[Electra ] smiled at all of them "nice to meet you all i'm Electra-for reasons ovious" she laughed gesturing to the constantflow of electriciy showering from her hair she wiped her ands nervously on her rainbow pants then looked to Edarius and smiled "hey both or your guy's hair is blue! are you brothers?"

Edarius smiles at Electra, "No. I'm an only child in my family" His smile slowly fades...

LoX drains the bottle, then proceeds to toss it over his shoulder, directly into the trashcan behind him, landing with a crash! , followed by the tinkling sounds of breaking glass. "Whoops." He remarks, to no one in particular before sliding off the bartop, guitar in hand. The strap is once again slung over his shoulder, his hands adjusting it so that it hangs from his back once again. "I have no family. There's only me and my fiance and her family. Well...I've a father, but I don't talk about him." With that, he proceeds to head towards the door.

Electra blinked and frowned herelectricity turning off "ohh...i'm sorry i made you all mad! your not smiling any more and Lox is leaving..."

Edarius cringes at the sound of breaking glass. He always does...

[Edarius ] No no Electra! I'm not mad at all, I just started to think, that's all.

LoX turns slightly, his form suddenly sheathed by the golden flow of lightning, rippling and cavorting about his form, to trace the kanji of Air around his body. "Yeah....you look like a real livewire, lass." A dry remark before he shakes his head and cuts the flow of kinetics that he employs. "Nah. It's late anyway....I need to be getting home before my wife-to-be starts worrying."

Electra frowned again at Lox's remark and put her head down on the table wondering why he hated her she pased and looked at Edarius "....thinking hurts you?"

[Edarius ] Thinking of the past does, anyway.

Flash_Guardian bursts into the pub in a haphazard fashion, his very being sending out waves of excitement as he grins broadly and quickly makes his way into the establishment, looking around for familiar faces. He seems very pleased about something, something that he wishes to express to a friend or two ...

Electra blinked a crious electrc currnet returning "whY?"

LoX happens to be in Flash's way, almost colliding with the young man before he neatly spins aside at the last moment. "What th....Watch where you're goin', ma-....Oh. Damn, Flash...you in a hurry?" One azure eyebrow raises quizzically.

Edarius looks down at the floor and chuckles "It's a long story Electra... Not one for tellling this late at night." Smiling at her, he lightly pats her on her shoulder. "Don't worry, nothing you could've done would have put me in a bad mood" Still smiling, he walks over to the bar and waits to be waited on.

Flash_Guardian nearly collides with his teacher in his haste as he rushes into the room, expertly dodging to the side, though rather unnecessarily. He digs his heels in and swiftly comes to a halt beside Kazuya, broad and beaming grin lining his face. "LoX!" he greets his sensei cheerfully, unable to keep his feet rooted in place for more than a moment, it seems. "I just found the perfect place! I know where I'm going to build my dojo now!"

[LoX ] "Oh? That brothel on Twelfth and Main finally get shut down?" A quick grin sports along his lips as his teases his pupil. "Seriously, now. Okay...where?" A bit of a spark plays in his eyes, his tone suddenly matching Flash's. Still some form of the Trickster within his soul, to say the least.

Electra perked up slightly and watched Ed walk away so she sat there for a momentbefore putting er head down on the table and dozing lightly so she wouldn't shrot circut so to speakwhile she waited or Ed to come back-if he was coming back.

Edarius , having attained the bartender's attention, ordered a 'tropical lifesaver' a drink introduced to him by his step-sister-in-law. As he waits for his drink, he notices Electra dozing. I hope I did not bore her to sleep he thinks to himself.

Flash_Guardian skates right over LoX's little joke with little more than a groan, his eagerness being to much to dwell on it for too long. "I was out in the ocean for a swim when I found it ... it's an island, not even two hundred feet out from the mainland." Flash points out in the direction that he'd come from, red cape trailing from his wrist beneath his golden bracer. "Well, I guess it's not technically an island, as there is a way to walk over to it. There's a very narrow ledge underwater that leads right up to the place ... you could walk it, if you didn't mind wading in water up past your stomach for a few minutes. That's actually how I found the place ... followed the shallow ledge out there until it reached the island."

Electra woke up again immdiatly as Ed came back she smiled at him "hiya!"

LoX blinks rather rapidly for a few moments, his eyebrow quirked almost comically now. "Wait....y'mean Redtooth Island? The one right off the beach? It's called Redtooth because of the way the sunset and dawn colours the stones upon the peaks, right? I think I might know where you're talking about. If not, it might be someplace similar ro something. At any rate, tell me more...I haven't been out that way in years....maybe decades." He spins on his heel and strides back to the bar, leveraging himself back to perch on it once more.

Edarius chuckles from the bar and waves at Electra. "Were you dreaming? I am still over here awaiting my drink!" He smiles at the friendly little bolt of happiness and turns back to the bar as the bartender returns with his drink.

Electra laughed and shook her head "nah i didn't want to short circut i spend alot of engery wandering around cause i can't stop the electrcity flow...so i short circut somtimes and i'll fall into hybernation for awhile..it's not fun when you wake up and can't remember how you got there.."she shrugged

Edarius chuckling all the way back to his seat, he sits down to enjoy his drink.

Flash_Guardian grins at the chance to talk of his plans ... and who better than his mentor, Kaz, after all? "Redtooth, huh?" He ponders for a moment. "From what I can tell, the island is pretty small ... only one or two real rocky peaks to speak of. It's probably no more than ... I dunno, a quarter of a mile across?" Traces of golden energy catch his eye on the floor, however ... the gathered golden power of air that usually signified LoX's departure. "Umm ... were you going somewhere, or something?" Flash holds his excitement for the moment. No sense keeping LoX from anything important.

Electra looked at him still smiling "what are you drinking?"

[Edarius ] Glad you asked. It's called a 'Tropical Lifesaver' I'ts pina collada mixed with a pineapple wine cooler. Or so I'm told. I don't ask, I just drink. He smiles at her as he takes a sip

LoX shrugs as the last of the golden energies seem to dissipate into thin air. "Exactly....like two fangs, kinda? Maybe it was Redfang...I never remember those details." He snaps his fingers idly..."Redtooth, Redfang. Meh...white boney extensions, dammit. Nope....not anywhere for the moment, I guess. Anyway, let 'er rip....what style, what methodology, weapons training, discipline, standards for each student. Let me have it, mate."

Electra blinked not understanding what he'd meant but she heard the part about wine then nodded "oh so thats why this place smells of beer barrell tress..."

Edarius takes another sip and looks at Electra. "Yes, yes I suppose that is why."

