"Say, let's all go to the tavern and have ourselves a little dinner. We can all have a little chat and get to know each other a little better over some grub. How's that sound?"
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “We have important things to do but I suppose we now need to wait for Guiscard, so sure. I'll ask Kashi and her brother if they'd like to join us...”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Yea, Guiscard looks like he's going to be busy with his friend for a while."
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Walks over to Kashi and Sukoshi and waits for them to pause their conversation before inviting them to come to the tavern.
little song08/06/2019 S: “Sure. Thank you.” K: “I don’t have any money.” S: “I can take care of it.” Offers an arm to help her in. Kashi takes it, but after a few steps Sukoshi just picks her up and carries her.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Now isn't that sweet." Follows behind them to the tavern.
little song08/06/2019 They claim a table off to the side. And he goes for food.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Comes back with some soup and bread. "So Kashi, what do you think of your brother?"
little song08/06/2019 “He seems kind. He does look a lot like me too.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Now you see why we were so confused at the funeral."
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Jade sits quietly.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Chews on a mouthful of bread. "So do you think he'll be willing to stick around and help us? We could use him."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Comes into the Tavern glancing around looking for her group.
little song08/06/2019 “I don’t know. He’s barely had a chance to say anything yet.” Watches him. Basically two identical Kokkans. On in blue at the counter and on in red sitting in the corner.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Sees the two Kokkans and frowns slightly, but doesn't say anything. Spots Jade and Beakerson as well.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Gets some bread and soup along with a drink.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Waves to Nascha. "Hey Nascha! Over here!"
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nods and comes over. “Hello.” Quiet smile.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Care to join us for dinner?"
little song08/06/2019 He finishes up and comes over with two bowls of soup and starts talking in Kokkan again. And she responds in Kokkan.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 “Alright.” Glances at Sukoshi then turns to go get food.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Hey English guys, so we can all get in on the conversation. Let's get to know each other."
little song08/06/2019 Sukoshi glares at him. K: “Umm. I think this should be just between us for now.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 A very large man bursts in. Large as in, tall, broad, and his voice bellowing from behind a great red beard in a very rumbling voice, he starts singing, “Alas did I go out to hunt, Nothing gets by Runt! I am Runt! I am Runt! Out for a bear, I was on the hunt!” Slams a bear head onto the bar top. Roaring laughter from Runt.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Is on her feet momentarily when the man bursts in.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Okay, because you asked me nicely Kashi, I'll let you two have your talk. But I suggested this so we can all become friends."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “HA! HA! HAA!” He is passed a free beer. Some of the men in the tavern raise their glasses.
little song08/06/2019 S glares over at him and heavy sighs. “歌詞ちゃん？いきますか？” K: “いえ 伊賀ら”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “Doctor, give them room.” A bit terse due to the commotion in the room.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Stares at the bear's head that was plopped in front of her while waiting for her food.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt puts up his hands. “Now that we no longer have the Bloodhammers to listen too!” Crowd gathers to listen. “Allow me to be the first—” thrusts a finger in the air. “To explain how I spent OUR new freedom!”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Spies the bear head on the counter. "Oh gross. Yo buddy! People are trying to eat here!"
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Stares at the bears dull eyes and reaches out her hand to touch the top of the fur. Mumbles something in her native tongue.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “I chased Lexron to his lair, and now he try to take a bite out of small Runt at his door.” Raises bear head. “Our cows will be sleeping easy from now on!” Crowd cheers.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Gosh and I thought Sukoshi was lacking manners."
little song08/06/2019 Ignores him and continues talking.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “So I was heading back to town, when these vermin jumped out of the woods, like they were kinsaplings or somethin. Don't know where they came from, but, they seemed in a hurry...so ole Runt asks what the trouble is...till one with a nasty scar drew his blade, as though I'd insulted his momma.”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Takes her soup and bread, but remains standing near Runt, watching.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Them were three, verses me, and ole Lexron here.” Pats bear head.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Glances at the head not saying a word.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Long story short, Lex and I make a good team! I had em a runnin!” Crowd laughter.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 “And yet you killed your friend after he came to your side?” To Runt in a calm but pointed voice.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt raises his glass. “To freedom! The crowd cheers again, and the tavern goes back to normal.”
little song08/06/2019 K: いき わかります。
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "That was the weirdest story I ever heard."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Chokes on his drink. “Excuse me? Can I help you?” at Nascha.
little song08/06/2019 They silent now.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Through the window, Guiscard can be seen strolling with Arnol.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Stares at the bear’s head then to Runt. “You said this bear came when you were being attacked, yet here is this creature. Dead. Which you are parading with folly.” Stares Runt in the eyes her black eyes alight with anger.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “What? No! The Bear was already dead miss, or did you only hear half the story?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Oh please don't tell it again." Beakerson says quietly.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Watches Runt and spits out the next words with barely contained contempt. “You must respect all of Elyon’s creatures.”
