=== Red Dragon Inn: 2013-03-01 00:00:00 EST ===

Andu Kirost: ::ANdu reaches the bar and looks at Kitty consideringly.: You want to tackle my 5gal mug, Kitty, or should I get it myself?

Ford Daniels: It was flying out the door right now. That's all that mattered.

= Echtronis has entered the room =

Leroy J. Reindeer: "Kitty, can I get a cider before ya go?"

RDI Kitty O: ::she does a little lean to see if the gaze follows as she gets the coffee for Baeldyn. Then straightens and sets the cup on the bar with a slightly harder plunk then needed before grinning at Andu:: Dude, I can throw a hippo. I can handle a five gallon cup.

Baeldyn332: ::The gaze no. The nose, yes, once the cup makes an appearance. No cream or sugar in this one. She took a sip straight off the top, black as the inside of a pocket at midnight. The heat's a necessity for later.::

Vextirias: It was her usual human form and her usual entrance from the alleyway door into the inn tonight. A wave was offered to the few within as she made her way barwards to sit. "Ready for the nightmare storm tommorow night, folks?" A nightmare to her at least!

Andu Kirost: ::Grins:: Then I will take some from my pot in that back corner there, so you don't drain the regulars dry.

Baeldyn332: ::Cocking an ear to another familiar voice.:: Vex. Later than usual. Boss lady's downstairs, if you were looking.

RDI Kitty O: ::she then slides a cider before Leroy as she's grabbing Andu's cup, filling it from some shadowy corner, and then thunks it before the minotaur with a smirk:: Alright! I'm outta here! Don't kill each other or I'll kill you! Cheers!

RDI Kitty O: ::waggles claws all around, and then disappears into the back office::

Ammy Spiritor: "Night Kitty. Give me a call about pictures sometime!"

Baeldyn332: ::Putting the staff against the bar, she ventured to where her coat hung.:: Thanks for the coffee, Kitty.

Leroy J. Reindeer: He spikes his cider and downs it... which is all of a sudden becoming not such a good idea.

Ammy Spiritor: A glance to Leroy. "You okay?"

Malady: An ember glow bobbed up and down in a slow rhythm down the shaded, snow piled path as it crept forward at an anti-climactic pace.

Baeldyn332: ::Much as it was a sin to rush good coffee, the night wasn't getting any warmer. Bundling herself up against the cold, zippered to her chin, she downed the rest of the mug in short order.:: Night big fella. Thanks.

= Katan has entered the room =

Leroy J. Reindeer: "Ah think so... but Ah might be too drive ta drunk."

Ammy Spiritor: A long blink. "You... drive?" Ammy asked Leroy.

Andu Kirost: Night, Baeldyn, Take care. Sweet Dreams & Restful Sleep.

Leroy J. Reindeer: "Ah do... my pickup's out back."

Baeldyn332: That's the goal, isn't it? ::Cracking something resembling a smile, she tapped her way toward the door. Waving at Vex on the way.::

Vextirias: "Yep, was helping around with a few things tonight." Nodding over to Bae, "Figured she may be. Wanted to stop at the inn and get warmed up however."

Vextirias: "Good night, Bae. Be careful out there, yes?"

Vextirias: Not that she could have seen that nod, but habits die hard!

Baeldyn332: Always. ::And out.::

Ammy Spiritor: "Well you could stay a night here at the inn. Usually have rooms available." Ammy said to him.

Leroy J. Reindeer: "Ah might just do that."

Andu Kirost: ::Andu takes up his coffee mug and turns to lean back against the bar.::

Ammy Spiritor: "Smar idea. You know I've never met a redneck reindeer till now." she smiled and sipped more cidar.

= naevein has entered the room =

Leroy J. Reindeer: "Naw sheet?"

Leroy J. Reindeer: (Apparently when he's drunk, he forgets not to cuss around ladies.)

Ammy Spiritor: Ammy gave a nod.

Ammy Spiritor: A wave to Vex as she finally got the little bit of rye she had out of her system.

Malady: Snow and ice made for a treacherously narrow route. Fur, fur and more fur. She only made it to the porch in one piece thanks to the sheared lamb wool and faux fur cape. Thankfully, they still had a few selling in the hole-in-the-wall couture culture shops. The cigarette helped warm the breath and the light of the inn helped play her guide. By the time she took the steps, she still felt under dressed. "TheF'sWithThisStorm?" Huff. Macy tossed and dusted the snow piled on from

Malady: the top of her head. The boots went stomping as well.

Leroy J. Reindeer: Yeah, there was no way this reindeer was driving through that snow drunk off his tail.

Echtronis: Echtronis never cared for an overcast at night, and held a disdain for the swelling clouds fed by the coming storm as it blocked the moonlight, robbing his dragonic ego as he always loved to see his scales gleam in the lunar rays. On his flight to the inn, he made sure to gnash through the troublesome puffs of moisture in a subconscious, yet devilishly satisfying habit on nights like these.

Ammy Spiritor: A glance to Malady and the snow swirling. Storm was moving in faster. Jeez.

Vextirias: Returns the wave to Ammy and offers one to Leroy as well. Then it was back on her feet, through the break of the bar, and behind to fetch a mug, fill it with coffee, and then add a dash of whiskey.

Leroy J. Reindeer: A yawn as he contemplates heading for one of those rooms.

Echtronis: There it was again, the inn. He couldn't help but notice the package he dropped off earlier in the day had disappeared, and he let a grin cut along his rough snout. Perhaps tonight would be a good night to walk among the humanoids, instead of lurking outside like some kind of animal. It had been over a decade since he walked on two legs inside this structure. He thought about the taste of brandy.

Ammy Spiritor: "I'll cover yer nights cost Leroy and breakfast." Ammy offered with a wink.

Andu Kirost: ::Quietly sips at his coffee, and listens and watches.::

= Selissias has entered the room =

Leroy J. Reindeer: "Ain't naw way I'm lettin' a woman pay."

= Selissias has entered the room =

Andu Kirost: ::Chuckles and smiles at Ammy and Leroy.::

Echtronis: He swooped down to land out of sight of the windows of the establishment, landing in a decelerating trot on the growing layer of snow in the area, and upon halt he gave a violent shudder, throwing off the tiny bits of ice that accumulated upon him in his long flight from the north. The dragon sat up rather catlike, curling his tail around his planted left forearm as he stared at the building, pondering which guise to take.

Leroy J. Reindeer: A slight grin to Ammy.

