Bar Stools

[First Lady Jocelyn]

Here there are seven stools arranged around the square bar, each seat is bolted into place prohibit use as weapons.  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

She sat silently perched on the corner stool as she watched the young man enter the main room after weapons check-in. The scent that wafted in with him told her wolf-half that he was human and that he reeked of water and travel. Good afternoon traveler, she said as she moved to a standing position, her summer dress shifted as she did so, We do have some openings and an application would be needed but a name would be a good start. I'm Fayth Nailo, and the little girl is Kristina she said pointing to the small child behind the counter playing with two younger twin boys who were entertaining themselves with some toy cars, and they are Damien and Keith, my twin sons. her sons looking up as they heard their mother's voice say their names. Their father and my fiancee is Wolfe Nailo but he isn't here right now. Anyways, come, sit. she said as she motioned for him to sit at the stool nearest to her.

The woman who had introduced herself as Fayth seemed nice enough. Maybe he had finally found somewhere safe. She looked human, but Michael knew appearances could be deceiving.

"My name is Michael." he said, "I don't know that I can offer much in the way of a resume, but I did some work for the bar back home." He scratched his head awkwardly, "I can do this though."

He motioned with his hand and pulled a bottle of scotch off the shelf behind the counter. The scotch inside the bottle unscrewed the cap and flowed out of the bottle into a glass were the three cubes of ice were settling in.

"And I can do more than one at a time."  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

"Well I see you have an affinity for liquids, water mage perhaps?" she said as she grabbed the scotch on the rocks and said "I think you'll do well" she solemnly spoke her mind on her absent master and fiancee, as she raised the glass and took a sip. "I suppose your wondering what I am right? I mean to open this safe-house and run it I couldn't exactly be human, could I? You would be right. I was born as a were-wolf but my fiancee is a vampire and he tested my blood then when he had the green light he turned me, so in short I'm a hybrid, a true child of Corvin, with the blood of two worlds. As are they she said as she motioned to her three children again.  

[Iblisor]

Michael wasn't sure about all of what she said, but he understood what a werewolf and a vampire was.He was a little bit stunned by her revelations. He hadn't ever met a vampire before and was a little nervous knowing that they fed on the blood of his kind.

"Uh, okay I get the vampire and werewolf stuff but who's Corvin?" Michael asked, "And I've never heard the term water mage before. I just kinda' figured I was weird or something. Never seen anybody else like me."  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

"Dear god! she thought to herself as she set down the glass and put her now free hand to her head in frustration, shaking it as she did so. "Okay, here I go from the top I guess. Corvin was the Head of the Vampire line as well as the were line, and you're not weird exactly just gifted, trust me there's more of you! A Mage is a person with an affinity for any number of the elements, they can use the abilities during times of stress or pain or whenever really. You seem to be a water mage given that you can do what you did here. she said as she motioned to the glass. "But you are going to need to know what your dealing with when this place gets hopping, there are going to be people and species that you aren't going to know of here." she said as she jumped off her bar stool and walked silently to the wall of books near the bar and returned with a leather bound book by the title of "The Newert's Encyclopedia of Majikal Creatures" and handed it to him. "This should help" she spoke as she re-perched herself.  

[Iblisor]

((OOC:sorry been a busy week. And Yes, he is naive and oblivious by design. He's from a small town.))

"Oh, that's a big book"

Michael shrugged and cracked his neck, "I guess I better get started huh? Oh, is there a room I could rent or something? I don't really have anywhere to stay."  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

OoC: Don't worry love, we all have our busy moments!

"What usually happens with our employees is they will receive a paycheck and a dividend of it is set aside for housing, so yes is the answer your looking for. Have you any luggage?" she asked in all seriousness as she stood motioning for him to follow her. "This is our bunking area." she said as she led him across the floor and to the right to the corridor that had several doors on each side. She pulled the key from the knob and handed it to him."For the love of god don't loose this, it will be the only one you get and you don't want any unwanted visitors...trust me." she said almost with a laugh. The layout of the room was similar to that of a suite hotel room. It had a full-sized bed with television and stand before the bed and a table beside it to the left by the door is a small but functional closet. The small room to the back was a kitchenette and beside that was the bathroom. "If you need anything there is a small country store nearby and they can get you most of what you will need that we can't provide for you. We are not a hotel service so that does include toiletries, clothes and, linens." she spoke as she finished welcoming the man by telling him that his first month was free so that he could afford the necessities he lacked.

Celis came walking into the bar. He had noticed that there was one bartender and a woman sitting on a stool. He walked over to one of the stools and sat down. Saying to the bartender "Hey there pal can I get an AMF please. He had noticed there was only the two of them and the barkeep. He looked around something seemed off. There was a smell in the air that he had smelt before. It was the last time his relative came by. But this one was different. For the time he shook it off and took his drink.  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

"Hello there." she said her light voice masking the effects of her wolven blood that tended to darken her voice when she wasn't concentrating on hiding her blood lineage. "I do believe you are the one named Celis, are you not? I reviewed your application and you will find that you need to go back to the little room before the door and check in all of your weapons then we can speak freely." she said pausing for a moment noticing the tension growing in his neck then spoke again" Are you alright? You look like you've caught a scent, dear wolf."  

[zenraven]

As a grin slid over his face . He set his drink down and stood up. Saying to her " I am sorry, i didn't know it was that type of bar" . He walked over and set his weapons on the table. Coming back to sit down he had realized that she had called him "dear wolf". His suspicious thought was right, she was of wolf kine. Sitting back down he addressed her with more respect. Now that she was the owner and knew who he was he spoke more loosely " you are right about that my name is Celis, and yes i am looking for a job here. I didnt realize that i would be in a place like this. I mean I dont mind. I just have not seen one of my kind for a while now.". Taking a large sip of his blue drink  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

"Well then..." she said again motioning to the three children behind the bar, "meet the youngest of the true Corvin line, my children. Kristina, Damien, and Keith. The boys are twins and the other is their older sister. She smiled as she began to release the locks she had in place to hold her in human form and slowly began to leak into her wolven form. "Remember you are among friends." she said, her soprano voice deepening into a full alto.  

[zenraven]

Seeing her change had brought back a great deal of memories from his past . As he pushed through them all he looked over the bar and said with a grin " Well well, True childern of Corvin huh. This indeed is a rare honor from what I have heard." The grin shifted to a smile he was quite pleased to hear that he was welcome for once saying " Thank you , Its good to know.  

[First Lady Jocelyn]

Her human body form now gone she turned to the other wolf and almost challenged him to change and prove his strength as a wolf. Such was her nature as a female beta wolf. She was bread to be a beta and would be one day. A rare smile formed as her top lip curled slightly then she sat on her haunches and waited ears folded back slightly. And there she waited.

OoC: I will be logging off shortly, perhaps I'll be able to post again before I go....depends on hoe fast you reply.  

[zenraven]

He tried not change so rapidly. But her form was calling to him . He knew that if he did not change she would rip him apart. And so he let the change roll over him. His hair turning to a light grey, Eyes turning crystal blue. As he was breathing deeply they turned to growls, He said in a rumbling voice " I hope you dont mind your bar getting torn to shreds if you really want to go through this." As his claws extended they were black in color. He stood there brooding over her in waiting.
