The little girl wandered in the tavern, wide eyed and curious she looked around with a sense of puzzlement on her face, continually looking back to check on the door.
"please hurry mister, I really should get back to the festival." She says as politely as possible with a hint of concern creeping into her voice. Turning to the bar she hops up on a stool and calls to the nearest tender.
"Have you got any cookies?"

[Alisdragon911]

@Dark Light

Ayeka smiles as she slips into the kitchen to shortly returns with a variety of cookies on it. She put the cookies down in front of the sweet looking girl. She guess the girl did not need anything to drink to wash the cookies down with the cookies. Ayeka did not have to wipe down the counter as the other bartender just did and wonders what to do next.

Gaz Aiza quietly steps up to the door of the tavern, sword sheathed at his side, and sighing in relief that a certain voice in his head had stopped bothering him. Well, his patron did lead him here so she isn't all bad... he hoped. He decided to thank optimistically for once and knocked on the door to allow his presence to be known before entering the door. He didn't want to be rude and just barge in after all. Gaz took a moment to survey his surroundings and the other patrons. There was quite the variety here, maybe he wouldn't be out of place after all. He walked to the nearest empty table to finally enjoy some rest.

Knutik felt relaxed enough to leave his hiding spot within the walls. For the moment he just hovered by the wall, holding his hands close to his chest looking unsure of what to do. He's been getting the nagging urge to scare people again, it truly was something he didn't have control over. He can go quite a while without scaring humans and feeding on their fear, but one time he went without doing so for too long despite the negative side effects it had on him, and he ended up snapping.... an entire school bus with children in half.

Yes he's a scare spirit, but one that only likes to spook people playfully. Sadly that doesn't produce the fear he feeds on. The only kind of fear that sustains him is the fear for their lives, the kind of fear that can traumatize and mentally scar an individual and it often involves physically harming that individual..... he doesn't like it. He never use to be so reluctant to scare people half to death before, he never use to be so shy either, in fact he had the best time of his existence during the dark ages. But that's a story for another time; right now he just hovered by the wall, lost in himself.

A... A little girl??

Hardwick blinked. Although the landscape beyond the door was faintly alien, no horrific creatures slithered through; no writhing demons of long forgotten eras; no malevolent entities transcendent of time and space. Just the warm breeze, the odd yellow-green grass, and the little girl with a missing doll.

Like water from a basin, the primal fear once more drained away and Hardwick was left alone with his whiskey. Well, other than the strange girl seated nearby whose attention remained firmly fixed on the door and the newcomer. Koru was tied up attending to the small child, and Ayeka had moved into the kitchen for a spell.

He looked at the animal-like girl, and nodded respectfully in her direction.

Lunaria pushes open the Tavern door, she's dressed simply in a long sleeved cotton blouse that is tucked into her ripped jeans and strong leather boots. She grips the strap of the quiver of arrows slung on her back, slides her finger over her bow that is currently hanging loosely from her fingertips and slides a dagger back into its sheath. She ignores the rest of the people in the room and immediately moves to sit down at one of the empty tables. She runs a hand through her wavy strawberry blonde hair and stares at the table with bright blue inquisitive eyes. She slowly lifts a hand in the air, signalling for someone to take her order.

[Dark Light]

@Alisdragon911 The young girls eyes lit up at the sight of the cookies. Her hand hovered excitedly over the plate as she thought throughly upon her options before deciding which one to take. Simply she went for the largest she could find.

She took a big bite and thanked the waiter with a mouthful of crumbled cookie.
The same cookie crumbles soon fell to the floor as the knocking at the door caught her attention. Mouth wide open, her jaw had dropped at the sight of the man with purple hair. @CAWsForAlarm

She had never seen anything like it before, it was so bright and amazing! Soon, as the awe washed away, her jaw snapped shut tightly capturing the remainder of her delicious food before it could escape.
Her bright eyes scanned the room to check if everyone was seeing the same thing as her, yet nobody seemed phased.
She got a nod from an interesting looking man and briefly she waved back. @gohKamikaze
It was then the raised of a dangerous looking woman caught her attention. @ineffable Perhaps she wanted a cookie too, the young girl thought to herself as she innocently picked up the plate off the counter and carefully carried it over to her. She really didn't want to upset this lady...

[ineffable]

Lunaria taps her nails impatiently against the table, she hears the faint sounds of footsteps but push them out of her mind.
"When are they going to notice me? The bastards." She mumbles under her breath, hissing out a sigh.
Lunaria suddenly hears the placing down of cookies on the table and quickly withdraws her hand from the air. She sees a small girl, placing the platter of cookies carefully down on her table. @Dark Light Huh. She gives a smile at the girl who seems a bit nervous and picks up a cookie from the platter, she examines it. Chocolate, should do for now.
"Well, little girl, what brings you here?" Lunaria gives another of her fleeting, yet lovely smiles and raises an eyebrow.

[Dannyrulx]

There was creaking noise as the door to the tavern opened, and a man stepped through. He was tall, with dark stubble covering most of his lower face, matched by long, shaggy hair that reached down to his ears. His shoes clinked lightly against the floor of the tavern, and he looked around cautiously before shrugging off a long overcoat and hanging it up on a hook by the door.

Underneath his coat, he wore a tight-fitting black t-shirt, and long jeans, similarly tight-fitting. His skin was dark, the colour of a mocha coffee, and his teeth were brilliantly white. He was skinny, almost unreasonably so, although he held himself in such a way that rather than looking weedy and thin, he looked toned and refined. He coughed once and cleared the hair from his eyes, which shone an almost luminescent green, the same colour as the graphic on his hoodie.

