[PP-NK-F4] A Fearsomely Odd Trio (Endilix, Kooh)

[Loreley 0]

Loreley's teeth chattered as she shook violently in the cold. Coming to the fourth floor was always a mistake. She never could fathom the idea that people actually enjoyed this floor. She had hoped to find a quest, or something to do, and was met, as usual, by a chill that reached her core. Her teeth made the kind of music that she didn't like. A rattling sound that reverberated through her skull. Yet, she found herself listening to the odd melody it created. It took her mind away from the freezing atmosphere surrounding her. Either that, or she was going to die from frostbite and she had just begun to go numb. She wasn't really aware enough to make an educated decision on the matter.

She may have been okay if she had decided to make her way during the day, but she was a night owl. Ultimately, she decided that it would lead to her undoing, here in this moment. But there had to be someplace open this late at night. As she shuffled through the snow, unsure of where the snow ended and her legs began, and not even certain that her feet were still attached or little more than ice cubes, she heard the breaking of glass and a cursing from a nearby shop with only a fire lit inside. She walked up to it, and tried the door to see if they were open, only to find it locked. For a moment, in her chilly stupor, she had considered knocking, but how impolite would that be at this hour? Even if the occupant was clearly awake. She sighed, watching as the cloud of warm air was engulfed by frost and carried away on the light breeze.

But next door, there was a bar. Now bars were always open, and they had booze. Booze was good for warming the soul. "The F-f-fearsomely S-strong C-c...." her mouth tried to trace the words on the sign hanging above the door, but her teeth chattered too much to really process them out loud. And so she just made her way inside, listening to the door creak as she peered inside, dragging a decent helping of snow in behind her. "H-hello...?" she softly inquired, before slipping the rest of the way inside. She looked around quickly, judging her surroundings. A bar, as expected, and a couch and table. Not much in the way of extravagance. No music played, no games sat waiting for players. It was quaint, but admittedly boring. Loreley sighed, the desire for warmth and drink was stronger than her desire for entertainment. "Is this place open?" she inquired out loud, hoping it would draw out the bartender.

Endilix had never really prepared his bar for customers, and he was in the back practicing his cooking when suddenly the bell above his door gave a light ding. Curious, Endilix looked out through the window between the bar and his kitchen, only to see a raven haired woman peeking her head through the doorway. She shivered violently, and didn't appear dressed or prepared for the cold at all. He blouse appeared thin and silky, not thick and warm, and to match she just had a pair of jeans. She wandered in and asked if the bar was open, and Endilix's eyes practically lit up as he smiled and quickly put his pan down and made his way out to the bar area. The heavy wooden door that separated the two rooms swung with a loud creak, and Endilix beamed as he shouted, "Welcome, to the Fearsomely Strong Cider!"

Endilix quickly grabbed a rag and wiped down the bar, before leaning on it with a smile, "So, what can I do for you this fine evening?"

The light, rhythmic crunching sound of snow underneath heavy boots rang in Kooh's ears as she crossed the frozen tundra of the fourth floor. Despite her bare legs and forearms beginning to tingle from the icy winds that grazed her skin, the blonde felt as accustomed to the wintery environment as she was able. The largest downside of the level was her own miserable sense of direction, often leaving the girl lost far away from the main city. Luckily, a dark-haired player presented herself as a free ticket back to civilization, as Kooh trailed well behind Loreley, keeping herself as obscured as possible in the cover of night.

Eventually, the faint glow of city lights, as few as they were, marked her destination. With a satisfied smile on her lips, the blonde observed a bit longer as the raven-haired player seemed to be looking for an establishment that was open at this time of night. Tapping thoughtfully at her chin, Kooh came to the decision to continue tailing the girl, as the thought of a warm drink was too appealing to pass up.

Rubbing idly at her arms, Kooh hurriedly closed the distance between them once the girl had disappeared behind a heavy wooden door. As did the girl before her, Kooh glanced up at the sign overhead that advertised "The Fearsomely Strong Cider" and cocked an eyebrow. Giving herself a dismissive shrug, Kooh followed suit and pushed at the heavy wooden door. if she hadn't yet moved farther inside, Loreley was sure to be given a solid bump from the blonde's entrance, and upon realization of her presence the blonde would offer a quick, "Ah, my bad!" before slipping inside and surveying the bar's interior. A red-haired bartender offered an eager smile, and Kooh returned a grin, welcoming a warm atmosphere.