Malady: She had yet to arrive indoors but one could always glean a bit of the future from a window. There were interesting things outside by the sound of it.. But, escape from that severe weather was just a push of a door and she was eager to bumble inside. Boots crashed and silenced under the stretch of stringed curses breathed between rough inhales of that draining cigarette. Gloved hands went on a rampage of pats over her coat to dust off the snow. She wasn't too concerned with the mess.

Ammy Spiritor: "Leroy..." she looked at him, and leaned in close, the fading smell of rye and cidar on her breath. "I'm not a lady. I'm Ammy. I love to fight. I'm over four centuries old. I stabbed my husband on our first date and he stabbed me back. I still use that sword he used on me. Now then, I'm gonna pay fer your room and breakfast if I want to." she grinned. "Gotta thank ye for that wonderful rye in my cidar."

Leroy J. Reindeer: And with that just a simple nod to Ammy - no way he could argue with that.

Echtronis: His pride bedeviling the otherwise noble being, Echtronis found himself indecisively shrinking and altering his form in a myriad of various humanoid bodies, looking for one that just simply felt right. An ork with a missing leg, a boxom lithe lass, an ogre with unfortunate elven features, a heavily armoured knightly man, it went on for some time before he reminded himself that he isn't here to perform some role, rather to simply interact, and settled on what one might normally see in a

Echtronis: more... normal sort of inn. A man, a human man, in his prime, draped in carefully articulated winter clothing he often saw humanoids wear during this time of year, befit with a large, silvery blue hooded cloak.

Ammy Spiritor: Ammy just nodded. "Besides, you can get me back next time. A jug of rye would cover it." A wicked grin.

Leroy J. Reindeer: "So long as the damned revenuers don't get it first."

Echtronis: Black hair, no, red, then a humble auburn draped the face of this new traveller, eyes to match his true form's scales to stroke that ego, and a bow, first of bone but then shifted to a more comforting wood texture. Echtronis examined himself and nodded in delight. "Ho there, stranger!" He called out in practice in his quiet little area outside the inn. The voice was far too deep. He wondered if he should grow a large beard to compensate, but simply fickled his new vocal cord to match a more

Echtronis: youthful spirit.

Ammy Spiritor: "We have a deal Leroy. You gonna make up the steps or should a little ol' gal carry you?" she grinned.

= Cianan has entered the room =

Malady: Eventually, the cape was undone by its hook, peeled away from an hourglass frame that looked just a tad <I>off. </I>Regardless of the outline, Macy came in an all too thin flavor, the nearly unhealthy kind befitting a junkie. Her skin was snow pale, her eyes drenched in liner and regardless of the pearl necklace or even the designer blouse, skirt and tights in shades of grays meeting blue, she didn't fit the image of the Sunday school teacher she looked to potray. Fur got hung and a pack of smokes

Leroy J. Reindeer: Just looks at Ammy. "Ah think I can get there myself."

Ammy Spiritor: "Alright. But if you fall down them steps, you will wake up with a kiss on the nose from me." she smirked and sipped more cidar.

Echtronis: Satisfied for the moment, Echtronis set forth to the porch. He snapped his fingers, remembering that humanoids are never caught dead without a blade, and in his march he scooped up a handful of snow. Giving some playful crunching in his now gloved hands "How do they -stand- the cold like this?" he flung the snow from his hand, his alteration magics letting it shoot off into a blade of ice, which he then played at the water particles to alter into a brittle iron, though it still looked the part.

Echtronis: The boring parts of the sword just sort of grew around the naked blade, which had since attached itself to a belt around his new waist. Reaching the door, he took a breathe of cold air, and pushed his way inside.

Leroy J. Reindeer: He smiles to Ammy before leaning in himself to plant a kiss on her cheek if she wants it.

Malady: fetched from a pocket as she finally, with a new light trapped between her lips, took notice of the few holed up at the bar. "Well, well." Hum. "Guess I'm not the only one trapped." She was unafraid. Her voice carried and she utilized it to the fullest. Smoke flushed between a smile when she pinched the cigarette in the hook of a finger like a thug. She was taking note of at least one familiar face. Shunning aside the last bit of cold with a shiver, she eased her way around to the hearth,

Malady: hovering between that and the bar. A finger went pointing. "Andu, right?"

Ammy Spiritor: Yup. The deer gets a kiss on the Lupe. Now thats a turn. There goes a blush on her. Second time tonight. Dang it.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu looks down at the stranger pointing a finger at him with a raised eyebrow. After a moment he sniffs, then smiles.::: Yes, I am Andu, Miss.

Echtronis: He gave a good look around the place. By damn if it didn't look almost as though he never left it so long ago. His platinum eyes looked over the inhabitants, that damning nervousness that made him a mockery of his species already beginning to touch at his false skin. "You are a dragon of dragons, Echtronis!" He thought privately to himself, completely unaware of how long he has been staring at the motley of humanoids inside. "Eater of lesser dragons! You are Da! Compose yourself!" More thoughts.

Leroy J. Reindeer: And then he stands... "G'night Miss Ammy..." and staggers up the stairs towards the now paid for room.

= Icer1978 has entered the room =

Malady: "And that is...?" Because if that was a talking reindeer, she was pointing that way.

Echtronis: At least, he thought they were his thoughts, he wasn't quite sure if he mouthed those words out loud. Oh how sly the human tongue. Greeting, the people greet. "Greetings!" he shouted at the threshold of the inn, which he carelessly left open, letting snow flutter inside.

Andu Kirost: I believe that is Leroy. I think I met him once, a while ago.

Ammy Spiritor: A wave to Leroy as he went up stair. Miss? Well, he never did ask her about anything. She'll let him think what he will. Sipping more cidar and watched Andu and the lady chat for now. Then a glance to the man at the doorway shouting greetings amonst a flurr of snow like some christmas carol scene. She smiled and gave a wave to Echtronis though she never met him before. "Greetings."

Andu Kirost: ::Glances to the door at the shouting.:: 'Loha, now close the danged door! please.

Vextirias: "Worst is still yet to come from the sounds of it." Breaking herself away from her thoughts to offer that, as well as a light tip of her mug in greeting, to Malady.

Vextirias: And there was another tip of her mug to Echtronis in greeting. Seemed she was fighting off a hint of a smirk too. Whether it be the fact he left the door wide open so the blistering cold could scream in, other reasons, or both was something to be determined by the individual!

