((Is absolutely wonderful to see so much back and forth! ^_^ I approve! <3 Adore when the party interacts so much! I'm still working on the vore/escape bonuses, but for now...time to get this moved on! >:3 Also, Alyx...will likely not be saying/doing a whole lot, since their player disappeared! ))<br/><br/>With the group comfortably seated at the table, it gives ample opportunity to drink in their surroundings. The place was just...CLEAN, a very pleasant change from the general grime and sea-scum that covered the exterior of the building, and most of the buildings in Port Tyval. Though the majority of the patrons were still the rough-and-tumble type, under the watchful (and sometimes stern) eye of the vulpine bouncer, disagreements tended to be verbal only. Various games of skill and chance could even be spied from time to time. A game of darts set against the southern wall, played for a large pile of coins that were stacked upon the nearby table. The lowest scorer, it seems, was forced to down a shot of who-knows-what before the next round was played. Needless to say, the little group was drunk, and growing progressively moreso as the night wore on. A nearby table had a match of Arm Wrestling going on, and just beyond it a card game of some sort was well under way. The clatter of dice could be heard over the din as well, though it was just a bit out of sight.<br/><br/>Though Johan didn't get a verbal reply, every so often he can see the bouncer looking in his direction, either looking away again with a little laugh, or getting a mirthful grin, though the big fellow does not leave his post, save to quieten down a group of unruly patrons when they get a little too loud and boisterous, or it seems like trouble is brewing. It, surprisingly, take very little effort for the big fellow to get people to calm down, even when a bit outnumbered. Clearly, the establishment's patrons knew something that they didn't. Still, it was pleasant enough that the peace was kept.<br/><br/>"Ahhhh, that's MUCH better." Naji says with a little sigh, settling herself down into one of the high-backed chairs that stretched the length of the rectangular table "Pack was getting a lil' heavy. We got a good enough haul. Now, if we could just get a drink--" Hardly had the words left the Drow's mouth when the waitress bounced up and asked for orders.<br/><br/>The waitress herself was a pretty thing, with golden blonde hair that was pulled back into a neat-looking ponytail, and a dress that - while a little stained from a few spilled drops of some unknown beverage - was surprisingly clean and well maintained. She was certainly 'blessed' as some might call it, with ample enough breasts to make a valley of cleavage in her low-cut top, the various lacy ruffles that surrounded it's edging only drawing more attention to the softness of that expanse of peachy skin. Her deep emerald eyes briefly catch Alura's own, the fairy's apparent interest drawing a little red flush from the pretty girl's cheeks "Ahaha! Anything from me? Well, I have plenty of drinks to offer! As for food, I know just the thing for a pix-no, fairy! Aww, and this must be your sister!" She leans forward and places her hands on her thighs to give Anastasia a better look. It, needless to say, only drew more attention to the soft, enticing skin of her breasts and the delicate curvature of her collar and neck "I'll bring you a lil' something too, cutie!"<br/><br/>Anastasia instantly brightens up, her little wings fluttering happily behind her, nearly enough to lift her right out of her seat "Oh! Heee, thank you! Something fruity! Um, no alcohol for me though, okay?"<br/><br/>With a nod of her head, the waitress beams a bright smile "Of course! Oh, my name is Tina! I'll be serving you tonight! As for our services, we have rooms for rent! We can also provide private entertainment in the form of dancers, musicians, whatever you'd like! There's also...other services." She pauses for a moment, as if waiting for someone to stop her. When noone immediately pipes up, she continues "...for those of more discerning tastes. We have predators for those wishing to experience certain thrills, without the fear of ending up increasing someone's waistline! We also have those willing to take a trip into hungry individuals - no digesting them, of course. There's also those willing to provide more...sexual services, massages, or any other number of things! Really, it's a place for ever--what?"