Sol City Modern Slice of life - Chapter 3 - (all welcome new and old)

Most likely a 3-4. I am not a SoCal butterfly, but I like to interact and write with others.

Pigeon Spit: A medieval fantasy story.

Abbot Andrew

After they left, Andrew took another Borks’s example and started writing on the walls.

1) People
2) Food
3) Resources

Then scratched in between people and food was housing. Finally between food and resources he wrote Occupations. Then he wrote in smaller letters Skilled. For four he put training.

On the next wall he wrote farms -> people -> houses -> occupations -> resources -> farms. He drew arrow from people to farms, houses and occupations. Then he wrote in bigger letters, resources and circled it.

Next Andrew called for one of the guards and sent him on an errand to get some more supplies.

When lunch arrived it was cold, though the soup was hot. Talia set the food out on the table. As Andrew looked up, he knew whoo her Mom was. He rose as she saw the sword and dagger with the gems. She swung her hand to strike his face. Andrew caught the arm and pinned it to his side, as she went for the dagger on her belt, he grabbed her wrist. He pulled her forward and kissed her forehead.
“Your Mom was the most beautiful women I ever saw,” he said, “and you look just like her.”
She looked at him and said through gritted teeth, “Let me go or I will scream.”
Andrew did and twisted just a little so she ended up sitting on her rump on the floor.

I need some items, he said. The word is that you are the person in the know. As I am a member of the Golden Tooth and a friend of the family, I expect you will treat me fairly. He handed her a list of items. Most of it was normal things. The locking chests from different places and the locking music boxes raised an eyebrow.

As Master Bork was eating, a tall muscular woman walked up from behind him and said, “That’s my table.” She moved with the grace of a cat since she was half cat, you could see some elf in her cheeks. Her hand held a dwarves hammer and a sword sat on her right hip.

Pigeon Spit: A medieval fantasy story.

The Abbot took this all in. He smiled at the information. He remembered when Talia's Dad was an apprentice and he wondered who he had married. Findir was a name he had not heard before. But he nodded, it would be a good choice. He had free movement, access to anyone around town, plus carrying bag of tools.

He could go to the tavern, but he doubted the girl would even talk to him at this point. Nor did he think the Captain was going to allow him to walk around town without an escort. With people throwing rocks, heck the captain would probably be more than happy to throw him into a cell of the jail they didn't have yet for the chaos he created.

This was hard for Andrew, letting someone dig him out of the muck. He wanted to go get some supplies, but Talia would be watched and his life would be short.

Andrew looked at Nelthurin and said, "I think I need some new work clothes for when the wall is built and I can plant the herb garden." he gave a wink then continues, "Do you think you could arrange a tailor or seamstress to come and measure me?" Then he looked at Master Bork, "I think you should arrange food for the lass to deliver for the midday meal, if you have time."

No problem

I was on the road and just got home late last night. Oh, I know who Talia's mother should me..

Alexander Grey

Name: Alexander Drake Grey

bio

Age: 22
Appearance:

pic

Alex has red hair and light brownish colored eyes. He is about average height. He has low body fat and a good amount of muscle. He tends to dress in comfortable clothes. His idea of dressing up is putting on a shirt with more than three buttons with black slip-on sneakers and black jeans.

Height: 5’8”
Weight: 192#
Likes: ships, building things, learning, goofing off with friends, and diving.
Dislikes: IRS, being told it can’t be done, obnoxious people, people trying to push him drink or do drugs.
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Special Talent: mechanic
Interests/hobbies:
Profession: Part time student, part time sailor/mechanic
Bio/Personality: Alex grew up on the water. His father was a shipwright and pilot. His mother was a nurse. She left them because of his father’s drinking when he was young.

Alex would go with his father for weeks at a time missing school. Child Protective Services had threatened to take him out of the home for flagrant truancy. He completed his Junior High and High School online normally working as a deckhand on whatever ship his father worked on at the time. His grades were not great, imagine working twelve hours on the deck, then spending a couple hours doing school.

Life on the sea is risky and the pay is good. It is not a matter of if you get injured, get swept overboard, or do something dumb, but when. At 14 he owned his first sports car. He is rebuilding it from the a wreck his father had in it. At 16 he saved up and bought a pickup that he uses as his service truck.

He carried on working after his father died from liver and kidney failure. He has a small repair shop down by the docks. It has a hoist that works most of the time so he can repair ships. Sometimes he and his equipment get flown out to a ship at see where he ends up doing underwater repairs and some slight salvage.

One of the things he is learning is that he does not know how to run the business. This was evident from two big events sponsored by the I.R.S. The first audit he ended up paying a lot of money. The second one almost cost him everything. This got him to apply for business school at the university. He was accepted as a provisionally as a hardship cases. He takes a couple classes towards the business degree then a class that interests him. He is currently taking Chinese because of a cute girl that at a small restaurant near the pier his shop is at.

Alex takes pride In what he does. He tends to be pragmatic in his thinking, taking what is useful and discarding the rest. Because of being a crew member on ships, Alex has learned to control his temper. You fight, you get dropped off and that means you don’t get a full share. Alex likes to lift weights and do things that help his diving. The girls in workout clothes do not hurt either.

