Aisha was hoping he'd play to the drama a bit more, like a bad mid-morning soap opera but this was fine too. She continued her antics until he lept from the stage. at which point she reached out for him, waiting for him to 'sweep' her away as she hid the 'lack' of bulge in her stomach. Whether picked up or held hand in hand, she would lead him away from the place, and far enough, as well as behind a building so that should any curious onlookers seek them both out, it would at-least be less likely to be spotted.
Once she was sure it was fine, she would begin to snicker uncontrollably. Nyot exactly what Aisha intended but it worked for a bit of entertainment. Aisha has hoped you would play into the crrowd a bit more, but this one di.. gresses? you know what she means. In anycase.. what are you doing here? It seems you are spinning tales that Aisha has and has nyot heard before. Also how did you get here? when did you get here? And what all happened after ..This one and her frriends dissappeared? Aisha noticed the mayor back i nhis position and has heard that some of those seeking to destroy Ruskivek in some fashion had fled... But what does the great spi-kick know that Aisha might nyot?
The Hallowsong has a very vibrant and pleasant atmosphere, lacking the rowdiness that is typical of so many taverns. The trio moves through a number of songs, slowing for a lovely ballad before picking up speed once more for a happy cantina song.
As they play, you can't help but notice the uncomfortable stares from patrons near you. During the second song, two large panda humanoids, armed with spears and shields at their sides, sit near the entrance, their eyes focused intently on you.

AISHA:
OOC: Oh don't worry, he wasn't done yet.
Mro Jus Bir picks you up, spinning you in circles, tears welling in his eyes. "My darling...how did you find me? That morning, when you left, I..." he breaks into a half-laughter, half-sob. "Is this true? I feel like I can live again!" With another subtle wink, he dips you, attempting to move in for a fitting kiss, positioned perfectly so that the kiss would be evident, but a rejection not as visible to the crowd at his back, who collectively gasps, some leaning forward in anticipation of this climactic moment.
After the moment has passed, he speaks through chuckles and tears of joy. "I am sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I will return soon, but I must...it appears that I have some catching up to do." Responses, shouts of encouragement, and cheerful applause follow you outside of the door.
Once in a nearby alleyway, the feline bard places his flute back in a loop on his belt and adjusts his boots, speaking to you now in a less performant voice, his thick accent more suitable to his current state of dress. "Now I have been surprised by many a thing over my years, but this...when did I get here? This is my home. I believe a better question to be how did you get here? When did you get here? I tried for hours to find you after we escaped from the settlement on Vandyr, but I could not leave the prisoners there for themselves to become food to wyverns. I brought them back to Ruskivek, and your panther too, though she ran from me as soon as we returned...but yes, now I digress, why are you here? And how did you find me?"
Harmony just claps after each song, listening to them play with a smile. She really did not like all the staring though, now seeing the panda humanoids with weapons by the entrance watching her. Why? She hasn't even done anything, she's just been sitting here listening to music. She just smiles happily, continuing to listen to the music in a polite and friendly manner.
"Yes," Abaraxs says, "a Turmaether expedition, but while we wait, if you'd like to tell us about the first job you mentioned, that would be fine." He glances at Garu, hoping that is fine with her. Abraxas waits until the man with glasses is looking even slightly away and shuts another book.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aisha played into it and swooned with the crowd, pressing into the kiss to make it seem all the more realistic, and not really minding in any case, until at last she was carried out and set down. Having to hold back a smirk the entire time. Finally listening in on what he had to say. Ah, this place is your home? Aisha did nyot have much time to speak with you Mr. Don't-look-at-me~ Must be quite bashful for a minstrel. She kept her eyes out for anyone happening to wander in but was otherwise focused on the conversation at hand. As he asked his question however, she would sigh.. clearly not at him or the question but the rest. Well, Aisha has nyo reason to hide anythign from you, sicne the others seem to just spout it at the most rrrandom times....
So, Aisha will tell you everything, in rreturn for what you risked for my partner. Aisha is nyot of this world. Nor are her companions. We come from another realm entirely. Toril. Though technically Aisha comes from Abeir-Toril.. Torils mirror dimension... thus the ... she says, displaying her fur and patterns in a way that says to look, simultaneously realizing her top has been up the entire time.. and.. correcting it with little haste, until her bosom is covered once more. Aisha's furr is nyot supposed to be white. Aisha is similar to what we call a .. Tiger. orange and black, but the Mirror dimension drrains the color you see. This is why Aisha is white and black. But no sooner than my people had found their home, this one was summoned to this world, as were her frriends. By the gods of this world. Aisha cannyot rrremember them all but her's if of shadow and twilight. Keenan? Geenan? Whatever...
Aisha believes you should know who she refers. They have summoned us here to save your worrld from destruction. We were where we were before, to stop some snake deity from taking over that moon and later destroying everything else. But.. it seems that is not the only evil one with plans. Thus, We are here. To fight off the next apocalypse. And beforre you ask, Aisha's home world is in peril, so this is nyot necessarily just a bunch of wandering kind souls doing good deeds. We are trying to save our own homes as much as we are yours.
You could nyot find us because apparently upon 'sucess' we were summoned to... somewhere.. where three deities grreeted us. Geenan, and another male, and some female.... Aisha let her tongue bare it's fangs then. But as you can see, she was not smitten. We were then tasked here, and.. well woke up in our home in Ruskivek. Spent a month or so readying ourselves and then we came here. being smart enough to leave out the 'how.'
As for how this one found you? she said getting capricious again...she sighs.. As much as Aisha wishes she could say it was by accident or chance... You have a very... peculiar odor... one that is.. nyot so pleasant... she says, scrunching her face as if somewhat disgusted but apologetic...
(perform: 13)
Aisha is heading to Skogyr's order hall though, if you wish to join her.
The watchful eyes remain, but leave you undisturbed as the band completes their song and takes a break. When one member of the trio spots your approach to speak with them at the bar, he reacts with a start, dropping his glass to shatter on the floor in the process. Another of the elvish bards guffaws while the third greets you. "Don't mind Elcan, he's a bit jumpy. Thank you for the kind words, we're glad you enjoyed it. We play here most nights. I'm Norro, by the way, and these are Elcan and Fen, my bandmates. I see you carry some instruments yourself."
Norro orders a pitcher of wine and pours a cup for himself and for you, raising his own in a toast. "I hope you don't mind my saying, but I've never seen anyone like you...it was obvious you were new in town when you didn't recognize us, but the appearance would have given it away anyway. Where are you from?" he asks.

