ooc ; early day tomarrow, so i gotta turn in.

ic : well, good luck then. i think i've endured all of the valentines i can for this year.

*he shot an almost annoyed look over his shoulder at Vex and Moya, then stood from the bar and went up to his room*

Who in the world would ever use a word as silly as mixicology?

*smiles*

So, let's get started then. For our antipasti course, we will have Insalata Di Carciofe e Parmigiano, which is merely very thinly sliced artichoke bottoms dressed with lemon and extra virgin olive oil, and topped with freshly ground black pepper, kosher salt and a few shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Oh...and some warm and freshly baked Pane Pugliese is available as well.

As I am sure you are well aware, mixing wine and artichokes can be challenging to the palate...so I recommend we wait this course out to sample another glass...

*serves them both and sits*

Buon appetito...

*for a moment she sits and simply enjoys the tastes, the quiet, and the company*

How was your day? Did you spend it all making this...or did you have magic at your whim?

* i know how you feel, good night, and thank you, the spirit sat for a moment and then settled in front of the fire*


ooc: night:)

My day was filled with anticipation...and a few hours of prep. I find the act of cooking good food relaxing actually...therapeutic even. No magic involved.

Let me clear these plates...

thanks..again...

*stares into the candle's flame*

thanks..again...
My pleasure...

For the primi, or first course, I have made Pasta e Fagioli, a soup made of pasta (I used tubetti), borlotti beans, onion, garlic, chopped San Marzano tomatoes, and a few fresh herbs. And of course, more grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top of the soup, and another little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, just to guild the lily...

And for the wine, a nice, dry Bardolino from the Veneto region.

*serves soup, pours wine and sits*

Again, buon appetito...and thank you so much for joining me tonite.

Lot's of pleasure in the house...

*laughs*

Tell me more about your dancing...you're a professional?

*finishes his soup and sips his wine*

Kriege eyses opened slowly. his face lay in a small pool of dried blood. he sat up slowly and growned. he stood shakely and looked around the massage parlor. he spoted himself in the mirror. his eyes hadn't changed.The parasite is gone but I haven't changed.... he walked into the bar. part of his face covered in dry blood.

* the fire slowly flickers*

Lot's of pleasure in the house...

*laughs*

Tell me more about your dancing...you're a professional?

*finishes his soup and sips his wine*
I guess you could call me that. Like I said before, I've been traveling for awhile now, searching for...something...someone? I don't know. Dance is something I do well, and it pays my bills, usually well enough. I suppose I'm lucky that I found something that I love to do that I can use as a career of sorts.

*eats some soup*

*eats some soup*
So, you mean like, live theater? Broadway shows? Musicals...stuff like that?

Oh...please say yes...please don't let there be a pole and dollar bills involved...

*clears their bowls and goes to get the final course*

Krieges eyes slowly focus on the fire. "Miss Raven?"

* it flickers slightly, yes....*

Kriege stumbles toward the fire. then falls to one knee befor it. "Miss Raven I don't know whats going on. I can no longer see my way ahead... I Don't know who I am..."

*clears their bowls and goes to get the final course*
*laughs* no, not musicals..more like a dance troupe; except I don't have one I stay with. At least not for long. The politics and drama..you wouldn't believe!

*she gives a thin laugh and takes a sip of wine*

This is truely an exquisite meal.

* slowly it comes out of the fire and settls out on the beach,come out side...tell me what has happened*

*laughs* no, not musicals..more like a dance troupe; except I don't have one I stay with. At least not for long. The politics and drama..you wouldn't believe!

*she gives a thin laugh and takes a sip of wine*

This is truely an exquisite meal.I'd love to hear some war stories sometime. And thank you..

*briefly gazes skyward* Thank you, too... *winks*

Ok...I've broken a personal rule and prepared something that I have never prepared in advance. So...who knows how it might turn out...

