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

Remy grinned at the orb. "You're set, babe! I bet you'll knock 'em outta the park."

Gren held her hand carefully as he sled from her room. "Classes going okay?"

At Shadow's outburst, Remy waved his hands, leaning back a little. "Whoa, whoa. Calm down. That would be a function of human fear, dude. They've been burned in a big way, so yeah, they allow people of all sorts to live in here, but there's no way to bottle up a lotta fear. It's like how us vampires get the racist treatment too; these things happen. Co-existance isn't easy. But hey, we're workin' on it, okay? There's only so far idealism can carry in reality."

"What he said," Max echoed, gesturing to Remy. "Some a us don't like it much, but we gotta girl here who kinda panics when she sees demons. She's gettin' better, but what happened to 'er kinda soured a lotta peeps feelin's toward 'em. Mal's cool, though!" She smiled and offered a thumbs up, friendly up until the moment she was in mortal danger.

"We're gonna fix it, Ty and I and Remy! Mal's gonna be all embraced, and life'll be good!"

"Yeah," Violet grinned weakly. "I'm glad to be out of painting...sculpting is weird, though. I just wish...that they'd let me draw." She walked through the hallways with Gren, feeling a lot better somehow...  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Well, that's art school for you..." he tried, giving a small grin. "I went to school for music, and boy, did I hate some of the things I had to do. They had me in composition, even."

Shadow looked over and let his head fall his pitch black hair falling about his face. "Indeed i know this for as long as i have lived wich is eons and eons ago it has been the same but when i came here i became the guardian of the place because this is a place where all no matter aliegance can seek solstice and saftey and why i passed its guardian ship to my daughter Zulma." Shadow looked up and at the people who spoke to him his eyes not glowing red this time but was giving a faint white light glowing behind them. "But haven a place of neutrality is one thing but making it so that ones nature changes because of it is another." Shadow sat his massive frame down on the stool at the bar and looked at them "I am glad to see that there are still people that believe this here for i have been gone for a very long time and i wish to find those that knew of me then my name is Shadow and as i stated before i am Zulma's father." Shadow stood from the stool and turned to them and bowed in a old fashion showing respect.  

[Azana Brown]

Violet chuckled lightly. "But you play jazz...!" She said, shaking her head. "Though...I can see why...but sculpture for someone who just draws...? Well, I guess it's not too bad. Jeff showed me a place with lots of clay..."

Her voice trailed off as she descended the stairs and looked ahead. She froze, letting out a quiet squeak. Suddenly, food and social time really didn't appeal to her.

"Ho, boy," Max rolled her eyes. "Speakin' a which...Vi, this is Shadow. He an' Zulma go waaaaaay back!"  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Ha ha! Oh man, I'm terrible at composition, let alone sculpting..." he chuckled, blinking at the squeak, holding her hand a little tighter for comfort as he looked for the cause. "Oh, hello Shadow. Been a while, hasn't it?"

Remy shrugged. "Who said anything about changing alignments? We're just tryin' to get along, not convert one another."

At Max's explanation, Gren leaned over and murmured "Adopted father." to Violet.  

[Raigon The Ice Titan]

"Forgive me for i did not mean to say in that manner what i meant was this place was created to teach a tolerance if not a sense to make comrades among those that otherwise would not have the chance to be of such. But when there is trauma i agree but no converting." Shadow gave a bellowing laugh that seemed to echoe everywhere. Hearing a small squeak Shadow turned his head his eyes glowing white at this time before he smiled his canines receding giving him a semblance of human teeth smiled softly at the young lady. " Fear not young one you have nothing to fear from he ever." Then looking up he saw a familiar face and smiled wolfishly. "How have you been fairing old friend? and yes it has trully.... been a long time."  

[Azana Brown]

Violet stuck close to Gren, watching Shadow cautiously. This was Zulma's father...? She found it hard to believe, but Gren wouldn't lie to her. "...hi..." She greeted him quietly, a glimmer emanating from the stones on her copper bracelet. He spoke, assuring her no fear...but it was such a friendly tone from Gren that calmed her down. Was this for real...? Were there good demons, too?

Max watched the conversations, arms folded. "I just hope we can talk down the cranky angel without losin' 'er, ya know?" She leaned to Remy. "I dunno what kinda bad stuff there is for breakin' contracts with the good guys..."  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren nodded, smiling crookedly. "It's been crazy, Shadow...but things are looking up. What kept you?" He let Violet keep close, easing gently down the stairs, letting himself keep between her and the demon.

Remy hummed. "Well, angel chick's a little vindictive, but if she didn't kill me indiscriminately, then odds are looking good that we can negotiate. I mean, Mal has proved he's on the level, and if she leaves in a huff in the middle of duty, how bad do you think she's gonna look to the big man?"  

[Raigon The Ice Titan]

Shadow got a weird feeling. "What have i missed old friend i have a feeling that my aid will be needed if it will be accepted." Shadow looked around and could shake the feeling that there was something amiss here. "I may no longer be the guardian of this place but it doesnt mean that i cant help out old friends now does it?" Shadow laughed puting his blades on his hip knowing that despite him trying because of the way that he looked he always looked imtemidating to those that do not know him. "TO tell you the truth my friend i have gone in searching of a few thing for myself and for the inn but that can be talked about at a later time."  

[Azana Brown]

"Yeah...we can play this," Max nodded, trying to think slightly devious as she idly played with her new choice of materia. "I mean, she's gotta support good, right? An' Mal's doin' a lotta good bein' here...an' she's not fully here. She acts through Az, so her judgment's gotta stand for somethin', too, right?"

Violet followed, peeking around Gren and feeling a bit bold with her bracelet. She separated from the Innkeeper, creeping off to the kitchen for some food...Shadow's hand on his blade hastened her pace, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she got there.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"We'll see if it comes to that...right now, it's recuperation time, then planning." smiled Gren, sighing a little at Violet's scuttle. "Ah, Shadow? Mind letting go of the katana? Vi there's a little scared of you."

Remy nodded, grinning. "We have a good case, I think."  

[Raigon The Ice Titan]

Shadow smiled softly. "Sorry habit." Shadow let go of his blade and then looked to Gren and after the young lady and frowned slightly. "What has happened to that poor young one that would make her so skittish if you dont mind me asking?"  

[Azana Brown]

"I'll go all Phoenix Wright on her a**!" Max cheered, punching the air with a beaming smile. "So, um, I should probably, y'know, get ready an' stuff, right...? Like the A-team does?"

Violet looked through the refrigerator before humming in thought and checking the pantry. She got an idea, a wonderful idea...perhaps a peace offering to the scarier residents. First, she had to find a really, really big pot...  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren sighed. "Ah...how to put this lightly...survivior of demonic abduction ans abuse."

Remy nodded, grinning. "First things first, hardest task: pick out your theme song!"
