There's always room for me....if not then I'll make room or shrink down a bit.  

I'm surprized that they have my mug.

***Eve walks into the bar, pausing to let her eyes adjust to the shadows. Giving the patrons a quick once over she winks at Janus and walks to the bar and orders a bottle of cheep red wine.  Turning with her bottle and glass in hand she stops at Janus‘s table. ***  

“So Jay, you weren’t lying when you said this place would be interesting,“.  

***Without waiting for a reply, and perhaps already a little tipsy she raises her glass to the room at large***

 “Here's to the wine we love to drink, and the food we like to eat.
Here's to our wives and sweethearts...or husbands and lovers,  
Let's pray they never meet!”

***Eve smiles, empties her glass and pours another after she sits down”

   Hearing Janus’ offer and Eve’s toast, Gabriel wonders over to the table. He’s got a beer in one hand, which he sits on the table.
   “So Janus, is that stuff just good for you awakened types, or do us poor mundanes get some of it too?” So saying, Gabriel rolls up the sleeve over his right bicep. Janus and Eve hear a soft click as a compartment in the blackened arm pops open. Gabriel pulls out a small vial and the compartment closes. He rolls his sleeve down to cover it up again.
   “I’ve got a buddy of mine who works down near Fort Lewis. He’s got a pretty nice little shadow garage running down there. Of course, you know how motor-heads can get, refining fuel additives and making “special octane boosters” isn’t all they can cook up.”
   Gabriel pops the top off of the vial and pours a bit into his beer. Then holding it up, he offers the rest to Janus. “Wanna bit? Guaranteed to put hair on your chest.” He glances over to Eve. “Which is, of course, why I’m not offering any to you lovely friend.”

Interesting, yeah I said something like that.  Eve this  is Gabe, elf extrodinare and shoemat for Zone.  Those others are The Dragon, The King of the Twinkies, Mercy the troll and a couple I don't recognize.  I brought in some meat for cooking for Beau the bartender, hopefully we will have some good stuff.  

(pours a few drops from the flask into his mug)

Naw Gabe from what I hear its dangerous to non awakened because it forces ya to view the astral. As I immagine ya have no defenses for that I wouldn't suggest it.    Anyone up for a game of Toss the Dwarf?

(Jay pulls out a troll sized deck of handmade cards out of his breast pocket and start to shuffle)

   "Makes you view the astral, huh? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Literally. Next time you find yourself in the Big Easy, ask around about the Mardi Gras Museum Rave. It’s been a while, and they’re still talking about that. As for Toss the Dwarf, even this mundane little elf-boy knows better than to play cards with a pair of spell-slingers."
   Looking at Eve with his best grin, Gabriel says, “Don’t let the reputation fool you, I’m really a very nice guy. By the way, what’s you favorite color?"

“Toss the Dwarf“, Watching Janus incredulously, “that really a card game?”

“No worries Gabriel, I’m sure you are a very nice guy.  And in answer to your question my favorite color is Steely Ice Blue, why do you ask? “

*wanders into the bar, out of the perpetual rainfall of Seattle. He brings with him a can of soup, Soy-Bean, and a book. He sits at the bar, and passes the can to the bartender, who moves over to the coffee machine to get hot water. Then Kid, who only looks to be about sixteen, quietly eats his soup while reading his book "History of Comics: 1900 to the Present"*

   No sooner does Eve’s question pass her lips then Gabriel gets a far-away look in his eyes. As he appears to stare into space, the irises of his eyes begin a strange, almost cascade effect. I a few seconds the ripples pass, and the emerald green is replaced by a steely blue.
   “Oh, no reason,” he says, the grin never leaving his face. “Just curious is all.”
   “So, you have a set of dice instead of those cards, J???”

Pauses talking to Jester a bit (which looks very serious for some reason)

Hey, if Kid just walked in then who is that reading the comics in the corner? It has to be...........

Just stares for a sec then resumes the very serious & suspicious talking with Jester.

Then lets out another giggle and evil grin...hahahahhaa ;D
