Mikhail Xudriess ​

NeramoDJI Maverick Six

Mikhail would pick his head up with a grin as Zeke announced himself as the captain. “Come have a seat Zeke, let’s have a chat.” The elf smiled, he would turn back to the bartender as he dropped more coins on the wooden table.

“A drink for my friend here.”

He would turn back to Zeke, sizing him up briefly. He seemed pretty young to be a captain, his age couldn’t be that much apart from his crew members. Honestly it made Mikhail question the legitimacy of this group.

“I’m going to cut to the chase here Zeke. Your crew seems like some good company and I’m not talking about their looks incase you’re wondering. You guys seem like a fledgling crew, hell, I never heard of you or seen you in my life.” Mikhail would take a swig of booze as he cleared his throat.

“I’m a dead man walking Zeke, you hear me? Before I succumb to that bitch known as fate. I want to go out with a bang. I don’t know why exactly your crew wants to purchase stock in you but I’m curious to find out why you seem to give all them a second wind. Let me join your crew, I promise you won’t regret it. ” Mikhail would down the rest of his drink as he slammed it onto the table.

“Another one.” He would call for the bartender as he slammed more coins on the table.

Silverdale, Savory Spittoon (Outside)

Characters: Yabani, Raia, Izzy​

Raia inhaled to take in the sweet scene of the food which Yabani had carefully prepared. But unintentionally, she gained slightly more information than what she might have truthfully known what to do with.

Spoiler: Results from Raia's Heightened Sense: Smell F

From what Raia could gather, someone who was near-by was not what they had seemed. While everyone near her might have looked human, one person smelled akin to a beast. Anyone could have any number of reasons to hide who they are. And it would ultimately be left up to Raia as to what she did with this information, if anything at all.

She could also smell Yabani's cooking, obviously! The scent was that of someone who could cook a rather pleasing meal. Not a master chef by any means but above average.

"Huh." Blondie said, scratching his head. "Guess someone's spreading rumors, ya know." He said, looking around for the person who told him the falsehood that Yabani was selling his things. But no such person appeared to be within eyeshot. With that, the man shrugged and simply walked away. As Izzy approached.

After a few moments, both would feel an odd sensation sweeping over them. It was about the same sensation that others were feeling. It felt hard to pinpoint what is and what it's nature was. All that one could tell was that something was wrong. Whether or not to act on this impulse was ultimately up to each individual. [D Grade Challenge....]

Characters: Zeke and Stella, Pamela, Mikhail

Pamela (Duh)

​

Free Bird (Harp)

"It's goin' on you're tab." The bartender mention to Mikhail.

There was a lot in what Mikhail said that she agreed with. Trust was valuable, especially in a place-like-this, ripe with so much betrayal that it was a bit of a wonder that things were standing. The way she saw it, the difference between petty thugs and folk who had it so made as to establish networks of smuggling and intel was one thing: Trust. They could trust eachother enough to have one another's backs and needed no contracts. No laws. No feds. It was either trust, the threat of violence or a combination of the two. She couldn't help but nod at least a little bit as Mikhail spoke.

There was a bit of baggage attached to him, but she couldn't complain. It felt almost hypocritical to complain about that. "Baggage, huh?" She mentioned. "Man you got a way with words." Just as Pam takes another sip of rum and cola, she finds quietly coughes to herself, choking for a second.

Something had felt wrong. [D-Grade Challenge......] There was really no other way to put it. Her instincts were alerting her to something. But what that something was. Pam's ears perked up. And she tried to inhale. There was a myriad of scents and conversations about the room. Thus it was that she stared about -- ears perked and eyes flicking about. Her mind detached a bit from the conversation at hand, though she didn't appear frantic. Only cautious.

Looking at the others in the room, it seemed as though there wasn't anyone else who reacted outside of Barden. As he sat at the table, contently both waiting for his meal and passively absorbing all information present, he began to look around himself. He scratched the top of his head. Everyone laughed, had a good time. With everyone galivanting about as per usual, Pam couldn't help but wonder if what she was feeling was truly real.

"Huh...am I going crazy....?"

(Gonna look a bit rough, I’m posting from my phone)

Zeke hummed in response to everything happening around him, a slight haze leaving his eyes as he snapped back to attention, finally paying attention to everything happening in the current moment. “Ah, so, you’re wantin’ to join the crew then lad? So long as you’re willin’ to follow the only rules we got. My words law, with the only exception being matters of health, in which Ms. Izzy there is your voice of authority.” He said, gesturing to the doctor while giving a small nod in acknowledgment of her.