Electra smiled and nodded plaing with a ball of electricity "you said..that..you didn't like tat mans music....why not?"

Flash_Guardian nods, reaching the bar in two strides and hopping up into a seat. "Well, I'm thinking about building the place in a traditional style, using the five Tao elements to direct the building," he begins. "You know, fire, water, wood, metal and earth." He waves his hands over the elements, assuming Kaz knows all about them anyway, quickly nabbing a nearby pen and a napkin as he begins to sketch a floor plan. "So there will be five rooms, the largest room being earth at the center, the other four rooms on either side for the other respective elements. And for good measure, a covered sort of ring shaped porch around the whole outside."

Edarius sets his drink down on the table, "I didn't like it, not to say that I hated it, because it just wasn't my style of music. I prefer music that is dark in nature, and deep in sound."

Electra nodded "oh ok..i guess we have different tastes in music then i like the harp Ben plas it reall well"

Edarius nods at Electra, "You mentioned Ben and his harp earlier. You must enjoy his music, no?"

[LoX ] "Ah. So basically, it'll be the discipline of the Five Rings, eh? Traditional. I should have you meet a few people some day. Might re-arrange your values on the elemental styles. Anyway, the Shadow Bloom isn't so much something that's taught anymore anyway. My adopted son's the last person who learned it." He sighs for a moment, then settles back on the bartop. "Sounds like a place to start, mate."

Electra nods excitdedly "of course! he's a bard and a knight"

Flash_Guardian shrugs. "Well, those are the five elements that I'm aware of ... and they're just going to be used as guidelines, really." He continues. "As for what sort of training will go on inside, that's entirely up to whoever is present and able to teach ... most often myself, I would think, though guests with sufficient skill would of course be welcome. So it will be primarily the art of hand to hand and magic." He thinks for a moment, peering up into nothing with the end of the pen in his mouth now. "I haven't really put too much time or thought into a code of conduct for the place, but I would expect any who enter the place to treat others with respect and act honorably, of course."

Edarius happens to glance at his wristwatch and nearly falls out of his chair when he realizes the time. "I appologize Electra, but I must go. It has been a grand pleasure making your aquaintance this night." He smiles at the jovial girl as he heads towards the door.

LoX nods once, his stormy eyes distant for a moment before he turns his gaze back on his pupil. "You'll do well. A magical academy along with a hand-to-hand course, eh? Perhaps you should just call it the Heroe's Guild and be done with it." A quick chuckle, before he changes the topic. "Speaking of which, perhaps if this takes off....I might come calling for your best and brightest to swell the ranks of the Sanctum Knights. We're too few and stretched too thin to truly effect many things within the Keep's inner-workings anymore. Fortunately, no one else is privy to the secrets we safeguard from the other inhabitants....and even moreso, the fact that few of us even remember what we guard in the first place." His voice is lowered enough so that only Flash can hear him. "Perhaps the top of the class can enter further training within my ranks."

Electra blinked and watched him go she smiled "bye! glad to met you freind!"

[Edarius ] Bye everyone. I wish you all the best! And with that, he opened the door, walked to his car, and drove off into the night

Blackheart appears rising up from the Pub s floor, the entire area trembling as the earth gives way to a widening portal of sorts that spews forth an acrid stench of brimstone. Ghostly flames begin to rise and scorch the floor in a wide arc behind Blackheart as his full form is revealed, a sight not many mortals would care to see within their lifetime if they could help it. Small chittering demons scramble from the portal and escape into dimly lit corners of the Pub as Blackheart takes a step forward, his blackened claws taking hold in the realm of the living once more. The fiery portal behind Blackheart closes and he wretches his claws with a clattering sound while gazing around at all the patrons with deep, glowing, red eyes. It s not everyday the Lord of the Netherworld comes to the Pub, or is it? Blackheart casually walks around the Pub for a moment as if inspecting the place before crossing his arms with a certain satisfaction. Time to pay the Devil his due

Flash_Guardian makes a face. "Heroes Guild?" He sticks out his tongue, not seeming fond of the idea at all. "Oh come on, even I could do better than that. How about 'Flash's school of Hard Knocks and Magic Tricks?'" At LoX's mention of the Knights, his demeanor sobers and a smile comes over his face. "I hope to gather the brightest and the best fighting talents the Keep has to offer. Nothing to do but wait and watch, and hope for the best, I guess." He seems pleased that his plans may serve yet another purpose.

LoX glances over towards the 'devil' with a quick smile. "Oh, so sad, mate. M'times up already?" A quick grin is offered to the creature before he turns to regard Flash once more. "Perhaps so, Flash....perhaps so. Nothing else left for us but shattered promises, broken dreams and shards of mysteries too broad for us to understand. Such is fate, eh? At any rate, this is all merely speculation....we'll see what happens."

Blackheart finds all is well in the Pub and attends himself to comandeering a large, wooden keg of brew. He places the keg up to his chest where a multitude of little green hands reach out and drag the item in with a cackling of glee. Blackheart looks LoX and Flash's way... giving them a nod of sorts to acknowladge them.

Flash_Guardian feels the earth shake momentarily. Glancing behind him, he sees darkness, demon, and flames appear. "Must they always do that?" he mutters under his breath, shaking his head and returning his thoughts to his plans. "Plenty to look forward to LoX, I'm sure." Blackheart's nod is returned uncertainly, as Flash still doesn't know what to make of this proposed Lord of the Underworld.

LoX merely chuckles at Flash's reaction to the Lord of one of the many forms of Hell, Keepside. "Maybe. I just need something to focus my attention on for awhile. I've been told that I'm changing for the worse." A small sigh escapes his lips before his storm-tainted eyes caress the form of each of the other occupants for a moment. He turns back to Flash once more and shrugs. "Guess I'm not so infallible, huh?"

Blackheart leans to one side and listens to LoX and Flash's conversation before ducking the rafers and walking over to the two. "Having an eventful night?" Blackheart asks.

Flash_Guardian isn't sure entirely what to make of LoX's words. He simply sighs. "You and me both, sensei," he agrees, shaking his head. "You and me both." He glances up at Blackheart, his response swift and simple. "I guess you could say that. Building plans for the future, you could say."

LoX glances up at Blackheart and shrugs. "Actually rather repetitive, mate. Just giving the old mental gears a twist or two, setting a few potential plans in motion. Maybe even send you a few more souls that nobody else might want. You wouldn't happen to take crazed demi-gods or vindictive full-Gods, would you?"