Echtronis: He saw a wave, his favorite gesture! So warm despite lacking physical intimacy! He waved back eagerly, too eagerly. His arm stopped making a fool of itself, however, when a minotaur shouted at him. "The- oh!" He then turned around quickly and closed the door behind him. "Yes, the cold! It is so biting!" In his mind, Echtronis was killing it. Not only he felt his disguise was passable, but he partly believed he was being a prime model of humanity in his elaborate gesture of door closing.

Echtronis: He turned back to the patrons, jerking a thumb back to the door with a smug smirk. "It's a good thing we got this door, yes?"

Malady: "Ah-hell. It doesn't matter." Macy was careless, thoughtless and for future reference, a lot many things one <I>expects </I>her to be. Those gloves were coming off bit by bit, where they were tugged at the tip. The loud greeting illicited a look of surprise. For a split-second, she even looked dumbfounded. "You don't say," came her response but she never specifically directed it at anyone. A grip crept, a comely smile replaced it. It was slow, but there went a bare, bone thin hand which lifted to

Malady: strike a belated chord. The vibes were there. She rode them to the fullest. When the little wave came, her wrist looked about to snap in half but she went on to rub her hands together and warm them against the fire.

Echtronis: He let out his hearty adventurous laugh for seemingly no reason, gloved fists at his sides, still at the doorway.

Andu Kirost: ::Shakes his head and chuckles before sipping at his coffee.::

Ammy Spiritor: "Yes. Doors are good." Ammy said. Sipping her cidar she wondered if the rye was still in her system. Then again, been a while since she was human too. Those memories were very patchy at best now.

Malady: "Do you plan to stand there all day?" Hers was an amused tone. She was already abandoning the fire and stalking the bar. Perching herself a few stools from Andu, she reached for anything that looked like a clean enough glass over the bar. "Macy, by the way. Sisters told me about you."

Andu Kirost: ::Smiles down to Macy.:: Ah! Nice to meet you, Macy.

Echtronis: Almost a minute later, with Malady's questioning, did he feel that perhaps he should stop standing statuesque at the door, and walked in proud steps over to the bar. Flaring his nostrils in vain as he tried to still smell things like he normally would be able to. This pulled him into a sneeze, to which a shocked expression of offense took his countenance. "Wh-" He silenced himself. Sneezing, right. He moved to a stool and lowered his hood, brandishing his wild auburn hair, which has since grown

Echtronis: a pair of stylish feathers tied to one side. "I have a thirst!" he called out. "Who should I speak to for a drink of your brandy?"

=== Red Dragon Inn: 2013-03-01 01:00:00 EST ===

Vextirias: "Wish I couldn't." Over to Malady. Definitely wishing she could say that there would be anything except more and worse snow the next few days. Shifting from the lean against the back of the bar to take a seat on one of the stools there.

Andu Kirost: ::::Chuckles.:: Well, I can handle getting coffee and simple drinks, but there is no regular tender on duty, tonight.

Vextirias: "And thanks for shutting that door that we thankfully have." Offered over to Echtronis. "And bless you." A nod was offered over Andu's explanation as well. She didn't have a problem getting drinks for individuals either, though one generally had to ask her first.

Ammy Spiritor: "Uhm, a fair hand at alchemy and mixing potions but you might get less drink and more boom." She said in general sipping her cidar.

Malady: Andu was quietly regarded beneath the bangs with her amusement still lingering in her eyes, even if her smile was off and on lost to the cigarette. It was consumed slower than the first and she even paused to stare at the girl on the other end. "Life's too dull without some excitement. More the .." She refused to complete the sentence and swallowed it in a subdued laugh. No blessings came from Macy. What aromas smelled on her were lacking a key ingredient. There was the expensive perfume:

Andu Kirost: ::Chuckles at tlhe wider variety of responses given out.:: Speak and I shall try for one and all, it seems.

Echtronis: He looked at the minotaur, who he had hoped to avoid contact with if he could help it, in case he somehow recognized him through his disguise. He just stared at Andu, lost in replaying his memories of the massive thing charging at him by the train. Before it was too rude, he shook his head and gave a broad smile and a nod in greeting, as well to Vextirias. "I never made your brandy before, is it complex?" He then looked at Malady, though seemed to be focused on smiling at everyone than to have a

Echtronis: nything interesting to say, which was a shame, as everyone seemed so friendly.

Malady: some exotic flowers and oils extracted in a chemical process she could never describe. Then there was the scent of smoke. The two scents warred but neither masked a trace of anything in particular. Beneath it all, the girl smelled of <I>nothing. </I>With a burdoned sigh she rose, dragging her arms and letting them drop to her side as she made her way around the bar. "Hold your horses," she mumbled, while searching through the shelves for a stout label.

Echtronis: "I am Echt-" He then just restarted his sentence as if the first part never existed. "I am Kired! I come from the north in search of your brandy. Shall we drink and speak to eachother?"

Icer1978: ::She had been sleeping for a little while, but the chill outside was calling. Click clack click. The chill of the snow felt wonderful against her icy hide, and soon the little dragon slid through the door, letting it shut behind.::

Vextirias: "Heh... Perhaps that's why I'm foolish enough to be planning to stick around in it? Along with being able to offer what help I can. Though I've still been questioning my sanity and reasoning past that." Taking a sip of coffee as she looked from Malady over to Echtronis with a raised brow. "Honestly. I have no idea how it's made." She set her mug to rest on the bar and leaned back to thumb through the bottles behind her. "Aha..." The bottle of brandy was found, lifted, and then set bartop.

Vextirias: "Though drinking it is as easy as opening that bottle. Easier really." Nodding oer to Echtronis with an amused chuckle.

Ammy Spiritor: "Hello Kired. Ammy." she offered a furred hand to him.

Echtronis: Still beaming his human smile, he turned to the door at the sound of it closing, and his face dropped as he saw it was one of those other dragons he had smelled before. He seemed to forget everything else around him for a moment. He would be incredibly annoyed if she could see through his altered appearance. He worked so very hard at this ruse.

Malady: "Macy." Her response came as she was turning a bottle over for a look at a peeled label and continued her search. Cognac. There it was. "HateF'nWorkingDuringOffTime..." Another mumble, and she didn't get the chance to pick it given the other woman beat her to it. Lean shoulders gave their pronounced shrug and she was looking again for something more suitable for her own taste. A bottle of rum, and that required a quick look in the fridge.

Icer1978: :;A nod to the others there, and soon she was moving to settle at Vex's side.::

Echtronis: He then nearly jumped as someone extended a hand at him, but with quick thinking turned the jump into an elaborate gesture, a sort of wide armed half bow to accept the hand in the shake. He held Ammy's hand spiritedly, enjoying the warmth of such a hand. "Hello Ammy!" He looked at the brandy. "Oh thank you! This is what I was looking for!"

