Burning Skies Saloon
Skyraider:
*After seeing Connor freak out*
"Well did that drink work better than intended Ny-Lee? He could have killed someone."
Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
Zill and Jun'ko make their way back upstairs. Neither of the two were feeling well, or at least not well enough to make to back to Then It Was Fixed Again. Yiski was still fast asleep in the back.
The remainder of the night was relatively uneventful aside from Connor's experience with White Steam Whiskey.
As the patrons began leaving for the night, Roland felt a sharp pain on his ankle. Ny-Lee sees Roland wince in pain and rushes to him and helps him on to the couch.
"Good grief, I thought my ankle would be better by now." Roland sees the look of concern on his fiance's face. "I am fine darling, just some passing pain."
Ny-Lee wasn't buying it.
"If you think I'm going to leave you in your condition, then you clearly underestimate how much I worry." Ny-Lee turns to her brother. "BdrLine, I'm staying here the night. I doubt Roland could make his way upstairs."
BdrLine looks at the couple and inspects his thoughts.
"Well, they said they didn't do anything last time she stayed over. Plus, Roland does look pretty hurt." "Alright, I'm going to head back with Sky to work on his engines."
Eventually, all the patrons left the saloon and Roland was stuck watching Ny-Lee close. He mentally sighs to the fact he has been hiding more pain from his ankle than he lets on.
"I really need to see Oliver tomorrow."
Eventually, Ny-Lee has the saloon closed and she helps Roland upstairs. Once in the room, Ny-Lee inspects Roland's ankle. It's badly swollen.
"Roland! How have you managed to walk on this all day?"
"Well..."
Ny-Lee shakes her head and stares at Roland.
"I am sorry darling, but I did not want to alarm you. I do plan on seeing Oliver tomorrow."
"Good because I'm coming with you." *sigh* "Let's get some sleep."
-Meanwhile-
Honeybadger's poker night seemed to go from bad to worse, guns were drawn and a few shots were already fired. The room was in a panic with a few other guest fleeing. He was easily staring down a handful of people, but didn't care. He slowly pulled his trigger until...
*BANG*
"By the order of the Anvalan council, you are all under arrest for unauthorized gambling and reckless discharging of weapons! Either you surrender, or we will open fire!"
The group turned to see themselves against a wall of Guards all holding repeating rifles.
Honeybadger and the group drop their weapons.
"Good to see you savages have some sense."
The poker night ended with Honeybadger and others in an Anvalan cell.
--NARRATOR END--
--END OF DAY 64--
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 65--
--NARRATOR--
Honeybadger was stuck in jail overnight. By morning, he got little sleep. Sleeping on a wooden cot with no cushion isn't comfortable. He paces his cell for a moment until a guard shows up and opens his cell.
"You're free to go. Witnesses say you were defending yourself and I don't want to process you for unauthorized gambling."
Connor wakes up the next day finding himself in a local infirmary. Last night's drink didn't do him any favors. Connor sees a nurse walking in.
"Ah, I see you're awake now. We've taken care of your symptoms and you should be good to leave in a few hours."
"How'd I get here?"
"A few Burning Skies patrons brought you here. Once we realized you were there, it was easy treating you."
Connor lets out a sigh of relief.
"Let's stick to local drinks."
At the saloon, Yiski wakes up and gives a large yawn. He feels refreshed from his long sleep. He leaves his room and starts checking all the equipment and starts up his still to make up for the taint loss.
Meanwhile, Roland and Ny-Lee wake up and they look at his ankle. The swelling hasn't gone down. Ny-Lee helps her fiance downstairs where they see Yiski getting ready to open.
"Morning you two how... skies Roland how the hell did your ankle get like that?!"
"Well, I am not sure either, but Ny-Lee and I are heading to Oliver's for him to look at it."
"Good idea. Give me a second, your crutches are sitting here in the back."
Yiski hands Roland the crutches. Yiski has a look of concern.
"Don't worry Yiski, I'll make sure Roland will be fine."
Yiski nods and the two head off. He then looks upstairs.
"Guess Zill and Jun are still out of it."
--NARRATOR END--
RearAdmiralZill:
Zill wakes up with a jump. A strange dream was to blame, but he simply tossed it aside as random. The jump woke Jun'ko, and she looked at Zill.
"You ok?"
"Yea just a new dream. Nothing to worry over for once."
She gives him a stare, but then just leans in to kiss him. Once done, she looks him over.
"You do look much better than yesterday."
"You too, though you look good all the time."
"Oh please, we looked like drunken raiders yesterday and you know it. You were sleeping on the bar half the night." *She chuckles.*
"I guess. Either way im headed downstairs. You comin'?"
"Ill be down in a few. Might as well try to look less raider-like today."
Zill gets on his clothes, wraps the bandana on his face, and hangs his goggles on his neck. He gets halfway down the stairs before missing one and falling down to the bottom. Yiski and the kids were there to pick him up.
"By the Skies Zill, you are a literal train-wreck."
"Yea yea. Funny thing is im feeling better today."
Zill grabs at his torso.
"That fall didnt help my healing though..."
"Well Roland is about to head to Oliver's to get his ankle looked at."
Zill sees the grapefruit sized swelling and whistles.
"Well that looks painful. Tell him ill foot the bill for his services." (OOC: Oh puns...)
"You dont have to do that Zill. Ny here plans to come with and......"
"No buts Roland. You act like money is a problem for me." *He smirks.*
Honeybadger:
(OOC: Yiski please void the ending you wrote, it makes no sence)
*Honeybadger is walking down the street followed by Sarah and Jibbs*
Sarah: "Did we really have to spend the night in an alleyway?"
*Jibbs nods*
Jibbs: "Yeah, why couldn't we have spent the night at the club again?"
*Honeybadger shoots an annoyed look at Jibbs*
Honeybadger: "You really think they would let us spend another night after what we did?"
*Jibbs thinks for a moment*
Jibbs: "They probably would have killed us in our sleep... Good point."
Honeybadger: "Besides, the saloon is right over here."
*Honeybadger and his two followers enter the saloon exhausted*
Honeybadger: "Good Morning Yiski!"
