Tall Tales Tavern
A Feien Fairy Establishment
Welcome to the Tall Tales Tavern, where Feien Fairies and their caretakers can come to relax, enjoy a hot meal or a fine beverage, and share stories of their adventures! So pull up a chair, be it made out of wood or a Dixie Cup, and relax!
Description
This converted caretaker's cottage is warm and cozy, lit by a sizeable stone hearth at one end, and several chandeliers made of ship's wheels and oil lamps overhead. One side of the room is recognizably dedicated to the human patrons, with a long wooden bar and stools as well as a few human sized tables and chairs.
The rest of the establishment is designed to serve the Feien fairies. There is a plethora of tables made from various sizes of cable spools, ranging to suit the heights of both adolescent and adult Feien. Through the center hole of each a bulb pokes up, one of a string of fairy lights which have been wrapped in orange tissue paper to give the effect of table candles. Draped over each table is a colorful swatch of fabric serving as a tablecloth. Set around each table are chairs made from Dixie cups, either kitchen or bathroom sized to suit the table they are around. They were made by cutting two slits from the top edge of the cup to the center, then folding the flap inward to form a seat, securing it with glue. The bottom was then filled with clay for stability, and a cotton filled cushion made from pulled apart cotton balls stuffed into fabric was set onto the seat proper.
Feien sized mugs abound made from sawing off the ends of pen caps and sealing the bottoms with wax. Magnetic bingo chips serve as plates, mingled with utensils usually found in Barbie's Dream House. Tiny square scraps of thin linen handkerchiefs serve as napkins.
Along one wall is a Feien-sized hearth formed from a small terracotta planting pot cut down and set on its side and piled with twigs for firewood. Near it a block of wood that looks to have been cut from a 2-by-4 serves as a bar, with overturned and cushioned Dixie Cups serving as stools. Behind it mugs, plates, and utensils are stored. On the wall behind it are mounted several eyedroppers and turkey basters full of various beverages. A little pressure on the bulb of any of them will dispense droplets to fill mugs easily.

Rules
Don't Make Me Spank You! General Thread Rules
No OOC posts, please. If you need to interject something that isn't In Character, PM someone if it only affects them, or if you absolutely MUST interject something, please indicate in double parenthesis and take it to the [OOC] Feien Chat thread.
Keep IC and OOC separate. This is strictly an RP thread, so the opinions and actions of the Feien and Guardians in this thread should not be held against the players outside of this thread.
Roleplay Rules
No Godmodding or Munchkins. I'm pretty sure anyone who has a Feien is a strong enough Roleplayer to know what one of these is. If you aren't sure, read THIS. A great roleplaying guide can also be found HERE.
Actions Have Consequences. If you start a fight IC, don't be OOCly upset or surprised if the bouncers introduce your behind to the curb. If you throw a drink on someone, don't be surprised if someone throws a punch. It's a tavern, afterall. However, repeated "troublemaking" will force the hand of the proprieter to ban specific individuals from the establishment. That doesn't mean you can't try to crash it or come in disguised, just be aware that things will be tended to ICly.
Open for RP 24/7. This is open and ongoing roleplaying, so it won't be broken into "scenes" per se. However, a list of links to the starting post of memorable RPs will be kept on the front page for easy viewing. However, this means if you want RP credit (points) for your scenes in here, you'll have transcribe them into your diary!

Sajhiri dusted the bartop one last time, setting her black and violet bloom atop it, before she looked around the room with an analytical gaze. "Well, it looks like we're ready to open for business pretty flower..." she murmured to the bloom in it's crystal vase. The flower, of course, didn't reply.
With a smile she moved to the large wooden door of the cottage-turned-tavern and swung it open, flipping the sign in the window to read "Open".

LF carefully opened the door, peeking in. She saw that only one other was there, and decided it safe. She stepped in, waving Neruo inside as well. He floated over to her and landed on her shoulder while she closed the door and walked to the bar. Neruo flew off to see the crystal vase that contained a bloom. He sat down and watched it intently, curiously.
LF found a barstool and sat down. "I'm LF." she said, smiling. "I do LOVE your house. I'm so envious of the ship wheels. Where did you find them? I'm not much of a hands-on person myself, so making one of these would be quite the task for me."
She realized how rude she was, and introduced her Feien. She pointed to the bright orange one sitting near the vase. "That's Neruo. He loves to watch Feien blooms. I hope you don't mind."