Vextirias: "Vextirias. Most know me as Vex." Shrugging as she glanced back to Macy, "Were you after that as well?" Nodding over to the bottle she'd set bartop.

Echtronis: "Hello Macy! Hello Vextirias!" He still shook Ammy's hand. "You are so friendly, is it because you are all drinking?"

Vextirias: "Icer." Greeting offered to the dragon settling next to her.

Icer1978: Evening Vex, Ammy, Andu. :;Thrummed.::

Andu Kirost: ::Chuckles and sips at his coffee.:: 'Loha, Icer.

Echtronis: "It makes you desire conversation, yes?" His attention seemed to dart between all the new faces. He then looked at Icer. "My word a dragon!"

Malady: Something about that fridge just wasn't right. There was a Vanilla coke in there. Limited edition. Just what she wanted. It was discouraging. The fridge slammed shut as she opened the bottle to fill a clean glass for a taste. With her elbows bracing her weight on the bar counter, she nursed the glass with both her hands. A sidelong glance sped after Echt-Kired and darted between the greeters.

Andu Kirost: ::Looks to Echtro.:: I don't drink alchohol.

= fairchild has entered the room =

Echtronis: He looked to the minotaur. "Is that why you were shouting earlier?"

Ammy Spiritor: Still shaking his hand she smiled a little. "Yes, we like to drink many things. Uhm. . . Kired, may I have my hand back?" She asked politely.

Malady: "He's naturally friendly," that typically explained a lot. Rum, by itself, wasn't as good as Rum and Coke. It was still a drink. A sip later, her smile widened a tad. "He's caffeinated. That's worse than being drunk." A finger reached and tapped on the side of the King sized mug the 'Taur drank out of.

Andu Kirost: ::Thinks a moment.:: Well, I have only shouted twice today, that I recall. Once was far away in space and time, the other was this morning, at a dragon I "thought" was stealing a wheel off my train. Turns out he was just borrowing it.

Echtronis: It's almost like he forgot about brandy, concentrating on his sudden immersion. He thought perhaps he would quietly speak to a humanoid at first, get used to the habits that come with this form, but now he found himself surrounded by them. It was a bit distracting, displayed by his unrelenting grasp on Ammy's hand which he let go with a quick apology, but nothing a brave soul like his couldn't handle.

Icer1978: :;Horned head canted, studying the man with the feathers, before looking back to Andu, trying to hide a grin.::

Icer1978: ::More because of the mention of train wheel theft.::

Ammy Spiritor: "Hello sis." she said to Icer. A glance to Andu. "How ... do you borrow a train wheel?"

Vextirias: She was trying not to laugh. She really bloody was. But it was getting harder by the moment. And frankly, it was a strong reason she was staying quiet. She didn't think she'd be able to hold a straight face otherwise.

Andu Kirost: :: Chuckles.:: By stealing it from a forgiving soul like me, and then returning it with 9 duplicates.

Icer1978: Hello Ammy. Aurthur is resting at the lair. we've a few guests resting right now from the storm.

Ammy Spiritor: "Oh good. Uhm. My daughter and family was among weren't they? I got a letter from them a day ago."

Ammy Spiritor: She asked Icer.

Echtronis: He suddenly laughed a bit louder than he probably should have at Andu's words. "Well what a friendly sort of dragon! Ha ha! Surely he must of have some important reason do you think? I don't know, I am Kired, from the north!"

Icer1978: Aye, Lene nd Moonshine still were sleeping, but I do think Calcifer is enjoying visiting with my sister.

Ammy Spiritor: A blink hearing Andu. "You gut 9 more back? A train with 9 wheels. I've heard of being a third wheel but being a 9th wheel... I don't know.."

Ammy Spiritor: A look back to Icer. "Oh good. I hope my grandson enjoys his dragon heritage for a while. He is lucky to have a father from your lair." she smiled.

Malady: Vex was easy prey. Macy extended a leg and slid over to her side. The elbow went straight down to prop on the bar top and she stared on with that amused, knowing smile. It was an encouraging smile, the type that begged for you to just <I>let it out. </I>"You can't avoid it."

Echtronis: "Brandy!" He then snatched the bottle Vextirias had set on the bar, raising it high "I CHEER!" and then started drinking it like water for about a second before he realized that he really shouldn't do that in this body and nearly spit it all out, coughing wetly into his cloak.

Andu Kirost: ::Kired draws a quirked eyebrow with a squinted eye. Andu then looks at Ammy.:: He didn't put them back on, but considering the wheels were adamantium, I wasn't worried about that.

Icer1978: I am sure he is enjoying it. Noah and Cristi are stying with us as well. :;Ears flattening just a bit. Loud!::

Ammy Spiritor: Ammy slid a stack of napkins to Kired. She gave the man a look of sympathy. "Light drinker too?"

Malady: Her attention drifted to the scene. And the spittle covered cloak. "That's...very appealing."

Echtronis: "Gah!" He held the bottle away from his person as his reach allowed him too, looking at it as if it has just attacked him. "This doesn't make me wish to speak at all!"

Icer1978: Perhaps water would be better? ::Horned head canting to the male.::

Andu Kirost: ::Andu looks carefully at Kired.::

Ammy Spiritor: "Or mulled cidar? Gentler than full proof brandy." Ammy offered helpfully.

Malady: "ThenPleaseOhLordDon't..." Of course she never said it aloud. It was a whisper. Said to the side. Vex likely picked up the words.

Vextirias: Now she just couldn't help it. She raised a hand to her head as if she thought, some way, some how it could stop her. But between Malady and Kired spewing, she'd found herself unable to keep it in and burst out laughing.

Echtronis: He bowed his head with an upright hand to Ammy's offering of napkins "No thank you I just ate." He pulled the bottle closer, sniffing it curiously before gingerly taking a much more honest sip. "It's strange, it is like fire, this brandy. Hah, I was always curious. Cider you say?"

Echtronis: He rolled the taste in his mouth; not bad really once you get over the shock of it not being much like lakewater, like, at all.

Ammy Spiritor: Just ate? Napkins? She looked at the napkins then at Kired. Ooookaay. Sips her cidar and just nods.

Echtronis: He looked to Vextirias when she laughed, and felt it was proper to laugh with her.

Echtronis: Echtronis simply assumed this was part of the ritual.

