break into laughter. "Stop laughing!! How dare you all!! This isn't funny!! Aaaarrghh.......!"

"Ah, there see? Now its much better" He turns to join the rest inside the pub. "My its dark in here. Lets get some light!" He tosses things out of his hands that appear like flares to the corners of the room which then make a small pop and then leave a remaining colored light source. "Clap on!" He claps his hands twice and whatever unlite candles that were around magically light up. "Ahh, ambient light makes all the difference in a room" He pauses for a sec to inspect his handiwork and puts on a big smile.

"Barkeep! Slide me a nice tall glass of milk!" ;D

[Jalathas]

Safra walked quietly up to the bar, and sat on the stool. This created quite a comical effect, since her chin was barely above the counter. The bartender leaned over to her and smiled. "What can I get for you, little girl? Maybe a nice glass of milk, like your jester friend ordered?"

"Get me some wine, the best you have." Safra replied in an annoyed tone. The man froze in place, and blinked. After a few second she said, "I don't see you bringing it. Oh, and put it in a clean cup, please. I don't want a dirty one like you gave Adam there." She smiled sweetly.

"Um... right away..." The man stammered as he poured the wine. He passed it to her, taking a hard look as he did. Then he shrugged, and walked quite pointedly off to talk to the regulars.

[zoner]

"Hey," Avroz said between hiccups as he pulled himself back up from behind the bar, which resulted in more bottles to crash to the ground, "Aren't you a little too *hiccup* young for wi-" Avroz stopped mid-sentence and giggled, falling back t the ground, only stretching an arm above the counter, waving his hand slowly side to side "too young to drink wine?"

[Cobra5]

((Shit, sorry guys, I fell way behind, I was doing my Christmas shopping and have been a bit busy... I'll catch up tonight, and probably post tomorrow. I don't think my character would've had anything terribly important to do/say anyway, at least))

[daft alchemist]

Nenet frowned at the drunken mage as he stumbled about and asked Safra if she was too young for wine. She didn't feel the need to order anything alcoholic, but instead pulled a rather large waterskin from her robes and handed it to the barkeep.

"Please." she said, though it sounded almost unnatural with the tone she had used. "Fill this with water."

As the man turned away Nenet turned towards the girl a bit. She had no reason to be around any of these people, and she knew that very well. She could be sifting through the crowded bar for a job or two. This girl, however, had her so intrigued. She felt as if there were something very important, maybe even strange, about her, and she was willing to ignore potential business so she could talk to the girl instead.

The barkeep handed her waterskin back to her and she tucked it away into her robes again.

"My question from before." she said to Safra. "What reason have you not to fear those men?"

[Jalathas]

"Persistent, aren't you? As I said when I introduced myself, my personal affairs are none of your concern." Turning to look at Avroz, she told him, "I'm not sure my age really matters. I can certainly handle my drink better than you, so maybe you should keep your comments to yourself."

[zoner]

"Mind your manners young lady." Avroz said dizzily, "And I'm not as think as you drunk I am. Or, something like that." He slung the cage over the bar as if it was a grappling hook, which hit another bottle in it's arc, and pulled himself back up. "See?" He stammered, tapping his head, "I can still think perfectly well. As a mat-tuh-ter of fact, I feel almost ominiscent, wait, onomscent, one more try, omniscient!" Avroz jumped and pointed to the ceiling as he figured it out. "One more drink!"

[BugHunter]

"hahaha, I like this guy!" Egakino slaps his hand on the back shoulder of Avroz. "Hey, we should start a bar song! It'll be in celebration of stopping those bullies!" A table of drunken men in the back cheer in agreement. Egakino pulls out his flute and begins to play a pleasant rural tune. Some of the people begin singing, all too drunk to care how bad they sound. "Come on fellas! Lets all join in!" He hops on top of a table and begins dancing a jig while playing.

((i can't think of lyrics right now, but people in the bar are now singing))
