Jak descended the staircase for the third time that day, wearing another set of green robes, albeit a darker shade than normal.

He cast a hateful glare at Midoku, and an truely vicious one at Stephan when he met his gaze, then moved over to a relatively dry corner of the inn, remaining silent and generally trying to look intimidating a peeved. Being soaked twice in one day was not doing wonders for his oh so valued "rep" as far as he could tell.

Devon quickly compied with Krak's request.
"Er... Sorry, was that your money? You should be more careful with it. I mean, there are all sorts of thieves about. I was... um..."
"Merely picking it up for him?" Ashrem suggested sarcastically.
"Exactly! I was JUST about to say that!" Devon quickly finished.
"No doubt." muttered Ashrem.

Jak watched the two "treasure hunters" scurry around on the floor for the gold.

IM: "I'm surrounded by petty thieves and morons..."

Both scared and relieved that Kotoki and Brandon were Ok, Midoku finished wringing his locks out into a nearby bucket. He walked over and took a towel from the Innkeeper, his robes as damp as the floor he stepped on.

-_-;;; "M..Miss Kotoki I'm...uh...t-t-truly sorry for m-m-my haste action..." the Blue Wizard stuttered, starting to dry his hair out a bit, "I...I should have r-r-realized what ef-f-fect using such a s-s-spell in an enclosed s-space would do..."

e.e Stephan, meanwhile, was busy returning Jak's vicious glare. Satisfied that his current feelings toward the mage were made quite clear, he cast a glance over at Kotoki and company.

<\/<; Why the hell is he apologising for? The Dark Knight wondered, starting to walk over so he could take Kotoki up on her offer for the polish,

He just did what he thought was right... so what if they got a little wet? Not like anyone got hurt...

(I'll be away for the next week, so if you could just pause this RP or something, I'd appreciate it.)

by **Jak Snide** » Fri Jun 28, 2002 9:22 pm

(OOC: Kotoki is away for the weekend, so the RP will be "reduced" to character interaction for a little while anyway.)

*interacts*

w00t!

by **Kotoki** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 8:43 pm

Kotoki shook her head, still wringing out her ponytail. "No, it's fine!" she exclaimed. "Nothing was damaged and nobody was hurt. It was a split second reaction, that's all. I do that all the time."

Brandon nodded. "Besides," he started quietly, "if Miss Kotoki hadn't done whatever she did you would have saved the inn! That must count for something..."

by **Molokidan** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 11:17 pm

"Yay!" Molo, still sopping wet, hugged Kotoki. "Koto-chan always saves the day! you're so great!" ^_^_^_^_^

by **Jak Snide** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 8:52 am

...and Jak rolled his eyes in response, finding the absolute sappiness of the entire situation unbearable.

IM: "Yes yes, everyone's sorry, and everyone's accepted the various apologies and condolences. Well, at least the bard is hired now. Woo for "positive" action."

He turned his eyes to Kotoki and, resultantly, onto 'Dan who was still hugging her. His eye twitched once, then he gave himself a mental slap. 'Dan, despite being a blunt witted, thick as a brick kid, was kinda like family to him. Not close family; an annoying cousin or something, but family none the less.

And besides, the kid respected and looked up to him. And he liked that.

"So, when's the bard here going to start earning his pay?" he asked casually as he walked over to Kotoki, extending a hand towards Brandon slightly to indicate which bard he was talking about.

by **Kotoki** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 2:32 pm

Brandon nodded quickly. "I'll start right now..." he said, carefully not looking anywhere near Jak.

Kotoki rolled her eyes and patted him on the head. "He's only Jak. He's not going to kill you... Well, no more than he's going to kill anyone else." She shrugged and gave the bard a push towards one of the empty tables.

"Okay." replied Brandon nervously, hopping onto a table and sitting down cross-legged as he started to play.

Meanwhile.

"Where is he?"

"...Like I'd tell you."

"You know as well as I do that you're disposable. Now talk."

"Fine."

"The guards said he's at an inn."

"He is. It's called Kotoki's, I think, and it's somewhere in the middle of the city. I can't tell. He's nervous. And a bit happy."

"Alright. Guards, you can remove your swords..."

"Who are you sending?"

