The Snack Bar

[AirAllie14]

Yukki was hesitant but she too decided to drink out her second drink and then the alcohol really started to affect her, she barely had any consciousness anymore.

He looked at the cute princess that sat next to him. "So thank you for bringing me here. I-i really needed a good drink. He hiccupped. "I think its time for me to head back to my room for the evening. How about yourself?" @AirAllie14

StaffCinnamon: The blush on her face grows redder as he pulls her closer. She can sense his need for warmth and affection and how glad he was to see her again. "...Welcome back." She nestled into him, feeling the warmth of his body. "I'm...I'm happy you came back."

@Balthier

Her warmth was as intoxicating or more so than the saké, and he drank both up like the thirsty demon he was. He was still for some minutes holding her to him. "Forgive this old one, I have been too long alone." He smiled at her touching her hair, looking at her as if in a dream. "Miss Cinnamon, may I enquire of you are free this evening?"

[AirAllie14]

Yukki wasn’t looking to good. She looked up at him nodding, “y-yeah..... I should get going too.....” she stubbled for a bit. “Mind.... taking me... to my room....?” She asked and gave him her room key with the room number on it.

[Balthier]

Val watched Yukki get up, she looked shaky.  He waited to see what her escort would do with mild interest and one raised eyebrow.

[FieryDreams]

Derek rose using his abilities to keep from stumbling, "yes." All he can blurt. He offered his arm outwards to th young princess, saving to the other patron as he stared at the key recognizing which room She was in and leading her out of the bar. The walk was quite pleasant. The humid afternoon sun began to set, along with it went the heat of the day. A soft evening breeze blowing by as he led the intoxicated woman across the resort garden.

Once they stumbled into the lobby of the hotel,Derek led them to the elevator summoning it to the lobby and pressing the floor that would lead to Yukki's room. His intentions were of pure kindness, but if she requested him to follow in for more conversations he would not argue. Though he would stumble inside.

StaffCinnamon: She was about to respond to Val's invite when she noticed Yukki had a bit more than she probably should have. But once she saw that she had proper escort she turned back to Val with her full attention. She nodded to his question of of she was free. "I can go where ever you want. I will tend to you for as long as you wish." She looked at him calmly, but still blushing. 

@Balthier (sorry for the late reply. I hadn't noticed you had replied back.)

[Balthier]

Still holding her in his lap, "I would like that.  I would like that very much. Will you take saké with me in my room?"

StaffCinnamon: She nods, and goes to hop off of his lap, the realizes he is still holding her. "If you let me down, I would be glad to grab a few bottles and then meet you in your room. Or would you rather I walk with you?"

Having flown in to the island earlier in the evening, it was now night time. Lux had settled in with his belongings for his vacation, and decided to check out a local hot spot, The Snack Bar. Stepping inside, he pushed his glasses higher on his nose, glancing around as he made his way to a seat. When a waitress would come to tend to him, he smiled politely and would put his order in. "Hello, a Long Island, please." He would say, leaning back in his seat as he would watch the room for a few moments, then browsing on his phone for the time being. He didn't know what to expect, but it wouldn't be much of a vacation if he didn't seek out fun experiences.

StaffSylphina:

A few short minutes after his order was placed, the green mini-dress sporting brunette that had taken his order made her way back to him. Picking his icy mixed drink off of a plater ful of guest' drinks that she seemed to be manipulating as easily as if it were an extension of her own body, she placed his order down in front of him with a smile, chirping out to him in her jolly german accent. "Und here iz your drink ser! Do be sure to let me know if you need anysing else~" She punctuated this by flashing the young man a flirtatious wink and spinning away quickly enough to have the shirt of her dress flash her panties (though miraculously without spilling a drop of the liquids she carried) before she walked off to tend to the other guests whose orders she was handling.

