NotAllan bust through the tavern doors and threw herself over the nearest table.
"HULKYYYYYYYYYY."
Luckily NPCs were programmed to literally do nothing, and didn't respond to her flamboyant, dramatic movements one bit. He just kept rubbing his cup and saying FINEST ALES IN ALL OF TOWN.
More to herself than anything else, NotAllan murmured, "I gotta get outta here."

"That's why I formed this guild," Shadowstep commented while he came over by the table, seating himself.
"Anyone who seriously wishes to stay in this dream is either fooling themselves or is delirious."

"Did somebody call for a delirious fool?" Hulk sidestepped in, tipping his hat to his guildmates, and then twirled on one foot - in a frighteningly dance-like move - before settling down on the table itself.
"Now, what's all this about giant monsters I heard? I saw no such thing on my way here. Am I just lucky, or blind? Or lucky to be blind? Or blindly lucky in love? Aha, that must be it!"
He picked his hat up off his head, and laughed into it. The echoes were fantastic.

NotAllan pouted, hand over her face and sarcastically said, "That was supposed to be a private soliloquoy."
She nodded and then sat up, chipper expression having returned. "Just kidding. Where are the others?" NotAllan wanted to change the conversation as quickly as possible to something more lighthearted. She hated serious.
On that note, in came the hulkwich, who started blathering much ado about nothing. She calmly patted his head and rustled his hair a little from her spot on top of the table. "You are none of those things." More seriously, she asked, "You really didn't see the big monster? With the teeth and the gnashing and the raAAOOWR." She winced slightly and said, "You were supposed to heal me now."

"Have you not run into the thing yet?" Nightbloom asked in evident surprise, trotting in after Hulk, "Because count yourself lucky if that is the case. I don't think I've ever died so many tim--"
--Oh wait, yes she has.
Lips twisting into a bit of a grimace, the small girl gave a little shake of her head and pulled out a chair, flopping into it.

As soon as his hair was mussed, Hulk realized it was a mistake to take his hat off, and he whined into the hat (which was still held against his mouth) and waited until she was done before shaking his head out. "Oh dear, every hair was in its rightful spot, now it's all a mess."
Then he stopped, and crossed his eyes, as though he could see onto his head. "Oh, but I like it like that!" The hat was popped back onto it, and he patted it down. His eyes uncrossed, and he grinned at the ladies.
"I haven't seen a thing! I just walked here without a single problem, spouting out curses in my head. That guild chat feature is quite handy, isn't it? It's nice to have more than two voices in my head, now."

"You are a lucky man, if not utterly insane."
And possibly stupid. He didn't say that much out loud, though. Shadowstep soon had a double take at the mention of voices in one's head.
"Do you normally have multiple voices already?" he asked with a raised brow. Suspicion level has been risen.

SANDSHARK eventually found his way back to the tavern, pulling a seat up with the the rest of the guild. "That thing needs killed, eventually. Maybe that'll help us get out." He sighed, honestly wanting some of the grog they were serving in here. It was probably not a good idea, though.

"One and the same." He replied quickly to his guild leader, with a proud air. Though the doubletake had Robert pulling on his hat lip.
"My dear new friend Shadowstep, the more the merrier! After all, the fewer voices in your head, the more you start to talk to yourself. And truly, now," He leaned in, as though to whisper a secret to the other man.
"If you're talking to yourself, you've gone crazy."
He handed Shadowstep a tiny egg, which had come from out of nowhere. (Actually, it had come from the Dodo - Robert collected more than just loot, it seemed.)

Shadowstep glanced to Sandshark briefly, then let out a sigh.
"Perhaps it will. Or it might just be a part of all this without needing to be destroyed to get out. It is possible our issue will be the AI. Maybe not, though," he said with a shrug. He was going to say more, but Hulk's tangent distracted him. He stared at the man as he offered him a tiny egg.
"... You make no bloody sense."

He closed Shadowstep's hand, and crushed the egg. "I assure you my clever leader, all of my senses are certifiably blood free!"

SS tilted his head, drumming his fingers along the opposite forearm. A weak frown tweaked at the corners of his mouth, letting out a small sigh. "A...I? I'm sorry, but... I have no idea what any of this technology talk is. I just figured out how to use the fancy card a few hours ago."
A blush started creeping up his neck, and he gulped. Insecurities abounded when he wasn't alone.
He gave Hulk a long stare, trying to size the man up. Was he incensed?

"Hey so I'm really interested in the weirdo talk, but I am still dying."
...
"Just saying."

Hulk gave his dying friend an egg. Perhaps she would be reborn within it!
"Careful now, that was my last one. Twins, you know!"

...Where was he getting all of these eggs. If she didn't know better, she could have sworn that he was laying them on the spot.
...Actually, that wouldn't really surprise her if that was somehow the case. He was a quirky character to be sure.
"Well you just killed one of the twins then," Nightbloom commented dryly, hopping up from her seat, "And I'm not quite sure that that is what NotAllan wanted. Shall I heal you, then? I'll have you better in a jiffy, I promise!"
Maybe. There was that tiny side effect where she'd occasionally cause more damage than help when trying to heal someone (or that she'd try to heal instead of attack), but uh. Depended on her luck, she supposed.