"Not who, what. Soldiers weren't the only thing we brought. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get him back."

by **Molokidan** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 3:51 pm

Molo smiled, hopping over the bar and pouring some glasses of random sodas and beers, whistling and handing them out. He sat cross-legged in a cutesy position on top of the bar, surveying the events.

by **FF Fanatic 80** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 11:32 pm

-_-; "...I still feel I owe Miss Kotoki *something*..." Midoku said to Stephan, the pair back at a table. After a good polish to his armor, and a well placed flamethrower spell above his robes, the duo were nice and dry once more.

>.>? "Why? Like I said, it's not like you broke anything..." Stephan said to the shy wizard, trying to console him the best he could, "If anything, she owes YOU for saving her inn from the sushi pyro dimwit over there... -\/-".

Midoku sighed in responce, holding his forehead beneath his head.

V.V;; "Stephan..." he told the Dark Knight in a deeper voice than normal, "...you *KNOW* that's not true... I could have done *MUCH* more damage with that spell than the small fire Molo' caused..."

The blue wizard placed both his hands together on the table, staring at them with his bright green eyes. Stephan sat there for a moment, his determined face faltering a bit into disbelief.

Ã³.Ã² "Hey... why are you beating yourself up over this so much?" he asked the Blue Wizard, scooting his chair over more than he usually would in public, "Sh#$ happened, yeah, but everything's f*&king fine now...?"

V.V "...I'm... not certain, really..." Midoku sighed, closing his eyes as he leaned back, creating a void of darkness beneath his hat, "...I suppose... I'm just used to doing things wrong..."

Now it was the Dark Knight's turn to sigh, starting to suspect what the the source of his companions fears were. He reached over and grabbed one of the wizard's hands, causing Midoku to open his eyes in surprise and glance back over to Stephan.

V.V; "...sorry..." Midoku started to say, turning his head toward the table, "...it's just that..."

He didn't have a chance to finish, as the Dark Knights fingers were busy rubbing against his hand, grabbing his attention immediately.

>.> "Mid, no one's gonna hurt you anymore... you don't have to be so scared." he said in a softer tone, blushing a little as he added,

*>.>* "...and I won't let anyone hurt you again, ever..."

Ã³.Ã² "...Stephan..." The wizard said, blushing a bit as well under the hat.

^.^ "So... don't be so down, K?" Stephan said, flashing a rare smile to him, "You have nothing to feel sorry for."

*^.^* "...thanks..." Midoku half sighed back, deciding to join in for some mutual hand massaging. This probably would have gone on for a good while, the pair gazing at each other affectionately as they both smiled. As fate would have it, however, Molokidan chose that moment to come over with drinks. Spotting the Sushi Ninja standing nearby, Stephan's face faltered, pulling his hand away quickly and grabbing the nearest drink on Molo's tray.

*-\/-*++ "Er... so yeah, that's what you do when your hand gets a cramp Mid..." Stephan blurted out, eyeing Molokidan with an annoyed glance, "...you can go now. e.e"

Without wasting a second, Stephan downed half the mug's liquid, trying his best to appear acting 'normal'.

-_-;;; "...Stephan..." Midoku sighed, facepalming under the hat, "...as long as we are speaking of 'overreacting'..."

He didn't get a chance to finish again, as the Dark Knight was coughing heavily.

o_o

;; "...are you alright?!" Midoku asked, about to get up out of his chair.

>.<;;; "J..j..just fine, Mid... *COUGH*" Stephan chocked out, plomping down back in his chair, "Man... whatever was in that Soda was strong... <.>;;;;"

>.>? "...are you certain that it was 'soda'?" Midoku asked him.

<\/<; "...course I'm sure!" Stephan said confidently, "I mean, what else would Kotoki allow that kid to carry around to the customers?"

".........."

>.O;;? "...*HIC*...?"

by **Molokidan** » Tue Jul 02, 2002 1:21 am

Molo turned around with the empty tray, scratching his head at Stephan's sudden 'circumstances'.

