The TR Tavern (O,R)

[Wolf]

"Always glad to see new faces." Wolf smiles also waving at Pie

[DrNumaNuma]

"Is there anything I can get you, My Lord,"

[Krystal_Mccloud]

I cooly walk to the bar and look for the owner. "Someone would think the owner would be here but oh well." She muttered under her breath.

[Spartan-101]

"She's disappeared again is all I can add..." he noted. "Believe me, the place would be a little more livelier with her around."

[The Shadow of Death]

"i second that!"

[DrNumaNuma]

"Apologies, but I will do what I can as a substitute. If she returns, I will forfeit my position."

[The Shadow of Death]

"yeah, because if not she is likely to skin you alive, then hang you from the ceiling fan by your big toes, turn it on high, and collect your blood..."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

A loud ruckus comes from upstairs and I ridedown on a Narwhal while whirling around a cowboy hat yelling "YEEE-HAAAAW!!" I end knocking my head on the ceiling and fallin off. The narwhal busts out and plies away with a horse galloping through the air behind him. I siton the floor and pout. "Awww."

[DrNumaNuma]

"She my try, if she thinks she can succeed," Adrian gives oe of his smiles.

[DrNumaNuma]

((Dude, wtf MGL?))

[The Shadow of Death]

(he is extremely........ random... we'll put it that way.)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Thank you for the compliment tsod. You are a nice person.))

[Wolf]

Wolf turns to Shadow. "Sounds like our kind of gal huh?" Wolf chuckled with a grin.

[Spartan-101]

Spartan rests his hands behind his head, leaning back to tip his chair backwards. With a loud thud, he lands on the ground and sighs, still technically sitting in the chair. "This place died down again..."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Shall I go get the Narwhal back?"

[Spartan-101]

"You mean it didn't stick around? ... Well it's not like anyone'll decline."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

The Narwhal busts through the cieling in an epic fashion as I leaped up and gave it a high five. "YEAH!"

[DrNumaNuma]

"I would avoid destroying the witch's property if you know what's good for you Zeke," Doc warns.

[Spartan-101]

"It strikes me odd that, despite Biting using magic to damage-proof the Tavern, that a Narwhal managed to break through the roof." He notes.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Narwhals are awsome. What do you expect?"

[DrNumaNuma]

"An awesome foot up your ass is what I expect," Adrian retorts.

[The Shadow of Death]

"i can oblige that" i say, appearing right behind Adrian.

[Marcus McCloud]

A soft, whining jet sound was heard coming from outside the Tavern. An Arwing set down outside and a blue and white Reynard entered the tavern and stared at a particular occupant of the tavern seat. His jaw didn't work properly for a moment, but when it did, it didn't hide his astonishment. "Mom?!?"

[DrNumaNuma]

"I am certain the man was referring to him," Doc said and pointed to Zeke.

[Marcus McCloud]

Marcus blinked for a second. "Huh? No, her." He pointed to Krystal, then sat down next to her. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

[The Shadow of Death]

(he was talking to me, i just missed the post)

"i understand that doc, i appeared over here to show which side i was on."

[DrNumaNuma]

"That was unnecessary. Have a drink." Adrian pushes a bottle of brandy to tsod.

[The Shadow of Death]

i look at the bottle, opening my mouth wide as i fit the whole bottle in, bitting down. the bottle can be heard crunching as i chew it, grinding it to dust.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I glare at tsod, feeling like I'm being one-upped and look at Lust who just walked in. My jaw then becomes overly gigantic and devours Lust whole. He screams in terror and his bones can be heard crunching inside my mouth. I then look over at tsod. ">:3"

[The Shadow of Death]

i look at Zeke, shaking my head as i devour the whole bar. i then look at zeke, "needed some fiber..."

[DrNumaNuma]

"I'd put that back before the missus returns or-- nevermind," the bar rips through tsod's chest and replaces itself in its original position, just like it used to be. Doc shakes his head. "You forget you are not in your home territory anymore; this places is enchanted to resist such damage."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Then why is there still a hole in the roof?" I smirk looking at the gaping hole. Lust then rips open my stomach and flops out, panting. "Y-you suck sloth." "Hehe. I know. Now get the fuck out." Lust crawls away, his legs still regenerating.

[The Shadow of Death]

i look at Doc, "she has attacked me before, to no avail... after the six drops of blood i still have..."

[DrNumaNuma]

"My memory escapes me; why did she want it?"

[The Shadow of Death]

"she wanted to see what she could summon into this plane with it."

[DrNumaNuma]

"Hookers and blow, that would be about it," says a voice from the door, but the owner walks off, not entering the tavern.

[The Shadow of Death]

"interesting take, but she still wanted to know... and that would not be the outcome..."

[DrNumaNuma]

Doc got up from his seat and left. After a few minutes, Adrian said, "It has been too quiet here."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I hit Adrian over the head with a random old stick that breaks in half when it hits. "No shit Sherlock."

[Spartan-101]

"If only the owner popped in every once in a while.."

[DrNumaNuma]

"I believe she is gone for good from this place. I do not mind the job, but it does not feel right to replace her as I have."

[The Shadow of Death]

i appear behind Zeke smashing large musical symbols against his head as hard as i can yelling, "loud enough for you?"

the symbols disappear as i look to Adrian, "true, but you do a descent job, we just have to visit more..."

[DrNumaNuma]

"Thank you for the complement. I do wish fresh faces would come and stay."

[The Shadow of Death]

"yeah, well... we need and advertising campagne..."

[DrNumaNuma]

((Does anyone have the previous tavern thread?))

[The Shadow of Death]

(damn... i dont think so, i will email Raidus and see if he still has it.)

[DrNumaNuma]

((If he's even alive))

[The Shadow of Death]

(he is, i email him on a regular basis and he responds. he said its difficult to get on a site named Tentacle Rape in a collage dorm...)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Lol :p ))

[DrNumaNuma]

"How about a drinking contest? First one drunk under the table losses." Came a voice from within the bar. A glass of whiskey lifted on its own accord and the contents disappeared before the glass was slammed back on the bar.

[DrNumaNuma]

((Give me an ingredient and I'll make a drink out of it if I can. Try me.))

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((....Unicorns blood and liquified Narwhal horn :D ))

[The Shadow of Death]

(oh boy... the magical boner...


anyway, he said he should still have it somewhere. i dont know when he'll get it to me, but pm me an email address and I'll forward it to you.)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

As I stand there still, Lust walks in and waves. "Hey everyo-" I point a double barreled shotgun at him. He immediately stops and backs away slowly. Once he reaches the door however, he is impaled from the back by a Narwhal and is then carried away by the majestic creature.

[The Shadow of Death]

(Raidus had several of the threads, but he said he did not have the Tavern.)

[DrNumaNuma]

((...majestic creature?))

