>>6101568Taking a swig of the drink before anyone else can get a word in, you nearly fall off the bench as its contents hit you like a... like a...
"<span class="mu-s">FRUIT CAAAART?</span>"
Asks Volka as she chugs the rest of her tankard in one swing, "How is it, Rook?"
It's.... <span class="mu-i">delicious</span>, you sputter, eyes wide as the fruity drought tickles your cheeks and throat! Warm, spiced, and flavorful, it feels like someone stuffed your mouth with plums... and then set them on fire! With cinnamon and brown sugar! And a whole barrel of Everclear!
Taking a few more sips, you take a moment to relish the flavor as it slowly makes its way down to your stomach. That, you exhale with a dreamy tilt to your voice, is <span class="mu-i">gooood</span>...
"Knew you'd like it!" Chirps the Skog as she taps her tankard against the table, "Must be nice being small--I need a whole orchard's-worth to get buzzed off of this stuff..." Raising an eyebrow as she watches you drink, your guide smiles and nudges your side, eliciting an unpleasant CRACK in your ribs and nearly sending you tumbling out of your seat! "Eeeyyy, you didn't throw up yet! You sure you're not part Skog, Rook? Ehh? <span class="mu-i">Eeehh?</span> Part Skog?"
Nope, you smirk as you puff out your chest, just a regular ole' human!
"Hu...man.... gotcha..." Mutters a familar voice as she taps something out on a tablet of some kind. "Say, how many tails do you humans have again? Just curious!"
Oh goddamn it. While the other extras seemed to have taken the hint, the green-eyed gremlin loitering next to you hasn't.Can you <span class="mu-i">help</span> her?
"Why yes you CAN, my good sir!" Chirps the pair of green eyes as they start to twinkle! "Y'see, I'm a Spinner by trade-"
"Oh Hells, here we go..." Groans Volka as she raps her empty tankard against the table, "Look, you, we don't want any tales told, ballads belted, or songs sung, so go find someone who's interested, okay?"
"Well I'M someone who's interested!" Counters the Spinner in a tone dripping with smugness, "You can go back to drinking, Tusks, I'm just chatting with my new friend Antoooon~"
"HA! IThat's what YOU think!" Volka retorts with a haughty laugh, "I CAN'T go back to drinking because my replacement DRINK isn't here yet, so th-oh! Thank you~" Chirps 'Tusks' as the waitress slips in and delivers another drink. As Volka follows the spurious Spinner's advice, you're left cornered by the fanged fiend, her green eyes boring holes into your booze-flushed face!
"I just wanna taaaaalk! You humans can do that, riiiiiiiight?" She asks with a bat of her eyelashes.
If pushy had a face.... what do?
>No! Put an egg in your shoe and BEAT IT!>Who the hell are you anyways?>What's a Spinner?>Maybe if she bought you a drink...>Just stay extremely silent and still! Maybe she'll lose track of you!>Get to the point: what do you want?>Volka, a little help?>Salty Suutz and the other guy! Get 'er!>WRITE-IN!