"Err. . .you guys did order Dragonale, right?" ^_^;; "Strongest ale in all of Doma! You're really brave, Stephan-san! I'm proud. *I* can't even drink a whole glass!" ^^

by **Kotoki** » Tue Jul 02, 2002 1:13 pm

Brandon smiled sadly as he watched Stephan and Midoku display their affection. "There but for mother go I..." he muttered, stopping the song for a moment.

The sad smile turned rather quickly to a fairly scared stare as the dark knight gulped down a glass of Dragonale in one go. Having had past experience with the drink, it was all he could do not to hide behind a table.

"This isn't good..." laughed Kotoki nervously. "Stephan, are you okay?"

by **Jak Snide** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 12:16 am

Jak cast a sideways glance at Molo, a smirk on his face.

"'Dan, you bloody idiot! What did I tell you about handing out Dragon Ale? The last thing we need are dead customers." he mock scolded, chuckling as he waiting the drink to take its effect.

by **Molokidan** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 12:30 am

"hehe!" Molo said, his tongue out. "I guess I forgot! Whoopsie!" ^^

by **FF Fanatic 80** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 11:09 am

0.o

o.0

O_O "...you... served... him.... WHAT?!?!?!" Midoku screamed at Molokidan, surprising everyone with his louder than normal voice. He would have stormed over to give Molo' a piece of his mind, but he was more concerned with his soon-to-be-alcohol-poisoned significant other.

>.>? "Stephan? Are you sure you are feeling alright?" Midoku asked, watching the Dark Knight eyes blinking in and out of focus, placing a hand on his shoulder, "...perhaps we should depart for the day and..."

Before he could finish, the Dark Knight's mouth turned upward into a sly grin, as he slumped out of his and slammed into Midoku, knocking them both onto the floor and leaving the blue wizard hatless.

O.<;;;; "Wh..what are you doi...?" Midoku tried to ask, but he was interrupted by Stephan planting a big, wet kiss on his lips.

^_^ "Yuuuure so pweeeeety...." The Dark Knight slurred, planting another smooch on his companion, who was already turning purple in embarrasment, his bright green eyes wide open in shock.

O_<;;;; "MMMMPHMMMPH!!?!?" Midoku tried to yell, but his mouth was busy with other things at that moment. Stephan finally pulled away, snuggling against him and pecking him on the cheek.

^_< "Yuuurr sooo snugggwy tooo *HIC!*" he slurred, rubbing his cheek against Midoku's, which was entirely purple at that point.

<_>;;; "WOULD SOMEONE GET A WHITE MAGE PLEASE!??!?!" Midoku yelled to anyone who was listening, which by this point was probably everyone in the bar.

by **Molokidan** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 3:38 pm

"Hehehehe!" Molo laughed. "Aw, Stephan, you're such a card!"

by **Kotoki** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 4:57 pm

Brandon turned red and continued to watch with some interest.

"Dear god..." muttered Kotoki, laughing so hard her sides were hurting. "Uh, Stephan, you might want to get a room. I don't think my customers appreciate sex in the bar, y'know..."

by **Jak Snide** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 10:04 am

Jak was too busy laughing to "help" Midoku and Stephan out of sight. Not that he'd want to in the first place. What was even better was knowing how the dark knight would react when he sobered up.

He was going to have give 'Dan a bonus for this.

by **Molokidan** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 12:17 pm

Molo hopped onto the bar next to Kotoki, sitting cutesy-style as he onlooked the goings-on once again.

"This is sure turning to be a fun day, isn't it, Koto-chan?" he smiled. "What do you think?"

by **Kotoki** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 12:35 pm

Kotoki blinked and tried to stop laughing. "I think..." she managed. "I think I need a really strong drink..."

by **Jak Snide** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 12:36 pm

"Not thinking of joining them, are we?" chuckled Jak, too amused to care about embarrassing himself.

by **KraKeN** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 4:26 pm

Kraken now perched on the bar and looking down at the trysting couple said, "you know if we could find some way to capture this, I know places that'd pay alot of money for this kind of material.

by **Kotoki** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 4:52 pm

Kotoki paused for a moment, then nodded at Jak. "Hey..." she whispered. "You remember those lizards...?"

by **FF Fanatic 80** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 8:00 pm

Midoku was, to put it midly, very upset, among the other feelings running through his mind (and body) at that moment. Instead of trying to help Stephan, who could possibly be DEAD unless his body was purified of the Dragon-Ale, everyone was having a big laugh at the Dark Knight's expense.

