The Tavern

[Empusa Sesshi]

The elder nods. "Oh yes oh yes, plenty of adventure to be had about here...there's the Deep Delver Mountain range...the Lake of Blood, hmm...then of course there's the forest and mines, but they;re bein worked on already."

[Teddy]

"Lake of blood." He rolled the phrase across his tongue, as if testing it. "Sounds like a great place to visit... Could you direct me towards it? And if you can, give me any tid-bits about the area?"

[Empusa Sesshi]

He nods a bit. "Oh yes, I suppose I could direct you. It's located just a couple miles north east of here. As to information...could you perhaps be a bit specific hmm?"

[Mitera Nikkou]

The doors to the tavern flew open, and a ghost sweeps into the bar room. A ghost with long, radiant, turqouise hair. No, wait, I was mistaken; no such thing entered the tavern. Indeed! For, after a few steps, the person turned around to reveal their face, amethyst-colored eyes wide with panic. But their eyes soon became filled with surprise as they stumbled and plummetted to the floor, a girlish squeak emitting from their lips. No, that's not right either... The squirming body underneath the bed sheet was definitely a woman.

When she looked up from the floor, a wince still on her face, she didn't seem very thrilled to find her choice (for a hiding place) to not be a very good one, what with all of the men that were around.

[Empusa Sesshi]

Plenty of men around indeed...women too for that matter, each and every one halting their business to stare at the odd girl who collapsed into the room. Several long uncomfortable minutes drag by...before one of the barmaids hurries to her side. "Er...miss are you alright?"

[Mitera Nikkou]

Upon hearing a growing murmur of voices outside, muffled by the closed door of the tavern, the girl made haste on her hands and knees and (with a bit of a struggle with the bed sheet that she covered herself with) managed to crawl behind the barmaid's legs, now facing the door.

"Please, hide me!" The girl's musical voice appealed to the barmaid, eyes wide with panic once again. "I do not wish to mate with them!"

Outside of the door was a gaggle of men and boys, on their way to follow the girl into the tavern. Once they had seen her running around naked in town, they figured that she was asking for... Well, something. Of course, while many in the group realized that she was now covering up and fleeing from them, they still wanted to take the chance of snaring her and having her for themselves. Subconsciously, they probably realized that (after seeing her) they would never be able to appreciate and enjoy just any other woman again, and they'd grow miserable for missing out.

[Empusa Sesshi]

The barmaid blinks in alarm at the obviously insane girl, fortunately she's a very kind soul...so she nods. "C...c'mon then...inta the back er...miss?"

[Mitera Nikkou]

With a bit of unease, the girl stands and grasps the barmaid around the waist, half of her reason for doing so was as an act of gratitude while the other half was to keep herself from falling for when the girl would lead her to the back room (or whatever was at the back).

"Thank you!" The girl gushed, anticipating her escape. "Please, hide me quickly!"

(OOC: If the "miss?" was asking for a name, my character doesn't have time to think about imparting it just yet. Just so you know. XD)

[Teddy]

Frey watched the strange girl, then shrugged as she went off. "Well, advice as in what creatures dwell around the lake. Or IN it... I'd like to know what awaits me."

[Empusa Sesshi]

The bar girl hurries the odd sheet wearing one into the back door, revealing a smallish room. A set of bunk beds with small foot chests at the end are inside. "What on earth you you doing running around in a sheet?!" o.o

The old fellow chuckles as the girl is hustled off. "Fishmen mostly. Maybe a shark-eel or two."

[Mitera Nikkou]

"I... Well...!" The girl began to sputter before should could formulate a response that resembled a language. "I don't know!" She tossed her arms into the air in frustration and turned around, which made the bed sheet slip from her body and cascade to the floor in a heap. Unaware that she was displaying her femtastic body to the barmaid (so wrapped up with using her pent-up anger as she was), she grumbled: "I never felt the need to hide my body before! But, when I woke up this morning... I didn't even have my body!"

She opted to sit down on one of the beds, facing the barmaid. She cradled her head in her hands, shaking it to and fro gently while she groaned. "I think I'm getting a headache..."

(OOC: Yeah, she has always been nude before, so she thought that you were questioning her about wearing something rather than nothing.)

[Teddy]

"Doesn't sound bad... Not bad at all. Thank you for your time old man." And with that, the traveller stood up, walked out the door and headed north.

[Empusa Sesshi]

The girl's eyes widen as the lunatic drops her sheet. "G...goodness!" She drapes it back over you. "What...please slow down miss..." ^^;

[Mitera Nikkou]

"I'm not a 'miss'; I'm a guy!" The girl huffed, holding the sheet to her body to cover it, more out of recent need than past experience.

She fell back onto the bed and sighed, staring up at the ceiling. "Oh, I don't know what to do..." She closed her eyes and, after a brief pause, she added: "Maybe if I go to sleep, I'll wake up in my body again."

[Empusa Sesshi]

She blinks a few times. "Er...no miss you're most definitely a woman." ^^;;;;