Blackheart 's eyes curve outwards and give him a somewhat comical 'expression' as he replies to LoX, "Oh... more of those floating around causing mayhem? And here I am always being judged as one of them. My gates are open to any who fit the 'profile'..." Blackheart nods to Flash and says to him, "Toil, plot, and scheme. I do hope whatever plans you have work out especially well for you and yours.... yes."

Lafiel steps quietly inside and looks around at everyone gathered. she stops when she sees Blackheart for a moment then sits in a dark corner, blending with the shadows

Blackheart 's tail perks up when Lafiel enters and 'eyes' her way, the tip sniffing about and following her until she gets out of range.

Flash_Guardian blinks at Kaz, startled. "You know this ... guy?" he says, jerking a thumb in Blackheart's direction. "And if you're after some upstart god-like figures, maybe I could help you out. I could certainly stand to get out some religious frustration," he comments, a bitter look of determination on his face.

LoX merely offers Blackheart a grin. "And they also say that you're a pretty little thing with pure white wings and blonde hair....Oh, and that you sing rather well, too. Silly legends. At any rate, there always seems to be more than a few of those floating around. That's why they call me the Great Equalizer, y'know."

LoX grins rather broadly at Flash. "Oh, we met once upon a time for lunch in the Arena. Heck, he even played a somewhat small part in me meeting my wife-to-be. Her sister was a friend of his. Anyway, sure, I know Blackie. Good sort, even without all the malignant comments and venal appearance."

Blackheart lifts a blackened talon Lox and Flash's way and saying, "You two play your part in this realm then, and I shall play mine. Keeping the corrupted souls and being for all eternity, where they can no longer bother your kind."

Blackheart ....the great matchmaker. Never let the general public know, shh. Heh.

Lafiel speaks softly in Elvish and points the door. her little kitsune slips out the door when it opens.Lafiel lowers her head, allowing her blue hair to fall forward, hiding her face, ignoring Blackheart's presence

Flash_Guardian nods at Blackheart's hopeful words. "Umm ... thanks. I hope they work out, too." He seems a bit perplexed, but begins to show some understanding of the arrangement that LoX and Blackheart seem to have. "I'll certainly do my best, then."

Blackheart leans down to Flash and whispers something without a mouth to do so.

[Blackheart whispers to Flash_Guardian] I just work here.

LoX grins at Flash, then winks. "Sure thing. I kick their asses, Blackie torments the...um....hell out of 'em. Seems like a fair enough bargain t'me. The more asses I kick, the more souls he has to play with." A yawn punctuates his last statement before he slips s few stray strands of azure-colored hair from his face. "Well, folks, creatures, Evil Underlords, psychos and overall crazies...I've got some sleep to catch up on..."

Blackheart cackles a bit to himself and leans back up, looking around at all the newcomers and promptly smacking his head into the Pub's ceiling. Blackheart's spines pierce the roofing and stick there as he nods to LoX saying, "Do gain your rest well."

Alita flinches as Blackheart crushes the rafters. Ucch...

Flash_Guardian gives Blackheart an odd sort of look after a whisper ... yet can't help but chuckle a little. A strange one, this one, to be sure. But Flash seems to look upon him with a bit more understanding now. "Catch you later, sensei." A respectful nod is given, along with a smirk of amusement.

Blackheart 's ears would pick up at the words curse .... if he had any. Instead he prys his mane loose from the Pub's ceiling and lumbers over behind Adraycia and Alita to listen.

[LoX ] "Plan on it." A quick grin is offered to both Flash and Blackheart before he summons and gathers the kinetic energies that claim deep root within the fibers of his being, golden lightning sheathing his form, the air around him warping, almost curdling in effect as the sundered molecules form the kanji of Air. "Lata!" With a rolling thunderclap, his form is gone, evaporated into the weave that binds all things.

Lafiel conjurs herself a bottle of ale and takes a long drink, keeping a wary eye on everyone present

Flash_Guardian sighs as his talking companions of the moment both depart, deciding to return his attentions once more to his dojo. A complete floorplan is still needed, as well as a few governing rules ... pen to mouth, he ponders the many possibilities from his seat at the bar, seemingly oblivious to the others around him.

Blackheart 's little minions leap and roll with commando-moves as Lania ambushes them! One of them rolls quite a way and hides behind Lafiel's leg, clinging to it and cackling!

Lafiel pushes the one sleeve of her small top back to her shoulder when it slips down and takes another drink of her ale. she looks up at Karkaran for a moment then looks back down at the ground. she picks up the minion thing and hurls it across the room. she looks at Blackheart and says in a dark voice that bears no emotion "keep whatever those things are away from me"

Blackheart 's little minion flies through the air with the greatest of ease, like a cute little critter on a flying trapeese. All thanks to Lafiel, whom Blackheart isn't exactly paying attention to at the moment. The green demon splashes against the wall and disappates into a puff of green vapor.

Lafiel looks at Blackheart with a hard face for a moment then nods back to Karkaran but offers no smile. she then lowers her head again, closing her colorless eyes

Flash_Guardian furrows his brow, turning back to the napkin with his pen and scritching a few more notes. He was beginning to run out of space ... there was so much that could be done with such an establishment! So what to leave out and what to keep ...

Lania holsters her gun, making her way over to the bar with something between a sashay and a swagger, looking quite awkward in the process, or at least awkward for someone used to using with stealth and grace. She silently curses whoever thought of heels as a positive idea for women and takes a seat at the bar, crossing her legs with a little bit more concentration than is necessary. She sighs softly and rolls her eyes at herself, blowing a piece of white hair out of her face before speaking quietly to the bartender. "Vodka mar....er, actually, a Dr. Pepper, please." She groans and shakes her head. "Maybe this whole being a girl thing wasn't such a good idea after all..." Her blue and grey swirled eyes slowly slide across the room, taking ib the many strange faces there, a hint of amusement on her face for a change.

Blackheart 's two little minions that were previously glued to things in the kitchen free themselves and come scurrying out behind Blyssan quietly. One of them points to Flash and the other points to the two ladies next to their master. The small green minions high-tail it over to the table and peek up over the edge, eyeing Alita's deadly elbow and give out a mock look of surprise!

Flash_Guardian again seems oblivious to the approach of the demonic little green minions, finishing one last bit of writing, then setting his pen aside to look at his list. The entrance, with sitting rooms, a study, and message boards; a Classroom; a Shrine; a Museum; and a Central Arena for combat and such, of course. An auxiliary building would house the common rooms, kitchen, parlor, and other storage as needed. 'Not bad,' he thinks, nodding in approval and wondering if he's left anything out.

