Devaine_Hawk leans over in his chair to kick at Flash’s shin ,with a chrome tipped rattle snake skin cowboy boot ,”listen up grass hopper!”

Flash_Guardian snaps back to attention suddenly, popping his head up above the table again, eyes wide and innocent if rather full of panic. "Huh?" And then his wolf speaks. Out loud. His eyes clench shut in frustration, and he sighs hopelessly. "Yeah ..." he mutters to no one in particular.

The Stranger was still waitign to hear the childs name.

MoonWolf would notice he was specking out load he would stop and quickly say "Bark"or something that wolf's do..hopeing no one heard him speck for it must remine hidden

Meokair looks to him and smiles softly taking the galss and the bottle of milk. Setting the glass of C.M./soda on the table she props her son up in her arms and places the bottle nipple to his mouth so he could feed. Looking to The Stranger she smiles softly and watches him. "I named him Gareth. It means strong in Drow... I believe...." She says softly to him before looking down to her son. "WOuld you care to hold him?" She asks softly enjoying the conversation even if it was at a minimal.

Flash_Guardian simply straightens up in his seat, withdrawing his cape from MoonWolf and giving LoX his full and undivided attention, letting MoonWolf get whatever was coming to him at this point. "Sorry ... you were speaking of the Sanctum Knights?" he asks, as if nothing out of the ordinary was going on.

LoX shifts in his seat, one azure-coloured brow still arched in an almost bemused expression. "Perhaps the boy ain't ready to hear this...or maybe he needs more training. A lesson in patience perhaps?"

Devaine_Hawk turns his attention back to LoX , listening intently ,eyes flashing with blue white sparks of energy, “ this is one story I don’t mind hearing again , just to make sure even with photographic memory and total recall and what ever else my mind decides to unload on me next “he thinks.

Flash_Guardian glares through half closed eyes at LoX. "I once spent 732 years in a temporal stasis tube when someone forgot to activate the stasis field. I have learned patience."

The Stranger cocked his brow a bit at the mention of Drow, that was somethign he had not heard sicne his days of highschool dungeons and dragons playing. "What an original name.....i like it. Umm hold the child no i couldn't" He seemed very nervous at the whole mention of holding the baby. "So where is the father, it surprises me that he would not accompany you to a place like this"

ShaneFreedmont leaned back against the table, lifting her Oakley's from obstruction to headband as she moved them to her head. Her mulit-hued eyes cast out over the bar. She noticed the men from the garden as well as a wolf. She smiled as she watched it, having liked wolves since she was younger. Wolves and snakes. Her brothers used to tease her with various things, including animals, but she was never afraid of the two. She was more afraid of insects for they could lay eggs in her ears and nostrils. She shuddered as she relived the thought.

Meokair watches him and sighs softly. Smiling and laughing she in a way sensed his nervousness. Moving into the booth more she pats the seat hoping he would sit with her. he seemed nice and she hoped she was making a new friend. Looking to him she smiles "Thank you... and his father left me for another though he did not last long",/I> She says a little angrily but more sadened at the fact that she would raise her child on her own.

Meokair looks to him and frowns slightly as she watches him. You will do perfect with kids. I wish someone in my life was like you and would care for my child as well as me" She says sadly "But unfortunatly I have nno friends and no one to help care for my child. Many do not except him as he is like me... a creation.. a mix of many different races. And he is not their child. he is someone else's" She says sadly once more as she brushes at her eyes hidding the tears that threatened to fall.

The Stranger looks up to Miranda as she climbs around his bar. "Hey get down from there...you break soemthign and i will break your ass" he said kind of loudly but hoping not to firghten the child in his arms.

Flash_Guardian hears many distractions in the background, but does his best to focus lest his teacher perform his earlier lesson a second time.

LoX pauses in order to take a quick drink of his Corona, then continues, his eyes quickly sharpening. "At any rate, we of the Sanctum Knights are those that have taken up the mission to guard each secret tucked away inside the Keep and maintain the overall security thereof. Anything that threatens this will bring our attention, quickly." The sudden burst of energy from the 'wild woman' has his eyes softly shimmering, a delicate golden cast to them, like warm honey caught in a ray of the sun. For a moment, there would seem to be a simple reassurance in his own signature, a quick smile flitting over his lips as he attempts to touch minds with the woman, in order to calm her down. "Way to go, Flash. Your dog is scaring the patrons." A teasing tone in his voice.

Devaine_Hawk slides one hand under his jacket a all the commotion in the room, but his eyes never leave LoX , never can be too careful..

MoonWolf would vanise once again then reappear on the bar thing and stare's deeply into The Stranger's Eye's he would then Vanise and reappear by Flashe's feet laying down..Thinking to himself this is hard not to talk..

Miranda 's just purely terrified, her glance to the man shouting at her not helping. She speaks, a low gutteral sound but too fast to be discerned, like a sped up record, she's careful though, she understood his words enough to know she was in trouble. The Psion, the blue haired one, he's got her attention, the woman drinking in the touch as she falls back to the floor as light as a feather, scampering on all fours like a cautious beast circling wounded prey.

