Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - GaelicWarlord - 07-11-2010
Revanoth overlooked Celgad closely, the Rogaedyn preparing to depart down the alleyway, and he approached the younger highlander. "...Hold on." He said quietly, the two highlanders began to get the attention of the guards who had been interrogating the others, and it would not be long before more touble brewed. Celgad began to shake his head at Revan, "What the hell are you doing?!" The younger highlander exclaimed, "We need to go!"
Revan's cerulean eyes rested upon Celgad, he stood there for a long moment... too long, studying the man's eyes as the militia men began to close in on them slowly and with caution. "I've had a change of heart, Celgad. I don't believe my meeting with Lengalad will be recieved to warmly by him. Instead, you will bring him to me." Celgad's expression became bitter and he replied venomously. "...thats not how it works, Revan. You want to meet with him, you come in under our watch."
"Mind your tongue, young one..." Revan said as he approached Celgad closer, his sword still at his side. "...your brother will come, and you will play a bigger part in this game than you will ever understand." Revan rested his left gauntleted hand upon Celgad's shoulder, what seemed a gesture of kindness for a moment, sub-sequentially raising the tip of his nodachi towards the center of the young highlander's chest cavity. He thrusted the blade through Celgad's heart, pulling him into it with his other hand. Celgad began to gasp for air as cold steel met with his flesh, his eyes resting upon Revan with confusion of his unforeseen betrayal. As Celgad began to collapse, Revan caught him in his arms, and slowly lowered the highlander to the ground, holding his head in his lap for a moment, looking down into Celgad's eyes.
"W....why... Revan?" The young highlander gasped, coughing up blood, all life within him almost instantly after fluttering away.
Now the Militia had completely surrounded Revan, shouting orders to him to stand down and drop his weapon, all that were unheard from his ears.
"...Because... all things come to an end..." Revan whispered as he raised his hand and grazed it down Celgad's face, closing the young highlander's eyelids.
Revan did not listen to the orders as they were made, but he did not resist either as a group of three or four moved in and pulled him away from Celgad's corpse. The Rogaedyn watched what had taken place, dark eyes resting upon Revan with a menacing glare, but they did not dare to interfere while the militia was upon them. They turned disappearing into the darkness of the alleyway as Revan was held down against the ground by five or six militia-men as they shackled him and began to drag him off. Revan's eyes finally rested upon Kain just before he was drug off out of sight, and a rare sickly grin curved on the corner of his lips silently, as the militia began to drag Revan off away from the scene of the crime. One-Eye would soon hear about this, and the war that would spark between Revan and Lengalad would soon begin.

Croix nodded to his new companion and made his way over to the ranger who was now within his sights, tending to her hawk. With the well-dressed woman on his arm, he placed a hand softly on the ranger's shoulder.
"My friend, my name is Croix Reinard. Your companion has agreed to the wisdom of leaving before people start asking too many questions. I have a place we can go until all this blows over...would you care to accompany us? It would do us well to disguise our part in all this." Croix was interrupted by a heavy blow to his back, sending him stumbling forwards. He straightened himself, not bothering to turn around. He knew that particular blow. Not an attack, but a greeting from one who didn't know his own strength. "Hello, Wandering Lion. I see the runner found you." The hulking Roegadyn sea wolf behind Croix let out a bellowing laugh, obvious muscles under his loose-fitting shirt shaking as he did so.
"She did a'that mate! An' I come rushin' me way up 'ere t'find ye flirtin' wit' one pretty young thing wit' an'o'er one on ye arm alre'dy!" His accent was very thick, dropping letters from words without a forethought. He was quite difficult to understand unless one paid close attention, or was familiar with his speech pattern. "I reckon ye been payin' attention ta t'Cap'n if ye be able t'pull this one off!" Croix sighed deeply and shook his head, turning to face his friend while not releasing the woman from his arm.
"Wrong as usual, my friend. As you can tell, there was quite a bit of excitement here tonight. These two fought well alongside me and I've offered them sanctuary for the time being." Wandering Lion nodded.
"Aye, well Ty's off takin' care o'business so's I ain't seein' 'im objectin' any time soon. 'sides, e' ain't the type t'turn down a pretty lady or two now, is 'e?" Wandering Lion let out another bellowing laugh. "Me name's Wanderin' Lion, ladies. Quartermaster o' the Phoenix Flame, but I reckon' Croix 'ere 'as told ye all about us by now, eh? Well, c'mon! Ain't no time t'lose!" He turned to the ranger and offered her his arm, not noticing the vicious glare Croix shot him.