Blackheart use to have a his little green minions as seperate entities here in the Keep, before the single-logged-character-limit was enforced. Typo-Demons... they were vicious too!

Lafiel downs the rest of her drink and squeezes the bottle slightly and it disappears. she sighs and is soon lost in thought, but is still aware of her surroundings. she brushes her hair beind her ears and stares at the ground, her white eyes blank

Lania yawns softly and boredly, taking a sip of her drink and grumbling quietly. What fun was going to the pub all alone if she couldn't get drunk? She sighs softly and resigns herself to her fate, spinning a quarter idly on the bartop and looking around the room for something of some slight amusement. Getting out of the house just wasn't as much fun since she'd developed that pesky conscience thing.

Omenis pushes the door open barely enough as she slips her head around to peer into the room bewildment at so many people here ...opulent eyes moving from one person to another unsure about being here

Blackheart cackles a bit and says to Alita, "One would hope so... and early demise is not something you should wish for here. I am Blackheart, lord of said realm. What other... talents ... do you possess?"

[Karkaran Dawnstar ] "Of Marinor, perhaps? Or maybe even Ercaman? No wait...this is a different realm now...different gods, different creatures." He sighs. "Um...I'm sorry to ask this of you and all....but...do I somehow frighten you, Miss? You've been rather skittish since I walked in the door. I'm rather certain that I've never seen you before...so...you can only imagine my...wonderment?"

Flash_Guardian grins, setting the napkin down once more ... and then a novel idea strikes him as he turns the napkin over , revealing a completely unblemished writing surface on the other side! Amazing! The pen is quickly reclaimed, and Flash begins to sketch down a few rules that could be used to govern his planned building.

Omenis head comes up a little as her eyes come to rest on the back of a person she recognises a smile beginning to form upon her lips as she edges futher into the crowded room....turning to close the door quietly behind her before stepping towards the form at the bar

Lania arches a brow in Karkaran's direction, smirking and shaking her head as she looks between him and the barmaid. She takes another sip of her drink and sets it to the side for the moment, producing her right browning and proceeding to polish the well loved piece of hardware. "Perhaps it's because you're a male who's paying entirely too much attention to a barmaid, which usually means you're out to get in their pants. Or maybe it's because you seem to be hounding her in a corner to talk, when perhaps she does not enjoy such pastimes. Hmmm, the possibilities that don't revolve around it being some mysterious foreknowledge of your character." She grins sweetly and bats her eyelashes. She's so much nicer when she drinks, she really has no idea on earth why Larails wanted her to stop.

Flash_Guardian frowns as he seems to be having some difficulty writing at the moment. He's never really been good at making rules, just enforcing them. His mind wanders about the interior of his imagined dojo, picturing various scenarios and trying to adjudicate them as best he can, still unaware of his surroundings as a blue-cloaked young woman approaches his seat at the bar from behind.

Blyssan drops the plates, a huge clattering rush of shards of ceramic and glass fracturing at her feet, it had been so long since she'd heard those names spoken by another, thugh she makes like she fell over a chair leg, rather than shattered the plates as easily as life had her dreams. Turning to look back at the gentleman with apology staining her face, last it could be apology "Weapons always unsettle me, Sire. --" A look to the other woman, a thankful little curl to her shoulders "And indeed, I should get back to work..As the Lady said, it is most..well, it is not wise for me to hang my heels here, the landlord dislikes over familiarity." Stepping over the broken crockery and away, fingers touching ot her necklace

Lafiel watches Blackheart and Alita with disinterest. she gives a tiny, almost non-existant smile and shakes her head. Blackheart had told her to prepare to die the next time he saw her. seems he was nothing but wind

Omenis smile reflects in the colour of her eyes silent footsteps taking her ever closer to Flash...stopping just inches from him...her voice soft as she greets him" Hello"

Karkaran Dawnstar simply shakes his head, raises his gauntleted hands and steps away from the servingwoman...there was nothing left to be said. Oh well....curiosity has always been proven to be a bad idea. No reply is given either of them before he simply spins on his heel in precise and disciplined fashion and returns to his seat. A few moments pass before he finally stands up, re-ties the scarf about his face and calmly leaves the Pub and its rather unfriendly occupants.

Flash_Guardian 's thoughts are at last broken at the sound of a resounding crash, fine china having been dropped and broken noisily, head whipping in the direction of the noise. From out of the corner of his eyes, he at last notices the girl behind him, hearing her voice. He pushes off the bar with his foot, spinning him around now to face the young woman and smiling down at her. "Hey!" he answers her in greeting happily. And then he realizes just what sort of place she's in, frowning slightly. "Ummm ... what brings you to a place like this?" he asks in concern.

Lania snickers softly. "Awwww, I think I hurt his wittle feelings." She sighs and rolls her eyes, taking another sip of her Dr.Pepper and sighing softly. "Dear God I'd forgot how boring being good was. No drinking, no shooting, no killing, and I'm not even getting sex in return. Jesus H. he must be drugging me." She chuckles softly at that picture and shakes her head, chewing on the straw of her Dr.Pepper and spinning around on the stool out of boredom.

Omenis tilts her head not understanding the sort of place this was at all...glancing about concerned..." Have I done wrong...should I not be here?" eyes looking back at him

Lafiel stands and makes her way to the door. she'd not partaken of anything from the pub itself but still places a small pile of gold coins on the bar for the serving girl as she passes it anyways

Flash_Guardian glances around nervously, eyes at last taking in the full extent of his surroundings. Blackheart seems to have gone, leaving only a handful of people around, none of which seem to be particularly dangerous or otherwise harmful to a blossoming mind. "No," he says, shaking his head and smiling. "I think it's alright. For now, at least." He swivels slightly to his left, indicating the empty stool next to him with an open hand. "Have a seat?" he offers.

Omenis looks at the stool he indicated nodding slowly as she steps to the stool slipping upon it's surface....hands going to rest upon her lap..." What happens here later?" head turning to look at him as she speaks

Blyssan 's scurried into the kitchens and not come out again, a younger boy making his way to clean up the debries, indeed it seems she 's been throughly scared off, for there's neither hide nor hair of her for the rest of the morning.

Flash_Guardian sees no reason not to be honest with the girl about this place. "This is a gathering place for all kinds of people, good and bad and inbetween," he explains. "You can get food and drink of all kinds here, and it's a great place to meet friends and others that you may know. On the worst of days, though, fights tend to break out between certain people, so it can be a little dangerous." He leans a bit closer and says, in a lower voice. "You'll need to be careful who you decide to trust in a place like this." Omenis's eyes may catch sight of a napkin on the counter in front of Flash, scrawled with all manner of writing and sketches.

