Burning Skies Saloon
RearAdmiralZill:
-Saloon-
Jun'ko was fumbling with Zill's watch when Papa came crashing through the door. She immediately got to his side, realizing he was unconscious. She yelled to Yiski.
Jun'ko
"I need some of your Elixer, and probably a forklift to move him!"
Yiski just gave a stare that could kill abominations before rushing to the back for his special mixture.
Thraxius Meridius:
--Saloon, THE RUST BUCKET--
Near the city center stood a war ravaged saloon - The Rust Bucket - still standing despite the devastating attack.
In the saloon sat Thrax, right across the bar-keep. Full of gashes and bruises that he is unaware of, not sustaining any serious injuries aside from near-sobriety.
Sat with various empty mugs that he had previously drank from, his breath smelled of Hellfire and ale. His odor of rust and smog from the battle. He sat as he saw Lockheart and Cecelia walk into the tavern.
Thrax
"Saved a seat for ya! Come here! I owe you a pint! You saved my arse! haha!"
Lockheart, first looked reluctant, but soon gave in to Thrax's offer.
Lockheart
"I honestly don't know how we survived that one."
Thrax
"I know!"
Thrax raises his glass and chugs down the remaining hellfire in his mug.
Barkeep
"Try and take it easy. The last thing I need is more problems. I barley made it out of this mess!"
Thrax
"Pffft, this is nothing. It would take a dozen barrels of Hellfire and a dozen more of those abominations to take me down! Haha!"
He raises his glass once more.
Thrax
"Ale all round from me! This place needs it."
Barkeep
"I'll put it on your tab Cap'n Thraxius."
Lockheart looks at Thrax with much intrigue.
Lockheart
"...Captain?"
Thrax
"Indeed my good sir! Captain Thraxius Meridius! Son of Decimus Meridius of the House Meridius. Former Commander of the 13th Legion of the Northern Fleet of the Fjorn Baronies, during the war of the burning skies - Descendant of The First King Agrius. And so on and so forth!"
He takes another swig from his mug.
Thrax
"Stripped of Rank and Exiled into the vastness - Wrongfully accused of treason. I have been the Captain of The Titan for nearly 30 years."
The Titan being a spire Airship thought to have been obliterated in battle - brought back to life by the the warm pulse of Thrax's bloodlust and vendetta.
Thrax
"Well that's my story... what's yours matey?"
Thrax looks onto Lockheart, awaiting a reply.
Yiski:
--Burning Skies--
Yiski throws together his elixir. It was a good thing the group had cleaned up before because it would've been impossible to find any of the ingredients. He tosses it to Jun'ko who then forces it down Paradox's throat. Paradox begins coughing. BdrLine and Yiski somehow managed to get Paradox to the couch. Upon placing him, the couch sank a few inches from Paradox weight. Yiski sighs.
Yiski
"Can I get one day, just one day where someone doesn't come in bleedin'?"
Yiski then thinks about BdrLine's comment which brought thoughts from yesterday to the forefront.
Yiski
"You know... I have a feelin' this isn't about revenge anymore. But if it is, we'll need some back up. BdrLine can you..."
Additional individuals entered the saloon this time breaking Yiski's concentration. They weren't patrons, but Council Elites. Yiski figured once things calmed down, the Council would get him. One elite began to approach Yiski, but Yiski held up his hand and walked to him instead. Yiski then turns around to the others.
Yiski
"Lauren. Watch Paradox. I'll be back in awhile."
Yiski walked out with the Elites and headed toward the Council building.
Captain Lockheart:
--Rust bucket tavern--
Lockheart
"Julius Lockheart, of the noble house Lockheart in Chaladon. Commodore also of the fjord baronies and now, i belive, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Chaladon Watch."
*He bows before sitting down*
"And if my mind doesn't forget me, i believe Commodore it one rank higher, than captain. People call me captain as it rolls off the tongue better"
*whispers to thrax*
"To be honest, have you checked out the burning skies saloon. its a lot better than this dump.
Thrax
"To be honest, this was the first tavern i found and i came in and here i am!, but sure ill head out to this saloon of yours"
Lockheart, Cecelia and thrax all walk (Except for lockheart who still is limping/ been dragged) to the Burning Skies.
--The Burning Skies--
The door opens and Lockheart, Thrax and Cecelia walk in. Cecelia quickly notices Papa and goes over to assist Jun'ko.
Lockheart
"Its good to see everyone so well!, hope no-one suffered too badly?"
The Men head over to the bar and sit down.
Lockheart
"Oh, er, i dont belive you have been introduced. Everyone this is Cecelia my wife, and this is Thrax who found his way onto my cargo hold, and came out during that battle."
*Lockheart scratched his head in confusion, and then only just noticed papa, he was still a bit unsure as how Thrax got aboard the Commodore Beckett*
Lockheart
"Oh, i didn't see papa there, is he ok?"
Skyraider:
It had taken awhile for Sky and Iris to find the remains of their fallen comrade. Many planes were lying on the ground completely destroyed and burned leaving nothing behind but a hollow shell. Even then all they could find was the tail and wings of their friend's plane. The ram was so harsh and quick it basically evaporated both the biplane and the cockpit of the other plane. Sky carved onto the tail "Charles Dart/Ralph Underhill Flying Panthers" and carried it to the Anvala grave where many funerals were being attended. It took sometime for Sky and Iris to leave the grave, even though all they had left of their friends were burnt metal and that tail piece. After they were done, Sky headed off to the Saloon.
--Burning Skies--
Sky walked in quietly, and without saying "Good morrow" to anyone. He see's Paradox on the couch injured, then everyone else in the saloon.
Sky
"No one was to come out of this event unharmed or uninjured.... Wait..... Where's Zill? Don't tell me he's dead."
