She couldn't help but burst out laughing as they made their exit. Those two were quite amusing when she was in the right state of mind for it. Anyways, she turned her attention back to her work, catching anyone she saw wandering in her little trap. 

Not long after a cloaked figure wearing a mask appeared near her upon the roof of the building. She glanced in their direction with contempt before ignoring them to continue with her work. "My lady Lilith, we need to talk. If you wouldn't mind accompanying me to a mire private location it would be appreciated." The masked figure said in a deep voice. She rolled her eyes and sighed, raising her hand for a moment before her magic over the town ceased. "Fine, since you asked so politely." She responded coldly and followed them…

Soon after Alexander fliped her of Bob did the same but now with more conventional middle finger.

She had made her way to the top of one of the buildings to watch her work. Alexander seemed to have his under control but the others, the sailors and random people in the streets, they seemed to be having a bit more trouble. A smirk came to her face as one burly sailor fell to his knees inside of one of her circles, looking up at the imahe of his wife and child who stared down at him coldly.  The image of his wife had told the man what he feared most, she was in love with another and their child, well he wasn't really his. That she had never loved him, in fact ahe hated him. Well that was the short version. She watched in amusement as he crumpled to his knees breaking on the inside before the images of his family…who then pulled out knifes and stabbed him in the heart and slit his throat. 

Similar scenes were happening all over this part of town, physical or mental fears brought forth to start the slaughter, the purging of this filthy race of creatures. She was done giving a damn and in fact would like to usher on their demise. 

Looking down upon Alexander as he started beating up the physical manifestation of his fear, and Bob as he spoke, then transformed to show his true self. With a dark smile she crouched down upon the roof, resting her arms upon her knees as she spoke, "Oh? Spirit of vengeance you say? But what if you could never get your vengeance? What if this transformation into a spirit instead of moving on was all for nothing? His fear appears to be death, or some form of it, but you have already passed that. You have left behind death so what do you have left? Hatred? Anger? Fleeting emotions. If he was to die now by someone else's hands, where would be your vengeance? Or let's say he goes on, lives a long and happy life, has many children, grandchildren, and so on and is adored by all, while you are left to traverse this world as a vengeful spirit. So, wouldn't your fear be … not getting your vengeance? You've given up everything to become what you are. Do you really think souls that have willingly transformed themselves into something so dark would go to a peaceful place once their time was up, that is if they can leave this plain at all after refusing to go once." She let out a little giggle before asking the burning spirit, "So, how would that make you feel? Knowing youd given up any chance of being with your loved ones on 'the other side' to chase this vengeance that you most likely will never get?" She lets magic spark between her fingers and let her eyes slide to them before glancing back in his direction, "Will you be stuck on the plain forever? Long passed the time he dies, or are you here on a limited visa? Perhaps one that can be taken away if gone about in the right way, drain the time upon it."

- Well that bitch just snaped it seems - Was Bob's reaction to the whole darkness eating are up like it is a tasty cookie and Lily's "Interesting" reaction to being punched, or an Overreaction in mind of the Burning Elf, who realy was geting tired of that wierd emo-ish, psycho girl ruining his mission for revenge.
- Also what fears? I am already dead I do not fear anything, seriously girl who do you think you are? Me for example I am a bloody spirit of vengence that came here to punish Mr. Alexander over here for setting me on fire and killing me in the process - he said while pointing at Lily with his hand that got less fleshy all of the sudden and not just his hand his entire body now took a more ghastly apearence with his skin begining to fall of him in certain places reaviling bones and other things, when his tranformation stoped he looked like a half burned corpse which was to be expected from someone who suposedly died from burning alive. While this was happening Alexander was well in quite a predicament, as he was still just a mortal man and not a vengfull spirit devoided of all fear, he had to face the manifestation of his deepest fears, said fears started to take shape of an omnimous, tall and slightly feminine figure clothed in a robe that was black as the deepest of the voids, the top of figure's head was covered by a hood which was part of the robe yet the hood itself would only hide someone's face only of you were to look at it from the side and seems to be there mostly for looks as there isn't even a face to hide since the being lacks one, there isn't even a mask or a skull. This creature was armed with a scythe, which blade it's blade attached to a pole that is even talle than the monster. Alexander's face did not changed much, it wasn't twisted by fear or contorted in shape of a panicked scream but his eyes, his eyes, one look at them and all the emotion that this man felt at this momment would become apearent, he was both fearfull and furious. The creature for few momments stood still and looked at Alexander in complete silence, then it took one slow step in Alexander's direction a step the the creature never got to properly finished as the Mercenary had thrown himself at creature at the slightest hint of the movement, he, to the suprise of those that could see this, kncked the creature out of it's feet and on the ground, after that the Madman got himself up and started kicking and beating,with his mace of course, the monster that was laying before him, all the while screaming
- GANG VIOLENCE YOU SPECTRAL INBRED MOTHERFUCEKR, GANG VIOLENCE

