The Whitelight Tavern
 
PostPosted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 4:31 pm


The Whitelight Tavern, so called because it catches the reflection of the sun off of Central Tower eight hours of the day, so much so in fact the hours have been painted across the top of it. Other than this the tavern looks like all the other buildings with wooden frames, door and windows and a thatched roof. Inside the bar however is very different. The floor is made of thin white pine boards that are waxed and stained to give off a modern glow. The walls are a darker wood and are only sanded down. Straight across from the door is the bar which is made of red oak and trimmed with white pine. The bar has stools all along the front that are red wood as well to match. Behind the bar is a door leading into the storage room and on the wall next to the door are long shelves holding glasses. Under the bar sits the bottles and kegs of the many fine beverages that the tavern serves.

To the left and right of the door and the bar are two rooms. Both rooms have large open doors leading into them. They are both filled with waist high round tables made of stained oak. On the tables are white candles in clear glass holder and around the tables are four chairs made of sanded oak.

Just left of the bar just before the door was a set of stairs leading up into the second story of the tavern is where all the rooms are located. The floor, walls, and ceiling of the first hall are made of gray ash wood, as well as the doors to these rooms. The rooms themselves are made of a stained pine wood with one large window, a bed, and a table. At the end of the hall, it splits into two ways. To the left is a nicer hall made with sanded pine wood. The rooms are a bit larger and have larger beds, a table, large window, and a wash basin. To the right of the first hall is the hall for the owners of the tavern. This is where they have their own rooms. The hall is made of stained red wood with dark rugs in front of every door and candles on the walls. Each room is large and is furnished in any way the owner pleases.

Under the tavern are the storage rooms. It is here that the bulk of the supplies are held in large cashes. Kegs are kept on wooden holders stacked up five high with a rope tied around them to keep them from falling. The bottles are kept ether in wines holder on their sides or in boxes stacked in the corners. The storage rooms are two different rooms and only the owners and the bar tenders have keys to enter.


A long parchment of paper has been nailed to the wall near the entrance for all to see...

Notice

This is a bar for those seeking a safe place to stay and a good place for a drink. We ask that you try and refrain from fighting in side the bar as to avoid damage.

We also ask that you do not conduct any illegal activities, as it does not look good for the tavern and you will most likely be thrown out. Please refrain from attacking the bartenders and the waitstaff. It is okay to talk with them but try not to keep them from their jobs. Thank you.

Brilliskimatii'nee'ma'tockkke "Brill"
(Pianist)


Russell met Brill in an unusual dimension and the two of them became firm if unlikely friends. Originally a keen player of the Xigir'wumper, Brill is a natural when it comes to any instrument, but his all time favorite of this dimension and many others is a grand piano that he plays at the bar with huge finesse.

*The door was stuck; with a short charge Russell crashed through the door and dust billowed in the gloomy room... He looked around sadly. the place hadn't looked like it had been used in years, everything was covered in dust sheets, Brill's piano had collapsed on one leg and the bar was caked in dust. Taking one of the sheets and waiving it out he began to polish the a section of the the bar, it's shine had long gone*
"What's happened to the city?"
*He stood in the doorway, the streets stood empty; in the morning (if he was still here) he would check the warp tower perhaps something went wrong, for now though he would see what state his old appartment was in, bath, then go to sleep for the evening... It had been so long since he sleapt...*

The door was open and the haze that came from inside told her of what to expect when she walked in. The boards creaked, the dust tickled her nose, and the oppressive smell of must overwhelmed her seances. She waved her hand in front of her face, though she knew it would do no good. She had to fold in her large wings tightly to keep them from bumping off the top of the door frame and she had to strain her eyes to see in the hazy darkness.

"What happened to this place?" She asked aloud, knowing no one would answer. She stepped in, having to go over and around broken tables and chairs.

"it looks like this place just, close up and never opened again." She whispered, looking to the warped stairs and sighed.

