Keris had just been promoted /and/ it was his 20th Turnday, so what to do? Throw a party! Of course, as the Apprentices started to fall asleep, Cipri and Keris decided to go down to the Happy Harper, maybe get a glass or two of wine, and well... here's the outcome! And I'm telling y'all, I never had so much fun RPing before! :-)
Oh and BTW, for those of you who know how the Vault usually look, take a look at those decorations, courtesy of Cipri ;-)
The Vault
No more than a hideaway amidst the gothic grandeur of the StarHall, this cozy lounge is a place of laughter if not greatness, warmth if not splendour. The close stone walls are insulated with tapestries of all shapes and sizes, most a little worn, several faded and a good many depicting scenes from childhood stories. The mismatched chairs and sofas are in a similar state, rescued from cellars and rubbish-heaps but perhaps more softer and more comfortable for that, scattered in a rouch circle on a hardwood floor. A low round table in the centre of the room holds cards, discarded hides, mugs, and a pot that holds klah as long as someone remembers to fill it. The one window at the back wall lets light and air into the warm, cozy room.
Scattered troughout the rooms are numerous glowbaskets. Thin hides, that would be transparant if they weren't coloured in light shades of red green and blue cast a colourfull and happy athmostphere troughout the room. Small bells and sticks, hung near the window, create soft, eerie yet comfortablly soft sounds,
The window looks out over Central Garden.
Through the open window, you notice that It is a summer afternoon.
On the perch are Pudding and Saturnax.
You see A pile of books here.
You notice Amy asleep here.
Tathea, Lilinia, Libby, Dahndi, Indrah, and StarCraft are here.

Dahndi drifts slowly into slumber with her head in the crook of her arm and her masses and masses of Guinea Gold hair curling about her face.
Dahndi has disconnected.
StarCraft sets down tray of bubblies.
StarCraft sets down tray of drinks.
StarCraft sets down tray of food.
Lyleina walks silently in from the Main Hall Balcony.
Keris **smooches y'all. "Welcome ;) And please, don't mind the builder over in the corner! It's totally OOC ;) To get something from the trays, type 'get drink from tray of drinks' or whichever tray it is. So, let's RP! :D"
OOC: StarCraft shoots his gun. let the RP begin!
Lyleina wanders in, eyes glancing slightly nervously at the people. A little smile is given to Keris and she walks quickly over to him, not knowing any of the others. "Hey Keris."
Lilinia grins at Keris, who's nearly ancient? and flops down onto her favorite sofa with lots of bouncy springs, "Hi everybody..."
Keris comes up the stairs, smiling brightly at the others. "Hey y'all," he greets, "and Lei! Glad you could make it." He moves towards one of the couches, nodding around. "Please, help yourself to food and drinks," he says, suddenly remembering what politeness kinda means...
Lilinia gets a drink from tray of drinks.
Mathius walks in from the Male Apprentice Quarters.
Lyleina goes home.
Mathius gets a drink from tray of drinks.
Mathius takes a drink fom his greenfruit juice. It is kind of sour like an apple. He looks around to see any familiar faces
Libby flicks her eyes over the crowd, and doesn't spot anyone she knows that well. After scanning the drinks she dumps herself into a chair and just watches
Lilinia sips away at her drink and looks at ancient Keris, "Soo... 'xactly /how/ old are you Keris?"
Cipri walks in from the Main Hall Balcony.
Cipri (#11800)
male StarCraft Journeyman
Quite tall and broad-shoulderd, Cipri is looking quite strong and brave, for his age. His face is tanned by the sun and is even further darkened by his small black mustache. His neck is decorated by the short hairs of a beard.
Most of his long black hair is tied together in the back of his neck, but there are some locks escaping it. Altough his face is quite dark, he has a pair of sparkling brown eyes, and a smile that is always near his mouth.
The knot on his shoulder is worn with great pride. A double Cord, one red, and one white, form a single loop but leave a long tail. It is a sign to anyone who sees it, that he's a Journeyman of the StarCraft

You notice Mathius giving you a good stare.
Keris walks to get himself something to eat, waving across the Vault as he spots someone vaguely familiar. "So, everyone doing good?" he inquires out loud, smiling around. Lilinia gets a grin. "I'm 20, Lilinia. Think that's old?"
Tathea sips at her redfruit juice, looking around the lounge, scanning the room for familiar faces. Spotting Keris, and immediately registers him as the one who gave her the knot. She smiles and continues to sip at her becerage.
Lilinia gags on her drink a little as her rarely seen mentor comes in, wondering if he escaped from a dungeon or something...
Lilinia nods at Keris, eyes dancing, "You’re nearly over the hill Keris! You might as well pick out some flowers for your grave!"
Cipri walks into the room, with a big smile on his face. "Now what have we here, a party?", he asks out loud. Eyes scan over the room, face joining them, handing out smiles and nods to the various persons in the room he knows, or does not yet know.
Keris snickers lightly. "You think so, do you?" he asks of Lilinia. "Oh, so that's what it takes to get you out of a certain persons's room, Cipri?" he calls out, waving at the Journeyman.
Tathea gets a meatroll from tray of food.
Mathius gets a meatroll from tray of food.
Tathea grabs a meatroll from the tray, takes a small bite, and then continues sipping at her glass of redfruit juice. She smiles to anyone and everyone, though she hardly recognizes any of them.
Keris looks around, to make sure everyone's happy and awake, and notices some of the newer Apprentices hiding in the darker corners. Still waiting for Cipri to answer though, he decides to give them time to start talking with the others.
After turning a bit red for a few seconds, Cipri quickly gets back to his old self again, "Beats being alone", he returns, meaning both at the present as normally, "'sides, y'all made too much noice to get anything done, so I checked to see what was going on here". He gets himself a glass of juice aswell, after throwing a quick wink at Keris for his comment
Libby shuffles around a bit, and finally decides to get a drink. She walks over to the table, still watching eveyone else.
Amy walks happily with a smile on her face in from the Female Apprentice
Lilinia smiles and stands, "I don't feel very good... I think I should go and sleep... Happy Turnday Keris."
Keris chuckles lightly. "Hmm, I guess you're right," he says, winking back. As /if/ this StarCrafter was ever alone. "So where /is/ Lyana?" he continues innocently. Oh, wait, we all knew Cipri was talking about her, right? "Thank you, Lilinia."
Cipri throws a concerned look at Lilinia, and smiles "Seeya Later, Lili", he says with a small wave.
Indrah grins. "It's your turnday? How old? When was it?"
Lilinia puts down her glass and smiles at everybody and walks back to her bed, "Bye bye, love all!"
Lilinia walks to the Female Apprentice Quarters.
Keris sends Indrah a grin. "20. And well, today," he chuckles, sipping from a glass of greenfruit juice.
Indrah giggles. "Congratulations." she says.
Libby nods at Keris "Yer, congrats!" she adds, having forgotten to say it before. She still can't decide on a drink
"Thank you, Indrah, and Libby," Keris replies, flashing them a bright smile. Eyes go back to Cipri again, waiting to hear what he has to say.
Amy hmms, "Congrats." she says a little bit late, but grins.
