Janine
*Ralki the potter adventurer enters the tavern, starving after a day of potting. She wonders what will be on the menu tonight. Perhaps steak? Or possibly just bread, who knows.*
Sam
*The Lora bartender returned from the back room, he waved over the new visitor,*"Jeez. The bar is sure popular today!" *He said to himself, waving her over,*"Come over! Need a drink? Room? Perhaps our famous meat pie?"
Janine
*Ohhh, meat pie, what a wonderful idea.* "I'll try the meat pie please, if you're bragging about it, it must be good!" *Sits down on a stool.*
Sam
"We have a few coming up in the oven. I can get you the half-pounder pie for five copper, or the one pounder for nine. Which one you want?" *The bartender asked.*
Janine
*Ralki doesn't have the biggest appatite. Probably couldn't eat a pounder at all.* "I'll take the half-pounder, because I don't think a pounder would even fit." *Ralki answered.*
Sam
*The Lora tip toed a bit over the counter, eyeing Ralki down. Yep, she definitely looked undernourished,*"You should eat more girl, you look like you haven't eaten for years." *He glanced at her, waiting for her to put down the copper.*
Janine
*Ralki's face scrunches up with distaste, how could he say that about me. The only reason she's so short was because of misfortune, not malnourishment. Nevertheless, she was hungry, and the pie was probably going to be the best she could get, so she put 5 copper pieces onto the table.* "Yes yes, I should" *She said with annoyance.*
Sam
*The bartender took the coins, and then returned to the kitchen. After a minute, he shouted,*"Pie is done!" *In a jubilant, semi high pitched voice. He came out with a pounder pie for Leopold, complete with a set of spoon and fork plus an extra plate. Then he came out with another, this time a half-pounder pie for Ralki, again with a fork and spoon, but on the same plate. 

The pie had a crunchy, savoury exterior made with baked pastry. Its interior were a mixture of minced chicken and pork meat, especially fattier pork. It was spiced with a small amount of black pepper, salt, onion and other herb. It was quite flavourful and delicious.*
Janine
*Takes a bite, it was good, can't complain about anything now. That sucks, this guys cooking is so good Ralki cannot complain to him about, what a horrible day this is.* "It's quite good, bartender" *Ralki admitted, there was no way she was going to lie about this, mostly out of obligations due to it being so good.*
Sam
*The bartender watched the customers consumes his pie. Other patrons in the bar were crowding around, buying pies one after another. It seems indeed, that this Tavern had a well-earned reputation for delicious pie,*"Glad you enjoy it! I've had people come all the way from New Salvainia just for the pie!"
Janine
*Ralki is in a state of absolute deliciousness, the smell of all the meat pie around her. Ralki cannot focus at all anymore, she's practically drunk on meat pie. How it's possible being drunk on meat pie is beyond me.* "Sooo... Good."
Lynda
*Stepping inside of the tavern is a strange sight. A white cat like beastkin with an Iquana sitting on his head enters the tavern, looking around.*

"Well. This is an interesting place."
Sam
*The Lora scratched his beard at the state Ralki is in. He has in fact, never seen someone so in love with his meat pie,*"Lady, you seems to really like the meat pie." *It was like... A scene straight from Shougeki no Soma*



"Welcome to **The** Tavern of Ie! Come try our famous meat pie. We have more on the menu. And drinks, and bed."
Alvin
*The small iguana raised her head, sniffing the air as her stomach rumbled*

"I hope they have some tasty food here!"
Lynda
*Jian stares straight at the Lora, drooling slightly.*

"M... Meat pie? How much?! Wait I don't have money... Do you accept manual labour as payment? I'll work to pay it off!"
Janine
*Ralki has snapped out of it, and disabled her insane smell.* "W-wait what happened?" *Ralki remembers being in a state of pure joy, but doesn't know what caused it.*
Alvin
*Peridot looked at him and giggled a bit before smiling* 

"I have some money, we can share a pie if you like, you brought me here after all, it'll be my thank you gift!"

*The talking iguana looked at the lora* "Could you give us a pie?"
Sam
*The Lora chuckled, turning toward Ralki,*"You seemed to be in utter bliss from eating the pie. Never seen someone like that before... Actually, I did, he was a hunter from New Sunlight.." 