ABRAXAS & GARU:
"Well, I'll give you the rundown since you're obviously not from around here," the man says, speaking faster as his eyes impatiently dart from one corner of the room to another as if they could finish his business for him. "In addition to studying and managing magical items and artifacts and keeping the portals to Galasir in order, we also manage requests from the denizens of the moon. If you think adventurers are in short order here, imagine how hard it is for the people living on Galasir," he explains, his voice getting more nasally as he rushes his speech. "Anyway, the Wysto have a fishing settlement near the Dark Ocean. Apparently their boats and nets are being sabotaged, and they want some heroes to sort it out. At this rate, I'll be lucky to find a scarecrow to send their way. They assured me they could pay well, if you'd like some extra work, though...I'm sure Turmaether seems the more illustrious work," he says, practically spitting out the last bit.

AISHA:
Mro Jus Bir squints, processing the litany of incredible information. "You mean Ginan. He is not for me, that one...too sneaky and hidey. I prefer to look my opponent in the eyes and speak at them with bravado before I slay them with my beautiful weapon," he offers.
When you conclude, he closes his eyes, tapping at his forehead. He opens his mouth to speak more than once, but no words come out. He paces back and forth a few times before he finally speaks.
"So either you are the world's greatest hero or the world's greatest prankster. I have never heard a tale so absurd yet so believable. You are quite the performer. Yet you also were there on Vandyr. I suppose you could have been sent there by the gods, but then again, I was there, and I did not have any higher beings to point me to it. You could have discovered the missing prisoners just as I. But then you disappeared. But you could be very sneaky, like Ginan, yes...but then how would you get here so quickly, unless you had...you see, I only just arrived within the tenday, yet you say you were in Ruskivek for a month? How could..."
The bard frustratedly growls, his speech becoming more scattered as he ponders. Eventually, he shakes his head to clear it.
"No matter. You are full of surprises, it seems. Perhaps, you require more...study," he says with a wink. The jovial Nekomata grows stern, however, when you mention the order. "What business do you have at the Order of Skogyr, may I ask?"
"...and I will have you know I was planning to take a bath tonight. One does not find the opportunity to bathe on a moving ship or during a performance."
Aisha would shake her head with a sigh of dejection Well when you are as tiny as this one, you have to be sneaky. Aisha has a powerful bow, but can't really.. take a hit. She had a run in with these weird shadow things once... It was nyot pleasant. She watched him flounder for a bit before finally reacting to the primary news, that up to this point she had been keeping close to the chest. Eh.. this one has nyo way to prove what she says. You arre free to believe what you will. As they didn't tell any of us that you or anyone else would be there. their excuse being 'oh, we can summon you frrrom anyother worrld, but we aren't omnipotent' she heavily, and visibly deadpanned her frustration.
But they did teleport us from the moon, directly into our house. Also it is nyot just Aisha.. there are her friends, though she is unsure if you are aware of them. The teifling bard, Harrmony, our mage, Abraxus, and we recently lost our warlock, replacing them with aat this point her disdain was apparent kitsune... They claim to be different than the ones this tabaxi knows, but Aisha does not trust them. And as for how we got here, A lady has to keep some secrets. Purrhaps she will tell you eventually.
She replies with a smirk of her own before responding fully This one may allow further study, if you can do the right things.... but his change in tone was easily noticeable, and a bit of confusion washes across her face at his response... This one and her friends have come here to hunt. And the order is the one requesting the prey to be caught. But we were unfamiliar with the city so .. we split up. As we know they desire this hunt, but we don't know where the hunting grounds are. she says initially trying to keep what they're after a secret... but, reconsiders halfway through.
Considering that the deities have asked us to effectively fight other deities... or in the case where this one found you... their faithful, we have come here seeking a bit of power. And learned that there is a place to get it. And as we are ahead of schedule, we have the time to hunt down this power. Aisha does not like to fight unprepared as we did when we faced off in Vandyr. We were strong enough then but what about next time? what if we fight something stronger than just the grunts? That is what this one means. If you would like to meet the others, Aisha was just heading to Skogyr, though it seems you dislike them for some reason. So~ You are weclome to follow my tail and stare, or... stay here and miss out on what could be the greatest tale you ever tell.
With that, Aisha would smirk one final time, here eyes peeling off him slowly as she continues walking to Skogyr, keeping an eye out for Harmony on the way.