"For the blood and guts," Adrian mixes grenadine and apple pucker in a shot glass, and tops it off with a little mustard. "here's a Blood and Guts." And slides the drink to Zeke.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I stare at the drink and lift the glass, swirling the liquid a little, observing it and rubbing my chin. I immediately drink it and slide it to the side. "Haaa. What else ya got?"

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian laughs and first layers Amaretto, Sour Apple Pucker, and then Southern Comfort in a shot glass. Next, he floats 151 Rum and then pulls out his swords. Sliding one of the blades along the other, he lights the shot on fire. "Try that one. And anyone else what to try a specific ingredient of theme? Give it a try; I'll see what I can do."

((Really))

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I take the shot glass and gulp down the drink, smoke rising from my mouth. "Haaa. Tasty. Hmm, how about a mixture of demon blood and unicorn blood. Something really evil mixed with something eternally pure."

[DrNumaNuma]

"Or how about the blood of a virgin?" The invisible voice says. The figure was now raiding the liquor supplies, pulling out a bottle of 50% bourbon.

"I'm afraid I cannot supply either." Then he holds his sword to Zeke's neck. "But the former I can comply with."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I look at him angrily. "That's not very nice." I touch the sword and it melts down to the hilt. I pull out a sign that says 'NO FIGHTING'

[The Shadow of Death]

i appear beside Zeke, holding a sign that read, 'NO AUTO-HITS'

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I pull out a bigger sign that says IT COUNTS IF THE PERSON IS BREAKING THE RULES. THE SIGN YOU ARE HOLDING NOW WAS NEVER THERE AND NOT MADE BY BH.
I then pull out an even larger sign with a picture of a grey unicorn riding a Narwhal and underneath it says
CHARLIE THE UNICORN IS RIDING A NARWHAL. YOUR ARGUMENT HAS BEEN RENDERED INVALID.

[Trasticon]

((oh shit! I'm breaking away from my usual character!))

A man is walking down the town's main street one night, feeling quite wasted already and looking for another bar to hop to. He is approximately in his late 20s, wearing black jean pants, a Painkiller t-shirt with a leather biker jacket over it. As he walks past one building, he swears he smells alcohol from inside -- or is it just his own breath?
In his drunk stupor, Paul stumbles inside this building, "HEEEEY GUYS, how's the PARTY DOING?" Unable to control his verbal actions, his voice varies in both volume and tone. "FUCKING WASTED, SO let's bring out the beer PONG TABLE AND ORDER some pizza!!" He blinks a few times then manages to sit on a chair before he collapses on the floor, almost passed out but still somehow conscious.

[DrNumaNuma]

That annoying fairy from Zelda comes and holds up a sign "NO ATTACK WAS DELIVERED BY THE EUROPEAN MAN YOU WANKER"

Adrian fills a glass of Bourbon and slides it down the bar in front of the man. "A little liquid stamina."

[Trasticon]

"WHAZZAT? MORE BEER YOU SAY? BLESS YOUR SOUL GOOD SIR!" Paul tries to stand up, fails, then crawls over to the bar. "A LITTLE HELP HERE? It seems the glass is playing keep-away from me!"

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I look at the fairy and pull out an over-sized double-barreled shotgun. "YOU'RE OPINION DOESNT MATTER NAVI! DIE!" I begin firing at the damn fairy. But due to budget cuts (mostly on making the shotgun oversized) real bullets weren't used. Intead confetti was fired from the shotgun. I fired randomly in the fairy's general direction but she was apparently immune to the powers of confetti. So I just grabbed her and ate her.

[Spartan-101]

Spartan, who had gotten out his pistol and was aiming at the fairy, sighed. "Why'd you have to go and eat it? e_e"

"And who's the new drunky?" He says as he watches Paul go for the drink, putting the gun away.

[The Shadow of Death]

i reach down, grabbing Paul by the back of the collar of his jacket, and lifts him with ease and sets him down at the bar.

[DrNumaNuma]

"Anything I can do to help." he said to Paul. "I have taken the position of bartender at this establishment. Ask, and you shall receive."

[The Shadow of Death]

i turn to Adrian, eyeing the newcomer suspiciously, "hey, i need something a little... out of this world... if you could find something that would actually effect a skeleton, that would be much appreciated."

[DrNumaNuma]

"I have two in mind. Which one would you prefer: Blight or Wake the Dead?"

[MonsterGirlLuver]

This place is going down quickly. :( So little people visit this site now. We lost many old friends :( I hope more come soon. I like this place.

[The Shadow of Death]

(indeed, but this is not the place to discuss unless in character...)

"I'll take both... maybe we shall see something happen..."

[TentiSlut86]

Aly slowly crept through the door, her clothes hugging her in all the right places and leaving little to the imagination. Her brown hair was pulled up into two bouncy pigtails and she had a rather childish look about her, but she was far from childish when it came right down to it.

Moving in further into the room, she moved towards the bar to order herself a tall Rum-n-Coke. Her light brown eyes scanning the room watchfully.

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian pulled out a bar glass and filed it with her drink. He set it down on a bar wafer saying, "Let me know if you need anything else, Miss. As for your beverage." He turned to tsod.

He cleaned off two of the steins used for the changaa, but filed an inch of the glasses with it. "Monkshood, mandrake root, dragon fang, lungwort, asphodel, kappa extract and belladonna." He ground the fang, monkshood and mandrake root into a fine powder, mixing them in with the changa before lighting a match. He dropped it into the contents, setting it ablaze with a dull red light.

"The Blight, an rather sweet immortal drink known for its potency. So much so, no mortal is able to drink it without facing the possibility of death." The fires dies down and he begins to chop up asphodel and belladonna until they were also in a fine powder. He placed the lungwort on a small bowl and lit a fire under it. After a few minutes, a foul-smelling juice began to emit from the root.

"Wake the Dead, used for its potency to awaken even the deepest of slumbers. Bitter, but it odor stimulates the blood to such an extent that you will not sleep for several days." He separated the juice into the steins, placing the asphodel/belladonna mixture into the stein without the fang. After that, he filled the remaining space up with the kappa extract. "Drink up."

[The Shadow of Death]

i take The Blight in hand, "been a hell of a long time since i've seen all of those ingrediants in the same place and time..." i take the first swig, savoring the sweet flavor, then smirking in approval. i down the rest of it in a single swallow.

i reach out and grab the Wake the Dead, taking a sniff, then downing it, frowning slightly at the bitterness.

[DemonKitty]

A rather small girl enters the cavern, eyes glaring at her, most likely due to her size, her name was Taylor, and she was just looking to meet new people. She carefully crept over to the bar to see if they wouldn't mind at least giving her a glass of water. She looks around and notices the variety of odd people and creatures in the room, then she takes notice to the sign up above. Taylor starts to wonder to herself if she has made a bad decision, she sits at the bar, turns around forward and looks at the bar table waiting patiently for the bar tenant.

