Tisra nodded a bit as she continued to eat, speaking after she swallowed. "In other words: A dinoid. Anything that vaguely resembles a dinosaur is a Dinoid to us. Not that we make a big deal of it unless it starts eating people" she shrugs and goes back to eating.
"From what I understand from history in Aluez, Dinoids were wiped out because they nearly killed off everything on the planet back where they came from. They still exist in very very minute numbers back home, but aren't really enough to be considered a 'species' anymore."

Ah took a thoughtful drink then mused "I've never heard of the quine eating people..well unless you go right back, but things back then...well everyone accused everyone of doing that kinda thing. S'pose it made it easier to justify going to war against each other way back when."
Ah Looked out at the CAT that was now emptying, this was the end of the line currently so the train would be probably the one they were getting. Well once it had been cleaned and restocked.
Her attention turned to Ani she smiled "I didn't know there were teerie up north. Sorry if I got your race wrong, no offence intended, to be honest I don't have much experience with of people from the mainland, let alone further a field. This will be only the second time I've been off emass."

Kseniya Xaimoungkhoun Amado said, in Federation, "I don't like these people. Their ego makes the emperor look modest.""If you think I do you're sadly mistaken." I said while taking a drink of whatever this was. "It could be worse.""I don't drink.""I meant worse for you.""...""Okay, if it makes you feel better, just act like a spy or something. I'm sure that Isaiah would love to hear about defenses and such.""I guess that works."The wonderful thing about the Federation's language is that, for one, it is untranslatable on Earth. Two it sounds like gibberish. Three, it's fun to speak just to confuse people. "Now I think we're getting strange looks, so it's best to stop speaking it for now.""Fair enough." After a moment, I said, in an attempt to draw attention away from what I said, "So... what's the plans for tonight?" Then I realized what was said. "And I am NOT a Jew goddammit! I don't associate myself with those barbaric religions."

"Why yes, there is only three of us, we're... kinda survivors from the tragedy in Tyr" she smiled and gave a nervous laugh before clearing her throat. "But I won't talk about that... it was a horrible time for all people involved"
Tisra smiled a bit before finishing off her food. For a little creature as her, she could eat a lot and pack it away. "Mmmr... thank you for the food" she says before hopping over into Ani's lap, nestling into her belly, wagging her tail from side to side.
Ani smiled softly before clearing her throat. "Anyways... I am sad to say that I cannot speak Teerie, or whatever it is that you call it, I can only speak cree, or anglic." she smiled meekly toward Ah.

Zi, the bar looked genuinely confused for a second, every human he had ever met had called them self a Jew, he was only dimly aware that there were humans that weren't. This was the first time someone had reacted in any other way than just laughing and correcting him, he didn't know it could be taken as offensive. Then again as a bar tender he knew well that some or later someone would offence at anything. The truth was that the air port was still getting on it's feet and the port was still under construction so they didn't get many foreigner, well people from out with the commonwealth and the surrounding nations.
Oi unintentionally calmed the situation, she had been busy with Ziza and sparkles, the latter of which as taking most of her attention. Tisra was probably lucky that Oi hadn't noticed her.
She grabbed her pint "Hey people, it's gettin' busy, let's ge our arses ora wi Ah?" she shouted jerking her head two ward where Ah and the other two were sat. Once again dropping into her own dialect.
She bounded over to Ah and put her drink down on the table. She clocked Tisra .
Ah said quickly "Zi should have a round of inteerie whiskey done by now, could you..." Oi shot off to the bar.
Ah put her head in her paws and said in teerie "This can not end well."
She looked up and said "I apologises in advance for Oi, she is a nice person just that she is always full on. You get used to it and she do anything after a bit. I find it easier just to let it wash over me.
If she get too much for you just distract her and she'll forget what had got her attention."
She sighed "Even by teerie standards she is intense though she seem to have got the concept of personal space recently."
"Oh sorry no offence intended" said apologetically of Ani.
Zi stopped thinking and said "Sorry?"
Zi headed up the bar to deal and poured the round of whiskey and an extra one that was the strong stuff that Ah had asked for.
Mean while Oi was stood next to Kseniya "Ye we Ah? Better git oot ti way. Ah gotta table." She noticed tha Ziza was a little unstable on their feet she quite diplomatically said and managed to cut her dialect, remembering that none of these people were likely to be familiar with it "Any one heed a hand moving their drink over to the table where Ah is?".
The people from the train were now coming into the pub, most were hybes of one kind or and other. But there were a few vulpines, both common and desert, a couple of Lupine, a leefin talking with a couple of quine and very odd looking thing that seemed to be a teerie/quine hybe*.
Ah said "Any way you were saying." having lost track of the conversation a little.
--- * Something that was very odd even in these parts (people don't even like to think how something like that was possible.)

