@all
Hello!
@Alk
Cool! Have fun!

a week ago I was actually wishing I could see them in concert haha. First concert too so I think it's gonna be pretty cool. :)

Hi Xeno!

let me post my comment so we can get rolling lol

@Rad/Xeno
Euterpe glared as Pyre and Arc walked off. "What do they mean? 'We'll see each other again'. " She asked tilting her head a bit.

(Short short, I'll be around doin hw.)

( @Xeno - Hi!
@Alk - Ahhh I think it'd be cool to go to a big concert, but alas, nothing ever happens where I live. XD)

@Alk

Dianne: “It’s just a greeting here. Colloquialism, that’s all. Here, my establishment is this way.”

{Dianne begins to lead the group down the street. On the corner, The Serpent’s Tomb can be seen.}

Dianne: “That’s it.”

{She says while pointing.}

Arc and Pyre swiftly made their way through the neighbourhood towards Gray, the bassist's, house. On foot, it took a few minutes to get there, but since Arc didn't drive anyway, he didn't feel any different and was humming cheerfully to himself as they walked along. 'What time is it?' he asked.

Pyre glanced at his phone. 'Mhmm, around noon.'

'Good. That gives us time to mentally prepare Stal before we go out later,' Arc chuckled.

The pair walked up the driveway to Gray's house and went inside, finding the door unlocked.

(Haha yea, I live in a boring state, a lot of the interesting things happen elsewhere, where going to see them in NYC soooo long drive in and out pfff)

@Xeno
"Ooooooooh" Said Euterpe. "That's weird"

"Do you live in that? It's a very nice house" Shepherd asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, you must be rich!" Exclaimed Euterpe.

@Alk
{Dianne chuckles at their reaction.}

Dianne: “Yes, well, I am doing fairly well for myself. I don’t live there, that’s just my business. I provide the people of this city with food, drink, and entertainment. By the way, what are your names? I feel bad calling you boy and dragoness.”

Upon entering the house, Arc and Pyre were almost immediately confronted by an all-too-familiar sight: Stal pacing agitatedly around the living-room while Gray attempted to placate him. In the corner stood Loch, messing with her guitar. 'Oh, hi guys,' she greeted them as they entered the room.

Arc eyed Stal cautiously. 'Are you... alright?'

'No!' Stal snapped. 'We finally had a chance, a CHANCE, to perform at one of the most renowned venues in East Caelum and we might have LOST it thanks to this idiot!'

Pyre looked slightly alarmed. 'Stal, I told you everything's gonna be fine. They're not gonna refuse to let us perform over a silly thing like that.'

'He's right,' said Arc soothingly. 'And even if they do... well, it's not the end of the world. Just chill out. We need to look calm and confident when we go over there, right?'

@Xeno
"Whoah you feed the entire city?" Shepherd said with amazement? "That's a lot of people to take care of."

He stopped for a moment when she asked for their names. "Oh yeah, I'm Shepherd, but Shep is fine. The dragoness is Euterpe, and this is Marco! Marco Polo!" Shepherd said holding up his dog excitedly.

(lmao why is there a question mark there pff)

The band were busy discussing their plans when they were rudely interrupted by a loud crash from outside. It was quickly followed by a yell of outrage. 'What was that?' said Arc nervously, glancing towards the window.

'I'll go have a look,' Pyre offered. He stepped outside, just in time to see a huge dog-like creature sprinting across the road with a tangle of gold necklaces dangling from its jaws. From the house next door, a middle-aged woman emerged, yelling after the beast furiously.

'Thief!' she exclaimed.

'...Thief?' Pyre repeated stupidly.

'Yes, thief! I'll bet it was one of those horrible werewolves who run around these parts! That mongrel just took off with half of my best jewelry!'

After consoling the woman and telling her that he'd get her jewelry back if he ever saw the werewolf again, Pyre went back inside.

'Well?' said Stal impatiently.

'It was a werewolf stealing from next door,' Pyre replied, scratching his head. 'Apparently this has been happening a lot lately?'

'Oh, yeah,' grunted Stal. 'I heard something about a gang of werewolf criminals who run around, stealing stuff and then vanishing into thin air. The police don't seem to be able to do anything.'

'The police here /are/ pretty useless,' said Loch. 'I've heard about these guys, too. Apparently they call themselves the Robin Brigade. They're very mysterious.' She grinned. 'Honestly, I think they're kind of cool. They only seem to steal from the richest people in town, so we'll probably be safe.'

Stal just grunted indifferently and started writing on a lyric sheet for a song he was working on, effectively bringing an end to the werewolf discussion.

(Novellll postssss)

(Ehehehe)

(I need to get those refs for Den and Althea, they'd probably be good fit as thieves lol)

(Yeees, I've been looking forward to seeing those two.)

{Dianne looks at Shep with an amused look.}
Dianne: “Oh, no, I own just one of many restaurant. I’m not solely responsible for feeding this entire city. Shepherd and Euterpe? Those are nice names. And this one’s Marco? He’s a real trouble maker from what I’ve heard.”

{Dianne smiles and pats Marco’s head.}

@Xeno
Shepherd stared off to think again. "There must be a lot of them then. Yeah, he's still a pup."

