~Pyraline was tired. He had only just moved into North Hyrule, and he was planning on starting a new life, but new life's were rough. For some reason they never turned out as plan. The self proclaimed "Lord" had money, yes it was true, and he had his trusty broadsword, and his, less trusty rapier, but that didn't make him content. Currently Pyre found himself lacking the two most important things in life: Friends and Women. With those two oh so important necessities, missing, Pyraline found himself doing the two things that he was doing rather commonly these days: Sitting in the local tavern, and drinking.

The hylian sat at a table in the corner of a pub just outside the courtyard, with a glass of red wine in his hands. At 19 he was fairly young to be drinking, but he liked wine quite a bit. Probably too much for his own good, and if he wasn't careful, Lord Pyre had a tendency to get quite drunk. When he had his two favorite things in combination with wine, then things got outright bad.

Pyraline ran his hair through his blond hair, and sighed heavily, clearly overcome with woes. Putting aside the gold rings bedecking his fingers, encrusted with countless rubies, his bright scarlet clothing, threaded with pure gold wire, and the large bag of money hanging at his belt, he was the most miserable man in the world. Everyone should pity him, and bow at his feet, serving his every need. It was just the way the world was supposed to work. Plus, a day without a girl, be it a barmaid, or a rich women, just didn't seem right.~

(((OOC: Meet the new Pyraline (the -e is pronounced not silent.) I've decided (mostly because of Alpha's new little event thingy that apparently hasn't been posted) to return, but I wanted a little change of pace, so new character.... sorta. I've decided to start the plate clean so even if you knew the old Pyralin, then go ahead and introduce yourself. Save him from his misery )))

Sukotsutsu opened the door to the tavern and walked in closing the door silently. Sukotsutsu was wearing a black cloak with a hoody on. Most of his face was hidden within the shadow of the hood. He was hoping not to be thought of as a villain because of how he was dressed.

Sukotsutsu scanned the tavern for someone to set by and to talk to. He seen a man in the corner and walked over to him. Then he said in a whisper "Can I set by you?" Sukotsutsu moved his hood off revealing his some-what long black hair, a bored face and his cyan blue eyes.

OOC: I'm new and want to know how my post is so please tell me and also I have a topic and need people for it. The topic is called A lesson in betrayal

While the newcomer was busy moping, a pair of eyes glinted in the darkness of a nearby alley, staring at him. What a perfect way to begin the day, a new victim. The entity mused silently, and made it's move.

A streak of yellow darted out into the crowd. It dodged between countless civilians, who were unaware that anything was happening. The thing approached it's target like lightning. It stretched out an arm, ready to strike . . .

Unfortunately, the blond man never made it to his target; the large ammount of money on Pyraline's possession. Just as he was about to grab it, he in turn had his leg yanked by a rather strong force.

Denkou, lightning thief: failed theft. The hylian skidded to a stop before Pyralin, some of his blood coming out from his now-dammaged face.

"Ugh . . . . W-what hit me?" He asked, and turned his bloody head slighty.

It was Kasei, ominously, he stood over Denkou, his red eyes threatening to pierce the thief's soul. "I told you before. Stop these childish acts of theft, or go to jail." He said, then turned to the would-be-victim. "I'm sorry for this man's actions. He's a rather . . . radical individual. My name is Kasei. Who might you be?" The Azure-haired shiekah asked, extending a hand in welcome to the newbie.

OOC: WELCOME, NEW PLAYER!!!

This actually reminds me of something, though I can't put my finger on it . . .

oh yes, this is exactly what I did with Kasei. XD

Having procured enough loot to temporarily satisfy her greed, the thief stood in an alleyway trying to decide what to do next. It was still early in the day, and she had already exceeded her personal quota, something that didn't happen often. Slowly, the Shiekah unwrapped scarf that covered her head, letting it hang around her shoulders. Running her fingers through her silver hair, she thought, What to do... Oh, I know! There's always a group gamboling at the pub, and once they run out of money the start to gambol personal belongings, rare items and such... Her eyes glinted at the word "rare", and a smile brushed across her lips. I do believe I've just solved my own problem. Kumori might not approve though, but he's not here now, is he? With a chuckle, she headed to the pub.

The whole interior smelled of liquor, and as soon as she entered it bacame apparent that there were quite a few drunks as well. The shiekah stood in a corner, surveying the room's occupants. She frowned as she noticed that the gamboling tables were full, something that she had not anticipated. But something even better caught her eye, a rich man sitting alone, sipping a glass of wine. A young, lonely rich man, the perfect target, she thought, tugging at her gloves. But before she could act, a boy joined him at the table, and she frowned. Soon after, who should join her target but Kasei himself. Just my luck. Oh well, if you can't rob 'em, join 'em.