For the secondi, or main course, we will dine on Rotolo Di Spinaci e Ricotta. I rolled out piece of dough, made only of flour and butter, topped it with a mixture of spinach and ricotta, mascarpone and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses, a few fresh herbs (with egg to act as a binder), then rolled up the dough and baked it.

Would you like to try some of this butter and sage sauce over the top? It's very rich...so I'm thinking a little bit goes a long way.

*pours them each a new glass of wine*

This is a Dolcetto d'Alba from the Piedmont region in the far north of Italy...

*crosses fingers*

Kriege stumbled out side. and lay on the beach. " I tested Meg to day to see If she loved me and... she dose....I don't know how I feal anymore. I love you dearly but....she was determind to bring me back.... she removed the parasite. I can no longer see whats to become of my life...."

I think you warrant that, yes...and more.

Forgive me...the wine is loosening my tongue I'm afraid.

I'm so happy you've enjoyed your meal. There's almond cake if you crave something sweet...;)

And where did I learn this...where indeed? No where...everywhere...here and there. No good answer for you. Too much wandering to remember. And I can fake a little Italian...and Gaelic...and English, too!

*he poured them both a Vin Santo and gazed upon her incredible loveliness*

Salute! To you..and to us...

"I... I don't know. she went to great lengths to remove the parasite and...she was even willing to consider taking the parasite to be with me... But we you, and I had an experiance that I... I can never forget...." he rested his head on the sand and staired at the stars.

*he poured them both a Vin Santo and gazed upon her incredible loveliness*

Salute! To you..and to us...

*she reaches for his hand*
*he feels the soft touch of her fingertips on his own*

Oh my...

It's getting late.

"I...I can't tell what my heart feels anymore. When I first met meg she was the first person in a long time who actualy was intreasted in me. but she had a diffrent view of me than what I really was. I ahd to change much about me to be with her. but I loved every minute. then my okd feekings for you were let out and I thought that I had finally found someone who would care for me. not for some frace image.... But meg was willing to sacrafice much for me I can't see the way anymore."

*he feels the soft touch of her fingertips on his own*

Oh my...

It's getting late.

*she gazes into his eyes*

Happy Valentine's Day, Moya. I can't remember when I've enjoyed myself, or my company, more...

ooc: here comes the makeout scene!!

Bob had felt better after his little visit to the bar last night.
As he walked down he noticed Moya the dancer and someone he'd never seen before.
Ahh Valentines, cute

Oh, I wouldn't want to kick you out of your bed! How ungracious that would be..no, I suppose the best option would be for me to tiptoe past her.

*still holding his hand, she gives it a squeeze*

* go with meg....*

"But there will always be part of me that longs for you." he continued to stair at the stars. "I will miss you..."

ooc: and to think that I hate soaps in RL.

ooc: but its fun to make fun of people espscialy If there doing things smiliar to what your doing.
ooc: *shakes head* much have you to learn..much indeed. :P

I have to agree with your assessment of the RL holiday-its too contrived, so to truely express affection takes great feats.

"Do you need to ask? of corse I want to see you again."

ooc: most definately!

"Do you need to ask? of corse I want to see you again."
*only time will tell....but untill that time all you need to do is look to your self and you will see part of me*

ooc: no, just accepting

Kriege woke up in the sand on the beach and walked back to the club. he sat down at the bar and drank a Dr. Pepper.

ooc:damn theres no one ever here at this time

*wakes up and watches the club from his den*
Yawn

kriege leans back in his chair and starts to listen to aerosmith on his eyepod

.....yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win .......

*scratch... scratch...*

Hmm... I need a bath...

*Nekone lands infront of the fireplace and makes his way to the jacuzzis. Sniffing around, he finds the button and presses it, starting up the cyclonic action as well as heating up the water. Looking into the turbulant water, nekone closes his eyes and jumps in.*

[Ahhh... I missed this...]:)

*Nekone proceeds to swim about... blowing bubbles and splashing around.*:D

Kriege heard an odd noise and went to investigate. spoting the large cat(?) he backpeddeled slightly. most animals didn't like him

*the panther in the Jacuzzi looked up at Kriege and Winked? before rolling again in the water.*

Kriege blinked in suprise. "Well this is something you don't see everyday." he cocked his head to one side and watched the panther swimming. a cat who likes water? who'd of thunk

Kriege blinked in suprise. "Well this is something you don't see everyday." he cocked his head to one side and watched the panther swimming. a cat who likes water? who'd of thunk*Nekone rests his head on the side of the Jacuzzi.*

[what's not to like... the water's warm, the bubbles feels great... can't imagine anyone not liking this.]