He had been watching the room for a little while, waiting on his drink. Not too long though, as a waitress would come back with his drink of choice. He smiled warmly at her. "Thank you very much." He responded back to her, then saw the wink and her panties. This was surely a unique location, unlike other bars he had visited. He sat back enjoying his drink, continuing to watch the room. Once he would see another member of the staff, he would wave his hand to try to flag one down. When one approached, he leaned toward them a bit and said a bit softer. "This place was recommended to me by some locals, I'm not from around here. They said there was something that truly set this place apart drastically from others... What would that be?" He asked politely, raising a brow curiously as he gulped down more of his drink, beginning to feel the start to a nice buzz.

He let's her go reluctantly. His touch lingering on her waist. "I would walk with you. If you please."

@Lollipop

[Lollipop]

StaffCinnamon: She nods to him. Then she goes over to the bar. While she usually always seems calm and quiet, she seemed to move with a bit of urgency as she walked behind the bar. It was as if she seemed a bit excited. She quickly grabbed two large bottles of saki. The bottles were almost comically large compared to her. She hugged the two large bottles to herself and headed back to Val. "I wasn't sure how much you wanted to drink. This should be enough. I'm ready to go." 

@Balthier

[Balthier]

Val was Amazed. In awe she could lift those and seemed to carry them so easily, given her light frame.

Val turned towards the hotel, "I can carry one...  Or both, if you like Ms Cinnamon."

[Lollipop]

StaffCinnamon: She shifts the bottles in her arms to hold them a bit better. "No. It's my job to be of service to you." She looks down for a moment before looking back up at him. "Y-you deserve to relax after your long incarceration. I will do all I can, even this. And not just because it's my job... because I want to." She turns from and begins to walk to the exit. Her way of showing she wouldn't take no for an answer. Cinnamon  had her quirks, such as her quiet nature and lack of expression, but she was a hard worker.

[Lollipop]

StaffGinger: The bar girl stood at the bar washing glasses with a bit of  a bored expression. She let out a sigh. "...I hate slow days. Not enough guest for and event. No one fun to hang out with. Not even our usual miscreants to slack off with are here...what a drag."

StaffVanilla: Few moments later the bar door swings open and Vanilla walks in with Amon in tow. "Wow, this place is dead compared to usual." She spots Ginger at the bar. "Oh! We're in luck Amon!" She then yells over to Ginger as she walks toward the bar. "Hey cutie! How's my favorite red head today? " 

StaffGinger: She smiles happily.  "Vanny! Its soooo good to see you today lassy! It's been such a bore with no one here but me self."

[BladeRunner]

@Lollipop

Amon didn't ask any questions, instead he remained damn near silent on the walk to the Snack Bar. And rightfully so he remained quiet, but didn't shy away from conversation when it came up. And that creature still stuck to his mind, trapped in deep thought as to whether there was a wider variety, clearly many more of those things still out there. And there was that girl who like an idiot tried to intervene trying to tackle what Amon could guess was a three hundred pound skin sack of muscle and ferocity. 

As soon as they walked in, Amon could hear Ginger speak in some accent. Irish, or maybe Scottish even? The red hair clearly gave the woman away as Irish, though he wasn't necessarily sure, and he didn't want to be rude by asking and possibly offending someone he didn't even know. Nevermind the bloodstained and turn shorts and white t-shirt, they didn't necessarily stop to change, though blood must be a common sight on this island. 

Instead of a vocal response, when Ginger decides to greet him, Amon would simply smile and nod, giving only his first name and a, "Nice to meet you." 

[Lollipop]

StaffVanilla: "Well you got company now." Vanilla takes a seat at the bar and motions for Amon to join her. 

StaffGinger: Ginger takes notice of Amon. "Whose this strapping lad ya got with you? You two on a date?" As Amon introduces himself Ginger finally takes time to look the both of them over. Due to Vanilla's cheerful greeting she hadn't even taken notice that where covered in cuts. But now she was suddenly aware. "Amon!? What in the hells happened to you two!?" She hops the counter and starts to take a thorough look over the both of them. "Is he a newbie!? Did ya take him to the jungle!?"

