RE: The Silver Cheshire ( Bar/Leisure Topic )
( Teox: While part of me wants to bite just to step up to the challenge, I realized its bad form. Leave by your own will and bring in a playable character. This will be important later on, if this progresses farther.
Rhino: Been a while for me too. No problem.
Namine: Doing good, like you have years of experience and havent done it in a while. Keep it up and youll be fine.
Just to clarify- for me, This is a thought and "This is speech." Everyone does it differently, so dont hold anyone to that as an exact standard. )
Raccoon had had the bar open for only a few minutes, when a stout woman with an axe entered and seated herself at the bar. She said with a smile, "Yo barkeep; get me a Whiskey."
He had watched her enter and seat herself, and while there was something wrong about her, he just couldnt place it. He set down the glass and towel, and reached up into an open cabinet and pulled down a bottle. "Whiskey right? How's this?"
And then he saw it, with her still grinning. She was wearing a blinder, whether or not she was actually blind. Moron. He tried his best to catch it in stride, "One of the best I have in stock, bottled in.."
He snuck a quick glance at the label. "..Alberta." Reaching behind and grabbing the perfectly cleaned glass, he reminded himself not to do fancy tricks ( blind! ) and began pouring the drink, and when finished, slid it in front of her. "First day, first drink on the house. Another will be Two Hundred Zeny."
( Gah, must remember to check the order people put themselves in at. )
He didnt want to seem like a hawk, so he looked around and saw that somehow he had missed the entrance of a very pretty Priestess.. *High* Priestess? Wow, shes a long way from home, he thought to himself. Better go over and chat, surely she cant be that confortable in here.
He tapped the bar in front of the axe woman twice and said quietly "Let me know if you need anything else, okay?" and then turned around, looking up and down for something that would be within her tastes. Wine? Bit of a stereotype, but without knowing her tastes, a fair bet. He pulled down the bottle and poured the glass half full, just enough for someone to enjoy the deep red liquid without feeling its effects. Usually.
He walked to the end of the bar and came around it with ease, keeping a good pace and lightly holding the drink level with his chest. ( Now, right here I could have walked straight up to Namine. But, I remembered I needed to do a physical appearance description too. Find a way to add it so that it feels as if it is simply part of the story and nothing more. )
He looked to the High Priestess guest, and saw that her tiara was on the table and staff was on the floor; with her head on the wall. Wow, she must be tired, or far too trusting of others. Perhaps it was simply bad luck or the vengeance of an angry deity, but at that moment he clipped a chair with his leg and almost lost control of the drink. He caught his balance before it was too late, but he did spill some of it upon his red and black clothes. ( Assume the appearance of the Assassin, since he has been wearing a Pantie, lol ) Most of the moisture soaked in instantly and the other part evaporated quickly on contact thanks to the heat, but he still wiped lightly at the spot as a bit of a reflex. Gah, idiot. Be more careful!
Pushing up his Sweet Gent out of his eyes, he took the few steps more to the priestess and tried his best to hide his embarrassment. Setting the glass on the table, he came to a crouch to be a little below her eye level and said "This one is on the house, dear. Is there anything else I can get for you, and if you dont mind me asking, what brings you to this part of the world?"
( Long? Yes. Time Consuming? YES. But to see everything come together brings a bit of pride because you can read it and remember thinking what to write next, and here it is, reading like a book. Amazing feeling, and I really do miss it.
Also, once people get introduced and added my posts shouldnt be nearly as long. Youll see the difference once people start conversing.. The longest parts are usually the intros or heated discussions.
For anyone joining in now- it will be hard to add yourself and make sense as to why no one noticed you, etc. Easiest entrance at this point would be as Raccoon trips on the chair, or as he is crouched next to Namine. Come in and sit down, and he will come over and help. By yelling for assistance instantly, that puts a bit of a damper on any continued discussion me and Namine might have had. Time can be tricky to manipulate when RPing, but with practice you figure out just how to do it without messing with anyone else. )
