Merida leaned over the top of Quasimodo's head, almost falling off with his strength and her being drunk.

"Woah calm down, it's just meeeeeee..." Merida mumbled, with only a minor slur. "You take the ones in front, I will watch your back."

Merida quickly sat back up, preparing to fire on any new threats.

Merida looks over the skelebob confused, maybe she had had one too many drinks or someone had poisoned her drink. Maybe skelebobs could be real, I mean there's a dragon that talks, a talking cricket, a talking parrot and a very big dog? Called a Llama? How far fetched is a skelebob?

Merida watches as Jack is engulfed in light and then reappears not long after dressed in a weird Halloween esc costume. As he finishes his grand old monologue, Merida puts it together. 'OH its a Halloween spirit,' she shrugs and watches as an army of children get to work doing... god knows what.

Merida watches the weird kids come back in a... she couldn't work out what it was. She watched as they lit and fired a... something? into the mass of shadows. A beautiful explosion of light and colour.

As Merida's eyes focus back, between the alcohol and the explosion of lights and sound it's making it hard for her to focus on th.... Her train of thought is cut off but the arrival of a redhead.

"REDHEATDS UNITNITE" she yells in an attempt at a battle cry as she tries to run toward the newcomer. As she eventually, not gracefully, reaches the newcomer, she jumps up onto his shoulders, wrapping her legs around their neck, making sure not to choke them. She gets comfortable, or as much as possible before introducing herself. "I am Meritha, Princess off Scotlands" she says in a hurried slur as she starts to fire arrows off into the masses of shadows, hoping she can be of some use in her current state.

As Merida is ushered out of the bar, her stumbling awkwardly over to Mulan, Kuzco and Cassium before looking at Cassim curiously. She smirks at Kuzco and his alpaca, giggling at how much more it looks like a big dog when shes drunk.

"Have I mett yoou yet?" she offers a hand vaguely in the direction of Cassim, interrupting the conversation before her attention is drawn away by someone yelling something.

At first, she couldn't make out what they had said and then she was even more confused when she had worked out what had been yelled. A soul Robber? What on earth was that? And is that a skeleton? Yelling? Oh I have had wayyyy too much to drink.

"Ar what?" She asked the two a little confused as too if she had heard the voice properly.

Merida's attention was snapped away by the sound of gunshots, she tried to focus on the figure shooting and the others that were appearing and seemingly disappearing at the edge of the wall of shadow. She could make out a vague shape of the person shooting, Gaston, but the other figures seemed to just disappear randomly. Gaston was shooting at these shadows, others joining them in attacking them as well.

Merida moved away from the others, putting them to the back of her mind before awkwardly nocking and drawing her bow in the general direction of the shadows, trusting the fact that the people she had become friends with were also attacking them. She quickly, or as quickly as she could in her drunken state, firing one arrow each at 4 shadows.

Merida's eyes flick over to the new commotion, her hand instinctively moves to her bow, before realising that it was just another bar fight. Her hands rest back on the table, freeing her knife that she'd dug into the table.

"Ahh it's nice to be back at home..." she mumbles to herself, having been in one too many barfights in the past.

A lady walks over, looking rather annoyed, most surprisingly at her, not the buffoon starting the bar fight. Maybe barfights were more normal here than she had first thought...

"Why would you have such a high quality and expensive table in a bar if you have patrons like him around?" She gestures toward Gaston before shaking her head dismissively. "Anyway, Ma'am I will have your money, but you might want to go deal with him before he does some real damage."

"You have clearly never met a Scott," she picks the tankard up and holds it up to the other man for cheers, a wide grin spreading across her face as they clash cups.

Both of them chug their drinks, the man finishing his drink a few moments before Merida.

"You seem to be able to drink like a man, it's just a shame you'll lose your prized horse tonight, remember the name Verton Eniski," Verton announces to her, gesturing to the barmaid for another round.

"You're all talk, no drink," she says holding up the new tankard of unknown beverage before starting to drink it, drinking the tankard at the same speed as the last, Verton quickly matching her, caught off guard by the girl's enthusiasm.
The two continue drinking, their conversations getting more and more slurred as they go on. The group of people that were sitting with the Verton started to cheer them both on, warming up to Merida, with a small gathering of people forming around the two intoxicated people.

