Burning Skies Saloon
Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
During the slow walk to the triage, Yiski and Zill traded insults back and forth at each other. Shortly after arriving at the triage, BdrLine, Ny-Lee, Roland, Jun'ko, and Lauren arrived. They all were relieved when Zill told them Yiski is alive albeit a bit bloodied.
Hours passed before Yiski was out of the triage. Similar to Zill, Yiski had to use a crutch to stand and his left leg in a cast. Lauren tackled Yiski out of sheer joy and relief. Yiski laughed, but his sides were still in pain. In addition to his broken leg, Yiski had numerous stitches around the edge of his face from the broken glass. Of course, Lauren could care less about his appearance. She was glad he was still around.
The feeling of relief soon turned to fear and terror when they arrived back at the saloon. While the outside seemed unharmed, the inside told a very different story. Inside laid a few charred armed men and Honeybadger and Dylan sitting behind the bar. Honeybadger looked Yiski with a grin, but everyone saw Honeybadger's face give an expression of impending death.
Yiski's right eye twitched a bit as he stood silently at the doorway. Then...
Yiski
"Honeybadger."
Honeybadger
"Y..es?"
Yiski
"This your doin'?"
Honeybadger
*Gulps* "... ... Yes."
Yiski
"What did you destroy?"
Honeybadger
"Two barrels of Loch Out."
Yiski sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Yiski walked outside for a moment which shocked everybody. They expected Yiski to lunge at Honeybadger and strangle the life out of him.
Yiski called a few guards who quickly removed the bodies from the saloon. Yiski kept a handful of guards behind.
Guard
"Orders?"
Yiski
"Congrats. You get to do a graveyard shift with your fellow guards. Orders. Keep an eye on these two as they clean and replace everything in my saloon. If either one of them attempts to leave before I come back and inspect my saloon, you have my express authorization to shoot them in their legs so that I may strangle them. Am I clear?"
Guard
"Sir! Yes, Sir!"
Yiski then starts walking toward the nearest inn. When he sees nobody is following, Yiski turns around.
Yiski
"You think I'm gonna sleep in a saloon which is ruined from the inside? Skies. I've got standards."
With that, the group sets out for the nearest inn, leaving Honeybadger and Dylan with guards watching over them while they clean and rebuild.
Honeybadger
"Wow... I honestly expected to die."
Dylan
"Yeah. At least we wouldn't have to clean."
--NARRATOR END--
--END OF DAY 112--
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 113--
--NARRATOR--
Honeybadger and Dylan had no rest throughout the entire night. When it seemed like they were through cleaning, there always seemed like another large black burn patch appeared randomly. It wasn't until this morning when the two finally got the saloon clean. Both men were bushed and laying down on the counter when they heard a voice.
Yiski
"Not bad, but you realize you're not done yet."
Honeybadger
"I know... I know. We need to replace all the furniture."
Yiski
"Close. You need to replace it all."
Yiski could practically hear Honeybadger groan and it brought a smile to his face.
Yiski
"Have fun you two."
Yiski left and right in front of the saloon, Lauren was waiting for him. He gave her a large smile and she shook her head.
Lauren
"A bit cruel and unusual isn't it?"
Yiski
"Heh. Nope. Maybe he'll learn next time not to mess with my shit."
Lauren
"Alright, now let's go. We're going to miss breakfast with the others!"
The two moved quickly, or at least as quickly with a man with a cast left leg using crutches.
--NARRATOR END--
RearAdmiralZill:
-Garden District-
Since the attack on the city, the Garden district had mostly been restored to its previous state. A few buildings were still getting patched up, but in all it was pleasant. On their way to breakfast with the others at a rebuilt diner, Zill and Jun'ko stopped by the plot that belonged to Oliver. By Zill's order, it was made into a memorial for those lost during that night. Jun'ko laid down some flowers and Zill said a quick prayer.
Jun'ko still helped Zill along as they made it to the Diner a little early. The waitress was surprised to see the Admiral there.
Waitress
"Oh Skies, hello Admiral, and welcome to our diner. Table for two?"
Zill
"Ten actually. They will be here soon."
Waitress
"Yes of course. This way.
As they followed her back, Jun'ko whispered into Zill's ear.
Jun'ko
Isn't it like 7 people??
Zill
"I forgot so I did my best, jeeze."
Jun'ko just giggled and kissed him when they sat down to wait for the others.
Yiski:
--Garden District--
Eventually, Lauren and Yiski made it to the restaurant. By the time they arrived, BdrLine, Ny-Lee, Jun'ko, Roland, and Zill were already seated and their waitress were taking their orders.
Yiski
"Skies. You couldn't wait another five minutes?"
Zill
"Yeah, five minutes thirty minutes ago."
Yiski rolled his eyes and pulled a chair out for Lauren and himself.
Roland
"How are you feeling today?"
Yiski
"Feelin' like I should've strangled Honeybadger last night."
Jun'ko
"Oh. Is the saloon still a mess?"
Yiski
"No. They got that all cleaned up. They just need to replace all the furniture."
Zill
"Still think you should've strangled him."
Yiski
"At the rate he's goin', another chance will come."
Yiski and Zill laughed, causing their respective girlfriends to roll their eyes. Soon, all the orders were taken and breakfast was served. Toward the end of their meal, an Elite approached them. The Elite seemed to be staring at Yiski. Yiski sighed.
Yiski
"Skies."
RearAdmiralZill:
-Diner-
Zill gets in front of the Elite as he approached the table. The Elite stood there and eyed him.
Elite
"This does not concern you Admiral."
Zill
"You will show respect to your superiors, regardless if you are on Council business or not. Tell them that Yiski is currently engaged and will be there when finished."
Elite
"They said is was urgent. And, don't forget your superiors either."
Zill
"Get the flak out of here. Have fun on wall duty for the next month scrubbing guns with your now useless Elite uniforms, Private."
With that, he left. Zill order coffee for everyone, and sat back down.
