Tapas Adventuring RP 2020-2021!

[Random_Guy]

(It's chill, you want to wait a minute for @Legendofgenii? Bellah and newcomer Whisp just entered the tavern.)

[Legendofgenii]

Gen wasn’t quite sure what to do with the sword, so he headed over to Alpha-7 to give it back to them.

“Thanks...” He said once he reached them, neglecting to actually hand the sword over. “... for... you know... pushing me and stuff...”

Erras smiled and walked away to speak with Lucretia and Marcus.

Bellah followed the stranger inside, but made sure to get back in front of him, so he could see her. She looked around the tavern for any members of her party... preferably the calm/sensible ones.

[Random_Guy]

"Just make sure to keep up your training." A7 smiles, reaching out to take the sword, "Don't want to let all that progress slip away!"

Blink is floating around messing with people, while Stockade is sitting at the bar, scratching Tene's chin.

The stranger looks around nervously at all the people, not really sure what to do.

(Anyone available to RP with?)

[AmazementComics]

Lucretia: "He's really come a long way hasn't he?"

She asked Erras.

[Random_Guy]

(Gonna say they're next to Stockade at the bar, since I think Bellah's headed that way, with the mute boi in tow.)

(His appearance in the meantime:)

They look as though they're made of some kind of pitch black liquid, though their form is that of a human male, and wear a long grey cloak around their body. On their back, hidden beneath the cloak, is a large, dangerously sharp-looking hook or claw. They have their hood pulled up, and what seems to be a stark white mask on their face, with two black lines running down it, across the eyes, and no mouth hole.

(Like this, without the protrusions on the back.)

(Head up to see the hook comparison.)

The stranger gratefully takes Bellah's hand, whatever he's made of is cool to the touch, and while it does feel like a liquid it is very much solid. He weighs very little, maybe 25 pounds.

(He's 5'11", and moves very animatedly, since he can't express himself due to the "mask".)

[Random_Guy]

(I am here, I have Blink free right now.)

[KilljoyConstruct]

(Cool. Anyone in particular you’d prefer to interact with?)

[Random_Guy]

(Nope, anyone works.)

[Legendofgenii]

“I will.” Gen handed the sword over, with a serious expression. “And I won’t forget what you all told me either.”

@AmazementComics

“He has...” Erras smiled at Lucretia before looking back over his shoulder. “Aedan would be proud.”

---

Bellah avoided Blink and headed over to Stockade at the bar, gesturing for the masked man to follow again. She could tell the stranger was nervous and jittery from his body language.

“Siektaa...” she didn’t call Stockade cute today. “I have found...” well, she wasn’t quite sure what she’d found. “... an enigma.”

[Random_Guy]

an enigma

(gasp It’s me!)

[Legendofgenii]

(())

[Random_Guy]

“Does this enigma speak?” Stockade asks patiently, as the stranger looks around in confusion, especially towards the Bipedals. (@Kiweevil)

[AmazementComics]

Lucretia: "Well, I'm happy for him. He seems to have matured, physically and mentally. And who's Aedan?"

She asked petting Xola's left antenna.

[KilljoyConstruct]

(Well, we’ve technically already had Jupiter and Amanda interact with her, and Esther’s not one to start conversation.)
(Guess it’s gonna be either Aurelia or Marcus.)

Aurelia looked away from Marcus briefly to observe what one of the other tavern goers was doing. When she turned back, she saw that he was walking up to a woman who appeared to be suspended in midair.
She shook her head slightly. She had just told him that, while they didn’t have to be unfriendly, it was best to keep to mostly keep to themselves to avoid being found out. Sighing, she followed after him, catching up to him just in time to hear him say, “Uh, hi! Are you stuck in this world too?”

[Legendofgenii]

“Not with words...” Bellah replied staring at the stranger, with a quick glance at the creatures he was looking at.

[Random_Guy]

“Pretty much.” Blink shrugs.

@Legendofgenii
(Sorry, fading away from A7 for now.)

@Kiweevil
The stranger steps forward, signing to Stockade.
“I’m... not fluent, but I know the basics.” Stockade nods, “He says his name is Whisp, and he’s something called a... Blot?”

(He’s a unique creature, doesn’t have a race, but since he’s a denizen of Tenecerem he’s called a Blot, it’s similar to the term “New Yorker”.)

[Legendofgenii]

Erras nodded in agreement, though perhaps Genii still had a way to go on the mental maturity side of things. Up until yesterday the boy still believed Sirens hatched from eggs.

“Aedan was Genii’s father.” The Knight explained. “My King. He is no longer with us, but I am sure he would be pleased to witness Genii free the sword... though perhaps not surprised.” Erras smiled. Aedan was far from modest, and required no reason to be proud of his son.

“Hey!” Gen said goodbye to Alpha-7 and jogged back over to the group. “Shall we head back to town? Maybe we can celebrate with a nice cold b-“

“No!” Erras flipped back to grumpy so fast, his face must just be more comfortable that way.

“What!? I was going to say ‘bowl of ice cream’.” He wasn’t.

@Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi

“Whisp...” Bellah had trouble pronouncing the man’s name. It sounded more like ‘ha-wiisp’ in her accent.

“I am Bellah.” She said to Whisp and tilted her head. “You are lost?”

[Random_Guy]

@Kiweevil
Whisp nods to Bellah quickly.