Verton raises another tankard, Merida matching him, both of them spilling some of their drinks as the tankard clash against one another. By this stage, Merida wasn't able to see straight, the world to her was every moving, making her vision blurry if she didn't focus enough. Her fears of losing Angus were starting to grow, knowing that she couldn't drink too much more.

"W-we botttthhh seem to be abel to whold ourr drinks weil, W-whyo evr can drink thssss the fastests wins?" She offers, wanting to end this knowing she could easliy, well... she thought she could probably finish this last drink quicker than him.

"Sur..." Verton is cut off by a burp and a concerned look as he almost throws up his last drink, instantly regretting this. "S-surre, fasterest to finish there drunk winds. C-cont us down crowd" Verton replies, waiting for the crowd to count them down.

"3,2,1... Go!" A chorus of voices eggs them on, the crowd truly invested in this drinking contest between the town drunk and a girl who they had never seen before.

They both raise their tankards and eagerly drink, knowing how much this last drink is worth and how important it is to just win.

Thud, Thud

The two tankards slam down, onto the table almost in perfect sync, the crowd falls silent, unsure of who had won. The barmaid whose attention had been drawn away for the last round, knowing the stakes, steps forward reaching out to grab an arm of each contestant.

"Aaaaaand the winner is..." her voice trails off leaving an air of suspense as the crowd, and the two contests, wait for the announcement "Merida," Merida's arm is yanked up into the air, almost pulling her out of her seat.

A roar of excitement comes from the crowd and even the people who were originally sitting with Verton were excited.

As Merida got her arm back she offered a shaky hand out to her opponent for a handshake. "Ittwas ery close, w-we ill have to drinkt again some iiime Vertron"

Verton takes the hand and shakes it, before sliding a large bag of money across the table "Y-uow enred it frair and sqair, netts time you're in townd youell find me ere, ut first rund on you,"

Merida takes the bag, slipping it into her dress, before standing up shakily and stumbling over to find the rest of her group...

Merida follows the party into the city, attending to Angus herself as they reach the stables, not trusting the kid to properly look after Angus after the weird day they had had. Once Angus is fully taken care of she steps inside the pub, taking note she should probably find food to give to Angus later. She walks in with a smirk on her face, while she had no money she knew how she could get free drinks.

A loud roar of excitement comes from a corner of the bar, Merida walked over to see that some drunk had just won something... "I told you, lad, you never had a chance, now pay up." She watched the younger kid hand over a bag of coin looking rather depressed that he'd just lost his money. The crowd around the tables starts to laugh, amused with the kid's attempt, making remarks like "Easy money boss" and "That kid never stood a chance against someone like you."

Merida walked over and took the kids spot, stating loudly "I challenge you to a drinking contest, you're clearly a man with a high alcohol tolerance and I love a good challenge," her accent very prevalent as she talks.

"Lass go home, you don't stand a chance against the Boss," one of the many men that were crowded around the table. The others chorused the first man's comment or just bellowed out laughing at her statement.

"I said I challenge you to a drinking contest," she says loudly, slamming a small dagger into the table. The men go silent and the boss eyes her down.

"What makes you so confident you could beat me and what's in it for me when I win?" He stresses the 'when' and the men chuckle.

"I am a Scot, we can outdrink anyone and if you win, you can have my finest steed and all the equipment need to ride him," She says both proudly and confidently.

"A Scot?" He asks confused before shaking his head. "Fine if you're so confident, I will give you all of my winnings from tonight," he says piling a few bags of coins on the table. His entourage goes silent, looking at each other worried.

TO be continued...

Merida had been watching the newcomer since they had appeared on the horizon. She had managed to phase out of the conversation the others were having, having already worked out how she would get by, missing Pheobus' last comment. She watches like a hawk as they approach, giving Angus a playful nudge as the horse comes into better view, Angus making a slightly perturbed noise in return.

