World's End Bar...
Yosannah enters the World's End Bar and removes her sunglasses. Merlin waves to her form across the room. She clears her throat and smiles softly, "...hey.." She runs her hands over her hair as she approaches the bar.
Merlin says "What's up, Yo?"
Yosannah smiles at Azuree as she passes by her table, "Nothing. I feel like shit. You?"
She climbs onto a stool. and Azuree follows her to the bar as Merlin frowns "If you don't get better soon, I'm going to start giving you heavy drugs."
Yo laughs, "Heavy drugs are always welcome... The scotch I had earlier today didn't help. Warmed me up though."
Azuree smirks, sipping her milkshake and Yo gives her a knowing glance.
Merlin sips his beer. "Let me think about this. Hmm." He reaches his right hand into the air. Four lines of light extend from his fingers, weaving themselves into some sort of necklace, or more appropriately an amulet. Upon completion, the silver piece falls into his hand, whereupon it's offered to Yosannah. "Wear this."
Azuree blinks, "neat trick."
Yosannah blinks as well, "What is it?" She takes the amulet.
He says "It's magic. It'll keep away evil spirits and disease and shit like that."
Yosannah smiles and tucks her hair behind an ear. "Evil spirits huh. I don't generally have problems with evil spirits, Merle. How 'bout you?" She smiles coyly at Azuree.
Merlin says "It's part of the package."
Yosannah nods, "Thanks. I'll try it. Can't hurt, right?" She reaches across the bar for a napkin and dabs lightly at the tears that have formed at the corner of her eyes.
Merlin says "Then put it on."
Yo blinks a few times, "What about the necklace I already have on. It'll clash" She teases.
Nightingale, who is also sitting at the bar smiles and looks to Yosannah.
Merlin smirks. "So tuck it under your shirt. It's not like anyone'll see it through a turtleneck."
Nightingale pines in "Or get someone to dress it up so that it Does go with the other one."
Merlin says "Fiddling with it might break the magic. I'd recommend against it."
Yosannah smiles "Aren't we a bunch of helpful bar-flies..."
Azuree says "me? I am an evil spirit, or didn't you know?"
Yosannah smiles at Azuree, "And here I thought you were just a giggle queen."
The young woman smiles. "I'm in disguise"
Yosannah winks all secret like "Naturally."
Nightingale says "I'm not an evil spirit. Merely playful." she shivers lightly, takes another sip of her milkshake.
Merlin just shakes his head. Yosannah
eyes the necklace and eventually slides it over her head - she
flinches, "It's really warm." She attempts to tuck it under her
sweater.
It's a silver deal with two
red gems like eyes. It's a bit warmish, and is immediately
comfortable. It's a magical charm which, as he said, will chase away
evil spirits and disease. Pestilence is probably too much for it.
It'll get warm when it touches your skin.
Nightingale says "That could be fixed."
Azuree giggles.
Rrauwl joins the bar and rumbles, "Good ladiesss and gentle ssssirrr. A good ssssky to all."
Nightingale waves to Rrauwl. "Good evening."
Yosannah smiles at Rrauwl as she fiddles with something at her neck, "There we go. That's better."
Rrauwl orders a mug of milk. The bartender pushes it across the bar and it slides to a stop in front of him.
Merlin says "Keep that with you, especially when you're asleep. It works best when you sleep."
Yosannah squeezes Merlin's arm lightly, "Thanks. I need some tea.."
Rrauwl peers over at Yosannah, curiously. "New toy?"
Merlin even pours a cup of tea for Yo; she stares at Merlin with a mildly impressed look on her face. "Well, that's wonderfully polite."
Merlin shakes his head again, and takes a long sip of his beer.
Rrauwl rumbles, solemnly, "I am glad to hearrr that afterrr you ate the ssseal, the rrresst did not go to wassste."
Yosannah looks between Rrauwl and the others at the mention of 'eatin seals' ,
"Okay.. that's my cue. I'm outtee." She practically downs some of her tea and begins to stand.
Nightingale looks over to Yosannah and asks, "What is?"
Yosannah smiles, "Eating seals is where I draw the line..." She shakes her head and hops off her stool.
Merlin rises from his barstool, grabbing his beer.
Yo turns to Merlin, "You going home?"
Merlin nods. "I thought I might rig up the Starburst and go for a sail."
Yosannah pulls har jacket about her and fumbles over the buttons. "...rig up the who..?"
She gives up on the buttons, "Damnit..." And then to Merlin, "The What?"
Merlin pulls Yosannah before him and buttons her jacket, "My sailboat. I keep her berthed in Santa Cruz."
Yosannah reaches for her tea-cup, still at the bar, She takes a final sip as Merlin finishes with her jacket buttons, "Okay. I'll catch up with you later then."
Merlin nods "Come with me. You wanna come, don't you?"
Yosannah returns her cup to the bar and seems to consider for a moment. After a moment she shrugs and nods.
Merlin smiles at her and holds a hand...