The Stranger looks back over to Meokair and offers a sympathetic glanse, he tried to hold back what he was going to say next he knew many people didn't like to hear it, but he couldn't hold it back. "God loves everyone you your child, me....them over there. Thing will get beter they alwasy do, i am sure you will fidn a good man to taek care of you and your child one day" His smile went back to the calm one of a man of mystery. He looekd down to Gareth and smield at the boy.

Flash_Guardian glowers at MoonWolf. "Me and my 'dog' are going to have a little talk later on ..." He shakes his head, bringing his thoughts back to the matter at hand. More and more, the Sanctum Knights sounded just like what he was already called to do by his own deity.

LoX 's eyes shift from the rafters back to Jesse. "Leave her alone, Jess. She's just frightened and a little confused, I'd say. If she breaks something, I'll pay for it." A quick wink closes one eye, one thought radiated from his mind to hers. It's okay. Fear not. Followed by a quick flood of soothing mental images, as long as the touch lasts.

Meokair snorts at his words. "I will believe it the day a man walks into my life and stays cuz he cares and not to just get what lays benmeath clothing" She growls as she picks her drink up and angrily drinks half of it down.

Devaine_Hawk eases the pistol back in it’s holster at LoX’s word and ties to make sure no one saw where his hand was as he pulls it back out .

MoonWolf would look up at Flash for he now understod and knew he was in trouble he would let out a sigh softly..and and cover his face with his paw's..

[The Stranger] "Yes to often men are like that, but one day one will come along, you just need to be patient"

Meokair snorts once more and sighs "I highy doubt that"

Rhyss walked carefully in, his eyes hidden beneath the opaque glasses resting on his nose, passed over many of those within, a slight and quick laugh made before again his progress continued forwards, one hand within apocket fiddlign with some hidden object, some curiosity he picked up along the way. He cleared his throat upon reaching the bar , turning himself so he could lean one elbow upon it. Waiting...

Miranda stills, someone having hit stop on a life-scaled game of Musical Statues and she didn't want to lose. Her eyes close in a flicker and long arms wrap around her ribs, slowly she rocks on her haunches, quiet, calm and distanced. the little bone cross at her throat rocking in time, throbbing a little with warmth.

The Stranger takes the bottle from Gareth since it is all gone and soon he would be sucking air, so he sets the bottle on the table. "Do you think you could take your son back for a few so that i may have a cigarette?"

Flash_Guardian nods approvingly at LoX. "This Sanctum Knights things sounds like just what I'm looking for here," he says, tapping the table with a finger. "If they ever need an extra hand, mine will be gladly offered. I'm sure Chen won't mind, since it's what I'm called to do anyway," he says with a shrug.

Devaine_Hawk nods in agreement with Flash , “like I said , when do we get started ,and just what do you want me to do?”

LoX glances over at Jesse. "You wouldn't happen to have food back there, would you?" Once again, the boundless depths of his storm-tinged eyes are riveted on the woman. "She has much potential..." His voice is quiet, but it radiates a certain authority deep within the undertones. Suddenly, he turns back around to Flash and Devaine. "Right...um...As soon as possible. Obviously, not tonight, but soon...as soon as I can get word back to the others. I need to summon Janus and perhaps track down the older members."

The Stranger turns around and gives a look to LoX "Yeah there is a full kitchen back there and i just had everythign restocked.....so help yourself, anything for friends man"

Meokair nods slowly as she takes gareth into her arms and pats his back letting him burp out the gas. Smiling softly she looks to Jesse and nods slowly as she watches her son carefully

Flash_Guardian nods affirmatively, casting a glance back at the wild woman who was making such a racket earlier, curious as to what his mentor sees in her.

Devaine_Hawk nods his head and throws his glass of Jack back ,before lighting another smoke , “you got my card , and know where to find me , just say the word ,food does sound good though”

LoX snaps his fingers as he figures out just the thing, then focuses, a chocolate bar suddenly appearing in his hand, translocated....or perhaps it was merely sleight of hand and it was in his pocket all along. One hand is outstretched as he peels it open and towards the woman. As the touch continues, a warm smile transfigures his appearance to a more radiant incarnation, eyes suddenly gentle and reassuring. It's okay...this is for you.

Miranda hasn't moved, nor blinked, a self-inflicted statis of sorts as she lets herself bask in the was of psioic energy, absorbing it as a battery recharging. Any scratches, any nicks on her skin fade to nothing, even her eyes seem brighter, and she's focused, entirely on the Psionic man, the link sought again with the insistance of youth, an almost bite for attention from her mind as it asserts itself.

S\'gos would walk into the bar seeing a lady with a baby he would then walk toward her asking her "May I take a set M'Lady"he would ask smileing kindly

The Stranger stands up and reaches into his jean pocket retrieving his marlboros and zippo, he takes one out and palces it between his dry slightly cracked lips, and lit it up, taking a long drag from it as he sat down. Lettign the nicotine rush right to his head, before exhaling out towards the room away from Meokair and her child. "So tell me a little abotu yoursefl i am quite curious, though i may not act liek it at times, for my lack of emotion and interest i apoligize....i just always have lost on my mind" he reaches for his glass and takes another sip from it, makign that same nasty face as before. He takes another hit from his smoke. Looking over Meokair more closely now, tryign to hide the fact that he was kind of staring, but he wasn't beign a typical male and lookign at her netherregions he was infact looked every palce but those that he could see.