Harmony had been so surprised by the glass shattering, feeling bad for having caused that. Then she listened to Norro, nodding and smiling as he mentioned that she carries instruments. "I'm Harmony! It's nice to meet you guys. Yes, I do play these and the viol and flute. But I am mainly a singer and dancer." she said back to him before seeing the wine and offering it to her. She's never drunk wine, much less any alcohol due to her age but she didn't want to be rude, raising her glass up in a toast with Norro's as she smiled. Then she heard what he had said about never seeing her before and asking where she's from, thinking if she should say anything about the gods. But these guys seem to be nice, knowing that it would be hard to explain how someone like her is here otherwise. "Thank you for the drink. I'm from another world called Toril. Me and my friends were summoned here by the gods to save both our worlds." Harmony had said back to Norro with a smile as she decided to try the wine, taking a small sip. Instantly anyone could see the disgust on her face, sticking her tongue out like a child as she did not like that at all. It's so dry, bitter, and really yucky! How can adults possibly like and drink this so much?!
"If it is a short trip by portal, we will solve the mystery of the nets," Abraxas says. "Will you please send our allies along as soon as they arrive?" He will quickly sort any nearby books by author's last name.
Mro Jus Bir places a hand over his heart with a wounded expression. "You misunderstand me, my dear demeaning Nekomata...err, tabaxi, as it were. I do not dislike the Order of Skogyr. In fact, I work for them. And, it would appear that our paths have crossed once more. You see, I am sponsoring an expedition into Turmaether in the coming days. I have been performing at No Man's Lamb as I do in my time off while I await the arrival of a group from...Ruskivek," he says with a wry smile.
"It was a woman from the Order of Thalassa in your fair city that I corresponded with...a certain...what was her name, Mishi? Mizzi?"
___________________________
ABRAXAS & GARU:
The bookish man scrambles around a nearby desk, reopening a couple of the books Abraxas had closed, and with a shout of "Aha!", pulls a leaf of parchment out from among them.
"I will need your names for our records, please. And you of course are welcome to travel to the Wysto at your leisure, though they spoke of the sabotage occurring in the midst of night, and I don't believe it is yet evening on that part of Galasir," he says.
___________________________
HARMONY:
"You're a storyteller as well as a singer, it would seem," Norro chuckles. "I'm sure the boys and I could use a night off if you'd like to try your hand at performing here some night. Just let us know. It's pleasure to meet you, Harmony."
Harmony was confused as Norro said that she was a storyteller, knowing that she isn't. Does he not believe her then? She heard as he said that she could try her hand at performing one night here if she lets them know, nodding back. "Oh, yes I would love to perform! I'm not sure how long me and my friends will be here for, but I'll be sure to come back with them if we have to stay overnight or for longer than two days. Speaking of which, I should get going and find them. Hopefully I'll see you again, Norro." Harmony would say back to him with a big smile, waving goodbye to him and the other band mates before she would start heading out of here. She had almost forgotten that she was on her way to the Order of Skogyr, glad that she just now remembered.
Abraxas holds the parchment in one hand and the quill in the other. "So we go through the door downstairs in order to arrive in Wysto? How do we return?" He is listening for the man's reply before he moves any closer to signing the document. He wants to be sure they have a way back. He is also considering the quality of the ink and quill he holds and wondering if it would be too offensive if he signed his name with the far superior quill and ink in his satchel instead.
"The people, the people are Wysto, not the place!" the bespectacled man impatiently states. "You know Wysto, right? The fisher's of Galasir's waters?"
As he speaks, the door to the order opens, and Harmony steps into the chaotic building. Those in the order's employ are so busy moving from task to task that they barely note her exotic appearance, though the man that Abraxas and Garu have been speaking to certainly does, stopping mid speech. "Please tell me she's with you," he says in a nervy voice.
(OOC - Sorry, had some BS come up the last couple days)
Aisha's ears perk up curiously at Mro's admission Oh? Mitsi this one thinks, but her name is slippery from the mind. Too close to other names, as you just mentioned. Aisha is nyot sure of the name of the place we are to be going... But we are here because of some location, posessing powerful things to claim or return them to the city. Obviously you understand which Aisha would prefer considering the... difficulty of our task. On Vandyr? That was much easier than expected... Not to denote any efforts made by anyone but it was far too simple to overcome compared to what it should have been... and what if we had failed to stop it? Aisha would nyot like to fight a god, or the avatar of one with a simple wooden bow... hopefully she is getting through.
So it seems fate has brought us together, or purrhaps the roll of the dice from some being in control... In any case, it seems we both have a destination, and it happens to be the same place. Will you be taking this one to Skogyr? Aisha is sure they have a bath in there somewhere...
Abraxas smiles at Harmony. He is very glad to see her.
"Actually, no. We don't know the fishers of Galasir's waters." Abraxas stands up straight, increasing the distance between himself and the contract. He has begun to hold the quill and ink like a dirty diaper. "I'm excited to hear about them. But first, how will we get back from Galasir's waters?"
Harmony walked into the building, so surprised and smiling as she saw Garu and Abraxas. "Abraxas, Garu! I'm so glad to have found you guys. It looks like you ended up getting here first. I haven't seen Aisha yet though, hopefully she finds her way here soon." she had said back to them, glad to be with her friends again.