little song08/06/2019 K: “You said someone with a scar?”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 “You may have conquered a mighty foe but respect the life it lost.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Moves to Nascha's side. "Hey easy now Nascha. This isn't the time or place to be getting all riled up. Just take it easy."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt folds his massive arms. To Nascha, “Listen miss, I don't want to be hearing none of that. No trouble outta you and you can sleep easy knowing Runt ain't mad at you.”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Watches Nascha's interaction with Runt.
little song08/06/2019 Twins go back to talking.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Stares him down and says something with a harsh tone in her native tongue, then grabs her food and heads towards the tables.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Raises eyebrows but doesn't interfere.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “Good move!” Random person near where Nascha is sitting: “That bear took three of my cows, so don't you be defending it, you here?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Sorry to bother you, Mister Grunt...I mean Brunt err Runt."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Sits taller and stoic ignoring the random person.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “No problems! What can I do you for?” Random person turns to finish his plate
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Oh nothing sir, I was just trying to look after my friend. Didn't want anything to get, you know.....messy."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha's face is tense.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “You suggesting I did something I shouldn't? Listen here friend.” Jabs a finger at him. “This bear killed dozens of our livestock, so I did my neighbor's a good deed, what's a wrong with that? If that's no good that yer not welcome here.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Oh I'm not judging you, sir. I just don't want there to be a fight. You enjoy your beer and we'll finish our food and be on our way."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Tries to bite her tongue but one thing slips. “And the bear must have been hungry to eat you're cattle. Which means your woods are barren of good hunting.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Yelling at Runt causes a few men to spit their drinks.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Not helping here Nascha." Beakerson hisses.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Walks quickly, but calmly over to Beakerson. Quietly. “Please go take your food and sit while I take care of this.” Turns to Runt.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Sukoshi's senses tell him, unless he is too caught in his conversation, that there are three no good chaps in the corner, trying to not be seen by Runt, they use the distraction begin making their way slowly to the exit. Runt's big eyes are burning now The tavern is still, all eyes on the Mantis, Runt and the Doctor. Many of them stand and flock around Runt in his defense.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Coolly to Runt. “I don't agree with my friends and I think it's perfectly reasonable if you killed the bear but I'm afraid you will have to pardon my friends. We all have our own opinions.”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Is realizing her mistake and is trying to inwardly calm down.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “Ma'am...you tell your friend there, to keep it shut, that talk isn't gonna fly around here...understood?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Let's go Jade, before this turns ugly." Beakerson urges.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “I'll tell my friend what I want to, sir. But I'll take your advice into account.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Nods. “Good girl.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Don't anyone else say nothing stupid now. Lets go."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha pays for her food and rises to leave. Accidentally knocking into one of the three men trying to exit unnoticed.
little song08/06/2019 S was turned around watching this.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “HEY! OUTTA THE WAY!” At Nascha. “They make a hurried exit. Just as they all escape out the door, two cinnamon tunics bearing a white sword enter the tavern.”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Glances at him sharply. “Watch how you talk to her.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Both sets of eyes scan the room
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Let's get dinner someplace else shall we Guiscard?" Beakerson says to the knight. He grabs his bag and hurries towards the door, but quickly turns back around and heads for the counter. He pulls out his sanitizer and sprays down the bear head before hurrying for the door again.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Turns to the men. And says in a stiff tone. “My... apologies.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Both thinking: What on earth is going on? As Beakerson is leaving, one of Runt's cronies puts out his foot, tripping him.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Beakerson sprawls to the floor.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Hey! Easy!” Says another. “They did save our town!”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Eyes alight with anger she is trying to control.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard helps Beakerson up.
little song08/06/2019 Sukoshi stands. Give a very deliberate look to Guiscard and then heads to the villager that tripped him. S: “Do we have a problem here?”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 To Beakerson, “Here, your spectacles.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Thank you."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Walks towards the door ready for anything that may ensue.
little song08/06/2019 Sukoshi is 5’4”. Doesn’t looks imposing at first.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Man is literally a head higher. “What lady? You gonna use that switch?” Talking about his sword. Other Man: “Easy I said, she is the one that helped us.” Another man: “No it was the one at the table in red, this one is fair game.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 At hearing Runt call Sukoshi lady, "Uh oh."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard: “Excuse me, Doctor.” Is surprised to see Sukoshi back. Goes to his side.
little song08/06/2019 Calm at the jab.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Arnol: goes to Jade and the others. “Let’s get you out of here.”
little song08/06/2019 “I don’t agree with the lady’s opinion of the bear but that’s no reason to take it out on the guy that tried to make peace with you.” Very tense and ready to act.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “She's right, Jahab!”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Stands her ground.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard: Whispers. “Jade, Sukoshi, let's go.”
little song08/06/2019 Holds out hand to his sister and helps her up, leaving. They do grab their bowls of soup.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt and the men stare. “Jade...now!”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Slowly takes a step back and follows the rest outside.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 The door suddenly swings open and a monk walks in. His hood is up concealing his face. He looks around. "What is this? Runt are you bothering these people?"
