Reese Cresno
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 130
Physical Description: Reese is a very skeletal man, albeit one dressed to impress. He has a very wide grin, as would be expected of a person whose face lacks a skin. His bones are well-polished indeed, sometimes catching and reflecting a bit of light. This is possibly achieved with a bit of glaze, as normal skeletons are rather dull and lackluster.
Clothes and Equipment: Reese is always dressed in an immaculate suit, complete with a fine ironwood walking stick. A small chain hangs out of a jacket pocket. Were one to yank it out, they would find an elaborate medallion bearing a single, glowing, silver-etched eye.

"I suppose I should cut him a little more slack, but I would still like to take the precaution. He's rather difficult to predict. I don't believe he has negative intentions either, from his perspective, but his definition of negative intentions may be... slightly different from ours." Artemis rested her face in a gloved hand. "Irregardless, he needs to learn how normal people will react to things before I'd be comfortable leaving him unsupervised. That poor woman looked like she was about to faint at the sight of all those diagrams in his little lair." "Perhaps you could assist him in that? Let's be honest, he doesn't work around the standard sort of person. If he's not handing out drinks to people, he's around people like us, who aren't exactly the pinnacle of human normality. Perhaps extended contact with some normal human." Reese fixed his empty eyes on Artemis. "Failing that, a person who is close enough to human that it wouldn't matter, from that perspective. Someone that knows what humans like or dislike, general tastes, someone that could give him an education in normality. Don't you think that would be beneficial?"

Artemis

Physical Description: Artemis is a sturdily built woman of medium height, with blonde hair tied back in a professional bun. Clad in a sharp black business suit, with black tie, dress shirt, and gloves, her appearance is utterly unremarkable; save for a single, flawless, purple gem, set on a simple black ribbon, worn choker-style around her throat. Her demeanor is such that she blends seamlessly into the background of any situation when her services are not required.

She stands, contemplating, for long moments. "An accurate analysis, but there is one thing you failed to consider." A smirk creeps onto her face. "I'd have to actually spend time talking with him." She turns to go. "Stay drafty, Reese. And thanks."

Kevin the bartender motioned for Jill to come over to the bar, giving her a friendly smile.
"Welcome to the Midnight Sun! And yes, we have had a grand reopening in this city fairly recently. We're a family run buisness that specializes in bringing good times to all! My names Kevin and I'm one of the bartenders here. If you don't mind me asking what is yours?"

"I'm Jill! I was looking for someone and I fear I have lost them. So now... well... I am here. What kind of drinks do you have?"
Jill's pale, youthful face and pigtailed dark hair might not be enough to identify her as one of the combatants from the Grand Tournament that had just occurred in the city's southern neighbor, Medan. She wore a drab tan cloak, belt, and travel pouch as opposed to any of the flashy tribal garb others might know her from.

The Bartender nodded at her explanation and perked up a bit when she asked about drinks.
"We have all kinds of drinks here at the Midnight Sun! Our more exotic ones include things like Heartbreak, Midnight, and Avalon. However, if you'd like some standard fine wine or beer, we have that too. First drinks always on the house as well!"
He prepares a glass should she request something.

"OoOOOOooh. Exotic drinks."
Jill liked the sound of that. She relaxed in her bar-stool, getting comfortable. People often considered where she was from as an exotic place, and usually such a word in the mind meant different, complex, tantalizing. She was intrigued.
"So... what makes them so exotic?"

"Well," he said smiling broudly. "They have a number of very interesting effects! Midnight for example is extremely refreshing from what I've heard. People are able to understand things a bit more clearly while their under its effects. Of course they have some withdraw symptoms, but most people coming to this bar are in it for the thrill in the first place!"

"A drink with nootropic effects, that's really cool," she said in her girlishly high voice, brushing the whole idea off as though it were nothing to her. "That's kind of hard to find outside the Sorala. We have things with really interesting effects, too!" Jill was from a faraway land and was thrilled to tell others about her tribe and city. She was also a tad bit spontaneous at times and felt she was a master of the 'arts' this tavern meddled in. Yet she went back to the menu, and asked, "what is... Avalon?"