"It's going to need a lot of work. I wonder if it was Russell who opened it back up." She said softly, walking slowly across the floor, leaving footprints in the dust.

It was just a moment later that Russell pushed into the tavern backwards, his hands where loaded with paint tins and he had broom and variouse dusters under each arm. Stumbling into the room he let the stuff drop onto a table before going to each window and proping open the shutters allowing the morning sunlight in. Whistling to himself he turned and cuaght sight of Oni cutting his breath for a moment
"Bloody Hell!" He proclaimed backing and tripping over a chair, "I thought this town was empty..."
He looked a little closer, "Oni? Is that you again?"

Oni laughed when he tripped, walking over and helping him back up.

"Of course it's me. Who else do you know who is all blue all the time?" She asked, wiggling her ears and opening her wings to accentuate her point.

"And what do you mean again? I was just at my place. Got caught up in a little experiment. What happened to the city? Everything looks like I've been asleep for a hundred years again." She said as she walked over to a table and picked it up, setting it right side up. She swept one wing over it, clearing the top of dust.

"Sorry... It's been a while since I last saw you"
Russell shook his head and gave her a smile, he's somewhat younger than she would remember him, having seen him age for years on end he's now younger than he was when she first met him. Probably about seventeen his white beard is no more than a few scruffy grey hairs, his hair was still white though.
He continued casually on with his work, moving through the room and whipping off dust sheets.
"As for why the place is empty, I've only just got here myself..."
He walked past her and dummped the lot outside the door before coming back and taking up his broom.
"The main porthole is lcked up, but the front gates are wide open... the place doesn't look destroyed, just abandoned, there's barely a sole left in town" He continued sweeping, focusing on his thoughts and murmering under his breath, he had kept all his old man traits.

((BTW, Havencrest was always supposed to have a portol into the city, but I ca't find it? maybe I deleated it or something? But I'll remake one, lol... Oh like the new characters?))

Oni grinned a bit.

"You and you time skips. You are younger now then when I first met you." She said to him, though the mentioning of when they first met a painful memory that Oni had to fight hard to suppress. She ran a finger over the green shard in her amulet and forced a smile.

"You still mumble like an old man though." She teased, walking around the tavern and opening any of the windows that would slide easily. She did not trust herself to open the stuck ones, fearing she might break them.


((Yes. I do. xD!))

"I guess I do..." Russell worked hard and fast and within a few minutes the floor was dusted and he was stabbing at the ceiling with a duster, "It's nice not to ache in the mornings any more, and knowing old man things as a young man" He was in his stride now, having hit the corners he was nostriding along the bar whipping cob webs and dust from the racks of bottels and dried snacks. Pausing he stopped and picked up a packet of boar rind. Still standing on the bar he shook it gently and peared through the clear seem. "That's weird..." He opened the packet and gave it a tentative sniff before taking a peice of rind from the bag. He glanced at Oni, "Wish me luck" he said, before popping it into his mouth.

Crunching down on the item he was delighted by how fresh it was, he checked the bag again, "New august..."
Leaving the duster he stepped out onto the street and looked around, "Oni..." He asked, re-entering... "Can you normaly tell when you've sleapt for a long time?"
PostPosted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 9:20 am


"My home never changes remember? I can't even tell if I was working too long. Normally I find people and they let me know." She said as she followed him out the door, looking around and folding her arms across her chest.

"Why? That bag give you clues as to why there is no one here?" She asked, leaning over and trying to peer at the bag.

((Head over to Centril Plaza))

Re-entering his tavern Russell was pleases to see his staff again, thought he wasn't 100% sure why, Brill was playing something jooly on the piano and Marina and Diego where washing glasses ready for the evening, "Hey Guys!"

Oni walked into the Tavern and smiled, glad to see that it looked like it had before, not all run down.

"Well this is much better." She said to herself, walking over to Russell.

"So what did you need to talk to me about?" She asked him, reaching back and scratching one of her wings.