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt looks: “N-No! They were bothering me!”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Looks around again and spies the bear head. "I see you've been busy." Turns to Guiscard. "I hope you and your friends weren't causing any trouble. Or Runt causing too much trouble for you."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “It was Jahab here! He made fun of the Kokkan girls.”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “There were rash words spoken by both parties.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard: “No more than we could handle, thank you!” Pushes past him. Guiscard gives Jade a look that says. "No more dialogue, get out now!
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Jahab, for shame. I thought we talked about this?" To Guiscard in his own native language. "My apologies for Runt’s behavior."
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Stubbornly leans against the door frame, not intending to go anywhere yet.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard stops when he hears the familiar tongue. Jahab: “Yeah! You shoulda seen them! They looked so mad, specially the one in red, she limped on out. Must been done good by them vermin out there.” Runt: Shakes Jahab's shoulder. “Look who you’re talking to, fool!” Tries to apologize for him. “He don't mean it sir, honest, you know he used to be Bloodhammer, hasn't quite lost his appettite for fighting.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Enough! Let these fine folks be on their way. Or if they wish to finish their meal then allow them to do so in peace." To Jade in her native tongue. "I'm sorry for the trouble. I hope you weren't hurt."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Ok! Yer right! Fella's! Let's give em some space!”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Surprised slightly, responds. “No, sir. Thank you.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Speaking to Kashi and Sukoshi in Kokkan. "Are you and your sister well? I'm sorry for the disturbance."
little song08/06/2019 S: “There was never any danger to us. Just didn’t want a fight breaking out.” K: Smiles.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "I'm glad to. Here." Speaking in English again. "Please, won’t you all sit down? I promise you there will be no more problems with Runt."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Has been prepared to fight, but also staying to the side so as not to cause more problems. Inwardly feeling bad about what she caused.
Dark Matter08/07/2019 Nods and moves to sit down again.
little song08/11/2019 S and k sit back down.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire [enters after Guiscard]. Walks about the tavern, curious.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "I shall speak to the owner and get you guys anything you'd like. He'd be more than happy to offer you a "refill" on your dinners."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Tries to keep by her master’s side but ends up drifting away in curiosity.
little song08/11/2019 K: that’s very kind of you but I wouldn’t want him inconvenienced
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "It's no trouble at all. I know him quite well. It's the least we can do for you." The Monk heads for the back of the tavern. At this point Beakerson pops out from behind a collapsed table. "Is it over yet?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “Yes, I’m sorry.” S: “Are you okay, doctor?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Stands up and brushes himself off. "Yes I'm quite alright. What happened anyway? Did we win the argument?"
little song08/11/2019 S: “Well.” Glances to Nascha. “Not exactly. It depends on the “we” and what the heck the argument was.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "So um...do we leave or are we going to finish dinner? 'Cause I thought we were leaving just a second ago?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “We’ll finish dinner.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Looks around noticing everyone going about their business like nothing happened. "What did I miss?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “Just a monk.” S: “Yes.” K: “What is it?” S: “Just wondering where he was from.” K: “He didn’t look Kokkan?” S: “No, but Hwarang had a gaijin for a while.” K: “Really?” S: Nods.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Sitting and quietly eating her soup, still not completely relaxed.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "A monk did this? What did he do, threaten to call down fire and brimstone on everybody?"
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire sees the group and walks over. Signs to Jade: Is everything alright?
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Gets the gist of what Squire says and nods, “Yeah, I'm fine. Did you get to eat?”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Pulls out some dried beef from her pouch. Signs: Need to restock here.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Smiles and stands. “Yeah, you need a good warm meal. Sit down and I'll get you some food. Does soup and bread sound good?”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Looks a little surprised at the offer. But after a moment nods somewhat eagerly.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 The Monk returns. "I've spoken with the owner and he apologizes for the trouble. You may-" He stops when he sees Beakerson. "Barney?"
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire sits down quietly but looks up when the monk comes in.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Smiles again and moves off to get her some food.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson stares at the Monk. "Andy?" The Monk removes his hood.
little song08/11/2019 S: “You know him?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "Andy!" Beakerson cries and runs over to give him a big hug.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire: O_O
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "Know him? I've known Andy since childhood. He was the first friend I ever made." Andy: "I heard rumors that you had traveled away from home, but didn't quite believe them until now."
little song08/11/2019 K: “Well everyone is just getting reunited.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire gives a small happy clap.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "What are you doing all the way out here anyway? I thought you were stick around Vachelous for a while?" Andy: "You know me, Barney. I don't stay in one place for long. I had plan on visiting you again."
little song08/11/2019 K: “He’s from there.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Well have I got some stories for you, pal. Sit down with us won’t you?"
little song08/11/2019 S: “Very skilled in language though.” They’re speaking quietly in Kokkan.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Returns with soup and bread for Squire.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire recognizes Sukoshi and waves to him. Looks up in eager thanks to Jade and takes it carefully.
little song08/11/2019 S: Nods to her.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Andy: "I'd be glad to Barney. It's been a while."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Listens in on the conversation but keeps her eyes to the soup.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson slaps his forehead. "Duh, manners Barney. Everyone, I like you to meet my friend, Andy. His real name is Ananias, but that's a mouthful for some people." "Andy, this is Squire and Jade."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Pulls her hood a little further down as she lets down part of the face mask to eat. Squire waves.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "And that's Sukoshi and Kashi."
