Tilara

"Um........not meaning to stare, but do you like spiders? I mean, REALLY REALLY BIG ONES??" She continues to stare, but not at him, at a spot just over his left shoulder.....She slowly backs to the table, and picks up her hoopak behind her back. "Sorry to have angered you, I don't like being chased by frogs, but you could've warned tho, and could I have some coffee? I promise to behave..."

She keeps backing up as she talks, her eyes getting bigger and bigger.......

OOC: *LMAO* sorry, just had to

ROFLMAO!) ~Hanging his head, Tobias pointed at the tavern you were approaching.~ "There it is... My doom... ER." ~He snapped his head up and forced a huge fake grin.~ "The Lucky Lance Tavern." ~The inn was fairly quiet within. You assumed that most of the patrons were sleeping upstairs or passed out drunk at the bar. A fair crowd however was gathered by the fireplace, the people sleepliy chatting amongst themselves. Hanging on the back wall you could see a huge shining lance, somewhat bent at the end. Tobias called out to the bartender, an older human man with grey hair and his fair share of wrinkles and scars.~ "Ey' Phil!" ~The innkeeper acknowledged curiously.~ "The gal's just headin' up to mine! Don't get anyone to kill her!" ~Phil laughed and nodded. Tobias then reluctantly traded you a key for Kuroshi.~ "Fourth door from the end on the right. Sorry, but the place is booked solid and this is the only other tavern in town." ~Kuroshi gurgled, now eagerly gnawing on Tobias' thumb. The bard whimpered.~ "Please don't take too long! I don't want to know where he'll bite me next!" ~Kuroshi looked smugly at you, pointed at Tobias and cooed.~ "Gurl." ~Kuroshi then grappled onto one of the earrings on Tobias' left ear. Tobias winced then said.~ "Ahhhh... Ahhhh... Ouuuchhhh..." ~Trying to pull Kuroshi's stubborn hand away, he waved you away with his free hand.~ "Run Skye! Run well you still can! I'll hold him off!! Owwwww!"

OOC- ROFLMAO Aaah, dont DO that!!! XD i practically spit coffee all over the computer screen! ^.^ I dont know whether or not the bard is yummy, but he sure is funny. (hey, that rhymed. maybe ill make a half-decent bard after all..) ^_^
IC:Skye
Castle Grella, in The Lucky Lance Tavern
Giving Tobias a sympathetic glance, Skye hurriedly made her exit. "Fourth from the right... fourth from the right... Ah! Here it is." She unlocked the door and walked in, unsure as to what she'll see. The place was rather clean, and roomy. Tobias, she supposed, got a better choice of board, since he performed at the tavern. In the main room that she was currently in there was a desk and other such accessories. Off to the left there was obviously a bedroom. Not wanting to pry, Skye decided not to go in. Finally, she found the bathroom near the back of the main room, off to the right. Walking in, she gasped with delight. "Finally! Hot, running water!!"
After soaking in the tub for abit, Skye sat up guiltily. She had almost forgot Tobias and Kuroshi's predicament. Washing off one more time, she got out with a sigh. When she was out in the main room, towel still wrapped around her, she stopped, as realization hit. "I don't have anything clean to wear... I left my pack downstairs with Tobias and Kuroshi. Of all the stupid things-!" She smacked her head with the palm of her hand lightly, cross with herself. After awhile, she pulled herself together. Skye certainly didn't want Tobias to come up to give her her pack, and she DEFINATELY wasn't putting her dirty clothes back on. Pursing her lips, she strode over to a chair, and picked up one of Tobias' shirts. Wrinkling her nose slightly, Skye decided that she'd have to temporarily borrow some of Tobias' clothes, at least for a short while. "And if he complains, I can just say that I did it out of pity for him, since he had to watch Kuroshi. After all," She reasoned with herself, "I could just stay up here, locked in his room until someone brings me my things." Nodding to herself, Skye found the cleanest clothes she could find in the main room. She still thought that it would be somewhat rude to intrude in Tobias' bedroom.
A short while later, she stood in front of a mirror, and patted the clothes experimentally. she had on a slightly wrinkled cream coloured shirt, which was a bit big on her. Probably due to the fact that he was half-elf, while she was pure elf. She had put a leather belt on to hold up the pants but, even though she had the belt at its highest notch, they still threatened to sag. Shrugging, she combed her hair with her fingers, and flung her cloak over the obsurdly fitting outfit.
Skye slowly walked back to where she had left Tobias and Kuroshi, slightly embarrassed as some of the men at the bar would occasionally give her appraising looks, or raise their eyebrows at her outfit. She pulled her cloak around her more closely, in an attempt to hide her clothing. "Where could they have possibly gone?" she muttered to herself, as she tried not to blush with embarrassment.

