"My apologies for the term o' address, mister. But don'tcha think y'should at least 'ear what I got t'offer yer before y'go about judgin' it?" The old Zizz shuffled about in his seat, allowing himself to slouch as he drew on another piece of relaxation-gas. He'd need as much of it as he could if he was going to try and negotiate with this man. After all, the last time he got caught hunting on his grounds, he'd demolished a makeshift well with the corpse of a Cockatrice falling out of the sky. It was pretty funny, but apparently Felan didn't share his laughter. 'Humourless bastard.' "See... I understand that yer don't like me much, an' to be totally 'onest, I ain't entirely fond o' you, either." He stated matter-of-factly, unknowingly blowing some smoke into Felan's face in the process. "BUT... we both got somethin' t'gain 'ere. Y'see, when I was, uh, how y'say... bird-watchin' the other night, I noticed somethin' unusual in yer land. There was..." He sat up, beginning to use his clawed hands to describe the sheer scale of following creature. "...The biggest, blackest Wolf I ever saw, an' I been on this plane for over three-'undred years, so I seen a lot of 'em. I dunno 'bout you, but if I were in yer position, I wouldn't be entirely accommodatin' of such a specimen on m'land. Bad f'business, y'understand." The Zizz soon returned to his old slouch position, pointing at the Sheep-herder with his Pipe in an officious manner. "I ain't beatin' 'round the bush 'ere, mister. That beast is gonna turn yer pasture into an abattoir if it's left to it's own devices. I don't s'pose y'seen this Wolf 'round before, 'ave yer? 'Cause I'm willin' t'bet y'ain't, an' even if y'ad, well... no offence, but y'don't exactly strike me as the covert combat type. Wrestlin' or prize-fightin', maybe, but not covert combat. That is, 'less y'got a ranged weapon back at pasture. Like a Rifle." Indeed, he had taken the opportunity to look over the man as he was sitting there. Muscular, to be sure, but very much unarmoured and very much unarmed. Good for self-defence against, maybe, a Buzirik Beetle, but not so good for hunting down oversized Canids. Not that some people didn't try anyway, and hilariously fail. As he was looking over the man, he couldn't help but look past him briefly, witnessing some kind of commotion going on behind him. That crazy yet strangely admirable cat lady yelling at the silly bastard with the oversized pauldron. Probably deserved it, in all likelihood.
Someone should play some big strong dude, like a half-ogre or something, they could throw me like a spear at people xD
Funny you should mention that, I was thinking of a character like that myself. :P
Just posting to declare my interest for this RP idea. What sort of races are we talking about here? I have a thing for RPing as non-humans.
@Sessamaru Oh, I see. Yeah, that's quite close to how I read it, actually. Especially when he said 'kiddo'. :P On another note, I personally cannot wait to see how Rouen reacts to that special ale. I can't think of a single non-amusing result to come out of it.
Well, apparently this Justice fellow is an evil gunslinger, so I s'pose that makes sense. Can't say I'm familiar with the voice acting, though. I only remember Ron Perlman from Fallout.
@Metronome Rimau wasn't particularly surprised when Naida ignored his rambling requests; she was a busy lady, after all. It seemed like she had more important matters to attend to anyway; a new fellow at the door, for instance. Taking another puff of his Pipe to calm his nerves and stop any further rambling that morning, he turned his long, scaled neck back to observe the scene that went down at the door. The newcomer that Naida and the dog-eared man welcomed was a rather fancy-looking fellow, and not in a good way. With his ridiculous armour configuration and oversized sword, he just screamed 'compensating'. "Hmph, greedy bastard..." He mumbled to himself in stern disapproval. "...Look at 'at silly kid, with 'at huge sword an' even huger pauldron. What's the frickin' point of a pauldron if it only protects one arm? I bet all 'at weight is gonna break 'is flimsy arm, an' we can play a game o' swingball with it, heheh..." Rimau coughed a few times after that little chuckle at the newcomer's expense. He thought that perhaps he was being a little too harsh; after all, you can never judge a book by its cover, a philosophy Rimau often hoped his enemies were ignorant of. All the more amusing when their brains shot out the back of their heads. Twisting his neck and torso a bit further, he took another look at the Sheep-herder at the table some distance away, busy stuffing his mouth with steak; 'Steak, in the mornin'!' He thought to himself. 'What is the damn world comin' to? What sort o' testosterone poisonin' 'as consumed the people o' Ranaamar? Ale an' steak in the mornin', an' oversized pauldrons... no wonder my job's easy. At least the Tarzblik rebels 'ad the good sense to lay low an' all that.' Rimau took yet another puff to stop the internal ranting, and it hit him. The Sheep-herder; Felan, he believed he was called; seemed like a reasonable enough fellow under the right circumstances. Maybe he wasn't a fan of his control strategies, sure, but if he knew there was the biggest Wolf the world has ever seen on his land, maybe he'd reconsider his position. With this in mind, the old Zizz clambered down from his stool and, once again, manuevered through the crowds to the table at which the shirtless man sat. He couldn't help but admire his cleanliness, when you consider his decidedly unclean appearance. Another example of not judging books by covers. "'Ey, Mister Felan." He began to speak to him curtly, pulling up one of the empty chairs nearby. "Good to see yer 'ere this mornin'. 'Ow's things in the land o' the ol' Sheep? Pretty adventurous career, huh? Like, I bet they could write a good number o' sheep 'erdin' instruction manuals based on- ahh, I'm just messin' with ya, kid." Realising he might have sounded a little sarcastic, he quickly pulled that last bit in. He attempted to puff on his Pipe again, only to discover the bountiful herbs inside had stopped burning, even though they were nowhere near finished. Grumbling, he took out another match and tried to strike it against his wooden chair, keeping it out of Felan's view so as to not annoy him too much. "Y'know..." He started again, making some little grumbles as he attempted to light the match again during his pauses. "...I know we've 'ad some... unfortunate encounters in the past, an' it only makes sense. I mean... yer a big-money landowner an' I'm a freelance 'unter, so it's inevitable we'd butt 'eads every once in a good while. Ah! There we go... 'ope y'don't mind." He inserted that last segment of speech as he finally managed to strike his match, alerting Felan to the re-lighting of his smoking implement. Once he lit it, he drew in some more calm-smoke to increase his focus. This was an important proposition. "Now, in spite of all I jus' said, I do think that deep down, yer a good kid; a smart kid, an' I know yer'd put these... minor, niggly lil' issues aside for the sake o' the greater good. Is that how y'warmbloods say it, the 'greater good'? Yeah, must be. What am I gettin' 'at 'ere, I can already hear y'askin' in 'at growly voice o' yers? Well, I got me a lil' proposition fer you, kid. An' I think yer'll like it a lot. Like it like... that steak there."
Well, I'm gonna post in a few hours, I really need to be working again. Laters. EDIT: I just realised the library's going to close in just over an hour, so there's no point in working now. I'll make up for it tomorrow. Posting time.
Ahh yeah, I forgot all about that. Well, now that Rimau has sufficiently polluted the tavern... :V
I'm back! (Temporarily) By the way, I was expecting Naida to ignore Rimau, so no worries. He speaks up at the most inopportune moments. That said, is there any situation he could attend to so I don't feel left out?
Shetland you are so much better at that than me.
You mean, at the Funetik Aksent? I've had practice. There was a time when I'd be quite s%&# at it. Yours is still good, though.
