[STOP I JUST DON'T WANT TO ICLY FORCE EVERYONE TO GO WITH EUNHYUK BUT ALSO STAY WITH ME
Eunhyuk heads in with the others, and maybe he has some general idea of what a tavern would be like, but whatever was in his head pales in comparison to the real thing. The volume, music, the amount of people. It's such a stark contrast to the freezing air from outside. And also theoretically, it should be easy to slip in unnoticed with so many people, right?
Except the Antithesis of Arthur chooses this exact moment to look at all three of them. Well, maybe that's fine?]
THE ANTITHESIS OF ARTHUR HELP. yeah, that's what they're seeing here. shu ignores scarecrow mumbling "cold, cold, cold, cold" even as he walks into the tavern and looks around before they are beset upon by the biggest extrovert in yellow he's seen.
wow.
yeah eunhyuk can handle this one, he's definitely equipped. ]
sitting down in the spot left open by the just defeated challenger and sticking his arm out. (hope to god he can either roll using dex or cheat his way through this) ]
[ the aforementioned yellow guy looks thrilled when lucien comes right down to his table?! he beams. also completely unbothered by his purple. ]
Whoa-hoh, alrighty there, pardner! [ to shu, the yellow guy says: ] Just a way to fight off that blasted chill, right? Good friends, good food, good drink - I'll getcha in two shakes, if you wanna try, too.
[ and after that, the yellow guy's attention returns to lucien, and scans lucien's face, like he's looking for something. he's awfully perceptive, for such a doofus - and then he smiles, closer to enchanted than utterly gleeful delight as he says, a little breathless: ] ...Whoa. You've got a real aura round ya, huh? Like the kinda guy who's goin like an arrow for his goals, fired right outta' a crossbow.
... I like the cut of your gib, friend. [ the yellow guy rolls up his sleeves, adjusts his dorky little hat, and then sets his elbow on the table to join lucien's, taking his hand. ] Let's do this.
[ arm wrestling time. you may roll strength :)
shu and eunhyuk, you can support lucien or you can wander around! your choice. do what you wanna do funky little guys ]
[eunhyuk like yes i will support lucien by man standing awkwardly behind his chair the entire time,
he will take this reprieve of the yellow man not singling him out for arm-wrestling combat to survey the rest of the room. his attention is on the knights, but also for anyone dressed similarly to him, in those navy blue robes he saw earlier. if there is, then he'll approach.... if not, then he will head over to the nearest knight who doesn't look super inebriated yet.
for now, he looks at shu,]
I'll be right back.
[it's not splitting up if he is existing in the same room!!!!]
just watches the healer vanish as their twink tiefling rocks up to arm wrestle the man who (sisi voice) wants to fight god, i guess.
...
i want alli to live the dream and lose an arm wrestling match to partitio but if he shuffles his collar around and causes scarecrow to screech at just the right time to count as a distraction that's not any of my business. ]
[ important to me to remind everyone the cadence of this conversation is partitio's texan accent and luciens Irish one this is what every arthur and lucien conversation sounds like it is a nightmare its like dolly parton and hoizer in the same room ]
[ lucien your confidence is so brave. the yellow guy has a good, strong grip and nice, warm, calloused hands. he counts down nicely -
and then yeah, slams down lucien's hand in like .2 seconds.
the bird squawks at him a second later and the yellow guy yells, surprised, but it is too late. the damage is done. that is going to smart. lucien, the table cracks under your hand with the force of the armwrestle own.
the crowd starts going absolutely batshit nuts because of course they do, hootin and hollerin. the yellow guy lets go, looking up at the bird and muttering - mahina? - before he shakes his head and immediately looks like, so apologetic. ] Ah...hahaha, guess I didn't know my own strength! You alright there, pardner...?
[ in the meantime, eunhyuk, who is a normal and sane person, decides to not arm wrestle and instead slips through the crowd. as he makes his way around, he won't see any clerics, but he will see a smaller cluster of knights in a corner. one of them, black haired and wearing the maroon colored tabard, has his face down on a table.
the other one is blonde and wearing a blue tabard. ]
[ the blonde knight is rubbing the black haired knight's back and saying something to him, and he looks up when he realizes there's another presence in the room. ]
No, no, it's okay, Ort... - Oh. Can I help you with something?
[Eunhyuk almost turns around at the sudden explosion of sound behind him -- which immediately makes him very concerned, which means he stops awkwardly in his tracks which is probably why this very handsome hunky blonde knight looks up and notices him at the exact same time,
well. he'll just ask a few questions and then run back to the others, hopefully that explosion of noise was because Lucien won (haha yeah!)]
I couldn't help but notice earlier -- [no actually he noticed just now,] but is your friend alright?
[he looks at the knight with his face flat on the table, then at the blonde]
I can help him if he needs healing.
