MobaFire Tavern

[quote=jhoijhoi]Jhoi lost interest in the Banana when he put his gold away. Thus the whole debacle with the coffin and the pallbearers didn't interest her in the slightest; the Tavern often served dead or dying people their last slurps of their desired poison. What did interest her was soft glow coming off a warrior's arm and the somewhat scaly body guard seated close by. She tilted her cowboy hat in their direction, winking at the same time.[/quote]

[quote=Electro522]"Its about time that insane banana shut up. Was about to make him join his son." "I would have joined you." Saying that, the bartender poured another shot of whiskey. "Whats your name, son? I dont believe Ive seen you around here." "Im Electro. Was just making my way through town, stopped to have a drink, and ended up in the middle of one of the strangest situations Ive ever seen. Did that kid seriously die from just waiting?" "Yup. Or, at least it seemed like it to me. Its a shame too. He was fine just last night." "Hes been dead for less then a day?" "Seems like it. I dont really care if people sleep here over night, as long as they pay the following morning. I left for home last night, and there he was passed out on his table. Although, he could have been dead already at that point." "You didnt happen to check if he was still alive?" "Hell, no! Have you ever tried to wake up a drunk man? Ive tried that far too many times in the past, with very little success. I eventually just quit trying. Saves me the stress, and even makes me more money." "Alright, point taken." Electro downed another shot, and thought for a little bit. "You know, Ive done a little detective work in the past. Maybe Ill come to the funeral tomorrow, and see if its possible to find someone who may have had a hand in this kids death. I find it very hard to believe that someone can die from [i]waiting[/i]." "Good luck with that. People can die from the strangest things around here." "Well, considering we have talking bananas, and a woman that could potentially smell money, and seems to have an odd crush on that crocidile back there, I believe you whole heartedly on that."[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Suddenly the Tavern went black as all the lights seemed to flicker out, within a few seconds they were all lit, and a Lone Ninja was seen sitting in the middle of the Tavern at one of it's tables. "Sorry for the flashy entrance, I just like making a scene, I am a Ninja by the way" the Bar tender looked confused as well as everyone else in the Tavern. "The name is Ninja Trigger and I never miss" throwing a dart with some money attached it landed right between two bottles of Vodka on the shelf behind the Bar tender "Pour a shot for everyone in the Tavern, and two for the crazy banana, one for him and his recently deceased son" pulling out a deck of cards the lone Ninja sat there shuffling his cards in a Vegas show display of expertise "If anyone want's to play, come and play I don't have all day"[/quote]

[quote=Electro522]"A ninja?!?!? And not just any ninja, a ninja that plays poker, and drinks vodka! You have got to be kidding me!!!" "I told you! Strange things happen in this town." The bartender turned to start pouring the vodka. "Well, Mr. Trigger, I would love to play a game with you, but I have an awful poker face. Tell me, what is a ninja doing all the way out here? I figured you guys enjoyed your little island you call Japan."[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]"Well it's kinda of a funny story, I was simply kicked out of my clan because I prefer Vodka over Sake. I also kinda of ran over my Master with a jet ski, long story" Ninja Trigger downs his drink and ask's for another "Anyway since then I have decided to seek my fortune going from salon, bar, and tavern playing poker I never loose" Ninja Trigger began dealing cards out to himself and Elcetro, and the two empty seats at the table. "You fair Lady with the hat you look like you would like to join come on and play a hand or two, it may just be your lucky day" "you as well lady with the tattoo I see you in the shadow's maybe a game and a drink will help you relax"[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=jhoijhoi]What did interest her was soft glow coming off a warrior's arm and the somewhat scaly body guard seated close by. She tilted her cowboy hat in their direction, winking at the same time.[/quote]The warrior stiffened and gave the woman a troubled look, but did nothing. Her companion also gazed over with dull yellow eyes, eyes the color of dead things, that seemed to see through her into her very soul. He turned to the warrior and gave her a nod shortly after. She seemed to relax at this, but didn't remove her hood.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Jhoi glanced at the dealt hand and gave the ninja a quick grin, "I'm in, if there's money involved." She tipped her head in the direction of the dart loaded with paper money, "And it sure looks like it." The woman got up from her stool at the bar and sashayed past the reptile and his warrior. She snuck a peek at the tense warrior's arm - ah, the glow was actually rising from her skin... some type of moving tattoo, interesting. Was it cursed? Enscrolled? She couldn't quite make out the pattern or design. She swiveled on the heels of her leather boots and leaned in close, such that the tips of her auburn hair brushed against the warrior's shoulder and her cowboy hat blocked the scaly one from view. Her voice was soft and warm against the unknown woman's cheek when she said, "Hypnotising."[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]The warrior flinched as the the woman only got closer and the swirling pattern on her arm writhed. Within its snakelike coils there was an array of symbols. The warrior shivered at the breath on her cheek and hid her arm under her cloak after a long moment. For some reason the scents of brimstone and baking ham filled the air. Her companion stood and signed something at this new person with his clawed hands, quickly and forcefully, signs that seemed rather odd and foreign.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Jhoi, alerted to the reptile's sudden movements by the sound of the chair crashing to the floor, jerked quickly backwards. She wasn't sure what to expect, but the scaly companion gesturing with his curved talons was the last thing she expected to see. It's previously dead-eyed stare seemed to be stern now, protective maybe. "Huh," she said, leaning on the back of the warrior's chair by her elbows, "What's repto-boy sayin'?"[/quote]

[quote=Electro522]"Welp, I think if we continue to wait for treasure hunter cowgirl, and that crocidile duo to sort out their love triangle, we might be here all day Trigger. Hey, are you a crocidile?" The reptilian bodyguard simply snarled at Electro. "What? I was just asking a question! Geez, you two ought to lighten up!" Electro looked at his dealt hand of cards, and then back at the ninja. "So, what do you say Trigger? Shall we begin?" OOC: One question; how are we supposed to play a poker game in a narrative written by several people? Also (ok, two questions), is it against the rules to control a made up character (except the bartender) that we did not create, such as Charles, or the bodyguard?[/quote]