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Holds a hand out to shake. “Call me Jade.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias shakes her hand. "I'm pleased to meet you all. I hope you've been able to keep Barney out of trouble."
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Half laughs. “I'm afraid hope has been a high-priced commodity and trouble comes often.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Is that a shot?"
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire looks amused.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "Don't worry about it Barney."
little song08/11/2019 S: Nods to him. K: “Nice to meet you.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Well this all makes sense now. I was wondering how these ruffians calmed down so fast."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire points to Guiscard.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "It didn't take too much convincing, Barney. I know these people well and we have a mutual respect for one another."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Do you live here?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "No, but I've been here for some time now. And it's not the first time I've visited this town."
little song08/11/2019 K: “You travel a lot now.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "I've traveled to many different places." Beakerson: "It's kind of how he knows so many languages." Ananias: "So, how long have you guys been here? Do you plan on staying long?"
little song08/11/2019 S: “You’ve been to Kokka?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "On several occasions yes. You've got wonderful people there."
little song08/11/2019 K: “Thank you.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "If I may ask, what part of Kokka are you from?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “Yoi Shihon.” S: “I’m a monk from Hwarang house.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "Yes, I believe I have heard of Hwarang house. I can't recall if I've been to Yoi Shihon, but I've been to so many places it's hard to keep track of."
little song08/11/2019 K: “That’s okay.” S: “I’m impressed with your understanding of the language.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "I've had good tutors. It's also easy to pick up on a language when you travel as much as I do."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Indeed. I never could speak Common well before I traveled.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Have you read our dictionaries? I don't get most of those words myself."
little song08/11/2019 K: “I studied Vachelous’ a bit. It is confusing.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Might explain some of Guiscard’s grumpiness perhaps."
little song08/11/2019 K: “Not at all.” Smiles. “He’s not grumpy when you get to know him.” S: “He’s passionate about his duty at least.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson, to Sukoshi: "You ain't been around him long enough buddy."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Possibly.” K: “How well do you know him?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Oh about as long as I've been in Middle March. But that's still longer than Sukoshi I'm sure." "Unless you two go way back like me and Andy here."
little song08/11/2019 S: “No.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "That's what I thought." Ananias chuckles. "Don't mind Barney. He prides himself in how long he's able to hang on to a friend."
little song08/11/2019 S: “I can understand that.” K: Chuckles.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "I've been blessed to have a friend like Barney. He's helped me through more than most people would give him credit for." Beakerson: "Aw, your just saying that."
little song08/11/2019 K: “He’s a skilled doctor.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "That he is. But enough about me, if I may ask, what brings you all the way out here. And how did you happen to come by Barney. He's never traveled outside his hometown his whole life."
little song08/11/2019 K: “I was sent to Middlemarch.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "On a quest for Donindor I presume?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “No, to scout and report to Hwarang.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Yeah we all kind of just randomly ran into each other at Middle March and we've been stuck together ever since." Points to Sukoshi. "Tree boy here though just joined us."
little song08/11/2019 S: “I’m scouting for a safe place for my master.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "By climbing trees and hiding from your sister? What kind of scout are you?" Ananias puts a hand on Beakerson's shoulder. "Now Barney, be nice. There's no need for jabs."
little song08/11/2019 S: “I was following you guys for two days before for your information.” K: “Why didn’t you help with the blood hammers?” S: “I was dealing with something.” K: “What?” S: “None of your concern.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Must have gotten stuck up in a tree." Ananias: "Barney." Beakerson: "Sorry."
little song08/11/2019 S: “It’s alright.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Well now that you’re here and reacquainted with your sister, maybe you can help us out instead of sneaking around all over the place."
little song08/11/2019 S: “You assume I wasn’t helping.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "No I don't assume, I think I know you weren't helping. Just like Kashi said where were you during the fight with the blood hammers?" Ananias: "I'd like to think Sukoshi here was helping out in another way, am I right? Don't judge a book by it's cover Barney."
little song08/11/2019 K: Smiles at her brother in admiration.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Ah yes, but actions speak louder than words." Ananias: "Judge not, lest you should be judged." Beakerson pauses. "Yea I got nothing."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Or sometimes one does not wish to be even noticed.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "I don't think that's a proverb."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Does it have to be.” Narrows eyes.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "That was the subject wasn't it?" Ananias rolls his eyes and chuckles. "You've got a lot to learn on being sociable Barney."
little song08/11/2019 S: “You don’t pick up on social cues do you?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "I've made a bunch of new friends haven't I? I'd say I'm doing pretty good."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Good to know.” K: “He’s actually very nice.”
To be continued...
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “We have important things to do but I suppose we now need to wait for Guiscard, so sure. I'll ask Kashi and her brother if they'd like to join us...”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Yea, Guiscard looks like he's going to be busy with his friend for a while."
