She shook herself abit as they entered. Special? her brows lifted with surprise there i nothing special about me.....at least...i dont think there is..erm...this way she motioned to one of the halls, and started toward her room. the light glinted off Tonas chest plate catching Shuk's attention. armour? she questioned, a hint of confusion on her features. she examined it out of the corner of her eye, seeing the quality of the metal she stopped its near perfect..how did you come by that?? she stooped a bit to examine it more closely. catching herself in her action she blushed a bit oh,..eh.. sorry..
Tona had followed Shuk for a bit and noticed that her charge has seen her chest plate. She let the first acknowledgment pass and they continued down the halls. Then when the questions were asked, nothing else could be done to ignore her curiosity.
"They were a gift from the Arch Priestess upon my appointment to being her advisor."
She unbuttoned the top of her shirt a bit to reveal more of the plating. Reluctantly, she showed it a bit letting her see the markings. It bore the seal of the priestess and the corporis cast. Also, symbols marking the first and second voice were there. The workmanship -was- truly orante and done by expert hands. Yet, it was dulled very much so on purpose, not rusted or blemished, but dulled to a very matte base.
After a second she buttoned her shirt up and continued on ahead, "It's nothing of importance really. Now, which room is yours?"
I am [The_Angels]Mortis. If you need help regarding the rules, the game, or just need someone to talk to, feel free to contact me on skype or PM me.
Shuk smiled at her. Wow, i cant imagine how much it took for you to rise so high her amazement glinting in her eyes. im here She stopped infront her bedroom door, opening it a bit.. the kitten ran to her and she scooped it up. she crooned at it as she stood aside, opening it further for Tona and herself to enter. what a fat belly, some one fed you while i was gone she whispered at the little thing. it settled in her arms purring its delight at the attention. She glanced at Tona apologetically. i couldnt help it. it was in a gutter when i found it her fingers absentmindedly stroked its grey fur.
Tona smiled a bit. "The priestess has this rather uncanny ability to recognize talent and greatness. Even in those whom wouldn't dare to see it in themselves."
She walked over to the cat which was in Shukura's arms. She leaned in a bit and smiled a bit, letting her hand flow over the soft fur. Tona tilted her head a bit as her eyes glazed a little while she petted it a couple times. She unhesistantly regained her focus on the cat and turned to loom at Shukura.
"Pets are of no consequence within the Enclave. As long as they as well kept, and do not disrupt the efforts of others, then they are most welcome. You have no reason to be sorry."
A small beep in her ear could be heard as a message cam into her comm link. She raised her free hand to her ear as she continued to pet the cat. Giving a slight sigh, she smiled at the cat and then turned towards the door.
"I am being called back to the Temple, and the Priestess wishes for you to join me. I know your questions are going rather unanswered now, but in due time you will come to the knowledge you seek. Grab your things and come with me."
I am [The_Angels]Mortis. If you need help regarding the rules, the game, or just need someone to talk to, feel free to contact me on skype or PM me.
she breathed a small sigh of relief as tona said she could keep the little cat. her hand continued to stroke it, a giggle bubbled up as it started to purr louder than seemed possible for its minute size. a beep sounded causing Shuk to look up from the furball. a puzzled expression formed on her face as Tona stilled with her hand to her ear. upon hearing the repeated message Shukuras eyes went wide at the summons. um, ok she managed to get out around the nervousness that was creeping through her. she moved quickly, set the kitten on the bed and shoved the few things she had unpacked back into her bag. no sooner than she slung it on her shoulder the kitten leaped up onto it and curled up, half on Shukuras shoulder, half on the bag. she gently moved the other strap onto her other shoulder, turned to Tona and gave her a nervous thumbs up. so where to?

The bar was quiet for the time. A poster on the wall advertised the evening's entertainment as a young man to perform so guitar licks and solos. Norman would tell anyone, "he's good enough to be able to do that on his own." Still, few people knew him.
The man walked in, a guitar case in his hand, and walked over to the bar, shaking Norman's hand.
"Well, Chris, good to see you again," Norman said, leaning back a bit, "and you shaved the beard and mustache."
He just nodded and grinned, "Yeah, got tired of it. Hey, I need to get set up. Um, just sodas for now."
With that, Chris went over and opened his case. As he took it out, some assistants brought in his gear. A couple of other guitars, ampliefiers and a switchboard.
As he tuned his guitars, string by string, he did so with a cigarette resting in a nearby ash tray in between puffs. He took his time, tuning each one like his life depended on it. As he did, the crowds started to increase. For him, it was time.
Once finished, he finished his smoke and strapped a guitar over his shoulder. From then on, he let his instrument do the talking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8q0Mb_uOG8
When he finished, he thanked the crowd that was still massing and applauding.
