[RP] The Inn of Peace - IoP (Open to all)

[Gren_Eckener]

"Oh, pardon me... I like it a lot of ways, really. Still, if tea's your poison, then so be it." Gren glanced around. "Pretty quiet...Late nights are nice for these things."  

[MacPere]

"Mm~" MacPere placed an arm on the table and flicked his gaze from the rich tea to Gren, head slightly cocked to one side. "... So, we're a secret?"  

[Gren_Eckener]

"We? I don't think so, no...After all, I'd hardly call it a secret when you kiss me in the main room, with a few witnesses. But if you'd prefer we keep things under wraps, I'd go with it."  

[MacPere]

MacPere laughed and wrinkled his brow. "But I assumed--" He shakes his head. "You know what, I'd really quite like to show all what they are missing~"

He examined Gren's face thoroughly with a smile, sighing slightly. "I don't think we need to keep it under wraps, dearest~"  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren chuckled, smiling coyly. "My shyness notwithstanding, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. It's been an awfully long time since I've had such a time. Most of the affection I get is from women and, well, they just aren't my style..."

Gren stood, drained his teacup, and set it into the saucer. He then pressed his lips onto MacPere's forehead after brushing the hair aside, and pulled back, smiling. "But this...this is something I can really appreciate."

He turned quietly and began up the stairs, turning his head over his shoulder, a crooked grin on his cheek. "But for now? It's about time I went to bed."

(Sorry. Early class tomorrow. But I'll leave you with that, and I hope it'll do.)  

[MacPere]

MacPere sighed, almost swooned, at the kiss and sentiments, waving after Gren. "Sleep well, dear~"

He stood and gathered their teacups, placing them in the kitchen sink for him to wash out tomorrow. For now, however, he too would get to bed.

(Ahaha, of course~ I should get to bed too. Sleep tight~ heart )  

[The White Lily]

Zefi woke up some time later and it was bright outside. She read the note beside her.-Hello young one, I am waiting for you when you wake up. Be prepared to show me how much you have learned-Zefi was tired but she had renewed energy and stood up. She used the energy to give her some ability to stay awake. Zefi got herself ready to use some magic and searched through minds in the forest for Mixi, she heard the thought of plenty of random animals but she couldn't sense Mixi just yet. She felt a strong presence to her left and used her energy to shock it quickly. It was deflected back and Zefi dodged it. She levied up and was able to see Mixi. Zefi went up and hugged her. "Thank you so much!" Zefi exclaimed to her."Young one hello. Go back to bed and rest. I will see you later to train you."was her gentle reply.Zefi knew it was best to listen to most people older than her so she did as she was told. She found herself falling asleep quickly and dreaming about... Jeff?

((be back after school))  

[MacPere]

MacPere hummed as he descended the stairs into a desolate inn. It was kind of funny to see it that way; normally filled seats tucked in, buzzing bar retaining all of its drink and the ever-blaring stage in a serene silence.

He promptly walked to the kitchen and washed up the previous night's dishes, placing them in the rack for drying. He made out to sweep by grabbing a broom but the look of the stereo in one corner enticed him.

With constant glances to make sure none were around, he inserted a CD and firmly pressed the play button, kicking off his shoes and sliding to the centre of the room with his socks, singing into the broom's tip.

"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine~!"  

[Angeles Valentine]

Angeles laughed from her corner as she watched and listened to MacPere sing and dance to his music with a broom. She made no other noise and simply smiled at the man, resting her elbow on the table and her cheek in her hand. She was rather the sight to behold, covered in blood, otherwise pale skin, bright green eyes and white hair with red streaks in it. A bag of gold sitting on the table with the sleeping bat Xander on top of it as a sort of guard.  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren stood quietly at the top of the stairs, grinning widely. This was a side of MacPere he liked seeing.  

[MacPere]

After finishing the first verse, and welcoming in the instrumental, MacPere kicked the broom onto his thigh and motioned his fingers over it as though he were playing the track's guitar, hopping to one side and flicking his head back.

Briefly, he caught a glimpse of red and black in the corner of his eye, but quickly dismissed it for his own hair and something else in the background. He dipped to one knee and brought the broom's tip to his mouth as the next verse began, singing in an equal pitch.

"Well they said you was high-classed; well, that was just a lie,

Yeah they said you was high-classed; well, that was just a lie,

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine~!"  

[Valentine Valtieri]

Ultima slid in from outside. He felt much better, and the events of last night were clear. He'd left his shoes outside. Seeing the inn perked up early made him start singing along. He made a descision not to drink that much at one time. "Musicains, what are we to do?" He thought to himself.  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren couldn't help but chuckle a little. This was just plain cute...a little like that Bob Seger video. He hoped that it wouldn't be horribly embarrassing to be caught, not by one, but two people...and one of which was Angeles, looking quite pleased, but in need of a bath.  

[MacPere]

MacPere quickly turned on the balls of his feet as he heard another voice sing along. "Good day Ultima..." He spoke with a hint of suspicion, flicking his gaze around to note a particularly bloody-looking Angeles and smiling Gren.

Oh deary me.

He set the broom straight on the ground and leaned against it somewhat, a hand on one hip. He asked with mock annoyance, "And just how long have we all been watching~?"  

[Angeles Valentine]

Angeles continued to watch, her eyes bright. She felt better than she had in a long while, and the fun of the humans was adding to her mood. The appearance of Ultima didn't even faze her though she kept an eye on him. Perhaps in Zulma's absence Angeles should take care of the inn and the alcohol within. She would be free now until the next bounty came around. She had nothing but time for the moment.

"Since you came down the stairs," said Angeles in response to his question. She smiled at him then stood from her table and clapped. A standing ovation.
