An ORP bar: The Nexus

[BlazeofLife]

OOC:
Ok, here's the idea.
This will be a bar, a meeting place, much like the ones already present in the General forum. The main difference, is that instead of coming as yourself, or creating a character to use here, this bar, The Nexus, is for characters that you already have. Whether you're presently involved in a sci-fi space quest, or a vampire thread, your character from said thread is welcome here. This is designed to create an in-game thread, for everyone to interact with, and role play with characters they normally wouldn't interact with, and, at the same time, to create interest in the various threads out there, by introducing to everyone the charcters from such.
You can play any character you wish, provided it exists elsewhere, as many times as you wish. Or, if you would prefer, you can play a different one of your characters each time you visit. The Nexus is open to ALL characters, regardless how many of them may belong to any one player.
Anyone and anything is allowed, the only rules are:
1) No fighting, if you have a fight, take it outside
2) Your character, whatever his mentality within his own thread, must be able to acknowledge the reality of the bar (eg. no cyborg from space questioning the existence of the dragon sitting beside him at the bar, etc.)
3) Intimacy, kissing, and cuddling are permitted, but no sex please. Take it outside or upstairs. There are perfectly good threads in other forums where you can indulge your appetites.
4) Only one of your characters at a time per visit. The idea is to meet characters from other threads, not to create a meeting between all of your own characters.

Remember, your character must already exist somewhere in ORP, so invite them in, and have fun!

Glancing about the large room, Sil smiled to himself, his lips curling back in a smirk. Truly, the tavern was magnificant, its size unparaled in all the kingdom. Such was intentional, of course, that he might host other guests as large as he himself.
Stepping forward, the giant blue dragon deftly avoided the chairs and tables scattered about the common room, having already ensured that enough distance remained between all obstacles to accomodate his vast bulk. Raising a taloned claw, he gestured at the smiling ogre behind the bar, who immediately set down the glass he'd been polishing and hurried over to the front door, turning the sign in the glazed window around.
'Open, and Welcome', it stated, in large, caligraphed letters.
Stretching his wings nervously, Sil moved toward the far side of the room, letting his vast bulk take rest upon the enormous divan set there for just that purpose. Around the room were scattered other benches and recliners, in varying sizes, in addition to the tables and chairs, to accomodate the different sized and shaped patrons who might choose to stop by. Taking a last look at the bar, where Ulris the ogre again waited, with his full stock of liquors and food, as well as certain other, less common items, like blood plasma and hearts, Sil sat back, waiting for his first patron of the night.

Sirroco
Having closed the door behind her Sirroco looked round the inn hmm I must be early she thought to her self the only other person/ creature in the Inn was a large dragon and the ogre behind the Bar heading towards the bar Sirroco found a bar stool climbing up on it she smiled at the ogre and ordered a Renshai green grape wine. well I might as well grab a drink while the peace lasts she thought to herself.

Sasha:
Entering the tavern, Sasha stood frozen in astonishment for a moment as she found herself gazing upon a giant blue dragon. Recovering somewhat, she looked around the giant room, noticing a woman seated at the bar being waited upon by an ogre. She walked over to the bar, not in the least fazed by the ogre - next to the dragon, he seemed quite unremarkable. Sitting on a stool, she asked the ogre for a pint of German lager, dark. She then turned to the woman who sat across from her, with a cautious smile:

"It seems that you and I are the first customers, I am Sasha."

 

[BlazeofLife]

Leaning back, Sil watched the two patrons with interest, sitting side by side at the bar. He listened carefully, as they ordered their drinks from Ulris. Smiling to himself, pleased that his customers had found what they sought, he concentrated upon their conversation again, wishing to know of the two before he introduced himself to them. The first to arrive, he paid attention to especially, for he recognised the wine she had ordered. Renshai. If he recalled correctly, the Renshai were a small clan from a distant land, blademasters all, who practised a long tradition of warcraft...
As for the other, only time would tell what motivated her. Still, he remained interested, and hoped fervently for more customers to flesh out his new business. Keeping a watchful eye on the front door, mindful of any new customers who might enter, he waved Ulris over, and murmered softly to the ogre. With a smile, Ulris sauntered away, around his counter, and leaned toward the ladies.
"If'n you please, miladies, yu're next drinks are sure'n to be on the house, ye ken? Courtesy of milord Sil, over yon". Pointing toward the dragon, Ulris smiled, showing a friendly, if somewhat gap-toothed smile, and turned away, to return to polishing his seemingly perpetually smudged glass.

Balinor Ohms

Balinor walked into the "tavern" although he had seriously doubted it was a tevern when he saw it, it was far to big. most likely some kind of chapel or castle.... but tavern was what it seemed to be. for there were two ladies and a dragon sitting around a bad. he came through the door and thanked the maker for the great doors, the dragon must be able to get out. so he didn't have to worry about bumping his head. he came to the bar and sat on a stool. his cloak still covering himself completely, his face hidden, and the bottoom of the cloak pooled around the floor of the chair.

he picked up a glass and poured watter from the pitchers around the tables. one he had brought to the bar and looked around at these people. "good evening, you are all wll i hope?"

he left the comment -isn't this place kind of big- out.