Cipri leans on the back of one of the many big soft chairs, and grins at Keris. "She's resting. Stayed up late last night, to do some gazing, to see beautiful things, and do typical Journeyman stuff", he explains. That's all true isn't it? 'cause only a Jman can be with someone, and Cipri IS beautiful, or so they say. He yawns softly, himself being tired aswell...
Amy goes home.
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes in from the Main Hall Balcony.
Keris arches an eyebrow at Cipri. "Up late, eh?" he repeats, snickering slightly. Yeah, gazing indeed... "Carna!" is called out as said person is spotted. "Over here!"
Carna nods her head slightly at Keris, and leans up against the nearest wall.
Libby takes a redfruit juice, and sits on the table, just to be different. Sighing she sips it, still gazing around the room
Carna allows her eyes to scan the room, smiling softly at the few she recongnizes, but never moves from the wall she's leaning on.
Keris abandons Cipri for a moment, walking towards Carna. "Hey, how're you doing? Can I get you anything?"
Cipri nods at Keris. "That’s how ya keep ‘em with ya", he says softly as he walks by him, wink once again on his face, and he heads for the food. Now there's something he'd like, food...
Carna looks up at Keris and smiles softly, gently shaking her head and quietly saying, "No, Sir...."
Keris throws a grin towards Cipri, then tilts his head at Carna. "You sure?" he prods, smiling.
Carna inhales deeply... she won't ruin this for him. "Yes, Sir. I'm sure."
Keris shrugs. "Alright then," he says, walking to join Cipri by the food table. Oh yes, food is always good.
Carna smiles and continues to lean against the wall, keeping to herself as always.
Libby swings her legs back and forth, absently looking at the pile of books on a table, then shakes her head and looks away. The juice is once again sipped.
Cipri's already eagerly looking over all the various food stuff displayed on the trays. "We should do this more often", he says, licking his lips in anticipation, as he starts to pick some small snacks.
Meyana steps in from the Main Hall Balcony.
Carna laughs softly at the two Journeyman, then closes her eyes.
Keris grins and starts stacking food for himself. "Well, you're allowed to eat any time," he says teasingly, turning to wave at Meyana as she arrives.
Carna sighs and moves to curl up in one of the chairs, watching her fellow crafters absently.
Tathea looks around, then swallows the last bit of redfruit juice from her glass. She shrugs and makes her way back to the female dorms.
Tathea goes home.
Cipri says, "yes, yes.. "he knows that. Of course he does, he likes to do so, and does it alot. "But it's more fun with such a party around it." He grins at Keris, and slaps him on the shoulder, "Well, congrats, Ker, 20's a nice age to be J-Man"
Carna laughs over at Cipri and Keris and shaking her head gently, she turns her eyes to the floor.
Keris chuckles and gives Cipri a wink in return. "I know, I know. And thanks, it's very nice indeed," he states, "and now I have a couple of Turns to catch up on your activity level, hmm?"
Carna sighs softly and brings her head up to lean against the wall, as she seriously considers leaving.
Libby appears quite content to just sit, even if food isn't really her thing. She sighs quietly, all concetration on the swinging of her legs under and in front of the table
Cipri shakes his head at Keris, "Sorry. Such things require turns and turns of preparation. No", he says dramatically, "you have to start that as Senior Apprentice, really. You're just toe late now". He pats Keris on his shoulder. "Sorry boy"
Carna looks over at Keris and Cipri and laughs, then turns her head to once again look at the ceiling.
Libby laughs slightly at the conversation that drifts over to her, especially as she's a senior right now.
Keris snorts, eyes dancing with laughter. "Well well, Journeyman Cipri, don't go setting off any bad examples now!" he says mock-sternly, nodding towards the nearest pair of seniors. "And well, who said I didn't?" he retorts then, winking slightly.
Carna sighs and stands, bending over backwards to stretch and crack her back. Then straightening she return to her seat.
Cipri nods, "Correct, correct. Aprrentices should not have relationships", he says a bit louder than normal, before he whispers at Keris, "Or at least make sure they don't get caught by a Master, eh?" Cip says. "So", he continues, how are you Apprentices enjoying the party so far?"
Keris bites back a grin, quickly drowning it in juice. Cipri is sent an amused look before the newly-promoted Journeyman turns to look at the others. "Yeah, they seem quiet, don't they?" he asks Cipri, winking. "Think we scared them off?"
Carna stands abruptly and heads for the door, "Good day, all."
Libby looks over "I'm not scared, sir! Just tired!" comes her dignified reply, legs no longer swinging out.
Keris chuckles at Libby. "Tired, at this time? Even though some people seem to think the opposite, there /is/ such a thing like working too hard. Don't you agree, Cipri?"
Carna turns to look behind her once more, then shakes her head and continues for the doorway.
Libby grins "With my concentration span at the moment, working /too/ hard is the least of my worries!" she replies, then quickly adds "Sir" to her statement
Cipri swallows his snack, and pulls a disgusted face. Not that he doesn't like the food, au contraire, it's perfect. "Please don't say that word, Keris, not while we're relaxing". He smiles at libby, and slowly raises an eyebrow, as he remembers why Lyana's resting, and he's tired aswell...
Keris chuckles. "Oh, sorry to intrude your state of eating, Cipri," he snickers, winking at Libby.
Carna walks with a smile and sparkling eyes to the Main Hall Balcony.
Libby notices the number of people decrease and wonder if maybe this is a private party, but then it's in the Vault so it can't be right? Still, her gaze flickers over the remaining faces
Keris picks up a bubbly pie. He almost forgot these! What a sin. "Libby, want one?" he offers, picking up another to reach out towards her.
Libby wrinkles her nose slightly "No thank you, sir. I've eaten already" she informs him, pouring herself another glass of juice and taking little sips.
Monty walks in from the Male Apprentice Quarters.
Keris shrugs and eats it himself then. "Su't y'rse'f," he mumbles around hot bubbly pie, waving a hand in front of his mouth to cool down the berry filling.
Libby sighs and looks over at the dorms "I think I'd better try and grab a nap," she tells no one in perticalar "Congratulations, Journeyman Keris" she says as she walks to the door
Keris grins. "Thank you, Libby, and sleep well."
Libby walks to the Female Apprentice Quarters.
Shoobie bursts forth from the darkness of ::between::, still a blazing brass spark.
Keris watches the remaining Apprentices shuffle together in a corner, hig glass of juice quickly being emptied. "So, Cipri, I haven't tasted the good wine they have around here for a long time. Happen to know where I could get a glass or two?"
Cipri hmms, and smiles, "Yeah, it seems a little dead here, doesn't it", he says looking at the rather empty room. Just two talking appies, and a sleeping one... "Well, you didn't have any here eh? Guess we could pay a visit to the Harper in Gar? They often have wine there", he grins.
Keris chuckles. "Nah, didn't think it's be wise serving wine to them," he states, nodding towards the Apprentices. "'m sure you remember how hard it was attending classes with a headache... oh of course, the Harper! Let's go there."
The Happy Harper
You find yourself in the well-lit Happy Harper. It seems to be perhaps one of the most cared for items of the hold. The walls have deep-red wood panelling, and glow baskets placed at a very regular interval. There are about six tables for eight and four booths in the corners. All the tables and chairs seem to be of a very nice quality and very well taken care of. Serving also as the center of social interaction at Gar hold, it is usually where one looks to find anyone.