Lania bends back over the stool, so that her stomach is laying on top of the stool, her head dangling over towards the floor, so her body is in sort of a u-shape, with her stomach as the bending point. She grins cutely over at Omenis and nods in agreement with Flash, those lovely sensitive ears of hers picking up on his whispered words. "Oh yes, very careful. You mighr end up being someone's food and drink." She snickers a bti wickedly, perhaps just trying to scare the girl a little bit, or perhaps actually being truthful. Who knows.

Omenis listens patienctly to Flash noding once " How does a person know when it is dangerous?" as she speaks another question forms and quickly follows " do people frighten others here...want to hurt others?" her gaze dropping to linger upon the pened paper

Omenis gaze drops to rest upon the female looking at her ....as she smiles back...." Why would someone want to do that..?" her voice curious ...

Flash_Guardian looks over at Lania curiously, raising a brow at her unusual sitting posture. Turning once more to Omenis, he simply shrugs. "It's not always easy to tell. Dangerous people usually have dangerous things with them," he says, pointing to the sword at Lania's back for example. "But not always. The best way to tell is if the way a person acts makes you feel uncomfortable in any way. But then again, sometimes people who act too friendly might have bad reasons for doing so ..." Flash grits his teeth awkwardly, his explanation seeming rather self-defeating. "You'll just have to find out for yourself, I guess. Just listen to your heart, uhh ..." He blinks, fishing for something in his mind. "I don't believe I recall hearing your name?"

Omenis nods " You asked if I had one .....and I do" her brows knit slowly head tilting a little as if thinking..." You make it sound very hard to know if someone is frightened of you or not"

Lania grins at Omenis, her fangs glinting in the light as she flashes the razor sharp incisors. Slowly she rolls the muscles in her stomach, pulling herself up with the effortless ease that was unapparent while she tried so hard to walk in the blasted heels that seemed to be the mark of a truly "feminine" woman that men are attracted to in this realm. She shakes her head softly to regain her bearings, then turns to face Omenis and flash once more, turning back on that wickedly dazzling smile, her voice dropping down about an octave until it turns to the voice of smooth honey, dripping off of her tongue and just begging to be listened to. "Because, my dear, you are food to some people." She nods softly in agreement with Flash, drawing forth her katana with the soft sing of metal that vibrates throughout the air, the light reflecting off the smooth surface as she twirls it like a color guard would a flag or rifle, carelessly and with little attention. While she spins the sword she withdraws her Browning, aiming >

[Lania ] ...playfully at Omenis, before spinning it and reholstering it, all the while keeping up the motion of her katana. "Yes, dangerous toys are usually a good indicator of someone who is dangerous. Or someone who's scared. Depends."

Flash_Guardian considers for a moment, giving a stern glare now to the reckless play of weapons displayed by Lania. "See that?" he says, pointing the wildly whirling blade out to Omenis. "That scares me. Not that she's going to kill me, mind you ... more that she's going to accidentally and needlessly hurt someone or break a chair or table because she doesn't know how to use a sword, apparently." A bit harsher words for the woman. "Would you put that away, please?" he says, indicating her katana with an open hand, the look on his face conveying slight impatience.

Omenis attention once more goes to Lania the soft glint of the light having reflected somwehat from those sharp fangs she had displayed...a hand reaching out only to quickly drop as Lania moves...Omenis's gaze following her watching her display though the metal weapon she points is lost upon her..." And should I be afraid of you?" a simple question simply asked

Lania rolls her eyes at Flash, tossing the sword up into the air and letting it fall down, catching the blade within her hand, allowing it to slide down and slice open her hand, the full two-and-a-half to three feet of the blade sliding through her closed hand, the slice of flesh heard to anyone with hearing sensitive enough to percieve such things. She smirks grimly at Flash as her blood runs down the blade, a soft shiver running down her spine for some unknown reason. She takes the cloth which she was using to clean her gun and slides it down the blade of her sword, moving her hand to the hilt so she can adequately remove the blood before resheathing the weapon, wiping off the hilt after it's holstered. She tucks the bloodied cloth back into her pocket afterwards and proceeds to slide her tongue slowly along her wound, her blue and grey swirled eyes going stark silver, reflecting the light from the room. "I know how to use a sword. It's one of the few things I really do know. I have put it away for your >

[Lania ] ...comfort, however." Her silver eyes slide over to catch Omenis', a soft smile crossing her face, a bit dark in manner. "No, you have no need to fear me. I might feed off of you, had I need or desire, but I would not kill you. I have been....regretfully neutured, so to speak. A bit of human emotion has come to me, ironically after I was no longer human." She chuckles wryly. "So no, I will not kill you now. A month ago, if the price was right, yes, but now, no. You're safe, so long as you do not touch that which means most to me in the world."

Omenis looks to Flash at the first hint of anger in his voice..silent as she looks back to the one which had caursed such a reaction though a little unsure why this display was angering him so...looking back at Lania " I give you my word I will not touch....this...." head tilting " Being you speak of".

Flash_Guardian stares at Lania's rather sadistic swordplay and resulting hand injury with mild horror, eyes wide as she cleans up after herself with her cloth ... and her tongue. He simply sits there for a moment, chin hanging wordlessly, before speaking sidelong to Omenis. "A vampire, if I'm not mistaken. Humanoid beings who have traded life for ... a similar yet darker sort of existence, in many cases. Vampires can be dangerous as friend or foe, and are never to be taken lightly." Turning back to Lania, he swallows and asks her diplomatically. "Alright, and what is it exactly that I should keep my hands from? Such would be good to know lest I trespass unknowingly in the future."

Omenis listens to Flash explanation of the species she is seeing though she had never seen a vampire before and thus unsure how dangerous it is yet froming this from the reaction of his to the female on his recgonisation ..and thus now quietly watches them both

Lania smirks softly at Flash's horrified look, burtsting out into laughter, his reaction amusing her greatly. She shakes her head, running the already healing hand through her hair, swiping the loose tendrils behind her ears. "Yes, indeed, a vampire. I chose this form over death. I was starving when I was injured badly, grounding me for several days until I was too weak to move to sustain myself. I was offered this...darker form of existence, as you so kindly put it, or death. I chose life. I have always chosen life, and have no regrets for it. I was an assassin in my mortal life. In truth, I have killed fewer mortals as a vampire than I did as a human, so I do not feel it is so much darker. As for who you should keep your hands from, his name is Larails. He is my maker, and the one person in this world I care for. I would threaten your destruction, but in all honesty he is stronger than I." She laughs softly. "Do not think that would make me hesitate to kill you though."