She was at her breaking point when that god awful elf made his presence known once again. She was usually good at keeping her cool even when angry but these two just seemed to bring out the worst in her. She was losing her cool as the elf jumped onto Alexander and gave him momentum to throw a punch at her. It was unexpected but she managed to dodge most of the blow, but took enough of a hit that the metal of his armored hand cut into the flesh of her cheek. She fell backwards and managed to maneuver her fall more to the side as to not get crushed by his momentum. She was unnaturally quiet as she stood up once more with her hand pressed to her face where he had hit her. She pulled her hand away only to be greeted with the sight of her own blood. It shimmered and sparkled like rubies. Her heart started to beat faster. He made her bleed, this was her own blood. A completely irrational rage filled her as the blood dripped from her fingers and continued to fall from her face. Something in her snapped and a darkness seemed to fill her heart. It wasn't just from this obnoxious man but a collective of everything that had happened since her awakening. She had had enough. Her eyes snapped upwards from her hand to meet his, her eyes seemed to swirl as the color faded from a mercury to a deep gold. Her silvery hair suddenly started to change in strands from the roots to a black darker than the deepest night. Without losing eye contact she slammed her bloodied hand against the wall of the nearest building. The blood seemed to flow forth creating some sort of glyph upon the wall before a darkness encompassed the area. "I am sick of what this world has become. From the moment I woke up there has been such darkness. There is no point fighting it anymore, so may your deepest fears come to life to haunt you." Shadows rose within the darkness manifesting themselves as the fears deep with the hearts of those within her spells area of effect. Several sailors who had stuck around screamed as they had been trapped in the darkness but soon their cries of terror were cut short as they were overtaken by their fears. "Will you be ended here, or defeat your fears?" She asked Alexander and his burning elf 'friend' as she backed away, disappearing within the darkness to observe.

When Lily stoped his mace ,from wrecking someone's skull, Alexander wasn't even suprised. to be honest he expected something similar to that, but of course being a moron that he is, he hoped that she wouldn't intervene in his rampage on the bastard sailors. Now he was in quite of the pickle, with a electrically charged sword coming at him and three pixie motherfuckers trying their best to support their master. The mercenary had to act quickly or else his face would be scorched, the other two weren't that much of a threat realy, but his best bet would be to try and tackle her and from there beat the ever loving crap our of her so that she would fall uncouncious, if he succeded in that he would also break her kneecaps, this would ensure that he had atleast some good amount of time to escape from her if she somehow  woken up faster than it was intended. But before Alexander could make an jump it was almost too late for him to do it as fire blast was just about to hit him the face but thankfuly to him certain Elf was showed up in time to help him and by "help him" I mean jump into him while screaming
- GET THE HELL OUT OF MY REVENGE TARGET BITCH.
Of course by jumping into him the Elf, known as Bob, pushed Alexander into direction that he intended to go in the first place, but now thanks to the external force of a jumpy Elf that is literaly on fire, he did that much fsater than he would do that by his own accord. So there he was a Merc clad in full plate armor, flying into one crazy bitch with an Electric Sword and reason why he is flying into her is an Elf that is burning alive, this kind of things deserve "You can't make this shit up" comment from somekind of Omniscient external being narrating those events but to our dear Alexander ,who just wanted to drink alone his piss poor beer and eat his rock, also known as very cheap bread, only one thought came to mind which was "Why can't I ever just drink Alone?". While also thinking this Alexander tried to inflict some damage to Lily the "Not crushing her with your weight" way, which he tried to acomplish by using his "flying" mommentum to punch her in the face with his armored covered fist.