OOC note: If you wish for a list of the offered drinks here, merely type 'listdrink' and it will show you how to find them. :)
On the perch are Trickster, Lacerta, Bruin, Dusty, Cute One, Rya, Brisbe, Vigilant, Hawk, and Chuckles.
You see Firelizard Feeding Tray, Dartboard, Dragon Deck, Wine Tray, Bubblies, and sketch here.
You notice Myan, Kavell, Serah, Caelan, Phalan, Falinor, Caroban, and Maryan asleep here.
Obvious exits:
Kitchen Entry Hall
Cipri walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Cipri looks around in the harper, and hmm, "No-one here I see." He smiles, remembering the many long fun nights spend in this room. "Think anyone'd mind if we just got a bottle from somewhere", he asks, looking 'hind the bar seeing all still in the same place as it used to be.
Keris scratches blonde locks for a moment. "Naw, we c'n always pay later," he decides, walking to the bar. "I think I'll take some red..."
Cipri nods. "Okay. Now let's see. Red, red... here's a good one", he says, reaching at the sack under the counter and way in the back, and he holds it up. "Old Tillekian Red. Best on pern, they say!"
Keris grins. "They?" he wonders, nodding. "Sure, let's take it. Now where's Lei when you need her," he mumbles, reaching across the bar to get some glasses.
Cipri shrugs lightly. "I ain't a wine expert. They always say it's the best.", he explains as he sinks into on of the far booths, "Who's Lei", he asks, "She the barkeep 'roud here eh?".
Keris snickers. "Probably the most expensive too, then," he comments, nodding. "Yup, she is. Very nice. You never met her?"
Cipri shrugs, at the expensive part, and shakes, "Nah, haven't been here for a long time, to tell the truth. I remember Casch, and 'fore that, it was often empty..."
Keris nods. "Empty, doesn't sound good," he chuckles. "Oh, I thought everyone knew 'bout her. She lost her hearing during a fever," he explains, frowning slightly.
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Lilinia walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Carna nods at Lilinia, then stops short as she sees Keris. "Ummm.... perhaps we should go somewhere else, Lili....."
Lilinia bites on her lip, hoping she isn't killed and nods, "Yes... let's do."
Carna bows deeply at the two Journeymen and stands, turning to head for the door. "Hmmmm......"
Cipri nods softly, and then smiles. "Ah yes, I think I met her once, briefly. She was here one day. Poor girl." he looks at the wine skin, and grins. "Well, get your glass Keris", he says, so fixed on the wine he notices nothing...
Carna says, "How about Crystal Bridge, Lili?"
Lilinia smiles and tries to look as innocent as possible...
Lilinia nods at Carna and walks out, hoping they are drunk enough not to notice anything...
Lilinia walks to the Entry Hall.
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes to the Entry Hall.
Keris smirks slightly. "Just don't call her poor to her face," he warns, getting a hold of his glass, "tempered lady, that one. Oh, and don't call her barmaid either," he grins.
Cipri slowly fills Keris' glass with the wine, and fills a smaller one for himself. With a grin on his face, Cipri questions softly, "Seems like you got to know her pretty well Ker?". He pushes the glass towards Keris, and raises his own. "A toast on.. Women?", he asks smiling
Keris grimaces. "Very well," he nods, not really indicating if it's a bad thing or not. "Hmm, yes, to women. How pesky they might be, we still need 'em," he grins, raising his glass.
"Well I don't know 'bout the first, but the second part's true yeah", Cipri says with a smile on his face, thinking back at last night. or last week. Or actually what, last half a turn already... "And to the Jmanship. Without which women wouldn't be as much fun", he concludes with a wink.
Keris giggles and clinks his glass on Cipri's. "True, true." He pauses to sip. "Mm, excellent wine! Although, I do get a certain pleasure from doing the forbidden," he continues, winking.
Cipri sniffs his wine, and sips it aswell. "Oh yeah, sure can be", he says, glancing to the small booth quite hidden in the corner, "Like I said before, They can't nail you if they don't know."
Keris grins. "Nah, but then again, I wouldn't encourage any Appies to do it. Almost went wrong for me," he says, staring into his glass for a few moments.
"Just get a good excuse and a good place". You can teach your sister 'bout the stars, no? He grins, "Oh? What happened", he asks eagerly. Always fun to hear 'bout others misfortune.
Keris grimaces. "Ah, 'tis a long story." Another sip is taken. "Let's just say I was lucky about one of the postings to Paradise."
Cipri thinks for a few seconds, then /sloooowly/ raises his eyebrow. "Master Jordana?", he asks stunned. That's the only one he knows that's posted there. He sips his wine to wash it away, and shakes, "You didn't did you?"
Wine threatens to come flying out of Keris' mouth as the StarCrafter starts coughing. "Faranth, no!" he finally manages to say, chuckling. "One of the Apprentices posted there! Well she was more taking a break than being mentored I guess..."
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Indrah rolls in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Cipri laughs, and shakes his head. "Ah, was worried there for a while. It's better", he says holding his wine in mid air, eyes a bit distanct, "No, it's a rule, apprentices should not make out with Masters... Or Jmen either. But,", he says, suddenly pouring the rest of his glass trough his throat, "rules are there to be broken!", he claims, and Faranth knows he did!
Keris downs the rest of his wine, holding out the glass towards Cipri. "Cheers on that," he exclaims, grinning. He doesn't even notice the others walking in, so intent is he on drinking.
Carna stands and walks over to Cipri and Keris. "With all do respect, Sirs. That's almost giving an apprentice permission....." Then eyeing Keris, she turns to walk back to the table.
Indrah bounds in and flops into a chair. "Hiya..." she puffs, before snatching some redfruit juice.
Indrah releases Melchiah, who launches into the air.
Indrah releases Mew, who launches into the air.
Carna smirks slightly and walks over to Indrah. "I just heard that the rules were made to be broken, Indrah...."
Indrah raises an eyebrow. "What?" she giggles.
Carna nods. "Aye, heard Journeyman Cipri say it himself...."
Cipri's head flies back almost half a feet in surprise. "No they're not", he says, trying to climb of his chair, waggling like a duck, "Theiss heej to keep you learnin!", he says, head almost spinning on his neck.
Carna turns her head to him. "I can quote you...."
Indrah remembers and mumbles a bit of a song she'd heard Kurt sing. "Words are lies the day they're spoken. promises a lifetime's only token...words are lies the day they're spoken...promises are made to be broken..."
Keris splutters with laughter as he watches Cipri, pouring a glass of wine for himself as the other Journeyman seems to be busy trying to stand upright. "Is that so, Journeyman S-s-cipri," he giggles, trying to actually hit his mouth with the glass.
Carna shoots an angry glance at Keris, then turns her eyes back to Cipri. "Would you like me to quote you, Journeyman Cipri?"
Indrah gulps and stares at her juice. Apparently she's walked into something.
Carna says, "Think I should quote him, Indrah?"
Indrah looks over at Carna, then to the higher craftsmen, and sinks down in her seat. She might like to run off every once in a while, but insubordination isn't her style. "Ummm...."
Carna laughs softly. "I think I"ll do just that..."
