OOC: Alright, alright, I get the picture. You can all thank Dogura for contacting me about this. Hopefully Alpha won't mind me butting in.

IC:
The bartender appears behind the counter. "Hoy!" he cries to the group that has gathered around. "Wha' can I getchar? Menu's on th' wall."

OOC: You can all RP getting whatever it is you purchase.

"OK, I'm feeling a little rich here" Alex took out a red rupee and two blue ones "Give a bottle of your finest Zora wine" he said almost screaming

*huff* *huff* *huff*
"Now, where is that wretched thing?"- Tayro muttered under his breath, as his eyes wandered around the various buildings of the Town Quarter. On his hurry to get that ice-cream, which he failed at getting, the boy forgot to ask the most important question to his friends. "Where is that Ornery Cucco Tavern?!" DUe to age limitations, he had never been to a tavern before and with the twon under curfew, his task wasn't made simpler. Besides, North Castle was like a maze, where one can really get lost in its alleyways... who knows how shady that place is? If they're trying to avoid detection, they'd aim for a dark shadowy place no?

No. After quite a long time of search, he finally spotted a rather large building across the street. On the top of the grand wooden doors, a little sign was hanging with the Tavern's name. I can't believe they chose a place this obvious. - he thought. Not bothering even to knock, as doubtly anyone would come opening the door, he swftly pushed the door, which proved to be lighter than expected. Inside, with the dim and frail light that inhabited the room, he could spot some familiar faces at the most distant table from him. Silent all his way there, as someone could be spying on him (well, you just couldn't be too careful), and sat down on the table with them.
"Sorry for the delay...! Couldn't find this place..."- the Hylian explained, a slightly mischievous grin on his face. Observing the table, he noticed that he was late, yet he wasn't the last one to arrive - one of them was still missing. Whew! At least I wasn't last.

Only then did he notice the bartender, staying there, awaiting a rquest of some sorts. Getting his linen wallet from one of his robe's interior pockets, he grabs a few rupees and looks at the tablet. "Um... I'll have a glass of Lon Lon Milk, please." - he says, as he quickly turns to Alpha. "I know Blank isn't here yet, but, can't you tell us already what is that King's plan to defend this place?" - he says, having to force the word 'King' out to describe that creep. I hate the nobles, always so snotty and high of themselves... Awaiting an answer, he impatiently looks at the door, awaiting the missing link of the chain.

Dogura smiled at the bar tenders arival, as well as tayro's. He reached over the side of the counter, grabbing for his list of neutral warriors. "Alright, Tayro is here. All that leaves is Blank, who is always fashionably late." He muttered, crossing off tayro.

Rose X
Tayro X
Alex X
Blank

He looked up at the bar tender. "Give me a cucco sandwhich, with a side of apple dumplings." He was about to welcome Tayro, when he remembered beverages. "Ill also have some Chateau Romani. Now he stood up, leaving his things on the table, before announcing, "Im paying! Trust me, i have more rupees than a man should carry on him! I should visit the bank soon!" He then waved to tayro. "Hungry?" He smiled, motioning for him to sit down.

"Do you happen to have fish? If so, I want a nice cut of it" Alex told to the bartender, when he turned around, something caught his attention, Tayro.

Tayro wrote:"Sorry for the delay...! Couldn't find this place..."-

"It's OK, don't worry, did you have a good time exploring the castle?" he said joking, probably it was a good expierence for a teenager (OOC: 14 right?) to get lost in the maze of alleys in that was the city.
"But maybe you just got here in time, by now the king must be kidnapping his new recruits from the streets" he took a larger drink from his cup.
"Now we'll just have to wait for Blank and get this party started, wahoo!" the Zora extended his large arms and took both Tayro and Dogura by the shoulders.
"We're going to have a great time right? Damn the King!" he said.
OOC: -_-' you see, that's what happens when you take too much zora wine...

Dogura wasnt sure if it was the intoxication, or the adrenaline of being a rebel, that drove the Zora to lengths of joy. To Dogura this wasnt a very joyous time, and he hadnt thought about the bright side. Perhaps he could learn a little something from Alex. In fact, there was a silver lining to this otherwise dark cloud. He was with good friends at a local tavern, preparing for yet another adventure. The vagabond slightly smiled.

"Alright Alex! I guess it isnt a party without Blank now is it?" He put his right arm around Alex, who had his arm around both the samurai, and Tayro, creating a chain of laughing men. It actually felt good. Felt good to be around people, who felt good around you. With every passing day, Dogura was growing softer of heart.

OOC: Maybe you guys didnt notice, but in the beginning, Dogura was a distrustful loner. However, as ive continued his story, he's growing into a softy! And where the hell is blank man!! Like Dogura said, it aint a party without Blank!!

