Second Brew | [BBS/Action]

[tapthekeg]

For those of you who are still a bit wound up, I have managed to finish my first batch of brew! If you would like to try a little for free or purchase some for yourself or this upcoming "Valentine's Day," I will be in the cafeteria most of today. I do have this laptop with me and I believe I know how to work it well enough, so feel free to make an order or ask questions here as well.

-- Lihau



[As promised on the BBS, Lihau is in the cafetera. She's appropriated a table or two for herself, a couple kegs, some large bottles/flasks/tankards for sales, and a few mugs of... fairly large size for samples, along with a towel and bowl to wash said mugs in-between uses.

She's not drinking herself -- she can always drink her own brew later and she'd prefer to leave as much as possible to the others. After all, she never did say how much "a little" was...]

Guild? What kind of a guild were you?

[tapthekeg]

I am sure it was different from the guilds you are familiar with -- we were called the Knights of Solamnia, and we were more of a family put together through various ways. We shared our findings, our profits, and anything we could do, as well as ensuring each of us were well looked after.

We were made up of all races of the Alliance as well.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins.] Sounds like nakama then. You helped each other out?

[tapthekeg]

Absolutely. If one of us needed assistance, the others would dive to provide it. And if one of us was truly wronged, the others were as vengeful as a wolf pack.

[fierybluebird]

Definitely nakama then.

My own nakama, we made this tattoo of mine synonymous with our vengeance. [Proud nod.] So the whole world knows not to touch anyone wearing it or they've picked a fight with all of us.

[tapthekeg]

We have something similar, though not quite as permanent.

[Lihau turns around, showing off the symbol on her cloak.]

This symbol, worn on a tabard or a cloak, is what represents us. I believe we do not do anything permanent because there are some who we take in that betray us, or leave as quickly.

[Her eyes flicker at "betray," but she leaves it at that.]

It would not do to have these ones bearing our mark.

[fierybluebird]

[He nods solemnly at that.]

A double headed bird? Or is two birds back to back?

[tapthekeg]

A double-headed bird, I believe. As far as I can tell, it is symbolism of how we are all extensions of a family.

Or perhaps that is just my romantic thinking. [She giggles.]

[fierybluebird]

[Grins.] It seems reasonable to me actually. [Though he doesn't quite explain how or why.]

[tapthekeg]

Oh? Why is that?

[fierybluebird]

Oh... [Blushes a little in spite of himself.] It's a long story. But aye... nakama are always family, eh? And birds are smart.