Flash_Guardian glances back at Devaine, his own stomach rumbling at the thought of food. "Hey, that's not a bad idea ... whaddaya say we both raid that well-stocked kitchen, eh?" he says, looking mischievous.

Gorwyn wandered from some unseen perch, his footfalls heavy and deliberate as he made his way closer to where Lox and flash conversed, eyes alighting on them briefly as some decision was made, he half turned though and sat abruptly down upon a stool , reaching within his coat to procure a slice of some food or other, dried meat one might suppose. chewing thoughtfully and yet all the time listening intently to all about him but his main attention focused upon the two. This talk of Knights intrigued him... indeed it did.

Devaine_Hawk grins and looks over to Jesse , “got the makings for a big old kettle of authentic Texas chili , see how tough these folk realy are ?”

LoX glances back over at both Flash and Devaine, a broad grin on his face. "Welcome aboard, gentlemen. I know I don't have to tell you this, Dev...this is more for the benefit of Flash...but any of the information I just shared is extremely sensitive to Keep security. Keep it to yourselves at all costs."

Miranda narrows her eyes, ticking her head to the otherside, the smell of chocolate enough to have her dancing in leaping, loping circles on the spot, chittering wildly with a grin, edging closer with an arm outstretched, the focus long forgotten as memory brings manners, all be it grudgingly "P-l-eeeese?" She finds the word difficult, her voice stumbling over it

The Stranger grisn looking over to LoX "Yeah no one will ever see or hear my security cameras either bro" he looks away chuckling

Flash_Guardian nods at LoX, looking very serious. "You have my word as an avatar ... and as your student, of course," he says professionally, though inside he is rather hopeful and excited.

The Stranger looks over to S'gos and blows a mouth full of smoek at the man. "Can't you see we are busy here, engaged i na conversation" he points to the other side of the bar. "Besides you bother me and i don't like you"

Devaine_Hawk taps his skull and grins at LoX ,”you don’t have to tell me about high security , Mr .top secret project , could tell people , but have to kill them him self here”

S\'gos would close his eye's at the smoke then reopen them.."Excusse me sir but I never asked to hold her baby I asked if I could sit down next to the Lady"..

Meokair hadn't even noticed the man asking her a question. She had been to busy gazing off into her sons greyish blue hues. Looking up as Jesse spoke she saw the man and jumped slightly as she fidgeted. She didn't like being startled and it could be seen as her wings fluttered open quickly and curled around her and the child. bneing wrapped in a cocoon she shivers and holds onto her child closely

LoX winks one warm blue eye at the woman and nods. "For you." This time, it's verbally, the smile never leaving his face for a moment, his hand still outstretched to her. "You're welcome." A laugh issues forth at her before his attetnion briefly shifts back to Flash and Dev. "Excellent. Team Desperado is re-assembling!"

Gorwyn raised a hand to rub at the coarse stubble upon his jaw, he finished what little food he had begun on and turned fully round to watch Lox and his companions openly. arms folded lightly across his chest and boots resting upon the floor. breathing lightly, making little other sound

Flash_Guardian shoots his teacher a weird look. "You've gotta be kidding me. Team Desperado?" he asks. He likes the name, just wonders who on earth came up with it.

Miranda darts forward, far too quick for normal movement, a blink and she's back under a table, feasting on the bounty of the candy, not careful, just greedy, she'd been banned from candy for a good reason as is soon apparant, the chittering faster, her movements almost erratic as she leaps onto the table between LoX and the others, poking his pockets with sharp, dirty nails "Mo-oore? P-l-ee-se?"

S\'gos would now look at the man nodding "If that is what you whant sir I shall leave you and the Lady be.For I am just a lonely guy who whanted to talk".He would then pull his Bamboo Stick out and put it in his righ hand and then leen it over the counter super fast snacting a beer or two then he would be on his way to sit down..

Devaine_Hawk feels the tension growing in the room and crosses his arms under his jacket , “Team Desperado? Huh. Oh yeah , any of you all know how to teach a guy to use these swords and axes and the like every one around here seems so fond of?’ he asks trying to keeping eye on the man Jesse was arguing with and the one over at the bar , as the blue white flashes speed up in his eyes again.

Flash_Guardian shakes his head at Devaine. "Can't really help you there, Dev. My expertise revolves around these," he explains, tapping a hand to his fist, "and those." He bends his knee and points to his ninja boot clad feet, grinning. "Though I do have some training in the more basic or exotic weapons, if you like." He shrugs in his offer.

LoX 's eyes flit closed for a moment, then re-open, yet another chocolate bar materializing in his hand, soon outstretched to her. "You're still welcome." The free hand suddenly points to himself. "LoX." Then it points at her, the hand twisting open, gesturing that he's clueless.

LoX glances over at Devaine and grins. "Swords? I could ask Janus....but I'll warn you, you will get hurt if you train with him."