Until he noticed a change in Pam’s demeanor, in which he slowly moved his hand to his sword hilt. “Another exception bein’ our warning system here whose skirt is too short for her job… what’s the matter ms. Pamella.” He asked, his tone taking a more serious stance as he held the grip of his sword in preparation.

Moonberry Maverick Six​

Izzy's added protectiveness over their food was amusing: the sight somewhat reminded her of an angry kitten whose territory had been intruded upon. Raia had thought she was more the always-friendly type considering the way she so easily took to all the new crew members on their first meeting. Smiling at her side comment, she was about to respond before briefly recoiling and wrinkling her nose.

"Ugh, someone smells like dog fur." She hissed quietly, subtly glancing around for the source, though not finding any obvious culprits. Hidden identities were a dime a dozen, heck she even knew orphans that hid surprising truths and stories sometimes, hence she didn't pay the discovery much heed. This was an isle for criminals and exiles after all. But that discovery followed by a weird sensation passing through her body, made her think twice. The blondie mentioning someone 'spreading rumours' too, did not help.

Ugh. Annoying. Running a hand through her unnaturally blue hair, Raia couldn't tell if she had lost it whilst in captivity, or if this paranoia was real and valid. With a sigh, she tried not to let her head get to her and think things through rationally.

The recent talk of appraisal made her wonder if it was that, but she'd been appraised so many different times and ways, the sensation felt distorted and she couldn't be completely sure.

Although she still moved rather languidly as per usual, her eyes darted around thoughtfully, taking stock of their surroundings and trying to locate that disguised beastkin too. At the same time, she pressed closer to Izzy, ready to react at a moment's notice.

"Hey, Izzy, don't lose yourself in the food too much, k?" She smiled gently, giving their doctor's shoulder a light squeeze.

Having threats hidden in the dark whilst being in the light was annoying. They always were. She would like to group up with the rest of the crew, but who knows if their enemies had area of effect shenanigans ready to go. Man, she knew crazies that really loved their rickety, clockwork grenades back then. Whatever. What they needed was information.

Even if that disguised beast or whatever had the enhanced hearing to hear it, she might as well go all out. Better safe than sorry.

  Izzy's lips curved upwards in that familiar feline smile. Though her prey seemed to be the succulent meat that Yabani had kindly placed into her hands. She winked at the man's little play on words, then she moved to sit on the edge of the table, near Raia. Crossing her legs and getting herself comfortable, before she dug into her treasure. It was as she was raising the first skewer to her lips, that she heard Raia comment about wet dog. Izzy paused, pulling the meat away from her lips a bit hesitantly.
  
  "Well tha's no' exactly un expected es' et? We're en ah bar ain' we? Et's boun' tae' smell like' salt'n sweat. Maybe one've these foch's es...a Dog mink?" She paused her speech to start looking around curiously for any possible dog beastkin or dogs that might fit the bill for wet dog. But her interest and focus was quickly lost when Raia told her - not - to get too lost in the food. "Oi Oi Oi!" She called out a bit too loudly. "Wahs' ahll this now? Ah've been waitin' tae' get lost en this meat since ah'dun dragged th' man away from th' last bar! 'E promised me good food! Anh' ahm' damn well gonna enjoy et!" She harumphed, and pulled the skewer back to her lips. Closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. Then sighed and slid the first bit of meat off the stick. She let out a small moan as she chewed on the meat. Nodding and uncrossing her legs to swing them back and forth in an almost child like manner of pleasure. Whatever was going on, she at least appeared to not care or realize.

Characters: Zeke and Stella, Pamela, Izzy Mikhail, Pamela, ????​

"I dunno." Pam begins. "Something feels weird. Like something I've felt before." It felt embarrassing not to be able to describe something like a "gut" feeling. Immediately, however, Pam's eyes follow someone else.

Raia's blue skin was eyecatching within a bar filled with people of primarily conventional colors. Her eyes followed her as she, too, seemed to be suspicious. Most everyone didn't seem to notice.

As Raia wandered over to someone, she would see a face that might be familiar. It was the "brunette" from before. The exact same one who had said that Yabani's food was on sale. She appeared to be wearing a blouse, pants, and boots. For the most part, she looked like a human, the most abundant of the races and the most common one that you'd smell here. It would be more apparent to Raia, however, that she was a beast, something most would not be able to detect. A drink was right before her, but it mainly seemed untouched. And would remain untouched. On her back appears to be a hat. Though, of course, she would notice differences between what was seen and what was indeed.

