MissKitty couldn't remember the last time she had been so grateful to see a place that served alcoholic beverages.
Stumbling in after the long, drawn out confrontation with the jabberwock, She claimed her rightful place atop a bar stool before glancing around. A walrus serving mead, a gaggle of people amongst an amazing collection of chairs, and.. A menu where the currency was memories?
Well, she had plenty of those. Looked like MissKItty would be getting sloshed today.

Nyantics stumbled in still shaking off the encounter he just went through. Small bits of twigs and leaves were caught up in his costume and parts of his hair. The Mad Hatter eventually found his way to the bar where he just slumped down in a seat and just ...
Exhaled.
A very long, deep exhale of someone that just narrowly escaped with his life.
"...Mmmn..." He stared blankly at the menu. Would he have to get a drink to be allowed to rest?

"Hey whiskers, give me a dark mead." It was the easiest to order, really. All she had to do was think about the jabberwock ordeal and...
Poof. There was her coin. She slid it forward. "Plenty more where that came from." She had a million of those memories. Dime a dozen, they were.
As she waited for the mead, MissKitty took another gander as a familiar someone walked through the door. Oh, great. It was him.
He looked about as disheveled as she felt. She was almost surprised as he sat down next to her, almost oblivious of her presence.
Should she say something? Normally she didn't. It wasn't her place to, but...
"You look like s**t." It just sort of slipped out, and MissKitty was quick to hide herself behind the dark mead that had been placed in front of her.

He'd jolted a little bit, sitting up straighter and still staring straight ahead. It was like she'd bitten him but not literally. Nyantics tilted his head over toward her and seemed to remember her almost immediately.
"Well, I'm not sure many people look fresh as roses after running away from a giant death beast," he replied though he wasn't being waspish about it, but it did show that his mood unsettled from the earlier easy-going nature.

"Ah." MissKitty took a few big swigs from her mug before sighing. "I think I know the death beast of which you speak." If she didn't, well, that just meant there were more death beasts out there than she was comfortable with.
"If it makes you feel any better, he killed me twice." Was kill the proper word? She assumed so. The feline had never been familiar with... Game lingo.
As if to prove a point, she lifted up her jacket to show how ragged the back had become. "I imagine the worst has yet to begin."

He looked over at her and his expression sort of sobered into a more neutral one rather than looking like he was about to mangle at least three small infants.
"Mmm. Sorry about your misfortune. I somehow managed to get away with it just nipping at my heels the entire time," Nyantics replied quietly.

To his apology, MissKitty gave a simple shrug, releasing her jacket and looking forward. "I've had worse things happen to me." Worse than being devoured by a blood-thirsty monster? Apparently. "To be honest, this has so far been a walk in the park compared to prior happenstances."
She polished the mead off in a few quick gulps and shoved the mug forward, resting her arms on the bar top. "What about you?" Her question was promptly followed by a perplexed expression. "If you're even a real person. This could just be one big dream." Though it seemed so lucid. Could it really just be a dream?

Nyantics sort of just rested his chin on the bar, he was slumping over to achieve his current pose. All he felt now was tired, overwhelming tired.
It appeared to be commiseration hour.
"Mmm. I am not sure if this is better or worse than anything I have ever gone through. As far as I am aware I am real." He said the last part almost like an afterthought. He had to ponder if he was real or not, he even pinched his own side to see if he felt anything.

"Glad you're so certain of your own existence." MissKitty commented and rolled her eyes as she noticed Nyantics pinching himself.
"Don't you have memories to reaffirm your existence or something? Or, s**t, a name besides Nyantics?" That was what she took comfort in, at least. She remembered her name and everything that had ever happened to her, and if she really didn't exist then it didn't matter anyways.
Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2014 7:53 pm
"At the moment that certainty is kind of all I have, MissKitty" It was almost a challenge answering a challenge she threw at him. There was a roll of his shoulders, "I have memories but I believe it would breach our acquaintanceship if I just started caterwauling about them at you."
Names? Names he could possibly do, "I have a name other than the one that floats above my head. It's Akubi."

Oh. Well then.
"I never asked for you to share your life story, I was just trying to confirm you had memories in the first place, Nyantics." She tried to mimic his tone with precision, her gaze unwavering.
Until he suddenly spit out his 'true' name, that is.
MissKitty glanced away as if she'd heard something from the other end of the bar, suddenly finding herself at a loss. Was it really Akubi? That would mean that this scenario was much more than a dream. What should she do? Should she cough up her own name, or...
... Or be aloof.
It was at that moment MissKitty realized the brilliant situation she found herself in. Suddenly she knew it was Akubi, but he had no idea who she was.
As she turned back to look at him, her face was as calm and composed as an experienced gambler. "Akubi, huh? Pretty silly name. You must have trouble making friends." Her smile was a bit cruel as she held out her hand to produce a memory coin for another serving of mead.
She recalled the death trials this time, where the horseman somehow possessed their dreams and showed them the life of a Halloween resident that had been captured by hunters. The brutality and horrifying results of being stuffed into a cylinder, your body slowly disintegrating and forming a new, blunt shape.
She visibly shivered as the coin was placed out for the walrus to claim.

"I happen to like my names, both of them," he said simply as if he just accepted Nyantics as a form of identification. He shifted in his seat and sort of stared over at her as if trying to figure out what her reaction meant.
The idea of her trying to taunt him about his friendships just sort of washed over him like water off of a duck's back. "I happen to think that I make friends pretty easily. I have people that I am glad are by my side. Like Riyo or Siobhan. I also have someone I consider family..."
Then he sort of sat up and tapped fingertips along the bar, "And strangers are just friends you haven't met yet."

MissKitty smirked at his response, resting her head in her hands as she looked over at him. Surprising that he only actually listed two people. She could've sworn he had more friends.
"Hm. Well, Mr. Stranger danger...." The next part slipped out before she had any idea what she was saying. "Are they hot?"
Once the question repeated in her head, she couldn't help but wonder what sort of metaphorical grave she was digging for herself. Then again, it WAS a once in a lifetime chance. He never had to know who the person was pulling the strings behind the busty avatar before him.

His body was not ready for that question. In a sense he just sort of fell out of his chair, hapless and helpless as any cat is when suddenly there was unexpected weight upon him.
The weight of foreign thoughts just sort of slammed him down to the ground. Heavier than gravity. Nyantics just sort of stayed on the ground where the question left him. Siobhan was an easy one - but only because she was a good friend, "Siobhan is a very lovely and precious friend, I knew her from before Amity. She is somehow very shy and outgoing at the same time, very charming."
Then there was Riyo, "Riyo keeps herself well groomed from what I noticed and is very reserved amongst others - especially males.."
He sort of just stared at the ceiling, "I can't really say either of them are hot. It seems a strange word to use for them and I don't agree with the term. They are both very lovely in their own way."

There was a sudden burst of air as the door blew open, a small Cheshire Class ghoul standing dramatically inside of it. Once again like most places she ever found herself, she'd gotten lost. Eventually, she found herself here. A tavern.
A whining and high pitched noise came from her, as she scuttled into the room with a pathetic expression. "So lost, so lost.. Noooo...."
