TROLLSLUM CAFE XXIX: 1000% of Your Daily Drama

[Blank]

He smiles warmly.

Then he turns back to Adinan since they seem to be leaving him out. He does that hard to describe hand gesture that means tell me about yourself.

[Araiss]

Adinan tilted his head again since he was sort of confused by the gesture. What did Cirin want him to do?..maybe he wanted him to speak? That was probably it, Adinan gave a headnod and started to think of what he could say.



()}{ u/\/\...well I re/\[). I /\ls() like [)()ing puzzles /\n[) s()l\/ing ri[)[)les.

Probably best to leave everything out about the blood collecting and studying and things like that.

[Blank]

CIRRIN RUNFAR nods his head in interest and hovers the quill over the notepad to write something else.

But he can't think of anything to write immediately. This feels awkward. Usually he can just say whatever comes to the top of his head just to keep the conversation going.

[Overlard]

Yarrex overrides the awkward silence.

| So......+nyon- h-r- -v-r pl+y bl+ckj+ck b-for-? I h+v-. |

[Blank]

CIRRIN RUNFAR looks up with interest and shakes his head briefly.

[Araiss]

This conversation was not going so well, it was probably more awkward than his conversation with Salom. And then Yarrex spoke..it broke the silence but Adinan still felt out of place.



N(), I }{/\\/en't.

[Overlard]

| Oh, w-ll you should m--t this f-llow c+ll-d M+rtis. H- c+n pl+y so much bl+ckj+ck. I tot+lly won +lmost +ll of th- winnings th- l+st tim- I pl+y-d +g+inst him +nd som- oth-r guys. |

You severely regret not doubling down. Alas, no turning back.

[SumiumOxide]

Erisal is still sitting there, clacking away at the keys on the computer.

Completely open for anyone to just jump in and sit on her lap or something.

[Blank]

He nods his head.

CIRRIN RUNFAR has met Martis. He was here not that long ago refereeing a fight.
He smiles.

[Araiss]

Sounds like gambling...Adinan's never really gambled before. He scratches his cheek a bit and takes another drink from his juice before looking around..seemed there was a greenblood to talk to, Adinan had pretty good luck talking to greenbloods. He then turned back to Cirrin and Yarrex.



/\/\/\y[3e I'll try it ()ut. I..t}{ink I'/\/\ g()ing t() t/\lk t() s()/\/\e()ne else t}{()ug}{..s()rry if I /\/\/\[)e t}{ings /\wkw/\r[)../\n[) it w/\s ni(e /\/\eeting y()u (irrin.

Then he gives a nod to both Yarrex and Cirrin, grabbed his fruit juice and walked over to where Erisal was.

/\}{..[)() y()u /\/\in[) if I sit }{ere?

[Captain Lhurgoyf]

Erisal is still sitting there, clacking away at the keys on the computer.

Completely open for anyone to just jump in and sit on her lap or something.

Well, Mazeni would do that, but she just woke up after hugging her matesprit and that'd just be awkward, even if Nyftie isn't awake. Plus, the thought of sitting in Erisal's lap brings back unpleasant memories.

So she just walks up to her. After all, it's someone she knows who doesn't look busy, and Mazeni could use something to do.

"WORKIN' On something"

[Overlard]

Yarrex waves goodbye as Adinan walks off, then turns to Cirrin.

| Y-+h, M+rtis is cool. How is -v-rything with +-qu+ going? W-ll, I should hop-. |

[Pootporri]

i wonder who i'm bricking today~

And then she was here.

[Blank]

CIRRIN RUNFAR nods back at Adinan and watches him leave.

He turns back to Yarrex and slumps his shoulders before writing.

Was having a conversation about the hemospectrum with Aequa and it upset her and she ran off. Things haven't been the same between us since. CIRRIN RUNFAR is pretty confused by it.

[Overlard]

| Som- trolls +r- lik- th+t. Som- do not lik- th- h-mosp-ctrum, som- do. I p-rson+lly l-+n tow+rds n-ith-r sid-. Sph-x+, on th- oth-r h+nd, h+t-s it. But w- still g-t +long d-spit- th- slight diff-r-nc-. Wh+t -x+ctly confus-s you +bout it? |

[MostlyHarmless]

Alright yOu slaaaaags!!! Which One Of yOu is the crazy tart that's been handing Out brickings like they were pOlO mints?

Well I guess that answers Nutela's question.

[Pootporri]

what a coincidence, i like both brickings and polo mints! are you looking for some kind of trade? i've never actually had someone willingly take one, but there's a first time for everything!

Well, I guess that answers Aaron's question.

[Blank]

He looks confused and a bit helpless. He begins to write.
But then he spills his ink! And no napkins at the tables.

He looks at Yarrex apologetically for being so unbalanced and gets up to search nearby tables for more napkins.

[Strider]

And in walks Ventus. He walks into the cafe and looks around a bit, then waves hello to a random troll (In this case Nutela).

Horrin just sits there doing nothing.

Endria finishes his first mug of ale and stops drinking. That's quite enough for now, he doesn't want to get to drunk. Instead he takes out his laser gunsword out of his GunswordKind Strife Specibus and starts polishing it.

[Overlard]

Yarrex shrugs and starts cleaning up this monstrous mess. INK EVERYWHERE

[MostlyHarmless]

Fraid nOt darlin'. NOw dOn't get me wrOng, I lOve casual viOlence as much as the next blOke, and I think yOu've dOne a lOt Of gOOd wOrk here. PrOblem is, yOu've made yOurself quite a few enemies. Quite a few well paying enemies.



NOthing persOnal. This is just business.

[Strider]

Aaaaand then it looks like a fight is about to ensue. Ventus takes a seat and watches to see what happens.

Coincidentally, Horrin also hears the conversation taking place, although only brief snippets of it. He turns and looks, having heard enough of it to assume that a fight was about to occur, and excited gleam in his eye once more.

[Blank]

CIRRIN RUNFAR is running about all over the cafe collecting napkins.


He left the notepad at the table, of which some parts are still readable between ink blobs

CIRRIN RUNFAR doesn't like the hemospectrum but he is okay with it. She's more r███████ █████████ █████████entirely. CIRRIN RUNFAR starting to think this isn't even about a ██████████ ████████. Maybe it █ something else but what CIR

[Pootporri]

Nutela doesn't wave to Ventus. She's too busy pointing at the first post.


well, that has to be record time!~ i usually atleast exchange a few lines before i brick someone. and a knife, at that! this should be easy!

Nutela strides ri~iiight up to Aaron, and then:

[Monster X]

Beelze walks in, wearing her pitch black dress as usual. Her lower face is covered by a bandana, as usual.

She sits calmly at a table and stares around to see if anyone's dead.
