Looking over her shoulder she saw that the butler indeed had followed her. Grimacing she turned back to the barkeeper, took a sip from the drink and smiled. "I'm Lena. And that drink is perfect."

+ZincAboutIt Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Lita pulled her glasses down to the tip of her nose and burned tin, eyeing the tavern door over the rims of her round spectacles. They said this was the place, she thought, clutching her fur wrap tighter with a slight shiver. She tapped brass and some warmth trickled back into her body, chasing the tin-enhanced cold out of her bones. Lita settled a little deeper into her wrap, sensitive skin feeling the myriad tiny holes that moths had eaten into the soft mink fur. She needed a job, or it would be more moth holes and more cold and definitely no more imported Scadrian wine. With a tiny huff, she pushed open the door and ducked inside. It was surprisingly crowded, especially up at the bar, but the atmosphere was more welcoming than she had expected. Lita walked up to the barkeep, setting a few chrysts onto the counter. "Do you have anything warm back there, by chance?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lita felt a smile slip onto her face. "I'd love some choc," she said, recalling the first time she had tasted the sweet, earthy drink. It wasn't quite the taste of home, not her home - not Elendel. But it was the taste of good company. Lita looked over the tavern's occupants, noticing a woman drinking some kind of light-purple concoction like it was her solemn duty. She could smell it from where she stood, tin letting her pick up the sharp sting of intoxicating drink. "That kind of day, is it?" Lita said casually, tipping her head at the woman's cup. @Sorana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Thank you," Lita said, sipping the hot liquid. She nestled deeper into her fur wrap, savoring the taste. Was there anything better than eating while burning tin? There were so many flavors in food that she could never have picked up without it. "So," she said, setting down the cup. "I hear this is the place to advertise for hire. Where might I do that?"

Lita raised an eyebrow, taking another sip of her choc. It was rare she met someone with a name even close to her own. She gave the tavern another glance, half-expecting someone named Lora or Lana to jump out of the woodwork and introduce themselves as well. "And you," she said. "I'm Lita. Never been here before, but word on the street is this is the place to get a job when your skillset is... less than conventional." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lita chewed her lip a bit, the pain sharper and cleaner with her tin on, and looked at the woman. She seemed pleasant, but there was a subtle undercurrent of danger about her. No different than everyone else in this rusting city, she thought. "Scadrial," she finally said. "From the Basin." Lita glanced at the butler, impressed.

"I'm from Sel, originally. But I've lived here for a few years." Lita nodded. Assets. She'd poisoned the first man who had used her as an asset, and then she'd run headlong into the employ of a dozen others. "I've heard Sel is beautiful," Lita said, "but dangerous to get to. Something about dead gods?" She wiggled her fingers through the air. "Anyway, I don't suppose you know someone who could use an excellent listener?

I think I am here. Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Lusk pushed open the door gently and limped inside the bar. Drinks had never been his passion, though the situation at Oasis had been particularly stressful on husband old heart, and so he’d come here. It wasn’t as bad as it sounded. He tapped Atium to a age where he wasn’t so fragile and sat next to a woman who looked about twenty years old. ( @Silva) “What’s your least favourite drink to make?” He asked the bartender. He would order that, just for kicks. ( @Invocation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I appreciate it, Lena," she said. "Good luck with your shadow over there." She nodded towards the butler and walked towards the notice board. Lita sighed, finished her drink, and tore a scrap of paper off one hanging sheet, writing her qualifications down: Tineye, poison-mixing experience/antidotes, covert surveillance, espionage. Contract work only, no direct kills, no combat. Ask for Lita A. She tacked it up in a corner of the board and made to leave, but turned at the last minute and addressed Lena. "It's inevitable, isn't it? Joining with one group or another? I know the kind of game I'm playing, and it's the kind where I end up dead unless I've got friends. It's just... if we're all simply assets in someone's arsenal, how can we ever be sure that those 'friends' won't kill us first?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Freedom glanced up at the man who'd sat down next to her, taking a sip from her still mostly full glass of water. For now he seemed mostly entertained by bothering the bartender. Judging from the limp he'd walked in with, she was sort of glad to not be the center of his focus.
