FFD6 The Dicening, Group 2, To Kill The Beast - Page 5

CelesJessa · 12-29-2010, 03:40 PM

Vera's tail swished low as she inspected the city. It was quite a change from what she called home- not that she had a place to call home anymore.

As a few from her group started heading into the market to get supplies for their mission, Vera decided to head in the direction of the inn. Calling it an "inn" was pretty generous, and she couldn't help but wonder if there would even be enough beds for their entire party.

Either way, after putting on her most charming smile, she approached the old couple running it, intent on trying her best to get a discount.

___
Not sure if you want to Roleplay it out or just roll it, but she's going to try and sweet talk a cheaper price or a sort of group deal.

"You do that." One of the Vieras, the one with the sword, replied to his suggestion.. "I'm going to ask around to find out about the fiend." As she walked off, she gave Argath a casual wave. "See you tonight."

Argath blinked. She'd better not be saying... that just didn't make any sense. Lost in his thoughts, he wandered in the direction of the inn without noticing anyone else. Only when he entered did he realize that he had followed the other Viera from his group. Excellent.

As she haggled with the old couple that ran the inn for a price, he put aside his resentment and approached the couple, putting on a kind smile and standing next to the Viera. "Hello there. As my associate is telling you our group is in need of lodging for the night. Three Vieras, two Taruts, a Hume and a Moogle. I'm sure we can agree on a fair price."

------------
Making the same check.

Caspin felt like mellowing in his wine for a bit, and he was never so good at negotiating prices so he decided to follow after the impulsive Vieran sword-mistress. He was of an even mind that they ought to figure out where they could find this little beast, nothing quite so wasteful as wandering in the wilderness when you were after something specific.

They arrived a motley looking group almost certain to arouse suspicions of the local populace, and the Viera shot her questions at the doctor in a very telling way. Perhaps not a threat, but it may not be wise to say no to someone with so big of a sword.

"Doctor! I have come here to capture the fiend that is plaguing these mountains. Can you tell me anything about the udrafresk?"

He would chip in while the little Tarut worked on getting some remedies for the impending hunt. Hoping for a specific detail since they did already know quite a bit about the big skinless gorillas,

"Particularly a location where it might be seen, relative area of petrification incidents and the like?"

"Well deary," the older woman said with a kind smile to Argath, "As we were telling your lady friend here, oh you DO make a cute couple by the way, don't they, Henry?" she turned to her husband for a moment, the man responding with a nod and a 'Yes, Edith', that sounded as though it had been recited thousands of times throughout their marriage. "Well, as I was saying," the old woman continued, "We don't have seven rooms available. We only have about four... I guess you could all double up, but each room only has one bed..."

"Though, I doubt that'll be a problem for you two, eh?" came the man's deeper voice, with a knowing twinkle in his eye.

Looking back with a little bit of a scowl Edith responded to her husband in a chastising tone, "Now don't embarass the poor dears, Henry!" Turning back to the younger couple before her she continued, "Now, our going rate is only ten gil per room, and an extra five per person if you want breakfast, and I'm sure you all want breakfast! You've haven't eaten until you've tried my home made eggs and hash browns!"

"She makes a mighty fine country fried gargant steak!" Henry threw in.

-------

Reaching a finger up to slide his spectacles back in to place, the grey haired man behind the counter looks over the Mithra woman with an analyzing eye, taking in her question carefully before Caspin joined her in asking about the monster.

With a world weary sigh that seemed to rattle his bones, the older man rooted around under the counter before pulling out a map and unfurling it with aged but deft fingers. Planting one finger on the map he says simply, "Here," before looking up at the Mithra and Blue Mage. "As for anything else, I can only tell you the stories the men say. It's big. Looks like an ape or a sasquatch, but it doesn't have any fur, or skin, and it turns thing to stone before it eats them. No one has been so foolish to try and hunt the beast, at least not that they've told me, so I can't help you more than that."

Looking past the pair he continues, "Now, if that's all, I believe I have a paying customer..." he trails off, his eyes moving toward Fie. "And what would you like to purchase?"

CelesJessa · 12-30-2010, 03:12 PM

Vera rose an eyebrow when the male spoke up, mildly annoyed that he chimed in, after all, she was taking care of the lodging issue just fine. Her annoyance only lasted for a moment, replaced by surprise when the innkeepers implied that they were together. Playing along she sidled up closer to the male, playing the part of the protective female.

"That sounds reasonable." She nodded, "Me and..." Oh hell she didn't even remember his name... "We can share a room, and the others can choose who goes with who."

She winked at Argath, "Right, Honey?"

Dracorion · 12-30-2010, 06:58 PM

Argath gaped in surprise at the elderly couple's assu,ption that he and the other Viera were together. "Wha-... but we-" Surprise gave way to anger, though, when she decided to play along.

"Right, Honey?" She asked, sliding closer to him. He decided to play along if only because this was the only place they could stay. "Sure thing, Sweetie." He replied warmly, placing his arm around her. He'd kill her for this, though.

Well, no he wouldn't, but it was nice to imagine. He thought of another way to pay her back instead. "We might as well pay now. Four rooms and seven breakfasts. You have the money, right Sweetie?"

CelesJessa · 12-30-2010, 07:18 PM

Vera's mischievous grin faltered just a fraction when he mentioned her paying for it.

"But Darling." She gave him a pointed look, "I thought the others were covering it once they got back?"

Dracorion · 12-30-2010, 07:52 PM

Argath kept smiling as he replied. "Come on, Honey, the others could be gone all afternoon. There's nothing wrong with us paying for it now, is there?"

**McTahr** · 12-30-2010, 11:04 PM

Fie perked up from examining the designs on his robe. He'd certainly have to go for something more original when he made his next.

"I'm with them, and as you can probably guess, I'll need a remedy for petrification, else we'll be dragging more back than just the fiend."

___
No haggling check or anything. Just shooting for going price.

CelesJessa · 12-30-2010, 11:16 PM

Vera slipped her hand around her "Boyfriend's" waist, giving him a "loving" squeeze that might be a little too hard. She continued to smile, but that smile didn't exactly reach her eyes anymore, "I guess you're right, but I could have sworn you were carrying our money."
