Burning Skies Saloon

[Yiski]

*Yiski is reminded during their days in the Baronies Military. The two of them together were an absolute terror in the skies.*
*Zill managed to turn the skies black with Then it caught fire while Yiski effortlessly shot down any ships with Blood Blot.*
*The memories brought a smile to Yiski's face as he takes a swig of No.3*

Ah, those were the days.

--NARRATOR--

The evening went on and everybody in the saloon was in high spirits.

Zill managed to get Then it caught fire back up and running (and set a new record for the most Hellfires in a night: 3), Yiski was excited to what effects his brews will have, Jun'ko and Ny-Lee catch up on the past few years (mostly Jun'ko telling Ny-Lee her recent adventures), and BdrLine has a clean house (even he deserves a silver lining).

Many other patrons were happy the Port was fully functional again. Everybody celebrated with lots of laughter and an equal amount of drinking.

By the time the clock hits 2 a.m., everybody has already left. Yiski let out a sigh, but the saloon needed to close for the night and he needed his beauty sleep.

--NARRATOR END--

--END OF DAY 25--

[Yiski]

--START OF DAY 26--

--NARRATOR--

By the time Roland and Yiski wake up, the sun had already been up for an hour. Since Ny-Lee was able to stay with BdrLine, Roland came down from the spare room. He knew Yiski was still not 100% in running the saloon on his own.

As Roland approached the back room where Yiski's room was, Roland caught two distinct aromas. One smelled like the fresh winds which blew along the Baron's coast. The other, well, let us just say if not for the first aroma, Roland would have been gagging for air. From his years with helping Yiski, Roland learned one truth about Yiski's brews: The worst it smelled, the harsher the drink. And this new brew was certainly more foul than the Hellfire.

Now many of you wonder, why does the Hellfire not suffocate the patrons? Well, the stink only applies to a new brew. By the time Yiski serves it, he adds other ingredients which mask the smell, but not dilute the potency.

--NARRATOR END--

*Roland holding his shirt to his mouth as he gets into the back room.*
"Yiski, are you back there?"

*Yiski turns to Roland and smiles*
Yeah, I'm awake and I've gotta say the brews are commin' out great.

"I can tell. Have you thought of a name for your brews yet?"

*Yiski tilts his head*
Hmm.... Not yet. I'll probably figure them out when I let the other start drinking it and get their opinion of how it tastes.

"So, you're not going to try them yourself?"

*Yiski laughs*
Hell no! I've got no idea what this stuff'll do to me. Better to use the others.

*Roland gives a forced smile and thinks*
I better get Qwerty or Oliver to stop by today.

[Shinkurex]

*A loud banging could be heard from the door*

"YISKI! OPEN UP.... I NEED SOMETHING STRONG"

[Qwerty Kun]

And I should probably keep him from drinking it, whatever I can smell now is almost certainly lethal.

[Shinkurex]

*Looks at qwerty*

"You'd want something too, if your powder monkeys decided to load Lochanagar rounds in a hwacha.... idiots almost hit the Dean's office..... and who did they blame?!?"

*Point's to himself*

"I'm lucky they didn't take my job"

[Qwerty Kun]

Then you should discipline them, I have a serum that would work well.

*Qwerty reaches inside his coat and pulls out a needle filled with yellow liquid.*

[Shinkurex]

*face paling as he remembers the last time qwerty 'Disciplined' someone*

"No thanks Qwerty... I already have them running around the compound... 200 laps should fix them"

[RearAdmiralZill]

*Zill is making his way up from the City Center. In his hand is a letter from the Council. Those damned politicians always knew how to drag an Admiral down. Despite the knowledge that the Port was rebuilding at a rapid pace, they saw fit to blame Zill for the carnage that ensued. Typical crap that never went anywhere legal wise, it was still a splinter in his mind. The Council also reminded him of his next mission up north. Zill knew it would happen in time. Ironic that they want action so fast, yet sit in their Halls and do naught for months. Zill approaches the Saloon..*

I'll give yea a punch to the gut if yea need something right now, Mr. Instructor. Heard about your incident. Higher ups were already throwin' fits. Youre welcome for saving your hide.

[Yiski]

*Yiski was still putting the finishing touches on the brew which smelled to high hell and heard Shink yelling from outside.*

Roland, go unlock the front and see what the hell Shink is yelling about.

"Alright."

*As soon as Roland unlocks the door, Shink forcibly opens the door, causing Roland to fall on the back.*
*Roland lets out a small grunt*

"Morning to you Shinkurex."

*Yiski steps out and sees Roland down.*
Dammit Shink! Don't run the poor man over. Now help him up.

*Yiski notices Qwerty and Zill following in.*
Mornin' feeling like trying some new brews?

[Shinkurex]

*looks to Zill*

"That was you?... I guess I should thank you then"

*Helps Roland to his feet*

"Sorry friend... I've had a bad day, and need something stiff"

*Turns to Yiski*

"I hope what you got packs a punch... I need to forget about this day"

[Qwerty Kun]

Oh, this will end terribly. I should prepare.

*Qwerty heads to the bar and open his jacket, the inside lined with different needles and tools. Thinking for a second he places 5 needles on the bar, then sits, ready for a drink*

Hit me

[RearAdmiralZill]

*Puts the rolled letter into Yiski's hand*

If it can make me forget these gasbags, I'll take one.

*Pulls a flask out and takes a swig. Then replaces it. The smell finally hits him...*

By the Skies, how on earth do you explain that?! People will start thinking you've saved a body part from all your victims in your basement.

*Gives it another big wiff...*

Dragon Tongues, Frost Crystals, Night Berries, and a fist full of lochnagar powder. Smells like my kind of brew.

*Looks to Shink*

No problem. The last moron tried telling the monkeys that Lesmok didn't work in the flamethrowers. He was outta there pretty fast...

[Shinkurex]

*Sees that Zill survived the encounter*

"I'll take a glass of that"

*Grabs the glass given to him, and proceeds to chug the entire glass in one go*

"Pretty good... doesn't look like it has much-"

*Smoke can be seen coming out his ears, and Shink doubles over in pain*

"By the gods of Anvala! Forget what I just said"

*Collapses*

[BdrLineAzn]

*walks in Ny-Lee and sees Shink on the floor*

Why is it that everytime I come in, you always end up on the floor?

*Smells the first brew from the back*
Mmm that smells good. What is it? Anyway I can try it.

[Qwerty Kun]

I wouldn't recommend it Borderline, it is what currently has our companion on the floor

*Qwerty then takes one of the needles of the desk, before sharply jabbing it in to skin's chest and sinking the plunger. With a cough and a splutter he wakes up*

Take a sip next time you fool, consider your actions and weigh their risks