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Walks over to Kashi and Sukoshi and waits for them to pause their conversation before inviting them to come to the tavern.
little song08/06/2019 S: “Sure. Thank you.” K: “I don’t have any money.” S: “I can take care of it.” Offers an arm to help her in. Kashi takes it, but after a few steps Sukoshi just picks her up and carries her.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Now isn't that sweet." Follows behind them to the tavern.
little song08/06/2019 They claim a table off to the side. And he goes for food.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Comes back with some soup and bread. "So Kashi, what do you think of your brother?"
little song08/06/2019 “He seems kind. He does look a lot like me too.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Now you see why we were so confused at the funeral."
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Jade sits quietly.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Chews on a mouthful of bread. "So do you think he'll be willing to stick around and help us? We could use him."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Comes into the Tavern glancing around looking for her group.
little song08/06/2019 “I don’t know. He’s barely had a chance to say anything yet.” Watches him. Basically two identical Kokkans. On in blue at the counter and on in red sitting in the corner.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Sees the two Kokkans and frowns slightly, but doesn't say anything. Spots Jade and Beakerson as well.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Gets some bread and soup along with a drink.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Waves to Nascha. "Hey Nascha! Over here!"
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nods and comes over. “Hello.” Quiet smile.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Care to join us for dinner?"
little song08/06/2019 He finishes up and comes over with two bowls of soup and starts talking in Kokkan again. And she responds in Kokkan.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 “Alright.” Glances at Sukoshi then turns to go get food.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Hey English guys, so we can all get in on the conversation. Let's get to know each other."
little song08/06/2019 Sukoshi glares at him. K: “Umm. I think this should be just between us for now.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 A very large man bursts in. Large as in, tall, broad, and his voice bellowing from behind a great red beard in a very rumbling voice, he starts singing, “Alas did I go out to hunt, Nothing gets by Runt! I am Runt! I am Runt! Out for a bear, I was on the hunt!” Slams a bear head onto the bar top. Roaring laughter from Runt.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Is on her feet momentarily when the man bursts in.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Okay, because you asked me nicely Kashi, I'll let you two have your talk. But I suggested this so we can all become friends."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “HA! HA! HAA!” He is passed a free beer. Some of the men in the tavern raise their glasses.
little song08/06/2019 S glares over at him and heavy sighs. “歌詞ちゃん？いきますか？” K: “いえ 伊賀ら”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “Doctor, give them room.” A bit terse due to the commotion in the room.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Stares at the bear's head that was plopped in front of her while waiting for her food.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt puts up his hands. “Now that we no longer have the Bloodhammers to listen too!” Crowd gathers to listen. “Allow me to be the first—” thrusts a finger in the air. “To explain how I spent OUR new freedom!”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Spies the bear head on the counter. "Oh gross. Yo buddy! People are trying to eat here!"
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Stares at the bears dull eyes and reaches out her hand to touch the top of the fur. Mumbles something in her native tongue.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “I chased Lexron to his lair, and now he try to take a bite out of small Runt at his door.” Raises bear head. “Our cows will be sleeping easy from now on!” Crowd cheers.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Gosh and I thought Sukoshi was lacking manners."
little song08/06/2019 Ignores him and continues talking.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “So I was heading back to town, when these vermin jumped out of the woods, like they were kinsaplings or somethin. Don't know where they came from, but, they seemed in a hurry...so ole Runt asks what the trouble is...till one with a nasty scar drew his blade, as though I'd insulted his momma.”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Takes her soup and bread, but remains standing near Runt, watching.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Them were three, verses me, and ole Lexron here.” Pats bear head.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Glances at the head not saying a word.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Long story short, Lex and I make a good team! I had em a runnin!” Crowd laughter.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 “And yet you killed your friend after he came to your side?” To Runt in a calm but pointed voice.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt raises his glass. “To freedom! The crowd cheers again, and the tavern goes back to normal.”
little song08/06/2019 K: いき わかります。
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "That was the weirdest story I ever heard."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Chokes on his drink. “Excuse me? Can I help you?” at Nascha.
little song08/06/2019 They silent now.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Through the window, Guiscard can be seen strolling with Arnol.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Stares at the bear’s head then to Runt. “You said this bear came when you were being attacked, yet here is this creature. Dead. Which you are parading with folly.” Stares Runt in the eyes her black eyes alight with anger.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “What? No! The Bear was already dead miss, or did you only hear half the story?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Oh please don't tell it again." Beakerson says quietly.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Watches Runt and spits out the next words with barely contained contempt. “You must respect all of Elyon’s creatures.”
little song08/06/2019 K: “You said someone with a scar?”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 “You may have conquered a mighty foe but respect the life it lost.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Moves to Nascha's side. "Hey easy now Nascha. This isn't the time or place to be getting all riled up. Just take it easy."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt folds his massive arms. To Nascha, “Listen miss, I don't want to be hearing none of that. No trouble outta you and you can sleep easy knowing Runt ain't mad at you.”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Watches Nascha's interaction with Runt.
