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

[Zero Nehoshi]

Mikila looked at the door. Sitting down and waited silently and patiently. She would stare at the door. Hoping that she'd maybe hear movement outside tinkering. Her ears perked up as did she when she heard the tinkering stop. Standing up and watched the door open. "Anasi?" She blinked as he spoke. "Looking for you. After Bill helped me calm from bad dream from mean ghostie." She said softly. Looking up at him. "Anasi if I stay out of the way and quiet can I pwease watch you work?" She asked hopefully but still softly.

Remy answered presently, slipping into the hall. In the brief time that the door was open, Kristen could see that Henge was curled on the bed, presumably asleep, wrapped tight about a large egg.

Door shut, he gave the blonde a lopsided grin. "Hey, Kris. What's up?"  

[Dart Edigoa]

Dart woke up hours later. He didn't even realize he had fallen asleep. yawning and stretching out. He blinked a bit as he stood up and stretched out more. His back popping. He remembered he had brought seeds for a triple herbal hybrid he had naturally cross pollenated into an herb called ghost herb. It was three different herbs. Maybe there was someone here who gardened? He stretched and bones popped. Walking to the bar.

"Apparently, a dragon's nest and apocalypse prevention duty," Kristen answered in a whisper, not wanting to panic the masses. "Abigail was very angry before, and in the fire..." She shook her head. She couldn't understand why they were so unsettling, those eyes.

"I suppose it is fortunate to have not only Miss Charlotte, but also Orrin with us, is it not?"

"A nightmare, huh...? I can relate to that," Tyler stretched, remembering the visions that plagued his already spotty sleep. "I'm not sure I can let you in here, though. My room is dangerous. Trapped."  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Yeah, I heard..." he grimaced, patting her shoulder. "But, you know...until the monkey skull starts ringing, there's not much we can do, yeah? It's not as if anything bad happened today, right? Charlotte's here, Orrin's here, that Law guy's split..."

Sighing, the vampire grinned sheepishly. "One day at a time, Kris."

Charlotte slipped out of Felix's room with a sigh. She was grounded from sleepovers for an entire week, but at least her darling Wolfy wasn't cross. but where were the rest? They should have arrived by now...  

[Azana Brown]

Orrin was in the main room already, seated at the bar and asking for water. He was still a little shaky on his new legs, but at least he could walk with some grace. The floor made him grimace a little.

"...this much over restructuring," he tutted. "Where are the keyholders...?"

"Zulma just got back," Azana reminded him. "But she needs to rest that arm of hers. The spray did a lot, but she's still tired."

"I'm not entirely sure that rest is what she's looking for," Terry smirked, sipping on his water as if it were fine wine. "But anyway, I'm assuming all clear?"

"I know," Kristen nodded, leaning against the wall. "I just...it makes me think of that asylum. I felt...so small back then."  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Gren's out on vacation with his husband...Eli's birthday was fairly recently." smiled Charlotte, sneaking under Orrin's arm for a cuddle. "Yeah, Terry, all's well...and don't worry, sweetie. The floor will get fixed in time, you know? I'm just glad that you survived intact."

Remy nodded, frowning slightly. "...I barely helped any, myself...but then, maybe that's why we're the ones who got the heads-up."  

[Zero Nehoshi]

Mikila looked at him. Blinking up at him. Nodding her head and stayed silent. Looking at him. "Can I watch if I sit quietly in the doorway Anasi?" She asked softly. Hopefully. If not she would understand. Though looking inside she didn't see traps. She wondered if he had them hidden. Everything in there had ways around or safely over or under but she wouldn't argue with Tyler. She respected him even if she didn't get what he meant.  

[Zulma san]

Lin blinked at Terry, then nodded. Being humble was part of her culture, yet it was somewhat heartwarming to hear the man's words. The praise was gentle and she was torn between not wishing to be arrogant and yet feeling happy about it.
"Thank you Terry-san."
Then the teamaster moved to the kitchen to show Kenos how to prepare something simple: a sandwich. She explained to the soldier the main ingredients, what could be put between the two pieces of bread, then the different condiments.



Zulma had stayed out of the inn for a moment, she needed some air. The GMO HQ had felt so overpowering as if the walls were closing on her. So despite the chill outside, she enjoyed a short walk before making her way in.