His angry face did nothing to phase her as she stared back unblinkingly her feelings on the subject were like molten lava flowing through her. Nothing could stop it. The moment he agreed to be healed her dark aura and all remnants of anger vanished and she was all sunshine and flowers again. She smiled happily, until he ran out the door trying to murder everyone. The sailors were scattering, she had no idea what the elf was doing though,  for her eyes were trained on Alexander. He was being reckless. He was supposed to be being healed, not making more patients for her. There was one sailor who had happened to be too close to the door and had a broken arm with large gashes spilling blood onto the street. Lily rushed over to the man and quickly healed the damaged arm, she tore a large section of the man's shirt off and wrapped his arm. "I don't have time to heal the broken bone, as you can see there is a mad man on the loose." She said then shooed the sailor away.  There were more wounded but they seemed to be more superficial wounds so with a serious look in her eyes she called forth her magic and a sword formed in front of her. She grasped the hilt then darted in front of Alexander as he swung his mace at a cornered sailor. With a loud clash of metal she blocked the mace. She had slid a few inched backwards before sparks seemed to ignight over her entire body as she enhanced her strength. She would be too weak to make sure these people got away without her magic, she just hoped she didn't have to use too much of it. In a falsely sickly sweet voice she said, "Alexander, my dear you are pissing me off. When I said healing I meant right then. Do you really think I'll just let you waltz out here and create more patients for me to have to tend to?" Her eyes burned with rage but she kept a smile on her face. This man was pissing her off more than she had been by any other she had met since her awakening. She spoke once again, "Since it seems you do not want to come willingly, I am assuming I must take you and heal you by force. She swung her sword at him, it was covered in an electrical charge and arcing off the blade to try and attach itself to whatever was closest. From behind her burst forth three fairy looking creatures each composed of a different element, fire, air, and water. They circled over head for a moment before a fiery streak flew at Alexander's face swiftly followed by a strong gust of wind meant to take him off balance as the third had spread water upon the ground at his feet, hoping for him to slip up.

He then looked at her with face twisted by anger in a way that he tries to "Out-Anger" Her, his look was stern, his fists were clenched tightly, he looked as he was about to strike the woman but he relaxes and instead he crossed his arms and stared at her for a while, it was rather akward and very tense momment of silence as Alexander stared Lily down, with his anger filled eyes, still silent. The only sounds that were heard were shufling of people outiside, including the Elf, as they watched the two through the windows and a hole in the door, and the Barkeep cleaning the mugs. This silence dragged on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and with every minute that passed so the situation had tensed to the point that it almost seemed that air was mede out lead, the atmosphere go that heavy but as we all know this cannot last so the first to break this stifffling silence was Alexander with his standard level of wit and eloquence
- OK OK You can look at me head but I won't lay on the ground like fucking dog and do not mess up my hair or tey to style for I swear I will choke the bitch - he said through his teeth, thne he turned to the door - But before that I need to do something - he again said this through his teeth while at the same taking his mace out and dashing towards the doors - I WILL FUCKING MURDER THE LOT OF YOU ASSHOLES - and when he came to them he samshed them open after which he started swing his mace at evry sailor that got in his way

He had regained consciousness and Lily started fluttering around like a mother hen. "Oh no, you're in pain, I didn't get to finish. You should really stay laying down until you're fully healed." He seemed to be ignoring her and got up anyways. Her eye twitched once… She cocked her head to the side as he looked over the now empty bar with a murderous look and talk of killing someone.

But I'm not done healing him yet…. the thought drifted across her mind as her almost motherly aura darkened into an ominous almost demonic one that made her little outburst before look like child's play. She went to put a hand on his shoulder, her eyes were wider than before as she looked at him with a look that seemed to be a threat to his safety all in its own. As she spoke her tone was deeper than normal as if threatening him with violence even though her words said no such thing, "Where do you think you're going? I'm not done healing you yet." Eceryrhing about the way she was at that moment seemed to say that if he decided not to let her finish healing him, she would do her best to force him to stay… even if that required breaking his legs. She took her healing seriously and refused to let anyone leave without being at 100%.