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian cleans tsod's glasses and walks over to the newcomer. "Good evening Miss." And bows slightly. "Can I get you anything?"

[DemonKitty]

Taylor is surprised at the appearance of the man that approached her, but she reaches into her back pocket grabbing her notepad and sharpie and writes down 'A glass of water would be nice'. She shows this page to the man and blushes slightly because she was a little shy. Taylor then goes back to the way she was before, staring at the bar table she was sitting at.

[DrNumaNuma]

"That is not a problem little Miss." Adrian smiles and fills a glass full of water on the rocks.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((You could have just said ice water instead of "on the rocks"))

[DrNumaNuma]

((No. I had to))

[DemonKitty]

(lol at "on the rocks")
Taylor looked up as her cup was filled, she looked around and noticed a few eyes still glaring at her, she quickly turned back around and started to drink her water. Nervously, she just sat there looking forward.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I look at the newcomer and hop off my stool. I walk over to her and pat her on the head. "Hello there oh small one. What brings you to this dirty, nasty, strange place with several people that, according to certain people, can be call as raging psycopaths?"

[DemonKitty]

Taylor notices one of the men approaching her and she tries to not look at him but watches him from the corner of her eye. She hears him stop moving behind her and suddenly feels his hand on her head. Taylor flinches and huddles down holding tightly to her drink, then the man asks why she was here and then something about raging psychopaths, those last words make her tremble in fear as this new man may be trying to tell her he thinks of himself as one. Taylor pulls the drink toward her slowly and when she lifts it up, she finds her hands shaking violently, water vibrating in her glass. She tries to just act like she didn't notice, hear, or feel the hand of the man and hopes he might just let her be.

(lol, just playing shy ^_-)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I chuckle. "Ha! Just joking. Though some of the people in here a little out of it, but they're decent at most. Now as a token of my apology for frightening you," I reach into my cloak and rummage around inside of it. I pull out a tiny, white, adorable, fuzzy bunny. "Here is a small bunny." I place it on the table in front of her. It looks at her with large, sad puppy eyes.

[DemonKitty]

The man behind her chuckles and claims he was joking, but he does ask for forgiveness and reaches into his cloak. Taylor jumps and closes her eyes, fearing she was about to be killed by stabbing right there in the middle of this populated area and no one would even care. But then he says "Here is a small bunny." Taylor was confused, she opened her eyes and there in front of her was a cute and adorable white bunny looking right in front of her on the bar table. Taylor's face lit up as she let go of her glass and wrapped her arms around the bunny, pulling it close to her chest and burying her face into its soft fur.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Yay! Forgiveness achieved! Group hug!" I pull her in for a hig as well, doing my best not to hug too hard and hurt the rabbit.

[DemonKitty]

Taylor feels his arms wrap around her and figure anyone that would carry a bunny is weird and still decent enough to at least offer a hug back.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I put her back onto the stool. "Sorry bout that. I like animals. Sorry if I come out as 'weird' to you but nowadays, nobody is normal. Weird IS normal these days. It's just a fact you learn to deal with everyday.

[DemonKitty]

She shrugged at the man from her stool with his comment, she placed the bunny in her lap and looked for her glass to take a drink.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"What's the matter huh? Cat got your tongue?" I open up her mouth and reach my fingers inside and somehow pull out a tiny kitten, somehow perfectly dry. "Magic." I then snap my fingers and the kitten turns into her glass of water in a puff of smoke. "This yours?" I place it on the table. I then reach into my cloak and pull out that very kitten. "And here's the kitten." I place it on her lap and it cuddles with the bunny.

[DemonKitty]

Taylor looks at the man, confused and mouth gaping, but then remembers his question, so she pulls out her notepad. She writes on the notepad 'Sorry Sir, but she cannot speak, she is a mute sir.' then shows this magical man the paper. She then looks back down at the kitten and starts to snuggle with it as well.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Ohh. I thought you were just being shy. Whatever it's okay." I sit down on the stool next to her.

[DemonKitty]

She watches him carefully, he may be nice, but he is still unfamiliar

[MonsterGirlLuver]

Randomly I reach out and poke her head. "Poke." I retract my hand and smile.

[DemonKitty]

Taylor nearly freaks out and falls over but manages to catch her balance and takes another sip of her water

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I smile evilly and poke her again, this time on the ribs.

[DemonKitty]

Taylor bounces up and out of her chair falling straight on her side while still trying to hold onto the animals

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian began to clean up the other glasses around the bar. "Be courteous to the newcomers Zeke or I will have to cut you off."

[The Shadow of Death]

I look to Adrian, "here's a challenge for you, frozen wasteland, lets see what you can do for that one..." i look to the newcomer, vanishing from my seat, only to appear beside her, "welcome to madness..." then i vanish again, reappearing in my seat.

[DrNumaNuma]

"Hmm... I do not get that type of request often... but I'll see what I can do." Adrian ponders for a minute, but soon begins to work with an idea. He begins to look through the Mistress's stores, opening cabinet after cabinet for ingredients. Dreamfoil, a bucket of ice, winter-grape wine, vodka, more kappa extract, honey, and a glass ampule that appeared to be empty.

He mashes the Dreamfoil into a pulp before grinding the ice to near slush. He then dumps the pulped Dreamfoil in with the honey, adding the vodka and kappa extract to the mixture next. Adrian pops the cap off the winter-grape wine and pours a glass for himself, sighing contently as he finishes it. Cleaning tsod's previous stein, he fills it with the crushed ice and pours both the winter-grape wine and the Dreamfoil mixture before stirring. Next, he uncorks the ampule and tips it into the stein. Surprisingly, a liquid pours out, one that is completely transparent.

"Yukionna tears. Not much is special about them in particular, but they do have one unique property." As he said that, the bottle of wine began to develop frost on the side of the bottle and slowly spider-webbed across the entire surface. "This mixture never grows warm. And with the sweetness of the grape wine and honey with the Dreamfoil for spice, I guarantee you'll never find a drink quite like this one."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

Taylor bounces up and out of her chair falling straight on her side while still trying to hold onto the animals

I then get up out of my seat quickly and catch her before she falls. "Gotcha! Sorry about that, couldn't help myself." I smile and place her back on the stool.

[DemonKitty]

So many odd things in this bar, everyone seems to be quick on their feet and she couldn't help but notice the drink that was so cold, it produced frost. She watched in awe as the man handed the cup over, and then started to squirm out of the hands of the man holding her. She stumbled to her feet with both animals in arms and stood as straight as she could, with the straightest face she could pull together. She then looked at the men and simply hoped back into her seat.

