The Flounder Finn Tavern

Sarah · November 25, 2002, 05:03 PM

In the western side of Narim, near the bustling of the busy harbour, a lone, large, one storey building is nestled by the cobbled streets. It is made of sturdy stone, and catches your eye as an extra large man is standing next to the timber double doors that must lead into the establishment. As you approach, the what must be a half-giant steps in front of the doors and looks down at you. Nearly all but a giant would have to look up to see his frowning and malicious face, and for most it is a scary and frightening site.

He opens his palm out to you in and speaks in his loud and alto voice. “All weapons now if you have them, this is a decent establishment I don’t want to have to shake them off you now would I?” he grins his eyes twinkling with cruelty awaiting your compliance.

If you do comply without to much hassle, the half-giant would allow you entrance into the tavern. If not…

Once inside you would be greeted with warm and friendly chatter, and the hum of a harp and lute, played in the corner of the room by a pair of elves. Well polished tables and chairs of cushioned red velvet, litter the room, and on the far side there is a large bench and bar, all are lit with ornate and intruqate brass candle sticks. Throughout the flashy building aromas of fresh food and drink can be smelt and almost tasted… it is mouth watering to all that are hungry and thirsty.

“Serale sir/madam,” a human male approaches you from the right, a flashy grin on his face, and shiny shoes on his feet. “Welcome to the Flounder Finn, I am the owner of the establishment Jidry Mishusarshiny but everyone just call me Mr Finn,” he laughs thinking he had made a jest, and without letting you speak continues. “I hope our big friend Gilard didn’t frighten you, but the Flounder must keep its reputation of being the only respectable Tavern in this town,” he laughs again, giving you a wink of his brown eye. “So take a seat dear friend, listen to some music, and one of my darling waitresses will be with you shortly,” Jildry then disappears off somewhere, with a darling waitress most likely.

[Note on the table] please ask waitress for menu and daily specials on both food and drink, thank you Mr. Finn

Kreal Donen · November 28, 2002, 07:02 AM

Not quite knowing what to expect, Kreal entered the Flounder Finn Tavern after having left his weapons and his two bucklers with the giant at the door.

He nodded a greeting to the owner.

"Serale," he smiled, "and thank you."

Kreal took a seat and stretched his arms as the music played. Then he leaned back, and, with a half smile, started looking for one of these "darling waitresses"...

Kreal

Altysa had been listening to the sweet music being played by the two elven bards, making polite conversation with other visitors to the tavern before she noticed the newcomer enter, and after Mr. Finn had greeted him, as he liked to do to all those that entered the Tavern, she excused herself from her conversation she had been in, and made her way over to his table.

Altysa was a beautiful woman, that looked mostly human in race, but the slight point of her ears showed she had a little elven blood running through her veins. She was wearing a tight fitting blue dress that stopped just below her knees, and a small white apron that was tied around her waist. She smiled at Kreal, her blonde braid hanging down her back, and her blue eyes friendly.

"Serale sir, I am Altysa and will be your waitress this brightning, welcome to the Flounders Finn. Do you have anything in particular you would like tonight, or would you like for me to give you the menu and speacils?" she said quietly waiting for his reply, her eyes twinkling.

Kreal Donen · November 28, 2002, 08:02 PM

Kreal smiled at his waitress.

"Serale, Altysa. I'm Kreal, so please don't call me sir."

Kreal thought about her query for a few moments, before leaning forward in his seat.

"No, I'll just have the menu for now. What else I want can come later."

He smiled flirtatiously to the waitress, curious to see how she would respond.

Sarah · November 28, 2002, 08:40 PM

Kreal

Altysa blue eyes sparkled and she smiled back at him noting the way he smiled at her. "Well sir," she said, humor in her voice, and a teasing look in her eyes as she did not call him by name. "I'll be right back with your menu," she turned, her braid spinning around with her, until it rested midway down her sleek back, and she walked towards the back of the room, looking back briefly to see if the newcomer was watching her.

The woman returned only moments later, and handed Kreal a piece of paper with the word Drinks Menu written in intricate letters above what the Tavern had on offer.

Exotic and Fine Wines (by the glass)
Nuryondi White - 10 crowns
Nuryondi Red - 9 crowns

If Kreal noticed no food happened to be on the menu, he would soo be informed by Altysa who began to speak in her soft saprano voice. "Today sir," she said a small laugh escaping her lips. "The speacils are Roast Chicken or Venison with a side of fresh salad which is 15 crowns, and Smoked cod caught from our own harbour," she says with much pride.

"Do you see anything you desire?" she askes looking at him with her teasing eyes, wondering how he will answer her.

Kreal Donen · November 28, 2002, 08:53 PM

Kreal had indeed watched her as she left for a menu, and continued to watch her as she returned.

He looked over the drinks menu, taking note of what there was to offer.

"I'll have the venison with the side of salad," he began, "and a glass of Nuryondi Red, please."

He took a second look over the menu, making sure he had ordered correctly, then looked back at the waitress.

"But as for what I desire, Altysa," he added with a grin, "It's not on the menu..."

Sarah · November 28, 2002, 09:21 PM

Kreal

"Yes the menu does need revising," she said in a steady voice, but her eyes and smile showed that she did indeed know what he was getting at, and that she was continuing to tease the human male. "I will just tell of cheif your order, and bring you back your glass of wine," she said with a smile, turning again, knowing that he was watching her again. She gave out the order, and slipping behind the bar pulled out a glass, filling it with the scarlet wine, before brining it back, and placing it on the table infrot of him.

"That's 24 crowns all togethor," she said with a small grin. "Is there anything else you would like? I'm sure the venison won't take long,"

She stood her right hand resting on her hip, and the left etching the curves of the wood grain, but her eyes didn't leave Kreal's face, and a smile did not leave her lips.

