-- Poker Table --

*Honeybadger sat at a table filled with three other people equally deadpan and well dressed*
*Honeybadger looks at his hand*

Two kings, let's see what we're dealing with

*Honeybadger looks over to Jibbs who is nodding no slightly*

Nobody bluffs in my game, bad move.

*Honeybadger, who is dealing, cups a high card in his hand as he flips and raises the river*
*All of his oponenents fold and Honeybadger collects the pot*

*Under his breath* High and dry...

*Jibbs who is leaning on the wall worried he'll be caught wonders*

I sure as hell hope he knows what he's doing.

*Ten minutes pass and Jibbs and Honeybadger are continuing their techniqueue under everyone's noses. The once carefree opponents that he had been playing with are now very worried as they hang on to the change they were left with, while Honeybadger sits around an enormous pile of chips*

Last hand, c'mon...

*Jibbs is now biting his nails anxiously*
*The flop. Two spades and a diamond*
*His opponents smirk*

"All in..."

*Honeybadger calls, worried this time*

Shit, the count is too high. And I've got a shit hand.

*The flop, three of spades*

*The opponents are now not even trying to hide their exitement*

Shit, c'mon all I need is this one card...

*Last flip, six of spades*

*The opponents throw their hands out showing two flushes*

*Honeybadger let's out a sigh*

*Jibbs, now terrified is down to the stubs of his fingertip*

*Honeybadger stands up, everyone's eyes follow him*

Gentlemen... Good game.

*Honeybadger throws his hand on the table revealing that he had a straight flush*

*Jibbs is the first to start cheering as the others give him a clap*

*The waiter stood up and cleared hs throught*

"Mr.Honeybadger is now in the semi-finals, next match is against Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Sanders, and Mr. Jibbs. Good luck to all of you."

*Jibbs approaches Honeybadger*

What now?

*Honeybadger looks up and sighs*

We might need a plan B, so take this and listen.

*Honeybadger takes a small package out of his coat pocket and hands it to Jibbs, then leans in to whisper something to him.*

*Jibbs nods*

Got it.

*As Jibbs starts to go, Honeybadger stopped him*

And good luck.

*The waiter came up and addressed everyone*

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, the next game will take place in private due to some complaints about players cheating, we do not know who was cheating in and of the games, but the semi finals and the next round, as well as the championship will be done in private."

Just as planned... *Honeybadger let's out a smirk and returns to his table*

*While Honeybadger enjoys his drink, he spots Melissa at the otherside of the room, once she saw him she quickly came over*

"Congratulations Mister Honey." *she said while hugging him*

Thank you Mel, but you know I always win. You should stop being surprised. How's Dalton by the way?

"He's fine and also far far away. He still tinkers in your old workspace"

* Honeybadger sighs*

Well I gave it to him after I left for Yesha.

* She gives him a cold stare*

"That was back when we thought you might come back..."

*Sighs* Can we not talk about this now, I'd hate for both of us to start crying over this.

*She gives him a scolding stare, then lightens up*
*She starts to smirk while leaning in on him*

"Now when are you going to get around to the magic trick you said you would do for me."

*Honeybadger gives a smirk as well*

Now THAT, can be aranged

-- Poker Room --

*Jibbs is sitting next to a huge pile of chips*

I should play against rich people more often, it's almost boring.

--Narrator--

Out in the Western District, after what felt like a good day of exercise, Ny-Lee decides that they are finished for the day. They notices the change of day from light to dark.

Roland is a bit out of breath as he is still adjusting to actually working out as well as the limp in his leg.
*Whew* That.. is ... actually ... a bit... fun.

Ny-Lee, wiping of some sweat from her brow, turns to Roland.
It was a was actually quite fun as well. But it was better knowing that i can spend it with you dear.

Roland blushes a little from his fiance's comment. He looks up in the sky and notices that it was night time already.
Huh? Where did the time go? I'll guess we should head back to the Saloon and get change out.

As they are walking back, Ny-Lee notices that they are near the docks, more specifically near her brothers house.
Hold on dear, I got a better idea. Why don't you just change and spend the night in my brother's house. You can take his room for the night.

As Ny-Lee pulls Roland towards the house, he is having some thought against it.
Are you sure, wouldn't your bother be a little mad about this. And what about him, where would he go?

Ny-Lee opens the door and pulls him in.
Ah don't worry about my brother, i just make him sleep on the couch.

