The Chinal Pearl Inn part 8

[The_gladiator]

I shall try and remember Uggg and thanks for the advice and guidance.

Ah thanks S F.

Thoughts are with you CG.
we have all tried to play innkeeper while you have been away, saddy we aren't as good at as you

 

[Uggg]

if your or my signature gets any longer I'm gonna have to hide sigs to make page scrolling easier.
smiles at his pleasure. "I can hear someone practicing the piano. It sounds pretty. I never asked, do you play an instrument?"

*Nods happily*

Ugggs can smash sound from drums

We can also understand music theory and can read music and write music (a bit) but its been a long time (Like since high school) so we might be rusty as F#%K.

(We can also talk about ourselves in third person plural, which gives us mean super powers... like the queen)

Uggg

Uggg

When I talk like that it's just usually me and the voices in my head making up the we." snorts with a laugh.

"Drumbs huh? I played drum, for like 2 months. I played trumpet, but also been a while for me. I too understand some music theory though don't read much music, I was always more of a play by ear person. Though, I pale in comparison to my sister in that department."

pats his hand, "for the record, ugggs's are funny." he says with a wink.

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

The elf allowed very little of his real world frailties to touch this visage in this realm he appeared young and fit still even in the real world had packed on a few pounds, but who had ever heard of a fat who wasn't santa?

He smiled at her, "Forgive me my lady, I did not mean to startle you." for it was clear that he had caught her off guard.

"Yes, times have changed, but some of us stay the same.."

Waves Uggg over to give him a hug, "And good to see you too." he says ruffling Uggg's hair playfully and ducking any possible retaliation.

She leaned against her barstool and smiled at the elf.

“It’s okay, I’m easily spooked. Almost anything will make me jump, including dust particles, and loud noises.”

After nodding in agreement than some stay the same, she watched the exchange between Glad and Uggg with amusement, but at the mention of music theory and being able to read music she perked up, straight backed and wide eyed.

“I used to play the Violin in High School; I was also first chair soprano in school choir…” She interjected hastily. “…but that was… Jeeze… 9 years ago…”

She felt herself blush for admitting her age; it didn’t really matter, she knew, but she always felt old when recalling her youth.

((I’ll return soon, I need another small nap)).

laughing, 'Don't start down the age game my dear." laying a hand over hers, "If high school was 9 years ago for you that makes you one of the youngest in this room, actually even younger than me." a playful wink, "You ladies always thinking your old. I'd give much to go back to 27... and it wasn't that long ago. I do know that my knees didn't hurt at 27." he grins making it clear he was teasing her, but that last part was sadly, true.

 

[BritSal]

Great to see CG back if only for a brief moment. I got a message to GG & the CO (who you’ve known for donkey’s years) about your hospitalisation. We all want you to get well soon. In fact you WILL get well. THAT’S AN ORDER CHIEF!

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

Strolls in slowly. Pausing just inside the door to take in the inhabitants without having to escape the shadows door frame.
Then he entered slowly and settled at a stool on the bar. Offering a chuckle at the conversation about music and parking a brow at the violin. Turning to BT he spoke softly.

"I was first chair percussionist Junior and Senior year. I came very close to making music my profession. I already consumed it and played it every chance I could. I have played just about every style of music there is. When I am behind a drum it is the only time i am truly alive and free. All my nerves fall away and it doesn't matter how big the crowd is. I just play."

 

[rubenesque_princess]

a smile and a wave, "Hiya Ruby. Glad to see the real world let you go a bit. How are you?"

Hiya back, Glad! The real world has taken a right fair chunk out of my backside this week. It's only Wednesday, yet the days have already become a comedy of errors. I hope you are well.

Welcome back Ruby,

Hope all has been well for you?

Coolio, about the character really looking forward to this one. It's an idea I've had tucked away for some time. Ssshhhh! Secret squirrel though-- I told glad he would have to wait and see .

Uggg

Just sent you a message a few minutes ago. You're making me nervous. No pressure at all, really. Maybe this endeavor will help this gal bust her "give a damn" about what others think. Really hopes he doesn't regret asking her to join him on this Secret squirrel adventure.

Glad, I don't actually know how old you are, but geez, BeautifulTrauma, high school 9 years ago, really? Yikes! Given what I have inferred from others, I believe I might be the second eldest lady visitor to the CPI at 40. Too bad my brain still believes I am 23. My body, however, ugh....

 

[BritSal]

Ruby, it doesn’t matter how old you are in the real world. Here we accept you as you are and we welcome you. Sending love

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

Another new face. He turns toward Ruby with a smile.

"Hello there. Welcome to the CPI. Folks around here call me FD."

He laughs, "Ahhh ruby, I told you how old I was in PM.
you are of an age with at least one other CPI female so don't feel bad. my birthday is in a week and a half."

extends a hand to FD, "Evenin sir. It really is good to see you back. did they do anything for the migraines?"

