Welcome to Gaia! ::

Before you lies the city of The Marked Lands. You stand on the street. As you look at the cracked asphalt and the store fronts something catches your eyes. There is a large black tower, seemingly torn from the very heart of the earth. It looks strangely out of place with its tall spire, and almost gothic courtyard. Something about it makes you uncomfortable. Down the road a little you see a sign hanging, "The Seer's Lounge" it reads in plain lettering, and music and drunken rowdiness spills from the door as someone exits. Dim light and smoky air seems like the perfect place to meet people and mingle.

Kalintria peered into the 'bar' as Virgil told her it was, and took a quick glance around with her elven sight. She took note of the familiar but still strange attire the folk were wearing, the scent of the musk and alcohol swirling around the air, and the apparent good times being had all around (most not in the best of taste for a public venue). She donned her cloak's hood to cover her obvious out-of-towner ears and fair skin as she stepped inside. She walked gracefully up to Virgil's side as he gestured for her to, pulling her cloak around her to cover her weapon as well. 'No need to make a scene,' she thought. She noted where Nayana had found herself in a corner seat, and the bar keep behind the bar cleaning up a spill, all the while keeping her face a serene mask of confidence.

Kalintria smiled at Virgil as he passed with the tray and headed towards Nayana. She followed and reached her arm to Virgil's waist, tapping his butt once before hooking her arm around his waist.

Kalintria grinned wickedly at Virgil and squeezed his side, before sliding into the booth across from Nayana. She blushed slightly at Nayana's comment and took a glass of wine for herself and sipped it gingerly. "Well then you should not be keeping your eyes on us, unless you are wanting to watch..." She took another sip of wine, and winked over her glass at Nayana.

"It is okay, dear." She nudged Virgil with her shoulder at his comment about how she holds her liquor. At Nayana's comment, she lowered her head so that her hood was covering her face in shadow and glanced around the bar until her eyes found the group of kids that Nayana must have been referring to. They stood out probably as much as the three of them did because compared to the rest of the crowd in the bar, they were very young. "Why are they so important?"

Kalintria smiled as Virgil kissed the top of her head. She laughed as Nayana scolded him for still having his mental influence holding the bar keep, but then quickly covered her mouth with her fingertips, faking a cough. "Some talents are better hidden than others unfortunately." She pulled her hood a little farther down with her free hand and sipped her wine.


"Check out the freaks," Blaire said bluntly.
Hunter had been watching the guy and two women that walked into the bar a short time ago. She found their appearance out of place, and their demeanors odd. She also noted how it seemed that they didn't pay for their drinks either. She tilted her head in the direction that they were sitting, trying to not be to obvious by staring at them. "You think they came from that creepy tower that just popped in from nowhere down the street?"

Kalintria rolled her eyes at Nayana and Virgil. They would never get along it seemed. "Oh you two..." She shook her head and took the last sip of her glass. "So, shall we go over and talk to them? Or wait until they stare at us long enough?" She had noticed with her elven sight their glances, and could even hear with her elven hearing a bit of their conversation over the chatter around the bar.

Blaire was more or less staring at the group in the shadowy booth. "They do seem like out-of-townies, eh?"
Hunter took a gulp of her beer, and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Yeah they're a bit odd. Obviously from the tower thing." She shifted uncomfortably on her stool.
Blaire swigged her beer as well, then looked away from the group. "Well at least something interesting is happening. Not like we have anything else going on lately." She looked around at the local bar crowd and mumbled something under her breath.
Sasuke draped his arm around Blaire's shoulders and gave her a squeeze. "What? Our little romp around this morning wasn't anything special?" He pretended to act hurt, and stuck out his lip in a pout.

Kalintria gently takes the glass from Nayana. She looks at Virgil, smiling. "You want to drink it first to make sure it's safe." She winks and downs the glass before setting it back on the table.

Blaire blushed and snuggled a bit into Sasuke before pushing him laughingly away. "Yes it was interesting to say the least, but I was talking more about around the town. You gotta admit they are awkward."
"Interesting?! Oh I see how it is." He pouted again and swigged the last of his beer before slamming the empty mug down on the table. He leaned over the table towards Hunter. "So, Hunter... what's say you and I hit the sack?" He winked and then put up an arm to defend himself from an obvious hit from Blaire.
Sasuke's words snapped Hunter out of her seeming daydream as her eyes had found their way back to the group in the corner without her knowing it. She swung her head back around to her friends. "Oh, what? Huh? Oh... I... um." She stammered and then blushed bright red.