When she stepped in she smiled. "Hello." she did look a little tired. Her arm was more than manageable now but she entire body felt like it had been battered up. The price to pay when one uses such strong powers. That will teach me! she though as she moved towards the group, happy to see Orrin and Charlotte together. Her golden eyes however looked around for a certain someone with glasses, but Tyler did not seem to be in sight.


Jeff gave some space to Violet as she started to draw again. "I will be right back." he told her as he moved upstairs towards his room in search of a book that way he could sit next to Violet without disturbing her.
As he arrived in the hallway, he spotted Mikila with Tyler.
"Hey Tyler. Hey Shrimp." said the teen coolly.  

[TimeKeys]

Kenos stood as Lin moved towards the kitchen. He didn't say anything just followed her. He had a glitching moment where he wished he could just be him and not have to worry about all this confusing things bouncing at him all at once. Then he wished it was easier to understand them outside definition or concept. Just as quickly it was smothered and gone. No longer thought about even on a subconscious silent level. He watched her and his eyes took on a slightly glazed over look. Like something memorizing almost computer like everything she explained. In extreme detail. He watched her and would memorize it so he could hopefully recreate it. He nodded his head to show he understood. "Thank you Lin-san." He said with respectful gratitude but exactly as he had before his mental meltdown. He was happy. It showed though in his eyes briefly to have learned something new.  

[Azana Brown]

"...perhaps," Kristen grinned weakly. She had been out there, among Horsemen and demigods and djinn, and all she could do was wish. "Fate has chosen stranger players. I should know."

"..." Tyler looked down to the earnest young girl. Was she serious? He never kept his door open, and he wouldn't turn off his traps to a stranger. On the other hand, shutting the door in her face was heartless.

This is why I'm not really into kids, he thought with a nasal sigh. Jeff offered a willing distraction, and he gave a nod of greeting. "Hello, Jeff. Ah, there's an idea...Mikila, have you met Violet? She's a very nice lady, and she makes pretty pictures." Anything to be out of his awkward situation...this door never stayed open this long. Either he was leaving, or someone came in. No in-betweens.

"No problem. You deserve it," Terry smiled, looking over to Zulma. "Maybe you should check upstairs." He didn't need to be psychic; her eyes wandered to the two tumblers and the slightly-more-empty bottle of rum. With the all-clear, there wasn't much reason to stay. Well, except for Stella...hopefully she had fully recovered from the Wand test by now.  

[Gren_Eckener]

Patting Kristen's shoulder, Remy offered a weary smile, nodding in full understanding. "At least they left the archiving of what was and what may be to clever hands...who else has a nigh-photographic documentary of an alternate timeline, huh?"  

[Zero Nehoshi]

Mikila looked up at Jeff. "Hi Giant." She said. Waving her hand a bit. She looked at him. Blinking a bit and shook her head. "No thanks. I am sure she makes pwetty pictures. Someone said so to someone else. She was drawing Layla when she burnted her tiger fwiend a bit. Pictures are not calming and keep occupied like what daddy and anasi do." She pushed up onto her feet. "Thanks anyways Anasi. I just try meet halfway so I could watch. I watched daddy and learned stuff and was at ease." She smiled and hugged him. "I leave you now. Bye Anasi." She said. She turned and started to walk away. She was happy Anasi was nice about it but she would rather watch him work with science than watch Violet draw.  

[Azana Brown]

"..." Tyler grimaced, inwardly groaned, and rolled his eyes to the heavens. To most people, her request would have seemed perfectly reasonable. A minor war waged behind his eyes, his own paranoia matched with the girl's earnest curiosity and bizarre attachment to him.

"...Mikila," he called at last, hoping she wasn't out of earshot. Trust was hard, and it wasn't there yet, but she had promised to stay out of the way. She just had to hold to that, he supposed.

"With you, dear, I had little doubt," Orrin smiled, nuzzling her frizzy hair lightly. "Merry Midwinter, Charlotte. Let's make sure we enjoy it a bit more than usual."  

[Gren_Eckener]

"And a happy Saturnalia! I'm looking forward to seeing the sun rise, and not just some ball of hydrogen fire."

Giggling, Charlotte nuzzled upward. "So you and Nirro are a little more merged, are you? Makes for an easier transition, with less flare and more sarsaparilla?" grinned the lass, all mischief. "We're gonna have to come up with an explanation for the townies here, on how this works...you levelled up?"

She waved to Zulma, grinning. "Sorry about the floor!"