Murdock

The two make it down to the streets, where Murdock promptly picked up a very surprised Mia and ran across the steet with her, trying to hush her agitated voice. Once across the street, he could bare her fightng no more and dropped her abruptly to the ground. She scowled and for a minute, Murdock thought he saw her hand go to that place she had concealed her shiny new toy. He smiled at her and offered a hand up, then offered to dust off her back-side, to which he received a quick smack to the face. Bowing low, he motioned forward as a sign to get moving along the side walk.

Ok, I'll tell you where you are... Heh heh... Edge of the Irony Forest.

~Shadowfall once again raised his eyebrow.~ "You're a very good man, doing such things for the poor... It seems to me though..." ~He reached into the knothole of a tree, pulling out a familiar pouch.~ "That you wait quite some time to relay this gold." ~He poured the contents of the pouch into his gloved hand.~ "Mmmm mmmm mmmm... It seems your story contradicts your purse." ~Replacing the gold to the pouch he put it back into the tree. He then hunched down to face you.~ "Look... I don't want to make this difficult! If you'd told the truth, you'd be halfway to the Bulwark by now. Now..." ~He held up an index finger.~ "I'll give you one more chance. And if you lie again..." ~He drew out the katana, it gleamed silver. A sadistic grin crossed his face.~ "I'll cut your bonds the the tree and this world."

Glorfindel
Lake Eharra

~Lothali's almond shaped eyes widened to an enormous size.~ "B-bb-!" ~She scowled at your chuckle.~ "How? How can that be? Kalluin, I'm one of the Watchers. I'm supposed to have a sixth sense about these sort of things! I-... If you were anything but pure sea elf I should have known. There's something wrong with you Kalluin. Seriously wrong! Only odd magics can cloud the sight of dolphins and Watchers alike." ~She peered at you through narrowed eyes.~

~Axel nodded.~ "Apology accepted. I'll get you some coffee in a moment. But first!" ~With a quick flick of his wrist he grabbed a kitchen knife, turned on a heal, and stabbed the spider. Goring the knife into the wooden counter, the arachnid twitched a moment, then fell dead. Spider impaled, Axel held the knife up to your face. Too close for comfort...~ "Do you want it?"

~Your head snapped around as you heard a loud cry.~ "Rawwawwweeeyy!" ~There was a lute being played, to a tune you'd never heard. You saw Tobias by the fire, Kuroshi sat up by his side. Tobias was tapping a foot to the beat and singing a lively song. A crowd was around, laughing, drinking, and listening.~

...He'd the cunning of a gnoll,
Though the fangs he did lack.
The smell of a troll,
With no sway to his back.

Who is this demon?
And where could you see?
Why, he's sitting right here!
He's drooling on me!...

~With that the audience laughed and applauded, begging for an encore. You could hear Kuroshi chirp.~ "Ughm!" ~Tobias looked up and saw you. From where you were standing you could see his ears turn red. Settling the crowd he collected his newly gained gold and Kuroshi.~ "Er, excuse me good folk..."

~Biting his lip, Tobias trotted over. Kuroshi looked up at you with a horrified expression.~ "GURL?!" ~Tobias chuckled weakly.~ "Uhm... Heh heh... I like your outfit." ~He sniffed.~ "Kind of funny... I've uh... Heh... Got one just like it!" ~He laughed.~ "Yes well um... Obviously you don't want to uh..." ~He stammered.~ "How about you take your pack..." ~He handed such to you.~ "And uhm... I'll uh..." ~He chuckled.~ "I'll just follow you back up and you can er... Use the bathroom and uh... I'll just uh..." ~He looked down at a yawning Kuroshi and smiled.~ "And I'll bed down the little Hell spawn. Okay? Then me and you can come back down here and have some fun babe!... I MEAN... Uh... Heh heh heh..." ~He scratched the back of his head with his spare hand.~ "I mean... Discuss political affairs over a nice non-alcoholic beverage. Yeah... That's what I meant. Okay?"

Murdock
Halfway to getting mauled by a disgruntled elf chick.
(ooc: I'll be PMing you real soon Larry.)