Flash_Guardian nods to the woman. "Fair enough. Now," he says, turning back to Omenis, "I shall introduce you to one of the finer points of this place ... the food." He grins eagerly, flagging down a server with a hand and quickly ordering the most delicious thing he can think of at the moment ... a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a strawberry milkshake. He then would look to Omenis invitingly. "Is there anything you'd like?" Flash would use the girl's name, but she still hasn't given it to him yet, perhaps having her reasons for keeping it from him.

Omenis listens intently to the convesation making note of the name for future reference in case she indeed meets such a person turning back to the bar hands resting once more in her lap as he speaks the words of the strange food....." I dont know....perhaps....the same as yourself would that be wrong?"

Lania yawns softly as the excitement wanes, reaching back to retrieve her Dr.Pepper and sip at it idly. She taps her fingers against the barstool, considering what to do for amusement now that she has successfully been put on Flash and Omenis' top ten least wanted list.

Flash_Guardian just grins and laughs. "Make that two," he tells the server, who moves away to relay the order to the chefs in the kitchen. "Don't worry. I think you'll like." Mere moments later, the server returns with two plates, each of which bears that wonderful combination of grilled beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onions between a pair of buns that Flash is so fond of. Aside from the burgers, a heaping portion of french fries covers almost half the plate. Shortly after the plates touch down in front of the pair, two glasses with a milky yet rosy tinted substance are slid across the counter for the pair, straws sticking out of the tops just waiting to be slurped upon. Flash grins, rubbing his hands together as he reaches for the ketchup hungrily.

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin is , like a shadow in the night. Shadows from realms that never existed pool on one wall, pulsing and twisting as if alive. He slides from this soundlessly, his body seeming to be made from the very same substance he had just come from. Those shadows ran from his body like water as he slowly became solid again and melted down to become his shadow. Not bothering to lower the hood of his cloak, he begins to study the other beings scattered around the place. A slightly sardonic grin spreading over his lips, not that it could be seen. His eye color wavered between a deep, almost bottomless blue, and a stark, glaring red. However, this too went unseen, the shadows cast by the hood hiding his face. Nothing sparked his interest, so instead he turned his attention to finding somewhere to sit, so he could observe these beings in quiet. Although, that quiet may not last long

Omenis does not move as the plates are put in front of them eyes glancing over the piled food.....at the stringy long things taking up most of the plate...her nose wrinkling as she lightly sniffs the aroma issuing from the food...head turning a little to watch Flash

Flash_Guardian quickly uncaps the ketchup and up-ends it over his plate to pour. After finishing, he sets the bottle near Omenis in case she wants any, then grabs his tasty burger with both hands and takes a monstrous bite, chewing happily with his eyes closed. "Mmmmm...."

Omenis watches him pour a red gooey substance onto the things on his plate......tentively a hand rising to take hold of the bottle tipping a dollop in a corner.....before putting the bottle down....a slight frown forming as she watches Flash eat his first mouthful...both hands now reaching to take hold of her own burger.....looking at it a moment before opening her mouth taking a small bite

Lania slides off of her seat and out of the pub silently, leaving behind her drained glass of Dr.Pepper and a chewed up straw.

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin wandered vaguely in a direction of the bar, his long black cloak flicking out behind him with every step he took. "Vodka..." was the muttered request to the batender as he took a seat. At long last, he lowered the hood that hid his face so well, that sardonic grin still plastered on his face.

Dusty once again headed to some sort of temporary shelter which would be the Pub. This time, he didn't hit his head against the door attempting to open it, or trip on the stairs which came beforehand. The boy, did, however, bump into a barstool yet again, but acted like nothing happened and again slipped into a booth. His eyes attempted to adjust to possibly see anything remarkable.

Flash_Guardian looks back to Omenis inquisitively, curious to see if she likes her burger or not. He also looks around at the newcomers to this place, regarding each one with a curious eye.

Dusty could just see shapes of figures and other large objects for the moment, so he wouldn't be able to tell if anyone was looking towards him. It wouldn't matter though, because his head now rested on one of his hands as he sat there staring at the table.

Omenis begins to chew slowly her face changing as she experinces all the different taste the food is giving her...eyes opening wider as she gazes down at the burger

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin was bored, as could clearly be seen by the large yawn that escaped his mouth. The fangs that hung in his mouth made themselves even more prominate, glistening in the dim light of the establishment. Once his mouth was closed again, though the fansg still not hidden, he took a sip of his drink then returned to examining the other patrons.

Neveah looked over at Dusty once more and finally realized who he was.She walks over to him and sits down in front of him.She smiles at him warmly and speaks "Hello, are you the boy who was quite sick a couple of days ago? If not, I'm sorry for interrupting you"

Flash_Guardian offers a nod of greeting to anyone who by chance manages to meet his eyes, though still he remains in burger bliss, pleased to see that Omenis likes what she has found. Swallowing, he laughs at her interest. "Good, isn't it? Wait until you try the fries." And with that, he releases a hand from his burger just long enough to scoop up one of the deep-fried potato slivers, slip it through the ketchup and pop the whole thing into his mouth, nodding approvingly.

Dusty squinted his eyes a moment at the girl before deciding to give up. It was useless if he could only see shapes and no sort of definition whatsoever. "Yeah...it's fine." He seemed to have a disinterested tone in his voice.

Zeria enters, snatching a menu from the nearest table, and walking right up to the counter, opening it and leaning over. "OKay, buddies, I'd like this, this... oooh! this too... triple portions, thanks so much.." she grins, and turns, leaving the bartender staring at he rlike she's insane.

Dusty seemed to get distracted from the conversation, ears perking up as he sensed some sort of food nearby. His eyes pivoted in that direction, rather than his entire head, so that it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Omenis tilts her head looking at the burger ..taking another small bite head turning to look at Flash as he takes a handful of the stringy suggy thingies...her eyes gazing to the containor holding the liquid with the long thin cone poking out....." It is.....interesting"

Neveah frowns a bit and sighs "You must be him.....You look quite familiar..." :She stands up and looks back at Dusty "Anyways, you sound annoyed or something...So I guess I will leave you be" :with that, Nev stalks away back to her tab;e

Dusty glanced back to the girl's form as she walked away and shrugged. Couldn't help that he sounded annoyed. He can't really see well you know. For now, he laid his head down on the table.

