When: beginning of february

THE DINNER

As per Hilda's invitation, if any of the Summoned come by Sarstina's that evening, they will find it set up a little differently than it's normal tavern sprawl. There is a large long table set up near the bar that has plenty of food spread out across it - which appears to look very southern-inspired in its intention, limited only by the kinds of ingredients a certain Sam Wilson can get his hands on. Behind the bar is Mag, who will serve whoever it is that comes up to ask for a drink - it appears someone is covering the tab tonight.

There are various tables and chairs set up around the place, as well as a stage on the corner for some live music from one of their very own later in the evening. The vibes is definitely low-key and casual - come get an ale, come eat some food, and if you're a new face there is a very good chance you'll end up (gently and in the most friendly way) cornered by either Sam, Hilda, or one of the other Summoned here to help answer questions and give a bit more background on what the hell is going on and also let you know about Mag's whole deal. Aka, if you're looking for a room until you're a little more on your feet, you are welcome here. Room and board in exchange for work. Not a big gig, right?

And if being social isn't your vibe, Sam's kind of betting on the fact there aren't many here who would turn down free food and drinks. And believe him - the food is pretty damn good.

OOC INFO

- this is a totally open post! I've got a TL below for various scenarios you can find Sam, but otherwise have fun, meet some people, put up a TL of your own! there are various places to run into people in the tavern, and if you find someone who is willing to help you into the Horizon, Sam's been letting people know they can use his room upstairs.

- Sam's only Rule is there will be no fighting. You want to duke it out? Take it somewhere else. There will not be warnings or second chances. Don't be an ass. He has lived in this Inn since he first got here and considers this his home, and if ANYONE is seen giving Mag a hard time, he will not hesitate. He's not afraid of squaring up, but you will not be invited back if you cause too many issues. :)

- this is open to any and all Summoned in Cadens, no matter loyalties or factions. Sam is going to be going overboard to be welcoming, especially to new faces. Even if your character didn't see the big invitation, feel free to have them invited by word of mouth.

- Mag is an NPC who you can read a little more about in the NPC section of the Cadens setting page. Feel free to have her come in and out of your tags as needed!

THE INN

Magmara (or Mag) has run the inn for years and has been a familiar face in that neighborhood as a woman who always made ends meet, almost in spite of the way she took care of her friends and neighbors above all else. Most weren't always sure how she managed to run the place on her own, but she made due, though she always seemed a bit overwhelmed and exhausted. When the Summoned arrived in the Cadens through that first portal, Sam managed to stumble in and make quick friends with Mag. In exchange for manual labor, fixing up and cleaning up the inn, as well as whatever other various tasks Mag needed to be done around, Sam would be given free room and board (a deal she now offers to any Summoned that arrives in the city for as long as they need it).

The inn itself is 4 floors tall, with the top three floors making up the 15 or so rooms (around five rooms per floor), and the entire bottom floor reserved for the restaurant area. The tavern makes up the entire first floor and is a large open floorplan, with a small stage in the corner, a walled-off area for the decently sized kitchen, and a large wooden bar where Mag does all her business for both the inn and tavern (where can almost always be found standing behind). It serves drinks of some variety (though not nearly as large a selection as some of the more well-known taverns) and some food (usually a single, large meal that will be served to the tenants and whoever comes in throughout the night for a moderate price). It can be busy some evenings, but in general tends to keep a more 'dive-bar' kind of feel, filled with more locals and regulars than a casual dinner-going crowd.

The rooms themselves vary from fairly simple, single-bed inn-style rooms with a small bathroom and little else, up to a two 'bedroom' suite style with small kitchenettes and spaces for sitting rooms. Each bedroom has its own small bathroom for the tenants, with cleaning, washing, and chores left to those who live there. What used to be more of a working inn now serves as a kind of boarding house for newly arrived Summoned (or simply those who won't leave), and Mag has found herself quite okay with that.

[ Ciri accepts it, noting he wiped it off first. Polite, not giving her a sticky cup for her dice set. She offers a smile in turn. ]

Oh, you don't want to hear me attempt to read your future. [ She assures him with a snort. A dark joke only for herself, though it's true enough she can't read anything in leaves or bones.

Ciri lets the dice clatter into the cup, gives it a shake, and quickly flips it over upside down on the table. ]

Just something to pass the time.

We can bet odds or evens. Or play a counting game.

[ She lifts the cup, revealing the six dice beneath, as if testing that the cup works properly. ]

I've seen you around the Sarstina. One of Jesper's friends, aren't you?

[bealufull]

Good thing then I don't believe in predictions and those that turns tea leaves.

[ He's seen the type make good money in the Barrel, reading palms and telling fortunes of great futures filled with coin... all the while reliving them of what coin they have. ]

Sounds like a great way to pass the time. Games of chance are always a curiosity to me. When they're purely chance.

[ He arches a brow at that, nodding before he thinks about it. ]

I am, from before here since it could be said there's hardly a person Jesper's met he isn't friends with. He's certainly my best asset in gaining allies in this place. He knows everyone.

[wiedzminka]

[ Ciri snorts, shaking her head. ]

He really does make it a point to know everyone. Busybody.

[ There's less real annoyance in her voice than there might've been a few months ago. Jesper's proven himself reliable enough, even if he can be a bit of a pest. He's a well-meaning one. ]

So you're from the same sphere, originally?

[ Dropping the dice back into the cup one by one, Ciri gives it another shake and thunks it down on the table once more. ]

More odds to evens, or the other way 'round?

[bealufull]

[ Kaz can't help but nod at that, the sound he makes most likely amusement even if it's not a familiar sound to him then. ]

I don't even think he tries. It's just second nature to him.

[ A trait that Kaz can admirer in the gunslinger as he hasn't a clue how he manages it himself. ]

We are. We've known one another for years now.

[ He doesn't see him as an employee but referring to him as what he is, one of the highest ranking members of Kaz's gang is something he has not put into words in this place either.

He arches a brow. ]

Odds.