*For some reason, totally not related to the player behind playing one character and a bartender split into two at once, Peridot and Jian would not notice Sirdan in the same bar for now.*

"Meat pie! Made with the finest chicken and pork, and the most delicious spice mix! Just five copper for a half-pounder, and nine copper for the one pounder pie." *The Lora stroked his beard,*"Well, I've got my kids and summons working the tavern, so I don't need anyone hired.."

*He looked at Jian, wondering whether to be generous and share a pie. Then the lizard on top of his head - yes, the lizard on top of his head, said she has money. He'll take her word for that,*"Sure, one pounder or half pounder?"
Lynda
"Uhh..."

*He looks up at Peridot.*

"Well that depends on this fine lady here, as apparently she's got the money."
Janine
*Oh, that's what happened. Ralki knows what caused that, 'note to self, never keep super smell active in a tavern, it's a terrible idea' Ralki thinks.* "Ah... Yes, it was an amazing pie."
Sam
"Right. Would you like a drink to go along with the pie? First mug of water or small beer's free - complementary with the pie."
Alvin
*She smiled at the man offering the pies to them* "We'll take the one pounder please~ We're two hungry people!"

*She looked down at her traveling companion*

"Could you let me down for a second?"
Janine
*Beer or water, both are fine, but which one is the better of the 2? Beer is the fun juice, while water is the healthy juice. Ralki had came up with which one she'll have, it will be the beer!* "Beer please!"
Lynda
*He does so, gently placing her down.*
Sam
"One pounder coming right up." *The Lora walked into the backroom, and then came out with a ~~swivel cannon loaded with a one pound cannonball, firing it at the hip and blasting a hole in Jian, Peridot and the tavern~~ 1 pounder meat pie. This one was slightly different from the other one in the batch, with slight burn on the crust, and a drier, crunchier crust as a result. It came with an extra plate and utensils.*



*He then grabbed a mug of small beer for Ralki. It was quite mild in alcoholic content. Like the ale here, it had a slight fruity and sweet task, almost masking the hops it was made with.*
Janine
*Takes a gulp, fresh ale always tastes great. However, Ralki knows that she is unable to have anymore, due to her being so full from the half pounder.* "Thanks for the great ale!"
Sam
"You're welcome lady." *He smiled, turning to give attention to the other patrons,*"Hope you had a nice meal."
Alvin
*As soon as she was on the ground, her small body began glowing and growing into a bigger and humanoid form, once her transformation was complete, her body stopped glowing, showing her humanoid looking body, with an iguana tail, she was holding her wooden staff in one hand, as if what happened was the most normal thing in the world and without giving much explanation, she simply took out of a pocket a silver coin, handing it over to the man*

"Thanks a lot, it looks like a really good pie~"
Janine
*Ralki looks at the other patrons, thinking of having a conversation. The most exciting people she sees in the white cat beastkin and Iguana, Ralki thinks that they would have great stories.* "Hello there, how's it going" *Ralki says to the Iguana and Beastkin.*
Lynda
*Jians just kinda stares blankly at Peridot.*

*He shrugs and takes his meat pie, smiling at Peridot.*

"Well now. Thanks for the pie~"
Sam
*The Lora blinked a bit, before accepting the silver coin with a routine,*"Thank you for your business" *He put it in a secure, magically-enchanted locker underneath the desk. Been there, seen that. Such is the life of a fantasy tavernkeeper.* 

"Enjoy!"
Alvin
"You're welcome, just let me have some pie as well, I'm hungry!"

*She sat down on a table so they could eat and waved hello at the unknown person*

"Hi! It's a good night today, what's your name?"
Janine
"The name is Ralki, a great potter! And now an adventurer, though I haven't went on an adventure before" Ralki admits, she isn't even the best at combat, the best thing she could offer is probably her wagon.*
Lynda
*A few moments later, Jian has consumed his half of the pie, sliding the rest over to Peridot.*

"There you go, And even split, and I'll be sure to pay you back for half the price... As soon as I have money. Unless you take manual labour as payment?"

