He had been to the City of Lust on one occasion in passing. This time, as before, he was given a very wide berth, even by the most raucous of citizens. His armor clanked loudly against the ground like gongs with each step, a horrid noise among the more subtle, refined, and tantalizing sounds that could be heard leaking from the doorways and windows of the money brothels, strip joints, and alleys that walled the street he walked upon. He was as a stone in a stream, the crowd moved around him, not daring to impede him in any way. His weapon clung to his back by a clamp-like device in his armor while a sheath hanged by his hip. The scabbard was a makeshift deal but surprisingly sturdy, obvious due to the fact that the sword within had not cut its way free. It was strange to see something like him, full suit of armor, fully armed. In a city where the modest folk are normally showing off their assets, the looks he received for the stories that followed him were exacerbated by those that wondered what was under the metal and mystique.<br/><br/>While the fully grown were content to throw fleeting glances the younger were more adventurous in their perusal of the Drifter. Young women and men would 'accidentally' brush against him, the more daring would grab a hold and whisper to him. Proposals, invitations, offers of pleasure that would have made an escort blush. For him, continuing to walk was an easy choice and so he did, leaving several disappointed and pouting souls in his wake that very quickly found new subjects for their affections. The sound of a tinny piano floated forth from a doorway on his left, it was oddly alluring and warranted a glance. It was at this time that he noted the woodwork of the place, standing out amongst the metal construction, a sort of foil to himself. The fact that it also seemed to double as an inn drew him in further as his path was diverted to the entrance.<br/><br/>Stepping through the portal, he found himself somewhere completely new. It reminded him of...something. Blank, just a blank space. Shaking off the unease, Ogun took another step and was accosted on all sides. The music drifted all along the place, hanging in the air like the horde of different perfumes that emanated from all of the scantily clad women. The arms of a pair of young employees grasped him by the arms. The metal mountain visibly shuddered at the surprise contact  and very nearly broke the attendants before suppressing the command and gently excusing himself.<br/><br/>Sitting next to a fine specimen of the Tailed People, he sat down and put a heavy strain on the seat. The construction groaned under his weight before he started to tap on the bar, beckoning for the keeper's attention.<br/><br/><i><span style="color: olive">"I am in need of lubricant."</span></i><br/><br/>His voice was strange, it seemed to emanate from all directions as if his entire being spoke. The keeper flinched at the sound and gently rubbed at his forehead at the small tugging feeling that suddenly emanted from his forehead before smiling wickedly at the metal man and chuckling.<br/><br/>"Water-based or oil-based?"<br/><br/>There was a small pause as the customer process the question and proceeded to clarify on his own.<br/><br/><i><span style="color: olive">"I am in need of lubricant. For my armor."</span></i><br/><br/>The high elven bartender made the universal 'Oh' face as he sized up Ogun and made a hand signal to another employee across the room.<br/><br/>"It'll be here in a jiff sir."<br/><br/>Ogun nodded before waiting, not making any kind of move to have a conversation until he shifted his head by the slightest degree and caught sight of something even stranger than the wooden building amongst metal. A tiny, tiny being hung about a young Tailed One's ear. Watching even closely he could see that it was strange, something he had never seen before. Immediately he was captivated, observing its movements as it poked at the Tailed One's ear. Ogun coughed and suddenly spoke up.<br/><br/><i><span style="color: olive">"What is that...strange creature?"</span></i><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