little song08/06/2019 Twins go back to talking.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Stares him down and says something with a harsh tone in her native tongue, then grabs her food and heads towards the tables.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Raises eyebrows but doesn't interfere.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “Good move!” Random person near where Nascha is sitting: “That bear took three of my cows, so don't you be defending it, you here?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Sorry to bother you, Mister Grunt...I mean Brunt err Runt."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Sits taller and stoic ignoring the random person.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “No problems! What can I do you for?” Random person turns to finish his plate
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Oh nothing sir, I was just trying to look after my friend. Didn't want anything to get, you know.....messy."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha's face is tense.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “You suggesting I did something I shouldn't? Listen here friend.” Jabs a finger at him. “This bear killed dozens of our livestock, so I did my neighbor's a good deed, what's a wrong with that? If that's no good that yer not welcome here.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Oh I'm not judging you, sir. I just don't want there to be a fight. You enjoy your beer and we'll finish our food and be on our way."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Tries to bite her tongue but one thing slips. “And the bear must have been hungry to eat you're cattle. Which means your woods are barren of good hunting.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Yelling at Runt causes a few men to spit their drinks.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Not helping here Nascha." Beakerson hisses.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Walks quickly, but calmly over to Beakerson. Quietly. “Please go take your food and sit while I take care of this.” Turns to Runt.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Sukoshi's senses tell him, unless he is too caught in his conversation, that there are three no good chaps in the corner, trying to not be seen by Runt, they use the distraction begin making their way slowly to the exit. Runt's big eyes are burning now The tavern is still, all eyes on the Mantis, Runt and the Doctor. Many of them stand and flock around Runt in his defense.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Coolly to Runt. “I don't agree with my friends and I think it's perfectly reasonable if you killed the bear but I'm afraid you will have to pardon my friends. We all have our own opinions.”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Is realizing her mistake and is trying to inwardly calm down.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “Ma'am...you tell your friend there, to keep it shut, that talk isn't gonna fly around here...understood?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Let's go Jade, before this turns ugly." Beakerson urges.
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “I'll tell my friend what I want to, sir. But I'll take your advice into account.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Nods. “Good girl.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Don't anyone else say nothing stupid now. Lets go."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha pays for her food and rises to leave. Accidentally knocking into one of the three men trying to exit unnoticed.
little song08/06/2019 S was turned around watching this.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “HEY! OUTTA THE WAY!” At Nascha. “They make a hurried exit. Just as they all escape out the door, two cinnamon tunics bearing a white sword enter the tavern.”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Glances at him sharply. “Watch how you talk to her.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Both sets of eyes scan the room
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Let's get dinner someplace else shall we Guiscard?" Beakerson says to the knight. He grabs his bag and hurries towards the door, but quickly turns back around and heads for the counter. He pulls out his sanitizer and sprays down the bear head before hurrying for the door again.
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Turns to the men. And says in a stiff tone. “My... apologies.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Both thinking: What on earth is going on? As Beakerson is leaving, one of Runt's cronies puts out his foot, tripping him.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Beakerson sprawls to the floor.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Hey! Easy!” Says another. “They did save our town!”
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Eyes alight with anger she is trying to control.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard helps Beakerson up.
little song08/06/2019 Sukoshi stands. Give a very deliberate look to Guiscard and then heads to the villager that tripped him. S: “Do we have a problem here?”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 To Beakerson, “Here, your spectacles.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Thank you."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Walks towards the door ready for anything that may ensue.
little song08/06/2019 Sukoshi is 5’4”. Doesn’t looks imposing at first.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Man is literally a head higher. “What lady? You gonna use that switch?” Talking about his sword. Other Man: “Easy I said, she is the one that helped us.” Another man: “No it was the one at the table in red, this one is fair game.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 At hearing Runt call Sukoshi lady, "Uh oh."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard: “Excuse me, Doctor.” Is surprised to see Sukoshi back. Goes to his side.
little song08/06/2019 Calm at the jab.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Arnol: goes to Jade and the others. “Let’s get you out of here.”
little song08/06/2019 “I don’t agree with the lady’s opinion of the bear but that’s no reason to take it out on the guy that tried to make peace with you.” Very tense and ready to act.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “She's right, Jahab!”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Stands her ground.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard: Whispers. “Jade, Sukoshi, let's go.”
little song08/06/2019 Holds out hand to his sister and helps her up, leaving. They do grab their bowls of soup.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt and the men stare. “Jade...now!”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Slowly takes a step back and follows the rest outside.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 The door suddenly swings open and a monk walks in. His hood is up concealing his face. He looks around. "What is this? Runt are you bothering these people?"
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt looks: “N-No! They were bothering me!”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Looks around again and spies the bear head. "I see you've been busy." Turns to Guiscard. "I hope you and your friends weren't causing any trouble. Or Runt causing too much trouble for you."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Runt: “It was Jahab here! He made fun of the Kokkan girls.”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 “There were rash words spoken by both parties.”
