[QUOTE="Lazlow, post: 2284055, member: 24242"] [b]New girl in town[/b] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]"What a gorgeous day, I wish everyday was like this."[/COLOR] At the sound and sight of the doors being flung open, all but the most inebriated patrons immediately turn to see what the hubbub is (as if there wasn't enough already). And at the sight of the darkly beautiful and scantily clad female that stands there framed by the open doors, those inebriated patrons quickly sober up as their eyes pop open and their jaws fall down. The few womenfolk there are in the tavern seem to sink inward at the sight of the exotic woman - just before they kick their men in the shins for ogling. [COLOR=Sienna]"Have a seat dearie and I'll be with you straightaway,"[/COLOR] Muirna says, having emerged from the kitchen holding a tray laden with steaming dishes and an impressive bottle of wine, and seemingly unaffected by the bewitching presence of this unorthodox (for these parts, anyway) woman. She pauses at the bar to pick up a clean rag and snap Sunderkeg's agape jaw back into place before making her way over to the table where the tall, gaunt human sits. Setting everything down with an expert flair she says, [COLOR=Sienna]"I think you'll find everything to your likin', sir. Shall I run ye a tab?" [/COLOR] Despite the simple, rustic presentation of the soup and meat, it does indeed smell amazingly good. [color=DeepSkyBlue]"Hey barman, gimme a, well gimme the special if you have one of those and be quick we're thirsty."[/color] At the sound of the woman's dulcet tones, Sunderkeg snaps back to attention, wiping a spot of drool off of his beard. The patrons also seem to perk up a bit at the mention of "The Special". Indeed, the dull murmur of quiet conversation all but disappears, and those who were sitting with their backs to the bar turn around to face it. Sunderkeg strides over, wiping his hands on a rag, a wide grin on his face. He says nothing as he reaches down under the bar and pops back up with a small crystal glass and what looks to be an obsidian carafe. He puts these on the bar with a flouish and a wiggle of his bushy eyebrows, then reaches down again and takes out a clay jug stoppered with a cork and marked with "XXX" on the side. He then reaches into a pocket and pulls out some goggles, which he then dons, afterwards pulling on some thick leather gloves. He uncorks the jug, pouring a bit of what's inside into the glass with a quiet little *burble*, filling it about two-thirds of the way up. It looks mostly clear, with a hint of an amber color. He corks the jug tightly and puts it back under the bar, afterwards pulling up a pair of long-handled tongs. Using the tongs, he [I]caaaaaaaaaaarefully[/I] takes the stopper off the top of the black carafe, which seems to elicit some strange, almost ghostly *waaailling* noises as a thin whisper of smoke rises out from the top. He [I]sloooooooowly[/I] pours about one or two drops into the glass, and as it mixes with the amber liquid, it begins to swirl about wildly, seeming to swirl faster and faster as the seconds pass.
