City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

[InVinoVeritas]

"Fellow elf, do not worry about the boasts of this... not-elf who claims not to be human. Love and sex are touchy topics, since apparently the act of love makes them go blind, or somesuch oddity. It is one of the strangest things I have learned about the locals."

"Odd. Love making one blind. Never heard that one before."

"Yes, apparently it is said that lovers are blind here.

"You claim to have trouble with men loving you... how much does their blindness affect you and them?"

``I... wha--? You saying you wish me to make you blind?`` Her hand skirted back her cloak to exposed a single dagger sheathed at her hip. Oh she had more, many more, but this was the only one he would be made aware of. Her facial features were stoic when she spoke, but her eyes flashed dangerously. ``I don't make a habit of skewering eyes in taverns, but I can make an acception for you.`` She smirked and puckered her lips blowing him a toxic kiss before returning to the task at hand - drinking.

Quozen beams as the look of realization comes over his face. He bows, smiling widely. "Ah, I see! No, a thousand pardons, young flower, I did not mean to ask for your love. May it remain yours to give."

He turns back to Abdul. "There, that is the explanation! Apparently, the act of love involves the skewering of the eyes. What is that other love phrase I heard? 'I only have eyes for you.' Yes, it is all clear, now. That also explains marriage among humans. With only so many eyes, one cannot simply end a love and start anew. Although... many old people here still have both eyes... love must be very hard to find."

"My joy is unbounded. (Note to self: never fall in love with a human) Is this just a human custom, or a biological requirement?"

"This does, however, raise the question: how do humans survive to adulthood? Obviously, if both parents are blind it is impossible to take care of a small child. The human race should be extinct!" Abdul, while remarking thus, inches slowly away from the crazy human woman with the knife.

Quozen continues musing down this dangerous path. "Ah, then there must be procreation without love. Perhaps that is the institution of marriage?"

 

[WarlockLord]

"Makes sense to me! This would also explain the counter-institution of divorce...replies Abdul.

Rolling her eyes, Payne was thoroughly amused with the two elves that knew so much about love, sex, and marriage that they could write a book on the matter. ``Clearly it makes no sense that neither of you have met a woman and settled down by now. `` Glancing to Kol, then to Lokin. ``So, now what do we do for work? We've done nearly everything but force someone to employ us. That's an idea.. `` She waggles her brows at Kol - as he was the brute force they brought along with them.

( I haven't missed anyone recruiting for a game, have I? I'm beginning to think that the three of 'em will be here in this tavern for ever. Maybe we've been black listed? )

 

[WarlockLord]

OOC: I'd like a game too. If you need a spell slinger...

"Who is this woman you speak of, who would put up with an albino academic such as myself?" asks Abdul.

(OOC: There will be a huge mega-adventure with multiple games recruiting soon! There's just one thing I need to happen in my slow-moving first game that I thought would be done by now. Plus I'd like my third game to finish too, though that isn't a must.)

 

[Trouvere]

Taelythenihel makes her way down the stairs to the main room, looking refreshed. It is perhaps fortunate that she has not heard the recent musings on love.

Well, if you need a 9th level party, we will have to finish TCotM...

Will this include slots for 1st level characters?
