@Arabix "Where are you a prince of?" Vanion asked the man curiously.

@Redthorn Anvil "Aelrin," he responded "The land of the Aelrinian elves."

@Arabix "Ah. You must not be from the same reality plane as I; I haven't heard of it. Actually, there are no elves where I come from. We only have sorcerers; or at least, what you might call sorcerers. They amount to the same thing, except that they are all women. The male sorcerers always end up going insane for some reason or other and they end up dying before they're old enough to be men." He replied to the elf prince.

@Redthorn Anvil "Ah," he said "Sounds like a neat place!"

@Arabix "I don't know about it being 'neat', but it is certainly a strange place to be. What is your world like?" He asked.

@Redthorn Anvil "Oh it's beautiful, it has shining hills, with magnificent forests," he replied "and the crown jewel of it all is the capital, Tal."

"But most of the forests are gone now." he said with a saddened sigh.


The city of Tal

"That's really too bad. I happen to like forests, for more reasons than one." He replied.

"「IT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE THE SLEEGE. IT WAS NOT SMOOTH. IT WAS NOT ELASTIC. IT DID NOT WALK NOR FLOAT AS NORMAL BEINGS DO. IN MANY WAYS IT WAS AS A WAVE FROM THE OCEAN, BOUNDLESS AND MASSIVE AND IN MOTION PERPETUALLY. IT NEVER VOCALIZED NOR MADE ANY DISCERNIBLE SOUND, SUCH THAT YOU COULD NEVER KNOW IT WAS UPON YOU. AND IT WOULD COME UPON YOU FROM ANY DIRECTION. NONE LIVING KNOW THE FATE OF THOSE IT CAME UPON.」"

"「IT APPEARS AS THOUGH YOU KNOW WELL THE SLEEGE」" he says sympathetically as the boy spoke of his homeland. "「THAT EMOTION YOU EXPRESSED? THAT IS THE SLEEGE」"

There's a bit of a mournful silence, before it says to the tavern assistant, "「ANOTHER REFRESHMENT IF YOU PLEASE. OF A STRONGER VARIETY」"

@Lord Coake "A mead please!" Yanton called to Hans.

@Arabix"Coming right up!" Hans bellowed back to the Elf, turning to pour a mead almost to the brim of a large mug. He slid it down the bar, timing it so it stopped just in front of the Elf. "If you need anything else, just holler!" Hans said, before going back to cleaning yet again.

@Lord Coake "Thank you, my good man!"

@Lord Coake "So tell me, neighbor; where do you come from originally?" Vanion asked the bartender curiously. For the sake of not being rude and out of mild curiosity. This bartender surely saw all sorts of people and creatures come in here regularly, so he must have some interesting stories to tell.

@Redthorn Anvil"Well, even if I told you, you wouldn't know it. My home's been gone for quite a while, since before any of you were born, I'd wager." Hans said, looking a slight bit sad. "I haven't met anyone who knew of my home in just about as long. Seems we weren't too well known to begin with." He quickly decided to shift the subject, feeling suppressed memories starting to wash back up. "Where are you from, then?" He asked Vanion. "Perhaps I know of your home."

@Lord Coake "Me? Oh, I'm from a small town in the middle of nowhere. Actually, I'm the baron of it. It's a little place called Two Rivers." Vanion replied to the bartender. "I've been in office there for, oh...many, many years. I don't really remember how long."

@Redthorn Anvil"Two Rivers, eh? Sounds familiar. May have visited it back when I was in my travelling days. After The War, I went and spent a good many years wandering wherever I could reach..." Hans sighed, in a reminiscent way. "Most everyone who remembers The War is gone now...Haven't met anyone who knew about it in a good long while. It's how my home was destroyed, you know. The War took nearly everything I had...But now I've got The Tavern, and all the people I could ever talk to." Hans let out a deep chuckle, smiling wildly. "Well, I best head back to the kitchen, it's just about time for the dinner rush. People will be stopping from all over for a meal and a place to stay. It helps to have food prepared." With that, Hans turned off and walked to the kitchen, just as quite a few assorted guests made their entrance.

Jayden walked into the tavern from what appeared to be thin air as he took a seat at a nearby table. "Waitress! A soda! Uh grape if you please!" He said aloud to the nearby waitress who rushed into the back to grab a bottle of grape soda "Here you go sir!" said the waitress "Thank you very much!" Jayden replied "Anything else I can get you?" the waitress added "Actually can I get nine Soulnergy drinks for my friends?" He asked as the waitress looked confused as Jaydens jacket pockets lit up "Jayden you didn't have to get us anything!" Said a female voice "Yeah we only came here because you begged us to." said a gentleman like voice "Guys quit hiding. You should be used to being here so no need to hide right?" Jayden said as 9 little white spirits with the masks of yokai such as the Kitsune and Oni appear (see my CS for the list of Yokai) "Fine! You make a valid point." said the spirit with the fox mask known as Kit. "Soooo 9 soulnergy drinks?" The waitress asked "Yes please!" said Kit.

Waltzing into the tavern from a portal in the form of a wooden door (which disappears upon Wyatt's entering the tavern), Wyatt walks briskly to the bar. "'Ello guvs! I spot yor all from different dimensions than I..." Wyatt grumbles to himself about the excessive amount of fantasy characters when he's the only character from the 19th century, before speaking once again. "But I 'ope we can all just 'ave some drinks! Now, 'oo wants a bottle of scotch or four?" Jokes Wyatt, who takes a seat in a stool situated in front of the bar. He then calls out: "Barmaid! Tree bottles of scotch please!" While waiting for the drinks, Wyatt smokes a cigarette, putting it out once the drinks arrive. He then puts down fifteen pounds, five for each bottle, and starts to drink one.