Having nothing better to do at the moment, the thief strolled over to the small group. "Hey Kasei, who do we have here?"

((OOC: Yay, you're back! I've improved a lot since last time, you'll see ))

(((OOC: K...Kasei. There...there.... were no major grammatical errors in your post........ I'm so glad I returned, this is getting better and better.)))

~Denkou's sudden rush, not only caused quite a bit of chaos, but had left Pyre confused. One moment all was calm, and he was left alone to wallow in despair, and then suddenly, the crowd was being parted, and people were thrown hither and thither by a blond man, sprinting towards him. Pyraline's reaction was to grab the broadsword resting upon the table, heft it up into the air, and point it straight in the man's direction. Maybe he would rush right onto it, and rid himself from this world. One more inferior being gone, and good riddance.

This fantasy was too good to be true however, as another stranger hit the probable theif from behind. The hylian was use to being robbed, and usually he could do nothing about it. He simply couldn't rouse himself to be angry enough to actually do something. Often that left him minus a large sum of ruppees, but he always had more where that came from. Pyre would just withdraw some from his bank, until that too was stolen, or he had spent it all, purchasing some expensive, but worthless trinket, or spending it all on drink and board.

Lord Pyraline watched in horror as the boy skidded to a halt in front of him, and the sudden change in acceleration caused him to drop his broadsword, the tip of the massive blade sinking deep into the wooden floor boards in front of him, and looking like it wasn't going to be drawn out easily. This sword usually gave Pyre a bit of trouble, but loved the sword, and couldn't force himself to part with, despite his inability to use it well.

His next action, like always, was to draw his thin rapier, with a hilt inlaid with gold designs. The ranger waved this in the air in front of his, threateningly, and said aloud, "Have at thee, theif! Next time choose your victim more wisely!"

The hylian then stabbed forward with his rapier, missing his target, and quickly drew the blade back, deciding that maybe now was not the time to impale the blond man... or show to the onlookers that he was unable to. Instead he brought the blade up to his brow in a salute to Kasei.

"Thank you, friend. I'm glad that at least some people have respect for their superiors. I am called, Lord Pyre of the Western Lands. I hail from Saria Town, and my adventurers, and misfortunes, have brought me here to this far away place and-"

In the midst of this introductory monologue, another stranger interrupted.

"Can I set by you?"

Pyraline looked at man with narrowed eyes. This raggamuffin clearly was relatively uneducated and unmannered, to speak like that, without even an introduction. Coincididal to these thoughts, the ranger's responce was scathing.

"No you cannot "set" by me. If you tell me your name, rogue, I may allow you to sit, however."

(((OOC: That was strictly IC. I just couldn't resist, that's just the way Pyraline is. )))

"And you fair lady-" he addressed the latest sheikah newcomer, now having completely forgotten he was introducing himself to Kasei, "-you can also sit if you like."~

"My name is Sukotsutsu and I'm a sheikan scholar." He said as he looked at the man. "Now can I sit by you?" Sukotsutsu said as he put his hood back on. More people was walking in he seen. Sukotsutsu was wondering who that girl was so he introduced his self. "Hi, I'm Sukotsutsu, but you can call me Young Lightning, ummm...may I ask what your name is?"

OOC:I'm still brain dead because of school so after awhile. Young Lightning is the nickname of Sukotsutsu.

((OOC: Thank you for noting Sukotsutsu's bad grammar, I've been bugging him about it...))

"Thank you," she replied with a smile, and took a seat at the table. Fair lady? Flattering, but it doesn't mean much. You'd have to be a pretty brave woman to venture in here alone, and I wouldn't be suprised if I was the only sober female in this dump, she thought.

Finally turning to Sukotsutsu, she replied to his question. "I've always been known as Luna." Smirking, she added, " And I don't have any fancy nicknames, in case you were wondering."

((OOC: It's short, but I'll make it up.))

"For one thing Luna, Young lighning was a nickname from my sensei, it describes my fighting style." sukotsutsu said with a mad look on his face. Sukotsutsu wondered if the man said if he could sit. He thought it was a yes and sat down.


OOC: I my next post will be longer i swear. I have a topic that I've been posting in that I've been using my mind for or at least what I have left of a mind. Dang you school

OOC: wat u mene, pabru? my grammre alwais gude.

IC: Kasei smiled brightly as he was greeted by the man, who was addressing himself as Lord Pyre. "Greetings to you, too." The Rebel Flame commented shortly, before also being spoken to by Luna, a known thief he wasn't too happy to be near. "Welcome, Luna." He said, and then glared down at his hapless servant, Denkou, who was bleeding profusly.

"Get up, you, you look worse than an octorok." The Rebel Flame ordered, as he bent down to grab his aid. "Go clean yourself up." He declared, and then focused once more on Pyre. "Saria town, eh? You must have luck to make it this far north."