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard: “No more than we could handle, thank you!” Pushes past him. Guiscard gives Jade a look that says. "No more dialogue, get out now!
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Jahab, for shame. I thought we talked about this?" To Guiscard in his own native language. "My apologies for Runt’s behavior."
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Stubbornly leans against the door frame, not intending to go anywhere yet.
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 Guiscard stops when he hears the familiar tongue. Jahab: “Yeah! You shoulda seen them! They looked so mad, specially the one in red, she limped on out. Must been done good by them vermin out there.” Runt: Shakes Jahab's shoulder. “Look who you’re talking to, fool!” Tries to apologize for him. “He don't mean it sir, honest, you know he used to be Bloodhammer, hasn't quite lost his appettite for fighting.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "Enough! Let these fine folks be on their way. Or if they wish to finish their meal then allow them to do so in peace." To Jade in her native tongue. "I'm sorry for the trouble. I hope you weren't hurt."
Yankee Samarai08/06/2019 “Ok! Yer right! Fella's! Let's give em some space!”
Dark Matter08/06/2019 Surprised slightly, responds. “No, sir. Thank you.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 Speaking to Kashi and Sukoshi in Kokkan. "Are you and your sister well? I'm sorry for the disturbance."
little song08/06/2019 S: “There was never any danger to us. Just didn’t want a fight breaking out.” K: Smiles.
ThatGuyOverThere08/06/2019 "I'm glad to. Here." Speaking in English again. "Please, won’t you all sit down? I promise you there will be no more problems with Runt."
VioletofSherwood08/06/2019 Nascha: Has been prepared to fight, but also staying to the side so as not to cause more problems. Inwardly feeling bad about what she caused.
Dark Matter08/07/2019 Nods and moves to sit down again.
little song08/11/2019 S and k sit back down.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire [enters after Guiscard]. Walks about the tavern, curious.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "I shall speak to the owner and get you guys anything you'd like. He'd be more than happy to offer you a "refill" on your dinners."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Tries to keep by her master’s side but ends up drifting away in curiosity.
little song08/11/2019 K: that’s very kind of you but I wouldn’t want him inconvenienced
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "It's no trouble at all. I know him quite well. It's the least we can do for you." The Monk heads for the back of the tavern. At this point Beakerson pops out from behind a collapsed table. "Is it over yet?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “Yes, I’m sorry.” S: “Are you okay, doctor?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Stands up and brushes himself off. "Yes I'm quite alright. What happened anyway? Did we win the argument?"
little song08/11/2019 S: “Well.” Glances to Nascha. “Not exactly. It depends on the “we” and what the heck the argument was.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "So um...do we leave or are we going to finish dinner? 'Cause I thought we were leaving just a second ago?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “We’ll finish dinner.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Looks around noticing everyone going about their business like nothing happened. "What did I miss?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “Just a monk.” S: “Yes.” K: “What is it?” S: “Just wondering where he was from.” K: “He didn’t look Kokkan?” S: “No, but Hwarang had a gaijin for a while.” K: “Really?” S: Nods.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Sitting and quietly eating her soup, still not completely relaxed.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "A monk did this? What did he do, threaten to call down fire and brimstone on everybody?"
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire sees the group and walks over. Signs to Jade: Is everything alright?
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Gets the gist of what Squire says and nods, “Yeah, I'm fine. Did you get to eat?”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Pulls out some dried beef from her pouch. Signs: Need to restock here.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Smiles and stands. “Yeah, you need a good warm meal. Sit down and I'll get you some food. Does soup and bread sound good?”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Looks a little surprised at the offer. But after a moment nods somewhat eagerly.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 The Monk returns. "I've spoken with the owner and he apologizes for the trouble. You may-" He stops when he sees Beakerson. "Barney?"
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire sits down quietly but looks up when the monk comes in.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Smiles again and moves off to get her some food.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson stares at the Monk. "Andy?" The Monk removes his hood.
little song08/11/2019 S: “You know him?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "Andy!" Beakerson cries and runs over to give him a big hug.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire: O_O
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "Know him? I've known Andy since childhood. He was the first friend I ever made." Andy: "I heard rumors that you had traveled away from home, but didn't quite believe them until now."
little song08/11/2019 K: “Well everyone is just getting reunited.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire gives a small happy clap.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "What are you doing all the way out here anyway? I thought you were stick around Vachelous for a while?" Andy: "You know me, Barney. I don't stay in one place for long. I had plan on visiting you again."
little song08/11/2019 K: “He’s from there.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Well have I got some stories for you, pal. Sit down with us won’t you?"
little song08/11/2019 S: “Very skilled in language though.” They’re speaking quietly in Kokkan.
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Returns with soup and bread for Squire.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire recognizes Sukoshi and waves to him. Looks up in eager thanks to Jade and takes it carefully.
little song08/11/2019 S: Nods to her.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Andy: "I'd be glad to Barney. It's been a while."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Listens in on the conversation but keeps her eyes to the soup.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson slaps his forehead. "Duh, manners Barney. Everyone, I like you to meet my friend, Andy. His real name is Ananias, but that's a mouthful for some people." "Andy, this is Squire and Jade."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Pulls her hood a little further down as she lets down part of the face mask to eat. Squire waves.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "And that's Sukoshi and Kashi."