 

[BlazeofLife]

His voice echoing slightly, Sil responded to the mysterious figures greeting casually, and chuckled, his kead nodding sagely.
"Indeed, I cannot speak for the others present, but I am most certainly well, friend. The night is yet young, and already I have three guests in my enterprise. I could ask for no greater fortune. And how are you? What great adventure do you harken from, that you find yourself here in such auspicious company?"
Behind the bar, Ulris covered his mouth with a single great, meaty palm, trying in vain to hide his sudden snicker behind a cough. He was more than familiar with his master's sporadic, yet mercifully brief, forays into eloquence, yet it seemed as hilarious to him now as it had the first time he'd heard it, to hear a great blue dragon conversing with such a dry wit and wry humour.
Sneaking a peak from behind his hand, he glanced toward the newcomers, trying to guage their response to the grandiose speech.

 

[crysede]

Sasha:
Arching an eyebrow at the dragon's grandiloquence, the raven haired woman turned to her host, gazing at him with some curiosity.

"I thank you for the drink my lord, but as for great adventures, I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you," she paused, then added dryly, "unless you consider running for one's life to be a particularly adventurous activity."

 

[PmTick]

Rantic entered the bar and knodded casually to everyone before taking a seat. He order a Sam Adams Winter Lager and began to guzzle the beer down.

 

[faust]

Dumga walked into the bar, eyeing the patrons with some interest. Each and every one of them might make a nice snack later on, though he had no idea what dragon blood would taste like... Oh well, maybe later.

Sliding up to the counter, he looked directly at the towering ogre. "Hey you, green monkey. Yeah you. Go fetch me a pint of Extra Virgin Blood. And it better be fresh! None of that blood-bank shit, if you know what I mean."

 

[BlazeofLife]

His mouth still curled in a smile from the comments earlier, Ulris turned to fetch drinks for the newcomers, paying little heed to the barbed comments from the foul-mouthed one. He'd heard as much, if not worse, from patrons before, and such had little effect on him.
He set out the first drinks easily, they being of a more mundane nature, then hurried into the back room to attend to the more unique order. Finding the special cabinet, he unlocked it with a small key from his belt, and pulled forth a small flask, kept fresh by a stasis spell upon the cabinet. With a quick motion, and his nose wrinkled at the unpleasant, mettalic odor of human blood, he swiftly poured a tankard full, and restoppered the flask. Replacing it with care, he exited the storage room, setting out the newest guest's drink with a flourish.
He actually felt quite proud of himself. All that opportunity, with such motivation as the stranger had provided, and he hadn't spit in the drink even once. Mentally patting himself on the back, the excitable ogre returned to his station behind the bar, awaiting more customers, and glancing furtively at the ladies who already graced the premises.

 

[Khadgar]

hello

Balinor looked up at the dragon. "ahh i am well thank you. and i have not heard such speech in a long time. adventures you say? i am answeing the call of odd dreams. perhaps they should be called more nightmares. a splay of all sorts slaughtering small human farming villages. it is a sick saddistic place. a glad change on environment this is, if i may say so." Balinor tried to relax, the speach out of him now left his with little else, except listen to his host of course.

 

[Morgoth]

"Mother of all that's HOLY!!!!" screamed the man as he fell through 40 feet of air, landing on his ass on the ground. HE leapt up and started making gestures with his hands. "I'll kill him if he does that again! Every time! It's got to be on purpose! On purpose! I'm the only one in all the dimensions who'll employ him, and he still does that!" ranted the man, who was no other than Lokken the Great, known Protector of Most dimensions, planes, universes, and worlds. He sat down, still rubbing his rear, and ordered some heavy beer. Then he noticed the large Blue in the tavern. "You! You are the evil being trying to conquer the world! That means! Oh well, I've fought worse! A lot worse", he said, shuddering,"hold still, this'll only take a minute. Now, how did that spell go? Haven't used it in 3 damn centuries! Now let me see- Halok Portas Diminicus!" he croaked, finding himself a toad. The toad croake out a word and he was human once more. "No, no, it was Lopar Dracus Balsur Diminicus!" the last word being roared out, as he found himself inhabiting the body of an immensely large Black Dragon. Just about as large as Sil. "Now, how do I usually get most dragons to fight? Oh, yeah. Bastards who ambushed me in Hawaii got pretty riled at this: Ahem, I am here to conquer this world! You stand in my way, kin! Prepare to lock arms and tail with me in mortal combat!" he said in a poorly rehearsed voice, pronouncing each word far too much. He stood ina n awkward posture, one that no dragon in it's sane mind would ever find itself in.

