Amy is very sweaty and has some dirt on her when she walks into the Bar--it was one of those unfortunate Outdoor Chores sorts of days, to head off an argument with Aunt Sharon. It is why, when she walks up to the Bar and orders cold ale, she is rather surprised at the note she gets on a napkin.

"...Will I get paid?" Beat, another note. "Works for me ( Read more... )

Alanna would rather not be here today. Or rather, she would much rather be here catching up with friends and relaxing a bit, because that would mean everything is as it should be at home.

Which it isn'tThayet had been annoyingly sparse on details in her missive. All Alanna knows is that something has happened to a Rider group and she needs to be ( Read more... )

Max is in a somewhat whimsical mood today, at least if his clothing is anything to go by. Unless the bar's playing tricks on him (not this time). A three-piece suit, early twentieth century Earth vintage ( Read more... )

Despite how cold it is around the Bar just now, there's a young man outside in a plain lorica, with both a longsword and gladius, practicing rather intently. He's actually quite good, and if the scars he carries are any indication, he's seen plenty of combat--although the armor looks fairly new by comparison.

[OOC: Millitimed to after this conversation.]

Tavi's always been a rather chipper, friendly boy when in the Bar, which is why it might be strange to see him curled in a corner of a booth, nibbling on a cookie, with an almost surly expression. His neck still hurts a little, and his dignity is even more bruised than that.

[OOM: Pirate's Swoop, Tortall.

The battle, once it begins, is full of surprises.

Raph, Abigail and Jamie are ambushed by a flank attack.
