[INN/TAVERN] The Leap of Faith

[Whisper]

-=| THE LEAP OF FAITH |=-

"Welcome to the Leap of Faith! Try out Flame Tongue, it'll burn your throat, make your cheeks rouge and your belly burn till you cry for your mama!"

The largest inn and tavern of Demios provided entertainment, drinks, merriment, and adequate lodgings for all its patrons. A raised stage stood in the back of the tavern area for entertainers: bards, jugglers, and poets. On occasion, bored patrons gave a shot at telling tales of their latest wench conquests and tales of dragons. Loud, raucous, and merry, the Leap of Faith's dining room is always crowded and full of noisy, happy customers.

The second floor of the Leap of Faith consisted of twelve rooms, with one suite room for the occasional wealthy patron. The prices were fair, and despite the raucous environment downstairs, the rooms were clean and safe.

For the hungry customer, there was a stack of oily, dog-eared menus on a teeny tiny pedestal near the entrance. A friendly sign next to them read: SEAT YOURSELF! Once this was done, waitresses in matching white and blue uniforms tended to every patron's needs.

Bluloo, a Lutran with flaming red britches served drinks at the bar. "Care for a Fire Tongue? Or need a room? Ask Helgga over there," said Bluloo before he pointed to a large blond lady with bloodshot eyes and more muscles than a mare.

The search and walk to the Leap of Faith was minimal and by the time he arrived, Straylor greeted each member of the staff aimicably before venturing toward the counter. He was tempted at first to get the deluxe suite but his order of business required some discretion, at least in the eyes of the public. "A comoner's room for two brightenings please" he said in mellow tones. He slipped the banknotes that appropriated the sum correctly and some extra. "For my meals" he offered smartly.

Recieving the keys for his room, Stray trotted up the stairs. For a traveller he had very little luggage, just a leather back pack and his weapons. But while he traversed the stairs he was already looking for a particular room, one that wasn't his. He had an appearance to make, after all, and orders to give. After that, he could induldge in some rest and perhaps re-charge the imbuements he used that brightening.

Late 2nd Cycle, Imperos, Season of Summer, Era XV

The half Elf made her way to the reception and with a polite smile showing upon her blood shaded lips she greeted the receptionist before placing her request. "I would like a commoner's room for a cycle, though it could be longer depending upon business." Auer awaited word of the charge and placed the thirty crowns upon the counter with extra crown included. "My horse will need stabling at well."

The business was her sister and as the half Elf awaited the key to pass hands she pondered whether she would ask if Elmaryia Grey Leonard was staying at the inn. Pressing her lips together, the light skinned creature thought better of it as the receptionist turned back to her with the key. Upon hearing directions to the room Auer thanked her and made her way there with her travel bag resting upon her slender pale shoulder, her Aelyria Hunter trailing behind her and the alluring thought of a bath taking prominence on her mind.

[Ashandra Gha'Nalis]

First Dianara of Imperos

The Leap of Faith was Ashandra's first stop upon entering the city of Demios, and she sighed as she entered the noisy tavern. A few quick words from the barkeep later, and she found herself being directed to a rather large blonde woman, at least twice her size.

"I'd like to be purchasin' a room, if'n ye please. The Deluxe Suite for one cycle." Once money had exchanged hands, with a generous tip for the older woman, Ashandra accepted the key to her new room, along with directions on how to get there.

A quick smile and wave later found her leaving the noisy common room, only to stop a few steps away from the woman. "Oh! Also, if I could have a bath drawn up immediately? I'd like to get the dust from the road washed away as quickly as possible."

Tossing another of her quirky grins the woman's way, Ashandra continued her earlier path out of the common room, and toward her suite.
