A man with dark tan skin and mousy unkempt brown hair runs over. He's well-muscled but not a particularly large man with a warm smile and a mischievous glint in deep amber eyes.
"I'm Ari," he introduces himself. "Pleasure t' meet ya, Finnegan."
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
Sorry, she's underground right now. Too far off to hear even with her kitty ears
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
No. She went into a trapdoor, down a tunnel, and is now in a noisy tavern. She'll be back soon
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
Soul glanced at the door, putting his helmet back on as he did so. "I don't think Thuki is going to get here right now," he concluded from the lack of an answer on Thuki's part. He looked around at the faces of the bar's occupants.
It was Zogin who spoke up next. "We're just found to have to survive until then," she said, switching the ammo of the her gun to a round of normal bullets. "If it doesn't attack people on their own, I suggest that everyone who can should evacuate. The rest of us can remain here and try to hold it off."
Spoiler
I just realized that Zogin can turn back time for nonliving objects. Would that be helpful in this situation? She can only go back to up to five minutes.
Sorry but if I did, it'd be metagaming and out of character. And I'd like to point out that they do know there are thieves in the room who know where Thuki is and can get her, so if you want to talk to one of them...
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
"Thuki? Who is that, the person whose tail I saw disappear back that way a while ago? If so, I can help you get her," Sacred shrugs, gesturing behind the counter.
"Why do I need money to live? Can't I just, like, photosynthesize or something?"
Finn stuck out his hand to give the man a firm shake. "Ari. ''Tis a pleasure t' meet you as well." He took in what he could get from the nature of Ari: the way he stood, the look in his eyes, the way he spoke. Man, this was official.
Clearing his throat and standing up a bit straighter, Finnegan spoke again, confidently. "I'm ready."
"Then come on this way. Go 'head back up t' yer bar, Thuki, I'm sure there's customers waitin'." He winks flirtatiously and saunters off, expecting Finn to follow. Thuki smiles and waves, disappearing into the crowd.
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
"I wouldn't necessarily call her that, but..." Sacred shrugs, looking at the woman. "I have her on targets for the next minute, but you have to hold onto my hand for us both to go," he extends his hand, his face stern, but not angry.
"Why do I need money to live? Can't I just, like, photosynthesize or something?"