"Me I hate the water. can't stand it. Its hard to swim with armor on." kriege walks up to the jaccusie and takes a glove off his hand and tests the water. "Just how I hate it. Nice and wet."

"Me I hate the water. can't stand it. Its hard to swim with armor on." kriege walks up to the jaccusie and takes a glove off his hand and tests the water. "Just how I hate it. Nice and wet."[Awww... it's nice tho. Why the Armor? you expecting a fight?]

"I always expect a fight. It came with the job." Kriege toyed with the ceramic chest plate and shoulder pads. "But seeing as I'm about to ge married I hap to quit that job. pitty the threat of attack hasn't gone away."

*wanders down the beach and in the back door*

hello

kriege stood and walked back into the bar area. "hello"

*helps himself to a cup of coffee and sits down at the bar*

so how are things going around here today?

''Things are going as well as could be expected around here." Kriege goes behind the bar and gets himself a Dr. Pepper. "You know meg right?"

''Things are going as well as could be expected around here."

*grins slightly*
It wouldn't be the Paradise Club without the world falling apart around it would it?


"You know meg right?"

yeah, i know her.

Kriege raised an eyebrow. "You say that Like you wish you didn't."

Kriege raised an eyebrow. "You say that Like you wish you didn't."

sorry, not what I meant. I just haven't spoken with her much recently.

shrugs. "Well she hasn't been around much. I mean I'm ingauged to her and I still have problems finding her so don't take it too hard."

shrugs. "Well she hasn't been around much. I mean I'm ingauged to her and I still have problems finding her so don't take it too hard."

yeah, I'm sure she's just busy.

kriege nods in agreement. "promise is sick you know. maybe that has something to do with it."

ooc: I got to get moving my college class stats in 15 and I need a shower so ciao.
Ic: Kriege looks at his watch. "Well I must be off for a bit I'll see you later. Ciao"

*From the Jaccuzi, a large mountain of towels creeps out and makes a ponderous trip to the bar.*

*Near the dance floor, the mountain of Towels shakes as Nekone proceeds to dry himself off by rolling among the white fluffy towels.*

*Smiling to herself and wearing the ruby heart-pin, Orchid enters the club.

The first thing she sees is a pile of towels moving around and the occasional black paw waving in the air, near to the dance floor.

She smiles even wider, and leaves Nekone up to whatever antics he is performing, and pours herself a drink.*

Even Nekone has stopped his paw waving....I'll jus have another drink and read a little.

*Pours herself another drink, curls up in the fireside chair and takes a book from her bag.*

Chapter 1
PETER BREAKS THROUGH
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end

kriege walks in whsitling happily.

*Hears a whistling and looks over the top of the book.*

Oh hello Kriege......are you ok?

Ju and I found you laying on the floor looking rather badly yesterday!

"Never been better." he smiled "How are ya doin' ta day?" He went behind the bar and pulled out his costumary Dr.Pepper.

ooc: tg

"Never been better." he smiled "How are ya doin' ta day?" He went behind the bar and pulled out his costumary Dr.Pepper.

ooc: tg
Wow.....I never saw such a speedy recovery.....

I'm glad to see you looking so perky though.

OOC
replied

"I was always fast recoverer. And I don't think of myself as perky. I'm more of a rubber ball."

*Goes back to her book.*

OOC
tg Kreig.

"whatcha reading?"

Peter Pan.......

Not very intelectually taxing, but a good story none the less....

"Me I'm more into the Michael Crichton books myself. But Whatever floats your boat."