Cipri takes a small step towards Carna, almost threathning to fall over the moment his feet lifts off the ground. A hand shoots out to hold, to stabilize its owner, and quickly lands on Keris' head, leaning heavily on it, and he eyes Carna. "kwooott?", he asks, "Ye ke kwoo me, I never Ceed Aneting in me live!", he stumbels with his double tongue,, last words are emphazed with a swing of his other arm, which makes him dangerously stumble.
OOC: Carna says "What was that again?"
Indrah hops to her feet, offering as much support as a 3 foot 7 inch tall person can. "Ummm maybe you should sit down." she says, hoping he doesn't barf on her.
OOC: Cipri grins. `quote? You can't quote me, I never said ANYTHING in my live!`
"Hpf, not w'n 'm drink'n," comes the muffled protest from Keris, who can't tilt his head back far enough to get the last wine from his glass. "Journeysan Mipri, you're /drunk/," he says accusingly, pointing at Cipri with his glass. "And I don't have more wine..."
Carna says, "Oh yes I can......"
Gunwalloe springs from ::between:: looking around for excitement.
Cipri takes the glass from Keris' hand, thinking he's offering him a drink. He drinks the air in it, them looks in it, holding the glass upside down 'bove his eyes. "'ss 'empy!", he accuses Keris, putting the glass back on the table. Well, on it if that table was a feet higher. "I ssal Dee. Dee. Deenay is!". he says as he turns back to Carna!
Carna says, "It's a rule, apprentices should not make out with masters..... or Journeyman. But, rules are there to be broken. And I quote."
OOC: Carna laughs. What are you saying?
OOC: Cipri says "I shall denie it! ;)"
Keris blinks as his glass suddenly disappears from thin air. Blonde head goes forward, trying to locate the glass. Hmm, nowhere. "Sss-s-cipri, my glass went ::between::," he hiccups, snatching Cipri's glass instead. "I'll jis take 's 'un 'stead then.." But pouring doesn't really work, and half the wine ends up on the floor. "Whoooooops!" The 'Crafter breaks into giggles. "It.. it.. schpilled on the floor," he tries to explain, pulling at Cipri's arm.
Carna turns back to Indrah. "Thank I should repeat myself?"
Adar walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Indrah shakes her head and retreats to her seat, climbing up and hiding in the corner, away from all this.
Adar waves enthusiastically to the other Starcrafters. "Evening, all!"
Adar (#11465)
female HRW StarCraft Journeyman
Looking at Adar, you see a young woman of small and slender build, but with no air of delicacy or fragility. Her green-grey eyes have a hint of laughter lurking in their depths, and they crinkle at the corners when she smiles, which is often. Adar's curly brown hair has been recently cut short, only a few fingerlengths long, and she often attempts to brush back hair that isn't there any more. Her skin seems to be almost permanently tanned a light brown, evidence of her having lived in warm climates like Igen and Ista most of her life.
Light sisal fabric, dyed a deep blue, drapes around Adar's shoulders in the neat folds of a vee-necked tunic. The neck is unlaced and a loosely woven linen top in contrasting yellow can be seen underneath. Close-woven grey pants reach the floor, almost covering the heavy wherhide sandals on her feet.
The knot of a StarCraft journeyman rests on Adar's shoulder: two cords, one red, one white, have been looped once and braided into a long tail, bound at the end with a metallic silver cord.
Known as: Adar, brainiac, Canadian_sex_symbol, bluenose, not-quite-'Radar', Krycek-fan, ancelstierre, Areiah's_Long_Lost_dbref_Sibling, Iggy, bunny_with_sharp_pointy_teeth_nyah_nyah!, rock-freak, Darth_Adar, 27, and twenty-seven
IC Age: 26 Turns, 3 months, and 19 days
Carna says, "If need be I really will repeat your words again, Journeyman Cipri....""
As the glass lands on the table, Cipri turns to Keris. "Sso di my wine," he says confused like Keris. Looking down, head spinning from the wine. "Ssspick't up! Kwik or tis gown!" His eyes spot Adar, and he yells a welcome. "Aaa'arr!". He twists Keris' head to her, not seeing the glass of wine going to Keris' mouth in time.
Adar claps her free hand to her mouth, trying to hold in the laughter that threatens at seeing Cipri... uh... slightly inebriated. Laugh stifled, she removes her hand and grins. "So how's everyone this evening?"
And so the glass ends up somewhere on Keris' cheek instead as his head is twisted around. "Ohh, lookit Sss-c-cipri, it's Adar!" he giggles, as if Cipri hadn't just made him aware of the same thing. "Why aren't you at Ras... Reasss.. Reaschches?" is asked then, 'Crafter quickly standing up, giving Cipri a good push on the way towards Adar.
Carna laughs softly. "A drunk Journeyman... that also said rules are there to be broken.... that's just too amusing...."
Shava walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Adar gently sets down the Mysterious Mr. X Egg.
Adar grins as she puts the egg down softly next to the hearth and takes a seat next to it. So they're both completely drunk. This promises to be an.. interesting evening. "I'm back to get some more chart paper and 'viewer parts. Nice to see the hall's still in one piece." A wink accompanies the last remark.
Carna looks over to Keris. What do you think? Think I should tell her what he said?"
Carna says, "Exucse me, Journeywoman Adar?"
Cipri gets thrown back onto the bench he was sitting on a while ago. "Yee shooo be in tha reesjes, yes, Ada", he says, prodding a finger as if poking at her chest, even though she's meters away from him, something he doesn't see at the moment. Hands grab the table, and somehow find the wineskin on it, which is quickly pulled towards him, but alas, it's empty!
Adar looks over at Carna, grin still hovering around her mouth. "Yes?"
Carna says, "Can you tell me the reason for the Craft rules?"
Adar tilts her head to one side, considering the question. "Well... they're to promote good behaviour in apprentices and journeymen." She stresses the last two words and looks at the two journeyman in question, then grins. "But mostly we just don't want anyone getting into situations they can't handle before they're ready."
Keris finally reaches his goal for the moment, Adar, and throws his arms around the Journeywoman. "Adar! Scho good to scheee you! When're you goin' back to Re.. Ras.. when are you going back?" he decides to say instead. Less syllables. Lowering his voice to a confidential whisper, or so he thinks as it actually comes out quite loud, the Journeyman puts his mouth close to Adar's ear. "Sss-c-cipri is drunk, but don't tell'nyone!"
Aein skips happily in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Carna says, "but Journeyman Cipri said that the rules are there to be broken....."
Beware. 'tis Aein, slinking on the outskirts of a passing shadow - which obviously means she's been up to no good...again.
Gunwalloe suddenly disappears ::between::!
Adar raises an eyebrow at Keris and his arm, but leaves it there for the time being while she answers Carna. "Journeyman Cipri is just teasing, Carna... I wouldn't take anything he says right now very seriously."
Carna says, "But, he wasn't completely drunk when I over heard it, for he was still talking right. If this is what journeymen talk about when there are no apprentices about, and one over hears...Well, with all do respect ma'am, what are we supposed to think, and why do we get in trouble if we get caught doing what is expected of us....?"