[The Shadow of Death]

i grab the drink, "interesting... yet again with the rare ingredients..." i pick up the glass as the frost makes its way up my skeleton hand, reaching the leather, which cracked from the temperature. i raise the glass up, bringing it to my skeletal mouth. i tip it back, letting it slide down effortlessly. i place the glass down, half empty as my skull begins to frost over, "had to try it without my shields, quite refreshing..." i look to my hand, "interesting..."
i then raise the glass again, finishing off

[The Shadow of Death]

the drink quickly. i stand, completely covered in ice, "well done... now... i find myself curious..."
i open a portal into the Shadow Realm. icy blue shards jutted out around the edges, and the whole realm seamed to be frozen over. "fascinating... can you make me one to go? i find myself wanting to give a snowball a chance in hell..." a shadowy grin stretches across my frozen skeletal face.

(sorry Doc, had to take that one all the way to the end...)

[DrNumaNuma]

"Now there is a novel idea. Say hello to Mephistopheles for me."

[The Shadow of Death]

"i may just do that... first i need another of those."

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian repeats the drink, rubbing his hands together as the glass started to freeze, yet the contents still managed to remain liquid.

[The Shadow of Death]

i grab the glass, "i shall be back soon, after i force this down Mephistopeles's throat and freeze hell!" i laugh maniacally, then vanish.

[DrNumaNuma]

"I hope he doesn't do anything to drastic. We can't have Lucas deny vacancy anytime soon. We need someplace to put them." He turns to the rest of the group. "Is there anything I can make for anyone?"

[DemonKitty]

Kitty looks at the blank space in shock 'did that man turn out to be the grim reaper?' she thought to herself, motionless and worried for her own life more than ever.

[DrNumaNuma]

"There is nothing to be concerned about young one. In this pocket dimension, many strange and unusual things occur."

[DemonKitty]

Pocket dimension? just where did she end up getting herself into now, she has been to a hundred different times, even a few new worlds, but she has never found herself in something called a pocket dimension before. She grows more sensitive to her surrounding as she looks at everyone as closely as she could, noticing this was no normal world for sure.

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian observes Kitty's skittish behavior. "Only travelers come here. Some come, some go. We all will in time. The Mistress of this tavern is out, so I have taken it upon myself to take her place until she returns. This place is of her creation, so all must follow her rules. Rest assured, you will not be harmed here."

[DemonKitty]

A short sigh of relief finds it way through Kitty after hearing these words, she could not tell why, but somehow she truly believed she would be safe here, at least long enough to find her way back home. She did think however that since she was here she would at the least try to explore about and enjoy herself as much as she could.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

Unbeknownst to Kitty, the entire time she was being reassured by Adrian, I was putting fuzzy animal after fuzzy animal on her person. Some bunnies. Some kittens. Some puppies. And even a baby tiger which curled up in her lap, it's paws huge as it kneaded her leg softly. I even put a few small poofy birds on her shoulders. A small kitten was last placed on the top of her head. It purred loudly.

[The Shadow of Death]

i reappeared, holding up Mephistopeles's frozen carcus, "mission accomplished!" i drop him and he shatters into small black ice cubes which vanish in a vortex of shadows.

i resume my seat at the bar, "next!"

[DrNumaNuma]

"Oh dear; Hellspawn need to be sent somewhere." Adrian lectures. "What can I get for you?"

[The Shadow of Death]

"hmm... i am unsure on what to go with next... any suggestions?"

[DrNumaNuma]

"Shall I select the opposite theme of your previous drink then?"

[Merc_Venatir]

"do the rules still apply to this place? its so empty you could hear the pin drop and hit the floor..."

[The Shadow of Death]

"i suppose so Adrian, after all, you cant kill me!"
i look to Merc, "i can change that..."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I pull out a chibi loli from my cloak and place her on the table. She smiles and begins go wave her arms around while saying "Desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu desu~!"

[DrNumaNuma]

"Keep the child away from this, please; i do not wish to see her catch fire." Adrian uses a much more slender glass this time, similar to a cocktail glass but much more narrow. He pours 2/3 oz. of green Chartreuse and 1/3 oz. ruby Port. Next, he pulls out a small vile of a clear, acid-red mixture. "There's a hidden potency to manticore venom, truly so. It kills the bodies ability to produce pheromones and electrical signals to the limbs. The victim is paralyzed and eaten. Their favorite meals are Cambrian-Day flies. But..."

Adrian pulls out a straw and covers the top so no liquid will squeeze in through the bottom. "If, by chance, the flies are not eaten, the venom harvests in the flies blood." He quickly pours the mixture into the straw. Quick as a flash, he strikes a match and lights the contents on fire. The whole contents of the glass burst into flames. "The blood comes with its own oxidizer. If you don't know what that mean, it means that it will never lose its flame." And he slides it down the bar to tsod.

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian turns to Merc. "Greetings, stranger. I have taken up the role as bartender for the Mistress' absence. Please make yourself at home."

[The Shadow of Death]

i take the drink, catching it casually, and look it over. i then begin to drink it as my green flame eyes turn red and black flames raise off my head.

[The Shadow of Death]

i put the drink down and look to Adrian. "bit anticlimatic, wouldnt you say?"

i look around at the deserted tavern. "I guess death and desolation would be a fitting theme now..."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Way to take almost two months to drink one drink."

[The Shadow of Death]

"its called skill..."

[Fuzz]

"I don't see what skill has to do with taking your time to do something, as for Death and such, it's a bit early for Halloween isn't it? Maybe it isn't, I mean I have been gone for a while." He takes his hat off, tipping it and tossing it against a corner of the room.

[The Shadow of Death]

"indeed you have... and halloween has nothing to do with it..."

[Fuzz]

"It's called a joke."

[The Shadow of Death]

i stare at Fuzz while frosty blue flames flicker into my usually green fireball eyes.

[Fuzz]

"No, no, change it back to the green, better holloween colors." He leans forward in his seat, getting ready to move at any sign of trouble.

[The Shadow of Death]

the whole of the fireballs change to the frosty blue as ice creeps along the glass i am holding.
a shadow flashes across my face as it shows a wicked smile.

[x adams]

wait how many months hav-oh wait that jokes been done already hasn't it?

*glances over to fuzz and TSOD* oh well, nothing new here apparently...

[The Shadow of Death]

I look to Nathan as the ice retracts and my eyes return to normal. "look who the cat drug in..." i say, glancing over to Fuzz...

[DrNumaNuma]

"It appears we are finally getting a crowd together. Welcome one and all." Adrian smiles.

[Fuzz]

"Oh look, Mr. Funny bones cracked a joke, someone stop the presses." Fuzz glared at TSOD grabbing a glass and downing the contents.

[The Shadow of Death]

"i can handle the press... but you on the other hand... you know how most people love to see pussy on tv... they'll eat you alive..."
i retort as my eyes frost over once more and the temperature in the room begins dropping.

