The Charming Penguin Reunion
It has been almost a year since the whole group got together in the Charming Penguin. Coming from all echelons of society, these assorted characters and persons have gone their own way and done their own things. A year can be a long time. Things change. But whether by design or serendipity the bar at the Chrming Penguin is once again occupied by a diverse crowd of people all vaguely connected by their ownership of griffins, and perhaps more closely conneced by other bonds.
Below is a little review, for those who may not remember all the important things about the Penguin.

Poetical Rain  In the city of Xuan, there are many different kinds of entertainment. One may wander its lovely, upscale districts and visit its exotic marketplaces. For those who like a little danger, there is always the required "Black Market" area of the city, where one may find some underground activities. Just be careful of the people who might knife you for no reason other than for looking at them funny.
Or perhaps you're the kind that likes to get out and have a bit of alcohol for fun? Well, there's always the extravagant parties that the nobility/politicians hold on occasion...but for the everyday fun? You've happened upon the right place.
Set in the "South Side" district of Xuan, this newly restored, refurbished, and never needing to restock building bears a typical tavern-style sign hanging above its door. The banner itself is a sight to see, if one would ignore the strange name long enough to study it. The frame seems to be made of metal, with stained-glass pieces filling in the open spaces. There might be some sort of creature next to the words...a bird of some kind? Anyway, the glass is patterned with purples and blues...and, if neon lights existed, probably would have been the type to spring to glowing life at night.
The actual building sits on the corner crossing of two streets, and the outer decor actually blends well with the other shops and buildings that surround it. As do the colors - neutral tones of brown, white, and hints of black to accent the windows and roof tiling. Just the sign seems to be strange. Oh, and the iron-bar reinforced wooden gate around the side of the building is a little odd, too, but there's a reason for it.
Want to mosey on inside? Well then, welcome, and please, come on in and enjoy your stay at The Charming Penguin. Bar/Taven authorized by BlackPidgeot.

Poetical Rain [Rules - Gotta Have 'Em]
Any and all rules are subject to change and addition without warning. Please make sure to check on them from time to time for changes.
General Rules 1] Obey all Gryps Nemorensis Shop rules in this roleplay thread.
2] No drama or generic mindless whining. (IC drama-angst is welcome, of course.)
3] This thread is open to anyone who wishes to RP - it has no set plotline.
4] However, please observe that general IC roleplaying rules apply here - please no *asterisk* stuff.
5] Use something to indicate OOC chatting, but please don't talk excessively OOC.
6] I will not be monitoring everything - multiple RPs may occur at the same time, but it's the job of the RPers to keep track.
In-Character Rules 1] Many of Shane's bar regulations/expected customer behavior will be listed below. Follow them.
2] Griffins are to be left outside, around the back in the garden.
3] Fights are allowed inside the building, but please keep property destruction to a minimum. Talk to me via PM if you DO want to have a property-destructive brawl, and we can negotiate.
4] Do not kill or permanently maim each other's characters without consulting each other first. Also, take character deaths outside, if you must have a character death.
5] Please do not have a character 'employed' at the bar, unless you have consulted me and I have allowed it.
6] The title of calling your character a 'bar regular' must be earned through roleplay. Have your character come around at least five times before they start calling themselves one.
7] Always have your character talk to Shane if you want to rent a room upstairs, or start a round of cards.
8] Doing underground business with Shane is currently unavailable.
9] Because I must have this rule - try and keep things relatively PG13.
10] Keep in mind that most people in Xuan will not know what a penguin is (straight order from Black, after I asked her about it).

Poetical Rain [Within the Penguin]Shane's rules and the setting inside the bar Once inside, one might be slightly confused at the stark contrast of the inside of the building to the relatively normal outer appearance. Oh, it does have its standard bar-type items. Upon walking into the main floor of the building, one would observe a long bar counter adorning the back wall and part of the far side, complete with tall shelves full of beverages and strategically place bar stools. A few large, round tables stand in the middle of the floor, with several smaller booths pushed up against the walls. Then, there are two customer-accessible doors to be walked through, one leading outside to the garden, and the other leading to some private rooms for certain partitioners of certain activities. The third door hides in the corner behind the main counter, accessible only by bar employees. Now, the Penguin could be a very typical bar, if it weren't for the fact that the paint job inside looks as though someone just took up a few buckets of silvery white, and started running around in circles with their arms aflailing. Splotches, splashes, streaks, and, on the floor, what looks like talon and paw prints, create a rather outrageous contrast to the very dark walls and floor of the room...and yet there is something deviously charming about the casually wild style. Add in the oddity of every single piece of furniture being varying shades of deep red, and you have the interior of the Charming Penguin bar. Need a reference for the floor layout? Look here! And now, ladies and gentlemen, a few rules from the proprietor of the Penguin, Shane Tespia 1] Griffins in the garden, please. Don't worry, the big guy out there will take good care of them. If he can wake up long enough.
2] Keep the midgets out of here! And by midgets, I mean children, and other persons not of the drinking age.
3] I'm single, and happy that way. Okay? Okay.
4] Looking is not a crime, though.
5] I can make anything and everything you want. Just ask. If I don't know how, I'll figure it out.
6] No discounts unless I like you lots.
7] Annoy/injure any of my workers, and you'll be in severe pain by tomorrow morning.
8] Do not ask what a penguin is, unless you intend to buy some alcohol first.
9] This establishment isn't held accountable if you lose something of yours. And we don't just mean jewelry, ladies.
10] I might add something here later~ <3