Icer1978: Can nae drink the stuff myself. :;Shaking her head, then peeking to Vex as she laughed.::

Andu Kirost: ::Sighs and shakes his head in bemusement.::

Vextirias: This was probably for the best that he didn't realize why she was laughing, because she really had no right to be laughing! While she hadn't been quite like Kired, she'd gone down a similar road of learning. And unfortunately, as he declined the napkins the way he did, she'd only started laughing harder. Yet she was still finding a moment to wag a finger accusingly at Malady. She'd been happily holding her own and then that woman had pounced!

Malady: Laughter was a sweet remedy to every Malady. Their joyous humor was reciprocated by a hum of amused laughter from her own. Her smile was genuine. There was color lifting to her cheeks and while it may seem odd, one might even consider the girl looked a tad healthier as she basked in the good tidings. Hands lifted apologetically once she snuffed out her cigarette on the counter, waving aside the accusation as their laughter bubbled into new heights.

Malady: (Forgive the Engrish.)

Icer1978: :;Soon there was a side glance to Ammy, along with a grin, though no words were spoken.::

Echtronis: He took careful consideration in the timing to stop laughing. He has a thoughtful smile with furrowed brows when his eyes did not meet anothers, and sipped more from the bottle of brandy, rolling it privately into the tiniest of flames within his mouth before snuffing it and swallowing it back as a liquid before burning himself or some other ridiculous embarassment. He looked at the minotaur, wondering if it would be too forward to ask where he found adamantium.

Andu Kirost: ::Smiles and sips at his coffee, watching the others.::

Echtronis: He then suddenly looked at the dragon, Icer. "Do you make this inn your lair?"

Echtronis: Though he would not mention that he had smelled the scent of Icer a number of times in his three nights of stalking outside the inn before summoning the courage to converse within, he felt it was a fair and appropriate question.

Icer1978: :;A tilt of her head to Kired, before shaking her head.:; Nae, my mate and I have a lair in the forest. Though I was raised here long ago.

Andu Kirost: ::Woops, Now Kired is being looked at vary carefully and consideringly.::

Echtronis: "In the forest? As in, this forest? You must hide it well!" Quickly now Echtronis... "I, I explore much of the woods you see. A brood of wyrms would be hard to miss! Though I cannot blame you, the venison here is esquisite!"

Malady: Humming helped reduce the tears and her giddyness died away. The smile remained. "Nothing like a good laugh to warm the bones." An elbow snuck to Vex's side. She was leaning forward to address Kired in a mock seriousness. "It's my lair." Let's see if he believes it.

Icer1978: :;She was doing her best not to grin.:; Aye it is beyond the falls. we have quite the family, ask my sister here. :;Nodding to Ammy.::

Echtronis: Echtronis looked quizzedly between Macy and Icer, before speaking again to the dragon. "Oh you mate with humanoids? Does that.. Well, I can see why you would hide it then!"

Icer1978: Ne. My mte is full blooded, like me.

Icer1978: *Nae

Malady: Icer, by looks, wasn't that big. And when Icer mentioned a full blooded mate, she looked her way with a hurt expression and a pouty lip.

Ammy Spiritor: Another sip and Ammy's nose twitched a moment or two with a draft. A few blinks and she looked to Icer and sipped more cidar. Hearing Icer she nods. "Yes, quite the family extending beyond dragons." Hearing Kired, she then grinned. "Well, now, I'm not anny ol' humanoid." Setting her mug down Ammy leapt onto the bartop but instead of Lupinossai she was koi colored, eastern styled dragonling curling her tail around her feet and preened her scales. Wow she remembered it!

Icer1978: ::A wink to Malady, then she gave Vex side glnce.::

Andu Kirost: ::::Andu grins and chuckles, then looks straight at Kired and winks.::

Vextirias: Once her laughter had died down, she was smiling and slowly shaking her head. "Needed that to be honest..." While the storm had her rather tense lately, it wasn't the only thing bearing on her mind as of late, and the laughter had definitely helped ease that tension. That poke to her side got a rather unhuman like yelp and jump of surprise from her. Malady should be proud of that one, it's not often she's caught so offguard! Rather embarrassing to her too, it seemed if that rare blush was any

Vextirias: clue.

Echtronis: He looked confused, in a way that he was being fooled, but not in the way he was actually being fooled. After listening to Ammy, he looked at the Minotaur who winked at him, his mind buzzing with whatever -that- gesture could possibly mean, he then spoke to Macy. "So, what does that make you, lord of the dragons?"

Malady: There's no playing along with this bunch. Sad. Clearing her throat, she started again. But damn, all that winking wasn't helping to clear the mess into something more amusing. "I was saying the Inn is my lair." Oh yes. She said it smoothly, while reaching out to yank Vex back from the precipice of shock and awe.

Vextirias: "Hah. Lair away from the lair for me at times." Finding herself laughing softly again at herself this time. That elbow to the side may have just given away a ticklish nature too. She rather hoped not. That's the last thing she needed!

Andu Kirost: Some day I have to track down that dragon from this morning and thank him for the spare wheels....

Andu Kirost: After I kick his rear around the city for scaring me like that. ::mock growls, then takes a sip of his coffee.::

Icer1978: :;And now Vex was blushing! A soft chuckle. then a smirk hearing Andu.:: My mate and I have sity five young ones, though many are off on their own now.

Ammy Spiritor: Laying down on her belly on the bar, Ammy looked at Malady and offered a tickly lick of her long tongue.

Icer1978: *sixty

Vextirias: "Queen, my dear Kired." Gesturing to Macy, and then bringing an arm to her cross her chest as she bowed Macy's direction.

Echtronis: "Ah!" He felt relieved at her answer, as the very idea of some biped lording rent over such noble beings offended him to the marrow. He swung his head to Andu "Oh now I'm sure he meant no harm!"

Vextirias: She was joking, but gods if it probably wouldn't make you think twice that she was serious with that!

Malady: "You're too kind Andu. Anyone else would have charged it for theft and then dumping trash on your property. Just saying." That Queen bit had her giggling something fierce and she tried to hide it behind her glass. The rum looked to be going straight to her head.

Vextirias: A wink was sent Macy's direction, though it was relatively hidden from view except for from Macy and Icer!

Andu Kirost: ::Andu gives a mock scowl that all those who know him should easily see through.::: And you are so sure of this how?

Echtronis: "A queen! Yes, of course!" He gestured to the door "Queen of the mobile village outside? Amazing thing! Where do you hunt?!"