Gorwyn had now gained a smile, the grin crept gradually across his face but still he said nothing, his attention firmly placed upon the trio, very rarely moving from them but when it did it was to the girl, the rather feral acting one. Another curious note to this place, but then again... from what he'd already seen, nothing overly out of the ordinairy. He rubbed lightly at the back of his neck before replacing his hands over his chest. and at the mention of swords he chuckled lowly

S\'gos is kindly waiting for a post about his move he made

Meokair continued to shake as she curled up in the booth whimpering softly. Remaining within the shelter of her wings she trembled holding Gareth to her as his cries pierced the air in the bar/tavern.

Devaine_Hawk nods to LoX , “better than getting killed by some barbarian with a big sharp stick , “ before turning back to Jesse , “we gonna make some Texas chili for the nice folk or what ?” he asks

Miranda purrs at the chcocolate, her fingers unwrapping it at phenominal speed, it gone een quicker, it seems like most children the woman can inhale candy, speaking with her mouth open as she chews "My-rian-Da" It's obviously been spoken her a lot, as when she say it, she adopts a deep, chiding tone, her finger waggling in reprimand

Flash_Guardian just shrugs again. "Guess I'd better get in the kitchen before you two start messing it up," he says, casting a joking glance to Devaine and Jesse before heading out that way. Chili was nice, but not for everyone. Maybe he could make up some sandwiches or something ...

The Stranger pays no real attention to S'gos since he is not pestering anyone, he looks back over to Meokair and smiles softly "Nothing to be afriad of here"

LoX chuckles once and nods, though his eyes are still riveted on the woman. "True....but...Janus is odd. He's only interested in perfecting his skills with either the blade or....Gun-Fu, as he calls it...and he trains relentlessly and constantly, always trying to perfect his arts, in search for the 'Perfect Kill' and a challenging battle. It will be hard to convince him."

Meokair couldn't hear Jesse's words as Gareth was wailing as she held him. She was shaking and trembling as she whimpered. She had been snuck up and hurt quite a fe times and this petrified her

LoX grins widely at the woman and begins to laugh. "My-Rain, Duh? Or perhaps, it's My Rain, Duh." There's a teasing quality in his voice which should be unmistakeable for most people, this one, might not take it so well. Perhaps he would do well to remember that.

Devaine_Hawk tries to shoulder his way past Flash to the kitchen , and pulls a large kettle down off a shelf , pouring water in it he places it on a range and starts to search for ingredients ,calling over his shoulder to LoX . “gun fu ? If that has anything to do with guns , maybe ewe can teach each other or something”

S\'gos would take the beer off of the Bamboo Stick and head toward a table and sit down hearing the lady cry and the baby cry he would say something to her telopatcly. "Ma'm im very sorry to sturtly you like that I did not mean no harm what so ever"He would say then grab the beer and take a nice slow drink of the beer..

LoX shakes his head at Devaine and waves a hand idly. "It does and doesn't. It's the art of using both sword and gun, simultaneously. Something like that."

Gorwyn again swivelled round upon the stool, feeling that most of the conversation had exhausted itself, he glanced about for a barkeep and his brow rose in irritation, reaching over he grasped blindly at a bottle, pulled it up and "Gah"... with a sigh he laid the brandy upon the bartop "Not quite what i sought but nevertheless.." he reached down again to grasp a glass, half filling it "It will at least keep out the chill" he chuckled quietly to himself

Flash_Guardian quickly gets to work in the kitchen in the other room. Flash quickly hangs up his cape and trades it in for an apron, looking like some sort of samurai chef. Rather ridiculous. He quickly raids the fridge, searching for vegetables, sauces, and other condiments, setting out whatever he can find. "You just gotta go with something that fits your style, Devaine," he comments, setting a jar of presliced pickles on the counter. "There's lots of weapons to choose from, and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Choose the one that's right for you."

Miranda ticks her head to the side, in that questioning way of hers, obviously not recognising the verbal humor, fingers press to her chest as she nods, her tone slow and cuatious, in case the man was stupid "Mi-ran-da." Just to be clear, but by now she was practically pulsing with energy, twitches, and shivers running riot, little psionic hiccups flashing in her eyes.

Devaine_Hawk nods as he pulls several spices off a rack and applies large quantity’s of each before adding a gallon of tomatoes soup to the kettle and starts to search for peppers and onions ,”even better”

LoX merely laughs once again and nods, in order to show his comprehension. One hand points at her, "Mi-ran-da." Then it points back to himself, a broad smile on his lips. "LoX."

Flash_Guardian manages to find a cutting board and ginsu knife, his face lighting up with devious glee. One by one, he begins to dice the vegetables, his knife clicking rapidly against the surface of the board, sounding rather like a child's machine gun toy.

S\'gos would take his Bamboo stick and swing it super fast then he would lift it with a spin then swing it downwards at the table brecking it inhalf..He would then get up and start to walk out like nothing happen he would be saying "Damn ass rude bartender blowing smoke in my eye's for nothing"

Miranda gives it a try "Loooooooo-Exe" She was proud of herself, hands clapping together with a serious of chittering chirrups. The knife though unsettles her, that repetitive sound unnatural and she sratches nails deep into the table in protest, eyes widening.