[Fuzz]

"I'll be sure to stay away from china, least I got some meat on my bones." I reply back, taking another shot of whiskey and not noticing the cold.

[The Shadow of Death]

"it is that meat that will become your downfall." i produce a one way first class ticket to Korea from nothing and hold it out to Fuzz. "compliments of the shadows..."

[Fuzz]

"I am as eternal as I want to be." I put the ticket in a shot of whiskey and light it on fire, dumping it over a steal platter.

[The Shadow of Death]

"and i even more so than you."

i look to Adrian, "where's that drink?"

[x adams]

"did you give up on him so soon?" Nathan perks up after downing his remaining glass before it froze

[Fuzz]

"and i even more so than you."

i look to Adrian, "where's that drink?"

"Whatever makes you feel less insignificant." I turn and walk over to Nathan, giving him a shoulder nudge.

[DrNumaNuma]

"Because you didn't ask you bag of bones. What can i get for you?"

[The Shadow of Death]

(when i said 'death and desolation would be a fitting theme now' that was my order...)

"i have not given up on anyone... I just dont have time for arrogant hairballs these days..."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

"Hehehe. Fuzzballs." I poke Fuzz on the side of the head.

[The Shadow of Death]

"yeah, never forget about mr. fuzzyballs over there..."

[x adams]

"Hmm?" Nathan shrugs off the nudge, "is it me or did the tavern suddenly feel more hostile around here" he sighed and leaned back in the stool

[Fuzz]

"Arrogant? That's hilarious coming from our resident egomaniac. I don't think anyone here has a more bloated sense of self importance then you." Slaps MGL's hand away ignoring the comments.

[Cube Head]

Cube Head, briefly looking at the lights from the outside, decides to enter the Tavern.
He looks at the ceiling surveying the environment before announcing his presence.
"Greetings good people."

[The Shadow of Death]

i turn and glare at the newcomer as the frost blue flames set in the otherwise empty eye sockets in my head flash black, then return to their normal green.
i then turn to Nathan, "hostile? no... we're just exchanging friendly banter..."
i glance to Fuzz, "i did create the universe after creating myself as the first being... i think i am inclined to a fair amount of recognition. dont make me poof you to a furry futa con..."

[Fuzz]

"Oh I'm sorry, we were still in pretend land? Sometimes I like to have a conversation OOC where I am free to do so, which would put us on level footing. That isn't too difficult is it? This is getting rather dull, I'm sure you have better people to drone on too." I tip my hat to the person on the other end of the pseudo argument, and turn my attention to the new comer in the bar.

"Welcome! I am no one of importance, you'll fit in perfectly here if you can relate. xP"

[The Shadow of Death]

(i stay as Shadow here... meaning no OOC for me, because then i become a faceless blob typing on a PSP...)

[Fuzz]

(geez, now a feel bad ._.)

[DrNumaNuma]

((Tsod, being a dick in character is still being a dick. Sure, a little jab at eachother's ego is alright now and then, but you've been doing it in OC's too much to be friendly banter between two individuals.))


Cube Head, briefly looking at the lights from the outside, decides to enter the Tavern.
He looks at the ceiling surveying the environment before announcing his presence.
"Greetings good people."

"Good evening sire. I will be your host and bartender for your stay here. What can I assist you with?"

[Cube Head]

Cube Head, all sides of his head a blank slate, turns a blank face to the good doctor as he took a seat.
"I'll have a shot of whatever is popular around these parts."
Leaning against the table he then begins to search through his jacket.

[The Shadow of Death]

(@doc, i was being sarcastic. but even in reality i am cold-hearted and even ruthless at times, that much is just part of who i am.)

[DrNumaNuma]

((I don't care who you are in real life. Don't be a dick))

Adrian sighs. "No one has ordered recently, so let's play a little game instead. It's called 'Find the Water.'" Adrian fills four glasses with a clear liquid from separate bottles.

"The game is three glasses contain vodka, the fourth contains water. The objective of the game is to keep drinking until you find the glass of water. DO you wish to play?"

[Cube Head]

Cube Head puts aside a pair of metal antenna on the counter while he considers the invitation to a game.
"Alright I'll play your game. Either way, I'll have myself a good drink."

[Fuzz]

"H-....how do you drink?"

[Cube Head]

"I don't really drink so much as I act as a container. But I would find it rude of me not to be drinking in a Tavern."

[Fuzz]

That is a rather interesting gimmick for a character, I must say I am taken completely off guard o.o

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian sets the four glasses on the bar in front of Cube, his face remaining blank as to not give away any clue. "Very well, let us begin the game. Please choose."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I sigh. "So many people once visited this tavern. So many have left. So many friends. So many wasted ideas. Oh well. Good times must come to an end eventually. Cheers everyone." I raise my glass and drink it all down.

[Cube Head]

Mirroring the good doctor's blank expression (naturally) Cube Head chooses the far right glass. The liquid seemed to magically disappear as it touched to curious person's head.
Lacking both a nose or tongue the Cube asks:
"Did I take the right glass?"

[The Shadow of Death]

"strange..." i say as i watch cube head...

[DrNumaNuma]

"I'm afraid that was vodka, sir. Try again."

[Cube Head]

"Gladly."
Cube Head takes the middle of the three remaining glasses and proceeds to give the liquid the same fate as the last.

[DrNumaNuma]

"I'm afraid that was also vodka. Try again." ((This was an annoying game the bar pulled on me my first time around))

[Wolf]

Wolf walks in and sits between Shadow and Doc. Looking at Cube head he mutters, "Hand me those vodkas".

[The Shadow of Death]

"long time no see. what wind brings you here old friend?" I ask Wolf as he takes a seat.

[Cube Head]

"Well it appears we have reached the climax of the game then, with two glasses left."
"How about another game? I will let you choose my next course of action."
Cube Head took the V-shaped metal he placed on the counter earlier into his right hand. He then reached into his jacket and grabbed what appeared to be a Z-shaped metal with his left hand.
"I will choose another glass. If I win I will use the device on my right. If I lose I will use the device on my left. Don't worry neither of these devices are harmful."
Cube Head motions toward the left of the two glasses.
"I choose this glass. Is it water? Your move doctor."

[DrNumaNuma]

"I'm afraid it is also vodka my friend," Adrian replied.

((Edmund has exited the bar and replaced by Adrian and his superior bartender knowledge, Wolf))

[Cube Head]

"Very well then."
Cube Head then touches the Z-shaped object to his head. Part of it goes in through some sort of invisible slot.
He then starts turning the device. Cube Head, now more of a "Jack-in-the-Head", begins playing a quiet song.
"Now before my little song finishes, something must pop out of my head. Care to suggest anything?"

[The Shadow of Death]

"yeah... undead stripper?"
(had to...)