Icer1978: :;She was trying to resist preening her sister.::

Andu Kirost: ::The scowl is gone, and Andu is laughing out loud, one shaking finger pointing at Kired. But he is laughing too hard to speak.::: Hurh hurh hurh hurh!!!!

Ammy Spiritor: Soon Ammy hopped off the bar. It was starting to get late but she wanted to give Icer a quick nuzzle. Skittery over to her sis, the koi colored dragon nuzzled the blue dragon. "I'll visit the lair soon. Hopefully the ways are clear when the storm is over. I'll be snowed at Bristle Crios coven until then with Fleet."

=== Red Dragon Inn: 2013-03-01 02:00:00 EST ===

Icer1978: :;A thrum as she was nuzzled.:; Do be careful out there Ammy.

Malady: There was licking going on as well, wasn't there? And lordy, she didn't mind. She wasn't even sure why she didn't. "I'm not sure how this inn turned into a mobile village though. Does he mean the cars?" The latter was questioned in a hush to the side. Macy was lost in her own fib.

Andu Kirost: ::slowly the minotaur pulls himself together, and takes a looong sip of his coffee to help his recovery.::

Echtronis: He nearly jumped at Andu's laugh. By the realms what an intimidating bellow for his size! "No, not the inn, the, cars? Is that what they're called?"

Andu Kirost: Take ::chuckles:: Care, Ammy. ::Chuckles again.:: Kired, that is the very same mistake the "dragon" from this morning made. That ain't no village, that just a vehicle for providing transportation around town.

Ammy Spiritor: Ammy smiled and turned back into her Lupe self. "I have safe passage." she showed the golden ring on her finger. "Andu gave me a transporter in case I have problems. it'll take me to the coven via Gaia. I want you to take care too sis. Okay?"

= Styx has entered the room =

Ammy Spiritor: She gave Andu a wave. "Take care as well Andu."

Vextirias: "Tch... Now I feel silly. It was a full year here before someone told me those vehicles weren't living things..."

Echtronis: Echtronis laughed nervously. "<B>What a humorous coincidence!"</B> He spoke louder than he knew "<B>But surely many would make such mistakes!"</B>

Icer1978: I will my, you know I do nae mind the snow. Its the hatchlings that do nae come out.

Icer1978: *Ammy

Andu Kirost: None others that I have heard of. ::Grins:: But It doesn't matter. I have no ill-will to either that dragon, or yourself. So I don't really care.

Malady: "Cars, trucks, automobiles--there could be a hundred names and brands for them. And Hell if I claim any lord...well...ladyship over them." A wave went after Ammy. And the same hand swung in front of Echtronis's face, immediately gripping his attention in the space between her thumb and forefinger. Once she had it, if she had it, she pinched the fingers shut. "Bring it down a notch buddy. Some of us are.. drinking." Her hand was smoothing across her forehead then and fingers were dribbling over

Malady: her temples.

Echtronis: Echtronis worked the brandy, looking over to the nice Ammy person who seemed to be on her way out. "Good evening to you, Ammy! You have nice hands!"

Ammy Spiritor: A glance to Vex. "Was two years before someone told me to stop chasing them when I got this body." one final hug to Icer and a pet to her sister. She stood, walked to the door, remembered something and spoke a few words. "Tras nais veras windum hum." and she vanished in a swirl of alchemy arrays.

Icer1978: ::Now he had her chuckling.::

Vextirias: "Andu, who stole your wheels anyway? And it wasn't me!" Chuckling over to the minotaur before she went about pouring herself a fresh mug of coffee.

Icer1978: I was here when it happened. ::Purr.::

Andu Kirost: Don't know. Both times I saw him he flew off before I could get close enough to find out.

Echtronis: She had it all right, first with the confusing talk about the different types of names for the peculiar things outside, then with her gesture. He looked at his bottle, thinking about what he thought he knew about drinking and conversing, and decided to try to adapt without his preconceptions. He raised the bottle to her. "I cheer!"

Icer1978: :;Realizing she hadn't introduced herself, horned head nodded to Kired.:: I am Icer Trouble Ravenlock Shimmerscale.

Malady: She had misplaced her rum right under her nose and snapped to snatch it back for a sip. At least the jovial atmosphere lingered. These were lighter hearts than a few minutes ago. "What are you cheering to?" Her glass was lifted but she withheld from drinking, waiting for him to follow through.

Vextirias: "Trouble is the truth of it." Prodding Icer lightly with her leg and grinning jokingly at the dragon.

Icer1978: ::Flicking her tongue out at Vex playfully.::

Echtronis: "Oh?" He wasn't excepting that. "You know, the normal things?" His mind raced waaaay back to details from what he knew of humanoids before, and suddenly recited the only thing he could remember. "I cheer to you, I cheer to me, good friends we shall ever be, but if friends we cease to be, sod your mum, and here's to me!"

Echtronis: He had no idea what the expression meant at the end, but he acted as if he said a sacred prayer.

Malady: She bit back a laugh and meekly smiled. Tapping her glass lightly to his she tipped the same one across the way to Andu and Vex, given they both had drinks of their own. <I>When in Rome.. </I>

Echtronis: He beamed at his success, taking a gentle gulp of the brandy bottle before turning to Icer. "Icertroubleravenlockshimmerscale" He belted that out in a draconic flourish of the tongue, used to weaving out his own name in such a manner. "I cheer! And I am Kired, from the north!"

Andu Kirost: ::Raises his mug of coffee in toast, and chuckles before taking a sip.::

Vextirias: Glances sidelong to Macy for a moment and then back to Echtronis as she follows suit with her own mug. She almost seemed like she was going to say something there... But decided against it. Probably for the best!

Icer1978: ::An arch of an eyeridge at the slip. Though she grinned and nodded.:: Pleasure.

Echtronis: "Wow this stuff is great" Fresh human liver. Huzzah.

Icer1978: ::A knowing grin to Vex. Then horned head canted.:: human liver?

Echtronis: He looked at Icertroubleravenlockshimmerscale curiously as to why she would mention such a thing. "Why, yes, my liver is very human, thank you for noticing, I am quite proud of it really, but I doubt it tastes pleasing."

Malady: "Ah!" Macy slunk around the bar with a light touch to Vex's waist. There was some fun to be had thereabouts another day. She was heading to stand under Andu's shadow, leaning up to request an ear away from the rest. "Can I ask you for a favor?" Humans were sly. They were barely acquaintances and here she was asking for favors as if they were best of friends.