With that, Aisha would smirk one final time, here eyes peeling off him slowly as she continues walking to Skogyr, keeping an eye out for Harmony on the way.

"We can travel by portal to Wysto?" Abraxas says to the man with glasses. "There and back again in a breath?"
He looks at Garu. "Should we wait for the others? Try to solve the problem on our own? Just boats and nets. How difficult can it be?" he says.

Garu’s expression turns gleeful. “I would LOVE the chance to solve the mystery. Boat and nets are not my stock and trade but I think we can do this.”
She smiles back at Abraxas. “Seems easy enough”

Harmony had been so surprised by the glass shattering, feeling bad for having caused that. Then she listened to Norro, nodding and smiling as he mentioned that she carries instruments. "I'm Harmony! It's nice to meet you guys. Yes, I do play these and the viol and flute. But I am mainly a singer and dancer." she said back to him before seeing the wine and offering it to her. She's never drunk wine, much less any alcohol due to her age but she didn't want to be rude, raising her glass up in a toast with Norro's as she smiled. Then she heard what he had said about never seeing her before and asking where she's from, thinking if she should say anything about the gods. But these guys seem to be nice, knowing that it would be hard to explain how someone like her is here otherwise. "Thank you for the drink. I'm from another world called Toril. Me and my friends were summoned here by the gods to save both our worlds." Harmony had said back to Norro with a smile as she decided to try the wine, taking a small sip. Instantly anyone could see the disgust on her face, sticking her tongue out like a child as she did not like that at all. It's so dry, bitter, and really yucky! How can adults possibly like and drink this so much?!
"If it is a short trip by portal, we will solve the mystery of the nets," Abraxas says. "Will you please send our allies along as soon as they arrive?" He will quickly sort any nearby books by author's last name.