- Eugh - groaned Alexander as he started to regain his counciesnes - Well augh shit my head hurts more than after that one time when I got into a fucking bar brawl with a orc - he said as he tried to get up, and when he did that he touched his head in palce where it hurt then he abruptly took it from the spot while groaning from pain - Gods damn it …..- Then he started looking over emptied bar in way that sugest a murderous intent - Ok Where is that son of a bitch that done this to me? I swear that when I will get my hands on him that he will regret his decision to fucking cross me - he said through his clenched teeth clearly he was angry, very angry his hand even moved to his mace he was ready to use it at any momment now

Author: lilithrie, Posted: Wed Aug 9, 2017 3:55 PM, Post Subject: Why can't I just drink alone?

Her excitement was short lived as someone literally crashed through the door. She plopped back in her seat and stared at the elf who appeared to be on fire. The only reason she didnt go and help him was because his screams werent that of pain, he was yelling at Alexander. She stiffled a laugh at the language the elf chose to use. Her amusement was short lived as he lunged at the am across from her, missed and crashed onto the table. Her face became a mask of neutrality at this point. Chaos then broke out. She felt a rage build inside of her. She watched as Alexander was hit over the head with a chair and knocked unconscious. She closed her eyes trying to calm herself but the chaos around her was building even more. Her mercury eyes flew open burning with a boiling rage as those around her continued to hurt eachother. She glanced at the bartender who was looking bored cleaning a glass. He nodded slightly at her and sighed. She stood up quickly, knocking her chair over in the process and in a loud echoing voice said, "That's  ENOUGH!" She stamped her foot on the ground and a net of electricity sprung out from the contact, freezing everyone that was involved in the fighting with a paralyzing spell. A dark aura eminated from her as she glared around the room. Those who had not taken up fighting ran out the door. "Shame on you, all of you. Where are your manners. You are guests in this establishment! Didn't your mother's teach you anything! What would they say if they could see you now." She whirled her attention to the flaming elf, "and YOU! Put those flames out right now! Are you trying to burn the place to the ground?! If you don't put them out, I will force them out!" Her whole body glowed with a menacing magical aura. If he didn't put out the flames she would make it go out. He would get drenched in a stream of water from above his head. "What were you thinking breaking down the door! Do you not know how to use a handle? It has some you know!" She turned her attention to the sailor that had smashed Alexander across the head, "Why would you attack him? What has he done to earn an attack from you! Gah! You're all such children!" She sighed, her rage subsiding slightly. "Anyone who is injured stay here for healing, the rest of you, get out of my sight." She released the paralysis and almost everyone quietly left the tavern, feeling like scolded children. She made her way quickly through the remaining sailors and healed their injuries before turning her attention to Alexander. She sighed and went to check his condition, before letting her magic heal him so he wouldn't have any brain damage… She hoped…

Alexander was very confused by what she said and also kind of terrifed, seeing as if he would to agree then he would have to spend his entire night with HER, a woman which made entire Tavern willed with hardy sailors who eat fists for breakfast, piss themselves, not very good companion, not to mention that she said something about bath and doing his hair and ladies coming to hiiiiiii……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. "Oh Gods" was his first thought as he just realized that she thought that he was a male prostitute, which in perspective clears a lots of things up, though now he was even more confused, so much infact that all the grumpiness melted away from his face and was replaced by confussion as this guy tried to fiugure out who the hell was that Woman but but but but but butbutbutbut he was interupted by ehm something no one expected to happen for in this darkest and coldest hour for Alexander a light like of the flames bursts through the door of the tavern, quite literaly seeing as through those doors like realy through them as in something made a hole in the door and came through it, this something was ab Elf that was on fire and he was screaming his lungs out but not from pain no those were screams of anger
- ALEXANDER KRIEGER YOU TRUD MUNCHING MOTHERFUCKER - were his screams as this elf threw himself at Alexander though he failed to tackle him and insted he landed on the table at which Alexander and Lily sat at
- HOLY SHIT BOB?! I THOUGHT- Before he could end that some drunken sailor took a chair and smached it on Alexander's head knocking him out, after that Tavern spirraled into complete Chaos as a realy massive fight broke out in which the flaming Elf also participated because like he said
- OH FUCK YOU I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT TO HIM

