"Hey! Mind the door, Nys! I can't afford to keep replacing it every time you stop by, you know!" Diedre shouted from behind the bar.

~~~oOo~~~

Desdemona sipped her drink, without ever looking up at the racket. "Calm down, Dionysus. You're the fir-" she flinched "...The second one here." Her pause was due to the unfortunate reminder that Dalton had in fact arrive before the Amazon. Des knew that if she hadn't corrected herself, the archer would have been all too quick to do so.

"You didn't happen to wake any of the others, did you?"

"Oh no~! Sorry, Diedre! I didn't break it again , did I?" Dionysus whipped around to check the door. It was still intact and the hinges were fine. "Phew, that was close!"

"Th-the others?" Nys looked around. She was surprised the bar was empty except for Dalton and the captain.

"No, I woke up alone, so... I don't know where the others are." Dionysus shrugged. She wasn't used to being there before everyone else.

(( Jeez, bonehead. Why are you still awake? lol ))

"Yes it was." Diedre narrowed her eyes. "That new door's made of a rare type of wood from the enchanted forest. I'm glad it's holding up better than the last ones... but it'll cost a fortune to replace, and it's worth more to me than your life, got it?!" She slammed her hands on the bar. "Do keep that in mind."

~~~oOo~~~

"Woke up alone? A pretty girl like you?" Desdemona teased in her usual dry tone. "I guess it can't be helped." she sighed "We'll just have to wait for the others. Although... if they aren't here by high noon, it'll just be the three of us."

~~~oOo~~~

"Don't worry, Lady Desdemona! I'm confident that more of the mercenaries will arrive soon!" Dalton chimed in from his perch across the room. "Mister Danik would never miss a morning workout, and certainly Ms. Kalo is not as hungover as the others!" he expediently deduced.

(you're one to talk! Besides, it's not like I'm busy. )

"Don't worry, I'm ready for ANYTHING!" Dionysus roared. She skipped to the bar beside the boss and plopped clumsily onto the next stool. "Diedre~! I'll have another one of those midnight stouts!"

Name: Connor Blackwood.
Gender: Male.
Age: 22.

Species: Human.

Abilities: Connor is exceptionally skilled in unarmed combat and staff fighting, having learned under the teachings of the hidden master of drunken monkey. In learning this Connor is highly agile, flexible and has learned to harness his inner ki to perform superhuman acts - such as performing a devastating thunderpunch, running up walls or along ceilings, jumping on thin air and other unusual acts. It's also nigh on impossible to beat him in a drinking contest.

Weapons: He himself is the weapon! Though he does also carry a hardwood staff that has a gourd bottle dangling from one end, always filled with some kind of wine. Both are unusually hardy and can take hits from magic weapons without breaking.

Appearance: Connor stands about 5'10" tall with a slim but lean physique, rarely stood up straight. His hair is a distinctive shade of black that seems oddly familiar to people from a certain southern kingdom, and it is a short but messy look - fitting oddly well with a short well-kept beard. His skin is lightly tanned, his eyes a bright shade of blue, and he is rarely found not swaying at least a little bit at all times.

Wearing no armour, only loose fitting clothes that let him move freely - leather travelers boots, dark pants, light shirt, it's incredibly simple and very much akin to a commoner's outfit. His clothes make him out to be a run down peasant, only a certain nobility in his facial features keeps those with a keen eye from dismissing his origins.

Background: Connor Blackwood is the thirdborne prince of the kingdom of Kalamactus to the far south. He was never to inherit the throne, and that was always fine by him. Connor much preferred being the adventurous youth and never took royal duties seriously. One day in his teen years he vanished from the capital, slipping away to live a life of freedom and adventure. By the luck of fate he discovered an old man in a jungle not more than a few

weeks after setting out, and as luck would have it the old fella happily taught the plucky young adventurer his secret techniques.

Skipping ahead past his training and wanderings Connor stumbled into the Branch and Barrel one jolly evening when Desdemona and her crew were having a good drink, which naturally the man gravitated towards and ended up having a grand night of drinking contests and bar room brawls. Diedre hadn't been too pleased by that, but after having such a good time Connor decided to join up with Desdemona's crew and keep drinking Deidre's best wine.

And not that he's aware of it, but he's prooooobably being searched for vigorously to this day by the people from back home. Why? Who knows?

Other: drink

(( Accepted. ))

How unsurprising for members of the prolific mercenary group to immediately follow a night of drinking with a drink first thing in the morning. This band of misfits was beyond hopeless.

"Of course." said Diedre, never one to deny good business. "Just don't forget about your tab, darling." and with that she abruptly poured the drink and plunked it on the bar.

~~~oOo~~~

"I'm not worried. " Desdemona impatiently assured her insistent comrades. Still, she dreaded the thought of being stuck with only the two of them. Though Desdemona was quite fond of the company she'd amassed, it was more to her liking if she could lead silently while they talked amongst themselves. With so small a group she'd no doubt get locked into some inane conversation for the entire trek to the job.

Des shuddered. "Are you sure you put enough nightshade in this drink?"

" Ain't never enough nightshade in a drink. " Came the slightly slurred words of a figure that rose up from behind a series of barrels in the corner of the bar, leaning against the frontmost one and rolling over it lazily to land on his feet - steadying himself with the butt of his staff on the ground. Connor flashed his happy-go-lucky smile and stumbled over to the bar counter, almost falling onto one of the free seats nearby. Judging by his disheveled appearance he'd only just woken up - or maybe he hadn't, since he always looked that way.

His hand went for the gourd dangling from the end of his staff before stopping with a glance at Diedre, remembering her warning about outside drinks. His hand went to the counter instead. " Need a good mornin' pick-me-up over here too DD, if you'd be so kind ta' my parched throat. "

Absently his head tilted to the Captain. " Morning cap'n, gots us a job I heard? "

"That stuff is highly poisonous, you know. Even you shouldn't- " Diedre was interrupted.

George Rozas said :
"" Need a good mornin' pick-me-up over here too DD, if you'd be so kind ta' my parched throat. "


"Oh. This one." Diedre narrowed her eyes. "You know, one of these days you're going to get cut off." she chastised, despite proceeding to prepare the drink anyway.

~~~oOo~~~

"That's correct." Desdemona confirmed, still not looking up. Their posse was now up to four members, which was nearly enough to comfortably head out. Having the full crew assembled was always ideal, but if their current job turned out to be as mundane as it sounded then surely that amount of force wouldn't be necessary. Still, with this ragtag bunch, it was anyone's guess how things would unfold.

"So don't drink yourself to sleep before we get there." Des stated blankly, although truthfully she didn't think that was possible for Connor.

" And that, dear DD, will be the day I die - how'im I going ta' go on without this nectar of the gods you pour for me? " Connor replied, hand outstretched gesturing at the array of the bar's barrels and boozes - his swaying coming dangerously close to sending him tumbling from his precarious perch upon the barseat, yet always he managed to retain his balance.

He swiveled in his seat to face Desdemona at her comment, a feigned look of hurt on his face. " Cap'n you wound me, what kinda man would I be if a few drinks'd put me out for the count? " His lazy grin returned as he leaned against the counter, his staff out of hand and leaning much like he was against the bar.