He also made a mental note to find out more about these lizards Kotoki spoke of, given their own room's constant lizard infestation.

e.e+ "...while I will admit this is somewhat... amusing... would someone PLEASE GET HELP!?" The Blue Wizard growled, the Dark Knight still snuggling against him.

*6.6* "Listen, Stephan, do you think you cou..MPHPHPH!!?!? *<.>*;;;" Midoku started to ask, but his drunk and aroused companion decided to plant another deep smooch on the Wizard's lips, cutting him off and wrapping his arms around the blue man's neck.

*-.-* ...so warm... Midoku thought for a moment, pressing his lips back and starting to move his hand around the Dark Knight's chest. Thankfully for him, there was not a combination of hormones AND alcohol impairing his judgement.

*<.>*;;; ACK!! NO!!! I must... s..stay...c..calm...h...he needs help... he thought in a panick, pulling his hands back and pushing the Dark Knight away from his face.

*Ã³.Ã²*;; "S...stephan, you need to lay down and relax..." Midoku tried desperately to explain to him, "I...it will help slow down the alcoh..."

*>.^* "O..*HIC!*..Okies!" Stephan shouted, rolling over and raising a leg so he could lie on top of the Blue Wizard. Midoku quickly pushed him back to his side, knowing full well that position would have the opposite effect of calming Stephan down.

*o\/o*; "Not on ME, Stephan..." Midoku growled.

*<.>*? "But...*HIC!*...I shought it wuz.. m... my turned tuu bea onna top?" Stephan slurred, helping the blue wizard's cheeks to remain purple in embarrasment.

*e\/e*++ "Ju...just stay off me and stay there, please..." Midoku half growled this time. The Dark Knight suddenly let go of him, his glazed over eyes starting to tear up, his lower lip trembling a bit.

,Ã³.<, "Y..yu... dun wansta snuggle... wid me... ane moore?" Stephan choaked out, the Blue Wizard facepalming with he free hand.

*V.V*;; "No Stephan..." Midoku sighed, "...maybe when you're feeling be..."

,>.<, "B...b.ut...I WUUUUUUUUV YUUUUUUUUU!!!!" Stephan shouted in a loud slur, sobbing into the Wizard's shoulder.

**<.>**;; ...he'll never hear the end of this... and neither will I from him... *sigh*... Midoku sighed to himself, hoping that someone would finally get up and find some help...

by **Jak Snide** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 8:00 pm

"Hmm? You mean the chimera's?" he whispered back, a smirk spreading across his lips.

by **Molokidan** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 8:47 pm

Molo scratched his head, confused, listening in on another one of Jak's conversations. "Chimeras? Oro. . .what's a chimera?"

by **Kotoki** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 9:38 pm

"Yeah..." whispered Kotoki back. "Well... They're nice people, but... I'm fairly sure that Stephan would do the same if we were in that position... Could you go upstairs and get one?"

Raising her voice, she turned to Midoku and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry about it. I don't have anything that could help, but I'd never let anybody die of drink in my bar. I water mine down a bit." She grinned. "You want some too?"

Brandon, meanwhile, was staring at the dark knight and blinking profusely. "You're... worse than I am... ^_^;;"

by **Jak Snide** » Sat Jul 06, 2002 10:32 am

Jak smirked, then went upstairs for a moment, returning a short while latter with a tiny green lizard, which lay dormant in the palm of his hand.

Pointing it at Stephan and Midoku, he prodded the little lizard, awakening it. It hissed at him, narrowing it's eyes at the mage.

"Look," he whispered, "make a picture of that." he finished, pointing at the duo.

The little thing hissed again, directing it's eyes at the two on the floor...

And in a flash of light, a small painting appeared next to the chimera, capturing the moment perfectly.

"This good enough?" chuckled Jak, showing the picture to Kotoki.

by **KraKeN** » Sat Jul 06, 2002 11:05 am

"You know", said Kraken peering at the painting, "I could get you a tidy return on that picture, with a pity creamed off for myself of course; but a lot more for one of those lizards, where did you say they were?"

by **Kotoki** » Sat Jul 06, 2002 1:01 pm

Kotoki blinked, looking at the picture. "I guess that'll be good..."