"Oh yeah! Blank, how could I forget Blank, I still remember the time we fought two Lanmolas by ourselves, hehe, oh yeah! Good times..." the Zora started laughing.
"And remember the tiem we were on the Hakiems base and we fought a Kroperg, thet was sooo fun... Believe me, if I die in this war, I'll die among my friends, haha!" Alex sure was happy, but how long untill he recovers his senses to a hundred percent?
OOC: I guess this game it's like schoole itself, the first months you're a loner, but then you get to meet lot's o' people

OOC: I'll send a PM Blank's way, telling him to get on over here. I'm sure he's just busy attempting to catch up after having been away for ten days.

Alex wrote:OOC: I guess this game is like school itself: the first months you're a loner, but then you get to meet lot's of people.

That may be, Alex, but...

IC:
As Tayro enters into the Tavern, Alpha waves to him. A smile forms on his face as the Hylian walks over. As the group settles in while waiting for Blank Fireside to show up at the meeting, he begins mulling over what he intends to present to them. He's actually written up a little speech in his head...even though he despises giving speeches. He isn't comfortable being in front of a group of people, either, even if they are considered to be allies.

Parts of it run through his head at random intervals...'the Treaty of 1979 was established...the REF was disbanded...the peace that each one of us has treasured...forced to fight...cannot stand with either...the shroud of 'logic'...avoid the conflict...still fighting the battle...a third faction...shall revive...'

He doesn't know if it's the best way to say it all, he finally realizes. But it is a way to say what needs to be said, and that is what truly matters at this point.

Coming out of his reprieve from the others' prescences, he runs through the conversation that had been playing while he was deep in thought. It has always been one of his more useful skills: the ability to mentally record speech that he is not consciously paying attention to, and then playing it back at a later point so he can analyze it.

Upon reaching the point in history where Alex had shouted out against the king, Alpha's hand reaches up to slap his own forehead in disbelief. The Zora was obviously at least somewhat drunk; shouting out obscenities directed towards the King was idiotic, and could easily get a man thrown into jail during times like these. Not the kind of publicity that they wanted at this point. He is relieved, though, when a quick glance around the room reveals that no one has looked over in their direction for anything more than a casual glance.

Still, disgusted by the Zora's loss of control, he promptly grabs his staff from behind his back and brings it straight down on Alex's head.

OOC: ...Alpha can still act like his old loner self.

OOC: He he, good way to snap someone out of drunkenness
IC:
Alex rubbed his forehead after the hit "Oww...I get it, I just wanted to... oh, wait a second..." the halfway drunk Zora released his mates, he slowly walked through the exit door.
...
When Alex entered again, his face was dripping water, apparently he had to clear his mind after doing such stupid things.
"Thank you, Alpha, you never seem to loose the temper, I'm sorry, but I feel better now" he pushed aside the cup of wine from his side of the table.
"We can celebrate later, now it is time to get on the planning, we can put Blank up to date once he gets here, if you're OK with it..." he slapped himself a few times to get back to his full senses.

Dogura rolled his eyes. "Ah, Alpha. Never a dull moment with that guy around." He muttered, half smiling. He tried to focus his best, but it was tough on an empty stomache. It growled, and moaned at him, begging for an ounce of food to fill the empty void that was his hunger. He snapped out of it, listening intently to what Alpha was about to say, nervously glancing out the window now and again. He was growing worried of his friend.

He examined the growing bumb on the Zora's head. "Was that really necicary Alpha?" He chuckled. Keeping his senses alert for any object that may be flying his way, he waited for Alpha's words. The words that would give them direction, hope, and spirit. He stood up, for the stools werent very comfortable. Instead, he leaned on the counter, his Hylian ears perking at every sound.

OOC: Omg, Alpha, thats so true! And Dogura has to keep his emotions under controll, or you know the cost

OOC: Ah, Alex, that reminds me. We should probably finish that topic XD

IC:

The slam of a door. A snort of laughter. Clapping hands; applause. Footsteps. Followed by a hearty "Whoa!" and the familiar sound of a nomad's collision. What was it this time? A chair? The floor? A hefty Goron? If the Ornery gatherers were to look behind them, they would surely find their answer.

Blank lay strewn about on the floor, having tripped on several intoxicated customers. Embarassed, he rose from the ground and smiled. He was not the fool of the day; the drunks were. And no - although a somewhat rare in-town occasion, Blank was not one of them. He waved to the others, smiling like an idiot. The Hylian hobbled his way over to his companions. On his left foot, he wore his usual brown boot, while the right welcomed an odd black one, slightly larger and clearly less comfortable.