Meg appeared and saw Kreige, a huge smile came across her face.

'Mai did it!' she said, hugging him tight.

Kriege took megs hand and twirrled her around playfully then sat her in a chair. he droped on to one knee befor her. "Let me do this right this time. Will you marry me?"

'Yes' Meg said with a huge grin on her face.

she held his cheek in her cold hands and kissed him tenderly.

*Once more she tries to read....*

Mrs. Darling was married in white, and at first she kept the books perfectly, almost gleefully, as if it were a game, not so much as a Brussels sprout was missing; but by and by whole cauliflowers dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces. She drew them when she should have been totting up. They were Mrs. Darling's guesses.

kriege returned the kiss and lifted her up in his arms. "When should we set the wedding for?"

'whenever you like....I'd like to make my own dress, so can we have it in about 3 weeks?' she asked,

"of corse we can." he smiled at her. "where do you wanna have the wedding?"

'on the beach....at sunset' she said softly.

"thats fine. But we had better start inviting people."

'but first...' she said smiling.

... :fluffle: ...

She took his hand and lead him down to the waters edge.

'how beautiful is this..?' she asked.

"Very. but not as beautiful as you"

ooc: tg

'this is the best place to raise...a child' she said, looking down.

"whats up?"

'nothings up....its alright' she said, noticing he didnt get the hint.

Kriege smiled at her. "well it would be an exelent place to raise a child." lets try to have one" He smiled at her.
ooc:I got to head to class now stupid evening classes.

*hunter wandered down the stairs*

*Continuing with the story, just stopping to pour another drink.*


For a week or two after Wendy came it was doubtful whether they would be able to keep her, as she was another mouth to feed. Mr. Darling was frightfully proud of her, but he was very honourable, and he sat on the edge of Mrs. Darling's bed, holding her hand and calculating expenses, while she looked at him imploringly. She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way; his way was with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again

*Hearing footsteps she looks up, only to see Hunter entering.*

Evening!

*Back to the book.*

*he nodded at Orchid and walked to the bar, retrieving a bottle of rum*

*walks in and takes a seat at the bar*
hey everybody

*walks in and takes a seat at the bar*

*Snaps the book shut and puts it back in her bag.*

Hello Rambo, How's things?

*Snaps the book shut and puts it back in her bag.*

Hello Rambo, How's things?

*grabs a bottle of whiskey and a shot glass*

*walks in, leaving a shotgun at the door*

Well hey everyone!

Meh, it wasn't really a leisure experience...

Meh, it wasn't really a leisure experience...
Aw....
Oh well, at least you did it!

Are you back to stay a while or planning on travelling more?

"Well well, what do we have here?"
"A little wavewalker without his lifegaurd"
"Looks like he once had it too, but it can't help him now, he's been disgraced
"He should still feel the same...a good strong form too. He should be a fine vessel"
"No!" The crusifix on Stags face blazed with a red fire as he swung sideways at the thin air, waking in a cold sweat. After a moment of stillness he sat up in bed panting heavily in a cold sweat.
"No.." He said with less resolution. As the images faded from his head a small pain in the back of his hand reached conscious thought. He turned his hand over to inspect it.
"Damn" He looked sideways at a smashed glass on the table beside his bed, and then back at the tiny sliver of glass embedded in his skin. He prized it out with his teeth and spat it into the bin, then spat into the wound to make sure it did not go septic.
"Surely one night is not too much to ask?" He asked to the world in general, then as it became apparent he would not rescieve one he turned back to the task of getting up.

"Morn-oh, evening all" He smiled as he came down the stairs

Hi Stag...you look like you had a rough night.

*Point to his hair sticking up all over the place.*

Hi Stag...you look like you had a rough night.

*Point to his hair sticking up all over the place.*

"Hmm? Oh, erm, I just lost my comb. I'm sure my bedside drawer lives off of them. Although it does seem to create socks I've never seen before so it's simbiotic I suppose. Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm? Oh, erm, I just lost my comb. I'm sure my bedside drawer lives off of them. Although it does seem to create socks I've never seen before so it's simbiotic I suppose. Did you sleep well?"
*Looks slightly puzzled at the question.*
Yes thanks.....I mostly do!