Once Mulan finishes addressing the newcomer, Merida speaks up. "I am Merida, Princess of DunBroch and this is Angus, my noble companion," she says welcomingly, or as much as she can with a Scottish accent. "Welcome to our humble... resting area, right next to a city," she adds with a slight hint of annoyance in her tone, "feel free to join us if you see fit."

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Abaddon stopped throwing things for a moment to properly take in the scene and everything that was happening with her and around her. She noticed the trail of destruction and death that Behemoth had left as it fought its way into the city. She noticed the change of weather, her body had pulled its self together, growing stronger as she threw more and more. She floated up and over toward Behemoth, moving to float in front of them, keeping a fair distance.

Abaddon lifts her arm, to talk into the communication device she was given, opening the coms to the general channel. "Metanoia, if you're out there, look to the sky, this is for you and this damned town!" She says with an annoyed tone. "And for the love of everything make it out of this alive..." she trails off, before turning her attention back Behemoth.

Abaddon hovers in front of Behemoth, radiating bright light, a wave of fear and horror washing over anyone who looks at her. Two wings of light had formed, stemming from her back, her body whole and complete for the first time in a long time. She raises her hands, contorting them, picking up two chunks of destroyed building from behind Behemoth, throwing them at full force, in the direction off either side of Behemoths head. She starts to contort her hands straight away send another volley but only gets as far as picking up two new chunks of a building before...

Crack

Abaddon yells as a bolt of lightning strikes her left shoulder, shattering the shoulder, her left arm falling to the ground below. One of the two chunks of the building falls to the ground, the other angrily slung toward Behemoths back.

"Stupid town, dumbass people managing to attract this thing with their war, destruction, and gangs," Abaddon mumbles rather annoyed, knowing she won't live if she continues to fight in this condition.

Abaddon sighs to herself, before starting to make a retreat to hide away in the streets and buildings of the city, both hoping to find and not to find any civilians of this town she came to dislike very quickly.

Merida goes pale at the mention of money, having not brought any with her on her hunting trip, before shrugging to herself knowing she took after her brothers and could "borrow" a thing or two when needed. She shakes her head to snap back to the conversation, lowering her bow seeing that the party has calmed down with the arrival of the dragon girl.

Angus whinnies playfully at the other horse, not fully sure how he feels but is impressed that he gets to sit on other people and does it well evidently. Also making note that Achilles is obedient, or enough at least.

"Well, shall we go into town instead of standing out here all night? It will be morning by the time you lot work out what you want to do." She adds with a joking tone in her voice to make sure there was no added tension.

She gives Mulan a courtesy and ignoring the guards comments of "entertainment" even if it did sound like fine, seeing girls in very little, showing a small smirk at the thought.

"I am Merida of the Princess of DunBroch, a kindom in Scotland, a master archer, an exelent horse ridder and a decent swords woman. She says to Mulan, before gesturing to her companion "and this is my Angus, a grand horse and companion," she adds, handing him another apple.

She turns to Pheobus giving him a careful eye, "it didn't but I would keep in mind that I could just as easily line that arrow up with your own nethers," she says curious about his flirting but cautious of him in he general.

Merida raises her bow, nocking an arrow as she raises it, turning to face the nearest of Kuzco's guards. She looks them dead in the eye, her bow fully drawn.

"If you dare try, you will wish that your wee sorry ass never left your little kingdom." She says deadly serious, before slowly easing the bowstring but leaving the arrow nocked in case.

She stands quietly watching the guards near her, internally smiling to herself as Kuzco goes through and corrects everything, in an OCD annoyed fashion. She giggles softly as the head of city guards steps forward to tell the arrogant emperor off, looking away as he turns to face her.

"Well fine, I apologise to you for jumping in and answering the question," she looks back at the man, bothered that she thinks it matters what her mother 'would think'. "I am a princess but I am not some damsel in distress and can well and truly hold my own. As for my mother, as much as I love my mother, I am a lady, an adult, it doesn't matter what she would or wouldn't approve of, not that that is any of your business,' she glares at the man for a moment before her mind snaps to a different point she had made. "Now that I mention it, where are we? This looks very far from home?" She asks, wanting to break the tension between the groups and actually learn where the whisps had brought her.