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin drew his katana from its sheath. The stark, soul-like energy burned into life, like a new born star. The energy twisted, trying to claw its way from the perfect, deadly steel that encased it. Runes, twisting and blurring as if alive, flared into new power along the deadly edges, twisting reality and space into a Nega Well. Slowly Illidan raised the blade, barring any damage from anywhere, sparks of Nega flashing and whirring with deadly intent from the blade. He grinned slowly, fangs flashing, until the dull, liquid like Nega encased them, too. And then the energy that laced itslef along the blade promptly died down. Reaching into the inner pocket of his cloak he pulled out a cloth. It seems the entire flashy display was simply to clean his sword. ((yes that's just how bored i am ^^ lol))

Flash_Guardian slides his plate over in Dusty's direction, clearly an offer to partake of the french fries. Flash smiles at the young neko in a friendly manner. "Pull up a stool and have a fry, if you like." An odd sort of glance is given to the hungry woman, Zeria, seated behind him.

Zeria twitches... the Justice Sense is calling her! She promptly leaps onto her table. "The wicked will never triumph! I, Zeria Seyruun Greywards, shall conqur all those who stand against Jussssstiiiice! " with that, she flips off the table, actually landing, unlike a certian warrior of justice, near Dusty.. Seeing him. "Oooh! A Kitty!"

Dusty laid his head up at the offer of food. He couldn't quite tell what it was, and wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to trust people here. He wrinkled his nose at the plate before trying one of these pieces of nourishment.

Dusty lowered his ears at that comment. He thought that was pretty ignorant of the girl, if she was talking to him anyway. It was hard for him to tell.

Flash_Guardian blinks once ... then twice ... at Zeria's display, french fry hanging halfway out of his mouth. My, how attractive. At last he swallows, simply turning back to Dusty. "You should try it with some ketchup next time," he recommends happily, turning back to see how Omenis is doing. Though he is distracted by a rather flashy display of negative energy of some kind behind him, eyes drawn to Illidan's sword for a moment. Reminds him of another sword that he knows ... and hates ...

Zeria leans over to pet the kittyman a moment... before... "Ahh! Ohhhh Nooo! " she darts back to her table, and drags it into a corner. What's with her?

Dusty was simply too overrun by everyone's actions to possibly get a hint of what was happening. He shook his head, pushing the fries slightly away from him, and laid his head down on the table.

Zeria blinks... Tray... upon tray... has arrived! *snarf pop, crach, burp, chew*

Flash_Guardian blinks, startled first by Zeria, then at Dusty's refusal of the food. Potato probably wasn't his thing, Flash assumed. A few more bites are taken out of the hamburger, and a few more fries downed before at last he reaches for his strawberry milkshake, sucking hard on the straw to get the thick yet tasty stuff up the straw and into his mouth. Omenis seems to have gone rather quiet, a fact which makes him curious to no end as to what she thinks, hoping she's enjoying.

Sirius is, in the doorway as his right arm rests against his chest, paw gripped to his left shoulder while he grins, wuith what could only be termed a dirty look...

Omenis puts her half finished burger down upon her plate.....food was still something new to her ..its various taste and smells she had even found she disliked some...a seemingly strong pull at her as she turns to look at Illidan studying him careful puzzeled somewhat ............before her attention goes into the same direction as that of Flash and the creatures ..

Catriona enters, graceful steps carrying the white, curly haired young woman towards the fire. Her dress is expensive but elegant. She chose this herself rather then have it given to her. Blue eyes glance around the room, a faint smile on her lips as she nods.

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin seemed to notice the attention he seemed to have drawn. Whoops, his bad. Yet he dismissed such thoughts and continued to clean th balde of his weapon. The way he wiped the smudges and traces of blood and who knows what else, it was almost lovingly,wow he needs a life if a sword means so much to him.

Dusty glanced back to the doorway, most likely to make an exit as he prepared to get up. However, he did see some sort of form there, so his head went right back onto the table again. There was far too much going on here for him to handle.

[Zeria ] Mercenaries: A group of about four big unsavory-looking characters press inside. their apparently leader, an guy with an eyepatch, has some kind of paper, and he's looking the room over....

[Prima_Luce ] has sat quietly for many uncountable moments in a chair meticulously ajar from it's table. "So I ask you this," his voice hoarse. "If I try to fail and succeed, what have I done?"

Omenis smiles at Dusty as she takes her burger holding it out towards him seeing Flash share persuming it is the done thing...." Would you like this.....a..a burger it taste interesting?" unsure now what she should do

Zeria leans back, sighing, and glancing out the window... hmmm..Out comes a map, and she then leans over it.

Prima_Luce returns to staring blankly ahead.

Flash_Guardian would answer Prima's question after swallowing another bit of milkshake. "Nothing productive, that's for sure," he says with a chuckle. Omenis must not mind her meal too much, seeing as she's already gotten most of it down. Nothing like a peaceful meal in a comfortable atmosphere, especially when you're able to share it with someone else.

[Zeria ] Mercenaries: "Good work, Boys... corner 'er..." they spread out, then the leader speaks. "Hey! Miss Greywords!" Another, off to the side, poduces a throwing dagger. "Shadow SNAP!" the throwing dagger is sent towards, of course, Zeria

Dusty tilted his head upward at the girl. Everyone seemed suspiciously kind today, and it weirded him out. On one hand, he could turn down the girl, though it may seem of some opposition to her. On the other hand, he could accept, but it could be a trick. And on the last hand, he thought he was just overexaggerating, so there went his head right down on the table again. There's a nursery rhyme for ya. x.X;

Catriona blinks, watching the Mercenaries warily. She sits silently, decidedly uncomfortable about the whole thing.

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin could have stepped in and dealt with the mercenaries.... but he just cleaned his sword, far too soon to get it all bloody again. So he just sat, still sipping on that vodka.... must be one of those endless cups....

Dusty became just the slightest bit frightened at the idea of a fight. Who brings this sort of deal to a public place? He kept his head down, just to create the illusion that he was asleep, so that maybe he would go unharmed. From the look of his bionic arm, he didn't need more things going wrong.

Prima_Luce looks up at the sounds of throwing knives. "What kind of mercenary plans their great coup de graces in a well lit, well populated pub?"

Zeria sighs, turning.. then.. -snap- he rshadow's peirced by the dagger. Needless to say, NPC's at least would be trying to get away from the fighting. She struggles with the spell a moment, trying to think of a way out... ugh... This is no fair!

Omenis looks at Dusty to the burger to him....to the stringie things on her plate it was those he had eatten of Flash perhaps he did not like this thing called a burger....head tilting a little before putting the burger down carefully and pushing the plate to him.....eatting was very new to her so she needed very little ..." Would you prefer these?"