He seemed a bit uncomfortable or something with the way he was gripping his staff so tightly. And the way his eyes were darting about as if looking for a way to escape. She rested leaned back in her chair and observed him for a moment or two. Mayne he disnt habe anywhere to stay for the night and seeing as it was getting late wanted to go looking for somewhere? She then got an idea that she was certain would make him feel better.  Her face brightened and she said, "Hey, do you need a room for the night? This place does have a few rooms to rent. I could get you a room, then you could take a bath and feel netter and OOOOOH! I could help you with your hair! You'll feel like a new man and I'm sure it'd help your business if you were a bit more put together, all the ladies would come calling." Her excitement was starting to get the best of her. She jumped up with both hands on the table a look of childish excitement overcoming her. "It would be so much fun, what do you say?"

Author: Degant123, Posted: Tue Aug 8, 2017 5:34 AM, Post Subject: Why can't I just drink alone?

"Well that was something" thought Alexander as he watched her reduce full grown man into a state of pants darkening fear, she must either br blackmailing all of them or she is somekind of witch, which wouldn't be suprising looking at the fact that she isn't exactly normal looking with the white hair and strangly colored eyes, well good thing is that unless someon throws a punch his way or he is paid to get involved, he will not get involved. So he waited there wondereing how to aproach things as to squeeze out as much free food out of her as he can, which shouldn't be too hard seeing as she just asked him "So, you seem to be a bit hungry, would you like anything else?" , "Man what a sucker I found or she wants to add something to my food buut if she wanted to do that sh could have just spike his drink the first time, unless she done that on purpose so he could be lulled into false sense of security hmmmmmmmmmmm" he thought as he considered his answer, but soon after that he came to conclusion that he will just ask for something solid which would be hard to poison just by adding something to it, though she could have used some spices……………….
- No there is no need for it, that will be enough for now - he said as he scratched his beard with his right hand while with his left he tightened his grip on his staff as to be ready to use it should the need ever come. Also while he preapered himslef for fight he also studied the room for any posible escape routes, good Merc should always have escapes routes at his hand at any given momment

She smiled and said with sincerity, "It's a pleasure to meet you Alexander." She seemed to be ignoring the fighting that was really staring to get out of hand all around them. The sailors were arguing and fighting over who had sang the best and should be the winner. As she took another piece of bread, watching as Alexander stuffed his face someone was pushes into the back of her chair.  She kept a smile on her face but the aura around her seemed to darken. "Excuse me for a moment please." She said with a tone of politeness carefully masking the anger she was feeling. These grown men were acting like children.  She stood up and turned around. The ominous feeling her aura was giving off seemed to spread throughout the room as she spoke, "If you would all please stop acring like children it would be much appreciated." A hush fell over everyone and the sailors froze as they felt the change in atmosphere. A few sailors from the group she had walked in with flinched at the sight of her and apologised quickly, "we're sorry Miss Lily, please forgive our rude behavior." The man speaking looked a bit frightened as he waited for her response. She looked at him with an emotionless gaze for a moment before the dark and ominous feeling I  her aura suddenly disappeared and ahe smiled again and nodded. She sat back down and ignored the few whispers before talking and then more singing eventually started up again, but there was a suspicious lack of violence for such a group of hardy sailors. She smiled at Alexander and said, "I do apologise for the interruption. Men can be such children at times." She grabbed the piece of bread she had been about to eat before and took a bite. "So, you seem to be a bit hungry, would you like anything else?"