Devaine_Hawk finds a ginsu knife and starts to chop the onion and peppers before tossing them in the kettle to simmer and turns to a meat locker for some beef . “that’s all well and good , Flash , but I already know guns , hand to hand and here lately I even seem to have a little mojo of my own ,”he taps his head ,”but I think a true warrior learns all he can , knowledge is power , as some one told me once.”

LoX glances towards the idiot breaking up the place, then merely closes his eyes, picturing the whole table in his mind's eye, then focuses. The table knits itself back together in a few short moments and a satisfied grin slips onto his lips. Work well done. Eyes quickly flit back to the woman, a warm smile affixed to his lips at this point, his hands clapping lightly. "Good! LoX. Very Good." Of course, this sudden change in her would bring his attention. "Food. Cooking. Don't be afraid."

Gorwyn turned slowly, glass halfway to his mouth and raised a single brow at the chap who was fond of making a spectacle of himself, he scoffed, sipped the liquid and turned away again. he gained a mischevious smile, reached out to pluck a small fruit from a bowl , turned quickly and hefted it through the air at S'Gos, before turning away again swiftly

S\'gos would turn around to cacth the tabler be magicaly fix he would grin and walk up to the man who fixed the table and leap into the air and come stright and hard down spining his Bamboo stick attepting to hit his head hard and fast

Flash_Guardian starts flinging vegetables in the air, making a show of it all. "Sooh!" he cries, throwing a green pepper up a foot or two and slicing through it cleanly while it's still in midair. Clak-lak-lak-lak-lak .... more diced tomatoes. "A very wise person, that one," he comments, reaching next for a head of lettuce.

Miranda 's kinda in the way of that, and will attempt, should she have the time lest LoX acts to leap and catch it, the psion fierce and strong, all that pent up enegry released in a flash as she goes for the aggressor, nails as claws, feet wild...all in all unless she's stopped she's going to be a pouncing wild cat, in a feral rage

Devaine_Hawk meads and breaks the hamburger with his hands tossing it in the kettle with the rest and heads for the bar , “gotta get my secret ingredient “ He walks back out in the bar room in time to see a table fix it self , fruit sail past and some idiot swinging a stick at Lox ,”geeze ,, leave the room for a couple a minutes…”

LoX merely sends a mental wall up between his attacker and himself, a sudden shield placed deep within his mind's eye...of course, this man's intent was known long before he made the action....after all. LoX's a telepath. Within the blink of an eye, the air around his fingertips would simply curdle and distort, a quick shockwave of telekinetics blasted from his head and minds-eye as well. He was gonna be feeling it later, but this was merely fun to him. A static crackle emanates from his form for a moment.

Gorwyn is merely an unremarked fruit thrower.... *sighs*

Flash_Guardian finishes with his last cucumber, wiping the sweat from his forehead and moving over to see what Devaine is looking at. "What's going on?" he says, looking back out into the common room. "Oh."

S\'gos would hit the wall face first then get sent flying toward the wall by the lady..he would hit the wall back first and then he would get up and warp himself off and smile and walk back toward the one he attacked and bowed to him showing he had honer for his power..

Miranda 's still going for the attacker, like a badly trained gaurd dog, the woman hissing and spitting

Gorwyn rose from his seat, insticntively reaching to his back, where...there was nothing, the guilt and pain hit him again and he closed his eyes, slowly turning again to retake his seat and leave them all to it.

Devaine_Hawk picks up a bottle of Jack in one hand and an empty beer bottle in the other ,spinning the empty bottle in his hand to grip it by the neck , and starts toward the drow from behind , swinging the bottle at the back of his head . If it hit he’d whisper welcome to Texas “

Miranda 's just letting S'Gos know she hasn't changed her actions, after LoXie's post

S\'gos could feel the air chang he would duck very fast and spin his Bamboo stick at his leg's in a fast and Trained attempted to leg sweep him with the Bamboo Stick ((Note:Sice you lunced a attack and I just duck and quickly spent my Bamboo stick at your leg's it should hit))

Flash_Guardian watches the conflict in interest, especially the telekinetic attacks of his sensei. Reminding himself to never willingly pick a fight with LoX, he walks back into the kitchen, feeling that between them all they would have it under control out there. Now who was going to watch the chili?

Miranda pounced from a table top, so would be attacking from above...the stick was coming for her head, so it would be hard to change the angle to throw her off like that. And she is making a second, third, and forth attack rather simultaneously...That's kinda the point of a raging clawing woman...she doesn't stop..any oppurtunity to draw blood. Even with an ankle snapped at by the cane.

Gorwyn grumbled under his breath, cursing himself for actions long past before again rising from hsi seat, he cast a rather tired glance at the one with the stick and shook his head sighing before moving towards the kitchen area. He cleared his throat, forced a smile and began to speak " Wouldnt happen to be enough of o that thick soup for a weary traveller?"

LoX stands first, then levitates slowly into the air, his form suddenly akin to an Angel's, as pure wings of energy sprout from his back, outlined in golden lightning. Perhaps this would give his attacker a clue about just who he had decided to match himself against. He stops immediately at the bow, though it seems strange to behave honorably after his actions were not so. "Stop! All of you! Now!" His voice radiates with the sudden power and authority of a God, though no deity is he. Suddenly, he splits into a Mirror Image, Six copies of himself suddenly made, each one with stern visage. An Army Of One, indeed.

