EVENT: Birthday Party

[1000_npcs]

The tavern is curiously more crowded than usual tonight. Perhaps it's the recent influx of travelers who have decided to stay at Budehuc, or the fact that it's a certain squire's birthday, but the barkeep hasn't seen such a big crowd since the days of Nadir's plays. Drowned out by the drunken men's laughter and absurd stories, a small band of musicians can also be heard playing near the stage.

I beg to differ! It's my duty to root out any wrongdoers that would dare to attack from the shadows! And just because I'm slightly tipsy, don't think I'm gonna miss. Now, who are you here to assassinate?

[ladyofstars]

I am no assassin. You have nothing to concern yourself with. Now be gone.

[belfar_agent]

D-Don't just shoo me away! If you're not an assassin, then who are you?!

[ladyofstars]

Who I am is no concern of yours.

[belfar_agent]

S-Stop saying that!! I've been charged by the castle lord to keep a census of everyone here! If I can't verify who you are, I'll treat you as a suspicious person!

[ladyofstars]

The acting castle master is already aware of my presence.

[belfar_agent]

I'm not!! I can't make a file report unless I know your name!

[ She steps closer! ]

[ladyofstars]

[Zerase ignores her]

[belfar_agent]

EXCUSE ME! I'm talking to you!

[ Minen steps even closer until she's by Zerase's side, pointing her gun while tugging on her cloak with the other. ]

[ladyofstars]

I tire of this [As she walks away after images of her from, and her voice begins to echo.] I shall take my leave now.

[belfar_agent]

Eeeek!! [ She quickly covers her own mouth before anyone else can hear her scream. ] ...D-Did I drink too much again!?

[ladyofstars]

[walks around the corner and vanishes]

[flamesandfeathers]

[Came outside for some air and see Minen] Hey Minen, you doing okay?

[belfar_agent]

[ Quickly raises her gun again and points it at Hugo out of instinct. ] WAH!!

[flamesandfeathers]

[Hands go into the air]Woah! Minen! It's me! Hugo!

[belfar_agent]

[ She lowers her gun and gets into Hugo's personal space. ] YOU! Tell me you saw that, right?!

[flamesandfeathers]

Saw what? I just came out of the tavern like, thirty seconds ago.

Was it a bandit? [takes his knife out]

[belfar_agent]

A-Actually, I think it was more like a ghost...!

...Not that I believe in that rubbish!

[flamesandfeathers]

A ghost?

What did the ghost look like?

[belfar_agent]

Don't patronize me, boy!! [ Pause. ] She wore a black hood.

[flamesandfeathers]

I'm not patronizing you! I'm getting the information.

Black hood and female.

What did she do?

[belfar_agent]

W-Wait, you actually believe me?

[flamesandfeathers]

Minen, you wouldn't believe the strange things I've seen.

[belfar_agent]

Oh my.. That's not very reassuring...

[flamesandfeathers]

I know.
