Senzei, with his army shirt wide open and his dog tags jingling against his chest, strode through the streets of Tiranoc, a small smile on his lips, and a cigarette in his right hand.
It had been a good day. Not only had he woken up to a beautiful lady laying asleep next to him (whose name had slipped his mind...) he'd also managed to get some good sketches done during the afternoon. One of his models, an old man, had even paid him five Ren for his sketch - which he was about to spend in the first tavern he could find. After all, what better a way to spend the evening than drinking with complete strangers?
As he turned down a side street, he heard the familiar laughter and smelt the familiar smell of alcohol, and he stopped. In front of him, halfway down the street, was a tavern called ‘The Peaceful Side Tavern’. He chuckled, placing the cigarette in his mouth, and taking a long drag from it. Blowing out smoke, he shook his head and muttered;
“Peaceful, eh? Well, perhaps that’s just what I need. They say a soldier comes back from duty to rest, so let’s do something about that, shall we? Maybe they'll even have living quarters available...”
Marching forwards, he pushed the door to the tavern open, and walked in. Breathing deeply, he winced against the candle light, which was such a contrast to the heavy darkness outside. He inhaled the smell of beer and tobacco, feeling his muscles relax with that old, familiar ache.
Scanning the room, he took in the quaint decor. Yes, he could grow to like this tavern. It was about time he found himself somewhere to stay, and this might very well be the place.
He walked up to the bar, nodding at the various patrons, and waited to be served…

Dag was snoozing in the corner when his waiter intuiton struck. He lifted his head waking himself from his light snooze. Once he fully regained conscienceness he saw a young man standing waiting to be served. This man had light grey hair from the distance he was at, Dag appeared infront of him.
"What can I get for you? Would you like a seat? My name is Dag, and I am your server this fine evening."
Dag said in a old, raspy voice. He then stood there shifting his weight to his cane, waiting for the order.

Senzei smiled at the apparition of a man before him. Looking into his eyes, he felt that he was staring into an abyss, and realized the man must be a spirit of some kind. His mind wandered back to the battlefield, to the confrontations of different races, and he remembered staring into the eyes of a being somewhat similar to this, and he shivered.
Squaring his shoulders, and running a hand through his thick hair, Senzei struggled to regain his composure. He’d been like this since the battle – everything had felt slightly surreal, and he felt as though he had yet to come down to earth.
Grinning, he leant forward, placed some Ren on the bar top, and said;
“A pint of your finest beer and shot of your strongest sprit if you would, my good man. Also, a room for the night would be much appreciated, if there is such a thing in this quaint tavern? I’m looking for long-term lodgings, so mayhap that would be possible?”
He looked around the room, scanning it for a friendly face with which to sit and while away the night’s long hours. Seeing none, he settled himself at the bar, and winked at the old man.
“Don’t suppose you have any large-breasted beautiful women back there behind the bar, do you?”
Chuckling, he shook his head. Truth be told, Senzei preferred the tougher, spunkier women (or men) to the stereotypical airhead, but his bravado would suffice for now.

Something of a figure would be seen coming forth through the tavern doors, a rather healthy looking figure, not showing many signs of fatigue, or ache from the long walk. All that could be seen for the moment had been a the long strands of midnight black, and two flickering jade orbs, peering from beneath the curtain of midnight black.
The arms looked to be quite beautifully sculpted, and toned, as did most of his body, or atleast what was visible, as the figure had been dressed in something of a tattered, worn black cloak, the hood drawn up over the young man's head.
Held within hand, had been something of a rather well worn staff, looking as though it had seen many encounters, and had fought in many battles, though the weapon would remain sturdy as could be; though upon the lad's back, could be something quite interesting, a case of sorts, really, though judging from the size it would possibly be something of a Viola, an instrument he most adored.

Coming forth further into the tavern, a long arm lifted, large hand risen to grasp hold of the strap which held his Viola to his body, lowering it from his shoulder, and into his hand. Forth, he stepped, staff doubling as a walking stick of sorts, rather than it's usual purpose, a weapon, and a very deadly one at that, when in his hands.
Coming forth towards the bar, he would gaze upon the old gentleman behind the bar, something of a soft smile coming amongst his lips shortly after. He would only remain silent for the moment, not having much to say at that particular time, and rather instead rest amongst the seat he had taken, leaning his staff against his shoulder, and leaning the viola against the bar, just before his seat all the while.

Dag was cheery to see this young mans spunk. He hadnt seen someone with is nature since the war had stopped, so with no hesitation Dag began to speak.
"Well, I can get you the Ale and the spirit. But the big breasted women your going to have to come up with, simply because looking at me I am not one to be picking up girls for anyone. Ill return soon with a list of room for you, as well as your drinks. Your a little short on the drinks, but the difference is on me."
Dag turned and walked behind the bar and retireved a dark stout from tap, he assmued that this character would like to bite the bullet. After that he poured a shot of whiskey into a small glass. Grabbing the list of room he went back to where the man was, and handed him the drinks and the menu of rooms.

