Burning Skies Saloon

[Yiski]

*Yiski hear Lockheart asking for a strong drink and makes him a mug of White Steam Whiskey.*

"Here you go, this should perk your ears up a bit."

*Yiski takes a look at the map.*

"You'll want to avoid the routes northwest of Anvala. I've heard there's been increased raider activity."


_{(White Steam Whiskey mostly causes steam to exit the ears or on rare occasions causes the immediate need to use the bathroom.)}

[Wazulu]

*As if on cue, Wazulu, flying over Accura on his way to Hanat, is quickly attacked by several bandit vessels*

[Captain Lockheart]

*takes a gulp *
"WOW , that's strong, Exactly what I asked for "

* still looking at the map , although trying to steady himself after the whiskey, and hasn't noticed the steam coming out of his ears*

" shit, not taking the north west route could lengthen our voyage by a day..., well I love a fight so those bandits best get ready, for..."

* takes a long drink of the ale *

* shouts* "FOR A GOOD THRASHING"

* then lockheart collapses over his map with steam still pouring out of his ears*

[RearAdmiralZill]

Zill and Jun'ko took their first steps into the Burning Skies when his radio went off.
"Admiral here."

"Status report Admiral: We made it to Accura in good time, and above town was a battle. One lone Goldfish against 3 Squids sporting Republic Flags. The vessel was of Anvala, so we intervened."

"Any losses?"

"The goldfish was battered but suffered minimal damage. We surprised them as they were bringing the Gold down to the ground. They didn't last long."

"Good, good. Sounds like advance scouts. Remain just outside Accura until dusk and then maintain current orders."

"Yes sir. The Goldfish we saved was headed to Hanat. We advised against it but he insisted. Said it was orders from the Council."

"Any orders I get from them send me into a death trap. Lets hope they aren't repeat offenders. To Clear Skies."

"Aye."

A few patrons watched on, trying to listen, until Zill tucked his radio away and they turned around quickly. They walk up to the bar and have a seat. It was eerily quiet in the Saloon. Most of the dockworkers knew things were in motion as an influx of military boats had been moved into dock. They sat and speculated to themselves. Zill ordered a WSW and Jun'ko motioned for a Hellfire.

[Captain Lockheart]

*lockheart awakens at the sound of mugs hitting the bar *

" hmmmm what happened there..."

* takes another swig of the whiskey *

"Ahh I remember"

* turns and sees zill *

" ahoy zill, how was the council? "

* checks pocket watch , then lights his pipe again *

* hum's to self and continues studying the map *

[BdrLineAzn]

*BdrLine enters he saloon and goes up to the bar, he sees Zill and Jun'ko and goes and seat near them*
*To Yiski*
"Hey Yiski I'll have a Hellfire."

*As he waits for Yiski, BdrLine tins to Zill*
"So I'm guessing with the more Fleet ships in the docks, something is happening in the north."

[Skyraider]

*Sky walks into the saloon, he greats everyone*

"Good morrow everyone! Any news or events I should know about? I've been test flying my plane, and I haven't payed any remote attention to anything outside of my work."

[BdrLineAzn]

*To Skyraider*

"Oh I seen your test flying yesterday. You stunt over the saloon almost took a 'little' off the top when I was walking. "

[Captain Lockheart]

*Turns to Bdr *

" yeah I noticed that aswell, everything all right?"

* drinks the last of the whiskey*

" need any weapons? I got a Galleon's worth stored in a warehouse by the docks."
* mutters*

"Heck I'd sell them to anyone, stupid tariffs"

* starts plotting lines on the map with a compass"

[Yiski]

*Yiski serves BdrLine, Jun'ko, and Zill's drinks. Yiski then made a Hellfire for himself.*

"Sky, I swear, if you did anything to my new baby, I'd fly you out to the middle of the Chill Sea and drop you in the middle of it."

[Skyraider]

*Sky responds to Yiski in a joking voice*

"Why would I do anything to this place? Its amazing! Besides, I have a very limited amount of ammunition available. So even if I thought of it, I wouldn't have more than a few Hwcha rockets and maybe 100 bullets."

[Captain Lockheart]

*lifts his head up from the map and holds his pipe in his hand *
* to sky*

"Still... The fact you have a plane is enough to scare people, give it ammo and you can harass a garrison of men into submission, I've had the first hand experience of that"

* gazes onwards*

" I barely managed to escape that day "

"Well..... erm, a pint of hellfire if you would yiski"

[RearAdmiralZill]

Zill looks at Lockheart.
"Any day involving the Council needs a lot of drinking to get over, if that answers your question."

He then motions to BdrLine.
"Just precautions. No need to worry about it, though I recommend not pissing off any guards while we are on heightened security."

He takes a long swig of his WSW, steam emitting from his mask. Jun'ko always grinned at the sight, and she took a sip of her Hellfire. She learned from the last time....
 

[Yiski]

*Yiski makes Lockheart a Hellfire and hands it to him. Yiski then turns to Zill and BdrLine.*

"Precaution my foot. About everybody in Anvala knows about the raider fleet roaming just a few cities out in the Northwest."

*Yiski takes a swig of his Hellfire.*

"It's not like we have anything to worry about. Seizing Anvala is a death sentence. Why the hell would you assault the gunner's capital with more munitions and weapons per square meter."

[BdrLineAzn]

*BdrLine takes a sip of the Hellfire and to Yiski*
"That is true, like the time with the hunters or the Birdmen mercs. It was just us and we handle it pretty well. Now imagine against the actually military here" *takes another sip*

*Ny-Lee is sitting on a stool at the bar while listening to the others*
"Still doesn't mean we can't prepare ourselves"

"Yeah your right,i hope it doesn't come here. We did so much in those two weeks that i'm really hoping for a break, but hey no rest for the weary."

*As Ny-Lee spins around the stool a little, a thought came up*
"Azn, speaking of weary, where is mother?"

*As BdrLine takes a few more of the Hellfire, he answers Ny-Lee*
"She is back at my house on the radio talking with the company who owns The Dawning Sun about when it is going to be completed and how soon we can make reservtions and such and such"