You get socks created in your drawer...most guys I know lose them in the wash!

Now we know where they go to......
:D

"Of course, the other end of every washing machine wormhole- is my bedside cabinet" He chuckled
"Genius. it could be worse of course, at least they come in clean"

*Scratches head.*

Wonder why it is that it's only socks though...I mean...
You could end up with womens underwear too....or the fat blokes trousers!
:eek:

"Ah, but the trousers would not fit, and women take care of thier underwear too well" He winked "But I can still hope"

*Laughs and hands him her comb.*

Here, make yourself respectable looking before the place becomes crowded!

Not very probable though....

Aw....
Oh well, at least you did it!

Are you back to stay a while or planning on travelling more?
Oh, I'm back for a while, thank God.


Hey Stag.

Oh, I'm back for a while, thank God.


Hey Stag.
Thats good...It's always nice to see the familiar faces!

Thats good...It's always nice to see the familiar faces!
Yeah... but I guess compared to what I did when I was gone, anything is better

*Laughs and hands him her comb.*

Here, make yourself respectable looking before the place becomes crowded!

Not very probable though....

"No, probably not, I did come down a bit late" He ran the comb through his hair a few times. It didn't look neat, but it didn't look like he'd just escaped from a building with alot of men in white coats either.
"Evening Sage, how are you?"

OOC
I'm now going cross eyed.
I think it's time I went to sleep!

IC

It was great seeing you again Sage...and keep the comb Stag....

See you both again soon....

"Well it's a definite positive start. Could I ask why this fact would be called into question?" He poured himself a glass of water and sat down next to Sage at the bar

Just a long half a year...

*Jen entered quietly through the front door and took a quick look around. The club was as unchanging as ever*

Just a long half a year...
OOC: How obscure, the forum seems to be driven to give me a "Database error" every three loads of a page

IC:

"Hah, well they never get shorter" He sighed
"Well it doesn't get shorter by staying sober. Can I get you anything?" He hopped over the bar and got himself a glass of whisky

Jack Spirit please

OOC: Empties right quick, doesn't it?

IC:

*Jen set down her pad with it's detailed sketch of the young man and glanced around the quiet club*

IC:

*Jen set down her pad with it's detailed sketch of the young man and glanced around the quiet club*
*pops up right behind her*

Hoy there...whatcha drawing?

You.

*She tore out the finished sketch and pushed it toward him. The lines in the young man's face were accentuated in the sketch, making him look decades older.*

Kriege walked in slowly he yawned. and sat at the bar and began drinking a dr. pepper.

You.

*She tore out the finished sketch and pushed it toward him. The lines in the young man's face were accentuated in the photo, making him look decades older.*
Wow...thats a very impressive picture...

*he looks over it more*

Why did you draw one of me?

Wow...thats a very impressive picture...

*he looks over it more*

Why did you draw one of me?

You were there and you were interesting. When I pay careful attention to things that seem interesting they often turn out to be more than they seem.

I see... you seem to be very wise. What's your name, may I ask?

kriege looked around bleary eyed. he walked over to a table riped one of the legs off. he sat back at the bar and drew his blade. slowly he began to carve the table leg.

I see... you seem to be very wise. What's your name, may I ask?

OOC: Heh, wise...

IC:

Jen, and what is yours?

Jen, and what is yours?

Sage, Sage Cornellis.

Nice to meet you, wise one.

*The crow appeared at the bar, eyes glittering with reflected fire light.*

slowly the carving began to take shape. It was a falcon. wings spread as if in flight. each feather individualy cut in. the eyes were chiped into shape with complete care. the legs took form. the claws of the falcon grasped a sword. kriege held it up and staired at it.