This girl was realy odd, thought to himself Alexander, when the girl told him to "Not worry about that" in this voice filled with what seemed to be pity, then she walked off to somewhere but before that happened she asked him to wait there
- Pity?Why she would pity if………. oh fuck me she must be some kind crazy ass preacher hmlmmm If I play my cards right……. - whispered to himself the Mercenary
He started observing her more closely and he must admit that she doges those sailor with such a proficiency,It is almost like if they weren't there at all. Soon she came back with platter of bread,cheese and other stuff like an refilled mug and the best part is that he could take some of it,a offer he almost imidietly took by reaching towards bread to stuff his face with but before he could do that she asked him what was his name to which he answered
- Alexander
then he started stuffing his face

When he accepted her drink she was happy, bit her happiness melted into surprise as he downed the whole glass. There was a silence between them as she stared at him with surprise still clear upon her face. Then he spoke and she was confused about his words. What did he mean? There was more silence as she puzzled over his words for a few minutes until she finally came to the conclusion that he must think she was trying to hire him for his services. She wasn't sure what those services might entail but if it was like any of the girls she had met in taverns, then he was selling his body for money and that made her a bit sad. Sad at what this world had come to since her time forcing people to make a living off of the sins of others, selling their bodies and being degraded in such a way. She let out a sigh and said, "Don't worry about that. Let's just go with you enjoy yourself tonight without worrying about work. It's on me." She really felt bad for the man. He most not be making very much if the state of his clothing was anything to go off of. She couldn't offer him much in that department but she could give him a carefree night where he wouldn't have to worry about clients and just relax. "Just wait here a second." She said and slid her untouched drink over to him. She grabbed the empty mugs and made her way back to the bar. She ordered more ale and some bread, cheese, and a variety of spreads for the bread. She balanced out the two glasses of ale and the tray of food and made her way back to the table dodging the drunken sailors who had started up a fight, flitting about between them dodging their flying arms. She set the tray down and one glass of ale in front of him and said, "I haven't had anything since this morning so I'm a bit hungry, feel free to help yourself to some as well." She took a sip of her glass of ale and a bite of cheese on bread and smiled. Once she finished her piece of bread she asked, "So anyways, what's your name?"

After a momment of rather intense and akward silence from the stranger, where he also didn't move an inch , something happened HE …………………. had taken the mug given to him and started drinking from it and he only stoped when he emptied the mug,after that came another long momment of silence where he only eyed her, scaning her from top to bottom……..then this wierd grumpy man finaly spoke
- Ok what needs to be done and what is the price, I hope that it is big seeing as you bought me a drink to sweaten the deal

Author: lilithrie, Posted: Sat Aug 5, 2017 6:25 PM, Post Subject: Why can't I just drink alone?

The singing contest in the Winking Mermaid was something every sailor at the docks had been speaking about excitedly. Not only on the docks had they been speaking about suck a contest but also upon their ships. When the sailors of the cargo ship arriving from Parvpora found out they would arrive just in time for their favorite weekly activity there was excitement and a lot of practice upon the ship on the way. The ship had few passengers requesting travel across the sea, usually air ships were the preferred method of travel seeing as they were much faster. One passenger who preferred the sea to the sky was a woman returning to Cantelux after a brief stay on the opposing continent. Even though she had paid for her stay upon the ship she had insisted upon helping where she could. She hated the feeling of being useless or doing nothing when others worked so hard around her. The trip had been an eventful one with all the singing for the contest. She had happily sang and danced along with these crude sailor songs and dis so without a care in the world. Rumor would have it that a woman being alone on a ship full of men might have something not so pleasant happen to her, but the men had all been polite and very much the gentlemen… after she had made it clear she was not one to mess with…

After having made port the talk of singing had remained and grew as the sailors from other ships joined in the chatter. When it was getting close to time she was invited along with them and happily accepted. Upon entering the tavern with the group of men she looked quite out of place. She wore a fine light blue dress that seemed to flow about her making her look almost like an air elemental as she fluttered about here and there ordering drinking for her new friends. Her pale skin stood out from their sea tanned tones as she mingled. Normally her long white hair would have been cascading down her back but she had found it got in the way when she was on the ship so it was currently braided and wrapped up upon her head. It was much easier to do even the simplest of things without it getting in her way. 

