The Bartender comes as she finishes the coffee.

"Wow. Coming up, then."

She distributes more of whatever drink everyone ordered, then goes to start getting some for Horowiz's crew.

Thalia smiles at Horowitz.

"Thanks..."

She then starts drinking the coffee.

Dieter, meanwhile, decides to do something stupid on a whim and heads over to Horowitz's table. They wisely leave their wine glass where it was for now, however, because they'd probably drop it.

"Ahoy, there, admiral. Thanks for the drink. Permission to dock in your port?"

Yeesh, and talk about enterin', huh Marly?

Yeah...heh. Thanks?

(I tell the barkeep and/or Horowitz. I observe Dieter and call them out:)

You realize what you just said, right?

"I know *exactly* what I'm saying, Mar-Mar!"

Dieter, meanwhile, nods to Horowitz while trying to levitate their wine from the counter to their table.

"Yup, I'm one of the healers. Only joined up recently, but I'm gonna try and heal that king the best I can..."

Thalia, meanwhile, takes her coffee in claw and waddles over to Fatima, assuming she's among the captains.

(I took another sip of my drink.) Shame. At least I got something or rather, someone out of it. (I would refer to my entourage for the hunt. Just then, Admiral Asshole decided to waltz in with his crew. I decided to stay out of his way. No need to start up a bar fight not long after that... incident. But I did chuckle when the Girafarig wanted to "dock his port" and he took those words. Immature, yes, but I needed something to help keep my mind off that attack.)

Fragile Faces (Horowitz)

Hah, I wish ye luck then! *Horowitz then swigs his fairly high proof grain alcohol, before adding* Ye may think ill-'o-me 'cause of the boat, but I arcsdamn sure want pops to get better. A man like him should go out with a Pyroar's roar, not a whimper... *he swigs again, somewhat sentimental as he adds* A man of his feats dinna deserve to go out as a shackled beast...if the rumors I be hearin' are true...


Fragile Faces (Sarah)

Ahh, he lives! Wooo... *trailing off at Milo once more, she then says* ...aren't like, you rugged archaeologists supposed to like...have like...consti...RIGHT, like, major constitutions? I thought you guys like, would drink the bad guy under the table and daringly escape with the key to the ancient temple, y'know? *throughout all that, she mimes what she describes with the coordination of an infant*


Fragile Faces (Fatima)

Ah, Thalia. *Fatima greets Thalia warmly, adding* I hope this isn't too raucus for your tastes — it's just how they all are.

Well good luck with that. I'm sure he'd understand exactly what you meant...

Dieter turns back and winks at Marlon.

"Eh, stuff happens, misunderstandings happen, I don't think you were trying to do that. I'll sure do what I can. And, yeah, he's chained up alright. Seemed pretty lucid when we went up there, though."


"Bit loud but I figure I'll need to get used to it... How you doing? Not sure what Michael thinks of us after that conference..."

(I try my best to sate her curiosity.) I did get some bugs from Blue Cross to lend a hand. Sure, I didn't get the Jolteon to join, but I had to make due with what I got. Now all we need is a good place to stake out.

*opting not to acknowledge his attack on Ed, having a bit of a tell and knowing it, he then opts to take another swig, Horowitz laments* So the rumors are true, laddie...I can see why our uncle dinna let any of us see him...


Fragile Faces (Tilly)

I would suggest starting at the scene of the crime. *Tilly says to Grigori, then adds* Even if those who witnessed it aren't able to recognize the spot, whirlpools leave a distinct spiral trace on most roads — plus I myself can check for discrepancies in underground moisture to confirm.


Fragile Faces (Fatima)

It's clear that he certainly doesn't think highly of the Admiral... *Fatima tells Thalia in hushed tones, then adds* Regardless, I suppose no news is good news for you — as for me, I'm simply an observer in these proceedings. A vested observer, nonetheless, but still...

"Yeah... bit of a shame... didn't see him until well after the others did because I was helping some Diglett up the stairs with their cart..."

"But, yeah, gonna see if we can heal him some way. I heard some worries, but..."


"True... doubt flexing the noble card will do us much good... We should maybe think about how we're going to handle the homeless stuff he mentioned, though..."

To totally drink a lot! *Sarah says to Milo, then after another puff, she raises her joint to the sky and says* Like charisma, dexterity, agility, which ahahaha...is TOTALLY the same, strength, intelligence, wisdom, and heart! Ahahaha...


Fragile Faces (Horowitz)

Well, his fate's in yer hands laddie...so all I can do is wish ye well... *Horowitz says, then takes another swig before adding* Aah...plow on forward and leave no regrets! 'tis the way we all live our lives, am I right, mates?!

