Burning Skies Saloon

[Skyraider]

*Sky replies to Shink's comment*

"Theres nothing to be afraid of! There isn't even powder in it!"

*Sky unscrews the tip of the rocket and tries to show Shink, but instead powder flies out of it.*

"Oh, maybe that wasn't the one I modified. Ah well."

[Connor Mc.]

*Connor enters the saloon and stomps out his Cigarette, he notices the new people behind the bar*

"Where did..Yiski? Is it? Go?"
*he sits down at his spot in the bar*

"I'll be having a clear skies" *he notices the hwacha rocket*
"That's a lot of firepower to have in this little place" *he laughs to himself*

[BdrLineAzn]

*BdrLine enters the Saloon with a hand on his back. Since sleeping on the couch last night, this mourning he woke up with cramps*

*He heads to the bar and notices Zill's and Jun's appearance. As well as the absence of Yiski behind the counter which was replaced by Roland and his sister*

*To Zill*
"Man looks like everyone is either busy or sickly looking. And I assume Yiski is back there in his room? And I thought once we came back from Yesha we would all be relaxing"

*Ny-Lee sees her brother and goes over and hands him a Hellfire*
"Well with all of us, I don't think we can get a chance to actually relax. And here, this may cheer you back up, plus I do owe you for letting Roland stay over"

*Bdr takes it and starts to drink it*
"Well it is a start"

*Roland notices Connor and goes over and hands him his drink*
"Well Yiski was up all night. I'm his usual replacement and assistant when it gets hectic in here. And Ny-Lee helps out around when it gets busy"

[Connor Mc.]

*Connor to Roland*

"Oh, well, yesterday was tad, um, hectic"

*He takes a big long drink and leans in closer to Roland to remain relatively unheard*

"Who's the chick?"

[Yiski]

*Ny-Lee moves in quick and takes the rocket from Skyraider.*

"I swear, the saloon just reopened! If Yiski was awake to see this I'd say he'd probably throw you out and toss the rocket at you!"

*Ny-Lee takes the rocket and stashes in the back. Roland chuckled for a moment, but then thinks about what his fiance said.*

"You know, I could see Yiski doing just that."

*Roland then responds to Connor.*

"That would be my fiance, Ny-Lee."

[Connor Mc.]

*Connors eyes get a little wider and he tilts his head back*

"Well" *he clears his throat* "You're a lucky man?"

*he finishes about half of his drink*

"Ny-Lee..now here I was thinkin' yall hated Yeshans or something"

*He laughs to himself and finishes his drink, motioning for another*

[Skyraider]

*Sky responds to Ny-Lee stealing his rocket*

"If Yiski were to throw me out then who would check his water to make sure mold doesn't grow in it?"

[Connor Mc.]

*Connor responds sarcastically*

"Maybe somebody who doesn't bring explosives in to a fine dining establishment like this?"

[Honeybadger]

-- Poker Club --

Once the two were done eating, they follow the waiter to the private room

Honeybadger and Jibbs are walking down a hallway leading to the championship room, the hallway is decorated with fine furniture and paintings

The two enter the room and are greeted by a man with a very nice patterned maroon suit, top hat, and very thick and groomed moustache.

Man at the table: "Hello gentlemen, welcome. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mr. Riggs, the luckiest man in Analva"

Honeybadger: "Nice to meet you, I'm Mr. Honeybadger and this is my friend Jibbs."

Jibbs:"Thats MISTER Jibbs to you. I've always wanted to say that..."

The men sit down and start to play. The first round went off without a hitch, Honeybadger used his slight of hand effectively to give him a three of a kind and Jibbs waited for the deck count to get high enough. This went on for the whole match until the once smiling Mr. Riggs, is now visibly irked.

Honeybadger:C'mon Jibbs let's drive this home and get this over with.  *the last hand is dealt*

Honeybadger: Shit, I hope to Christ that the count is high enough for Jibbs to win...

Honeybadger folds reluctantly. Jibbs looks over clearly shocked. Than quickly recovered to glance at his hand.

Jibbs: What the flak are you thinking Honeybadger? I can't win this, the count is low as shit. Flak.

The first cards are flipped over, Riggs grins. Jibbs is deep in concentration as Honeybadger starts to sigh and take off his hat.

The flop. Riggs has a sly expression on his face and starts to slowly sip his drink and shift his vision over to Honeybadger who is playing with a coin.

Jibbs: This is statistically impossible, even with the current cards on the table, there is no way it will be that card...

The river, it's as if it was in slow motion, the lucky bastard smirking across from Honeybadger, The unamused Honeybadger, and Jibbs whose hair is now greasy from stress.

The card is flipped over.

[BdrLineAzn]

*BdrLine finishes his Hellfire and to Connor*
"Naw that just Paradox. He has a bad experience with them a long time ago"

*BdrLine sits back and remembers what Paradox said back at La Ferra*
*He snaps out of it*
"But its all in the past and he is usually fine around Ny, Jun, and I"

*Ny-Lee goes and gives BdrLine another drink*
"Still doesn't make what he did right"

*BdrLine chuckles at Connor's comment about explosives*
They have no idea what goes on around here

[Connor Mc.]

*Connor shrugs*

"Well, I'll drink to that, Ny-Lee I'll have a Hellfire"

*Connor lounges back*

"Do you have any idea where this Paradox fellow buys his cigars from?"

[BdrLineAzn]

*Ny-Lee goes over and makes a Hellfire for Connor*
*She goes and hands it  to him*

*BdrLine almost finished his second mug turns to Skyraider*
"So Sky, when do you need that engine by? I have it all ready to go if you want to look at it"

[Skyraider]

*Skyraider responds to Bdrline's question*

"Soon as possible, the quicker I have it the sooner I can get it installed into the plane and test fly it."

[Connor Mc.]

*Connor finishes his Hellfire and turns to skyraider*

"Say, how hard is it to fly one of those planes? Without having any crew to save your ass it must be horrible"

*He pauses to think*

"Then again..it must be a nice thing to not have to worry about your fellow crew screwing shit up"

[Skyraider]

*Sky sits up and prepares for a long and boring speech.*

"Airplanes are much harder to fly, since you have all sorts of control that an airship doesn't have. For example it can go into a steep dive or climb extremely fast. However, an airship can be repaired on-the-go, if you are hit in a plane you can't get out and fix the plane while your flying. So it requires a lot more effort and skill to fly a plane but once you acquire the necessary skills needed, then you can perform advanced maneuvers that an airship simply couldn't. Also, an airship could easily take out a plane, but if you have multiple planes then you could take down an airship. THERE. That answer your question?"