 

[chris2c4u]

Shakes the elf's extended hand "yeah. The migraines are getting a bit better for sure."

 

[The_gladiator]

Shakes the elf's extended hand "yeah. The migraines are getting a bit better for sure."

"Good to know." He rises and heads behind the bar to begin opening up the stock, "What's yer poison mate?" he says to FD adopting a fake pirate accent just for the hell of it.

 

[rubenesque_princess]

(((HUGS))) the darling Sal. You are very sweet. I kind of feel like a mother hen the more I get to know you young peeps. Stretches proverbial wings. Unrelated to anything, but lots of people at the Inn go by initials. Do we get to call you BS?!?

Another new face. He turns toward Ruby with a smile.

"Hello there. Welcome to the CPI. Folks around here call me FD."

Startles a bit, then turns dark brown eyes toward FD upon hearing her name. She flashes him a dimpled smile.

Hiya, Firmhanded_Daddy, um, FD, and thank you for the welcome. When I first saw you, I mistakenly assumed you to be a new face. Cheeks flush at the admission. Welcome back, fine sir. Don't believe anything anyone here says about me being a merciless brat, flirt, or tease.

So, I mighta stalked you and your SRP a little. We have some things common, it would seem.

He laughs, "Ahhh ruby, I told you how old I was in PM.

extends a hand to FD, "Evenin sir. It really is good to see you back. did they do anything for the migraines?"

Shit, Glad, you did. I suck. Hangs head in presumed shame, but really to hide a devious grin as she debates whether to add what naturally should come next...giggle. Suck...come...

Anyway, I am sorry, Glad. We'll just say that little piece of information fell into one of the black holes in my brain from the joy of my life called multiple sclerosis. No, really, I literally have black holes in my brain, how my neurologists refer to brain tissue that has been damaged beyond repair.

Nuzzles into his chest as she wraps her as around him for a sweet hug. Forgive me?

returns her hug, hands running up and down her back, "No sweat dear, I was only teasing you. I'm less than 5 years older than BT and less than 10 years yunger than you." a grin, "there's some fun math for all the writers here." a wink.

Ahhh, yes. That jogged my memory about that conversation. That feels nice, don't stop. Leans more into Glad and releases a sigh. Placing her hand on one side of his face, she places a soft kiss on the other cheek.

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

"Good to know." He rises and heads behind the bar to begin opening up the stock, "What's yer poison mate?" he says to FD adopting a fake pirate accent just for the hell of it.

Chuckles quietly as the elven man slides behind the counter. Contemplating options for a moment he returns with a sly. "I'll take a rum and coke... without the rum."

Flashing a grin and a shrug of his broad shoulders he once again returns his attention to Ruby. His sun kisses skin was framed by light brown sideburns that led all the way down into almost a full beard that was trimmed short and neat. The coloring around his chin was a swirling natural palette of brown, red, and a few strands of white here and there. In contrast on his head there was no hair, it was neatly shaven.

"Nope, not new, quite an old vet actually. Just on an extended hiatus until yesterday. I had a lot of things to get in order and I needed solitude to do it.

At that last bit of her words his green eyes flashed with amusement behind the dark-framed glasses and his lips twitched into a smirk. He shook his head slowly and locked his eyes with hers intently, meaningfully.

"I do not judge other people based on hearsay or gossip darlin. I am an excellent judge of intention and character and I let people show me who they are on their own. I will be happy to let you introduce yourself to me without realizing it. Oh did I forget to mention I also excell at breaking brats?"

He let that hang in the air for a moment with a low, throaty chuckle and then his tone turned a bit more serious.

"I looked over your SRP as well. We have a great deal in common. Not only kink-wise. Though that I will not relay in a public place.

Why, is the rum gone again?" He teases trying to quote pirates of the Caribbean in a round about way...
Soon a fizzing glass of coke is laid on the bar and with a smile, the would be barkeep elf slides it to fd. "Here you are, "one virgin rum and coke." A playful smile. "Not that you aimed those comments at me, but I've always found you to be good company,"

Scoops up the glass and raises it.

"Skal!"

He laughs and winks.

"Sorry, watching too much Vikings. I've always enjoyed your company too my friend. We tend to have a lot of the same friends too. That cannot be a coincidence."

Laughs, "never seen that, maybe should check it out."

"Yeah that is true. Never thought of that, that is pretty neat. Have to think on that." Lifts his own glass.

((Apparently, when I say "nap" it means passing out for 3 hours... I'm sorry to anyone who may have been waiting on me to respond to them. I'm back for a good chunk of time. Will post a proper reply once I get some caffeine in me.))

(Sleep is an important function! Trust me, I spent 6 years not really getting any. I remember that particular hell.)

 

[sharingfantasies]

LOL at all you young'uns thinking you are old. I am surrounded by a bunch of kids.

Naps are good.