[Cube Head]

"I will attempt to process that. Give me a moment." As the crank slowed and the music died down Cube Head falls to the ground as his top opened and out walked...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/stxze/zombies1.gif
He then got up and sat back on the chair, dusting off his jacket and adjusting his head.
"Well I hope one of those was what you wished for."
The handful of undead start shambling toward the door in favor of a darker environment.

Paul Robertson makes excellent animated gifs.

[The Shadow of Death]

(wow.....)

[Cube Head]

(I could not post the INDIVIDUAL zombies because I do not know how/too lazy to UPLOAD from my own FOLDERS. I found you a LINK instead.)

"Well that passed the time nicely. Anyone else have a suggestion or should I begin exploring the many doors of this fine establishment?"

[diVIne_Tentacle]

(I could not post the INDIVIDUAL zombies because I do not know how/too lazy to UPLOAD from my own FOLDERS. I found you a LINK instead.)

"Well that passed the time nicely. Anyone else have a suggestion or should I begin exploring the many doors of this fine establishment?"

I would suggest the story forum Its very nice like the library from beauty and the beast

[The Shadow of Death]

(i was saying that in refrence to you actually entertaining the idea...)

[Cube Head]

(Oh but I will gladly entertain any idea if I were to prompt it. Else I would not be a good host/guest.)
Cube Head begins opening a set of doors finding most of them locked. There are no indication of the use of key-type objects for most of the doors.
"How curious."

[diVIne_Tentacle]

Try this *places bottle labeled 'drink me' on table*

[Cube Head]

Cube Head notices the bottle.
He then sits down to have a existential conversation with it and it's desire to be drank.
The bottle continues to appear silent. The words written on it still loud and clear.

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian stares wide-eyed at the ensemble, "Well... that's something I haven't seen before."

Adrian takes a hold of the fourth glass and downs it, wincing slightly. "I'm afraid I played a cruel joke you you, my friend. That was also vodka." He points to the tap behind the bar. "There's the water."

((Bastards made me play that game once. I started cursing to my a sailor blush))

[Biting Hard]

((How in bloody hell is this thing still alive?))

[Naesha]

((Because people get bored, one would suppose.))

[Biting Hard]

((I'm just shocked, since on the old forum site I left the tavern and it died.))

[Cube Head]

(It is alive by my very will, and the will of those who wish to join me.)
(That and also it was the only open one I found in the first 10 threads.)

[The Shadow of Death]

(we kept it alive, but it is mostly thanks to Doc for taking up residence behind the bar and a couple of us coming in here every once in a while and reviving it. also, i cant let my threads be the only descent sized RPs around here.

also cube, you can sign up on threads... we wont murder you that quickly...)

[DrNumaNuma]

((I've done my best as bartender. Anyone can serve drinks, but it takes a real man to be a bartender.))

((Now get back on topic before I use a Klingon death-curse on someone))

[Wolf]

(Forgive me BH. I did not contribute much. But I did post here every time I returned to the sight.)

[x adams]

A man slips inside, making sure that his entrance does not generate a large amount of noise. Not much can be seen of his features or his build as he is wrapped in a long, black coat with a large hood to match he observes the bar's scenery and guests before saying, "Does this place still serve as a bar or a place for people to speak in brackets?"

[DrNumaNuma]

"It is indeed a bar." Adrian bows to the newcomer. "Welcome to the tavern, and I will be your host."

[The Shadow of Death]

"take a seat, have a drink on me. its pretty dismal around here these days. nice to have another customer other than myself and the blockhead."

[x adams]

"You should drag the wolf person over then, that would make another" he claims taking a spare seat, "Simple beer if you wouldn't mind" he mentions to doc before saying, "The cubehead is probably intimidated by your appearance, shadow, don't you have a nice look for newcomers? and before you ask, it's Reialgo, though you can call me Rei if that means speaking less"

[DrNumaNuma]

"You are lucky master Reialgo, I have only just pulled a keg out of the basement. There are many odd things down there..." Adrian sets up the keg and cleans off a mug, filling it with an amber liquid. He passes it to Rei. "Tell me how it its."

[The Shadow of Death]

"well Rei, Wolf comes and goes as he pleases, and i usually cannot contact him. as for me... i have infinate forms, but why use them when i am looking to relax?"

[x adams]

Rei takes a testing sip from the mug before draining about a quarter of the liquid, setting it down again he says, "It's a fine brew, not as powerful a punch as some drinks, but thats why I like the stuff" he wipes his mouth before replying to shadow, "Because...the odd mishap is probably cowering from you deathly visage, others have come here for leisure as well"

[The Shadow of Death]

"i dont cause too many problems, and i stay relatively to myself," i say to Rei, then turn to Adrian, "here's your next challenge, a chimera."

[Hapto]

The door blows opens to torrential rain, closing again as if by itself. At first no-one notices Allmy has entered. She's not sure if she wants them to see her, as she doesn't yet know if she's allowed to be here. But she's been running for so long, the thought of just one night in a safe bed urges her to try.

She sits at the bar, her pale, rain-wet skin steaming a moment before she's dry again, her scarlet top and long black pants warming against her seat. Her silky black hair flows down her back and curtains around her heart shaped face. Hidden behind her hood of hair, her eyes are closed, holding onto her own mistrust and the minds of those around her. Their thoughts feel friendly enough, as she lets go of her fear, her image appearing seated before the bar.

[The Shadow of Death]

(unfortunately we are bartenderless... again... and i dont have the knowledge to fill that one.)

I notice the woman from the time she walks in, never letting on until she decides to reveal herself. "Welcome Allmy..." (ah, the perks of being omnipotent, nothing quite like it...)

[Hapto]

Her hood of hair moves, turning slightly towards the cold place behind her where the voice came from. Startled is not a word she often uses, but to hear a voice come from a place without a human mind, instead only a void dark and closed to her, scares her indeed. She feels very uneasy, left to rely on the unaccustomed uncertainty of not knowing someone's mind. Yet somehow the void feels familiarly quiet, enshrouded in the final silence, reminding her of long dead memories she'd rather forget.

While she feels fear, a dark part of her awakened by the remembrance, smiles. The smile is already gone as, lips unmoving, she speaks, the clear whisper of her voice heard somewhere between his hearing and the back of his mind, asking: "How do you know me?"

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I suddenly sit up from my nap on the table and say "That man is supposedly the creator of all the universes or some bullshit like that. I personally think he's just an ass with no sense of humor and doesn't know how to take a punch when he deserves it." I pick up a bottle and throw it at him, only to have it phase through him (like everything else) and shatter on the wall. "See?"

[The Shadow of Death]

(sorry Hapto, i failed to mention i am actually sitting at the bar. 7' tall skeleton wearing a long sleaved, hooded, black leather trenchcoat that reaches to the ground flaring outward near the bottom. i also have fairly strange green fireball eyes.)