* deep below the club the candles in the stone room flickered as the last few bits of Ravens spirit gathered. She still lay on the bed of flowers,that still looked as though they had just been cut. Forming together again for the first time in almost a week, her spirit resembled a faint glimmering out line of the person it had inhabited for so long. bit by bit it slowly began the painfuly slow prosess of rentering the body. when it was finished the candles dimmed as her heart slowly shudddered back to life. It still remained to be seen wheather or not Raven would ever truly wake again*

Nice to meet you, wise one.
*bows*

Not a problem, artistic one.

*he smirks and winks at her, then notices the crow*

Oh, well what do we have here?

*Vex walked along the beach, pulling his coat tightly around him to help block out the bone-chilling breeze. he stopped a few hundred yards down and turned toward the water. the filtered moonlight eerily illuminated the top of each small wave as they splashed onto the sand one by one. he walked out to the end of the furthest jetty and sat down on a large, smooth rock, trying not to shiver in the cold wind...*

*As the candles flickered back to life, the presence left a part of itself to watch over the still form.*

*The crow tilted its head, flicking its attention to Jen, then to Sage.*

Kriege reched. he put his gloved fingers in his mouth then drew them out. blood coated the finger tips. he swayed slightly. he rubed the blood between his fingers. the beging of the end

*bows*

Not a problem, artistic one.

*he smirks and winks at her, then notices the crow*

Oh, well what do we have here?

That depends who you ask, but the most outspoken opinion at the moment believes that it is an avatar of the Irish goddess of battle.

*As the candles flickered back to life, the presence left a part of itself to watch over the still form.*

*The crow tilted its head, flicking its attention to Jen, then to Sage.*
*Sage walks up closer to the crow, and bends down, looking right at it*

Hello there.

Kriege threw the carving into the fire. We watched the fire start to consume the wooden Falcon. the blood lingered on his fingertips. it glissend in the fire light.

* slowly color and warmth returned to her body, as it did she began to shiver*

*The bird fixated instantly on the blood, but forced its attention back to Sage as he moved closer. It stared him dead in the eye, tattered feathers sitting calmly while its fiery little eyes met the challenge.*

*he smirked*

And tell me... what does a little bird like you have to do in a place like this?

*he held his hand up next to his face, keeping his eyes on the bird, from the end of his finger tips blue flames rose*

You like it?

kriege stumbled over to a table and sat down. he reched again and a small drip of blood rolled down his cheak. He smiked to himself. 2 and a half months to live. what a comedy what a tragedy

*As Raven shivered, the hooded form stepped up and covered her in a heavy blanket, retreating again, at least visually.*

*The crow, which had seemed to focus elsewhere for a moment, suddenly blinked and regarded the flame. Somehow, it almost seemed to grin, and shook itself casually.*

Death is rest for the soul.

*with his free hand Sage puts the picture of himself in his pocket*

Good birdie...

*he snaps his fingers, sending off some blue sparks, the flame then engulfes him, and he is gone*

* the shivering stoped and Raven became perfectly still once more*

Death is rest for the soul.

"Death is only the begining."

"Death is only the begining."
There is truth in that. Níl sa saol ach gaoth agus toit.

*with his free hand Sage puts the picture of himself in his pocket*

Good birdie...

*he snaps his fingers, sending off some blue sparks, the flame then engulfes him, and he is gone*
*If the bird could have chuckled, it would have. Perhaps it gave off the impression of doing so. As its feathers came to rest, it rubbed the sides of its beak against the bar's edge.*

As I said, when something is interesting, just watch it.

*Jen slipped hurriedly out of the bar and left her newest sketch behind on the table.*

Moya enters the bar looking quite drained. She heads to the bar and stars at the bottles as if deciding what to have.

There is truth in that. Níl sa saol ach gaoth agus toit.

Kriege raised an eyebrow. "english please."
ooc: don't make me brake out the german or the chinese

There is truth in that. Níl sa saol ach gaoth agus toit.
ooc: In life, there is only wind and smoke...