*He says jokingly, chucking slightly... Though he would actually do it. Working for a person is easier then working for other people just to get money to pay a person with in his mind.*
Alvin
"Going on adventures is always fun, I took on a quest not so long ago, it felt good to be useful for someone"

*She smiled at Jian as she took the pie and began eating her half of it, wagging her tail as she did so*

"This thing tastes really good~ I wouldn't be able to eat something this good if I was a normal iguana~"

"You don't have to worry about paying me back, I'm always happy to help someone and in this case, feeding you makes me happy"
Lynda
*Jian smiles at her, happy to be travelling with her for however long she wants him around.*

"If you're sure... Then thank you!"
Janine
"Yeah, I've always just stayed at home and honed my earth molding magic, but that was soooo boring."
Alvin
"Don't worry"

*While eating some pie, Peridot gestured at Ralki to get closer* 

"Come sit with us, don't be shy" 

*She just likes to be with new people and being able to make 2 new friends in a single day, it was something that made her really happy*
Janine
*Sits closer* "So, what was that adventure you went on?"
Alvin
*She stopped eating and takes a deep breath so she could explain all that happened in one go* 

"I was hired by some guy that needed help from my guild to deal with giant chickens and wolves so they wouldn't ruin his farm, I took care of the problem got my reward and then decided that it would be good to explore as a small break, I went all the way to a weird place called Gumrak, met a really weird guy that apparently had killed some people, so I decided to run away from there, on my way back here I run into Jian"


*She pointed to her traveling partner*

"So we started to travel together, I wanted to show him around salvainia and we ended up here"
Janine
"Ah, makes sense" *Ralki is actually quite surprised, she just doesn't show it, but seriously, GIANT CHICKENS?!*
Alvin
*She nodded as she continued eating and finishing the last bit of her pie*

"Yep, giant chickens, they were bigger than me... I'm not the tallest person you'll meet... By you get the point, they were big"
Janine
*Thinks for a moment, and thinks some more, so much profit could be made of those chickens,* "That's insane!"
Alvin
"Yeah, one of them tried to peck me in the stomach when I was close to it, it could've hurt me a lot if I didn't block the attack"
Janine
"That must've sucked, but anyways, I'm done my meal, and I have to be going places, see ya." *Ralki leaves the tavern.*
Alvin
"See ya then" *She waved goodbye to Ralki*
Lynda
*Sensing an oppurtunity, Jian quickly reaches across the table and baps her on the nose before pulling his hand back.*

"Boop"
Alvin
*Peridot made a small squeaking like sound as she was bopped on the nose, blinking a couple of time before tilting her head at him* "What was that for?"
Lynda
*He shrugs and smiles at her.*

"Why not?"
Alvin
*She blinked a couple more times*

"I don't have a reason... I just never understood the reason behind doing that"

"You have a weird concept for fun"
Lynda
"Maybe. But you're a talking Iguana."
Alvin
"And you are a cat person... Or tiger? I'm not sure"
Lynda
"I... Am a majestic tiger!"
Alvin
*Her hand reaches forward to his nose, poking it for a second as she smiled*

"Boop~"
Lynda
*He smiles at her.*

"Did you have fun doing that?"
Alvin
*She nodded as she giggled a bit* "Yep, you were right, it's fun"

"Well, where do you want to go? Or what do you want to do now?" *She tilted her head as she looked at him*
Lynda
*He blinks at her.. Then slowly shrugs*

"Well I don't know. What do you normally do for fun?"
Alvin
*She rubbed her chin as she started thinking* "Not much... Practice my magic, explore around, climb trees... But it's a bit late to do some of those things... "
Lynda
"Well you know... There's this amazing technique passed down from ancient generations. A process that allows time to seemingly fly by at a rapid pace, and occasionally inducing a state of mind where your imagination runs wild..."

*He leans over and whispers to her quietly, sounding deadly serious.*

"I believe it was called... Sleep."
Alvin
*She blinked a couple of time* "I know what sleep is, where I'll stay is not far away from here... Talking about sleep, where will you sleep tonight?"

*She was worried that he might not have a place to stay since she basically dragged him all the way to salvainia*
Lynda
*He shrugs at her nonchalantly.*

"Eh no idea. Probably just find a nice patch of ground somewhere. I like sleeping outside. Being inside and all constricted is so uncomfortable, really."
Alvin
"Are you sure? You can stay at my room tonight if you like, I'm part of a guild and they give us rooms to stay at, it's not the biggest place, but I think it would be better than the ground"
Lynda
"Eh it's up to you really. What would you rather I do? I don't care either way."
Alvin
*Peridot stood up, stretching out her limbs* "Well, come with me then, you'll be better staying with me than in the dirt"
Lynda
*He nods and follows her.*
