Chapter IV
Aendar sighed, seeing Manar serving drinks to everyone and putting all of it on his tab. After a while he twinkled slightly and started his slow stroll towards the bar. Once he fot there, DepthBlade turned to him and finally spoken.
\"So. A Nolthrir, eh?\"
\"As you can obviously see.\" Aendar rolled his eyes. \"Or are you the blind dude?\"
\"I don\'t know what you\'re talking aboot, eh?\"
\"The blind dude? Guy that walks around sniffing women\'s hair, saying it\'s necessary for him to recognise them?\" Aendar shook his head.
\"Oh, you mean Tybalt, eh?\" DepthBlade grinned broadly.
\"Yeah, whatever.\"
\"Well, it\'s true that Tybalt can\'t see, but that doesn\'t mean he wouldn\'t recognise your race, eh? His others senses are sharp as a spoon and just sniffing you would let him--\"
\"Who\'s your Klyros friend, DepthBlade?\" Suddenly Tybalt approached them.
DepthBlade blinked and an awkward silence replaced the conversation. After a while he spoke again. \"Soo... do you wet your bed often?\"
Aendar raised an eyebrow. \"Ok, that just has to be the worst Nolthrir joke I have ever heard...\"
\"Joke?\"
\"Gah!\" Aendar slapped his forehead. \"Manar, can you please pour me some wine?\" He turned to the bartender.
\"I\'m afraid I cannot do that.\" Answered Manar.
\"What? Why not?\"
\"There is already over 1000 circles on your tab right now... I can\'t serve you any drinks until you pay that back.\"
\"...The hell? I\'m going to kill Drak... How did you get such a big ammount anyway?\"
\"Well for one, Draklar was nice enough to give me a 200 circles tip for a good service.\"
\"...And you put the tip on my tab?\"
Manar nodded. \"He said he doesn\'t have that much at the moment.\"
\"...\" Aendar twinkled.
\"Well met, Manar.\" Murtagh joined the company by the bar.
\"Greetings.\"
\"Can I have a bottle of mead, please?\"
\"Sure.\" Answered Manar and started searching for a bottle of requested drink. After handing it to Murtagh, he scribbled something on a piece of paper.
Aendar glanced over to it. \"Wait, wait... Is that my tab?\"
\"Well, yes.\" Manar nodded.
\"But you said I passed 1000 circles and therefore can\'t buy anything anymore!\"
\"Yes!\" Manar sighed. \"I said -you- passed it, not Murtagh...\"
\"What\'s the difference? It all goes onto my tab anyway...\"
\"Of course.\"
\"So why do you still give them drinks and don\'t do so for me?!\"
\"Because they always paid back their debts so far, while you have an unpaid 1000 circles one.\"
\"...\"
\"Now now, no need to be grumpy about it. You should have thought twice before you offered to pay for everyone\'s drinks.\"
\"I didn\'t offer anything! It was Draklar who--\"
\"Manar?!\" Suddenly Draklar\'s shout could be heard from the crowd.
\"Yes?\" Manar turned in the direction of the voice.
\"Murtagh destroyed a table with his head!\"
\"Oh...\"
\"Do you think 250 circles will be enough for repairing cost?\"
\"Yeah, sure!\"
\"Great! You know where to put it!\"
Manar reached for the piece of paper.
\"...The hell? You\'re not going to put that on my tab, are you?\"
\"Why not?\"
\"I offer-- I mean, -Draklar- offered that I\'ll pay for all the drinks, but he didn\'t mention anything about destroyed tables.\"
\"True...\" Manar pondered for a while. \"Draklar! Only prices of drinks can be put on the tab!\"
\"Now he\'ll have to pay 250 circles...\" Aendar grinned. \"Suits him fine for getting me into this.\"
\"You\'re right!\" Answered Draklar. \"So let\'s say I asked for 250 bottles of finest mead and gave 250 circles for them. Oh, and put another 250 circles for a good service!\"
\"Sure thing, Drak!\"
Aendar slammed his head against the counter.