The music had started and things were starting to get a bit rowdy as the night went on. Mercury colored eyes scanned the crowd during one particularly crude song. Among all the joyous faces there was one that they rested upon, a most unhappy looking man. Usually those who were not enjoying themselves kept to the corner and side tables but here was this man sitting in the middle of this rambunctious crowd looking (in her mind at least) like someone had killed his pet then decided to throw a party because of it. This peaked the woman's curiosity. Why was he here if he was not into the singing? There were plenty of other taverns yet he had chosen this one. The gods must have their reasons. She thought as she made her way to the bar. She ordered two mugs of ale, a bit better quality than the one he was currently drinking, and made her way to his table. Somehow it had managed to remain empty of patrons except for himself which seemed unusual but that was a bit of a relief to tell the truth. She still was a bit wary of large crowds so a temporary relief from being surrounded so closely on all sides was welcome. Without even asking she sat down at his table with a polite, warm smile and slid one of the mugs his direction. "Hello, I couldn't help notice that you were all alone and grumpy looking amidst all of this. So I decided to buy you a drink and try and cheer you up." She said with an almost childlike innocence attached to her words.  Her eyes fluttered over his attire, sure he looked a bit…odd…. to her with his choice of clothing especially the belt…if you could call it that… but she was raised not to judge people based off of appearances. She also was raised in a way that if someone around her wasn't happy, or needed help in any way, she felt like it was her duty to help them, and that feeling ran deep within her. This man seemed so out of place and grumpy that she had an overwhelming need to make him be just as happy as everyone else around them. She smiled once again and spoke, "I'm Lily. I've just arrived from Parvpora and the whole way here the sailors could speak of nothing but this contest so I decided to check it out. What brings you out and about on this fine evening?" She had to start off with the usual small talk to get to the bottom of his grumpiness. He was a stranger so she couldn't just get into it from the get go, there was such a thing called manners and she would have them, unless someone didn't deserve them.

The Winking Mermaid, the Tavern most known for it's informal singing contest and for the fights that break out and often spill into the streets because of this contest, though this tavern, as always, will be just a backdrop for the story of a lone grumpy man trying to drink his cheap and kind of shity alcoholic beverage in peace. The name of the this man about whom this story will be about is Alexander Krieger, son of Augustus Krieger and Susan Krieger, a simple man hailing from from equaly simple villiage of Generica, a Mercenary willing to do most things if the price is good enough and a guy who pushed a knight from the cliff because he rambeled too much, also he declined the proposal of raising Alexander's pay a bit, this haves to do with fact that Alexander could do with this asshole's rambling if he paid him a little bit more BUUUT NO, IF HE DOESN'T LIKE HIS RAMBLINGS THEN HE CAN LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE  BOOHOO, if the afterlife exists I bet that this knights regret not paying Alexander more. But nowe we should describe the look of Alexander so our dear readers would have at least consisten idea of how he looks, first of the thing that is most visiable: The clothes, Our Grumpy Mercenary man wears full plate armor with the exception of the helmet, which is laying on the table next to Alexander, insted of Vambraces he weares full platt gauntlets, the rest is kind of normal with,again, exception of the helmet which look somewaht like an metal hat with metal mask attached to front of it, and on the back there is a chainmail hood, under which is also a leather hood. The front plate of the helmet has to somewhat narrow slits for eyes and few very small holes in the region of the mouth for breathing, the top of the helmet has a medium sized brim, and forgive me for the using this comparison again, like that of a hat. Besides his armor, this man also wears a simple sleevles robe, which clearly isn't sleevless by design, no someone or something must have torn the sleeves from the robe, but is one would to look near the belt region of this man body one could easliy indetify the person who is the perosn responsible for this robe's lack of sleeves, for this man wears an improvised belt made out of torn out sleeves, to this belt is also tied simple mace but sturdy mace, on his back rest a simple backpack, in his right arm he holds a tankard filled with cheap and shity booze and in hi left he holds his wizards staff. His face was rather pale with clear bags under his brown eyes, also he clearly didn't shave for a long time for a proper bronw beard decorates his face while on top of his heads rest messy, beaver like, mass of , you guesed it, brown hair. By the way Alexander was sitting next to the table in the middle of the tavern, because, and i quote here "Corners are for those perpetually mysterious jakcasses with an agenda"
