Heaven has exactly one lawyer, but don't tell anyone. Mary Todd's still looking for him.

Woke up Christmas night and there was Santa glaring at me from the door. At least I think it was Santa. We had a marine neighbor, or maybe it was dad? Only neither one had a beard.

Bio
I am a seven-foot tall minecraft-playing hindu guru drag-queen alien.
Possessor of an Ancient Device™ Model 17. No, I don't know what it does. No, you can't play with it.
Pronouns: It. As in: "What is it? What does it want? Why is it here? Oh my god, it's got my... <insert random body part or object here>"
Likes: World Domination, Writing, Rpg, scifi/fantasy, anime, sketchup 3d models, and anime music videos.
Companions: a host of characters from other games, my personal muse Penny (as in Bad), and the Badger gang - Toothpick, Buttons, Shark, and Mongo. They grew up in the balcony of an old theatre that played a lot of gangster movies. Normally benign, but may invade the OOC forums.

"Do not anger the Princes," Kraseawei repeated under her breath, watching the enigmatic Vaskandar depart. "Good advice no matter where you are."
With a sigh, Kraseawei turns back to the others. "Well, shall we make our way to the Three Tails while we take in the city? I myself would welcome a private hot bath, food on a plate that doesn't slide around, and not having to share a room with chatty teens."
Aboard ship, you bathed with sea water in a basin, it left you feeling sorta gummy and itchy later. It would be nice to find a wizard who could craft a copper bath for a ship that could make hot water on demand in your cabin. Although no doubt the Captain's wife would be using it to scrub the clothes and boil the noodles.
Kraseawei shuddered slightly at the thought, making the golden hoop hanging from her ear tremble. Maybe if they were lucky, they'd run into some fresh food - apples that haven't been aging for weeks in a barrel, vegetables that weren't canned to preserve them, and something sweet for later.
Having spent all this time at sea, she welcomed a change.
"And," she added raising her hands in prayer as she bowed her head to address Harth, "The walk should get your land legs back."
She started slowly down the street, swaying back and forth, side to side as her own legs remembered the shifting deck, even when standing 'still'.

My bad didn’t mean to ghost y’all I didn’t have notifications on for this and I kinda forgot about it
always good to subscribe.
Posted. Her rolling walk is something most sailors share for a while.
I think so? Like I said before I got married yesterday and I'm going on my honeymoon tomorrow. I'll be back around the 14, so just assume Druuk is with the group looking vaguely grumpy, that's his standard resting facial expression.
Congratulations, have fun. May this be the start of many happy years together.
I do believe that's all of us?
Kraseawei's eyes narrowed at Vaskandar's approach. A recruiter, of course, scouting out talent no doubt on each arriving ship. The question, of course, is wondering who Vaskandar was working for. Unlikely to be an assassin working the docks - and why would he be targeting any of them? And of course, meeting up at a tavern, of all places. Never at court. Never in a meeting room in the local castle or the local guild.
Did they have guilds here?
Lucky, of course, was already pumping the man for information, while Caleb was curious.
"A tour to this tavern would be welcome," Kraseawei shrugged, her friendly smile having somehow losing its way to her eyes. "We wouldn't mind finding out more about this town and learn about the important people here, such as yourself. And, of course, how things are going deeper in the vale."
Maybe someone would try to roll them. That would be fun, she wouldn't mind a workout.

Room for one more?
Giving the captain's two daughters a goodbye hug, Kraseawei gave the captain and his family a wave as she walked down the gang plank only to catch the guard's curt commands as he pointed to the booths across the way. On the Golden Griffin, the ship would remain anchored in the harbor as goods were ferried over on boats and barges for them to stow below deck. Only the officers and senior crew would venture ashore.
“Kraseawai, why is the ground still moving?!” the dwarf priest asked. Was that a hint of alarm she heard in his voice? Still, in his mannerisms, he reminded her of the Sisters of Photia.
"Father Harth," the sailor said, bowing her head and holding her hands up in prayer, but unable to remove the grin, "Your legs have learned the way of the sea and the shifting deck, now they must remember the way of the land and the still ground. They should remember soon enough."
Still, she frowned at the rough treatment the men at the table gave to the gruff dwarf, but the other two had little problem. As Druuk stepped past the table, she stepped forward, eyeing the man curiously. A landlubber, to be sure. She reminded her of something though. Or of someone...
"Your ah... your name?" the clerk asked, still a little rattled.
"Templar," she replied coolly. "Kraseawei Templar."
"Kra what?" he demanded incredulously.
"Kra-sea-wei," she repeated slowly. "It is the name Mother Shadeleaf gave me when they found me at the Blessed Fountain." She bowed her head respectfully, then looked up.
"Uh huh, just how do you..."
"Kay, are, ay, ess, e, ay, double-yoo, e, eye," she nodded, long used to spelling it out.
"It sounds made..." the clerk said, squirming in his seat.
"Mother Shadeleaf said it was Elvish," Kraseawei frowns, a glint in her eye harder than the jewel Father Hanth had. "Are you calling her a liar?"
"Certainly not," he stated. "Are you here for business or pleasure...?"
"Why not both?" Kraseawei shrugged, then said, "I am here to hunt monsters."
"Business, then," he said, glancing down as he scribbled that into his book, then steeled himself. "Have you anything to declare?"
"Just the tools of my trade," she replied, raising one eyebrow before lifting her seabag onto the table. "A cutlass, a dagger, my ditty bag, some spare clothes, and of course what I am wearing."
The bag was opened and poked around, but it was as she said. He stared at her, then his quill pointed at her waist. "Those pouches, what's in there?"
"What little coin I have left, and my thousand-year-old eggs."
"Your what?"
"My thousand-year-old eggs," she said, opening the other pouch and pulling out a black egg then handing it to him.
The clerk stared at it doubtfully, the shell gray where the black egg had rubbed against the sticks of chalk she kept between them.
"What's this for, do you eat them?" Despite the paint, it was clearly a chicken's egg. He handed it back, gingerly. Who knew what sort of stench might come out if one broke.
"For luck," Kraseawei replied, tucking it back inside her pouch.
He gave her a look as if to say, 'somebody saw you coming,' then scribbed down 'thousand-year-old eggs.'
"Next," he sang out, waving her past.
