Oi was paying no attention to Ziza as she stopped at the pub door and looked at the wood work. She still wasn't happy with it, it was boring. before she pushed the door open.

Tisra raised her paw. "Sparkling!"
"Ditto" Ani smiled a bit and giggled at Tisra.

Ziza only noticed the door when it was too late. Her momentum carried her forward, rolling into and over Oi as her bags flew off her shoulders into the side of the bar.
Her Reshan jumped out of her backpack and onto the floor, calmly licking its paws as she slid into the bar herself, upside down into a nearby barstool, knocking it down.
She waited there a moment, blinking her red eyes a few times before scrambling to collect all her tools and 'shinies'. She gathered them all into a pile and clutched them to her chest, a small growl coming from her throat until her Reshan walked up to her.
"Sparkles! You ok Sparkles?"
The kitten licked at her face and she laughed, putting him back into her backpack and slowly gathering all of her things.

Ah sighed at Tisra pun as the bar fur approached with two large bowls of random fired and battered bit's of food. Despite their, deserved, reputation for eating pretty much anything, the peoples of the commonwealth did demand it was good quality when they bought it. They would pay more for better quality, if it was better quality, happily. This extended to pub grud and fast food (one of the reasons no non-indigenous fast food places existed and very few chains in general). The food was going to be binned soon as it had been on the not plait for almost too long (but was still very much edible).
Ah grinned "Cheers Zi, so the round so far is a pint of the usual, a bowl of sparkling water and a glass of the same and what ever that pair are having. Oh yeah and that round of inteerie whiskey." indicating the pair from the ASE.
All the hand pumps under the name of the beer had the %age alcohol, these varied wildly from 2% (work beer), threw 5% (81 shilling ) up to 11.5% (Mind masher).
The bar fur looked at Ah "A bowl?"
"Yeah for my friend Tisra here." she smiled and nodded towards Tisra.
The bar fur shrugged "It is house t...."
Ah interrupted "She is going to the uni with me."
The bar fur just looked at her, the awkward silence was interrupted by Ziza and Oi's somewhat loud and un-conventional arrival.
Ah looked at the mess and put her head in her paw, why did she know that this would have something to do with her.
She looked up in dread and there was Oi and someone or thing else on the floor.
She noticed Oi's lack of clothes and shouted at her "Clothes!"
"Yeah yeah, got yin in me bag, who are those yins w...."
"Put some on then!"
"But.."
"Look I told you, we are trying to make a good impression on these people"
Oi muttered as she opened her bag to pull out some clothes, as she did a small wood saw fell out of her bag near Ziza.
Ah looked at Tisra and Ani, she figured Ani was just a normal teerie with a dye job, though she didn't know there were any up north.
"Grab a seat over there, If you wouldn't mind would taking these over?" she indicated the 2 large bowls.
"I'll get the drinks over, when they get here." She continued and turned to the bar fur "Sorry about that and can you add a strong inteerie whiskey to the order...I think I need one." she signed.
So much for making a good impression.

Kseniya Xaimoungkhoun "I want the strongest drink you have." I said. "Or something crazy. Might as well see what lightweights you all are down here." Now, if Isaiah was here, I think there'd be a very interesting drinking competition going on. Of course, if he was here, we'd be swarmed by the news. "My friend will just have water."

Zi the barfur smiled "I will ask them my self."
Zi was making it clear that people ordered their own drinks here to Kseniya, he had seen this kind before "The strongest? From the hand pumps? From the fridge? From the optics...two of which I wont sell you as they are fatal to non green furs or a special from under the bar?"
Zi the bar fur handed Ah her pint.
Ah queitly said to Amado "Best get out of they way...your friend is very unlikely to have the contents of his guts shortly exiting from the top. Well if he insists on strong inteerie whisky Zi won't serve him it. Unless he wants to spend the trip up north half with his head in the bog and the other half on it..well I would suggest he sticks to what is on tap."
Ah smiled "We'll get you a drink, otherwise people will think you her servant or guard or something."

She ignored the saw, wasn't shiny enough, and finally put her bags into a small pile and tried to stand up using the bar as support.
Her legs creaked as the gears caught on something, and she had to hit one of them several times with one of her tools before it started moving normally, and she stood up, wobbling from side to side.
"I lookink foh a Tane? Ehmm...not good wi' name on paper..Taene?"
She looked around a bit, biting her lip before she spotted Tisra, and her eye went wide. She bent down low, almost kneeling, and started staring at the glowing fox. She pulled the Reshan kitten out of her bag and held it to Tisra.
"Lookie Sparkles! I found yous a friend!"
The kitten just tilted its head and mewled at the Aluezi, reaching out with a paw at her ears.