Flash_Guardian grumbles. Yep, this is nothing like a peaceful meal in a comfortable atmosphere. A dagger is thrown, the peaceful air shattered. His burger is thrown to his plate, quickly hopping up off his stool and standing on defense.

[Zeria ] Mercenaries: A glance from the lackey is sent towards Prima. "Mind your Business, We're working for Seyruun." THe leader approches. "Finnally caught you, Princess. You gave Zelgadis quite a scare... He even issured Live BOunties on you."

Zeria groans. "Oh, great. Yeah, you creap! You, over there! Since when does Seyruun need Mercenaries!? and You, Mr. Leader Person.... Why didn't he just come after me myself.. or did I do a good enough job hiding my trail?"

Kade stalks into the pub, shortly after his morning meal it seems. He wipes his mouth clean and shoves and old hankerchief back into a back pocket.

Omenis head lifts as her attention is taken by the sounds of what appears to be...a disagrrement....her brows knit ...and then widerns a little

Sirius gl;ances across to the mercenaries. "Git ta numbe rfoor ta one t'e git a lil' grrl eh?"

Illidan_the_Dark_Paladin looked to those mercenaries again. What the hell... he thought. He stood, standing to his full height. HIs blade flared with power, much in the same fashion it did before. That somewhat insane grin also found it's way to his face, the demon did so love to fight, almost as much as he loved that weapon he weilded. A growl passed from his throat, threatening in such a way that well.... was bad....

Dusty was still there with his head on the table, becoming increasingly uneasy as more occupants seemed to get themselves involved in the argument. Dusty was between it all of course, trying his best to look incapacitated.

[Zeria ] Mercenaries: "He's great but he can't be everywhe-" he glares towards Sirius, now. "Eh? Who asked you?"

Flash_Guardian simply watches as the scene develops, a protective glance shot in Omenis's direction every now and again. At the sight of Illidan rising from his seat, Flash's eyes go wide. "Grab your plate," Flash quickly instructs the girl, a bit of franticness in his voice as he takes his own in both hands. "We need to go. Now."

Catriona whimpers softly at the commotion, slinking down a little more into her chair. White curls falling about her face.

Sirius grins wickedly and steps back with a calm glint, "Ah did..." with that, his paws rub.

Zeria takes advantage of that destraction.. "Lighting!" a brilliant burst covers her shadow, makig the spell that held he ruseless as she lunges at the destracted mercenary, shoulder-tackling him in the chest, sending him to the ground. He rhand moves for er sword then, as the whole gang is drawing theirs. "Too bad, you know he's the only one who's everb eate me, right.. I can take you chumps.. come on..."

Kade looks rather confused as he sees whats going on in the pub, as always coming in half way through. He does quickly pick out Flash and make his way over to him, "Whats going on?"

Omenis looks from the near fight to the furry creature.....and then to....something smaller.....catching Flash's words as she tunrs back to him...her plate and contents had been offered to Dusty...stepping towards Flash

Dusty perks his ears up slightly at the strange accent making itself noticeable among the group. That fox guy, he remembered talking to Rusty about a month or two ago. Of course, he realized that his ears being raised were an obvious sign that he was still alive so he slowly lifted his head up.

Flash_Guardian fires a quick grin at Kade, plate of food held in both hands. "People are fighting in the pub again ... and we're leaving, that's what." No more explanation than that is offered, save a quick head nod to Illidan with his sword drawn. That should be enough warning to Kade. He was there last time.

Kade nods and looks around, "Yeah, that part I sorta picked up on the way in, you start it this time too?"

Sirius yawns, flicks an ear at Illidan and shrugs, snickering as his eye flickers to the girl before he returns to the mercenaries.."Tahme ta ev'n up th' ods...." he growls lightly. " Dill Brand! " Slamming his paw to the floor simply as that, he'd be likely to trigger a phenomenom about the four mercenaries; commencing with a wind circling them, stirring up the dust and grime as well the tails of their clothes, followed by an ominous pink-crimson glower erupting from the floor before - Kaboom! The good old ascension to the skies big bang, right at the mercs feet he'd hope. A second hope being that he'd send them flying over the hills and far away.

Flash_Guardian nearly jumps as he remembers to grab his napkin with all of his brainstorming and sketches on it. "Not me Kade. I swear, every time I try to get some work done in this place, somebody decides to get rough! Next time I'm going to do my planning at someplace quiet, like a library or something." No time to pay for the food as Flash hastily makes his way to the back door, spilling a few french fries on his way.

[Zeria ] Mercenaries: They, all with ehr back for a moment, draw their blades.. all but one.. this one loooks spooked, and snatches the map still laying on her table.. as.. -boom-.. half the group is gone! Now, the remainder look towards sirius, befor efreaking out. THe leader is last to get up, running for the door "We won't forget thiiiis!"

Omenis had stepped towards Flash eyes gazing over the man he was talking to she noticed his indication to the sword man usure herself why this being seemed to have a pull of somesort against her.....glancing back to the furry male before hastily following Flash

Catriona yelps loudly as Sirius causes such a commotion. "My heavens!" She shakes a little, terrified one would think.

Kade nods slowly as he watches Flash make for the back door, feeling a little deja vu, "You'd probably get it set on fire, Flash!"

Sirius grins, baring his canines. "Seehyeh leyta, suckas... Firebahll! " A flick of his wrist, as though hurling a ball, and quite instantly, hurtling a blazing vermilion sphere of flame the size of a man's head towards the backs of the remaining mercenaries "Eh HEHEHEHEE!"

Dusty was still staring straight ahead, just at moving figures and such, and probably would've gone deaf if he was any closer to the noise. What an inconvenience too, deaf and nearly blind x.X;

Zeria let sgo of the hilt of he rsword, brushing herself off. "That's what I thought...." she grabs the dagger from the falling wood of e ronce-table, curiously.. no neat markings or anything... no clues... SHe'll glance at Sirius. "Hey... who do you think you are? I haven't had any fun since a week ago when i took out some bandits along the road! eh?" -duck and coveeeer!-

[Zeria ] Mercenaries: *Blast, they run off on FIREEE!*

Sirius grunts, turning to Zeria. He shrugs quietly. "Who'm ah? Th' Flaymin' Scutsmahn." With that, he pads out grimly.

Flash_Guardian growls back at Kade. "Hey, who asked you?" And with that, he's gone, standing outside the rear of the Pub holding a plate of rapidly cooling food. That just takes the cake ... nothing is worse than cold french fries.

Kade shrugs after Flash is gone, talking to himself, "Nobody ever does, world'd be a hell of a lot better if they did."