Vanilla: "Calm down Ginger Beer, I only took him to level one area that we needed to check. We just ran into a level 2 threat and weren't prepared. But we made it back so all is good. Mind getting your med kit and fixing us up with some drinks?"

Ginger: She stares at Vanilla, unamused. "That's not a good way to be looking at it lassy." She hops back over the counter and runs in the back and shouts out to them. "Amon! I'm sorry for my friend. She's missing a few marbles upstairs." She comes back out with a med kit a d sits it on the counter. "Before I fix ya up, I'll fix ya a drink if you want. What will ya have. It's on the house, of course. But if it did cost money I would put it on her tab anyways for putting ya through so much trouble."

Amon smiled in return until Ginger began to lose her literal and metaphorical shit. Amon thought about that drink as Ginger sped and pulled out a medical kit faster than he could count. He sat next to her on a stool and replied simply with, "I think some strong whiskey would do. Any kind." 

Amon, forgetting his manners nearly, continued with, "And thank you. I don't think any of the cuts would be that bad-" He then looked at his right forearm and witnessed that large and deep slash he had there, how he didn't notice it before Amon didn't know unless the adrenaline was keeping his from feeling it. Now that he saw it though, he began to now feel the pain beginning to course in his arm. And it still dripped with blood... How long had he been bleeding?

"Huh, well would you look at that," Amon stated yet again, now realizing he felt slightly cold and weak, not realizing he was speaking his mind, "You know, today's been... Eventful. Either I'm in a dream or I'm insane, both of which are highly doubtful at this point. I think I just... Need to process everything, or if anyone could break it down to me like they would their kid, that would be great." 

It was quite clear Amon was now a bit pale faced. And it was quite clear that he wasn't sure how to handle the information he received visually thus far. He just wanted to settle for a drink, eat something, and try to understand everything that was going on. This island was not what he expected, and the fact- 

Amon snapped to Vanilla and said, "You're strong. Like holy hell, that was over three hundred pounds of muscle and anger you held up."

StaffGinger: She quickly pours him a whiskey, then immediately starts tending to his wounds. "Jeez your a real mess. Both of you are. And it sounds like your fresh on the island. Didn't anyone tell him about what this place is if hes got so many questions!?" 

StaffVanilla: "I assumed someone gave him the run down. That's the lobby's job!  Velvet just called me said someone wanted to join the defense squad. How was I to know how fresh he was?" She then hears Amon's comment about how strong she is and blushes a bit. "Yea...its a...that's a long story." She looks away. "But I have this strength, so i might as well use to keep everyone safe right? You weren't bad out there yourself for a guy with only a knife."

Ginger: "Only a knife!? Are ya out of ya mind!? Why did he only have a knife!?" 

The two argue back and forth as Ginger dressed their wounds and Vanilla filled her in on what happened in the jungle. Then Vanilla stands up and asks Ginger to give Amon an explanation on everything while she made a call to the owners of the Island about the girl they had seen in the jungle.

Ginger grumbles about Vanilla shirking her duty on to her as Vanilla dips into the bar's back room. 

"Jeez...that girl is a hurricane." Ginger looks at Amon. "I guess it's up to me to fill you in...at least your cute, so I guess I don't mind too much." She smiles and tries to lighten mood. She could see how pale he was and goes behind the bar and grabs some snacks for him. "Okay so, your a not in your world any more. What I mean is, this is a different plane of existence. Like Heaven or hell, but your not dead. This place is sort of limbo. A world between worlds. It functions on it's own time and space. It's both everywhere and nowhere at any time and no time. Ya following me so far?"

Amon couldn't help but smile as the two ladies bickered back and forth. Ginger tended to his wounds abd helped clean him up, the whiskey he quickly downed eventually taking its effect, warming him and so far it helped relax the man. Apparently he was supposed to be told as to what exactly this place was, that would have been nice. And it explained as to why there weren't many tourists, but rather people who actually lived here knowing well what it had to offer. 