I speak to Allmy, unmoving as my deep raspy voice drifts out of the shadows once more, "I am that which is and that which is not, I am everything and nothing, everywhere and nowhere, I am The Master Assassin reborn, I am... The Shadow of Death..."

[DrNumaNuma]

"And a tad overly dramatic." Adrian steps out of the back. "Greetings Misses. I am Adrian; I will be your bartender for your stay."

((Whewn finals are over anyway))

[Hapto]

(ty for the description - tried to sift through this thread to find it but with 121 pages that was doomed to failure)

She hears those around her, instinctively feeling for the truth of their words. The air is filled with a mix of emotions as they regard the Shadow, senses of mockery masking dim shadows of fear, disbelief, and something that may be jealousy or mistrust. But there is warmth also. It feels so warm here.

Finally she turns her head towards the Shadow, sitting up so her long hair falls away from her face as she opens her eyes. Solid black, the faintly glowing yellow of her irises staring into his green lights. She smiles. She likes the way he speaks, reminding her of a man, long ago, reading Aristotle and Boethius to her as she lay snug in bed, still only three years old, understanding it because he did. Before she started telling him the words before he spoke them. Before he discovered what she was, before....

She looks to the bartender, choosing to speak for real this time, her quiet voice holding a singsong grace and every semblance of happiness. "Thank you. What would you recommend to drink?"

[DrNumaNuma]

"Let us start simple," Adrian says in an Eastern European accent. He removes a bottle with a label of "PASTIS" on the side. "A French liquor for a seasoned palette." He takes a glass off the stand and fills a quarter full with the amber-colored drink. "And to top it off..." He takes a jug of water and pours it into the glass. As it begins to will, the drink turns from a yellow amber to a milky white.

"Enjoy."

(((I'll get to your drink later tsod))

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I lay my head down and grumble. "Oh yeah sure. Pay attention to the skeleton but pay no mind to the only person with a sense of humor. Fucking lifeless bastards."

[The Shadow of Death]

"what can i say Zeke, i am just more interesting."
(@hapto, you are welcome. i never shared a description in this thread, because it was a port from the old forum. there is plenty of description of me between my two RPs (Zyarc and Aukonx). also, you RP very well, do you happen to do action RP?

@Doc, nice to have you back. how much longer til finals are over for you?)

[DrNumaNuma]

A glass of scotch lifts up from the bar and its contents disappears. "No you're not. I am."

Lucian gives a friendly punch to Zeke's shoulder and decloaked. "So this is where you bastards have been hiding?"

((I'll be at full steam Monday))

[The Shadow of Death]

(awesome... in a way. i will be gone from Sat to Wed barring any complications, hope to see you in full production then!

@Hapto, the all of us that are currently posting here can be found in one of the OOC threads for the RPs mentioned above.)

i stare at Lucian, "yes, this is where we go, i am surprised you made it. have a seat, drink, and stop being so arrogant......"

[DrNumaNuma]

"Well, I'm sitting, I stole someone's drink, and being dead sexy gives me a right to be arrogant. Maybe I should grow a beard..."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I look over at Adrian and a beard grows from his chin and immediately I rip it all off in a flick of my wrist, yanking every strand out by the roots. ((For comedy's sake of course.))

[The Shadow of Death]

(it was Lucian, not Adrian...)

[Hapto]

Allmy's still sitting on her chair, not seeing her waiting drink, not hearing the world around her, slowly rocking back and forth. Zeke's word still echoing around and around her head. "Fucking lifeless bastards." 'Lifeless.' 'Dead.' She isn't dead. She escaped that future, those visions. She's isn't dead. As she sits there rocking waves of her hair starts rising slightly, flicking, chaotic, the air around her shimmering. She sees is all removed from herself, looking down at Zeke's back, seeing his silver arms. The metal cold, like her cell. Unfeeling, like the men that tested her, hurt her. Dead, like she should be.

Everyone hears her scream without words: "I'm not dead!" Zeke's table bursts into flames.

(@Shadow, ty, trying to get into action RP, but don't exactly have any experience with either. I'm also aware setting fire to things and people is probably gonna get her kicked out - the dangers of playing a character that's more than a few sticks short of a bundle)

[Hapto]

Allmy's still sitting on her chair, silent, not even hearing the world around her, slowly rocking back and forth, Zeke's word echoing round and round her head. "Fucking lifeless bastards." 'Lifeless.' 'Dead.' She isn't dead. She escaped that future, those visions. She's isn't dead. As she sits there rocking, her hair starts rising around her, flicking, chaotic, the air between it shimmering. She sees this as if removed from herself, looking down at Zeke's back, seeing his silver arms. The metal is cold, like her tiny cell. Unfeeling, like the men that tested her, hurt her. Dead, like she should be.

Everyone hears her scream without words: "I'm not dead!" Zeke's table bursts into flames.

(@Shadow, ty, trying to get into action RP, but don't exactly have any experience with either. I'm also aware setting fire to things and people is probably gonna get her kicked out - the dangers of playing a character that's more than a few sticks short of a bundle)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Since when are my arms silver?))

I look at my burning table and sigh, not moving. "I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about them."

[The Shadow of Death]

i wave a hand and the table is restored as my voice reached into the chaos within her mind silently, "calm. we know you are not dead. drink, forget the past for a small while. rest..."

[Xadrian]

Xadrian enters the tavern and instantly notices a table that has been set ablaze. After the patron extinguishes the fire with a simple gesture he asks "Is this a bad time? I just wanted a drink."

[The Shadow of Death]

"well... we have a chaotic and detatched individual that is easily disturbed from the looks of it. she set the table ablaze, i put it out, simple. i am trying to keep her calm, so please, take a seat and have a drink."

[Hapto]

(@Zeke - my bad, in your other rps your arms are cybernetic - again my trying to cobble together physical details best I can with limited success)

Allmy's breaths are getting shorter and sharper, her mind burning with her own misguided thoughts looping themselves into a frenzy. But then the chaos parts, as she hears the voice insider her head. Easing her away from her phobias, calming her away from her panic. Reassuring her that everything's alright.

She settles back into her seat, the absence of panic letting shame fill it's place. She's done it again. But - there's no yelling. No surprise at her lighting a table on fire with her mind, and no screaming and crying and calls to destroy the monster. There's no fear. For once, there's no fear.

Her voice sounds throughout the bar, a whisper very small. S-sorry.

On the barstool she's still shrunk within herself. Her mind unconsciously grants her desire to hide as her image breaks into ash and is gone, hiding her from most of the bar, leaving only her drink shaking as it rises upwards, as she looks down at it's white surface rippling in her unsteady grip. She's never had alcohol before, and she tries to occupy her troubled mind with wondering what it will taste like.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I stand up and walk over to the bar where she sat. I lean over and say "You don't need to bide. Everyone here is a freak. Hell, EVERYONE'S a freak! No need to be ashamed." I then extend my arms outward and say "You need a hug. Come on, just a hug. You know you want one." My face reveals a gentle smile across my face.