OOC: Cipri tickles. iw as drunk already, just was talking normally for RP's sake
OOC: Carna arches an eyebrow..... ;)
OOC: Cipri was Semi-drunk. he could talk, ut wasn't clearminded et all. just bragging 'bout girls with keris;)
Cipri slides off the table, and lands on the floor with a big thud. Hands grabing at the wine on the floor, only spreading the mess around. He looks up, and sees someone walking towards them, "Aeeiain, Sat you?", he asks, leaning over to get a better look. "Aeyn, gemme some moo wiiine?", he pleads at the young girl.
Keris starts giggling again, obviously having seen something extremely - to him - funny. "C-carna, Sch-ss-cipri is drunk, can't lischten to what he schays," he explains then, swaying back and forth around Adar. "And Sch..." Hiccup. "Schipri never talks normal," he adds, having another fit of the giggles. Craning his head around, the 'Crafter tries to find Cipri. "Schripiri? Where are you? I want schmore wine..."
"Cipri!" Is shrieked at the top of Aein's shrill lungs, the only person with a face and a name she can put together. The girl, scrowling slightly, stalks over to her friend - promptly shoving a finger in his face and wagging it in a most disapproving way. "Nu uh. You're already drunk. And that's a bad thing."
Adar thinks for a moment before answering. "Unless another Journeyman or Master tells you the same thing when they're sober, ignore it. Noone is expecting you to break the rules." She shakes her head at Keris. "Great stars, you're drunk. Definitely no more wine. And Aein's not the barkeep anyway, Cipri."
Carna walks over to Keris, and says, "Don't you /dare/ tell me who to listen to and who not to listen to, Keris......" then turns, tears running down her eyes, and heads out.
"Kerryyyyyyyyy", Cipri returns the hail, not seeing Keris either, he's to high up. All he can see now, is that finger in his face, "OOOooooooooo", is heard, as his eyes try to follow the finger. As he falls back against the wall with his back, his eyes can focus on Aein. "Aaiiineeeee", he once again says, leaning forward again, lips strut out, "Giemme a kissy? Pwease?", he asks her, blowing a huge cloud of alcohol over the little girl.
Carna turns back to Keris and says, "Kortin was right... it hurts alot less if you keep to yourself..." then turns and walks out the door
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes to the Entry Hall.
Monty walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Keris spends a few minutes trying to find a really clever retort to Carna, then discovers that she left. Shrugging, he turns around, finally letting go of Adar as he heads towards Cipri instead. "Schipriiii, sche schays no more wine," he complaints, half-sitting, half-falling down next to the other Journeyman. "Don't kisch him," he tells Aein, "'cus he's drank.. I mean, he drunk too musch wine!"
Aein guffaws, stumbling a few precious steps backwards - blinking in a semi-stunned fashion. "Shells, you smell worse then... a rotting wherry, Cipri. I don't kiss drunks, anyways." Arms fold over her chest, this addressed to both Keris *and* Cipri.
Katran walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Adar shakes her head at the two journeymen, and stretches out in her seat, somewhat relieved to no longer have a drunk Keris draped all over her. "You two are going to be so ill tomorrow..."
Kortin strolls in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Cipri raises his hands in a desperate figure, "Wyy woon dee give us wiine!", he yells, turning to the new apprentices entering. "Sjoe!", he says, pointing to Katran, "Ge us som wiine, appentis. Ow else...". That wasn't a threat, he just can't think of anything to threathen with
Aein turns to Adar, brows scrunched in a thoughtful look before she states most matter-of-factly, "Maybe we could drag them outside and dunk them in the pond." She's not terribly certain what this'll accomplish, other then sounding fun - in theory?
Kortin might as well roll the case he carries before him as it drags down his whole body and he's slouched over. "Don't tell me you've drunk yourselves silly already!" he cries when he spots Cipri and Keris, "I've brought some Tillek wine!" He mumbles to himself a few things around "sober" and "putrid"
"Adar, Adar, c'mere!" The enthusiastic call comes from, tada, Keris, the 'Crafter waving wildly. "You have to look after Schpiri and I'll get s'm wine..." he burbles, using Cipri's head for leverage as he stands and sways towards the bar. "Lescheee.... here's schome red.. schome Tillek red!" The bottle is opened and, not caring to search around for glasses, being lifted to Keris' mouth. "Sch'good," he declares, leaning heavily against the bar.
Katran looks startled when he walks in, and hearing Cipri yelling drunkenly doesn't make him feel any more comfortable.
Talerna trots quietly in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Katran shakes his head at the incapacitance present in the room. "Good grief," he mutters as he makes his way to the bar for glass of juice...
Adar lunges towards the bar where Keris appears to be swaying unsteadily - the last thing she needs to end up with is Keris completely falling-down drunk... "C'mon, sit down with that." She wraps her foot around a chair and tugs a chair towards the two of them, prodding Keris towards it.
Monty walks in and notices the people and sits next to Keris, "You going to be ok?"
"Kerry", Cipri pleads, as his head starts nodding involuntarily. "Gimme so Tiiheee wiijn", he begs, holding out his arms. Katran's ignored, he doesn't give him wine, but Kortin? Kortin's tha man, he brought the wine!
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Katran takes a sip of juice when he receives it, and turns around to examine the room's occupants. Most seem to be inebriated...the other half getting that way.
Keris giggles uncontrollably, trying to shake off Adar's hand. "Lookit, my two menteesch," he exclaims, trying to look at both Katran and Monty at once. Eyening Katran's juice though, the Journeyman quickly tips the wine bottle upside down over the glass, trying to aim corectly. "Jusche's boring! Schrippi, I've schome here!" he cries out, even though Cipri's just three feet away, and waves the bottle around in the air, wine staining random places. "But there'sch not 'nuff for usch both..."
Indrah sighs and shuffles to the counter, climbing up onto a stool, claiming more juice.
Carna walks over and takes a seat at a near by table, making sure to stay well away from /all/ the Journeymen.
Kortin musters all his strength and hefts the case over his head. "Where's the journeymen! They get a bottle'a piece!" He lowers the case now and opens the case wide open, revealing the last eight bottles of his Tillek wine. "Come now! This cost me a good fair of marks!"
Aein stuffs her hands in her pockets, mumbling something as Adar drifts off - her only counterpart in the whole drunken, foul smelling lot. Sighing, she scrambles 'atop a barstool; she might as well get a decent seat...watching the 'crafters make fools of themselves isn't something one sees everyday.
Katran lifts his juice, and sips again. Hmmm...has a slightly different taste to it. Oh, well, it's still drinkable.
Cipri crawls over to the bar, pulling himself up on some piece of wood that all but breaks off the wall. Stumbling to Kortin, he grabs the wine in one hand, a,d and the other's thrown around his neck in a hug, "Sjoe seeeftth me", he yells, planting a big kiss on Kortin's cheek, in thanks for the wine!
Carna laughs softly at Kortin and Cipri, glad to see her mentor feeling so good.
Aein snorts softly at Kortin, "You shouldn't give them more. They'll just puke it all back up /anyways/." But as Cipri's lips meet Kortin's cheek, she can't help but bite down on a slowly spreading -gasp- grin.
