Sunny Perriwinkle Makes an Entrance, and quite an impression

Suddenly (for such things are always sudden), the door to the Tavern slams open loudly.

Framed by the light of the setting sun, Sunny Perriwinkle strides into view and says to nobody in particular and thus everyone within earshot:

"Hi y'all, I'm Sunny Perriwinkle!"

This important information is presented with a broad smile slightly marred, however, by crooked teeth and what looked to be a long history of indifference to the finer art of oral hygene.

His speech complete, Sunny steps into the room, rather, he attempts to step into the room. Unfortunately, the pommel of his ludicrously oversized bastard sword, which he keeps sheathed in a back scabbard, was projecting up over his head a good five inches, and struck the doorframe as he attempted to move through.

Sunny found himself jerked backward unexpecedly, and was depositied none-too-gracefully upon the threshold, rump to floor.

"Dag nabbit, that doorway must be low," Sunny said, ignoring the laughs of a few patrons.

He stood up, gave the doorway a close look, made a few measurements with his hands and fingers, and loudly proclaimed:

"Yup. Low by a good half-foot. Huh. Who cudda seen THAT one coming?"

Shaking his head, as if in disbelief regarding a mythical carpenter's shoddy workmanship, Sunny strides confidently to the bar and orders a beer. Casually, Sunny waves his fingers over the liquid and it instantly becomes nearly frozen.

"Beer's best cold, you know," he says to his closest bar mate, "particularly beer of this quality."

Then, with a wink and a smile, he scans the room, looking for something -- what exactly, not even he yet knows.

Ilion takes Michael's offered hand gives it a few akward shakes, it's obvious that he is unused to such a form of greeting. "Pleased to meet you Michael of House Grannion. You should visit my home one day. The Sister of Stone has a large following there."

"I may roll in some day and see it. My pa sells a fellow named Davers smoked meats in the winter -- is that the same Davers?"
 

Sunny Perriwinkle looks around and speaks to the room, again:

"So, has anyone heard this one? A human, a gnome, and a beholder walk into a bar together. A buxom waitress immediately throws boiling water on the beholder, accusing it of ogling her. The gnome glances over to the human and...

However, at this point, Sunny stops speaking, as it is made clear that nobody is listening.

Vanitri grins when he sees Rosalynn enter. "I didn't expect to see you again for quite a while, though I had a hunch you might know were I was going before I did." Vanitri waves Rosalynn over and pushes out a chair. "Come on over and join us. No one over here bites. Or at least they haven't yet," he chuckles.

Rosalynn smiled, seeing Vanitri. She ran over to him, jumping on him with a hug. "Big Brother!" she cried. "Thank Mongrel you're safe!" she said happily before sitting down."
 

*Hmm...so she ignores my offer of water and shade, Lasair notes. Well, no matter, she has apparently found the person for whom she was really looking. Nonetheless, it was something to remember.*

"Go on," Vanitri urges. "I don't think I've heard that one." He kicks out another seat from the table and motions to it. "I'd love to hear more."

"Aye, good to see you too li'l sis. But you nearly forgot something almost as important as family." Vanitri grins and points over Lasair. "I think she offered you a drink."

Rosalynn smiled at Vanitry and quickly skipped over to Lasair with an apologetic bow. "I am sorry, in my haste to find my brother I did not hear you. Please allow me to make it up to you." She said in her sweetest voice, giving a genuine smile.

"Ah, hello," says Sunny, smiling broadly to Vanitri (not the most pleasant sight), "nice to meet you there fella! Sure, I'd be happy to join you at a table..."

[Sunny shambles over to Vanitri's table and takes the proffered seat.]

"As for the joke, well, ... Honestly, that's about as much as I can remember. It was an old one from my Nanny, and my Nanny, well -- she wasn't very realiable. I mean, I loved her and everything (when she wasn't hitting the bottle), but the stories should would tell! She would start them, stop them, check the oatmeal, gossip with a neighbor, then return and finish telling the story, but it was a different story from the one she started. Difficult woman, difficult. Nanny. Oh, the memories.

But enough about my nanny! What are you doing in this rather low-grade tavern, sipping what appears to be lukewarm hop-vomit?"

"No harm done," Lasair smiles and laughs gently, "Were I a Holdmistress in my land, such might provoke a water feud between our families, but I am simply a stranger in a strange land, and here, I think, they do not care about such things..."

"I wouldn't doubt it, my great grand-father came from beyond the sea, and he, how to say this, was prolific with the ladies," Ilion chuckles before taking another sip of the brew.

He introduces himself to the new arrivals with a (less akward) handshake.

"So since there seems to be no interesting job offers at the time, what say we do something to occupy the time?" Ilion suggests, "I'm from Riem, far south. Where is everyone else from?"
