Aieth - The World Between

@vide - I'm only concerned about the nature of his powers creating a non-consent situations among players. Such as, "Strong willpower lessens the effect, but in time, it surrenders to its influence." So basically even within time, the player will have to react without consent of the situation. Since I want this to be a fun environment and not one filled with hostility (OOC anyways), I'm sort of worried about that in particular.

Weather: Snowy
Location: Queen of Hearts Bar
Interacting with: Effie (@ineffably), Ayla (@Camey), Kaïte (@Lumiere)

Despite that Effie found her comment to be rude, it in fact seemed to make the android beam with pride, smiling and almost standing just a little taller. However as she seemingly dismissed her waitress, Ardella did a small curtsy and turned, seeing Ayla waving her over. However before she could make a move, Effie caught her off-guard by wanting to speak with her further. There were several times a person would be interested in her design, surely, though this was the first she had experience with such passion since leaving her manor house. Ardella smiled once more, happily so and bowed her head just a bit. "Of course miss - I would be happy to be of assistance, truly." Despite being an android, even her voice modulation perfectly mimicked the tone of a full-blooded human, giving off a warm feeling.

Again, though, she was interrupted by another voice breaking the silence, causing her to blink. Usually not so many people were so forward in interacting with her - most found androids to be nothing than things, which she did not mind so much, as most did not grasp the level of complexity her programming was coded with. Still, it caused her pause as she clearly considered and then quickly turned toward Ayla, offering a polite wave, trying to indicate for her to be patient with the new customer. "Might I suggest a simple beef stew. It will not be much more than beef, potatoes, onions and seasoning, but it shall allow you enough left over to choose perhaps a simple water, giving you plenty of energy." Though it was far too rude to say as much, it did indeed look like the poor creature needed it. "If you're willing, there is a screen at your table where you can order it. I shall endeavor to make it my task to bring you the requested food when it is ready. However, if you would please excuse me - I am being beckoned by another customer as well." Having fully turned towards Kaïte by now, she gives another gentle curtsy and smiles politely before taking her leave.

Having politely left the previous two tables, she finally found herself in front of Ayla's table, giving a small bow of her head in greetings. Though she paused for a moment, glancing to the woman's full glass and giving a soft smile. "Good evening miss, how may I be of assistance?" She stood there, just like she did with the others, formal and polite with her handed folded in front of her.

Ardella paused as she caught the eye of the silver-haired woman, however she held up a single finger, indicating that she had noticed and was apparently about to do something. Staring for just what seemed a moment, she turned to the bar and got Sam's attention. Quickly he made a drink, which Ardella grabbed, gave him a polite bow of her head and briskly made her way over. Though the yelling of a drunk man caught her attention, one of the many other waitresses was already on her way. Quickly turning her attention back to her current customer, Ardella did a very light curtsey and set the drink on the table - which happened to be the exact fruity cocktail that she had already ordered several times.

With a gentle smile, "May I be of further service, miss?" she asked. Now that she was up close however, Effie could easily tell the android looked far more human than the normal variety. Almost so much so that it would be difficult to tell the different in many cases. Even her expressions seemed wholly genuine, polite though reserved in nature. Ardella even did something that an android would not likely do, indicating curiosity as her eyes flicked over the small pile of books in mild interest. She didn't say anything though, showing she had good manners in not prying upon customers business. She stood perfectly still though, hands folded in front of her like some formally trained servant girl.

Aieth - The World Between

Time & Date Stamp: Jan 1st, 8:09 P.M.
Weather: Snowy
Location: Queen of Hearts Bar

The bar was alive as usual, the patrons laughing, cussing, clanking glasses and yelling as per usual. A retro, though pleasant and upbeat song was blasting through the bar's speakers, making it so it was difficult for some to hear more than ten feet away from them, but not many of them seemed to mind. There were all sorts, from a drunk dwarf to a gentleman-looking lizard humanoid. This city was bad enough without racism, so at least most of the people here that grew up in Sraefin didn't care to waste their time, though there was always a few. The bartender was busy busing drinks across the large bar while cooks on the second floor made sure any paid food was ready and hot for those within.

On the first floor, among many of the several off-shoots of rooms was a plainly dressed girl serving drinks to some men, though rumors had circulated recently of the strangely disciplined woman. "Hey babe, got a question for you." A man in a uniform of sorts, perhaps one of many gangs that existed in the city, pointed to her with his drink while a couple of his friends snickered and looked on with interest. "Heard rumor you were one of them robot girls or somethin', yeah? What kind of robot are you? Do you like - y'know - do stuff in the bedroom and all that?"

The girl paused, looking at him with an expression that spoke politeness, though there was a hint of annoyance at the man's question. "There's no use in hiding that I'm indeed an android, however my apologizes sir, for I'm not comfortable giving out such delicate information to those who I do not know." Just as politely as she said it, she bowed her head a little, giving a basic respect to the man despite his likely motivation.

"Aw, c'mon, don't be like that! It was just a question, yeah? You can trust me." He nearly dropped the glass of brandy, indicating he was clearly tipsy if not drunk and reached out to grab Ardella's wrist, attempting to pull her in. Much to his surprise, she did not budge, not even an inch. As if she were threatening his manhood, her brows furrowed and he pulled harder, grunting in annoyance. "Ugh, fine bitch, whatever! Just fuck off then!" Grumbling, he waved her off and started to drink, trying his best to ignore her presence.

"Very well sir," was her only response, turning promptly as she went back to the bar for further instructions. Patiently she stood at the bar, waiting for the tender to finally notice her, walking over. "Sam, table eleven has their drinks. Can this one be of further service?"

The man, middle-aged, his hair starting to grey, but definitely very handsome and well-fit leaned over the bar and chuckled as he glanced to the table. "Yeah? Saw that punk giving you trouble. Should know not to bother with an android like you, huh?" he smirked amusingly and stood back up, wiping the bar off and shrugging. "Nah, unless someone calls you over, just wait here, okay? Take a break - uh, well, not that you need one, but take it anyways." Just then another person at the bar called over, giving a slight wave to Ardella and leaving her alone, standing at the bar as she turned, simply to watch all the people interact.

OOC note

Just do intros for characters and stuff and let the role-play start! Ardella is just chilling at the bar and will come if anyone calls for her to bring them a drink/food.

Aieth - The World Between

_Theme

The Queen of Hearts Bar sits at the heart of Sraefin (Sray-fin), a city that is littered with the downtrodden, hopeless, and the greedy. A city that is always alive, bustling in the day as much as the clubs and bars are full at night - a city that never sleeps and the sirens of the police echo across it's metal surface consistently, like a familiar songbird. All races live in this metropolis, from small halflings to tall half-giants, and where magic ebbs and flows in the streets like some illegal drug. One of the few places that exist as a safe haven, Queen of Hearts Bar employs powerful magic to keep it a mostly violence-free zone, keeping most weapons out via dimensional magic, though brawls can exist here like anywhere else. Where the magic does not protect the patrons, there are plenty of guards paroling to keep the peace.

Welcome to the Queen of Hearts Bar!
