Getting Services at a Bar

20 July 2016

21:18 Moral was at the bar. It was late into the afternoon, and the sun was starting to go down and Moral was sitting in the local pub sitting across from a long time associate of his and friend. The two had just been chatting mostly. The unicorn was just resting back, whilst his friend, a diamond dog, was leaning an elbow on the table with his head resting on his hand. The dog was fairly short and lithe and had rough scraggly fur, and was wearing a simple hoodie and collar around his neck, as well as some baggy pants. "You know, I never got why you guys walked around naked all the time. Always seemed a bit odd." The dog says before sipping a drink. Moral just shrugs and has a small laugh at that. "It's not like I know. I never really question it."

21:27 GyroFeather continues to cast an eye back at the diamond dog who decided to take up residence next to him at the bar. The gryphon steadily sips on his drink, flinching as he hears the strange discussion going on over his shoulder with that nasty creature. Finally he cant bite his tongue anymore. "Its because, unlike you mutts...we dont need to protect ourselves from having a naturally filty existance.

21:39 Moral frowns. The dog's ears flicker a bit at that. That bit of bitterness certainly was unexpected and it took a second for the dog to react after the initial bit silence caused by gyro's outburst. He puffs his chest up and lets out a low growl, before turning to face the pony next to him, the dog looking gyro right in the eye. Moral just leans over the so he can see past the dog. "Well then... you're certainly a charismatic one, aren't you." He sounded rather aloof, trying to downplay the situation.

21:44 < GyroFeather> (Gryphon beside him :P)

21:46 < Moral> [buuuuuuuuuuuh sorry

21:46 < GyroFeather> (moral is a guard?

21:47 < Moral> [no, he's just some bloke for all you know]

21:47 GyroFeather puffs up his feathered chest as the dog stares him straight in the eyes and makes himself tall in his stool. "Creatures like you test my patience. I dont even know what you're doing in town..shouldnt you be back in your den or robbing a gem store or somethign?" He offers and then casts his glance towards Moral. "And how does a respectable stallion meet such a creature anyways?"

21:53 < Moral> "Certainly not by trying to throw down with one at bar." He says before sighing and taking a long sip of his drink. "Saihe, you know he's not worth it, right?" The dog just keeps growling quietly and staring down the griffon, before going silent and turning away. "I know, it's just funny to see a pretty boy like him try and start something."

21:58 GyroFeather snorts and turns his beak up at the stallion. "He woudlnt dare lay a pay upon me. The guards would have him wrapped up so quick he woudlnt manage to ruffle a single feather," he asserts. The gryphon beams a bit at being called a pretty boy though, he knew he was. "I like to keep my atmosphere just as pretty you know."

22:10 Moral shifts uncomfortably. The dog grumbles a bit before looking at Moral for a second and just getting up to take his leave.The pony sighs "I'm terribly sorry." He says to the dog as he walks off, before turning to gyro "You know, when you start to pick a fight with spooky people that look like they're from the bad side a town, it's not so much you getting beat up in the bar that you should be afraid of. Personally I'd be afraid of being followed home." He says casually.

22:16 GyroFeather looks a little more comfortable as the diamond dog, the odd man out in the bar, leaves. "I'm not picking a fight, I'm just trying to clear the air here of filth. Anyways, its not like something like that can fly so I dont think I have to worry about that." The gryphon's composre turns ot ne just a little more cheery now as he regards teh pony, taking in his form. "Anyways, I dont think I've seen you here before. And as I know everyone who comes round here, I ought to know you. Gyro." he offers holding out a claw, as if the previous unpleasantness had not happened. THe gryphon too was an odd one in a mostly pony bar.

22:22 Moral gets a big grin "I go by Moral" he says plainly before waving his own hoof, trying to dismiss gyro's claw. "There's no need for that." He says simply, keeping his calm cheerful look. "You know, you've an interesting way of picking up a conversation. I take it you're a charmer?" He says before sipping some of his drink.

22:25 < GyroFeather> (What is moral!)

22:25 < Moral> [unicorn]

22:25 < GyroFeather> (colors, genearl description?)

22:28 GyroFeather shrugs and withdraw's his claw, turning to take another sip of his drink. He gives a little snicker a the assertion and then shakes his head. "Dont worry your sweet little flank. I'm not intersteed in trying to charm myself under your tailhole." He says with a giggle. "You still havnt told me what brought you hear this evening though."

22:31 < Moral> [he's thin, and about as tall as big mac, got a long unkept green mane and red fur.

22:32 < GyroFeather> (christmas pone :P)

22:33 Moral shrugs as well and has a little chuckle at what gyro had to say. "Well, I was looking to chat with a friend over some drinks, but that ships seems to have sunk." He says before taking another sip.

22:37 GyroFeather rolls his eyes at the pony and then looks around the room. "You brought a diamond dog to a pony bar? You'd have been better taking him out to one of the more crass places out near the docks." He says without a hint of irony in his voice.

22:38 Moral frowns. "Then what are you doing here?" He asks, before looking at the griffon and making a tiny 'heh'. "Doesn't seem to smart of you to hang in a 'pony' bar either then."

22:41 GyroFeather gives a shrug and takes another drink. "Oh, well I've got a bit of a reputation of sorts around here. Plus I'm actually a pony anyways. This is just a phase." He says, waving a claw dismissively.

22:44 Moral snorts. "And what kind of reputation is that?" He says raising an eyebrow and sizing up the pretty bird, sounding more condesending than impressed.