"Thank you," he said, "I am Chris DeGarmo for those who don't know. I'll try my best to keep you entertained tonight for, well, a little while. If you want to hear it and I know it, I'll play it."
A young girl wearing a pink skirt entered in Sophie's.
She smiled at every man in the bar and sat on the bar counter, making several customers raise an eyebrow.
The bartender took a quick look at her legs and then reluctantly reported his attention to her face "Erm... Miss?"
She waved "Hello there, hon'. You know... You can call me Concordia.."
He chuckled softly "Well... Glad to meet you... Concordia. Anyhow, would you be gentle enough to not sit on the counter?" He pointed at the stools "Those are here for a reason, you know?"
Concordia made her michievous face "You think so...? But... I think you liked it..."
He coughed "That is not the question, miss" He then shook his head, jumping to another subject "Anyway... What can i offer you?"
She thought a bit and grinned "Uhhhh... Coalition vodka"
The bartender took a suspicious look at the girl "How the hell do you know this beverage... And... Aren't you too young to have such drinks?"
She bursted out laughing, almost covering during a second the guitar solo a guy was doing on a scene nearby. "Eh... That's my favorite drink!" She then made her shy face "And i bet i could beat anyone in a drink contest..."
A client nearby chuckled "das Fräulein speaks a lot..."
She smiled "Ahhh? Well try me then!" "Herr barkeeper. Someone needs an humlity lesson 'der, nicht war? Give us something strong, and we will see 'dat frau will be able to drink only a glass"
The bartender shook his head again and took a bottle of Canarian scotch that was known to kill every bacteria in one's mouth. He then filled two glasses "This won't end well..."
The Rheinlander took his glass and grinned at Concordia "Frau... It's still time to withdraw"
She grinned as she was taking her glass, then bottomed it up in a blink. The rheinlander drank his and pulled face.
Concordia smiled "More, love?"
He grinned "Fräulein... You will need more than one glass to beat me, i'm afraid" He then gestured to the bartender to refill the two glasses.
The two contestant bottomed up again their glass bravely. The Rheinlander coughed and tapped his chest.
Concordia, appearing to be still sober, giggled. "We will drink more right?"
The rheinlander made a vague sign to refill the glasses, and took his, staring at the girl.
She bottomed up her glass in a blink. He followed her example reluctantly.
The bartender whispered to a client watching the two drinkers "According to my medical expertise, their stomach should catch fire already..." The client chuckled.
The girl stared at the Rheinlander, smiling, and pushed him with one finger, making him almost fall from his stool.
She laughed "More?"
The Rheinlander tried to gain back his composure, and asked the bartender to refill the two glasses.
Concordia took her glass, bottomed it up once again and smiled.
The Rheinlander cursed then whispered "'dat Fräulein is a hole..." He then tried to drink but failed to finish his glass.
The girl got up on the counter and started to dance, laughing "I win! I win!"
The bartender caught her and forced her to jump off the counter "Right... Right... You won... Now take a seat and be quiet, okay?"
The Rheinlander bowed and took her hand, then kissed it "Fräulein... I lost... Well done!"
She smiled and hugged him. He blushed and left the bar quite quickly.
Concordia then sat on a stool and asked "So... I can have my coalition vodka now, right?"
The bartender made a weird face "Don't you think you drank enough already?"
She laughed "What? It's only the beginning!"
He shrugged "Fine" He then gave her a clean glass and a bottle of vodka.
She filled her glass and sipped some vodka, then turned around to take a look at that guitarist. She giggled "Woa... He is cute..."
The girl then stared at him, sipping some vodka, with a grin on her face...

Chris finished his last song. He took a look around and noticed the bar was hopping. He also noticed the young girl in the pink skirt giving him a stare. He smirked back and after making a quick tune of his guitar, he then spoke into a microphone.
"I'm going to speed this up just a bit," he said, "I've been doing this next one since I was a kid." He again smiled at the girl in pink.
Concordia sipped some vodka and got up as that cute boy was starting a tonic solo.
She started to dance, shaking her hips according to the music rhythm.
When he finished his solo, she shouted "Whoooooo!" and laughed.
The boy then asked her with a grin "Something you like?"
She made her cute face and stared at him "Well... It's amazing to see you.... and it's amazing to hear that music you play!"
The girl then took her glass and sipped some vodka "What is this thing you're using to create the music anyway... First time i see such a thing!"
She grabbed her vodka bottle, smiling, and walked slowly towards him, then sat near him, taking a curious look at that guitar she never saw before.
Concordia then chuckled softly "You know... That music you play... it reminds me a [A.D.M.I.N Censored]"
She bursted out laughing and refilled her glass...