Once upon seeing the barkeep, he would raise a rather large hand, something of a calm, gentle yet deep note falling from his lips, as he called out to the man: "Uhm..excuse me, sir, but..Might I please have a glass of water..?"
Lowering his hand once after, he brought the hand to rest amongst the top of the viola case, gently curling his elongated, slender fingers about the case's top, gently tugging it to rest against his leg.

Just as Dag finished tending to this young mans needs. He suddenly appeared behind the bar, and infront of the new visiot that was sitting infront of him, he had a staff that was resting next to him and a sort of box that was resting against the bar. Dag looked at this man, ans said
"What can I get for you, traveller? My name is Dag, and Illl serve you today.""
He then looked past him to see if his other patron was requesting help, he couldnt see any signs so he placed his attention back to the one infront of him. After doing so he could hear the man ask for a cup of water. He retrieved this glass of water and put it on the counter infront of him.
"Good clean well water. Tiranoc recieves the freshest rains in all of Valhalla. What would your name be traveller?"

"My name is Damon Black," he began, bowing his head in thanks for the water. "I am from a far off land..By trade I am a wanderer, but by heart I am a Musician, and a warrior..I also have some form of blacksmithing skills..It is a pleasure to meet you."
Taking his water, he took a sip from the glass, gently setting it down upon the counter shortly after; reaching his hand for the handle of the case, he drew the case up, placing it into his lap. "This here, is my beloved Viola, you see.." Said the man in his usual quiet, but casual tone.

The door opened quietly and a young woman stepped into the taveren. Her head was covered by the hood of the cloak she wore and her eyes were kept low. The girl walked over to an empty table and sat down. She looked around the room silently, somehow keeping her eyes lowered. She shook her head a little bit and her hood accidently fell off revealing long purple hair. "Damn." The girl looked around the taveran, showing off eyes with a blue and green swirl. Besides the eyes and the hair, the girl looked perfectly normal. She didn't appear to carry anything but a small purse filled with the only money she had.

She smiled kindly at the man in front of her the one who asked where the smith might be. "Well, I believe one lives down the rode from here," she then looked over to the new customer she decided to help her now as she moved over to the table she was sitting at. "Hello, what might I get you," she said with a soft smile on her lips as always.
Sam sighed as she walked quickly into the tavern where she worked. She was so late she forgot about the time. She ran a hand though her raven black hair. Her deep brown eyes looking around quickly, "I am so sorry I am late Akida." Sam walked behind the bar, and at the same time tying her hair up into a ponytail so it wasn't in her face. She garbed an apron off a hook by the door behind the bar, soon putting it on. Tying it into a nice bow in the back and she was set, moving into the door. After all she was to chef.
She looked at a few parchments that where set on a small table in the kitchen. She read all of them quickly making sure she knew how to make all of them and nodded. She first started on the fish, though she really didn't like to make the fish it was her job. She took out of a small cooling box full of ice, a wrapped up pack of fillet. She took two of them out setting them on a table to get seasoned. She put the rest of the fish away, and began to season the fish with flour, along with slat and other seasons.
She did both and put them on a flat piece of wood, moving over to a fireplace that held a large fire. She set the fish by the fire not close enough to burn them. Though it cooked them, and it seemed the wood wasn't burning. She turned the fish over a few times, on the wood as they cooked. She waited for a while, though soon they where well done and she moved the wood away from the fire. She set it on a table, taking a wooden plate and setting the fish on it. She took in a deep breath as they where done, she added the utensils that where also wooden except the knife. She set the plate down on a serving table. She rang a little bell to signal that a meal was cooked.

The girl looked up at the woman, smiling. "I don't need much. Just some water and any fresh friuts and vegetables if you have have them. If you don't that's fine. I'll just have whatever you have." Her voice had a soft country tone to it. She was slightly surprised that the woman had no reaction to her looks, but she didn't show it. The waitress probably had man stranger looking customers then her all the time.

Finishing the water, the young man soon grabbed up his staff, and viola, bringing the strap about his shoulders, before he would head off towards that of the tavern's exit, nodding his head in thanks to Dag.
Giving something of a slight bow of the head, he would call out over his shoulder towards the man: "Thank you for the water, Sir; if you need me..I shall be working on my Blacksmith's Shop...Farewell, and take care."

Dag gave him an approving nod, and then saw him leave the tavern. It wasnt uncommon for folk to come here and open a new business in hope of making their's. Dag went back to the mysterious man that requested the big breasted women.
