The Blade that Cuts Injustice

Dermud stared for a moment, then blinked. Finally a snicker escaped as the duo continued their antics. "Moogles..." he thought to himself, amused. "Well you're quite the interesting character," the Viera started, "What's left in there?" Normally he wasn't one to take a ruined town's leftover ale, but since his group killed each other he was left with much less in the way of supplies. |

Nicus managed a sitting position, from there he got up and instead of aiming for the precipitous window sill he tottered to the doorway and stood there, soaked in ale and attempting to look charming at what he assumed was a pretty Viera lass. "Well my lass," he began again, in a brogue he hadn't had before he'd started drinking, "We've ale, and wine. There be cheese and some day old bread. The meat in the kitchen is spoilt, but the salt hams and cured beef in the larder are fine, and there is fresh fruits and other delux- delict- delectale- good things to eat here as well. The larder is stocked, the cellar is full, the ale is cold and the wine is old. So coom on in!" |

It sounded like he'd hit the jackpot here. A good place to rest and plenty of free food. "I think I will do just that," Dermud said with a polite nod before stepping in, "Thank you." A bottle or two of wine for hopeful celebration after the job and some of the less-perishable items would make good additions to his pack. |

Jameson stook up shakily, and eyed the new person. A deep inhalation and she warked curiously under her breath. Anothe deep breath, she inhaled the newcomer's scent... "Wark!" "WOT!?" Nicus wheeled around to look at Jameson. "Wot do you mean she's got a short sword down there?!" Jameson rolled her eyes. "Wark. Wark!" "She's a man!" Immediately the Moogle eyed the shrouded and effeminate Viera. "No way!" Then he reached out and grabbed Dermud's crotch. "Well... this is suddenly quite awkward." Nicus finally said, the drunken slur and brogue noticably absent in his voice. |

Dermud looked down at the little moogle grabbing his crotch and blinked. Taking a step back, he addressed the little one. "That wasn't very nice," he said. |

"Oh...?" Nicus voice trailed off as Jameson stepped up, feathers ruffling menacingly as Nicus palm brushed the mithril hammer at his side. "You saw the barstool, and I'll do a lot more than toss you on the flagstones if it comes to it. Now tell me, boy, why yer traveling like this and why you don't correct a man when he mistakes you for a... lady." |

This happened sometimes. Though never like this particular time. Normally it was a bandit trying to get frisky with a pretty lady, so it didn't matter to Dermud what condition the person was left in after the inevitable following conflict. However, this person didn't have the air of villainy about him. This would be different. "I may look young, Mister Moogle," he replied, "but I'm definitely not one you should be taking lightly." His hand remained loosely on his Messer. "But I will tell you this," Dermud continued, "It's a lot more convenient for a male Viera not to wander out in the open as is. Life as breeding stock isn't all it's cracked up to be." |

Nicus smiled and Jameson's feathers stood down slowly. "No..." He allowed, taking his hand off his weapon, "I suppose not." The Moogle looked up at Dermud's face, studying it for a moment, before he offered his hand. "Names Nicus, my friend," He said, gesturing with his head towards Jameson, "Is called Jameson. She's a chocobo, ya know." |

His action was a reflection of the other's. "Dermud," said the Viera, taking the moogle's hand before giving the Chocobo a friendly nod. |

"A pleasure." Nicus said wryly. "Shall we dine?" |

A grin crept over the Viera's face, "Lead the way." |

Sendis resheathed her sword after she finished it and tapped Mac on the shoulder. "Here," she said, pulling a second whetstone out of her pack. "You'd best hurry. I think I see another town, more than likely abandoned." The woman then went back to work on her spear with the first whetstone. |

"'Another town', kupo?" Kupek repeated from within his armor, and he turned the mekka's head back and forth taking in his surroundings. "Where?" |

"Here. You'd best hurry. I think I see another town, more than likely abandoned." "Thanks," Micerhin smiled as he took the stone and palmed it as he shifted his rifle back out to re-sharpen (and hopefully un-dent) the blade attached to his gun's barrel. "You know, I never actually caught your name," Mac spoke to Sendis, running the stone across the blade. |

The hour or so following the trio's introductions were spent eating, drinking, and talking. Most of the talk involved the two trading stories of their travels with the chocobo frequently disputing how Nicus's adventures really went down. It was a fun time, and Dermud could tell he was going to like this moogle. But in the middle of another story, his ear pricked up. "One moment," he said, listening closely, "There is a cart approaching." |

Kailan sighed, looking to the other members of the party... "I suppose we'll meet a lot of abandoned towns, if this area is attacked by Goblins..." He looked to the sky... "At least you can fight them back... There are other situation where you simply are forced to leave..." |

"Isn't that kind of dangerous? I mean, if we're ambushed or something, you might lose that thing.." "I've got a few spares actually," She said. "My instructors also told me to be prepared." "Where?" "Just ahead down the road Kupek," Sendis said, as she continued to run the whetstone over the blade of her short spear. "And I'm Sendis Lancaster, Mr. Inexcusably long name," she said with a friendly nod to Mac. |

"Looks like we're at the point where people have started abandoning their homes to seek protection at the capital," Zereal mused as he looked at the lifeless village. "We really don't need to stop for supplies or anything," mused Laon, "but if anyone wants to take a minute to rest we can do that. Just don't take too long." |

"And I'm Sendis Lancaster, Mr. Inexcusably long name," Micehrin grinned in reply as he ran the whetstone over the blade of his rifle (boy, that was awkward to write), "Hey, I didn't choose the damned thing - and I couldn't even pronounce it until I was about 8." "But as I've said to everyone I've met so far," he shrugged as he ran a thumb slowly across the side of the blade to see if it was smoothing out, "Feel free to call me Mac." |

"Just ahead down the road Kupek," "Oh," Kupek said in mild embarassment. As he looked over, he could see the village in question. He quietly gulped to himself. "We really don't need to stop for supplies or anything, but if anyone wants to take a minute to rest we can do that. Just don't take too long." "I think that would be a good idea, kupo. Beside resting, we could at least take a quick look around and make sure there aren't any goblins hiding in here. That way they won't be able to come up from behind us, kupo." The mekka looked to the others for agreement. |

"That's a good idea..." Kailan nodded to Kupek, looking to the city... "Also we should search for anyone that decided to not leave the city, maybe we can learn more about that..." |

Nicus cocked his head, Dermud's comment interjecting in between the delivery of a particularly dirty joke and its even dirtier punchline. Jameson's head perked up and she began to track to the source of the noise. "Hm... I wonder who these people could be? Can you tell anything Jameson?" "Wark." "Hm, not much to say, eh?" |

Dermud continued listening as he moved toward a window. "It's heavy," he said, "And there are some walking behind it." Peeking through, he spotted the group. "I recognize some from the gathering for the Goblin mission. They must be another group." |

"Goblins?" Nicus mused. "I don't think we ever brought Goblins up in our chat. What Goblins?" "Wark!" "What?! Whatta ya mean that's the reason the place is deserted!? How was I supposed to know, huh, you... you... featherbag!" "Waaaark!" "I never asked?!" Nicus attempted to come up with an adequate rebuttal, but the haze of alcohol was making it difficult to come up with anything. "Well... I'll get you later... featherbag..." Jameson just primped herself up smugly and kwehed under her breath. Another one up on the smarmy Moogle, she though. |

"The King of Zamas put out a call to all ready and willing warriors to combat the growing Goblin threat to avoid pulling men and resources from the war with Glasno," Dermud explained, "I was part of a group that fell apart, but thankfully this seems to have together." He studied them for another moment. "Shall we say hello?" |
