XUB 3-Sept. 15.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:59 pm

Rachel had quietly slipped out of Xub 2, not wanting to deal with the drama any longer. And, in any case, I had an previous appointment. she thought, racking the balls on the pool table.

Con was a little late, due to his meeting with Lumis and Ms McManus, heading straight for the bar.

"Evening Red."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:08 am

"Heya Con." Rachel said, smiling at him "One round, looser pays?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:14 am

"I need a shot or three first." Con replied, ordering the first round of tequila. "I just got through meeting with Lumis, Morrigan and some sorcerer Lumis found."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:18 am

"Yeah, I've heard there was some weird shit going on." Rachel said, walking over to stand next to him.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:18 am

"You know what a redcap is?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:20 am

"Some sort of a fairy, right? Iron boots and a red cap soaked in blood?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:21 am

"And a bad attitude, yeah. I had three drop in for dinner last night."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:23 am

"And?" Rachel asked, sounding surprised.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:24 am

"They were mad at me for some reason. Something to do with Badb Catha and a 6th century wizard."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:26 am

"Ok" Rachel said, taking a sip of her beer, "Now you've lost me."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:27 am

"Pull up a pew, I'll try and lay it out for you." Con replied, down his first shot and ordering another.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:34 am

"I'm all ears." Rachel said, taking a seat on the barstool.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:36 am

"Alright, how much do you know about the Morrigan?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:39 am

"I assume you mean the goddess?" Rachel said, and then continued "Just that she was a triple goddess, and all three aspects were associated with battle and death."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:48 am

"That's one belief, certainly. Depending on what you read, Morrigan was either one of 3 sisters, Morrigan, Badb and Macha, or Morrigan was the collective name for Badb, Macha and Nemain. There are other names mentioned as members of the trinity, but those are the most common."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:52 am

"Ok, so what does this have to do with you?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:58 am

"That I don't know. One of the redcaps said I knew about 'the Battle-Crow's son', whatever that means. Incidently, Ms McManus had a visit from a bean sidhe earlier that accused her of stealing the Phantom Queen's feather cloak." Con stopped, looking thoughtful.

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:22 am

Zoe, subtle as ever, clomps her way into XUB 3. She digs around in a little backpack/purse for some cash and calls out to flag the 'tender and get a drink. She looks over to Con and Rach and offers them a playful salute, "Coupla long faces for the party bar, what's up?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 11:11 am

"Lions and tigers and bears." Con replied. "Except with murderous dwarves, evil spirits and Celtic goddesses."

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 11:19 am

"I guess we're really not in Kansas anymore."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:00 pm

"Does anyone know why everyone in the other bar is ready to kill each other?" Ryan asked as he walked into Zub 3 after deciding Zub 2's atmosphere wasn't exactly to his liking.

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:23 pm

"I remain blissfully ignorant," she replies to Ryan with a cheery grin, "Maybe someone insulted a soccer team or something."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:31 pm

Ryan smirked, waving at the other two. "Well, I know that for once, I'm not the source of the problem, so I think I'm just going to leave well enough alone. By the way, a drink for a good showing today?" he asked as he approached the bar.

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:34 pm

"I like the way you think." She slips up onto a bar stool to gain some height, "What's your drink of choice?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:39 pm

"Given that it's not late yet, I don't want to burn out early, and it actually tastes good over here? I'm starting with a beer. What's your poison?"

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:43 pm

"I'm a bit of a lightweight with booze, a beer sounds good to me. As long as it's not Guiness, that stuff is revolting."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:52 pm

"So keep it beer, and don't bring it on too fast. Got it," Ryan said with a smirk. He relayed the order to the bartender.

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:58 pm

"I'm still amazed you can carry people when you fly. Don't you get tired?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:09 pm

"Sometimes," he admitted. "I can't carry anyone long if they're too heavy. But it's something I practiced a lot back in high school, so I can keep up with someone light for a long time."

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:13 pm

She nods and takes a sip of her beer, "Well, Anita and I are pretty light, I guess, so that worked out well. The day was pretty brutal though, I'm gonna have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:23 pm

"Well, if you're that beat, I won't keep you down here too late," Ryan said, trading his card for their drinks from the bartender.

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:25 pm

"How generous of you," she glances over with a smirk, "but I should be fine until I stop moving. Then it'll be hard to start again."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:52 pm

"Well, you do realize what the obvious solution to that is," Ryan said innocently. "So how does this all compare to the Academy? I never got a chance to stop in there and look around."

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:57 pm

"Much bigger, cooler toys, stranger accents. Seems a bit more lax, but that might just be the vain hope that age brings maturity. I know the Headmistress was pretty strict about inter-student fighting and such, and we didn't get nearly as much of the sort of training you and Anita showed today. What about you, how's it compared to New York? Or the Avengers, I guess."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:22 pm

"The setup is pretty much like New York is, just with a lot more people. And without teachers being able to put me on detention for drinking. Oh, and the fact that London kicks New York's ass any day. Avengers?..." He hesitated, thinking. "Well, here I actually have a chance. There, a training session is a giant exercise in 'Let's remind Ryan that everyone in this building can take him to school in their sleep.'"

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:40 pm

She laughs, "Well, after today, I can sympathize with that. And yeah, London is pretty damn awesome. I've gotta find someone to hit up the art galleries and such soon."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:58 pm

Anita heads into the bar and snags a beer before taking a seat by Ryan and Zoe. "Hey team." She's wearing a spandex top and capri pants, her hair is up and braided, wet as if she's just had a shower.

by **Zoe Walker** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:00 pm

Zoe's wearing a new skirt and a t-shirt, crossed suspenders over her shoulders and a couple of straps/cuffs around her upper arms. She grins to Anita and lifts her glass in a toast, "Hey sharpshooter."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:03 pm

Anita grins hugely, clinks glasses. "I gotta admit, it's fun ta finally get ta use my guns in action, even if it's just trainin'."