Icer1978: ::A shake of her horned head, chuckling then.:; Nae, my mate kin and I do nae eat people. Only fish and wyvern and venison.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu grins and ducks his head to listen to Macy, trusting that no one will over hear.:

Echtronis: He sounded almost disturbingly matter-of-fact with his next question. "Ever prey upon other wyrms?"

Icer1978: A few cows and sheep. ::Shaking her horned head.:; Nae.

Vextirias: "Sure it does." Over to Echtronis and then coughed, realizing exactly what she'd just blurted out. At Macy's touch, she shifted herself back to allow the other easier access past. She patted her chest and took another drink of cough, "Ergh... Sure it is I mean. Human of course. Why wouldn't it be?"

Echtronis: "I see." He muttered somewhat grimly. He took a nervous glance at the minotaur, unsure if he has heard his name yet or not. It seemed he would have no ill will towards Echtronis if he could possibly see through his clever disguise as the plucky adventurer Kired, but he was certainly not willing to go through that sort of awkward revelation session on his first night in over a decade with the patrons of this inn.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu smiles and whispers back.::

Icer1978: Nae, we are more apt to adopt others. It is how our family got so.. large.

Malady: There were a few more exchanges, each spoken in a soft voice that never quite carried thanks to what machinations, magic or otherwise, Andu employed.

Andu Kirost: ::Smiles down to Macy.:: I, Andu Kirost, am at your service.

Echtronis: Bingo

Echtronis: He spoke some more with Icer. "And you are never preyed upon by other wyrms? Even with such a large brood?"

Icer1978: There are sixty five young ones, many with lairs and kin of their own by now.:: Shaking her horned head.:

Vextirias: "Plotting no doubt." Tip of her mug over to Macy and Andu, easily loud enough for the two to hear, as she eyed the other woman all suspiciously. It was in jest and good humour of course.

Echtronis: For one peculiar moment, that was gone as soon as it came, Echtronis felt a strange loss in concentration, a strange, buzzing feeling in his skin. He shrugged it off as the effects of the cold upon the humanoid body, and drank more from the bottle of brandy. "That is lovely to hear! I hear terrible things of dragons in the north. It is.... nice that you seem to have some sort of peace here."

Icer1978: We are a very peaceful clan. ::Nodding to Vex, then smirking again.:; It even was rumoured that I m related to nearly half of Rhydin.

Echtronis: What was this feeling? He felt, a bit glib, but lacking in any form of coherent thought to make any sense of what to say. And thirsty, by the realms. He drank some more, and felt a desire to suddenly look at his hand, and found himself idlely playing with his magics to cause a ripple of skin to play about in his hand.

Echtronis: He snapped out of it, and realized he was letting himself go, was it the brandy? Was it poisoned? Why did he feel so strange? He set the bottle down, looked around at the others doing whatever it was they were plotting, to Vextirias's suggestion, and began stepping to the door, feeling himself loose the grip on his form out of his own foolish meddling. "I beg your pardon, I shall return shortly"

Icer1978: It was nae always that way. The tenders cared for me when I was but a hatchling. It is why I return.

Echtronis: He quickened his pace just a bit, until he was practically skipping to the door, pushing it wide open and began running across the porch. From inside, the patrons saw him leap over the rail, spreading his arms which in tragedy he had mistaken for wings, and with a crunchy plop, did he bellyflop the snow beyond the porch.

Icer1978: ::Nodding to Kired.:: Of course.

Icer1978: ::ince, Ooh that was cold and she was an ice dragon! Soon peeking out the window.::

Andu Kirost: ::visibly winces as he sees Kired run out, and belly flop into the snow.::

Vextirias: Nods to Kired, her head tilting slightly as she watched him go. That look in her eyes was clearly one of amusement, especially noteable once it was paired with that grin as the poor guy bellyflopped off the porch. Course there was a clear view of it, since he'd forgot to close the door again!

Icer1978: Maybe we should check on him, it is cold out..

Echtronis: Echtronis let out a yelp of surprise, which was gracefully muffled in the snow. Scrambling up, he rubbed his face in the strange stinging pain he felt, that seemed to blissfully melt away, perhaps another side effect of the brandy. His eyes widened, and he quickly turned around, realizing what that must of looked like. He quickly stepped to the rail of the porch, hoisting himself up, looking inside to see them looking at him.

Echtronis: "....Ha! ... Ha ha! Snow games, from the north!"

Vextirias: Playing along, she salutes Kired with a raise of her mug and calles out, "I'd give that a ten out of ten."

Icer1978: ::Soon she was chuckling.:: It looks like something that I would do, but I am supposed to be cold.

Echtronis: He winced at how unconvincing that even was to him as he crawled over the rail onto the porch. He did feel rather reawakened by the sharp cold, and felt his form more firmly. Confidently, he walked back in, giving a wave to Vextirias and made a grand display of closing the door.

Malady: They had come to an agreement. With a light nod, she distanced herself from under his shadow and stepped quite casually over to the doorway that Echtronis had fled out of to retrieve her fur coat. It had dried since her arrival and was a welcoming feel beneath her touch. She had not stared nor budged at the sound outside and simply lifted a fragile looking hand to stop lightly on his shoulder. "It's too cold for that."

Malady: It would seem the girl was in a whispering mood, so she lifted just to her tip toes and managed a few words thanks to the high heeled boots. She had had too much rum but a whisper was a whisper. And there was only a single chance for her to be overheard from the doorway with the storm whirring right outside.

Andu Kirost: Kired, I think you might want to stay away from the alchohol from now one.

Echtronis: He smiled adventurously to Macy "It is indeed very, very cold!" Yeah, that was probably the right thing to say.

Icer1978: Even Aurthur would nae chnce a flight in this weather.

Echtronis: He looked to the bar at Andu. "I find your brandy to be curiously intoxicating! Has it gone bad?"

Echtronis: He blinked, taking a second glance at Macy, but said nothing.

Echtronis: He then called out to Andu again. "Oh, on second thought, I'm sure it's just me."

Andu Kirost: ::Straightening from his lean against the bar, Andu places his mug in the sink of the bar and turns to grab his dayglow orange snow suit from under a table.:: Not really, but alchohol, which brandy contains, is a drug, a poison to some races.

Echtronis: Echtronis cooly nodded as if he knew that.

Icer1978: I am allergic. That is why I am given water.

Malady: The fur was a blessing and she was snapping the cape at the collar by its ornate hook. Had it been a cloak, it would have served her better. She was easing away from the door with just those words and she ran her hands through her short crop of hair with a phantom trace down to her waist. Macy was returning to Andu's side and eyed her gloves by the opposite end of the bar counter with a loathesome air. She wasn't up to retrieving them. "The faster route, if you don't mind."