Spoiler: Overwear E Results

Raia could more precisely smell the woman and identify her. It seemed that her beast blood spoke to something of a deer.

The echolocation actively pings her -- and what returns is a shape that belies her eyes. The woman appears to, in truth, be wearing robes. Atop her head is a set of antlers. And on her back, where her hat is, is a strange weapon that appears almost like a basket. It has a complex mechanism within, however, and is embedded.

The high-pitched sound appeared to alert the woman, who looked over at her approach with green eyes and a raised brow. "Someone's nosey." As Raia approached the woman -- she was greeted by a pair of green eyes.

"Though, I guess I can't be one to talk." She said cryptically, she was about to speak more. But then someone approached. One could spot a twitch in her face.

"What's up, Raia?" She heard Pam's voice coming from behind. "You make a new friend or something?" What Raia had seen, Pam did not.

"No. Your new -- friend "Raia" doesn't know me." There was a shift in the woman's voice. She sounded a bit more foreign. Certainly not from anywhere nearby. Not Widersia. Not the Fae See. Not the Eastern Empire. Somewhere farther West.

The woman would pull some cash out of her pocket. And she placed it by the drink. There appeared to be money.

"But I know you." It was a statement that almost flooded Pamela's mind. "I could smell the bandit on you a mile away. You left quite the trail. But it seems you've mixed with some pirates.

"Shen Lu, you fuc-" Pamela's fist clenched. And her hand flew at the woman without much regard. The enforcer raised a brow, beginning to move. But the situation had, in essence -- gone too quickly for even his eyes.

Kuroki

Soon everyone would see Shen for what she was, Antlers and all.

Shen Lu​

WHOOSH​

The attack had come before she processed what exactly it was. [Pamela has been surprised] A strike had come as an open palm directed towards her solar plexus. [Pamela HP 0/3] Air flew out of the bunnykin's lungs, along with a mixture of saliva and blood. Then she became a blur, flying out of the bar like a hurricane.

Unlike Pamela, Raia had the luxury of having fractions of a second to react to the attack coming due in part to her preparations, senses and caution.

SHING

Yanked from her back -- Raia would be the first to get a good look at the weapon. A so-called "Flying Guillotine". The weapon was twirled via a cord. And it might have been in another state, mistaken for something harmless, had a whir of spinning blades whipped in her direction like a ball a chain -- threatening to slice into the tendon that connects the neck to shoulder. [??? Grade Attack] Yet in an affront to common sense -- she seemed to weave attack and movement into one.

Silverdale, Savory Spittoon (Outside)

Characters: Yabani, Shen Lu, Pamela ​

The simmering of the grill would be interrupted by the shattering of the door.

CRASH

For all the trouble that the bartender had given Yabani, as it suddenly broke. Or, more accurately, shattered into hundreds of wooden pieces -- swinging hinges and mess made about the only indication it had ever been there in the first place. Through the shattered door came Pamela, who span almost like a ragdoll tossed through the air. Like across a pond -- she skipped and bounced along the ground until she finally stopped.

"You....

....fucking....

...Bitch." Pamela's eyes glazed over. Ragged breath escaped bloody lips. And yet her body had all but fallen limp.

Shen came out of the bar, twirling gracefully through the air as though floating before seeking to gently land outside. She inspected herself for any damage -- in case someone had managed to actually hit her on her way out. She'd effortlessly cross about 40 feet, and the plan was to land 10 feet or so away from Pamela.

"I had planned for this to be more decisive. But I suppose I'll just have to kill your friends again. Though maybe this time, they'll run." She said, her tone ripe with a blatant condescension and yet -- a tinge of surprise that someone had even managed to notice her and alter the course of her actions.

The town had become quiet. Almost everyone had been frozen, dumbfounded by the strange new face in town, and most of them were not in any immediate danger. Everyone seemed determined to mind their own business. The Enforcer found himself outside of his jurisdiction as the fight had carried itself out of the bar. "Barden" could be seen absconding from the bar. Stella appeared to coil almost instinctively onto Zeke's shoulder, and he could feel her grip tighten on him.

Yet, despite this, it seemed like everyone was watching. It wasn't often that a fight like this happened here...