"Schippy, wait for me!" Keris suddenly spots Cipri walking somewhere near him, in a blur, but he sees it, and decides to follow. Well, he takes a few wrong turns, but ends up somewhere near Cipri and Kortin anyway. "Lookit Schrippy, it's Kortin!" he slurs, one arm going around Cipri's shoulder as he tries to look what Kortin brought with him. "You kissched him," he states then, almost choking on his giggles. "It looked funny.. do't again!"
Kortin all but falls over at the kiss and gives Cipri a clap on the back. "Control yourself man! I'm in the Hall remember, should Lyana find of this." He chuckles and grabs a bottle of wine, popping off the top and a bit of wine spilling out the top, "SHARDS! Spilled some of the fine Tillek wine. Any complaints from any of you and I'll have all ah Tillek hold on you!" He laughs heartily and takes a swig of the wine, "That's the stuff," he sighs. A smile grows on his face, "Haven't felt this good since, since my early apprentice days!" He glares quickly at Aein, but nothing more as he takes another swig.
Well, it's not like Aein's quite old enough for any un-drunk adult to give her any wine...and /someone's/ got to be the party pooper, right? "Apprentices ain't allowed to drink." She -politely- reminds Kortin. Really.
Carna walks over to stand by Aein and laughs softly, leaning over to whisper to her.
Cipri looks at Keris, and starts giggling aswell again, "Ai dis?", he asks slissing softly. The giggling increases, "Ai dis!", he exclaims, as he once again gives Kortin a kiss on the cheeck, "Si'll jus give ly a kisssie, and I's fiine!", he explains, after a few large gulps of the wine.
Aein tilts her head Carna's way, looking mildly surprised as she answers out loud, unhindered by the pair of ears that might be offended by their little conversation. "He's usually a grump, isn't he?"
Katran watches Cipri and Keris drunkenly rolling around, still drinking his juice slowly. Hmmm...he seems to feel slightly lightheaded...
Carna looks over to her mentor and giggles then turns back to Aein, whispering the answer to her.
Carna laughs and looks at Aein. "Last emotion I got from him was anger......"
Aein purses her lips, "I don't see why you can't say that. It's not like he's going to remember anything /anyways/." As Adar wakes up, the girl instantly turns her head to whine - "Adar, Kortin is giving them more wine."
Keris coughs, grabbing his previously abandoned bottle of wine. Yup, helps on the coughing, definitely. "I'll tell..." He stares at Cipri, eyes rolling slightly as he tries to remember what the name of Cipri's lover is again. "I'll tell 'er you did't," he finally says, once again starting in on his giggling. "I.. I..." Suddenly letting go of Cipri, Keris walks towards Adar, a trifle unsteadily, but what. "I wanna kisch too!" he declares, giving Adar what should be a charming smile but ends up being a grimace as he tries not to giggle or drool at the same time.
Kortin bats idly at Cipri's face, "S'nough kissing me Cip! Let me enjoy /my/ wine, or you won't get anymore." He runs his hand down his face to wipe off the kiss, "Just wait till I tell Ly and you'll get 'n trouble Cip!" His voice does seem to lean toward a Tillekian accent, but not all that much. He takes yet another swig of the wine. He grabs two more bottles of wine and tucks them under his arm. He shakes his head, "I prefer to get drunk in private if you don't mind! I shall be in the, the guest room, since my room is probably gone now..." He trails off and leaves behind five bottles of Tillek wine as he walks out.
Kortin strolls to the Entry Hall.
Carna laughs and nods at Aein. "Very true...." then walks over to Kortin, looking at him a moment before laughing and returning to Aein.
Malla walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Malla waves, "Hi everyone!
Adar shakes her head as she wakes up out of a light doze, only to see Keris leering at her. At his request for a kiss, she chuckles, but not meanly. "I'd rather not get drooled on, Keris... perhaps when you're sober."
Malla releases Spikytail, who launches into the air and begins to circle before landing.
Cipri almost falls over as Kortin, the one thing he could build, er, lean on, is suddenly gone. But he left Wine! "Byyyy!", he yells after him, and turns to the wine. "Sis fo me!", he says as he claims two of the bottles. The third bottle is pushed off the bar into the big tub of water kept ther,e where it floats gently. "das fo Natsieee!", he explains, as he drinks from his own bottle again, spilling it all over his clothes.
Keris frowns, brain trying to comprehend what Adar just said. "Iw'nt drool on you," he assures, swaying back and forth over her, "I 'jis wanna schmall kisch! Not from Schrippy, 'cause he j's kischsed Kortin, but you're scho beautiful!" After that long speech, a few sips from the bottle is needed. "Want schome?" he offers generously, extending a shaky hand and bottle towards Adar.
Giggling, Aein leans over Adar-ishways. "I think you shoulda kissed him. He's /cute/ - even if he is drunk." The last note ending on a distainful one.
Carna walks over to Keris and taps him on the shoulder. "You're drunk, Keris......"
Malla walks over to the bar and pours herself a mug of klah. She sips at her klah as she finds an empty chair to sit in.
Carna sits down beside Keris and looks up at him, having never seen him like this before, she finds it absolutely hilarious!
Roly Poly glides in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Katran finishes his juice, and wondering why he can't think properly, he leaves the Happy Harper for some fresh air...and a lie down.
Katran walks to the Entry Hall.
Adar leans forward slightly to catch Aein's comment, then grins. "You're right, he is sort of cute..." She turns back to Keris. "Well - all right. If you insist, a sip of wine, for now."
Roly Poly glids in and lands on the arm of Malla's chair, and chirps.
Drallo walks quietly in, and nods hello to everyone he sees. in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Drallo walks to the bar and grabs a mug of klah, and sits next to Malla.
Drallo waves hello to Indrah, from across the room.
Keris points a finger at Carna. "'m not drunk, I o'ly hadda few glassches," he claims, "but Schhip... Schrippy is drunk! He'sch..." Hearing Adar speak though, he momentarily forgets about Carna - not that he could remember what she said anyway. "Oooooh, Schip-schippy, Adar wantscha kisch!" he yells, loud enough for people in the courtyard to hear. Wine is momentarily forgotten as the Journeyman leans forward, places his hands on Adar's shoulders and aims at smooch at her. Fortuantely - for Adar - he misses his aim and ends up smooching around her cheek for awhile.
Lilinia walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Lilinia walks in, looking for someone to talk to, "Hiyas. What's up guys?"
Drallo hears the loud voice, and looks around trying to figure out where it came from.
Carna stands and runs over to hug Lilinia. "Almost all the Jmen are drunk, Lili!!"
Lilinia gets all wide-eyed and happy, "Really? I should start asking favors! Woohoo!"
Cipri starts giggling again, and claps his hands for Keris. "Jeeeeeeeeaajjj!", he cheers, "He kisst ‘er!". He pushes himself away from the bar he was leaning against, two bottles hold closely to him, as he waddles to her. "Gejjer wiine", he says, patting Keris on the back, "Iij wanna kiss too!", he says to Adar, as he closes his eys, and holds his lips forward, hoping she'll give him one
Indrah sniggers. "Convince them we're senior apprentices."
Malla puts a hand on Drallo's arm, saying "It's only Keris, he's a Journeyman.
Carna laughs. "Or we could try to convince them of something else.....
