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

[Gren_Eckener]

Noting the ever-shifting spider's retreat onto the top of the piano, Gren followed its stroll, and then noticed MacPere. He hoped that his friend didn't mind mythical beasts or large arachnids and grinned sheepishly as he played the end of the song, fading out to the final few notes, letting them linger a little in the air after they'd been struck.  

[Pure Moriko]

Moriko, seeing that Arachne had decided to not jump, settled back down. Listening to the simple, intricate symphony of voice and piano. She heard them hit all the chords in sync and decrescendo beautifully. Even the rests were finely crafted. Neither overpowered the other, they both stayed in perfect balance. When the music hit its finally note, echoing into the quiet inn, she opened her eyes, kind of sad to hear it go.  

[MacPere]

MacPere sighed as they finished, smiling and opening his eyes to look at Gren, not noticing the creatures until the spider shifted slightly, a childish cry escaping his lips at the shock of it.

He clamped a hand over his heart and sank to the floor, murmuring to himself how it was only a spider and it wouldn't hurt him, it was only a spideer and it wouldn't hurt him...  

[Pure Moriko]

The spider saw the tailed man fall to the floor, and decided to jump down to his chest to see if he was alright, but before she could do that she was grabbed by the piano player and handed over to Moriko. Tatsu, meanwhile, stayed put on the piano. After seeing the man faint, Moriko ran over to him, after putting the spider on the table and telling her to stay.
"What?" the spider asked in animal talk. "He's scared of spiders. Your not helping," Moriko replied and put the spider down. "I'm not helping?" the spider wondered, trying to figure out what she had done wrong.
Moriko knelt over the man and fanned him, "At least his reaction isn't as bad as my sis's when she's really scared of something," she thought to herself. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked the tailed man, earnestly worried.  

[MacPere]

MacPere shivers violently on the floor, hands reaching out to try and feel his way back to his feet. "I-I'm fine, dear, j-j-just fine..."  

[Pure Moriko]

"I'm sorry," Moriko said, helping the man back up. "Are you arachnophobic like the other two?" she asked.
She turned to Tatsu, "Could you go get some water Tatsu and watch Arachne?" Tatsu nodded, and glided over to the bar to fetch a glass of water. After giving it to Moriko, he glided over to where Arachne was at and made sure she stayed away from the tailed man.
Moriko handed the man the glass of water, "Here, this might help."  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren sat still, having watched all of this. He was disappointed in himself for freezing as MacPere fell, and scolded himself internally for losing his edge that way, just because it might have been poisonous or the dragon may have bit.

Silently, he helped MacPere over to a comfier chair with a back, shooting concerned looks his way.  

[MacPere]

"I... T-Thank you..." MacPere took the cup and drained it in one go, thanking Gren as he was lead to a chair. Deepening his breathing, having to be walked to a chair... It was all rather embarassing. "It's... A... A pathetic thing to be scared of, huh?"  

[Gren_Eckener]

"I don't think so. Most people I've met are afraid of spiders. Besides which, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who isnt' afriad of something."  

[Pure Moriko]

The spider tried to scuttle closer, but the dragon snapped at her, stopping her before she could get off the table. The spider stopped, she had done something wrong, but what did she do wrong? All she had done was sit on the top of the piano, she even resisted the urge to jump. She looked at the man, hoping he would be alright.
Tatsu just stared at the spider while she muttered to herself. "Does she know about arachnophobia?" he thought to himself, "Probably not."
Moriko followed the black-haired man and tailed man to the chair, hoping she could do something. It was her friend who had frightened this man, so she felt responsible. "Can I get you something?" she asked as she took the man's now empty glass.  

[MacPere]

"W-Well then, what are you afraid of, Gren~?" MacPere attempted to ask in his usual smooth tone but instead sounded wobbly and overally unsure of where he was.

"A-And no thank, dear... I am fine."  

[Pure Moriko]

Moriko retreated, thinking that if she was no use then she shouldn't butt in any more. Plus, the tailed man had just asked his friend a personal question. She felt that she shouldn't just rudely learn about this man's secret.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Well...among other things, bees. More specifically, hornets and wasps. I can deal with bumblebees and honeybees if they're on the other side of the window, but..."

He shuddered at the thought of a hornet in his apartment, and the hour of terror in hunting down and beating it to death, all the while freezing up in case it flew off in a rage and decided to attack.

"...Yeah."  

[Pure Moriko]

Moriko had reached the table where Arachne and Tatsu were at. With nothing to do, she looked into the glass. "I better wash this," she thought. She headed to the kitchen, washed the glass, and put it away. She then came back out. She accidentally heard something about wasps, but tried to get it out of her memory as fast as possible.