[the sheer hilarity of offering healing when lucien is having his ARM SNAPPED is something Eunhyuk will be very distressed about later, but for now he is here]
Edited (why do i keep using the same lineface icon) 2024-03-25 22:43 (UTC)
[ yeah from over in his corner eunhyuk will probably just hear the loudest crack of wood and irishly yelling and then the crowd goes wild. HE'S A DEX BASED FIGHTER OKAY he's storming off to sulk about this for a minute but he'll wander back once shu sits down ]
[ partitio already looks so worried after lucien when he starts to get up - he's telling the crowd to calm down a little bit, even though they're all laughing, and he looks relieved when he comes back...? he can have a big sheepish smile. ] Haha... whoopsie. I, ehh, listen, we can talk 'bout it when we're done, lemme buy ya a drink.
[ but then he has a new challenger!! the yellow guy returns his attention to shu. you guys will arm wrestle the hell out of this man - he puts his elbow back on the table and takes shu's hand, eyes flicking up to his ears. ] Aw - a beastling, huh? You're way far from home, buddy! Awright, let's see what we can do. Ready! One, two...
Three! [ this time, there's much more of a struggle. it seems that shu has won the manliest twink of all (twunk) award... because after a few moments of struggle, bang! he manages to get partitio's arm down! the crowd starts to lose it and partitio laughs, big and bright. ] Hooey, you got an arm on ya! I yield, I yield. Good match, pardner! Lemme buy y'all both a drink.
[ and then, across the way... ]
[ the hunky blonde knight looks eunhyuk up and down. he looks - surprised? and then bows his head more politely in greeting. ] Oh - an inquisitor? Um, thank you, inquisitor. I... he's alright, he's just... well...
[ there's a hiccup from the table. it could either be a drunk hiccup or a sob. ]
... He's a little drunk, I think. It'll wear off! But, thank you for offering... what brings you to Stormhail, Inquisitor? [ he straightens up a little. looks at his friend. straightens up a little more. ] The Sanctum Knights welcome you! Er, well, I do. Ahaha...
[THE LOUDEST CRACK OF WOOD... IRISH YELLING..... HELP.
Eunhyuk has a poker face at all times, so his alarm only rises internally from within. On the outside, he looks very calm... like a...n inquisitor would? Yes.]
Thank you... [he looks at this blonde knight like ?_? NAME PLEASE? before continuing] Sir Knight.
[nailed it. give him a name or he will be called sir knight forever perhaps]
I'm here on an urgent task from the Church, unfortunately. I'm looking for someone, though I don't know how long it's been since she might have passed through here. [...] Have you seen any suspicious individuals of late?
[he is trying so hard to larp a fantasy detective man from an isekai he saw once]
[ it was a worthy challenge. but wow, the catboy twink won. who saw that coming? ]
We'll call it beginner's luck.
[ he's not going to say no to the drink, but whether or not he drinks it at all is up in the air. he'll take a moment to glance at lucien who is sulking? is done sulking? somewhere inbetween? before looking back to partitio. ]
Actually, I was wondering if you've seen anything weird around here recently. A woman acting on edge, maybe asking about passages out of the town?
[ partitio grins good naturedly at the group of guys surrounding arm wrestling, giving up his seat to someone else who wants to try, and the nods. he hops right up and then sweeps through to find a little table, waving down the bartender to order them a round of beers. ]
C'mon round, fellas! Name's Partitio, by the way. Yours? [ please be nice and make friends.
though, when lucien brings up the question thing he does pause, tilting his head. ] Uhh... y'know, I've not been here that long. But now that ya mention it, there was one lady....Alpates? [ he pronounces this name as al- paytes. not al-pah-tes, which is how it is pronounced if you did not know that until now. ] Think that was her name. Real nice lady - definitely weirder than twelve teats on a piglet, but, nice lady. She wasn't trying to sell anything, though. That who you're looking for?
[ for eunhyuk! the knight straightens - almost puffs up, a little? he looks like, a little happy that they're having this conversation. this inquisitor is so... ]
Crick Wellsley, sir! It's an honor. [ he will introduce himself, and put a hand to his heart and then bow, because he is a good and nice boy. his expression then goes a little more serious. ] Suspicious individuals...? Not recently, but I only just returned to Stormhail after I ran into... [ ... ] ... your colleague...
[ the look on crick's face is briefly hard to describe. somewhere between like pleased and also extremely chagrined at the thought ]
...Anyway! Could you tell me anything about them? The Sanctum Knights are always more than happy to help an inquisitor.
[GAY THOUGHTS.................????? INQUISITOR X KNIGHT ROMANCE?????