<br/><br/>Sasara's question of how much it would be to DIGEST her makes Tina's face redden slightly, though it was hard to tell if it was embarrassment or something else "I...I uh...well, I don't wanna be digested. I'm actually not one of the 'service providers'. Just a waitress! I've never eaten anything more fearsome than a sandwich, not that it's not made me curious, and I've been lucky enough to stay um...un-eaten. Not that people haven't tried! But, Milo--" She casts a little glance towards the bouncer, before returning her attention to the group "-- tends to shut that down pretty fast. Course, he only tends to the common room. What happens behind closed doors, or the curtains...well, that's private!"<br/><br/>When Lea makes her approach, Tina sidesteps enough to let her take a seat, her smile brightening even more - though that hardly seems possible "Oh! Hi there! Saw you sitting over there all alone, was gonna come say hello! I see you were waiting on people!" As Lea introduces herself, Tina's attention again turns to Johan "Watered down wine and a room - I can do that! Rooms are classified based on size. I don't think we have anything large enough for ALL of you unless some of you don't mind sleeping on the floor. Two large rooms oughta fit you all - and we do have some on the ground floor! I think the maids are actually cleaning them up now, so they'll be ready any time you feel like resting! Rooms include coffee and breakfast as well, and checkout time is generally around noon!"<br/><br/>Anya and Chrysanthemum order drinks, with Yumina requesting 'The strongest, cheapest stuff available'. Meera, surprisingly enough, cheerily asks for 'water', earning a slightly puzzled look from Tina, but it's quickly replaced by a smile "Okay! Well, I'll get your things! Give me just a few moments! Please, let me know if you need anything else! I'll let you know your rooms after you decide amongst yourselves! " With that, she turns and veritably skips back up to the bar, leaning in to talk to the proprietress and get the drinks coming. Drodjee opens her mouth to say something (likely to order something for herself, given it wasn't her coin), but Johan's forceful smack on her flank turns whatever she'd been intending to say into a surprised yelp, and a baleful look at the bold human who shoulda been PADDING where he was slapping. As he'd already felt, Drodjee's backside was nice - firm enough to have a little muscle, but soft and enticing as well, with just enough curvature to be attractive "Grr. Look, are you going to keep me standing around all night? Why don't you just cut me outta these bonds and and we part ways, huh? Y'not gonna get no coin for me."<br/><br/>When Lea asks for introductions, Naji is the first to speak up, her intense gaze shifting to the new arrival "..Name is Naji. I'm the De Facto quartermaster of this little group, if not the boars as a whole. I just make sure we don't go over budget, sell what I can sell, and make sure we make good use of deals. Also make sure blunderhead doesn't end up swirling a toilet." She casts her gaze towards Johan, a faint smirk just barely curving the edges of her lips.<br/><br/>Anya offers her own little wave, leaning forward a little to make herself a bit more visible around Cyria's bulk "I'm Anya! Just the cook. Also have some skills in natural poultices and first aid for when healing magic is too taxing. Nothing too special, but I can do a little bit of everything if there is need." Brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes, she adjusts her outfit, pulling it down a little more over her thighs where it had started to ride up "Really just along to make sure everyone's well-being is maintained, and to provide a solid moral compass when there's a dilemma!" Sitting back down, she casts her eyes over to Chrysanthemum, who stands up as well.<br/><br/>"Chrysanthemum! Cleric. Just provide healing and divine support for those who require it. Still learning, and this is part of my training!" Her robes appeared just a little TOO voluminous, making it difficult to discern her exact body style. However, she was a little on the short side and had an exceptionally cute, innocent-looking face, the sort that could melt a heart with a glance.<br/><br/>Anastasia, who'd been bouncing in her seat, finally hops up and starts fluttering in the air, hovering over the table until she's close enough to touch Lea "I'm Anastasia! Alura's sister! Um...I'm kinda a druid in training! But...gotta learn on my own, now. I am totally the best berry-collector there is, too! I, um...well, that's about it. I don't like fighting. I just help how I can." Reaching out briefly to stroke Lea's cheek, Anastasia gives a little giggle and flutters back, though remains standing in her seat, leaning over to get a better look as everyone introduces themselves.