((They are only cybernetic in that one RP. All other RPs I'm mostly a demon and such or some other kind of nonesense. But right now I'm human. Just look at my avatar.))

[Hapto]

She doesn't move at first, slowly lowering her shaking drink, not looking at him, then throwing herself into his arms. In all her memory, it's the first hug she's ever had.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I wrap my arms around her and pat her back. "Better?" My embrace is warm and comforting. A strange warmth travels through her body.

[Hapto]

She snuggles into him a minute, loosing herself for just a moment in the present. She lets go just as suddenly, returning to her barstool, blushing slightly. Her hands are much steadier as she takes her drink again.

"So, what do you do here?" She tries small talk. She's never been any good at it - talking, the inefficient quest for answers she can easily see. But it's polite.

She swishes her drink, sipping it slightly and recoiling back. She's felt the intense warmth of alcohol in other's minds so many times, can tell by the taste what malt of whiskey someone is drinking or the vintage of a chateaus she's never herself tasted. But actually experiencing it herself, the dry, biting, coarse warmth of the liquid carrying with it the delicate intricateness of smoother and richer tones, a symphony of subtle tastes made more intense by the burn - the experience is so much more interesting when it's hers.

[Spartan-101]

"Ooh, Zeke made friends with the new person." Says the spartan in the corner, giving a slight wave in the chance that Allmy heard him.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I shoot a glance at Spartan and turn back to Allmy and sit next to her and say "Nobody does anything around here. We just sit, drink, and remember how this place used to have new visitors every day. But those days are gone. They might come back some day."

[DrNumaNuma]

"Some day. Some day." Adrian ponders. He finishes cleaning glasses, puts away the towels and removes his gloves, carefully setting them back on the counter. "I hope to come back myself."

"Where are you going?" Lucian questions.

"Nowhere in particular. And before I forget..." Adrian lifts up a glass containing 1 part Amaretto, 1 part Grand Marnier, 1 part Southern Comfort, a dash of hemlock, and distilled dragon blood. "It's called the Wonderland. Enjoy." And he slides it down the bar to tsod.

Lucian finishes his drink. "Nowhere.... do you mind some company?"

Adrian smiles. "Not at all. I know you wish to challenge me again and win some day."

"I look forward to it." Says Lucian after a laugh. He slams his drink and stands, bowing to the other patrons. Adrian exits from behind the bar and begins a walk to the door, flanked closely by Lucian. As they both leave, Adrian holds back for a moment and looks back in the doorway. "Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again."

And they are gone.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Doc's gone now? WTF?))

[The Shadow of Death]

(honestly, this thread dies when the barkeep leaves, unless someone else takes the reins.)

i catch the glass without looking as a shadow plays across my osseous face, showing what seems to be a smile as i look to Allmy.
i tip back the drink, and watch as Adrian leaves.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I look at the door as Adrian leaves along with the other. I turn to Shadow and say "I honestly have no idea about anything when it comes to alcoholic drinks mixing with crazy shit like Dragon's blood."

[The Shadow of Death]

(neither do i. Doc filled the spot to perfection with Adrian. and from the looks of it, we may be barless until he re-emerges from the darkness known as reality...)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Oh well. This IS the Internet. It's not like anyone we meet should be a major person to us. Shit happens after all. Nothing we can do. Reality always comes before fantasy))

[The Shadow of Death]

(its all according on who it is. Doc was one of the few major players of TR, like you and i. he made some big ass shoes here, finding the people to fill them is going to be hell.)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Finding anybody to actually STAY on this site is gonna be hard. All we have is people who join, stay for a few days then leave.))

[The Shadow of Death]

(well, we have hapto, who is pretty damn good at RPing, but i agree. Xadrian has stuck around, but i am unsure if he would join... we need to move this discussion to Aukonx OOC.)

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian walks back into the tavern, giving a polite bow to the occupants. "I apologize for my extended leave. But, I am here to resume my duties."

He opens the latch to the bar and steps behind the counter, securing it in place. "How may I be of service?"

[FluffyFox1213]

Ray walks in and quietly sits at the table in the middle of the tavern, his dark blue armor shimmering in the dim light as he sets his rifle next to his chair and leans back in the chair, balancing on the back legs, crossing his legs on the table as he removes his helmet with a loud hiss, then sets it on the table and pulls out his knife, picking dirt out from the joints in his power armor with it, yawning and muttering to himself as he waits to be served.

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian walks over to the newcomer and, removing the flask form under the counter, fills up a shot glass for the man. "It's my own personal cache of whiskey. Brewed by the Guild of Surgeon Barbers in 1510. Enjoy."

[FluffyFox1213]

Ray puts his knife away as he looks at Adrian, then the shot glass. "Whiskey? you read my mind!!" Ray grabs the glass and downs its contents in two gulps, cringing at the burn of alchohol as he sets the glass back on the table, then looks around the tavern. "This place looks pretty empty... looks like a nice establishment... too bad you don't have many customers lately." With that he went back to cleaning the dirt from his armored suit, muttering to himself again.

[DrNumaNuma]

"It is. There were days where the bar would have been filled to the brim, but those days where before I came to this place. If you need anything else, or just wish to chat, please feel free to stop by any time you desire. Although I am only substituting for the real owner, I will give my best attempt to act as her replacement. " Adrian takes ray's glass and begins to clean it.

[FluffyFox1213]

Ray puts his knife away again and stands up, grabbing his rifle and putting it over his shoulder, resting his other hand on Adrian's shoulder as he leans in, whispering. "Listen... i'm in a bit of a jam right now, i have a bounty hunter on my tail and i need a room for the night, i can't pay for it right away but i am expecting a big transfer to my account by tomorrow... i'm an assassin, you see... i have a lot of enemies and i just need this one favor."

[DrNumaNuma]

Adrian raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"


He folds his arms over his chest and ponders for a moment. "The Mistress required that no guest may be denied, and I do not wish to disallow her wishes; hypocrisy rots this world." He nods. "Very well, the room is yours. Just go up the stairs," he points to the corner of the bar to the wooden steps. "and just choose any room that suits your taste; all rooms are vacant."

[FluffyFox1213]

Ray nods to Adrian as a thankful gesture, then runs upstairs and picks the last door on the left, opening it up and walking inside.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

I poke my head up from in between my arms. "I miss BH. Doesn't anybody have contact with her. She was fun. And enough of thinking about the past! We need to get some newcomers in here as fast as possible. We can't just have people disappearing out of existence then reappearing several months later! It's not NATURAL!"