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Holds a hand out to shake. “Call me Jade.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias shakes her hand. "I'm pleased to meet you all. I hope you've been able to keep Barney out of trouble."
Dark Matter08/11/2019 Half laughs. “I'm afraid hope has been a high-priced commodity and trouble comes often.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Is that a shot?"
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire looks amused.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "Don't worry about it Barney."
little song08/11/2019 S: Nods to him. K: “Nice to meet you.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Well this all makes sense now. I was wondering how these ruffians calmed down so fast."
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire points to Guiscard.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "It didn't take too much convincing, Barney. I know these people well and we have a mutual respect for one another."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Do you live here?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "No, but I've been here for some time now. And it's not the first time I've visited this town."
little song08/11/2019 K: “You travel a lot now.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "I've traveled to many different places." Beakerson: "It's kind of how he knows so many languages." Ananias: "So, how long have you guys been here? Do you plan on staying long?"
little song08/11/2019 S: “You’ve been to Kokka?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "On several occasions yes. You've got wonderful people there."
little song08/11/2019 K: “Thank you.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "If I may ask, what part of Kokka are you from?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “Yoi Shihon.” S: “I’m a monk from Hwarang house.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "Yes, I believe I have heard of Hwarang house. I can't recall if I've been to Yoi Shihon, but I've been to so many places it's hard to keep track of."
little song08/11/2019 K: “That’s okay.” S: “I’m impressed with your understanding of the language.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "I've had good tutors. It's also easy to pick up on a language when you travel as much as I do."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Indeed. I never could speak Common well before I traveled.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Have you read our dictionaries? I don't get most of those words myself."
little song08/11/2019 K: “I studied Vachelous’ a bit. It is confusing.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Might explain some of Guiscard’s grumpiness perhaps."
little song08/11/2019 K: “Not at all.” Smiles. “He’s not grumpy when you get to know him.” S: “He’s passionate about his duty at least.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson, to Sukoshi: "You ain't been around him long enough buddy."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Possibly.” K: “How well do you know him?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Oh about as long as I've been in Middle March. But that's still longer than Sukoshi I'm sure." "Unless you two go way back like me and Andy here."
little song08/11/2019 S: “No.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "That's what I thought." Ananias chuckles. "Don't mind Barney. He prides himself in how long he's able to hang on to a friend."
little song08/11/2019 S: “I can understand that.” K: Chuckles.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "I've been blessed to have a friend like Barney. He's helped me through more than most people would give him credit for." Beakerson: "Aw, your just saying that."
little song08/11/2019 K: “He’s a skilled doctor.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Ananias: "That he is. But enough about me, if I may ask, what brings you all the way out here. And how did you happen to come by Barney. He's never traveled outside his hometown his whole life."
little song08/11/2019 K: “I was sent to Middlemarch.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 "On a quest for Donindor I presume?"
little song08/11/2019 K: “No, to scout and report to Hwarang.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Yeah we all kind of just randomly ran into each other at Middle March and we've been stuck together ever since." Points to Sukoshi. "Tree boy here though just joined us."
little song08/11/2019 S: “I’m scouting for a safe place for my master.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "By climbing trees and hiding from your sister? What kind of scout are you?" Ananias puts a hand on Beakerson's shoulder. "Now Barney, be nice. There's no need for jabs."
little song08/11/2019 S: “I was following you guys for two days before for your information.” K: “Why didn’t you help with the blood hammers?” S: “I was dealing with something.” K: “What?” S: “None of your concern.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Must have gotten stuck up in a tree." Ananias: "Barney." Beakerson: "Sorry."
little song08/11/2019 S: “It’s alright.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Well now that you’re here and reacquainted with your sister, maybe you can help us out instead of sneaking around all over the place."
little song08/11/2019 S: “You assume I wasn’t helping.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "No I don't assume, I think I know you weren't helping. Just like Kashi said where were you during the fight with the blood hammers?" Ananias: "I'd like to think Sukoshi here was helping out in another way, am I right? Don't judge a book by it's cover Barney."
little song08/11/2019 K: Smiles at her brother in admiration.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "Ah yes, but actions speak louder than words." Ananias: "Judge not, lest you should be judged." Beakerson pauses. "Yea I got nothing."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Or sometimes one does not wish to be even noticed.”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "I don't think that's a proverb."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Does it have to be.” Narrows eyes.
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "That was the subject wasn't it?" Ananias rolls his eyes and chuckles. "You've got a lot to learn on being sociable Barney."
little song08/11/2019 S: “You don’t pick up on social cues do you?”
ThatGuyOverThere08/11/2019 Beakerson: "I've made a bunch of new friends haven't I? I'd say I'm doing pretty good."
little song08/11/2019 S: “Good to know.” K: “He’s actually very nice.”
