[Juuust a little note to Zaresto... That's not a pegasus XD That's a thestral, and he has numerous different, and publically obvious, features that identify him as such =3 and his voice is totally normal XD Just amplified into the normally audible spectrum by his necklet XD] Diamond Breaker actually stopped dead just as he heard the 'whistle' and what could only be interpreted as an innuendo directed at him... Slowly he turned his muzzle to glare at Thunder, gave a flick of his tail that produced a slight clank as a Ring of metal in his tail hit some of the armor on his leg, and gave the other stallion a teasing little 'smirk'... before immediately straightening back up and continuing up to the pair of 'business looking ponies' in the corner. There was a short bit of mumbling between the 2 that ammounted roughly to 'well, that one looks like he can take a beating.' and 'give him one of the traveling cloaks so he doesn't shine out every raider for a mile'... One of the pair tossed a large cloak towards Breaker, which was caught with a deceptively fast motion of his fore-leg "Here, with just a 'look' we can tell you'll at least be good for drawing fire, and you don't seem to be an irritating loud-mouth either... but you'll need to wear this so you're not a shining beacon of 'come kill us we have valuables' in the wasteland." He actually gave a quiet nod at that and set about spreading the cloak out and getting it over his back... luckily his armor was smooth instead of pointlessly spiky like 'some' ponies, and it didn't give him much trouble to slide it over... Though the cloak only went down to about his knees and the hood clung to the edges of his helmet to avoid falling down... one of them muttered a 'guess that'll have to do' and there were also a couple of relieved sighs else-where in the bar as suffers of hang-overs finally were rescued from the walking disco light... He just produced a little snort and trodded on around the table to take a seat along the wall just a bit down from the Thestral... However, when he plopped into his seat, his own impressive bulk, combined with the weight of a suit of metal armor, caused the chair in question to shatter like glass and scatter it's pieces allover the floor... while he just sat their calmly pretending it hadn't happened and just stared forward. _____________________________________________________________ The Recruiters also took notice of the Quiet little mare hiding under her cloak looking shy about approaching, and subsequently getting pushed about along with another potential candidate by some rude noisy mercenary with a mouth full of piss and questions and a brain full of nuts from the sound of it.... after a little 'telling him off' the also added on "we'd rather have someone a bit meek who can work with us than a noisy braggart who's going to end up causing trouble." Of course without missing a beat they turned their attention back to the one who'd been interupted "Now then, name and intention, Guard or passenger?" "The same is needed from everyone else too. A Sudden shout came from somewhere else in the bar... it was short, loud, and slurred "FLUBBERSHHHHHIIEESS ER TRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" The shouting pony in question promptly fell over in the floor immediately snoring drunkenly. _________________________________________________________________ The Previously mentioned thestral found it playfully intrigueing that someone else in the group was toying with matching his musical experimentation with their guitar, a teasing little grin crossing his muzzle as the individual broke into a totally different song. He took a deeper gulp from his cup before setting it aside and listening intently for a short while... Then when Thunder finished playing the song he broke out into song himself... though instead his voice or humming, a sound similar to a well tuned violen came out, said sound of an energetically played violen filling the bar's atmospher. It had a bit of playful irony playing that song using a 'fancy music instruments sound', but the notes rolled from his throat with disturbing musical accuracy despite clearly having no instrument present. ... All around the bar various patrons seemed compelled to tap their hooves or humm along... granted, a group that's half drunks and the rest half concious doesn't make for great back-up vocals, though his tune stayed at the top of the pile of noise... Once he finished the same song, he grinned playfully at Thunder...and missed not a beat in jumping right into another [url=http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dance-of-thorns]song![/url] A Very lively tune, One that seemed to utilize 2 instruments at once playing 2 different parts a guitar like rifting note, and the same violen from before adapting to play the new peppy tune, standing up in his seat as his body actually got to shifting and swaying into the energetic tune. It started nice and low and began to rise quickly, suddenly breaking into a frantic patterned Duet, continuing on down the line of the unknown song... one who paid attention to the patrons in the bar though, might notice that everyone was getting more... energetic... blood was warming, some that were tired began to feel more awake, some that were drunk started acting angry, it could possibly even put some pep in the step of some meek little personalities that were present... Then all of a sudden the Bartender shouted "SHUUUT UUUP!" And Chucked a Bottle of General Hard Cider at the singing Thestral... who proceeded to masterfully catch the neck of the bottle in his mouth without breaking it, snapping his head back a little and flopping back into his seat with a playful grin. He got the bottle into his hooves, popped the top, and took a deep swig from it before a hoof came up to click his necklet back into it's tighter position... a big grin crossing his muzzle as he spoke, his voice actually sounded just a bit posh with a hint of a melodic under-tone. "Heheh... Free booze, works almost everytime." The effects of his musical 'riot in the making' cooled down only slightly, averting a bar fight, but keeping the general 'heated' air to it. [Feel free to chatter amongst eachother after this one XD I'll post too still, but after a while I'll progress us to the next morning where we can actually get under-way =3]
