Xing is currently resting his head on the counter. Not in a sleepy way, but in a “sweet mercy give me the release of death to end this boredom” kind of way. He opens his beak just enough to poor some of the mead in, before mumbling a sad trombone noise. He looks over to a Goliath and raises his brow and mutters a gruff, “What?” Which is odd considering his tiny bird body.

Donar is sitting at the bar; not actually drinking his mead knowing that if he starts it'll be nigh difficult for him to stop. Growing up in a bar he is very familiar with this scene and will look around at his fellow bar patrons to see if anyone looks in a talking mood.
Feng is staring unabashedly at Xing. After being challenged, he blinks a little in surprise at the tiny creature's deep voice (still not as deep as his own though).
"Uhh. Sorry. It's just I've never seen a bird ... person ... thing before."
An awkward pause, as he fidgets with his tankard, which looks like a child's cup in his hands.
He reaches out a finger toward Xing ("Don't want to scare the little guy with my whole hand!") by way of a handshake.
"I'm Feng."
OOC: Do we have some sort of standardized font thingy? This is what I've seen so far with a bit of poking around (speech in bold, thoughts in italics, ooc in blue ... at least I think this is blue. I'm colorblind...)
OOC: This is my 2nd PbP. In the other one, the DM said italics (and quotation marks) for speech, bold for Out-Of-Game. Whatever you guys decide. Just don't be surprised if I get confused. :-)

Xing looks Feng up and down, and returns the greeting in an entirely different voice, “Well wadda ya know, the little guy can talk!” Then changes voices again, “Greetings to you, traveler. You may call me,” Oddly enough, the Kenku makes the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath, a resounding “Xing.” And returns the handshake.
Donar will turn around at the sudden sound of a conversation starting and will look at this comical scene; a giant man talking to a bird but really begins to laugh when the bird makes a sword drawing noise. Once he finishes laughing he'll address the Bird Man.
"Excuse me, Bird Man. What did you say your name was?"
DM OOC: So the writing style will be Speech will be in bold with Quotation marks, Thoughts will be italics and out of character will be in a blue font. Any Arguments?
(Correction: OOC can be any colour you want apart from the standard.)
Xing moves his head to look past Feng at Donar, cocks his head, squints, and makes that same noise, “Xing- What’s it to ya- little guy.” While his voice seems to change at different intervals.

"Wow. It's not every day that I meet something like you; Xing (When Donar says Xing name he tries to imitate the sound that he makes but utterly fails) my name is Donar. And you there big guy you said your name is Feng; right?"
Xing nods at Donar and takes a sip of mead, at least now his boredom has been solved. However, the large shield that Feng has with him does seem to catch his eye. Xing gives a soft whistle as he looks at it.

"A bird, a giant, and a devil walk into a bar. I feel like there's a joke there somewhere..." Alexander says, walking up to the bar counter and leaning against it between Feng and Xing. He taps the counter of the bar a few times, trying to get the attention of the bartender. Even in Helson, his city of birth where the less populace races tended to run rampant, the scene at the bar would be a sight to behold. He chuckled at himself, his scales glistening slightly against the light in the tavern. A dark blue coat, reaching a little below his knees, rested on his shoulders. This made quite the contrast to his skin, but he enjoyed standing out.
Feng nods to Alexander, barely registering surprise with all the newness in this tavern.
He turns to Donar.
"I was elected, you might say. We Gathakanathi heard something about a Lord of Sands demon thing and, since I was the biggest and the strongest, I was chosen to come fight it to win glory for the tribe."
He gets excited as he speaks and thumps his shield as it leans against the side of his chair.
“‘I feel like there’s a joke in there somewhere.’- That be the devil- sitting right there.” Xing remarks toward Alexander before mimicking a laughing crowd.

Hadran is content to sip his tea (forest herbs and hot water). Too many sheep in town, that will be slaughtered by whatever evil is coming.
Listening for any tales of trouble. And looking for people that have the strength to fight back the dark days ahead...

DM OOC: Yeah that's probably a good way of doing it.
Xing looks Feng up and down, and returns the greeting in an entirely different voice, “Well wadda ya know, the little guy can talk!” Then changes voices again, “Greetings to you, traveler. You may call me,” Oddly enough, the Kenku makes the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath, a resounding “Xing.” And returns the handshake.
[So something like this, right?]

Which way? (The proofreader in me wants a full style guide!)
Donar will turn around at the sudden sound of a conversation starting and will look at this comical scene; a giant man talking to a bird but really begins to laugh when the bird makes a sword drawing noise. Once he finishes laughing he'll address the Bird Man.
"Excuse me, Bird Man. What did you say your name was?"
OOC: I'm fine with whatever formatting.
DM OOC: So the writing style will be Speech will be in bold with Quotation marks, Thoughts will be italics and out of character will be in a blue font. Any Arguments?
(Correction: OOC can be any colour you want apart from the standard.)
Feng (a little wide-eyed at this New Thing) turns to Donar, pointing at Xing with a grin on his face.
"He says his name is Shing!" And then back to Xing: "Do that thing with your voice again ... can you make it sound like me?"
Xing moves his head to look past Feng at Donar, cocks his head, squints, and makes that same noise, “Xing- What’s it to ya- little guy.” While his voice seems to change at different intervals.

"Yup. Feng Shattershield from the Gathakanathi tribe."
He waves both his hands at them, motioning them to his table.
"Come on." And then, to the innkeeper, "A round for each of them on me."
He tosses a few copper coins at the innkeeper, who catches them deftly.
You notice (if you choose) that Feng's coin purse seems rather empty.
Deducting 4cp for each drink, plus 4cp for Feng's drink. That puts me at 8cp total. :P
"A bird, a giant, and a devil walk into a bar. I feel like there's a joke there somewhere..." Alexander says, walking up to the bar counter and leaning against it between Feng and Xing.

This made quite the contrast to his skin, but he enjoyed standing out.
Donar will gobble over to Fengs table. As he moves over you notice that he is quite short for a dwarft standing only 4 feet tall.
”So Feng what brings you around these parts?”
Feng nods to Alexander, barely registering surprise with all the newness in this tavern.
He turns to Donar.
"I was elected, you might say. We Gathakanathi heard something about a Lord of Sands demon thing and, since I was the biggest and the strongest, I was chosen to come fight it to win glory for the tribe."
He gets excited as he speaks and thumps his shield as it leans against the side of his chair.
“‘I feel like there’s a joke in there somewhere.’- That be the devil- sitting right there.” Xing remarks toward Alexander before mimicking a laughing crowd.