He walked across the floor to the bar, where he sat down, before muttering to the bartender to serve him up a Manhattan cocktail, ignoring the rest of the patrons for the time being.

@ineffable
"I lost my straw man."
She admits ashamedly as tho she were confessing a sin. Her spirits then pick back up.
"He's making me a new one!" She points to a man at the table buried in a book @Pineappletumble
"Where is your man? When are you going to the festival?" she asks the woman with a delicate amusement.
Meanwhile her curious wide eyes examin the woman's attire as her hands find yet another large cookie.

[ineffable]

Lunaria notices a man enter the tavern @Dannyrulx and gives him a quick nod, raising both of her eyebrows in greeting as he sits down a few tables away from her.

"I lost my straw man." The little girl says @Dark Light, looking a bit uncomfortable with her confession.
She then points to a man @Pineappletumble and says that he is making one for her. She asks Lunaria where her "man" is and whether she was going to a festival. Lunaria cocks her head in curiousity and bites her lip. She grins suddenly.
"Nope, can't say I have a man, straw man or real man either way." She laughs and gives a kind of girlish giggle. She leans towards the little girl. "There will be a day where there is no prince charming, us girls will have to pull through, huh?" She gives another chuckle and answers the girl's next question. "Can't say I've heard of a festival! What's it about?" She swings her quiver over her head and places it on the table, Lunaria starts sharpening her arrow heads, might as well take some time, she'll be here for long.

[Snarfulblast]

So many new patrons in so little time, Snarfulblast could barely contain his joy. He moved with the speed of greased lightning, serve every single newcomer almost as soon as they sat down. He had just returned to behind the bar to hear@Dannyrulxorder, "Aye one Manhattan cocktail coming up! Anything else I can get ye lad?" He made and placed the drink close to the man. Snarf gave a slow look across the tavern and a large smile crept across his face, Ahhh how this reminded him of the days the Tavern first started, there was so much action! His concentration was broken when a familiar voice called out from one of the corner tables, "Hey Snarf! I could use a wee bit o' whiskey over here." The soft ,soothing, light Irish accent flowed across the Tavern floor. Snarf turned his head to see a smiling red haired human male, in a suit. "Be right there Thomas, where are ye guards if I may be so bold as to ask?" Snarf called back to the man, the response he received was two intimidating men walk up and stand at the entrances to the corner booth that Thomas had set himself in. Snarf just sighed as he got an empty glass and a bottle of whiskey which he handed to one of the suited bodyguards.

@Dark Light@Dannyrulx

Ayeka is glad that the little girl enjoy the cookies as she notice a couple of new people who enter the tavern. A girl with strawberry blonde hair and a thin guy who just ask for a Manhattan cocktail. She quickly made the cocktail as to her do not with him. She sits the drink in front of the newcomer. She feels a little depress but keeps smiling as there is nothing wrong. She could not help but hearing conversation about where their lover could be anywhere at the moment. She guess the newcomer can have a double of his drink order as she sighs.

[Dannyrulx]

@SnarfulblastThe man took a sip of his drink and nodded to the barman, before tapping a hand on the table. "So, apparently you guys are looking to hire entertainers? I'm a musician by trade, although I can do other things as well." He hadn't noticed the woman who had indicated to him. "The name's Daniel. Dunno if you want me to fill out a form or anything."

[Snarfulblast]

@Dannyrulx"If yer looking fer a job, check the board over there. Or you could look for my boss and ask him." Snarf points to the large notice board on the wall nearby, he then began to wipe out a few of the glasses that where on the shelf behind him making sure that there was no dust in them.

[Alisdragon911]

Ayeka guess she check the board to find another job. To her the battening job is already taken as she undid her apron. She walks over to the board to see what is open and what she could do. She studies the board and thinks to herself as her ears droop a little bit.

[Dannyrulx]

@Snarfulblast He nodded at the bartender and stood up, grabbing his cocktail as he did so. He nodded to the other woman also looking at the board, before pulling off a tab that said "entertainers wanted." He returned to the dwarf, and tapped on the table. "When will your boss be around then? I've got a couple of instruments just by the door, nothing special. Well, I mean, they're... Enchanted... But otherwise not special.

[Snarfulblast]

@Dannyrulx"The boss is usually here, but he stays in his office which is upstairs. And ye can bring in yer instruments, just don't lose 'em cause I'm not gonna find 'em for ya." Snarf just continues to make sure all the glasses are spotless.

Everything had froze for Anna as things usually did when she was overwhelmed. After the door was resumed she took her gaze from it and more people appeared suddenly afterwords. So much talking was going on for her to keep much a grasp of who said what. Her doe eyes glancing around the room slowly filling with unreasonable terror as the bar was getting crowded.

She didn't even want to get started on the fact the door kept opening to a different place. The cosept of the tavern moving places with everyone inside unthinkable to her. So many people got only a few seconds her mind registering one of the men from before the crowdening, was staring at her. Like a bear narrows down its preys vital areas to attack.

Her figure was sceuging up slowly and closer to her solitary seat at the bar. Others were seated to near. The bouncing of the little man behind the counter. Bright green eyes. Two big bear dudes. Quickly she was under her seat staring at everyone her mind trying to make if some where friend or foe. It would have looked strange to see such a girl under a barstool yet it was the only large object she could use for defense.

Here only excape was the door in front that she had vowed to stare at in horror. In a low voice she muttered in a forgiven language for many and something hat brought her as close as she could to home.

[Dark Light]

@ineffable
The little girl pauses as she looks at her in disbelief.

"but you have to!"

She replied shocked and matter-of-factly.
Getting closer by standing on the ends of her tippy toes she asks with a soft whisper.

"What do you do with all your sins then?"