Kseniya Xaimoungkhoun Amado and I headed over to the table and sat down. I kind of intentionally left the drink behind, as did Amado. Don't need anything yet. I did, however, notice Tisra and had to talk to her. A friendly face in this strange country. "Tisra? Heh, didn't expect to see you here of all places." I then reached out to pet her.

"Will b-"
Kitty. Big kitty! Not like Big Kitty though, who gave me Sparkles...
"Kitty!"
Ziza bounded over to Amado, forgetting her drink as she picked up Sparkles and bounded over to him.
"What big kitty doing here are you like Sparkles or do you talk? Can Sparkles talk he's not old enough if he can because he hasn't talked, at least not to me how are you who are you hi I'm Ziza I like you!"

Oi swept up the drinks and put them on the tray with her's and Ah's extra whisky, she did keep it seprate from the rest that were very much tourist ones (less than 40%), but she had Zi replace hers with a proper one (80%+ with run stuff in it).
She put the try down on the table. She took her's in her hand but then realised that she had forgotten where Ah's was.
Ah looked at the tray and then laughed, this was going to be interesting. Ah passed her nose over the drinks and picked up the one that she had ordered for her self.
Ah smiled "It is a tradition here that we have a drink to a new endeavour. This stuff is weak enough that you will be safe."
She raised her shot class "To new endeavours"
Oi raised hers "Taninda" she said (a teerie word).
Ah hoped the others would take a que from that.

Kseniya Xaimoungkhoun I took one of the glasses and raised it. "For the glory of the Empire and the health of the immortal Emperor!" Amado Mehrotra What. The. Fuck. I can't get a moment of peace can I? "Please leave me alone." I then took a seat next to Kseniya and grabbed one of the glasses. I guess I have to do this as well. "Long live the Anean Star Empire!" I said.

OOC: I'm moving this to them having got together and had a drink.
--- Ah looked about an looked at the list, the numbers were right and it was heading towards midnight.
Ah stood up and shouted "Right people we have to get that train." pointing at the double decker train outside.
Oi didn't stand up as she was not entirely sure where sparkles was hiding in her tail.
Ah looked at the crowd her tail flopped onto the floor, she needed help here, Oi would be useless in sheparding these people to the train, she was more concerned ti that cat thing.
She looked for help from someone.

Dieter appeared in one of the toilet stalls in the mens restroom of the pub. The toilet stall because he didn't want people to freak out and the men's restroom because the possibility of it being in use while he zapped in, in a flash of orange and green, was less likely.
He looked around at hoped that they got the right telephase and that this was Cal and not someplace else.
The writings on the bathroom stalls confirmed it.
He nonchalantly exited the bathroom stall and went to the bathroom sink and observed the mirror.
Some brown and orange clothing built up around him. What looked like an outfit he saw on an Earth TV show "Welcome back Kotter". It seemed normal enough. Within 40 years of current era, which should be close enough.
"Yes, I look perfectly normal" he said in a voice which he hadn't quite adjusted yet, and sounded weirdly high-pitched and totally synthesized.
A green skunk turned around and looked at him while using the urinal in some... subtle confusion.
Dieter adjusted his voice a few times to something less bizarre and eventually settled on something more normal. The Teerie stared at him and began missing the toilet.
"NANOO NANOO FINE SIR. I AM A NORMAL CREATURE FROM KAZIAN JURISDICTION. IT IS SUFFICIENT WEATHER OUTSIDE FOR BARBEQUEING PANTIES ISN'T IT?!"
The onlooker went wide eyed and said something that exceeded Dieter's ability to linguistically parse.
The he left the bathroom to try to figure out where the hell he was. He aimlessly wandered around carefully until coming by a table...

Ah sighed looking at the weirdo, it would have to be one of her future flatmates. Every other freak round here was.
She looked at the thing and shrugged "You'r looking to meet people that are head up north to the uni aren't you?"
Ah could not have looked more resigned.

People here rude...not nice at all, always moving and drinking and talking but not talking about anything important...
She already didn't like it here, too noisy and smelly, everything was just wrong. She double checked her bags again before grabbing Sparkles and putting him back in his pouch. She really hoped they were leaving soon, it was just too...bad h-
Shiny.
See saw a shiny.
A big one.
And it was red.
She must have the shiny.
Before the thought 'shiny' completed it's circle around her mind, she was already halfway to it, bounding across the floor and knocking down bar patrons and staff alike in her singular quest.
Shiny.
Her prosthetic limbs began to grate as she bounded into what the frail, logical part of her mind registered as some kind of armored person, but the remaining arm that was truly hers worked with her instinct, pulling out the small hand-welder as she started it up.
All the while she kept saying to herself, over and over: "Shiny shiny must have my shiny Mine MINE shiny red shiny pretty shiny MINE!"

Kseniya Xaimoungkhoun When I saw the robot thing, my first reaction was to reach for the gun which I don't have. Still, I managed to say, "What the FUCK are you!?" I love making a scene sometimes.