Aein promptly gags at the sight of Keris smooching Adar like that, and, taking care that there isn't anything else drunk lying underneath the path of her feet, slips off the barstool and onto the floor. And seeing that Cipri has taken an interest in Adar as well, the girl sulks towards the door - a-h, lightheaded perhaps.
Aein skips happily to the Entry Hall.
Lilinia goes wide-eyed at Carna, "You can, but I'm sure not!"
Shoobie bursts forth from the darkness of ::between::, still a blazing brass spark.
Adar looks more than a little surprised as Keris leans towards her and kisses her damply on the cheek. Her face and neck flush a deep red as she steps away from him, but props him up with a hand on his shoulder. "Give me that, Cipri." She sets a clean glass on the table in front of her and holds out a hand for one of his wine bottles, then shakes her head at his request for a kiss. "No. Lyana would kill me."
Lilinia skips up to Cipri a big smile on her face, hands behind her back, "Oh Cipri, my favoritest mentor, could I ask a big favor? Would you let me go to Ista Hold?"
Rishandra snugs Keris! Keris sighs delightedly and snuggles closer to you. Keep the snugs coming, Rishandra!
Cipri says, "Leeeeeee's okaaay, she sleeeeeeeps. PWeeeeaaaassss?"
Indrah nodnods "Me too, me too."
Roly Poly gives a quiet chirp <Hello>, to the newcomer.
Carna laughs and sits down by Indrah. "Wow! Lili..." then thinks a moment. "I still miss him, Lil.....ah well." laughing she says, "Ista sounds good."
Keris pulls back from Adar, complete with a smooching sound and all, and eyes Cipri. "You can't kisch me, you juscht kissched Kortin!" he states, giving Cipri what was meant to be a light poke on the shoulder, but ends up being a rather forcefully shove in the chest. "You schouldn't kischsc Adar, I'll tell Riina!" Ok, so he has 'em mixed up a little...
Shoobie sniffsniffs delicately in Roly Poly's direction, her vapid span of attention quickly drawn to the /loud/ people in the bar. And those nice meatrolls over there...
Carna laughs and stands walking over to the furthest table in the dark, and takes a seat, suddenly feeling anything but happy, yet she won't ruin her friends fun.
Cipri stumbles back a few steps, and looks at the pleading appies 'round him, "Syou can go cweeaan de Bathhh 'ouse iijn thee". he stops, forgetting where the bath house's located, "In tha wee", he says, pointint towards the hall, the opposite direction of Ista.
Adar rolls her eyes at Cipri. "No, I won't kiss you." She bats at Keris's arm, but misses. "Don't, you'll knock him or yourself over." Both eyebrows on Adar's forehead go up at Cipri's next words, and she grins. "That didn't make any sense at all, you know..."
Lilinia tries to comprehend what Cipri is saying, and looks back at Indrah for help...
Malla digs in her bag and produces a meatroll, tossing it into the air, says "Roly!"
Roly Poly quickly takes to the air after the meatroll. And catches it in his claw. Then, lands and begins to eat it.
Carna lays her head down on her arms, and closes her eyes.
Keris tries to decide between pouting at Adar and sipping from the winebottle. Tough choice. So he does both, and ends up with wine down his shirt. "Schippy, the'sch wine'n my sch... sche.. there," he whines, stumbling towards Cipri with one hand pointing at his chest. "Sch'thisch Tillek red, ma'esch me schpill!"
Garak gets poked by his drunk 'pet, who sends him some drunk request. "Sjoowem what they go clean!!", he says, closing his eyes focusing on the image of the Bath house in the gardens of the Starhall.
Etoile> Images from Garak suggest: << Clean Bath house! >>
Indrah scratches her head. "So if we clean the baths we can go to Ista?" she squeaks.
Carna walks in with a smiles and sparkling eyes to the Entry Hall.
Malla digs in her bag and finds another meatroll, then throws it into the air, "Spiky!"
Spikytail takes off after it, but is unable to catch it. When it hits the floor, he quickly lands on it and begins to eat it.
Adar sighs in mock annoyance as Keris is off again, and pushes a chair after him, making sure he has something to fall into, in case he finally topples over. "Keris, sit before you fall..." She fills her mug with wine from an abandoned skin, and takes a sip, wetting her throat. "Shells. This is excellent wine."
Keris wags a finger at Indrah. "Nonononono, you can't go to Ischta! You havta clean the libr'ry," comes the slurring words, the Journeyman's eyelids starting to droop. "Right, Sss-schippy??" Wine bottle is offered to Cipri - aww, isn't Keris just the generous one? Or did he just drool enough for his own taste. "I don't wanna schit, A.. A.. you," he states, grinning like a moron towards Adar. "Only if'n you gimme 'nother kisch..!"
Lilinia hmms and looks at Indrah, "I wonder if we just say to Rosuma, or Jorina, or Lyana that we thought they said we could go, it would count?"
Adar grins at Lilinia, overhearing her comment. "It might, but there is still a sober journeyman here..."
Ceinwen blinks in from ::between::!
Drallo finishes his klah, and walks to the bar looking for something stronger to drink.
Lilinia sighs and gives her innocent puppy look, "Erm.... Journeywoman Adar? Would you like me to pour you a glass of wine?"
"Yessss", Cipri slisses. "Cwean the liiebawy.. Clean the Wooool hawll!". once again emphazing it with a wave of his arm, which hits Keris' bottle. "Kerryyyyyyyyy", he yells to the person not a feet away, as he grabs the bottle, "Look, it came fom :::Betweejn:::!". He's in heaven again...
Lilinia looks at the different types of liquor on the list and wonders what would get her really drunk... "How bout a nice glass of vodka?"
Adar rolls her eyes at Keris. "A kiss for you to sit down? Fine." She leans over and gives him a small kiss on the cheek. "There. Now sit." Her face once again flames red, but at least maybe now he'll sit down and not endanger himself and those about him anymore.
Drallo looks behind the bar, and finds a half empty bottle of wine. Though he's not sure what kind, because the lable is missing, he fills his mug. And yells to Malla "You want some?"
Malla shakes her head and raises her full mug of klah.
Adar finally processes Lilinia's offer about wine, and shakes her head. "No thank you - what I've got is fine." She frowns slightly, mock-severe. "And no, I won't be getting drunk enough to let you go and forget about it."
"Schippy, t'was mine..." The complaint dies on Keris' lips as Adar suddenly obliges his kissing desires. "Schippy, didja schee, 'dar kissched me 'gain!" The Journeyman practically beams, plopping into a chair where he just keeps staring adoringly at Adar.
Lilinia sniffs and looks at Indrah, "Well... We tried. Lets go and look at Grinstead. Or something."
Cipri looks down at Keris in his chair, as he turns to Adar, holding wine bottles in both hands. "Aaa-aarrr, I standing tooohoo. Ie wanna kiss from Leeeeeaaaannnaaaaaaa", he cries, almost like a little kid who got socks instaed of what he wants for Christmas.
Indrah grumbles and nods.
Lilinia sniffs, "Go figure. They never want us to have any fun. Shoulda joined the Harper Hall or something. They get to do lots of cool stuff."
"Schut up, Schippy!" Keris sways around in his chair, a miracle the legs aren't breaking, trying to scowl at Cipri. He ends up grinning like an idiot though, like he has for the past hours. "Sche's upschtairsch! Youc'n jis go'p 'n kisch her!"
