Um... Well, very happy to be here!<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong> A Smile  ;)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong> Everyone at the Bar/Great Room | OPEN<br/></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">The <em>intense</em> speed with which the small, burst of flames rocketed down the chimney of the Green Lion Pub suggested that the phoenix was escaping from something, though no one could be for certain. Not yet. <strong>FLOOSH!</strong> A roar, a spit, a flash of sudden, brilliant fire hit the bottom of the chimney, propelling the magical bird outward, and into the room, while igniting whatever amount of logs and tinder where left behind in the fireplace. This fire burned too hot and too bright, and was not the least bit romantic.<br/><br/>The panicked phoenix, now given the freedom to move about, stretched her blazing, powerful wings outward, rapidly increasing in size from a tiny hen to a proud eagle. <em>Oh, there were many beings in here!</em> The phoenix, still ablaze, spun in easy loops and circles as she peered about this new place. <em>The building looked so quiet… Quaint? From the Outside.</em> There was... Well, were any of them mortal? All of them were very pretty. And all of them could see her, <em>looking</em> down at them. "Kaw!" She let out a fiery shriek, suddenly unsure of where to land, still spinning in the air around the busy, and startlingly popular bar.<br/><br/>Phoenixes were supposed to be far more subtle. After multiple lifetimes, this particular one <em>should</em> have learned that lesson. The bird twirled in the air even more, too wild for her own good. Tiny embers fell from the tips of her glowing, radiant wings and tail feathers, as she soared away from the bar, past more patrons, trying her earnest not to lite anything <em>else</em> on fire. <em>Door, door, door!</em> The phoenix dove into the lobby of the inn, and was followed by another <strong>SWOOSH!</strong> as her flames burned impossibly bright, then disappeared altogether.<br/><br/>“Huh-h-Hi…” The sharp sound that erupted from her lips was more of a bird <em>squawk</em> than a human greeting. She sighed and tried again, stepping towards the entryway to the great room and bar on two, toned <em>legs</em>. “Hello.” The phoenix said, sticking <em>just</em> her head in the door frame, as her human voice finally settled into a warm, cheerful tone. She raised one smooth, bronzed arm into the room, and lowered it, guiding the raging fire in the chimney to a medium, cozy simmer. Now the fireplace <em>was</em> romantic. “I’m… <em>Naked</em> and I’m Cleo.” She titled her brunette head, smiling playfully at the full room of creatures, as she kept the rest of her bare, human form hidden on the other side of the door frame. “Might I borrow your curtains?” A memorable first impression, nonetheless.</span>