Eunhyuk does not jump to these conclusions sadly, he can only jump to the one, that whoever the other inquisitor Crick has met is probably the reason why he's being so respectful(?) to this bandaged-glasses wearing twink. Thank you, Other Inquisitor.
Still, he hesitates for a moment, remembering Shu and Lucien's advice from earlier, then...]
...Her name is Alpates.
[does eunhyuk say it the right way? maybe the cleric in him helps with that,]
I don't have a physical description, only that she stole something from the Cathedral of the Order of the Sacred Flame. And that she should still be in town, last I heard.
[ shu glances over at eunhyuk, embarking on his isekai romance over there. maybe he has found his (sjm voice) fated mate in this snowy little town. and then looks back at the table with the beers. and partitio. ]
Shu. [ scarecrow can introduce himself, not that anyone else can hear him. scarecrow flaps his wings and hits shu in the face. it's probably (definitely) deserved. ]
... Alpates? [ he glances at lucien. who is still broken armed. ]
[ everyone gets a drink! partitio of the porcine nipples takes a drink of his, with a cheerful thankee kindly! to the barkeeper who he tips handsomely before he settles back in his seat, scratching his chin with his other hand. ]
Hooo...yeah, I think so. Recent-like. She's a real nice girl. Never hurt a fly, far as I know. Said she was here cause of some kinda mission? But Iunno much more'n that 'bout her. [ there's a beat, and he looks worried. ] ...She gonna be okay?
[ and then as i continue to use my crick icons ]
[ crick's expression changes a little, here - he looks geninuely surprised, then almost a little crestfallen. ]
...Alpates? But... wait, that couldn't be the same one Temenos... [ he frowns... and it appears maybe he's not sure if he should keep talking about this or not... do you want to try and push him for more information? path action time? ]
Eunhyuk continues not to think of any spicy thoughts like the above. Instead, his interest goes up when it's clear that Crick apparently has heard of the name? ...He's not sure what else he could say right now to make this hunky handsome blonde knight trust him, but --
he knows that he has something he could possibly use? A path action...... He will try to use Coerce...... (tears up)]
[ not the sad partitio icon. NOT EUNHYUK COERCING OUR SWEET CRICK. AAAAA.
...
huh. ]
Hopefully. We got word she was in the area and wanted to try and get in contact with her. Like you said, she's a bit... unpredictable. If we don't catch her now she might be halfway across the continent by tomorrow.
And then who knows when we'll get to see her again?
[ scarecrow 'caws' sadly. really setting the mood. ]
partitio frowns. he looks really thoughtful, genuinely considering this offer. ] ... Iunno if I could lead ya there, but I'd feel bad sendin' ya out on your own tryin' to find her. I could go with ya, maybe...
[ but he doesn't seem very convinced. perhaps because you do not have the required path action to bring him with you, lucien... also because you're his mortal enemy even though he's unaware.
but, ah! partitio snaps his fingers, rocking forward in his chair. ]
Tell ya what, though. I got a buddy over in the armory - he might know somethin'. He's got a real good ear for info. You'd know 'im when ya see him, but if ya do, tell 'em Partitio's looking for him, okay? And you can - [ he pulls out a silver coin, a leaf! and then flips in the air and catches it like a cool guy, then offers it to lucien and shu. ] - give 'em this to prove it.
We all gotta get back together soon, anyway.
Yes - the inquisitor of Flamechurch! We ... [ crick lights up in recognition, at first! and there's an pause as an annoying little voice that sounds like temenos in crick's brain goes "we met because of fate hahahahaha" and crick grimaces. ] ...worked together. A few times.
[ wow. anyway, beyond that, eunhyuk digs into crick's mind palace. he really tries to poke around in there and honestly the mention of temenos and eunhyuk's gentle, kind demeanor means he cracks like a fucking egg. (temenos voice) weak ] ... Well... [ he lowers his voice, scooting a little closer to him ] Truthfully... there has been some corruption within the Church. We don't really know where it's come from, but Temenos and - well, Temenos has been investigating it, I'm just learning to assist him. I know that Alpates has something to do with His Holiness, the Pontiff, may the Flame rest his soul, but... that's about all.
[ he looks up at eunhyuk, ducking his head a little - meek. perhaps you could say... sheepish. ] ...Don't tell anyone, though, alright? It is a secret of the utmost importance, but, if you are an inquisitor, then you must be trusthworthy.
[SWEET CRICK!!!! Eunhyuk leans in to accommodate Crick's lowered whispering kyah. Then he straightens, taking this in? ...Huh.]
...Thank you, Sir Crick. I need to get back to my duties, but... I do appreciate the help. [he wonders if the crick before him is real -- and if his words mean anything,
maybe not his words, but the person whose memory this could all be based on?]
May the Sacred Flame guide you.
[and he will head over to where he can see Lucien and Shu,]