Nerpin strolled into the tavern, dark eyes scanning the clean interior - quietly mussling to himself how well this had come out. Arith had taken to sitting on his shoulder - enjoying the ride and high view. Seeing Sajhiri at the bar, Arith tugged on one of Nerpin's white ears and directed his line of sight.
Nodding to himself, he made over to the bar, a paper in hand and a stern, determined look on his face.

Sajhiri smiled warmly at LF and Neruo. She set out a human sized glass and a Feien sized one on the bartop. "Nice to meet you, LF. I'm Doctor Sajhiri Jihaar, owner and proprietor of this little tavern. That over there..." She gestured towards the black-petalled bloom, "I don't have a name for yet. I figured it'd be quite rude to call it Bob if it turned out to be a Sally, you know?" The woman wiped her hands on a bar rag. "Can I get you or Neruo something to drink? I'm hoping to get some help in here soon, I put an ad in the papers."
As Nerpin and Arith arrived she raised a hand in greeting. "Welcome to the Tall Tales! What can I get for you sir, and you miss?" He smile was warm and welcoming, her manner jovial and almost motherly in nature.

Sajhiri As Nerpin and Arith arrived she raised a hand in greeting. "Welcome to the Tall Tales! What can I get for you sir, and you miss?" He smile was warm and welcoming, her manner jovial and almost motherly in nature.
Arith smiled to Sajhiri and gave a little wave as she was introduced, "Pleasure to meet you miss." She stated - showing to be very well brought up. One of Nerpin's canine white (with a black tip) twitched at the meantion of help and nodded, setting his resume on the bar "I was here for that actually. I'm wondering if you have a bouncer spot open. Someone told me I'd be a good person for the job" he finished, with a curt nod.

"I know this'll sound kinda cheesy, but...I'd like some milk, if you have any." She couldn't help but blush at her choice of drinks. It was a tavern, yes, but she didn't need any alcohol. Neruo stood up and bowed to Sajhiri.
"I'd just like some water, if you don't mind. And, lovely bloom, by the way. I can't wait to meet the Feien inside." He sat back down and watched the bloom as it rested in the vase.
LF waved to Nerpin as he walked inside with Arith. Such a beautiful Feien...

Sajhiri beamed at Nerpin's request for employment, and she picked up the resume off the bartop to scan it over. "Wonderful! Everything here looks to be in order, I'm happy to hire you on. When can you start, Mister Nerpin?" She smiled at Arith and inclined her head at the greeting. "A pleasure to meet you Miss Arith. Would either of you like something to drink?"
She chuckled softly at LF's self depracation and shook her head. "Not unusual at all. I keep a full assortment of non-alcoholic beverages on hand, as I'm not much of a drinker myself..." She gestured to her own mug, decidedly filled with coffee. A tall glass of milk was poured for LF and slid in front of her, with a tiny mug of water filled via eyedropper set beside Neruo. She murmured to him, "Neither can I, though some of the residents of my household are a little concerned about the bloom. Something about it being black seems to scream bad omen to a few of them. I just think they're paranoid."

Ice walked in, her hand cupped loosely around her red spiky bloom. She looked around, smiling a little at the decor and heading for the bar. There were a few people there, but not enough to make her nervous.
"Hi..." She said, holding up a hand in a half wave. "I'm Ice. And the bloom is Silva."

LF couldn't help but squeal happily as she picked up the mug and drank. Milk was her favorite beverage, and thanke Sajhiri silently having it onhand. When she finished, she put the mug down, revealing a well-place milk moustache. She smiled and wiped it off.
"Thanks muchly, Sajhiri! That was great!" Then, her eyes brightened. "Oh yeah! You need help? I'll help. I can cook, if I have instructions, or I can serve drinks and take orders if you like. I'd be happy to help!"
Neruo smiled and shook his head. "Just because the bloom is black doesn't mean the Feien will be bad. It's just a color, that's all." He looked up and noticed Arith, the white Feien he'd met before. He waved to her.
