C.A.R.P.S.

[Res Ipsa]

*Res chuckles at the woman, "Oh I doubt very much that there's anything you could teach me. Not anything i'd want to learn anyway..."

*He takes a drink, then wipes a bit of foam off his lips with the back of his hand.*

"It's cuz' you're diseased. Probably got fleas too. Wouldn't want you infecting the customers."

*He shrugs at Barnabas, "Interesting theory you got there, but seeing as how my partner is a Sylvani, that's probably not it."

[Edrial]

*looks to the energetic young lass from next to hawke*
Pardon me oh beautiful one, but what would your name be? There seems to have been a great deal of confusion surrounding you, and I would prefer using your name rather than the ambiguous references that have been flying around.

[NPC Sandy]

"My name is Feral, my good sir. And I do NOT have fleas. I bathe regularly and don't sleep on the ground or in dirty hay at all. And as for diseased...well, that is a matter of opinion, sir. Is your partner my cousin by any chance?"

*She turns away to bat her eyelashes heavily at Barnabus*

"Oh, that is lovely to hear. I much prefer coming to solutions instead of problems. Don't you?"

[Rowen Kane]

sssssshhheee is kitty face. meowwww

[Edrial]

*nods to feral*
A pleasure to meet you fine lady. There is a great debate as to whether you are a were creature or not, and how the affliction might have come to pass. If you wouldn't take offense, could I ask as to what the truth of the matter is? It seems much better to ask rather than speculate, which seems to be quite common around this tavern.

[Res Ipsa]

*Res grunts*, "Feral, eh? Isn't that what they call animals that go crazy in the wild and have to be put down?"

"Guess you could say that lycanthropy being a disease is an opinion. 'Course you could also say that rabies being a disease is an opinion. Most customers are going to have the opinion that they don't want to be scratched, or bitten by a whore who is going to infect them with a disease that will make them slaughter their family and friends. Bad for business."

[Kenric Sayne]

"Res, from what I had heard she was cursed, not infected. I don't think that curses are contagious, so there really wouldn't be a chance of spreading anything. Now that she's back though hopefully she can clear everything up for us."

[NPC Sandy]

"I don't pay attention to those that are disrespectful and undeserving of my attention."

*Turning to Edrial*

"You, sir, are uncommonly polite. I do so ever appreciate your tact. If you must know, I am a were-cat. When I was a littler Silvani, I attempted to curse a cat. I did not know it was considered bad luck. The curse bounced back upon me, and here you have it. I change on the full moon, and sometimes when it suites me. It is not like being a werewolf, and it could be cured, I am thinking. Is there anything else you'd like to know? Because you...you I would tell anything to."

*She smiles brightly*

"Still don't have that damned drink..Ziggy!! Dance for drink? Yes?"

[Edrial]

*smiling warmly at feral*
I am surprised that more people are not polite to such a beautiful young lass as yourself. Although I would suspect that it is due again to that same nonsense that people were speculating on about you. And if you would dance, I would happily pay for your drink, even if ziggy doesn't want to trade you the drink for the dance. Also, If you are in need of a strong arm to help lift the curse somehow, I would gladly lend mine to your cause.

[Kenric Sayne]

*Addressing Feral*

"Thank you for clearing some things up for us. I hope I haven't said anything to offend you and I apologize if I have."

[Bloodharp]

Mortimer wanders into the bar, bored from his most recent endeavor. He walks over to Maka, about to sit down when he spots Feral. "KITTY LADY!" He practically jumps at her as he runs up for a hug. "They say you dead and no play anymore. You no miss head though, so all okay now?"

His red tail swings happily, dusting the floor.

[AlexV]

Stag frowns from the corner. He looks at Feral, like she is a puzzle he is trying to solve.

[NPC Sandy]

"You did not offend. Him, on the other hand.."

*She makes a vague gesture in Res's direction, then embraces the fox*

"Hello again, little one. I was not dead, just gone off to the caravan. You people...perhaps you should not drink the water, eh?"

*Turning back to Edrial*

"Oh, you are an absolute dear. And I will happily dance. Ziggy and I, we had an arrangement with dancing for coin before. And I've no idea how to fix this...problem. If I had, I might have done it myself, yes? But if I do figure it out, you'll be the first I ask, sir. I promise"

[Edrial]

*edrial nods to feral*
If you need to find me, I camp with some Sylvani, with the large camp setup. Hard to miss us. Might I ask who your cousin is? Is it Ramon by chance?

[NPC Sandy]

"Yes, as a matter of fact, he is my cousin. Is he around? I do miss him so...no other could make so many townpeople dance"
