Wes's Hell/Heaven

Quote from DryRuinss >>

* Darn uhh, okay I'll just roll it on my sheet*

Insight: 18

The girl in front of you looks young... barely more than a child. She's clearly scared, uncertain of herself. But in spite of her clear unease, there's a little bit of an edge to her. Something noble. You can sense a kind of courage that is nothing like the bravado of shining knights. A willingness to do what must be done even when every instinct tells her to run.

She has a letter in her hand, clutched tight to her chest, tucked inside a torn gold-filigree envelope that someone clearly opened inexpertly.

Quote from Mister_Whisker >>

Peanut lets out a little squeak and does her best to retreat further... but she's officially run out of room to retreat from the noise, the speculation, and her own jumbled thoughts.

You have no cause to be fearful of them, Lady Althea tells Peanut. Come now gather thy courage and find out if they are the others that were called upon to perform acts of heroism. And if they truly mean you harm, then I will come to your aid.

Peanut nods, then carefully scoots a bit closer to the two newcomers and the black-haired woman.

"Um... excuse me," Peanut says tentatively. "Did... did any of ya'all perhaps get a letter that's what brings you here?"

 Min looks up. “Why do you wish to know?”

Quote from Wes__ >>

Zunrus + Min: 

Your conversation hasn't attracted much attention, as everyone seems to believe that you're already acquaintances. A couple of people eye Zunrus as she sits down, mostly for her shoving her way up to the bar, but you're able to chat without any interruptions. 

Peanut: 

A couple people have begun to glance your way, somewhat suspicious of you. Although you whisper, the tavern is drowsy at this time of day, and sound carries to those who look for it. They don't make any moves towards you, but they---a pair of dwarves and a human nestled nearby in a corner----have begun to mutter to themselves, and a bit of it carries. 
"Think she's a demon?"
"A spy?"
The human laughs at the dwarves' speculation: "Naw, she's just a nutter."

Erik:

You receive the undivided attention of the place as soon as you walk in shouting. There's dead silence for a couple of seconds as people begin to size you up, but ultimately decide not to engage, keeping the peace...for now. Still, only a cold stare and the loud squeaking of a glass being cleaned greet you at the bar.

"What d'you want?" the woman asks seedily, her eyes narrowing. "A drink, or are y'just here to cause a disturbance?"

 “I CRAVE ADVENTURE! And do you have anything with cactus juice? I’m PARCHED.”

Erik: 

"Cactus juice?" The woman looks around and laughs heartily, several others picking it up as she wheezes for air. "Did I hear you correctly, my lord? Have I insulted Your Majesty?"

((As far as Erik can tell, they seem to believe that something like cactus juice is either something exotic and reserved for the nobility or almost nonexistent.))

Peanut nervously holds up her gold envelope for Min to see.

Peanut nervously holds up her gold envelope for Min to see.

 "I know the envelope that you are talking about. Why do you ask about it?"

Peanut nervously holds up her gold envelope for Min to see.

 "I know the envelope that you are talking about. Why do you ask about it?"

 "I... I just reckon I should know who I might be partnered with if I been called on a mission for the rich folks'," Peanut says.

a human with 2 scimtars and a tattoo comes running in, as if late for something.

(pant pant) "one glass of wine please!" he says this, than puts down a gold piece. "extra fast!"

 "Ah. Then yes. I did get one of these envelopes." Min holds up her letter, which probably looks the same except for the name: Dae Min.

calter glances it and sees the envalope. "Hey!" he runs over. "I got one too!" he sheaths his scimtars and pulls it out. "The name's Calter. Calter Highlord!"

Peanut looks at Calter... and she immediately breathes a sigh of relief. She was a little worried that she might be the only one who was called upon. She gingerly reaches a hand out to Calter for a shake.

"My name is Penelope," she says with a nervous smile. "But folks just call me 'Peanut.' It's nice to meet you."

 calter shakes peanut's hand. he then looks at min. "I feel the same way. I don't think I could do almost anything by myself. lucky me, I have a knack for making friends." he says this while alternating where his focus is, between the 2 people.

 Min nods, and stares off into the distance. She seems almost kind of haunted by something? But she shakes her head, pulls out her flute, and begins playing an upbeat melody.

 *the stare.*

Peanut watches Calter dancing, not sure what she should do... then she feels a ghostly hand on her shoulder.

Go on, Lady Althea says, her smile audible though the spirit is invisible. Show your spirit, girl! I always enjoyed a good dance in the tavern; I think it will do you some good as well.

Peanut hesitates, then she steps forward towards Calter.

"Would... would you like a dancing partner?" she asks with a shy smile, a few strands of messy brown hair falling in her face as she looks down at the floor in embarrassment. "I don't reckon I'm any good... but I can follow the steps."