His smile diminshed for only a moment, when he muttered something about fires, thieves and a sizable blister on his foot. Recreating his kinder expression, Blank folded his arms and leaned toward the others. "So..." he whispered, believing that this meeting was the most secretive of its kind. "What's this all about?"

OOC: For the record, he was laughing and applauding at the situation between Alpha and Alex

Alpha nods to Blank, who seems to be the only one present to understand the seriousness of their situation...well, him and Rose, who hasn't done much of anything since she arrived.

The Sheikah nods and motions for everyone to hurry up, get their food, and come back to their corner table, far away from any of the other people in the Tavern. Then they can finally get started with fulfilling their mission: protecting the people.

OOC: Im just going to RP dogura finishing dinner, it's obvious the bar tender has hung up his apron for good.

IC: Nobody had noticed, but Dogura had been silent for the lest moments. Leaving a friend ungreeted is normally something the vagabond wouldnt do. However, a glance at the man made his silence quite clear. He had a bowl of Ramen halfway down his throat, when he set it down, beaming, noodles on his face. "*gulp* MORE PLEASE!" he cried out. Another bowl was slid across the counter. he set his former bowl on a stck of three other bowls that he had swallowed down. it was nearly 25 seconds before the man had finished off his bowl. he stacked it with the rest, and turned around.

"Welcome Blank! It's about time you showed up! Glorious enterance or not, We're glad you made it. he reached to pick up his list, which had small smudges of ramen soup on it. He took his pen, and marked off the final name.

Rose X
Tayro x
Alex X
Blank X

Dogura set the list down, and placed his pen on top. he stood up, placing a couple of yellow rupees on the table, and moving over to Alpha. "We're all here Alpha. Now lets discuss our plan of action. We arent for the king, not one bit. However, we are for the people that the king rules. How are we going to go about this?" The samurai expected great things from such a group of people. He awaited Alpha's words.

OoC: No. He's 15

The hylian raises an eyebrow at the Zora's question. Getting lost in a place like this, deserted and not knowing what will jump at you from behind, besides having to be careful with the patrols so that he wouldn't get caught avoiding curfew... You gotta be kidding me! - he thinks, thinking of a more... soft answer than that.
"To tell you the turth, not at all!" - he says, not managing to find any better use of words.

"No, just thirsty, thanks." - Tayro replies at the samurai's question. Though a nice little meal wouldn't do him any bad, he wanted to have full attention on what was coming next, and besides, the mood of the meeting also gave him no will to eat. He grabbed the filled cup, and almost doesn't look at the milk before drinking it all down. Lon Lon Milk had been his favourite drink since the boy could remember, and besides being quite delicious, it was also nutritious for the body, and 'good for growing up', like the Orphanage maids always reminded them. Unlike some of his friends, who had to pinch their noses and close their eyes to drink that up, the Hylian never had too much troubles with that liquid. It was refreshing and had a lovely flavor... what more could one ask for?

The boy, lost in his memories, only notices too late the arms - or should he say fins - lunging at him, grabbing him and pushing him up. Only then he notices it's only Alex and having a completely strange behaviour, besides a bit of a stench of an alocoholic substance coming from his mouth. Ew! Alcohol! Dogura had been also dragged into this mess, yet he seemed that he was enjoying it... He struggled to get free from the group's odd dance, pushing and pulling to get out of that odor-filled circle. "Hey cut it off you two! You'll get a load of attention that way!" - he tells them, trying to reason with his friends - an obviously difficult task at hand. Having no beliefs that he would suceed, he tries something more... subtile. "Stop it! You're acting like a drunken moblin, Alex! And you're not helping either, Dogura!" - he says, trying to finally get their full attention that way. That isn't necessary though, as he can only watch a staff coming his way.

Tayro closes his eyes for impact, until he heard an 'oww', that did not come from his own mouth. Opening his eyes, he notices that the weapon's target was not him, but the Zora, who had been just hit by Alpha. The boy, unable to restrain himself, starts laughing as silent as he can, putting his hand in front of his mouth not to make much noise. He just couldn't help it - the scene was completely hilarious. Again he sits down, taking a few deep breaths to regain his composure. "Sorry about that."- he tells them, while still laughing inwardly as he repeats the sight various times in his head, like a video repeating itself many times.

He looks at the door by reflex when he hears a sound of something coming down. To his surprise, his spots a familiar face lying on the ground. He once again has to restrain his laughter, managing to remain silent this time, yet a slight grin forming in his face. He waves at the Nomad, the grin replaced by a smile now. "Hi Blank. Took you long enough!" - he says quietly. He then proceeds to look at Alpha, asking the definite question. "Shall we begin?"

The fact was, Dogura hadnt been enjoying it, however, he couldnt manage to keep a straight face with the Zora's intoxication. He chuckled, and stood up, waiting once more for Alpha to continue.