YEah?! *the captains weren't expecting that cue*


Fragile Faces (Fatima)

Taking a page from other civilizations who have recently expanded is a start. *Fatima tells Thalia, then adds* Attracting outside business is paramount — and given murmurs I've heard at various establishments, I imagine certain draconian policies are scaring away outsiders. *unbeknownst to her, the incident with Mixy on the boat is an example of this*

"Yeah, yeah, you're right. I need to do that too. I've had enough regrets."

Dieter's chair gets a bit closer to Horowitz and Horowitz might feel Dieter's neck on his side.


"Looking at other places might be good, yeah... And, yeah, guess it shouldn't just be tourists but lots of people coming seeking comfort... And, yeah, people can't be comfortable if we're too strict... We should all relax..."

Fragile Faces (Fatima)

Taxation is another gripe amongst our crews... *Fatima admits, adding...albeit cautiously* ...a non-trivial majority of them seek...employment with us just so their working families can make ends meet...

Exclaiming with excitement when he sees his invitees at the counter, Olias rushes towards them, climbing up into a chair to sit beside them. "You came! Oh, ah'm so grateful!"


With the King

[I sigh again.] "Thank you...for whatever the hell this whole hooplah was worth." [Facing away from the king, I exit the room...I guess Andy didn't stick around, eh? I wouldn't fault him, it's not like he was doing anything there but chiding me over. I give a quick wave to the bodyguards before I descend down the steps...the rest of the castle's been strangely quiet, and I feel a lick of frustration: they've already gone off to do wherever, haven't they... I missed seeing the rest of those bastards...maybe I could've gotten something from them about all this.]

"YO," [I call out,] "MICHAEL! Where the hell are you?!" [...maybe not the best way to address the king's brother, but hey, it'll get results, won't it?]


The Three Stoojes

"Well, boys," Johnson shouts to the other two. "It's time we get going! We got a job to do!"

Dieter chuckles.

"Heh... I wouldn't have come over here if I wasn't looking for the strong stuff."

Dieter takes a drink and has a bit of trouble holding it down, but does so.

"Whew... that was strong..."

They are now most likely leaning right against Horowitz, trying to stay conscious and not noticing Olias.


"Hm... that does sound like a shame... we'll have to look into taxes here... make sure everyone's comfortable there too..."

She gives a wave to Olias. "Yeah... it sounded cool..."

Yeah, I do. Should we say anything, Marsh?

Hmm...

(She looks over again.)

I dunno Marty, let's see if the Cap'n picks up on what Dieter wants ta do, eh?

Yeah. Say, isn't it that Olias guy from the castle?

Yeah, it is. Heya small fry, how are yas?

*still quite oblivious, though at least aware of the more raw physical aspects of Dieter's advances, Horowitz says* I see ye be the sentimental drinker yerself! No shame in passin' out to this stuff, I suppose... *he take back the bottle and grabs another swig, only to notice Olias arrive via stage. He seems to tense up a bit at first, saying*

Ah, if it isn't me half-brother...one of many... *but luckily the alcohol snaps him out of it as he offers the bottle and says* ...here ye go, take a swig! Surely a son of the great King Roughskin can handle a little liquor! Bwahaha!


Fragile Faces (Fatima)

*Fatima then gives a look around at the captains, while remarking to Thalia* They may seem like a rowdy bunch, but there's a surprising amount of pedigree, and more importantly...political connections among them. I may be the Admiral's advisor, but sometimes they're my own...

"...Hey, where are we going after anyway? To your ship or something? Scilio's tower? Or we gonna just pick this up tomorrow?"

"My family advises me sure, but... eh, I dunno if we're as close as you and your crew seem to be, really..."

"Oh, you'd be so'prised!" He laughs as he takes the bottle and just knocks it back without any care. He then passes it back to Horowitz...for a moment, he's briefly horrified about what he just did, but he brushes it off soon enough.

"Ah hupe yer enjoyin' the atmusphere here. It's nuht everyune's cup uf tea, but ah luve it nuntheless."

He leans over to address Marsha. "Oh, ah'm doen' fine. Ah'm nuht sure if ah'm op for a performance tonight...perhaps a cuple uf drinks could swee me une wee ur anuther." He then notices Thalia...he recalls faintly seeing her over at the palace, but he never got to say anything to her. "Are you anuther une uf the king's kids?"

I wouldn't discount them...even if they really care more about your status. *Fatima assures Thalia, then points out* If you don't get selected, you'll likely hold high standing in court...plus, blood is thicker than water.