Adar shakes her head, grinning slightly. "Then go find her, Cipri. Although I bet she'd make you sober up, first." And that doesn't seem likely at the moment. She stands from her chair next to Keris. "I should be going... I'm here for a night and then back to the Reaches. I expect I'll see you both ill tomorrow."
Adar drinks the last of her wine and grins as she leaves the Harper. "G'night, all... Try not to get too much drunker." The last to Cipri and Keris.
Adar walks to the Entry Hall.
Lilinia decides to leave cause she thinks maybe there's something more interesting to do around the hold... like make her cot or something...
Lilinia walks to the Entry Hall.
Cipri's neck seems to twist as his head falls back in his neck, looking up at the ceiling, "Leeeeeeee", he yells, "You theeeeheeeeer". His hand drops the half empty bottle of wine ontot the chair, letting it drip onto the floor making another wet spot on it.
Keris decides to help Cipri out. Afterall, anyone can see how drunk Cipri is! Some sober person has to tell him how it works. "Sche's outside!" he says, waving a hand in some direction. "You've ta go outschide!"
Stopping from her evisceration of a meatroll, Shoobie now looks over at the source of a new scent. Her claws drip meatroll bits as she flaps over to Cipri's table. Sniffsniff. A delicate gold nose pokes at the winebottle.
Roly Poly watches the gold fly over to the table, then follows her. Wanting to know what that smell is, too.
Indrah rolls to the Entry Hall.
Cipri grabs the nearest filled bottle he sees, and tucks on Keris' shirt. "I miss Leeee, where is sheeee". Pushing off from the wall he was leaning against, he stumbles twoards the entrance, almost falling on the huge wine strains on the floor, continuously yelling, "LYyyy, Wer aaare yoouuu""
Keris stumble-sways after Cipri. "Schippyyyyy! Wait f'me!" he cries out, grabbing a few winebottles before heading out. First things first.
Shoobie lets out a shrill chirp, backwinging into the air at Cipri's wail. Loud. Just as suddenly, her nose is back at the winebottle, this time trying to force its way into the mouth.
Cipri says, "Where is she Kerryyyyyyyy, help meeeeeeee""
Cipri walks to the Entry Hall.
Keris tucks at Cipri's sleeve. "Thischere way!" They'll probably end up in Tillek, but oh well...
You go to the Gar Hold Entry Hall.
Gar Hold Entry Hall
The Entry Hall of Gar Hold is roughly octagonal in shape. Eight doors lead out of it, one is the one you just entered from. The first thing you notice is the mural painted on the walls. It seems to be a panoramic depiction of a orchard in the spring. The artist took their time as everything is at nearly life size. Lining the sides of the Hall are padded stone benches, that seem to flow freely into the mural. Posted over the Door to the Holder's Office is the Hold Crest, A shield of Forest Green with a solitary Blue band placed diagonal across the shield. While the center of all movement in Gar Hold, it still remains a pleasant place to stop and talk anytime with friends, and enjoy the mural.
To the southeast, you see four people.
On the perch are Cyning and Gamma.
You see Steel, Diamond, Wynd, Ivory, a Display Case, and Tapestry here.
Cipri and Malla are here.

The Main Hall is lined with 'Portraits' of the past and current Holders and a large tapestry entitled The Watchdragon (look tapestry). The Hall itself is painted in a pleasant forest green, the primary color of the Hold, with a Dark Blue strip running about three feet off the ground along the sides of the Hall. A couple of sofas are situated here next to the doors for the Steward's Office and the Holder's Office, so that one can rest comfortable while waiting.
To the east, you see two people.

You go to the Workroom.
Workroom
Off the main hallway, the workroom glows with both light and activity. Several trestle tables, set up in parallel lines allow for all sorts of tasks: at one, wooden pieces sit in disarray, waiting to be assembled. At another supplies sit waiting for a new project. Off to the left is a cluster of chairs, each with a brightly colored pillow. If needlepoint or weaving is your desire, another corner hosts a small floor loom and chest of threads. On the right lies another table, this time with juices and glasses to reward hard work well done. At times, children play happily nearby, pulling toys from an oversized trunk. The black and white marble used to create a checkerboard pattern on the floor has been highly polished recently. The windows near the ceiling bring in filtered light and help vent the room to keep it cool, even in the heat of Ista's summers. Popular as a meeting place for both the young and young at heart, you'll always find something to do - it is, after all, a workroom.
On the perch is Verlege.

The vaulted Great Hall of StarCraft possesses a grandeur that belies its recent construction. Built to inspire the mind to look upward, smooth columns support the Gothic arches of the ceiling. The Hall runs on an East-West axis, with the heavy doors of the main office to the west. To the north and south other doors lead to various work areas. Staircases at the corners of the hall lead up to a balcony that wraps around the three sides of north, south, and west.

Journeymen and Master's Lounge
Scarlet chaise lounges line the walls of this room, each with a low table next to it for snacks or klah, even charts when one wishes to work. In the center of the room is a larger hardwood table, surrounded by a few armchairs, for more work or conferences between the journeymen and masters. Braided rugs cover the floor, each one different though all are red, white, and grey in varying shades. Crimson geometric designs line the tops of the white walls near the ceiling, the shapes reminding one of stars and moons, as well as spirals. A tall cabinet stands against the wall between the doors to the two hallways, filled with foods brought up every day by the Garhold cook, as well as supplies of extra mugs, paper, styluses, and glow baskets.

Keris collapses on one of the couches, abruptly letting go of Cipri. "Schippy, we're hooome!"
Cipri stumbles and opens his arms, expecting Ly to autoamticly be where he can hug her. With a soft thud he falls head first onto one of the soft chairs, and instantly starts snoring

Subject: Hangovers? Who said hangovers?
It all started with a party. Keris, Journeyman StarCrafter, threw a small party in honor of his recent promotion and 20th Turnday. As the Apprentices started drifting off, Keris and fellow Journeyman Cipri decided that they were going to have some wine, so naturally, they ventured down to the Happy Harper.
All alone the two poor Jmen were, just them and a few last bottles of Tillek Red. And then, just as they were talking (ahem) Apprentices and Garish people started pouring in, and soon the Harper was filled with people. And Cipri and Keris became more and more drunk... it had to cause some trouble.
And it did! To summarize: There are at least 4 empty bottles of wine scattered in the Harper, a couple of broken glasses, a big stain of wine on the floor and other nice things... but that wasn't enough, oh no. Journeywoman Adar, usually at High Reaches, and Journeyman Kortin, usually at Tillek, were unfortunate enough to show up, and Kortin even brought with him a lot of Tillek wine. And while Keris was begging Adar for kisses (and he eventually got some, whee!), Cipri was just whining about wanting to get home to Lyana. And Cipri and Keris were whining at each other because they were running out of wine.
Eventually they left, Keris leading Cipri home to Lyana after taking a few wrong turns, but they made it - kinda. You can find them sleeping it out in the Journeymen and Masters' Lounge ;)
And of course there's a log! You want it, @send Keris with your e-mail address. And you might not have fun reading it, but I sure had fun adding to it! I've never before giggled for 6 hours straight ;)
