Burning Skies Saloon

[Connor Mc.]

*Jibb held his breath*

well, there's no time like the present

*Connor over hears the yeshan comment*

Well, why would it matter if he were Yeshan?

OOC:my phone is going to die, so if i dont respond thats why

[Skyraider]

*Overhears Zill's comment and replies*

"Hmmm... The pipes could have had a virus or something in it, wouldn't exactly be rare nowadays." 

[Connor Mc.]

that doesn't make sense, I feel fine

*connor says before looking back at Yiski*

now why is being Yeshan such a controversy?

[Connor Mc.]

*Knowing he probably won't get an answer Connor refrains*

I guess we will never know, Yiski I'll take a mug of ale *as he thinks to him self, he worries about Jibb* God I hope Jibb doesn't get hurt, last thing I need is to lose my first mate

[Honeybadger]

-- Uptown Alleyway --

*Jibbs and Honeybadger are walking down the alleyway, there are several drunks and rats on either side of the street. Honeybadger turns to Jibbs who is weary of where he is going*

Alright Jibbs, this is how it's going to work. There's a poker tournament somewhere around here, I have our admission taken care of, all you have to do is assist me.

*Jibbs shoots a concerned look at Honeybadger*

What do you mean by "assist."

*Honeybadger looks at him and sighs*

Well, when I play, your going to feed me signs and tell me if they're bluffing or not. And when you play... Well, lets hope you don't get out too soon.

*Jibbs looks angrily at Honeybadger*

Wait! Why aren't you putting your neck on the line?!

*Honeybadger frows both brows at him and replies*

I don't suppose your a master at sleight of hand are you?

*Jibbs nods no, confused*

If you play fair and keep a basic card count, you'll get to the semi finals and then lose to me.

Why do I have to lose to you?

Because I'm not really here to make money, not from the game at least. You just stick to the plan, and you'll get your reward.

Wait, but what if we get caught!?

*Honeybadger approaches an unmarked doorway*

We're here.

*Jibb let's out a long sigh and follows Honeybadger inside*

[Yiski]

-Saloon-

Zill are you not taking order? Flak, give me a minute.

*Yiski comes out from the back, makes and hands Connor a Anvalan Reserve. Yiski then disappears to the back again.*

*Yiski and Skyraider check the tap pipes.*

Well, I don't see anything wrong with the pipes. Something like a good superheating should fix any little bugger tryin' to live in my saloon.

*Yiski then modifies his distilling equipment to have the tap pipes sit over the burner. Yiski looks over to Skyraider.*

I guess on the safe side, would you mind checkin' all the other barrels?

[Connor Mc.]

*As Connor leans back in his chair he wonders, and hopes that all is going well*

I hope he doesn't have to use that gun, I don't even know if it works, lord knows it's never even been shot..come to think of it..is it loaded? Did I just send my first mate into a situation where he could get shot and killed, without any means to defend himself, while I just lounge around this Saloon....

*He pauses his thought for a moment to focus on rolling another cigarette*

Well yes, I did..well, tough shit Jibb, you do owe me..

*Connor yells to the back of the bar*

Bout time!

*As he lights up another cigarette he sits there sipping his ale, trying to get as relaxed as possible*

Always look on the positive side of things Connor...

[Skyraider]

*Skyraider replies to Yiski*

"Want me to heat the barrels or something else? I don't have time to look at all of the individual molecules in the barrels."

[Papa Paradox]

Papa walks up to Connor and slaps his cigarette out of his mouth.

"Gods damn it boy, have some class."

Papa offers him a cigar.

"Now 'bout them Yeshans, they killed my friend, so I raided their towns and threatened their Emperor, pompous old bat... But that's all in the past, now I'm a legitimate businessman."

He manages to grunt out a partial laugh.

[Connor Mc.]

(OOC:I knew you would do that lmfao)

*Connor opens his eyes and almost falls out of his chair from being startled*

Well, I guess that's that then

*He gives a small laugh and lights up the cigar*

Hm, sounds like you and I are in the same boat, Pirates killed couple of my friends, only thing is, I can't go after them until my damn ship is fixed, which won't be for a while, I'll probably never get a chance to get my revenge

*Connor leans back into his relaxed position*

Ahh, but that's life eh? Win some, lose some. What kinda business you in?

[Honeybadger]

-- Somewhere In Analva --

*Honeybadger and Jibb walk into the poker den*

Oh god I'm going to get shot and killed, dammit Connor. What did you get me int-

*Jibb stops dead in his tracks as he sees the lustriously designed room, complete with premium poker tables, waiters with suits, and priceless chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.*

Honeybadger, what is this place!?

*Honeybadger looks up from his pocket watch to Jibbs*

Huh? Oh Jibbs would you please pick up your jaw, I think some of the ladies a staring.

LADIES!?

*he quickly looked up and saw eight beautiful girls dressed in lovely dresses and gowns giggling in his direction*
*Before he can say anything a waiter walks in front of him*

Hello sirs, may I help you- *the waiters face lights up* Oh, Mister Honey. And this is your guest. Please come this way we will seat you, just in time sir, the tournament almost began.

*Honeybadger gestures Jibbs to follow him to the dining table where they are seated*
*Once they sit down, one of the eight girls comes toward Honeybadger and grips his arm*

I see you've decided to come back Miseur Honey.

*Honeybadger now has a sly smile, and looks back to Jibbs*

Oh yes, Melissa this is Mr. Jibbs my new acquaintance.

*Melissa looks Jibbs up and down and smiles*

He's cute. *Melissa gestures over to the other girl who is now blushing* Jessie, come and make Mr. Jibbs comfortable.

*A lovely girl comes over to Jibbs and sits next to him shyly*

Thank you so much Connor.

[RearAdmiralZill]

*Zill gives Yiski a deadpan stare.*
You get me sick then expect me to take orders? Ill pretend you didnt say anything.

*He looks over the patrons, and see's Connor and Papa talking. His mind wonders who would in a fight between them. The thought makes him smirk.*

[Connor Mc.]

*Connor turns his head from Papa for a split second and notices Zill looking at both of them*

hmph, probably thinks he's tough shit, well, he's probably right..

*He turns back over to Papa, and blows another ring of smoke in the air*

[Honeybadger]

-- Poker Club --

*Honeybadger is playing with a deck of cards while Jibbs is sweet talking the girl next to him*

I should tell you about the time I singlehandedly shot down a raider fleet. I was working out below decks when all of a sudden- * Jibbs gets interrupted by the waiter clearing his throught*

What would you gentlemen like to drink?

*Honeybadger thinks for a moment and set down his deck of cards*

Scotch on the rocks please.

*The waiter turns to Jibbs*

And for you sir?

*Jibbs, forgetting where he was replied*

Same for me please.

*For a good five minutes, everyone at the table, including Honeybadger and the waiter was looking at Jibbs confused*

*Now embarrassed, Jibbs orders a Whiskey and puts his head low down on the table until the girl next to him grabbed onto his arm*
*The men enjoy their drinks until the waiter announced that the tournament had begun*

All participants, please take your seats. At the designated table.

*Honeybadger whispered to Jibbs*

Just hang back and stick to the plan.

What about you? What if you get caught?

*Honeybadger smirks*

Just relax and enjoy the magic.

[Papa Paradox]

"Hey you old bucket of bolts, pass me a cigar"

"Yeah, yeah..."

Papa toss' a cigar behind him without looking, Zill catches it, takes off his mask, lights up and enjoys. Connor's jaw dropped.

*OOC, wanted this exchange to happen now**