Miranda 's too busy going for the jugular to even look back, badly trained guard dog indeed, well that and focused.

Flash_Guardian shrugs to the gentleman. "I'm sure there will be ... or if the chili's too much for you, I'm working on some sandwich fixings," Flash says, amidst the sounds of combat outside. And then he hears his master speak, his eyes going wide once more, his ears listening closely.

S\'gos would do a backflip useing his stick he would then duck down and say "Ventasy"His whole body was now cover by a very powerfull magical Shield..That can not normaly be brocken..

Devaine_Hawk feels a tickle in the back of his mind , and just knows the stick is coming , lifting his right foot about 3 inches off the floor. He stomps back down with the boot hard hoping to catch the bamboo shaft between it and the floor snapping it , as he pushes him self higher in the air with a left legged leap and tries to bring his left knee back down on the drowsed.

Turin is just in the door way, his face akin to the angry wizard about to tell off a certain cartoon mouse in Fantasia. "Miranda!" The voice booms, knuckles white around the gently humming stave.

Gorwyn 's smiled broadened "I am sure your... Chilly will be sufficient..." he leant back against the doorframe, still mindful of the commotion but bound by whatever reason to remain away from it.

Miranda 's not even gonna ask how you backflip with a wild woman clawing you, but it's not an issue right now. No Siree, that voice has her pressed to the floor like a pentient sinner, shivering and looking at the cracks in the wood.

LoX 's form crackles with the sudden energy of an oncoming storm, quick and wrathful, each version of him leaping into the air as he murmurs a few lines in a low tone, his mind focusing on a single point, then hammering at S'gos in a way that no shield can stop. From the past, directly at his mind, as Recall Agony attempts to take effect. Once felt, each moment of forgotten....nevermind. Eyerolls...this is pointless.

Flash_Guardian stirs the chili once for good measure, checking the heat setting. Afterward, he hears the commotion continue, slamming his knife back onto the board and making for the kitchen door once more. "Excuse me," he says in polite aggravation, trying to see around the man in the doorway.

Turin moves forward the leather hood removed to reveal a perfectly bald head, eyes locked on that same individual as before. A chair pulls itself out and settles behind her. "Sit down."

Devaine_Hawk watches the flip and grins teach you to turn your back to me , “he thinks , as he taps his left boot tip against the right , a 4 inch stiletto blade springs out and he kicks at the drows back with the bladed boot

Gorwyn steps lightly aside to afford flash a better view, closing hiseyes though he tried to remain passive aginst all aroudn him, unable to act in this parody of combat

Miranda frowns, rebellion on her lips, held just in check. She's still a shivering mass of energy, tigger on Red Bull, looking set to circle the ceiling as she clambering into the chair, sat on her feet.

[Turin] "Properly." A school teacher correcting his pupil, fingers curling over her shoulder. "Sit down."

Miranda chitters, under her breath at least, frown deepening. The bruise on her ankle healing away already as she lets long legs dangle over the chair, that lovely new dress now a filthy ripped mess

[Turin] "Now look at your dress." A small tut tut tone to his voice. "What happened here?"

LoX merely alights back to his feet gracefully, wings crackling once as they simply dissipate to nothingness. All previous versions of himself are drawn like shadows back to the actual Psion himself before he almost drops into his chair, a few beads of sweat on his brow from the raw energy he'd just exerted. "Flash? Be a mate and snag me somethin' cold?"

MoonWolf would Phase back into the Stallion then Re-Phase right by Flash in the Kitchen tugging on his paint's leg..

Flash_Guardian squeezes through the doorway, searching for something behind the bar. "Sure thing, sensei." He searches around the bar, eventually pulling a bottle of juice out of the cooler beneath the bar. His leg is tugged, and he looks down at MoonWolf. "Back now, are we? Wanna wait for me in the kitchen?" he asks.

Miranda fidgets with the skin under her nails, not her own, using her teeth to clean under them, and spitting the little flecks to the floor. Another serious of low, fast chitters.

Devaine_Hawk uses the heel of the left boot to shove the blade on the right back into it’s secret compartment as he starts back to the kitchen , looking to Flash ,and the other man ,”you guys wait out here minute , got to put in the best part before it’s done “ he laughs ,”secret ingredient ,” as he walks back to the kettle the bottle of Jack still in his hand.

[Turin] "Speak up and speak properly."

Gorwyn nodded in affirmation to Devaine, promptly leaving the kitchen to stand close to the bar once more.

MoonWolf would nod his head at Flash..

Miranda heaves a sigh, shivering before she speaks, around her thumb, chewing on the nail "Park..."

[Turin] "What happened here?"

Miranda glances to the blue haired man, her eyes a little pleading "Loooooo-Exe"

Flash_Guardian eyes that bottle of Jack Daniels suspiciously. Focussing, he directs the hand holding the juice over at LoX's table. The bottle leaves his hand, floating out towards his teacher, his fingers glowing slightly white and curled as if still grasping it. Once the juice is over the table, he lowers his hand, setting the bottle in front of his mentor easily, then walks back into the kitchen.