* Ravens eyes slowly blinked open, and staired at the ceiling*

ooc: In life, there is only wind and smoke...
OOC: Very good.:) And It was Gaelic, Kriege.

* Ravens eyes slowly blinked open, and staired at the ceiling*
Are you awake?

*The presence seemed to hover nearby, not taking any real shape in particular.*

OOC: Very good.:) And It was Gaelic, Kriege.

ooc: Well I can't speak gaelic now can I? auf englisch, deutch oder chineich bitte.

ooc: Well I can't speak gaelic now can I? auf englisch, deutch oder chineich bitte.
ooc: only english german and a bit of chinese?

Kriege leaned over to the next table and ripped off another table leg. again he began to carve.

Are you awake?

*The presence seemed to hover nearby, not taking any real shape in particular.*
* she blinked confused,I...I dont know...*

ooc: Well I can't speak gaelic now can I? auf englisch, deutch oder chineich bitte.
OOC: I'm moving to Germany in a few months, so I'm thinking it prudent to learn something a bit more then Ein bier bitte before I go. And mayhaps to spell that correctly, as I have no idea whatsoever.

ooc: only english german and a bit of chinese?

ooc: say it 'in english german or chinese please'

*he stood up and turned toward the club, it's windows all lit like candles on a cake. he stared at the distant building, oblivious now of the cold...lost in thought*

* she blinked confused,I...I dont know...*
Easy.. gather your strength..

*Upstairs, the crow obediently sought its bottle of blood-wine, struggling with the cork.*

OOC: I'm moving to Germany in a few months, so I'm thinking it prudent to learn something a bit more then Ein bier bitte before I go. And mayhaps to spell that correctly, as I have no idea whatsoever.

ooc: here are some good phrases to know: 'Wo ist die Toilette?', 'Ich bin Hornig', 'Ich bin Full', and 'Pissen Sie ab'

ooc: Was machts du denn heute abend?

Shaking her head, Moya turned to the door and exited the noisy bar.

just a little quiet and the night breeze...

Finally in the quiet she sat down and slowly began to relax.

Krieges carving slowly took shape. he took extra care with this carving. the only thing distinguishable about it was that it was a small female figure.

ooc: say it 'in english german or chinese please'
ooc: ah ok, languages arnt my strong point:p

ooc: Was machts du denn heute abend?

ooc: nix. und dich? was machst du heute abened? Irgendetwas interessant?

ooc: ah ok, languages arnt my strong point:p

ooc: thats ok it took me 5 years to learn german. and I'm still learning english.

Easy.. gather your strength..

*Upstairs, the crow obediently sought its bottle of blood-wine, struggling with the cork.*
* She became still again but her eyes moved, glanceing around the stone room, where am I?*

* She became still again but her eyes moved, glanceing around the stone room, where am I?*
My sanctum sanctorum..

*he pulled his coat a little tighter and slowly began walking back up the beach, toward the club. the night before had been such a wonderful affair, and he was concerned...not for himself...but for Moya. she really had no idea how cursed he had become in affairs of the heart...how could she know? he had fallen for her, no doubt...quickly and unexpectedly. he knew this was probably not a good sign...*

*he neared the back entrance and stopped...lingering in the darkness*

ooc: thats ok it took me 5 years to learn german. and I'm still learning english.
ooc: the only language that i can really click with is latin. what is your first language?

My sanctum sanctorum..
* she nodded and slowly rolled on to her side*

ooc: nix. und dich? was machst du heute abened? Irgendetwas interessant?
ooc: Nein, nicht wirklich.

Kriege finshed the carving and set it on the table. I was a perefct replica of Miss raven.

ooc: Nein, nicht wirklich.

ooc: was ist nicht wirklich?

ooc: was ist nicht wirklich?
ooc: Nicht wirklich=not really.

In my world...perhaps not in someone-who-can-truly-speak-German's world...:p

ooc: the only language that i can really click with is latin. what is your first language?

ooc: english is my first langauge.

ooc: Nicht wirklich=not really.

ooc: nicht wirklich also means not correct.