AISHA:
Mro Jus Bir places a hand over his heart with a wounded expression. "You misunderstand me, my dear demeaning Nekomata...err, tabaxi, as it were. I do not dislike the Order of Skogyr. In fact, I work for them. And, it would appear that our paths have crossed once more. You see, I am sponsoring an expedition into Turmaether in the coming days. I have been performing at No Man's Lamb as I do in my time off while I await the arrival of a group from...Ruskivek," he says with a wry smile.
"It was a woman from the Order of Thalassa in your fair city that I corresponded with...a certain...what was her name, Mishi? Mizzi?"

ABRAXAS & GARU:
The bookish man scrambles around a nearby desk, reopening a couple of the books Abraxas had closed, and with a shout of "Aha!", pulls a leaf of parchment out from among them.
"I will need your names for our records, please. And you of course are welcome to travel to the Wysto at your leisure, though they spoke of the sabotage occurring in the midst of night, and I don't believe it is yet evening on that part of Galasir," he says.

HARMONY:
"You're a storyteller as well as a singer, it would seem," Norro chuckles. "I'm sure the boys and I could use a night off if you'd like to try your hand at performing here some night. Just let us know. It's pleasure to meet you, Harmony."

Harmony was confused as Norro said that she was a storyteller, knowing that she isn't. Does he not believe her then? She heard as he said that she could try her hand at performing one night here if she lets them know, nodding back. "Oh, yes I would love to perform! I'm not sure how long me and my friends will be here for, but I'll be sure to come back with them if we have to stay overnight or for longer than two days. Speaking of which, I should get going and find them. Hopefully I'll see you again, Norro." Harmony would say back to him with a big smile, waving goodbye to him and the other band mates before she would start heading out of here. She had almost forgotten that she was on her way to the Order of Skogyr, glad that she just now remembered.
Garu writes her name on the parchment then hands it to Abraxas.

Abraxas holds the parchment in one hand and the quill in the other. "So we go through the door downstairs in order to arrive in Wysto? How do we return?" He is listening for the man's reply before he moves any closer to signing the document. He wants to be sure they have a way back. He is also considering the quality of the ink and quill he holds and wondering if it would be too offensive if he signed his name with the far superior quill and ink in his satchel instead.

"The people, the people are Wysto, not the place!" the bespectacled man impatiently states. "You know Wysto, right? The fisher's of Galasir's waters?"
As he speaks, the door to the order opens, and Harmony steps into the chaotic building. Those in the order's employ are so busy moving from task to task that they barely note her exotic appearance, though the man that Abraxas and Garu have been speaking to certainly does, stopping mid speech. "Please tell me she's with you," he says in a nervy voice.

"Harmony!", Garu exclaims, walking over to her and taking her hand. "So glad you made it."

(OOC - Sorry, had some BS come up the last couple days)
Aisha's ears perk up curiously at Mro's admission Oh? Mitsi this one thinks, but her name is slippery from the mind. Too close to other names, as you just mentioned. Aisha is nyot sure of the name of the place we are to be going... But we are here because of some location, posessing powerful things to claim or return them to the city. Obviously you understand which Aisha would prefer considering the... difficulty of our task. On Vandyr? That was much easier than expected... Not to denote any efforts made by anyone but it was far too simple to overcome compared to what it should have been... and what if we had failed to stop it? Aisha would nyot like to fight a god, or the avatar of one with a simple wooden bow... hopefully she is getting through.
So it seems fate has brought us together, or purrhaps the roll of the dice from some being in control... In any case, it seems we both have a destination, and it happens to be the same place. Will you be taking this one to Skogyr? Aisha is sure they have a bath in there somewhere...

Abraxas smiles at Harmony. He is very glad to see her.
"Actually, no. We don't know the fishers of Galasir's waters." Abraxas stands up straight, increasing the distance between himself and the contract. He has begun to hold the quill and ink like a dirty diaper. "I'm excited to hear about them. But first, how will we get back from Galasir's waters?"
Death on the Water and Baldur's Gate Bodyguard
Harmony walked into the building, so surprised and smiling as she saw Garu and Abraxas. "Abraxas, Garu! I'm so glad to have found you guys. It looks like you ended up getting here first. I haven't seen Aisha yet though, hopefully she finds her way here soon." she had said back to them, glad to be with her friends again.