LoX blinks at his pupil and nods in appreciation before popping it open and taking a long drink. "Excellent. You're a lifesaver, kiddo."

[Turin] "Speak properly, Miranda, or no park."

Devaine_Hawk glances over his shoulder to make sure no one is watching , and opens the bottle of Jack , and pours it in ,then stirring for a bit before lowering the heat to let the chili simmer” ready in about three minutes “ he calls out to the bar.

Miranda isn't happy, fidgetting on the chair, so full of energy as to make the enforced stillness near painful. Pent up, and knowing she's been caught, petulant though lips stumbling a little "LoX, Candy!"

MoonWolf would wait for Flash to come back..

[Turin] "Full sentences." He's looked up maybe once to see this 'Loxe'.

LoX overhears his name and turns to regard Miranda, a quick smile on his face at her and her new companion both, a quick incline of his head. "Thank you for your help, Miranda. I'm sorry that you got hurt."

Miranda still doesn't like this means of communication, always an uphill struggle at best, she fidgets in the chair, bare feet on the floor, drumming "Loxgavecandymiranda."

Flash_Guardian walks back over to his cutting board, checking out his work and nodding. That was enough condiments. Now for the rest, as he begins searching some cupboards for bread. Sure enough, one contains a whole two loaves of white and wheat bread. "Bingo." Glancing back down to MoonWolf, he carries the bread over to the counter and sets it down. "Look, Wolfy," he says. "We're gonna need to work on your public appearances here. I mean, if you're gonna pass for a normal wolf, that is."

[Turin] "Slowly."

Devaine_Hawk searches the pantry for spoons ,bowels and crackers while he lets the chili finish . “come nad get it !” he calls out the kitchen door.

Gorwyn glanced from his standing point near the door to the wolf, again abrief flash of memoryerupted and he grimaced witht he effort of pushing it back, not all were the same he told himself, he hoped no longer their kind roamed this land, this wolf was not of their Ilk and he would act against it not. He coughed again and turned to regard Flash " so... you are a chef in these parts?" he said awkwardly again trying to sound more like one of the locals

[MoonWolf] Would nod and and speck softly saying to Flash "I know I dont look normal..And Why you calling me Wolfy?is this my new name?"he would ask..

Miranda shoots a look to send daggers at the tall man "LoXe gave candy Miranda."

[Turin] "Much better. Now, why were you fighting?"

Flash_Guardian does likewise, calling to those out in the commons. "Soup and sandwiches! Get 'em while they're hot, folks!" He quickly pops a bit of cucumber to munch on, then grabs a block of cheese and a slicer to cut some slices of cheddar. "Well, it certainly is less conspicuous than MoonWolf, isn't it?" he says softly, chuckling. "And don't worry, I have an idea to help you blend in better. We can work on that later."

Miranda glances to LoX again, a flash of that contact sought, another bite to get attention, untrained but demanding attention, her eyes narrowed in focus

natasel sees Miranda biting LoX.....kinky.

[Turin] "Miranda, pay attention."

natasel hands LoX a crowbar.

LoX answers that bite with a calm touch, a brief caress of minds before he severs that link. He was simply a little too worn to maintain it for much longer.

Miranda uses the moment of connection to tunr his focus to the question, not wanting to answer it herself. Eyes fly back to Turin's face as she's caught out, an expression that a cherub would be porud of upon her filthy features

[Turin] "What happened?"

Gorwyn stands unanswered and breaks off to walk to the kitchen " food?" he asked questioningly as he eyed the pot hungrily

Flash_Guardian grins at Devaine, looking into the pot gleefully. "How'd it turn out?" he asks, letting the scent of wonderful food fill his nostrils.

LoX stands, then makes his way over to both Miranda and the man she's with. "I was attacked by a rather unpleasant individual, who was quite rude and attempted to sucker-punch me. Miranda helped."

Devaine_Hawk takes a bowl for him self and carries I back to LoX’s table stopping to get another bottle of Heineken from the bar , and turns his chair to face the table like a grown man should sit. He puts the bowl on the table and rumbles crackers in his chili before taking the first spoon full “good.” he states , watching the others.

Miranda leans, careful to still sit in the chair, riffling LoX's pockets for candy as he speaks.

Turin holds up a finger, imploring LoX to be silent for the moment. Not a rude gesture, or at least not meant as one. "Miranda, sit straight, hands at your side."

Flash_Guardian calls back to Gorwyn, already in the process of making himself a sandwich. "Well, nobody else seems to be eating, so help yourself," he offers, squirting a long string of ketchup over his bread.

Miranda purses her lips, the imposed stillness rallied against, one final poke at a pocket before the weight of his gaze has her sat back in the chair, a poise to be the envy of elocution teachers, but her face is screwed up at it.

Gorwyn moved swiftly towards the pot, reachign up to grab himself a large bowl of his own in whichhe ladled some of the meat mixture. he sniffed it curiousley, grabbed a spoon and turned back towards the bar, steaming chili in hand " May I enquire as to what it is?"