<br/><br/>With a little flick of her wrist, Yumina - not even getting up, and keeping her other hand on her now-loudly churning stomach, stroking happily - says "Yumina. I fight people. I do it for money. Sometimes, I eat them. Will do that for free." With a little 'Mmph', she reaches beneath one of her arms and unstraps a buckle, shrugging it free and pulling her entire 'breastplate' off over her head. The relief that floods her face is immediate, earning a little sigh of delight. Her top was simple - just some leather 'flaps' that barely covered her breasts, which even now rested upon her happily churning stomach - and with her armor removed, her large belly seems to grow slightly more, no longer held back by metal "MMmmffff....gods, that's better. Ugh, been a while since I've been this full. Totally worth getting my butt kicked earlier." Setting her armor down on the floor beside her chair, Yumina roams her hands across the vague shapes of the digesting siblings in her belly, her eyes fluttering in delight.<br/><br/>Meera - biting her lip the entire time to resist blurting out her own introduction out of turn - finally bounces to her feet, pumping both arms enthusiastically into the air "Yay! I'm the kitty specialist! I um...just kinda got hired on today! I'm...a specialist! At things I do! Oh! OH! My name is Meera-uuuurrrrrppppp!" A shocked expression suddenly crosses her face, both hands flying to her mouth faaaar too late to cover up the burp. Cheeks burning red, and ears flattened against the top of her head, she sits back down with all due haste "Oh..oh...um...that was just half-elf. Super tasty half elf. She's still a bit squirmy. Sorry..." Giving her tummy a little thump, Meera whispers - though still loudly enough to be heard, even in the noisy common room "That was ruuuuude! Don't make me burp when I'm introducing myself! Now she'll think I'm gross." A muffled whimper escapes her belly, followed by a little, piteous bulge of a hand towards the frontside of her stomach, the impression briefly clear in her soft, bronzen skin. The sensation is enough to leave Meera's expression a happy daze, eyes half-lidded as her tummy continues to work on the heavily-weakened half-elf within. Odds are, her food would not be lasting too terribly much longer.<br/><br/>((Little edit beyond this point))<br/><br/>When the point of conversation shifts to 'who's butt to take orders from', Naji just exhales a little laugh "...Oh, goodness. This group..." Rubbing a hand over the bridge of her nose, she nonetheless does actually perk up slightly when Alura mentions her pretty high on the list. Though it's difficult to tell beneath her hand, it appears as though the faintest hints of a smile just start to crease her lips before she forces it back to stoicism. Yumina, on the other hand, just lets out a full-fledged laugh, wiping one finger at the edge of her eyes "Heh, you're alright fairy. Second my butt starts giving orders, I'll be the first to let you know."<br/><br/>Meera, on the other hand, bounces up hard enough to nearly knock her chair down in the process, her tail flicking happily back and forth behind her "Me?! Oh gosh! Well, when you got it..." turning around, the easily-excitable catgirl puts her hands on her chair and perks her butt up, lifting her tail straight up in the air. The view was...mesmerizing. For being such a ditz, she was nonetheless quite beautiful, and her 'good looks' didn't just stop at the front. Her short leather skirt is not even close to long enough to hide the cheeks of her butt with her tail lifted, and the glimpse of black panties beneath leaves just enough to the imagination to be enticing. The cheeks of her rump were nearly perfectly rounded and soft-looking, though there was some apparent muscle within - likely enough to make a kick by the girl pretty strong. The enticing, bronzen flesh was so smooth and supple, so rounded and plump, it was a sight that was difficult to NOT glance at, much less look away from "...You got it! Hee. I dunno what order it'd give though..."<br/><br/>With introductions made, Tina weaves her way back to the table and starts passing out drinks, humming quietly to herself as she dances from person to person.