"They're chimera lizards." she responded to Kraken. "I'll get another one for you upstairs, if you'd like." That said, she moved upstairs to find another lizard.

by **RPGWWer ChronoCatfish** » Sat Jul 06, 2002 5:28 pm

Ashrem was not amused. He walked up to Kotoki.
"Wouldst it not impinge upon such of thine honour that remaineth, I would no doubt quit this depraved establishment. However, under the expectation that the cost has decreased due to recent events, I will stay here."
Devon once his fits of laughter over one of the 'recent events' mentioned, pulled himself up, 'forgetting' to return all of Krak's money, and walked over to Kotoki.
"So how much would a room cost? I think I'm going to like it here."

by **FF Fanatic 80** » Sun Jul 07, 2002 11:53 am

The relative peace that had come about was interrupted, however, as Kraken found the painting engulfed in flames. A massive column of flames now separated him and Jak, the source being a red haired, green robed, and extremely irate wizard. Once the spell had receeded, he stormed over to Jak, their hats meeting and touching brim to brim.

e.e "So... all this time, while we've been paying your board, eating your meals..." Midoku growled, his eyes almost seeming to burn with bright green intensity from beneath his hat, "...you've been doing THAT to us..." he said as he pointed to the enflamed painting, "...very well then... if you're going to exploit us behind our backs, then I see no reason for us to continue staying here..."

Walking back over to Stephan, he helped the Dark Knight stagger to his feet, guiding him to the exit of the bar. Midoku turned around once before leaving, giving Jak one last glare.

e.e "...you can tell Ms. Kotoki that she just lost two customers, good day."

With that, the pair exited from Kotoki's, the door slamming shut behind them.

,v.v, ...I can't believe she was doing that to us... she'd always seemed so nice... Midoku thought, the shadows of his hat hiding a small tear running down his cheek. He looked over at the Dark Knight, who was still trying to recover from the watered-down drink.

...I guess your view is correct sometimes, Stephan... he thought, holding the staggering Dark Knight closer as he tried to find somewhere the pair could rest,

,v.v, ...sometimes people just s*&k...

(OOC: Hey, how would *YOU* react if you found out your privacy was being invaded? ^.^;;; )

by **Kotoki** » Sun Jul 07, 2002 1:40 pm

(I would laugh it off, actually. Then again, I have no privacy to be invaded. That being said, ouch.)

Meanwhile, Kotoki was off busily searching for another lizard. "Here lizzy lizzy lizzy..." she said, feeling really stupid in general.

"There!" she yelled, trapping one of the skittering forms under her hand. Picking it up and carrying it by the tail, she carried it downstairs smiling. "Got one! Hey, where're-"

Her question was interrupted by said lizard rearing up out of her hand and growing to roughly human size. It hadn't looked quite so menacing before, really, and had been decidedly lacking in fangs and claws.

Brandon, who had been sitting on the table and staring confusedly at the door, blinked at the monster. "What's an eastern grun doing here...?"

by **KraKeN** » Sun Jul 07, 2002 2:32 pm

Kraken saw his "money" flame up in front of him, he wasn't a fan of magic even though he did partake in some of its less destructive side. Still it was nothing to make a hubub about there was still the lizard.

"I wonder whats stuck up his ass", he to himself. Thinking this over a bit more he rolled his eyes, "Ah, stupid question".

by **Jak Snide** » Sun Jul 07, 2002 2:54 pm

"First we get rid of one set of pests, and now we have another." Jak muttered, his temptation to go after and the stupid blue mage and burn him to a crisp quickly being redirected towards the lizard.

"Burn in the abyss!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, stretching out both hands and launching a ball of fire at the "lizard thing," whatever it was called.

by **Kotoki** » Sun Jul 07, 2002 3:16 pm

Although Jak's aim was good, the blast just barely singed the lizard, who dodged effortlessly and hissed at him.

(Combat desu. The lizard is fast, so it gets multiple turns... Especially considering it's outnumbered.

"Oh f*ck off!" yelled Jak, aggravated that the bloody thing had avoided his spell.