Proposed Connections:

Xia Alexander

@King Tai
Alex's connection to Xia is physical therapy for a leg injury that he received while making a repair on a ship. The leg still hurts from time to time and he is constantly needed to be worked over from some minor injuries from work or lifting.

Marinalia

@PrinceAlexus
Marlins has flown Alex in her rotatory wing aircraft and dumped in out a sea to work on a ship a few times.

Joel Nicolosi

@Pilatus
What gear head doesn't like to talk engines, cars, trucks, and the like with another gear head. Borrowing tools from each other is cheaper than paying the tool trucks.

Siobhan Jude Murphy

@Almalthia
He refers to her as Joel's better half. Knowing her comes with knowing Joel. He sees her as a sister.

Joshua Anthony Russo

@caliban22
Alex has met Joshua many times late in the evening when projects or assignments are due.

YOJI LARA CELESTINO

@Headhunter
Alex eats like he is on ship. You eat everything in sight then go work for twelve to 20 hours. He also would do his best to keep the ENTRE DOS ISLAS running.

Paige Renee Kennedy

@Pilatus
Alex has met Paige in an official capacity as he tends to work on repairing ships that come and go from the port. He is use to his gear getting searched. He knows she is doing her job.

Charles Rainer

@Tyler Night
Alex is a frequent patron the the Hole in the Wall Bar and Grill. He started coming for the cheese steak sandwiches and burgers. He is getting to know Charles as a friend.

Abbot Andrew

Andrew smiled a little. He nodded at the plan.
”I guess I should stay in till we have a name,” he said calmly.

Looking at the Harbor Master he asks plainly, “Who is running the store now?” Asking where he could get some thieving supplies. Since much of it would be smuggled in, the harbor master would know quite well. Andrew knew that the man would more likely take his coin and pick up what he thought Andrew would need.

Andrew would put the captain and the men at their disposal. He would start to pray and prepare for the captures.

The Girl From the Forbidden Kingdom

Robert Philip Ball

With a gentle hand he does touch to feel the softness on her back. He wrinkles his brow as this isn't right.

He lifts her one hand under her knees and the other at the shoulders curved a little to keep her head from flopping and caries to the coach, placing her on the leather seat still covered by the blanket. He retrieved the water and the supplies and placed them inside with her. He gave her another drink and then got the horses moving. He thought about the bite. He had seen wolf bites on animals, this was like the size of a bear, but the teeth positions were wrong. He placed a hand on her head gently and brushed her hair out of her face.

He grabbed the reigns and released the breaks. He clicked for the horses to head for home. They had made the trip so many times that he only partially paid attention. Worrying that she was in pain and how he was going to sneak her past the house. He slowed the horses just a little so they would arrive at the evening meal. That would take care of much of the eyes and if he headed for his shop first no one would be surprised.

As they rode we watched - her, a storm that was building from the afternoon heat, he noticed fences that would need repair soon, he watched the apple and other fruit trees in the grove. The walls of the main estate appeared then grew. The lanterns were starting to glow softly in the dust. He moved the blanket to try to cover her from view. As he turned in and called for one of the servant boys.

"Get anything good?" the lad asked.
Robert prayed that the girl would stay still and quiet. He imagined her biting his hand and screaming.
"Please, close the gate. A storm is brewing," Robert said then continued, "Just the wine for the Lady and things for my experiments and the supplies. Fetch the carriage from the side door of my shop once I get my stuff out and the lamps lit. Tell my maid that I've had a bit to much to drink and that I need broth with my meal. I will take it in my shop. The small keg is the new ale from town. Give the boys a taste after you unload."

A smile appeared on the boys face and Robert clicked again and drove past the house to his shop. He parked to the side and was greeted by the dogs. He shooed them off. With haste he unloaded some of the supplies and looking to make sure no one was looking he unloaded the girl. He placed her on a couch. He stoked up the fire for the forge and the steams, closed and latched the doors then with a flick he sent his magic out to light the lamps. Using his magic, and hurrying to unload tired him. No one would think twice if he lit the forge. Even his maid would leave the tray and return to the house with rain coming.

He sat and watched the girl. Waiting for the food and the wash water to warm. He would check her wound again then feed her the broth and bread. The he would eat.

Pigeon Spit

Argh! Bump

Pigeon Spit: A medieval fantasy story.

Silverclaw Deerstawker

Down the hill from the Abbot’s stolen abode the Tabaxi sat in a crawl space watching. The thief watched the routine of the guard, the elf woman as she acted as the gate keeper, the dwarf coming and going. Killing the Abbot would have been easy. More than once the fool had stood in front of an open window holding Suzy. He didn’t understand why he would care if she lived or died. She was nothing more than a street urchin and would probably grow up to be a prostitute.

He needed the Abbot to keep stirring up the people, by doing dumb things. Mentioning closing the port and declaring martial law had brought four thieves to his side.

He did not understand why humans liked to live in their “glory days”. They were about as bad a dwarves, talking on and on about battles they were not even at. Who cares if he was a good thief years ago, is he a good thief now? Can he put coins in their pockets? From what he saw he doubted it to be possible. He would start working on the dwarf, well, his second wife a dwarf would.

note

He isn’t mean and he has a reason to be doing what he is doing. He finds human culture strange.
