Carthrat

Carthrat-chan's eyebrow twitched.

Well, maybe she *didn't* want this guy talking to her. Maybe next time he fell out the sky, he'd take her with her or something.

It made no sense, she supposed, but neither did what just happened, so it all worked out.

She decided to head back into the tavern; despite her reservations, she figured it'd have some long-lasting food she could buy.

As she walked, she could no longer muster the energy to carry her 'package' over her shoulder, so instead, she dragged it along the ground.. leaving a good-sized ditch along the way.

Finally shouldering all of his equipment, Ginn noticed a girl in armor trying to drag a rather heavy looking sack along the ground, heading towards what looked like the town tavern.

Hopping out of the ditch, he caught up with her.

"'scuse me, but that looks kinda heavy.  Mind if I helped?"

Carthrat

Carthrat-chan blinked. "I'm fine, really," she replies. "You're awfully resilent for someone falling from the sky," she goes on, curiously. "However can you survive a fall like that?"

"It's a bounce enchantment.  I'm enchanted so that the energy from most normal blows are mostly transfered out to my surroundings.  Like, if someone punched me, they might get thrown back by a wave of energy... or the floor might crack under my feet... or something like that.  I never understood the physics of it myself... it was an experiment and... oh, I'm babbling, aren't I..."

Ginn chuckled and scratched his head.

Carthrat

"A.. bounce enchantment? Say, that sounds kinda like a Force Distributor.."

Carthrat-chan rummages through her dress for something, and pulls out.. a miniature train. "Well.. could've sworn I had one.. oh, wait, left it on my desk.. ah well."

Shrugging, she heads inside the tavern.

Rezantis

Sitting up with a poorly stifled groan, Relm dragged herself out of bed.

She may have been a great number of things, but she was certainly not a morning person.

After getting herself dressed, eating the food on the table and splashing herself in the face with some ice water - twice - she was feeling vaguely human again.

And she had the Mage Guild to deal with.

Stashing her gear back in her backpack and reconcealing a couple of throwing knives, she hefted the aforementioned pack and picked up the remnants of breakfast before leaving and heading downstairs to the bar . . .
Hangin' out backstage, waiting for the show.

Carthrat

Leaving her 'package' at the door (and being very careful not to cause any tremors with it), Carthrat-chan headed to the bar.

Well, it's not like anyone *could* steal it, even if they wanted to.

"Oi, barkeep! Have you got any dried meat?" she asks.
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

Ginnezumusha

Upon the mentioning of food, Ginn perked up.

"Barkeep, do you have any decent chow?  I'd be willing to pay..."

Ginn make a gold coin appear at his fingertips with some slight of hand...

Carthrat

"One at a time, one at time," gruffs back the barkeep.

He's looking distinctly worse for the wear after the events of the night before; he looks to have not got any sleep.

"Dried meat? Yeah, we've got a bit," he replies. "How much do you want?"

"Oh, about 4 days worth," replies Carthrat-chan. "Y'know, general trail rations and whatnot. And some water."

Grumbling, the barkeep manages to produce the requested goods.

"Roight. 6 coppers," he demands. Carthrat gives him the money, and goes to sit at a table to organize his goods.

"And do you want rations, too?" he rumbles at Ginn.

Ginnezumusha

"I suppose, but I'd also want some nice, warm breakfast too."

Carthrat

"Right. We have mutton stew. 3 coppers for the stew, and 6 coppers for 4 days rations," the barkeep replies.

Meanwhile, Carthrat-chan has produced a chest from somewhere and is rifling through the gear in it, looking for something..

Ginn gives the man a gold and waits for his change.

Carthrat

The barkeep gives a look of dismay as he surveys the gold, before digging underneath the bar for change.

After a bit of searching, he dumps 2 silvers and 21 coppers on the bar.

Ginnezumusha

Ginn slips the money back into his pouch, which goes under his shirt.

He picks up his goods, and sits down a the bar eating.

"Say barkeep, do you know where I am?"
