Status: Skirt damaged, panties missing, quenching her thirst<br/>HP 68 of 83<br/>Spells remaining: 5 of 7 1st, 4 of 4 2nd, 0 of 1 from bonded object<br/><hr/>Stymied at the merchant's, she had to settle for a drink - and a flash of unfortunate realization, as she realized her simple plan to mend her skirt was doomed to failure.  She accepted her drink and turned her back to the bar, standing there and using it to conceal her ... clothing malfunction as she gulped down half a glass of wine.  Her thirst was something like the hunger had been... was it reflective of her body's needs as well?  But that didn't make as much sense, why would her real body have worked up a thirst, just because her virtual one was being thoroughly enjoyed, and enjoying itself?  Whatever the situation, the drink felt good going down, though maybe not the best choice for thirst.  She'd have to switch to something else after... ale?  No, mead would be better.<br/><br/>But... her skirt.  Normally she would have just given it a quarter-turn, but this particular design didn't hang right on the hips that way, it wasn't a simple band all around, but shaped to her form.  At least there were no PCs around to notice... the damage had already been done, so far as Ledude and Moonshadow were concerned!  Speaking of them, they must have gone upstairs already... hopefully the girl was getting what she needed.  Rayne's eyes flicked around the room, appreciating the changes... this, at least, was an improvement.  The NPCs should be part of the bar crowd, instead of having this some sort of out-of-character hangout.<br/><br/>She still needed a room.  Pulling a stool over, she slithered onto it and that way had at least some modesty - though the tear went up to the waistband, so not very much of that - as she turned to speak with the barkeep/innkeeper.  "...busy place this everning.  I'll need a room, for tonight at least, and I suppose I'll take a meal, whatever's up today for supper, with mead please."  She eyed him a moment, then softly spoke into her wine, trying a couple of system commands again.  No, they didn't work in here, either.<br/><br/>