Doc watched the scene unfold and watched as "Wandering Lion" entered the scene. "Hmm..." he rubbed his chin in thought. "Well this certainly saves me a trip." Doc appraoched the small group. "Excuse me my large hulking friend." He called out to Wandering Lion. "I dont suppose you could do me a favour could you?" Doc produced a small playing card from his pocket and handed it out to the the large Roegadyn. "You wouldn't be a chum and hand that to your captain would you? I would do it myself but he is proving an elusive one to find. Always sailing here and there, so very hard to pin down you seafaring folk."
Doc smiled and nodded in the direction of the two women. "Forgive me I seem to have forgotten some... well I'll get around to everyone eventually." Doc turned back to the Roegadyn. "So? What do ya say? If it helps I can offer a few coins for your trouble, but it is important it gets to him."
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Camille - 07-11-2010
Stiffening slightly at the roegadyn's words, Ryelle's eyes narrowed faintly but the smile never left its place.
"Of course you're a pirate... With the Phoenix Flame no less. How lovely. Perhaps your hideaway will have a view of the entire port then." She glanced at the ranger almost apologetically, then raised a brow to the odd looking hyur. "I'm positive you've nothing for me, sir, though I'm sorry you've forgotten the rest of your cards. Do excuse us but we must get moving before guards or anyone else decides to approach."

She took a long pause before answering, looking around first, then looked to the Elezen, "Loki." She said swiftly.
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Siben - 07-11-2010
By the time the woman had given her response Siben had already pulled his book of legends and lore out again, thumbing back to the section he left off on as he tried to flag down one of the employees who had either returned or not fled the blaze.
"Hello?" he jingled some gil, "Drinks? You are still open yes?"
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - foxfirestorm - 07-12-2010
"Loki huh?" He grins at the name. "That seems like a nice name." The Duskwight was at least trying to be nice, even though it seemed the woman was not the talkative sort.
"You remind me of a friend I once had, he wasn't very talkative. He once told me I talked to much, but I mean, how can you learn anything about anyone if your not willing to talk right?"
Vaelyn then took notice of the book that got brought out and blinked his eyes a few times, "..nice book.. what is it?"
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Shamadconde - 07-12-2010
((damnit))
Shamad trudged back the Bismark. If everyone was going to be there to gawk at the damage, he might as well too. He walked through the hole where doors had been and sat at a table, muttering to himself as was his habit. He didn't know what to say to anyone so he didn't say anything. As his mother had always said "It's better to be quiet and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and confirm it."
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Siben - 07-12-2010
"Hmwhat?" Siben looked up at Loki and Vaelyn, "Oh! it's called 'Myths and Legends of Eorzea.' Someone on the boat over here gave it to me to read. It's actually rather interesting...I doubt any of it is true though. Too bad..."
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Shamadconde - 07-12-2010
Shamad's ears pricked at the name of the book. Myths and legends? Sounded perfect to him. It looked like the perfect thing for him to look into. But how to get himself into the conversation?
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Tyriont - 07-12-2010
Croix turned his death glare from Wandering Lion and gave an embarassed smile to the woman on his arm.
"I suppose there's no point in hiding it any more. I did give my true name. But yes, my...friend" he shot Wandering Lion another glare "and I are both members of the Phoenix Pirates. I serve as First Mate. The offer still stands, however...and you would be correct, we have quite the wonderful view. You are also quite accurate that we should depart with haste. Will you be joining us, my hawk-loving friend?" he asked of the other ranger as he started down a side street, indicating for her and Wandering Lion to follow him.
While this exchange was happening, Wandering Lion himself was examining the playing card curiously. "Aye, mate...I'll get it ta 'im...dunno what e's gonna make o'it. An' ye ain't needin' t'worry about coin, if it be imp'rtant tha' it gets t'Ty that be good enough f'r me. 'course, 'e ain't around now but ye be more'n welcome t'come back wit' us an' wait." With that, Wandering Lion patted the man on the head roughly and turned to follow Croix.
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - foxfirestorm - 07-12-2010
"Myths and Legends?" Vaelyn asked back to Sibean, "That sounds actually really interesting. They say within the Myths one can always find the truth. Though the truth can be sometimes hard to see through the veil of those who do not know where to look."
He urrs softly, "Of course, sometimes also trying to seek such things can lead you into a heap of bloody trouble."
Vaelyn then closes his eyes for a moment in thought, "I've heard stories where men would go seeking myths and legends, in trying to prove them true. Some of them returned in finding nothing, other returned seeming reborn by their travels, and others, well.." He opens his eyes, "They never returned."
"It would be an adventure to prove them real, but I sometimes wonder, if its best to leave such things alone and forgotten. Followers, after all, should never walk over the footprints of giants."
The duskwhite then cants his head to the side, "So.. what do the book cover, any form of creatures like winged beasts?"
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - ArmachiA - 07-12-2010
Loki raised an eyebrow at the conversation, looking at the talkative Elezen as he talked about people going after Myths, "Half the fun is not knowing if your coming back, I'm sure." She replied flatly.
Re: Arrival at the Bismarck [Open] - Siben - 07-12-2010
"Winged beasts?..perhaps...but I haven't come across any yet. Actually I keep reading over this one section about a legendary sword..."
