::He grabs the pot and slides it down the bartop towards the man along with the bottle of brandy:: 15 gold coins ::He then turns to the lady and smiles for a brief moment, then reaches beneath the counter and produces an odd colored liquied almost black. He pours a small amount into a tumbler and slides it to her:: Try that my lady... by they way it will be 2 gold coins.

*sets two gold coins on the counter and then takes the drink*
*looks at the liquid a moment and then quickly downs it*
*sighs deeply,then looks up at Rose*
"Thank you, sir"

*looks to Jade with her ice-blue eyes, throwing him a quick smile before returning her gaze to the counter*

::he chuckles a hint of maddness touching it:: Im glad it served you well...he takes the coins and places them in the strongbox.::

*places the 15 coins upon the table. . .smiling lightly to the lady and returning my attention to the coffee*

*after a few minutes I lean my head on the bar and fall into a light sleep. . .almost trancelike*



(I'l be back later. . . I'm already half an hour late for work)

*raises a brow slightly at the laughter, and looks at rose curiously* What's the laugh for?

*raises head slightly off the table to speak before drifting off again*

seem like you've been through a lot. . .if you need a place to rest my room's open. . .upstairs . . .2nd door to the right I believe. . .if you need me. . . . . .*mumbles off after writing an enscription on the map layed out on the counter. . .it reads (225)2127299

(I'm really leaving now, seriously, I'm an hour late. . .this site is addictive. . .oh, and that's a pager # . . .out of "pure" curiosity. . .I'm wondering if it's possible to recieve a page from so many leagues away. . .it's probly just a waste of your time anyway. . .but it's worth a shot. . .suprise me. . .)

((*hopes Jade was talking to her otherwise she'd feel quite stupid after this post*))

*walks over to Jade and sets a hand on his shoulder*

A thousand thanks, sir. It is very much appriciated.

*takes the map and looks at the inscription, smiling slightly, and then heads off towards the room.*

*once she gets into the room, flops on the bed tiredly*

::Stumbles into the tavern, clutching his side, his hands and shirt stained with blood::

Has anyone seen a guy carrying a bag that had a human kidney in it?

::Looks around for an answer, finds none, then slowly walks out::

**I walk in as all eyes turn and land on me <instant silence>**

**walks to the corner and sits down in the shadows - raises two fingers to signal the waitress**

**waits patiently, setting gun on the table**

:enters with a human head mounted on a plaque:

I just thought I would leave this where his friends can see it. Tell ya what, how about a drink for everyone , on me.

:jingles washleather coin sack:

::He places the money in the strongbox then calls out to Manifisto:: what would you like sir...

::He shrugs at the head and places it in a darkned corner not really paying it any more heed::

I'll have a bottle of the best you have to offer.

**speaks slowly and deeply with a slight southern draw**

yeah, Ill take a whiskey sour if you please.

::He reaches beneath counter and comes back with the bottle with the same dark liquid as before and a bottle of whiskey

There's nearly two hundred in that pouch.

::he hands the bottle of black liquid to Wicked and the whiskey to Manifesto:: that will be 5 gold piecese Wicked and that will be 3 gold pieces Manifisto...

Let me know when my credit runs out. Then I'll go get another head...

::he places the pouch in the strongbox and nods:: as you wish, enjoy the drink may it serve you well.
