MTG Salvation

**Grehym took his drink with thanks leaving a little coin on the bar as tip, and not bothering to listen to the choice of conversation. He took a deep drink from his new liqueur. The swordsman was there to get lost in the general hubbub of the King not relieve the Field Trip.**

**Not too long after Ulrich, a bone weary Grehym entered the King right behind. He didn't say a word, but presented this to Mirielle, after she'd finished with Ulrich: Drinking Buddy - A printed certificate baring MacFlintch's grinning face, this entitles the bearer to have a special drink with special effects created and named after them at any one bar in Bakara. They will always receive this drink for half-price.**

**Hilde thanked Errol for the trade and introduction, then the female warrior threw down some coins for her drink and gathered up her belongings. Approaching the door, she nodded back to Errol in an unseen gesture.**

Hilde - See you round, Gambler. Easy come, easy go.

**For the briefest of moments, the woman hesitated but it passed quickly. She'd been bitten too many times that it seemed trust had grown unnatural to her. However, she returned Errol's handshake, a pleasant smile serving to take years off of her gaunt features.**

Hilde - A pleasure, Errol. My name is Hilde.

**Hilde chuckled darkly, before she downed an unseen drink that had been left unfinished. Then facing Errol, she pulled out a black drawstring bag for her dice.**

Hilde - Alien and peculiar dice, for an unspecified reward? You're an interesting man, Gambler. Let's say we have a deal.

Hilde - As it happens, I won them. Although, not sure how much good they'll do me. I had a mind to take them with me, but something is telling me otherwise. Fate seems to have other ideas.

**Hilde smiled, it was the ghost of a smile, quite telling on her careworn features. The dice kept rolling.**

Hilde - Life is a series of gambles, but thank you. The dice are quite intriguing.

**There was a hooded figure seated at the bar when Errol wandered in and sauntered into a seat. She was a handsome female warrior, her fiery auburn locks flickered from underneath her hood, spiraling lazily to her shoulders. She was idly playing with a pair of gold and silver dice.**

**Annerire uncurled from her sitting position like a sleepy cat, stifling a yawn, the Arbiter approached Leah in a very familiar, matter-of-fact manner that said they were old friends.**

Nerie - Hey, you! What took ya so long? Neverminddon'tanswerthatyou'reherenow! (yawn) Let's take out this Straut garbage, shall we?

**In fact, Nerie after she was denied a bit of fun, had been sitting there the better part of a few idle hours, waiting for other bounty heads.**

Nerie - Oh!

**She barely avoided teetering over the desk, but regained her balance. But was nonetheless deterred.**

Nerie - Shy, I see. Well, no matter. The hardest nuts are the most satisfying to crack.

**She raised her eyebrows to emphasize the point, and then sat down smiling, crossing her legs in a nearby seat, and pulling out another of her rolled cigarillos.**

Nerie - Oh, how very sweet of you! I'll just wait with you, if that's okay.

**She said this very nicely, but for the manhandling hug she smothered the poor man with...**

Kiku - My thanks. I shouldn't be too long.

------------------------

Nerie - Well, hmph. I guess a little more waiting won't hurt... You wouldn't mind me waiting, would you?

**The girl's voiced raised noticeably, and she leaned forward looking the peacekeeper right in the eye.**

**Kikumi had ventured over to the bar for a quick drink, but she returned shortly to where Hiram was sitting.**

Kiku - Master Hughes, would it be possible to step out while we're waiting for more to join us? I have a few errands I'd like to do before leaving.

------------------------

**Annerire, who had just finished her meal, stretched out like a sleepy cat, all the while stifling a yawn. Satisfied, she very noticeably sauntered over to the Peacekeeper area; although it wasn't showy, it's just how she walked.**

Nerie - Why hello, sugah. I was wondering if anyone has started the pursuit of Straut?

**Kikumi was about to point out that Vilhjalmr hadn't actually promised to win, only enter, but then she figured that he probably couldn't distinguish one from the other, and thought better of it.**

Kiku - Right. Put my name down as well, Kikumi Okita.

------------------------

Nerie - My my my, this looks absolutely mouth-watering! I've been simply writhing for such a hearty meal!

**The Arbiter proceeded to dig in to her stew haphazardly, all propriety forgotten... She had come to pursue some bounties, but apparently all thought of that was lost to her appetite; a habit that probably happened all too often.**