Roland reluctantly goes ahead and follows Ny-Lee inside.

Back at the Saloon, our group is around the place. Upstairs , Jun'ko is sleeping off from all her Sake Bomb Shot. While in the main floor of the Saloon, Yiski and Zill manages the different drinks and orders form the bar.

In the conversation with Connor and Papa Paradox, Paradox turns to him and answer his question.
The business I'm in. Well you are looking at the owner of the largest trading company on this side of the Burren, Dandy Lions Trading Company

At another part of the Saloon at a table, BdrLine is working with Skyraider as they both look at his schematics.
Hmm I think I got a solution for your engine. Back in my warehouse, I've got a modified squid engine that i was working on, maybe it can fit into the fuselage of the plane.

Sky thinks it over as BdrLine explains the details of the dimensions.
"Hmm that may work. Here, bring it to this airfield so we can fit it."

Skyraider writes out the address and hands it to BdrLine.

As the time passes by, Yiski looks at the mounted clock and sees that its already 2 in the mourning of the next day. He goes to the center of the Saloon and yells over the many patrons.
Alright it's time for me to close up shop. I don't care what you people do, but you can't do it around in here.

As all the patrons start to exit the building, Zill goes up to Yiski.
Well I'll heads upstairs and watch over Jun

Yeah I guess I head in as well. See ya in the mourn'

Both Yiski and Zill heads to their respected rooms, Zill goes up and opens the door where Jun'ko is sleeping. He goes over and sits on the bed next to her. He stares at her sleeping figure and strokes her forearm, not wanting to disturb her, Zill pulls out a chair and place it next to her bed and doze off into a slumber. While Yiski heads straight to his room downstairs and once he hits his bed, immediately goes to sleep from the long day.

As he enters his house, BdrLine notices that Ny-Lee is still awake. She is holding in her hands a spare pillow and blanket. Confused by this Bdr asks her.
Soo whats with the pillow and blanket?

Well i decided that after the long training day we had, I figured that Roland should stay for the night. I don't want him to walk all the way homw on the leg he has. He upstairs in your room and no if, and's, or but's you'll be sleeping on the couch.

BdrLine grumbles at his sister as he takes the things from her.
Really, I'm on the couch. Whose house is this now anyways. I hope its just one night.

He goes over to the couch and makes himself comfortable. Happy that BdrLine complied, she heads back up and calls down.
Tahnk you brother, I owe you one.

Yeah yeah.

And finally to our new friends at the poker club, Mr. Jibbs has played through the semi-final and is now entering the final with Honeybadger. Once the rounds concludes, the waiter stands up and clears his throat.

"And that concludes today's games, tomorrow we are hosting the finals. We all like our participants to stay the night in the rooms here. In the mourning we will announce who will play in the finals, so gentlemen if you please can leave the Poker Room and lounge around our bar."

Everyone leaves the room and heads out back to the main bar, Honeybadger and Jibbs meet with each other to talk more of the plan, eventually when both feel confident, they head to the rooms that they are assigned.

--START OF DAY 64--

--NARRATOR--

Yiski spent the entire night disinfecting the tap pipes and slept very little. When morning rolled around, Yiski was checking all his barrels. He found the problem: Improper storage of a few of the barrels while the team was away.

Yiski dumped the tainted barrels and sighed to himself.

It could've been worse.

When Yiski was satisfied the remaining barrels were clean and the tap pipes properly disinfected, he set up the taps and barrels.

By the time Yiski was ready to open, it had gone well into the afternoon.

Huh... I guess Zill and Jun are still feelin' under.

Finally, Yiski turned on his open sign.

*Shink strolls into the Saloon. He was feeling a bit on edge, as he spent the night in jail, do to a slight discord he had with his landlord*

"Hey Yiski, did I miss anything yesterday?"

*Shink sits at the bar, and orders some hellfire to start with*

(OOC: I really think its time to ditch colors. Its getting too trippy and confusing with all the added people.)

Jun'ko was the first to wake after yesterday's drink mishap. Yiski's dosage of Clear Skies helped. She felt Zill next to her, though he was still out cold. She slowly got out of bed and looked at him.
"I barely remember what happened, but he looks as rough as I feel. Better let him sleep."

She gets on some clothes, puts her hair up lazily, and heads downstairs. She sits at the bar.
"Can I have some water Yiski? My head is killing me."

She then glances at Shinkurex.
"Hey Shink."