Kreal Donen · November 29, 2002, 12:02 AM

Kreal smiled back at Altysa, and produced thirty crowns from his money pouch.

"This should cover the bill, and hopefully provide you with a bit extra."

He placed them at the side of the table closest to Altysa, before responding.

"Well," he teased, "I guess that depends on what there is to offer."

Vile · November 29, 2002, 12:07 AM

Vile walks past the giants. Once inside the tavern Vile, half-asleep from his long travel walk up to the waitress (Not realizing he is interrupting her conversation.) and asks, “What do you recommend for a worn-out traveler?”

Vile looks out of the corner of his eye at the man siting at the table next to him, that was talking to the waitress before Vile ruddily interrupted.

Sarah · November 29, 2002, 01:58 AM

Kreal and Vile

Altysa laughed a little at his tease her eyes sparkling. She did like this one, he was a bot of fun, and it had been awhile since one of the people in the Inn had made her laugh, espically since she had to deal with the weasly Mr. Finn, but it was a job, and for the most part she enjoyed it...

Yet they were oth rudely interupted by the newcomer, but Altysa smiled to Kreal giving him a 'I'll be right back don't you worry look' and turning to the newcomer.

"Serale sir, welcome to the Flounders Finn, as for a worn out traveller I would reccomend a tankyard of Vistigious Master Brew Ale that we have in the tavern," she said with a smile, taking Vile's arm and leading him to the table next to Kreal's and sitting him down. "As well as a seat and a waitress of your own," she said with a small smile before turning away from him for a moment, and pulled another woman that was milling aound the room whispering in her ear. The two woman appear to converse for a few moments, their eyes glancing over both men with a small giggle leaving Kreal and Vile wondering what they were talking about.

Sarah · November 29, 2002, 02:05 AM

Vile

Lystash was a human girl, around a few years younger than Altysa with large brown eyes, and tresses of brown hair that were cut in a clean bob that framed her oval face. She had a look of innocence around her as she approched the man with a small smile on her lips. She like Altysa was wearing the same tight dress but in a deep, blood red color.

"Serale sir, I hear from my friend that your a weary traveller, well you have come to the right place for this is the best tavern in the whole city..." she trailed off, and it was obvious that Lystash was a bit of a talker. "Oh did Altysa take your order? What would you like?" she looks at Vile with her big deep brown eyes, blinking her long, dark eyelashes. "Oh I'm Lystash by the way," she said, her pink cheeks going a darker shade of red. "I've only just started here, so please be patient with me if i do something wrong..."

Kreal

Altysa made sure that the new man was well seen to by one of the junior waitresses before making her way beck to Kreal and their conversation. "Now were we before so unfortunatly interupted?" she asked with what sounds like a purr in her voice. "Oh yes the crowns," she said with a laugh taking them and poketing her extras, with a wide smile of thanks. "What's on offer tonight?" she laughed. "Well at the Flounders Finn my dear Kreal," she said with a cheeky smile. "We have been taught that the customer always gets what he wants, so I guess its up to you isn't it," she smiled, putting the ball in his court.

Vile · November 29, 2002, 02:18 AM

Vile looks up to the waitresses, and says, “Yes I believe the other waitresses recommended the tankyard of Vistigious Master Brew Ale. I’ll l have that.” Vile then takes out a slip of paper and a chip of black chock, and quickly scribbles a message. Once done with the message Vile looked over his shoulders then back to the waitresses, and says in a hushed voice while he hands her the note, “Give this to the man sitting at the table next to me.” Vile nods towards the man.

The note reads:
You look to be the kind of man I’m looking for. If you have a moment I need to speak with you.

Sarah · November 29, 2002, 02:32 AM

Vile

OOC: Vile look in your PM box please

IC:
Lystash nodded quickly. "I will take this over to the man with Altysa, though I can tell you she won't be to impressed once she has her eye on a man she dosn't like to be distrubed..." the young woman wispered to Vile, but took the note anyway. "Then I will go get you your ale, fine choice sir,"

Lystash walked quickly to the next table and with a sheepish smile on her face she approched the table.

"Yes Lys?" Altysa said turning to the new waitress. "Is there a problem?"

"No maam," Lystash said placing the piece of paper infront of Kreal. "Sorry to disturb you, but he wanted it passed to your customer...I've got to get his ale now... your not mad are you Altysa?" she asked quietly, for the blonde haired woman was the senior waitresses in the Finn, and all the other waitresses answered to her alone.

"No, no," the blonde waitresses said with a sigh, upset that Kreal and her had been interupted again. "Go serve your customer." Lystash then ran of, and managed to bring the tankard of ale to Vile without spilling a drop on the floor.

"I have given him the not sir, would you like anything else this evening?" Lystash waited patiently, her brown eyes wide with curiosity.

Kreal

Meanwhile Altysa turned to Kreal, a small, sad, frown on her usually happy lips. "Disturbed again I see," she said. "And you didn't even get to answer my question,"

Vile · November 29, 2002, 03:00 AM

IC: Thx for helping me Rain.

OOC: Vile looks back up to the waitress, and says while taking out a few crown, “ thank you very much. How much do I owe you?” Vile keeps look over at the man at the next table from the corner of his eyes. Hoping he will respond to his note.

Sarah · November 29, 2002, 03:18 AM

Vile

"Oh by Diana, the most important thing I could forget!" Lystash said with a blush, and an exasperated sigh. "Had you not been so honest sir you could have walked out of here without paying, oh then Mr. Finn would have had my neck!" she giggles a little. "Oh the ale that's ah..." she thought her brown eyes trailing the ceiling. "Um...ah... 5 crowns, no wait yes... 4 crowns for the ale sir,"
