Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Bah." Hanley faded back in, after having left abruptly. He looked about, sighing softly. "Stupid people, I want this I want that. Things I don't have. Frankly it's irritating." He reached over the bar, grabbing a bottle of water and beginning to drink.

:::Cora sighed heavily as she watched Johnathan fade away. She hoped for the best and assumed that his salute was a confiming gesture. She walked back to the bar to have some of the wine that Malazar poured for her some time ago:::

:::she noticed that Hanley's mood was not the best:::

Hanley is something bothering you?

((Yeah, uh, he's kinda gone. Shaav just signed off AIM and went to bed.))

Tac slowly faded in, singing to himself as he looked upwards to the sky in a kneeling position. His back was arched slightly as he seemed to be almost beding over backwards, but only partway. Each hand was held close to his chest, one holding a pocketwatch's chain as it spun in a circle before him, slowly coming to a stop and gravity taking over the centripital force, and maybe a few other less than physical forces, as it fell chaotically around his hand, causing the small egg in his left hand to fall to the floor, though it did not break. His eyes shot open as he took in his surroundings, quickly replacing the egg and watch inside his trenchcoat.

*Clare wasn't all to clear on weather on the man who had suddenly invaded the space 'belonging' to the subject of her cold look had noticed her or not, but wasn't to keen on staying put long enough to find out in any case. Clare bolted from the table to dive behind Hanley, she had planned on stealing the man's bottle and using that..but watching him, she wasn't so sure he'd surrender it without a fight.*

((OOC: Eggtimer...haha. Classic))

There are people in need? :::She assumed he must have been annoyed at himself because he was not able to help all the people who where in need:::

Is there any way I can help?

:::But she was suddenly distracted by the presence of Tac:::

Tacitus! :::A big smile drew the corners of her lips up high, and she slid off her stool and made a step in his direction:::

Tac heard Cora call out his name and quickly made sure the two items were well hidden within his coat before he quickly shifted his weight off his shins, quickly popping up off the ground. He turned to see Cora and smiled, "Hey, Cora, how have you been?" He seemed not to have noticed Clare.

*Popping up from behind Hanley, Clare quietly quipped in, in reference to his comment. Being just as quiet. John really had struck quite the sore note with the normally quiet and reserved annalist. She would need to find that restraint again..* "With an egg timer..? Future must be lacking.."

((in Cora's future there's no such thing as sex ^_^ fyi))