A robed person steps in, wading through the people to make his way to the bar. Someone tries to elbow his kidneys and the armor plating over his robe renders the elbower humbled. The shady person flicks a wing at the man's jawline, knocking him unconscious. He mutters some words as he passes the man's body.
Upon reaching the bar, the wizard raps on it twice. When he is attended to, he asks, "What are the more popularrrr drinks, bartender?"

"Oh, what type of drinks does your land have? We're always looking for new drinks to add to our menu. Although to be fair, our menu is already quite diverse, Hasdrubal has quite the experience when it comes to making drinks."
He considers how to answer the question about Avalon for a moment before speaking, "Well, it's kinda hard to explain, but it makes the people who take it much more... I don't know, good with people you could say? And not just because everyones drunk, why, I've seen a man get a job he had been turned down for 2 times after drinking a glass of it!"
Kevin looked up as Davous entered and didn't look too pleased with the interruption. "Why, Heartbreak is our most popular! Would you like a glass?"

"Well, all kinds of drinks... for example, the two drink effects you mentioned are accomplished without withdrawal effects. And if you would like to enhance your selection of products... I most certainly could help you." Jill's dark red lips curled into a smile. "I've traveled a lot lately. I've picked things up in my travels, and I've brought a lot of ingredients with me from home," she said. "If you want, I could give you samples."

"That does sound quite interesting. However, I'm afraid I don't personally do work with the innovating side of things here, that would be Hasdrubal." He looks slightly disappointed as he says this, but then perks up slightly.
"However, I'm sure Hasdrubal would just love to meet you! He talks about this stuff all the time and would most likely love having someone who understands them at his level to talk to about it. He's in his lab currently, but I can take you down there to speak to him if you wish."
He motions to a door behind the bar that leads to a spiral staircase going downward.

"I'll take some of this...Heartbreak." Davous whispers something into his robe. Even if you could make out the words, they sound unintelligible.

The Bartender goes about the creation of the drink. Mixing a bit of this, adding a bit of that. He finally finishes and places the ruby red drink on the counter infront of Davous.
"This ones on the house," he says smiling to the traveler.
He then turns his attention back to Jill.

To anyone looking close enough, it would appear the wizard is opening his robe and carefully pouring the contents of the drink down it for a few moments. He then places the glass on the bar and tilts an ear to his shoulder, listening to the robe. A squeak emanates from within the garment, and Davous nods. He covertly empties the Heartbreak under the bar and clinks the glass on the bar, upside-down.

What went through Jill's mind, aside from the knowledge she had on such a subject, were money signs.
"Sure! It'd be neat to see what the laboratory looks like."

Kevin motions for her to follow him back behind the bar and down the spiral staircase. He passes numerous levels they could have gotten off at, instead walking to the very bottom of the spiral staircase. It takes a good 4 minutes to reach the bottom.
"Here we are, Hasdrubal should be just in that room somewhere!" He remarks cheerfully. "I must attend to the customers upstairs, but I hope you have a good time discussing stuff with Hasdrubal. He'll be thrilled to have someone with your knowledge to talk to."
Kevin makes his way back up the stairs.

"Wow... all this was underground?" Jill wondered what this was before the establishment deed was purchased, or if it had been magically summoned and assembled like much of the rest of this city. While she let some information slip during the brief initial exchange of pleasantries , she wasn't expecting something this elaborate--had she accidentally stumbled into some big operation of a scale she hadn't anticipated, and if so... how much opportunity was to be found? Jill had completed her mission of helping bring Sakand back to life, and having lost her new friend in a teleportation gone awry, she was essentially free to do as she pleased.
(I suggest we open a separate thread for the lab?)

Davous watches two descend and one ascend. Funny, he thought. Sort of like the soul being escorted to hell. Well, with all that lab nonsense, may as well be true. Who keeps a laboratory beneath a bar? Unless it's a drinks-tester. That's logical.
"Barman! Is there anything not as...strong here? Left a funny taste in my mouth, that special one. Thanks for the offer, I guess, though. I'll cover the payment for it if ya want."