\"Do you realise we just stumbled upon Hydlaa plaza, the place filled with -many- people that are -very- likely to start shouting because of -anything- interesting we might do, therefore bringing attention of -all- the Game Masters online?\" Seytra muttered under his breath.
\"Yes I do. So?\" Zanzibar shrugged slightly.
\"So! Any attempt we might make in order to get out of the Planetrix will be done on the eyes of all the people gathered around here. Whatever you might think, that is -not- a good idea.\"
\"And I am the one to blame for that or something?\"
\"Well... yes!\"
\"Look, if you have something against me just take it to tells. There\'s no need to make it all public, as both you and me should already know.\"
\"Just listen. I asked you where we should go in order to log out from the Planetrix. You said we should go forward. And so we did, but does this in any way look like a good place to log out from the Planetrix?\"
\"No.\"
\"So do you see how it is you who brought us to this unpleasant and most of all dangerous situation?\"
\"No, because I wanted to turn left just after we passed the last home.\"
\"Then why didn\'t you say so?\"
\"I thought that this information might be unnecessary or maybe even prohibbited. Therefore I thought that maybe it would be better to just keep it for myself.\"
\"Prohibbited? Are you joking? How can information about where you want to go be prohibbited? And yes, I think it was rather necessary. In fact, I think that you didn\'t want to turn left in the first place, only say so now to hide your fault in the situation, which we now found ourselves in.\"
\"I never said this exact information might be prohibbited. I said so about informations that might be acquired in general. Also I think you are too suspicious of my motives. But if you want to discuss it any further, I think we should take it to tells.\"
\"What? But you said so about -this- exact information, not any other!\"
\"I said so about all the informations in general. If you believe it was any different, I think you just didn\'t read what I said.\"
\"But--\"
\"If you really want to keep this in a form of intelligent conversation, I advice you to read carefully what I\'m saying, instead of guessing everything and replying according to what you think I might say.\"
\"You -have- to be kidding...\"
\"Look, you have been proven wrong by numerous of my arguments--\"
\"Proven me wrong by numerous arguments? What are you talking about?\"
\"Well, you would know if you just had checked what I am saying. But if you aren\'t going to do so, then I believe you\'ll just make yourself look very unintelligent.\"
\"I can\'t believe you\'re being serious... This just isn\'t right\"
\"As I already said, me and...\" Zanzibar took a look around. \"Hey, you guy!\"
Some random person turned in their direction. \"lol me?\"
\"Yes, do you think that my friend Seytra here is wrong?\" Zanzibar asked him.
\"lol freebies?\"
\"There you go.\" He put a ruby on the ground. \"So?\"
\"lol Seytra ur wrong.\" The person ran off with the newly acquired ruby.
\"As I was saying, me and many other people proven you wrong with multiple strong arguments.\"
\"What other people?\"
\"This guy we just talked with.\"
\"What? He just said I\'m wrong and ran off! That\'s hardly making a strong argument!\"
\"You just weren\'t reading what we\'re saying, again.\"
\"You know what? This is stupid. I\'m going to go now and pass on this information from Grono. You, do whatever you want... away from me.\" Said that, Seytra walked away.
\"Now there is no need to flame me! You know you are just doing that because you lack any arguments to counter my own with. Also I can\'t believe you are bitter about it now!\" Zanzibar again took a look around, spotting some person staring at him. \"What, you have something against me? Take it to tells.\"
\"Why if it isnt zanzibar...\" Suddenly some other character approached him.
\"C-Count Drey?\" Zanzibar moved back a bit.
\"Senior Drey now. I haves... business with yous.\"
\"All right, this is seventh time I\'m getting banned for 30 days...\"
\"Noes! I wants to give you a gift... And ask you for something in return.\"
\"And that would be?\"
\"Eliminate Uni\'o.\"
\"I don\'t think I should--\" He glanced at the 100 slash dagger he was offered by Drey. \"Thank you.\"
\"My pleasure.\"