 

[Khadgar]

Ward

Balinor watched this strange newcomer with intrest, but when he started to become violent and hostile, Balinor remembered the sign on the outside of the tavern "No Fighting What-So-Ever"

he thought that with a grand place like this their host had probably already done something about it, but who could be sure? taking a deep gulp of his water and twitching his fingers slightly, casting a deep ward of non violence over the room and non-chalontly placing the glass back down as if nothing happened

 

[BlazeofLife]

Sil watched the antics of the newest arrival with interest, trying unsuccessfully to hold back a wry chuckle as the befuddled sot (he could sense no odor of liquor about the man, but from his actions what else could it be?) transformed himself first into a toad, and then to a black dragon, his size nearly equal to Sil's own. Suddenly glad that he had built with such large occupants in mind, Sil looked on as the newly-transformed dragon contorted itself into a poor imitation of a fighting stance, awkwardly balancing on its hind feet like a human warrior. In human form, it would have been intimidating. In dragon form, however, it remained simply laughable.
Unable to contain his mirth any longer, and seeing Ulris behind the counter in equally dire straits, his olive complexion rapidly changing to red from trying to hold in his own laughter, Sil began to chuckle quietly, but the effort was too much.
Soon, great peals of laughter rolled forth from his splayed jaws, their intensity only increasing when he saw the indignation upon the face of his would-be adversary, and the tears of jovial delight streaming down the face of his bar keeper.

 

[crysede]

Sasha:
She could not suppress a chuckle at the new arrivals curious antics, as he fell 40 feet and then turned himself into a toad. Observing the goings on from the bar, Sasha could only shake her head in disbelief: she'd seen a lot of strange things in the waste lands, but the patrons of this tavern had already exceeded every one of them several times over. Sipping her beer, she smiled cheerfully as she caught the red-faced ogre's eye, then glanced around at the others, before turning back to the confrontation between their host and the other,... creature: curious as to what might happen next in this outlandish place.

 

[delite]

Well the peace didn't last long, Sirroco thought as she watched the new arrivals,
Turning to the woman sat next to her she said "hi, sasha, did you say I' m Sirroco " looking at the two dragons She said "I'll have a tenner on the blue one what about you"
Turning back towards the bar Sirroco stared at the ogre she had never seen an ogre any other colour than green," hey barman any chance of another drink and have one yourself you look like you could use one"
Glancing round the room Sirroco shook her head she had never seen such a motely group of customers in all her experience of taverns, (and her experience of tavern's was immense) There wasn't a single one of them that looked like a good bet for robbing.
Sirroco made her living in Taverns, she seduced men into acommpnying her outside, once outside she robbed them.
Having finished her quick glance round Sirroco sighed "oh well it'll just have to be a bus mans holiday,I'll relax and have a few drinks" she said out loud but to know body inparticular.

 

[Khadgar]

Balinor Ohms

Balinor laughed and looked to sirroco. "i'll take your bet, but i think neither of them will end up doing anything. the bluye one will die of laughter and the other one will fall and break something"

 

[crysede]

Sasha:
She burst into helpless laughter at the cloaked man's remarks, setting her drink on the bar counter to keep from spilling it in her mirth. When she was finally able to compose herself enough to speak, she turned back to Sirroco, still grinning, "Well met then Sirroco, and I daresay I think you will lose this bet!"

 

[delite]

Giggling Sirroco answered "you could be right, some one throw some water over that black un and cool him down or we ain't gonna have a bar tender for much longer. look at him he's gone bright red he's gonna die of asphixiation from laughter."

"Any one up for a game of cards or is the floor show gonna continue?"Sirroco asked looking round the room.

 

[Khadgar]

Balinor Ohms

Balinor smirked under his cloak "well. i donno, how do you stop something that size without angering it?"

 

[BlazeofLife]

Hearing the last comment by the cloaked man, Sil glanced over, his laughter finally beginning to abate.
"Why, my good man, you buy it a drink! A few rounds always serves to lighten the mood! (although in my case, such is rather unneccessary, seeing as how I own the drinks in the first place, along with the rest of the bar.)"

 

[Khadgar]

Balinor Ohms

Balinor nodded "right you are of course. here my ogre friend. a.... what do dragons drink? well he is human. or something. you can use your own judjement, but a drink for that one there" he turned back to Sirrico "so, about that card game?"

 

[Trey Fitty]

Jason Rangerson steps in with a monkey and goes to the bar, eying Sirocco strangely. Taking a seat he says to the barman "A beer please, anything strong."

*he looks at the monkey for a second*
"And one for my monkey. Don't worry, he can handle it."
The monkey starts pulling Jason's coat, and Directs Jason's attention to Sirocco. "Don't be rude Shakra, introduce yourself!"

 

[BlazeofLife]

Glancing quizzically at the monkey beside the newest patron, Ulris scratched his head at the odd request, but shrugged. If he wanted a besotted simian running around, that was his problem. He filled the orders, and brought them back to the bar, setting them down with a heavy thump.
"If'n you please, milord, might I be askin' ye what be the nature of yon mite companion? 'twould seem but a wee minke', but sur'n I's ne'er seen no minke' what could handle a pint, ye ken?"