Amon then watched as Vanilla walked away and now he had to remain here with Ginger. Hell, at least she told him he was cute. The comment actually helped his morale, however that morale would quickly dissolve as Ginger began to explain as to what this place was. And it quickly went from relaxation to intent confusion. And it sounded like a load of shit, but Amon only nodded trying to understand it. 

"Okay... A limbo... Following." Amon lied, clearly trying to figure out if he should call Ginger on the crap or not. He settled on not. Amon didn't want to anger anyone, so he kept the whole island subject in mind, taking a quick mental note on it. And though he was confused and skeptical he appeared to understand physically at least. 

 

[Lollipop]

StaffGinger: Ginger has dealt with enough guest while working at the bar to be a to tell when one doesn't really believe what's she's saying. After all it is farfetched and he isn't the first guest to not accept the reality the staff were trying to inform them of. 

She looks at him blankly for a second, the starts to rummage under the counter. "Ya got magic in where your from? I mean like, real witches and wizards fantasy magic, ya got that. I'd wager not. My world didn't have it either. Found it!" She stands up and puts a black box on the counter. "See your most likely from a E1. E1s are we staff refer to as Basic Earths. Their basically worlds that are near identical to the world where most of us Staff came from before we ended up on the island. E1s also dont have magic. This world on the other hand, this magical place, is made of magic." She opens the box. "Now even still not everyone can use magic. Most of us E1s just can never learn it. Something about us just makes it so we can just never naturally use it with out going through...some major changes. Vanilla is one such person. She couldn't use magic before but she can now. Ya probably saw her do it too, if you said you saw her hold off that pouncer bare handed. 

She pulls a glow green orb from the box. There was still a glowing red orb that looked like it had flame trapped inside it still sitting the box. "This is a mana orb. Got it from a guest a while back that was from a world where magic is an everyday thing. It doesn't have a lot of output but it should do well enough." She takes the orb and walks over to him. "With items like these, even us E1s can use magic with ease." Standing next to him, she places the orb against his bandaged wound. The orb begins to glow even brighter. After a few seconds the wound starts to heal rapidly. She looks him in the eyes with as much sincerity as she could muster. "Everything I've told you is true. Everything. I'm not the type of person to lie. And I'm not ready to con. With my own eyes I have seen things that would never be possible in my world. Ya have already too. Vanilla. Even that beast ya fought. Magic is responsible for their existence.  Please, believe me."

His skepticism growing ever more, Amon frowned when Ginger pulled out a black box. He was this E1 or something, apparently other world's exist that use magic and his was one of the kind that didn't have it. At first, as Ginger reached into the box Amon thought it was going to be some stick or a piece of cheap metal and plastic. However at the second he drew he brows together as he stared at the orb. This mana orb apparently existed in another plain, Ginger explained, but before Amon could protest she walked over and pressed the object against his hurt arm.

Amon felt the pain if the wound quickly fade till there was nothing. He couldn't help but rip off the tough bandage and look at the arm. His right forearm, not just the wound, but all the scratches and cuts were completely vanished. He gazed in shock then to the orb and it's brighter glow that faded in and out. Then to Gingers breasts to make sure he was seeing things right, then to Ginger herself. Amon was speechless.

"Okay... You have my attention now." It wasn't a definitive yes, but it was clear his interest was piqued. It would have to work as a yes.

Ginger: She sighed in relief. The light from the orb faded and she placed it back In the box. "Thank you for your trust. Wish I had extraordinary powers of my own to show to help convince you more, but sadly I'm pretty boring when it come to that kind of stuff I'm afraid.  Vanilla has powers, but she's pretty touchy about it considering where she got them from." She leans against the bar. "Are there any specific questions ya have? I figure your probably curious about the thing you fought in the jungle?"