~Mithia tried very hard to look solemn as the two of you made your way down the street. Twas in vain. She had a joke in mind and she couldn't resist. By the time you two reached the corner she was hanging on your shoulder and whimpering.~ "Muuurrdoockk!" ~She whined.~ "My tail hurts!" ~She pointed an accusing finger at you.~ "You broke it!"

[Larry_OHF]

Murdock

"Your what???
I don't remember seeing any...
Oh! Wait...you're kidding, right?

[TAOWolf]

Tilara
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH!!

Backpedals, knocks a table over, as she falls she kicks the knife out of his hand, it sticks in the ceiling, the table falls into the fireplace, knocking over the cauldron of stew all over the floor, she rides the warm wave right into Axel, bowling him over end over end.............

They end up in the corner, her sitting on top of him and grinning...

"WOW!!! That was fun!!"... She kisses him smack on the lips...

OOC: *ROTFLMAO*

Daelan

"Very well, it appears that you're not as stupid as you look. I AM a thief like I told you but I care not for the poor, more often than not their own stupidity is the cause of their poverty. I was planning to steal that glorified butter knife of yours and sell it, then use the money to live in luxury. Happy now? I've told you the truth this time."

(ooc: Larry, if I have to come up with ONE MORE thing about those DAMNED swords!!! I'll eat you Larry!)

"No!" ~She huffed.~ "And now I'm going to break your tail just to get back at you!" ~Before you could react Mia had jumped up and landed her foot square on its target. Mia stood with a maniacal grin on her face. A dusty boot-print remained, strewn across your posterior.~

Tilara
Trails Inn
(ooc: WHOA! Whatta friggin' visual! ROTFLMAO!)

"Mmymm!" ~Axel pulled away his head forcefully, glaring at you with icey eyes. He scowled as dark as he could for a minute before cracking. His head dropped to the floor and he began laughing hysterically. Between gasps you could hear bits and pieces.~ "Gah! You... Stupid!! *Gasp!* Stupid little... HAHAAHAAA!" ~It was really rather frightening how hard he was laughing. His entire frame was shaking.~

Daelan
Irony Forest

~The wood-elf nodded.~ "I hope you've learned something today. Now... All of your things are in that tree right there. I'm going to cut you lose and give you five minutes to grab everything and get out of my sight. All right?? If you're within a mile of these woods I'll have somebody shoot you. Fair? Of course it is." ~He sliced the ropes effortlessly with his scimitar, then resheathed the blade, straightening.~ "Now run."

OOC- thanx for the warning, lol. ^___^ "political affairs over a nice non-alcoholic beverage"? now where have i heard that before... ^.~
IC- Skye
Castle Grella, in The Lucky Lance Tavern
Skye's face by then was as equally as red as Tobias. She started to speak, and then stopped to clear her throat. "Er, ahem. So I suppose that means you would like to hold Kuroshi?"
The three of them made it back to Tobias' room, and they stood about for a bit, awkwardly. After some slightly embarrassed conversation, Skye made another hurried exit to the bathroom, gear in tow, while Tobias went around to get stuff for Kuroshi to sleep in. Kuroshi was oblivious to the two elves' discomfort, and was crowing with delight, while giving Skye the occasional worried glance, with the accompanying chirp of "Gurl?!!?!"
(while in the bathroom...) "Ye gods, I've never had this much trouble with someone since, since forever!" Skye was muttering to herself, while she decided which of her clean clothes to change into. "A bard like me isn't supposed to have difficulty talking to someone, it cramps our style.." she continued saying confusing things to herself, in reflection of her equally as confused emotions. Finally giving an exasperated sigh, she turned and scowled at a mirror. "I'm not used to having guys hit on me!!!" She wailed, making sure that no one that would be listening outside could hear her. Turning back around, she decided on the delicate midnight blue dress, that accented her hair and eyes. Changing into it, she studied herself in the mirror, and nodded contentedly. "Hmph, now they'll be no mistake as to who's a girl and who isn't."
Skye, after adding a few finishing touches to her hair and such, flounced out of the bathroom, and set her pack down against a wall. Turning back around, she noticed Tobias standing in the doorway to his bedroom. His jagged brown hair was a bit mussed, probably because of some tussle with the demonic Kuroshi. She suddenly realised that neither of them were talking. "What are you looking at?" Skye said, a little more grouchily then she had intended. She looked about, as a desperate attempt at conversation. She got nervous when people would stare and not talk. "So, where's Kuroshi? The little monster asleep?" Skye asked hesitantly.