*Shink glances in Jun'ko's direction*

"Hey Jun... You look rough. Busy night?"

*Takes the offered hellfire, and empties if in one go. Shink orders another*

*Yiski hands Jun'ko some water. Yiski then looks over to Shink.*

"Well, if you consider poisonin' patrons due to poorly maintained equipment interesting, then yes."

*Yiski got himself glass of water and sat at the bar.*

"Spent all last night and a good part of this mornin' gettin' everythin' fixed. Skies, I could use some sleep."

*As if on cue, Roland and Ny-Lee showed up at the saloon. Roland sees Yiski face down into the bar and walks over to him.*

"Heveans Yiski, did you not sleep at all?"

"Nope, you mind taking over the saloon for today while I sleep?"

"Of course." *Roland turns to Ny-Lee* "Darling, would you mind helping me?"

*Ny-Lee chuckles as she walks over to Roland and gives him a kiss.*

"Of course, I'll help."

*Yiski then gets up and walks toward his room in the back.*

"Don't wake me unless it's the end of the world."

*Honeybager rolls around in bed and gradually got up*

"I should find Jibbs before the tournament starts..."

*Jibbs, now sitting at the table with his head draped over the table spots Honeybadger coming out of his room still buttoning up his vest*
*Jibbs shoots up and gestures Honeybadger to come over*

"How was your night?"

*Jibbs runs his hand through his hair*

"Still suffering from it."*Starts to smirk* "So what ever happened to Melissa?"

*Honeybadger slowly sits down in the chair and immediatly changes the subject*

"I see you got around to taking a shower?"

*Jibbs lowers his brows annoyed*

"So, whats for breakfast?"

*The two eat slowly until the waiter came to adress everyone once again*

"Laides and Gentlemen, the Championship Finals are about to begin. It will be against Mr. Honeybadger, Mr. Jibbs, and our reining house champion, Mr. Riggs."

*Honeybadger leans into Jibbs*

"Thats our man. Stick to the plan"

*Jibbs smirks*

"Always."

Zill finally started to wake up. The afternoon sun burned his eyes, and he felt like a Galleon was on his chest. He checked his torso bandages and then slowly made his way downstairs. He passed Yiski on the way down.
"You look worse than I do."

Yiski just grunted.
"Tanks clean. Sleep now."

He went up to his bed while Zill could only shake his head and continue downstairs. Jun'ko came over and gave him a hug once he got down.
"At least we're feeling crappy together, right?"

Zill just leaned on her.
"Cant I have one day without something terrible happening?"

"Sure, have some water and sit."

Zill took a swig of the water, then looked at Roland.
"Mind getting a double Clear Skies for us?"

*Shink downs his second glass*

"Huh... maybe it was a good thing I was locked up... I wouldn't want to look like Zill here"

*Gives a hearty laugh and heads over to his usual table*

*Roland hands Zill and Jun'ko their Clear Skies. As he hands them, he gets a better look at them.*

"I wonder why I did not get sick. I drank the same sake the others did."

*Even though it's been a few days since the saloon's reopening, many of the regulars came clamoring inside. The influx of patrons kept both Roland and Ny-Lee busy.*

"Ny-Lee darling, do you think we can count this as training?"

"If we keep moving this much, I'd say so love."

*Even with the increasing noise, Yiski is deep asleep.*

*Sky walks in with a Hwcha rocket and sits down quite abruptly, then he comments on Jun'ko and Zill's appearance.*

"Great Yeshan Emperor! Looks like you two haven't slept in years! Glad you're drinking water this time."

*Sky then tosses the Hwcha rocket into the air and catches it, then turns to Shink.*

"And good morrow to you sir!"

*Sees Skyraider*

"If you think that will scare me, you've got another thing coming... You haven't seen Yiski actually use one of those"

*An involuntary shudder shakes Shink's whole body. He may not remember the details, but he knew it was bad*

-The Docks-
*Connor stood there staring at his wrecked Goldfish while his crew and a few dock worker's were repairing it*

"I can't believe I'll be stuck here for 2 weeks"
*Connor puts his fingers in his mouth and lets out a loud whistle*

"Aye sir?" *replies his lead engineer*

"I'm going into town, make sure non of these...gentlemen ruin the ship anymore!"

*his engineer replies*

"Aye sir!"

*Connor starts to stroll towards the Saloon, smoking one of his cigarettes, wishing he could get his hands on another cigar*