"You mean a rat." Corrected Euterpe. "The little mongrel only thinks a bout his stomach."

(If I have sometime after getting my hw done I'll see if I can doodle them with updated info. :) )

@Alk

Dianne: "Well, what did you expect, Euterpe? He's a dog. If you want him to act like anything else, you need to train him."

While Stal's band returned to their conversation, thinking nothing of the day's events, the werewolf who had stolen the necklaces was dashing through the mostly-deserted back alleys of East Caelum. A pile of rotting cardboard and plastic bags lay abandoned in one such alley, and he paused to eye his surroundings before kicking the rubbish aside to reveal a roughly-shaped hole in the ground underneath.

Jumping down, he landed in a tunnel that ran beneath the city streets. From below, he carefully dragged the rubbish back over the hole to conceal it from passers-by.

'Wilfred?' a low voice, tinted with a refined accent, spoke up from the shadows.

The werewolf turned to see a brown-haired, bespectacled man standing a little further down the tunnel. His amber eyes flickered down to observe the gold necklaces hanging from the beast's jaws.

@Xeno
"Well it wasn't my idea to keep him." Euterpe muttered

"He's a good dog, honest." Shepherd said quickly
"He's just a bit confused.."

The werewolf shifted into his human form and, without hesitation, handed the necklaces over to the other man. 'They should be worth a fair bit,' he said. 'We could sell them.'

The bespectacled man nodded thoughtfully. 'Yes, I think so. Well done. Where did you get them from?'

'Some old lady,' Wilfred replied. When the other man eyed him suspiciously, he added, 'She had more than enough of these things. She won't even notice the difference.'

'Hmm. Very well then. Be careful out there, Wilfred. You're playing a risky game, doing things like this in broad daylight. I wish you'd wait till nightfall, but I know you won't.'

'Don't worry, Mason. I'm being careful...'

@Alk
Dianne: “I believe you, Shepherd. Just keep a tight leash on him while we’re inside. The cook will lose his mind if he gets loose in the kitchen.“

{Dianne walks up to the front door and holds it open for the group.}

@Xeno
"Alright, thank you! What's you're name by the way?" Shepherd asked curiously?

{Dianne smiles as she closes the door behind them.}
Dianne: "I'm Dianne."

{Just then, th group is approached by a less than pleased Stella.}

Stella: "Well, it's about time you got here, Dianne! I've been waiting for you all morning!"

Dianne: "And this cheerful ray of sunshine is Stella, my head of entertainment."

(I'll probably be dropping off the map now; I think my wifi is being turned off soon.
My characters are kinda inactive at this particular moment anyway. XD)

@Rad Ok, goodnight!

(Sounds like a good time to break, :)
I'll reply tommorrow :00
Also since next Saturday I'm at a concert I probably won't be here to rp, :[ )

( @Alk ok, cool.)

@Xeno
Shepherd gave a slight wave towards Stella, while Euterpe snorted a little bemused at the sight.

"This place is full of surprises." She uttered quietly to herself.

@Alk
Stella: "I could do without the sarcasm, Dianne. I've got two no-shows for tonight's lineup, and some creeper from that band you want me to see was snooping around here this morning."

Dianne: "It's fine, Stella, that one's a little touched in the head. He's basically harmless. So, two no-shows? No problem. We'll have two bands play twice as long."

{Stella just sighs, rubbing her face.}
Stella: "Ok, let's discuss this later. You have guests. If you need me, I'll be in my office."

{As Stella walks away, Dianne turns to Euterpe and Shepherd.}

Dianne: "Alright, you two hungry? Also, Euterpe, are you carnivorous or omnivorous? Can't bring a salad to a carnivore."

(Oof going to be slow this week ahhh)
@Xeno
"Huh?" She tilted her head looking confused. "I've always wanted to try a good bowl of fruit, but it's hard to find berries in the highlands and farming villages always would chase me off. Calling me a devil that'd gobble their children. But all I wanted was some watermelons. Maybe I'd try their chickens."
"I think we'd be fine with anything honestly." Mumbled Shepherd.

( @Alk Don't worry about it. It's all good.)

{Dianne blinks a few times at the nebulous response.}

Dianne: "Omnivore it is...Ok, come, sit. I'll have the cook bring you something."

{Dianne then leads the group to a table in the middle of the room, then walks into the kitchen.}

Dianne: "Sammy, give me a large ceasar salad, a steak and a baked potato with everything on it. Oh, and put extra chicken and throw some extra berries on the salad."

Sammy: "You got it, boss."

(I'm back but I'm probably going to be only able to do on weekends when he is sm of a problem. ://// )

hw*
Isn't*

@Alkaline
Priorities. It’s all good.

(I haven't posted here in so long fdggdfhsd--
It's all good Alk!

I'm going to maaaybe try and get some more events going soon; not much going on right now and my characters aren't doing anything... I'll probably be slow though.)

(Thx for understanding! :000
And oooo exciting!
And slowness be all around lately haha.)

(Gonna be posting a new room to continue in tomorrow, but it's OK if everyone's too busy to RP tomorrow. X))