[Turin] "Good girl." A rewarding touch to shoulder, gentle and soft as can be. Now he looks to LoX. "I see, and that matter was dealt with?"

Devaine_Hawk nods to the man over by the kettle ,”Genuine Texas chili , friend , enjoy”

Miranda beams, easily settled by the praise, her cheek nuzzling at the hand with a series of low purrs. Eyes from Turin to LoX in turn.

natasel wonders what would happen if Miranda gets her hands on sugar and shakes his head to clear away the horrifying image of her on a sugar rush.

Flash_Guardian shakes his head, placing the final layer of bread on top of his monumentous sandwich. My goodness, what didn't Flash put on there? "Yup, Texas chili," Flash announces with some dramatic flair. "If you wanna know more, ask Devaine there," Flash says, walking out with his sandwich and seating himself at Kazuya's table, eagerly digging in with a huge bite.

Devaine_Hawk looks to all the people without bowls , “what you al not like my cookin?”

Gorwyn nodded "Thank you friend" he moved fowards, aking a seat by the bar once more, the Chili was set down and a cold bottle of...something gathered from behind the counter, popped the lid, took a swig and a heavily laden spoonful of the mixture was brought to his mouth. a few minute slater he began to breathe again and his face started to cool, he turned and nodded silently to Devaine

LoX merely shifts his weight a little bit, one hand idly slipping back to rub the back of his neck. "Of course it was. One drow against a barful of us...well...it was no contest." Not a word is mentioned at his own displays of power. "However, I find I must be heading home. My fiancee will probably be worried sick by now. Guys?! Take it easy and I'll be 'round later! Try not to get into too much more trouble!" This to Flash and Devaine.

natasel is not a fan of food that would give him a taste of the fires f hell.

Flash_Guardian cannot answer LoX verbally, as his mouth is full of tasty sandwich, so he just nods in farewell.

Turin gives a simple nod and returns his attentions to Miranda, thumb stroking her cheek as calming thoughts are implanted. So easy with those untrained. "Miranda, are you hurt?"

Devaine_Hawk watches the reaction of the man as he takes a swig of beer and shovels more of his own chili in , not batting an eye as he nods back, “welcome , see ya round LoX “

Miranda holds up her dirt strewn ankle, a little cut along with a vivid bruise on the bone, but it was slightly faded already. "Owies..." Yeah she knows that word okay, big eyes to Turin, blinking back a sugar-crash yawn. The girl metabolised fast.

natasel is actually tempted to slip Miranda some grog, but isn't quite sure what sort of drunk she'd be.

Flash_Guardian turns his attentions to the robed man and wild woman, watching the pair with interest and swallowing.

Devaine_Hawk finishes the chili and beer before turning to Flash , “us get in trouble , never”

Gorwyn contineus to silently shovel in the chilli, having not eaten for a while gives you the kinda appetite that would make you eat hot coals... he smiled still though sweat beaded on his forehead.

Flash_Guardian takes another bite of sandwich, winking at Devaine. Hard to tell with his chewing, but you'd swear he's grinning.

[Turin] "Come back to the ship." A hand extended.

natasel goes off to create an altar to the Dork Gods, creating (and consuming) the eldrich beverages such as Mango-Guava floats and the Pink Lemonade and Eggnog to call for the spirits of Dorkness.

Gorwyn stopped dead, mid chew, he turned slowly an dhis eyes regarded Turin with more than obvious suspicion, and a low growl began in his throat. uite a feat conidering hes got a mouth full of food.

Devaine_Hawk watches the man at the bar as he eats “gotta give it to you mister ,it takes a tough hombre to put away my chili like that , might be tougher than Flash here, how you hold booze ?”

Flash_Guardian tilts his head at the robed, bald man, swallowing once more. "Hey, if she's hungry, we've got some food prepared. Sandwiches, chili," Flash says with care, nodding toward the kitchen. "You can have some too, if you'd like."

Miranda 's quiet, a little chirrup and a nod as her hand, muddy but gentle slips into his, the urge to scitter strong

Gorwyn 's attention was broken by Devaines words, he turned slowly, offering another weak smile " Its is no easy task, this Chilly, it scorches the palette. " he took another long draught of the beer " Indeed... but what is this booze you speak of?"

Turin leads her out in near silence.

Devaine_Hawk nudges Flash with his elbow “she can have the sandwich but she don’t need any of that chili ,too young”

Flash_Guardian looks wide eyed at Gorwyn, then back to Devaine, eyes twinkling. "Oh, I like him," he says, flicking a thumb at Gorwyn.

Flash_Guardian watches the odd couple leave. Interesting. "Yeah, you're probably right, Dev," he says, chomping away at his sandwich hungrily.

Devaine_Hawk covers his eyes and groans , “not another boy scout…..getin to where me and Lox are the only alpha males left in our little bingo committee”

Gorwyn looked blankly between the two of them, still yet another mouthful of the meat was devoured and as he chewed he spoke to them again "...very good..yes" more chewing stilla nd once finished he turned to them again "I would ask a question of you both, but, I do not wish to seem... out of bounds, nor do I wish to seem rude. may I speak freely?"