She muttered "Knowing my luck"

Ziza's head whipped around as she pulled the Reshan close to her and looked for the source of the voice, her eye focussing on Ah. She stared a moment at her.
"Why fox look like tree? Is going to play camo-wahr wit' militia?"
She put Sparkles (he looks much like a small cross between a tiger and a snow leopard in fur pattern) on top of the bar and walked over to Ah, with both hands on the bar as far as she could, and walking on all fours when she had to go around a stool or a person. Her legs and arm made a continuous ticking sound that got louder the more she moved as they wound themselves by the action, the occassional misfire of a spring twanging on the interior, forcing Ziza to stop and hit it with her good arm for a bit. The Reshan walked across the bar over to Ah, purring as the Ai'lupan finally got over to her.
She again steadied herself with the bar and worked her way into a standing position, which was quite awkward with the bags and backpacks strewn about her person.
"Ihenne Ziza...you are Taene? Is good meetink you, yes!"

Ah signed "You must be an art's student"
Ah wasn't quite sure if sparkles was a student or a pet. Well it hadn't said "hi" but that didn't mean much.
Oi wandered over wearing a long tee shirt and nothing else.
Ah sighed "I suppose that qualified as dressed"
Ah said to Ziza "I'm Ah take a seat, we have food, do you want a drink? I need several. "
Oi bounded over and smiled at Ziza, her attention was quickly taken by sparkles. She ruffled her head.
"I want yin" Oi said.
Ah was happy that at least the creature was not a flat mate....well she hoped.
Ah decided to leave Ziza with Oi and try and find some sane people. Though she worried that Ziza and Oi might cause some sort of black hole of insanity.

Tisra furled her ears back and kept them away from the Reshan's touch, hoping that it wouldn't try to eat her or anything... after all, she HAD been hanging out in Ani's shirt all week, and smelt of oranges and other various fruit... a very pleasant scent, but at the same time, horrible if you got sprayed by it.
After she was left alone, she sniffed a few times in Oi's direction, shivering and holding her nose with a soft whine.
Ani smiled and giggled a bit at Tisra. "They don't smell too pleasant do they?" she says quietly before offering a mint out to Tisra
Tisra immediately snatched up the mint and suckled a bit on it as the taste overwhelmed the scent, smiling a bit and resting her head on the table. "I think I might... change secondary class, but I'll handle that once we get there and see if I want to even take phylosophy..." she shrugged a bit before making a loud 'CHRUNCH' as she bit off a piece of the mint, knowing if she tried to bite it all off, it'd break her teeth.

Ah picked up what drinks were already on the bar. and took them over to the table. She placed the bowl in front of Tisra and the pint of water in front of Ani. She took a swig of her own beer and grabbed one of the battered things out of the bowl before taking a seat.
She smiled "Well I think that's everyone, not that it matters we are booked on the midnight CAT* north. I'm stuffed if I'm missing it."
She noticed a CAT starting to come into the platform next to the bar she shouted "People, get you orders in sharpish for drinks as this place is likely to get busy very soon. When that train starts to empty itself there's likely to be a pile of people looking for a drink."
She turned her attention to the two at the table "Oh dig in." she smiled indicating the bowls of food.
She took another swig and asked "I'm doing cosmology...well an comp sci as a throw away thing...they were quite despite that I did. Don't see the point in studying something I already know all about...anyway what you guys studying?"
* A CAT is a large high speed train. OOC: feel free to think Ah has a dye job, she figures Ani does. --- Oi in the mean time was somewhat enamored of sparkles, stroking the little thing. She looked over at Ziza asking "What's yin's name?"
Oi noticed Ziza's no doubt confused expression and decide to try and speak in a non-accented, dialect filled way.
"What's her name? What is she? What's your name? What are you studying? Where you from? You want a drink?" She rapidly asked.

"He is Sparkles! He's a kitty! I think big kitty called him a Reshan, but I not pay attention...Ihenne Ziza! Study? Is makeymake things! They ha' fancy name I not know it. I from big jungle! In north! Drink? No drink. School, duty, dutyschool. No drink on duty."
She then picks up Sparkles to put him back in her backpack. He purrs, looking over her shoulder at Oi.

Oi looked confused for a second, what in the ancestors name was 'makeymake things'? On duty...for like four years?
She clicked "Your a Sculptress like me?" she exclaimed.
"What medium do you prefer to work with? I prefer to use wood. Do you have any of your pieces?" Oi then realized from what Ziza had said that, that you go right over her head.
She rephrased it "What do you makeymake things with? I use wood. You got anything you've made?"

"No...all things in other box, going to be sent to 'uni'. I use shinies! Find shinies everywhere! Use my welder on the shinies, make them move I do! Make them live."
She shrugged one of her bags off of her shoulders, putting it on the bar and pulling several things out.
"Found these near train in robot place! They have people made of shinies! You know they had people made of shinies? Anways found these and gonna use shinies found in homeland to make better shiny..."
Among the things she pulled out of her bag (there were many), was an emptied out and disarmed landmine, a hubcap, several railroad ties, warped pieces of shrapnel, several bones, and what appeared to be the inner workings of a grandfather clock.
"I use this, see!"
She held out a small pocket-welder. An Aatuylvan tool, it doesn't require many of the bulky parts most use, and even the fuel canisters for it can be kept inside a small bag and carried.
"Face-helmet is in other box tho', can't show you how works. Bad for eye."