Malady: She blew a kiss to Vex and wiggled those twiggy fingers at Icer.

Icer1978: ::A nod to the woman near Andu, along with a smile. No fangs shown.::

Vextirias: "It was a pleasure meeting you, Macy. Be careful out there you tow and have a good night." Nodding to both, Macy and Andu.

Andu Kirost: Not at all. Sweet Dreams & Restful Sleep, Icer, Vex, Kired. ::Andu taps at something on his arm under the sleeve of his suit.:: Gaia, two for home, please.

Echtronis: He looked about with curiosity, not sure what was going on, but decided to shut up this time.

Andu Kirost: ::A grinning Andu winks at Vex as the two are surrounded by a shimmering column of blue light. It fades after only a couple seconds, and when it does, they are no longer there.::

Malady: One last look to Echtronis and she threw out his name for the first time tonight. Or at least the name he had given them. "It was nice meeting you, Kired!"

Malady: <I>Whoosh?</I>

Echtronis: "Oh" He blerted, watching the two vanish in a flash of what must of been some magical portation. He cleared his throat and walked back to the bar.

Icer1978: ::A blink as the pair vanished, then a shake of her horned head.::

Icer1978: Still nae used to that. :: Thrumming.::

Vextirias: "Smart." Amusedly stated, as she watched the two teleporting away. "No magic traces..." Smiling quizzically as she looked at the spot the two had been. "Human ingenuity and technology never does cease to amaze..."

Echtronis: "There seems to be all manner of things here to amaze me... I've thought I've seen it all." He sounded a bit less foolish than before, a little more at ease.

=== Red Dragon Inn: 2013-03-01 03:00:00 EST ===

Icer1978: You would be surprised sometimes. ::Nodding.::

Vextirias: "I keep thinking that." Pointing to Kired before she moved her mug to the sink, "But I keep being proven wrong!"

Echtronis: Echtronis stretched his arms across the bar, giving a long, unpolite yawn. Strange body. "This is an inn, yes? Does it still have rooms for rest?"

Icer1978: Aye, the ledger is there and there are keys for the rooms upstairs.

Vextirias: "Mrmhrm." Nodding to Icer and her answer. "Seems you know the place, but I can't say I've ever seen you here. What brings you back?"

Echtronis: He rubbed his eyes after standing up straight again. "Perhaps I shall take to it then." He looked between the two. "It's been a pleasure meeting you two, but I grow weary now."

Echtronis: He gave what he thought was an appropriate bow, but it was much too low to be correct. "Vextirias, Icertroubleravenlockshimmerscale.."

Icer1978: Pleasure. ::Nodding, then grinning to Vex.:: I know it well. The kindness shown to me then is why I return.

Echtronis: He moved his legs to carry him to the ledger, looking at the quill. With a half drunken carelessness, he scratched in "Echtronisorathidacuadython" into it out of habit. He then drew his sword, and slowly moved to stab his hand with it, but instead of wounding his palm, the blade just seemed to change and break off into chunks of silver which he set next to the ledger. Finding a key, he walked up to find his room, stump of a sword in hand. Once secure, hey left the key on the bed, opened the wind

Vextirias: Chuckles and pats Icer, "I meant that for Kired, silly!" And then she offered a nod to Kired, "Have a good rest... And remember not to fall off the bed when you wake up."

Vextirias: Sounded like she was speaking from experience there...

Icer1978: How many times have you fllen off a bed? ::THrumming as she was patted.::

Echtronis: ow, and leapt out, though this time letting his platinum form take over instead of a repeat of what happened last time, and with that he flew off to find larger accomodations for rest.

Icer1978: *Fallen

Vextirias: "I'm... Not answering that." Too many was rather obvious at that point!

Echtronis: ((oh sorry I thought you were talking to Icer as well. Hah, well, I should sleep anyway, but I'll definitely come back, you guys are loads of fun!))

Icer1978: ::n arch of an eyeridge and a chuckle.:: {night!}

Echtronis: Now with his senses returned to him... He only then realized he was smelling a lot more of dragonic scents than he had thought he had known before.

Icer1978: Where have you been staying? I know you do nae like the cold. :;Another peek out the window. She'd have to be going soon.:;

= Ravenous Vice has entered the room =

Vextirias: "Heard of Arcadia, I take it? Has warm or hot weather year round. I've laired up on a dormant volcano on an island there." Scritching between Icer's horns now, "Course I still come to Rhy'din here, even during the cold months. I'm here now to try and lend a hand once this storm hits full force. Not sure how much of one I'll be though. This kind of snow storm isn't anything I've ever seen or been accustomed to."

Icer1978: :;Thrumming as she was scritched.:: Aye, I have heard of it, and all my years.. I have never seen such a storm. We opened the lair as a safe place.

Vextirias: "Bit worried to be honest... Nothings ever simple in this place. I've got a funny feeling this isn't just going to blow over and be done with it." Shrugging softly.

Icer1978: Nae. Not from what I've heard. We've all sorts of provisions. The little ones have not even neared the falls. And Aurthur is ready should we become snowed in.

Icer1978: He's diverted heat from one of the springs for those that are not cold.

Vextirias: Nods, "Well. I'd tell you to stay warm, but your an ice dragon." Chuckling now, "So I'll just tell you to stay safe during it, egh? I'll probably be helping to dig anyone out if needed. I'll just have to be careful with it, considering how draining the cold is on me."

Vextirias: You're^ "And I suppose I should get ready to get some sleep, Icer. Still a lot to do before things get at their worst tommorow night."

Icer1978: Of course. And you be careful too. Find shelter if you get too cold.

Icer1978: I should get back to the lair myself, before Aurthur finds that I am not there. Maybe I will gather a few more things on the way. Can never have too much wood.

Vextirias: Gives Icer one last scritch, "I'm actually going to be staying in my room upstairs for a few nights. I trust this old inn. So I'm sure I'll be alright!" Chuckling and nodding to Icer, "Aye. Have a good night, Icer."

Icer1978: This Inn will hold. If it can stand up to zombies.. Snow should nae be a problem.

Vextirias: "Riots, crazy mages, the stew, talking food and silverware..." And the list goes on! She laughed softly sending a joking wink to Icer as she went stairwards, "Indeed!"

Icer1978: Rest well! :;A grin, then she slid out the door and off into the night.:;

Vextirias: "Be safe out there!" And then up she went to her room.

Icer1978: I will ::Called back. ::Homeward bound.:;