22:47 GyroFeather grins at the edges of his beak and responds, "Well...I know almost every regular around here and they know me, and they know I keep the trouble out of here, and bring the mares in."

22:49 Moral gets a big grin, before chuckling a bit. "Oh, so you're a tough guy eh? niiiiiice." He says before looking off toward the bar. "And you keep trouble out? Are you trying to intimidate me...? Set me straight?"

22:53 GyroFeather raises a claw in a bit of a shrug as he meets Moral's eyes. "Intimidate you? Nah I think you're just fine. You asked what my reputation is around here afterall. WHat is it you do anyways? I dont know anything about you other than the rabble you keep as company."

22:56 Moral shrugs. "I just curious sometimes. I tend not to pick up on things unless they're spelled out to me." He says before sipping his drink again. "So, how exactly do you keep the trouble out eh?"

23:02 GyroFeather waves a claw through the air. "I think you laredy saw a bit of dmonstration of what it is I do. I just make it sure that they're well aware that they're not welcome here and that any minor reason they give to have the guards called, they will get it.

23:05 Moral shakes his head. "Well, it's good to see you treat jackassery as if it were a crowning achivement" he mutters before rolling his eyes and looking back at Gyro, his eyes scanning back and forth between gyro's. "And you of all people walk around like a peacock?"

23:13 GyroFeather rolls his eyes and brings his rather prominent tail feathers to bare. "I mean....I sor of am a peacock right now. I'll be a pony again soon enough though," he says, "As soon as I can find that stripey and force them to change me back."

23:17 < Moral> "Stripy?" He says before rolling his eyes. "Aren't you just a character..."

23:21 GyroFeather grunts. "Well its one of their faults that I'm stuck as a gryphon instead of the unicorn I ought to be."

23:29 Moral shrugs. "So, what makes you feel so admimant about spooking off anyone you don't like?"

23:36 GyroFeather downs the rest of his drink. "Because I know what the other patrons like, and most of them just dont have the moxie to speak their mind like that."

23:36 < Moral> "So why speak for them? It's not your obligation to do their job for them."

23:38 GyroFeather shrugs. "No its not an obligation, but it does help to keep the place nice."

23:41 Moral laughs "Heh. so, the place is nicer with a snoody unicorn who doesn't keep his mouth shut, but a quiet dog who minds his own buisness is where you personally draw the line?"

23:45 GyroFeather snorts at him. "Well, if you consider yourself to be a snooty unicorn, I imagine you'll fit into this place well enough. Its for ponies with discerning tastes."

23:48 Moral bites his lip. "Oh...." he says, before looking around. "I try to keep things more laid back actually... come to think of it."

23:51 GyroFeather snickers, "Well, but you did just refer to yourself as a snooty unicorn who doesnt keep his mouth shut, and I'm certainly inclinded to agree with that descriotipn.

23:52 Moral says "I'm a lot things really, it depends mostly on my mood. That being said it's good to know you all keep to yourselves. I find it scum are at their best when they're busy bothing themselves in an echo chamber."

23:56 < GyroFeather> (Nini Moral!)

00:44 < -> randomUsr is now known as Inky

10:18 < -> Kassc is now known as Losian

20:38 < -> SorrenSpeak is now known as Sorren

20:46 GyroFeather looks at the unicorn and clicks his beak. "YOu see, I agree. Thats why we do our best to keep the skum out. Now what was it you said you do anyways Moral?"

20:53 Moral shrugs. "I mostly do odd jobs and the like, and I do a lot of networking." he says plainly. "I get to me a lot interesting people. Like that dog you scared out."

21:00 GyroFeather taps his talons on the bar as he thinks over what Moral said. Odd jobs huh? The gryphon gets a little idea and leans down to whisper into his ear. "I might have a job that needs doing. There's a gryphon who's being rather troublesome, but he's a favorite of the ship yard, so I cant get him fired...if ou could find some dirt on him..." the gryphon whispers.

21:06 Moral raises an eyebrow. and looks at gyro. "You know, this isn't the type of place I'd even consider discussing this sort of thing, especially when those spooky guards are all around."

21:10 GyroFeather rolls his eyes as he glances around the room. "Its nothing illegal perse" he speaks lightly at the pony, and I think the guards arent really paying much attention anyways. They're just over there at the front."

21:12 Moral sighs> "Look, I've a guy who could do this, but I need to know how you'd ever make this worth my while." He says plainly before smilling at Gyro and getting a big smile. "I hope you know I try to keep close to the upper end of the market, pretty bird."

21:15 GyroFeather licks his beak and narrows his eyes at Moral. "I wouldnt trust anyone I've not met in the feather...or fur as it were." he responds, "So I hope this person is rather close at hoof. And Yes, I've got a bit of money to my name. What dose thsi guy think they're worth?"

21:18 < -> Sorren is now known as Shayne

21:22 Moral responds. "If you want to talk with him, I can set you up to meet him somewhere. but keep in mind I don't know anything more about this, alright? I try to keep my hooves clean from this kind of stuff."

21:24 < GyroFeather> (Darn I thought I'd found a hook D:)

21:26 < Moral> [if he needs work done, he certainly knows where to find him]

21:27 < GyroFeather> (By hook I mean someway to make gyro and Moral meetup later)

21:29 < Moral> [buuuuh, I mean, any money he'd be giving would be going through him first]

21:31 GyroFeather frowns at the offer and then shakes his head. He flags the bartender over and orders another drink for himself, adn then one for Moral as well. Maybe his friend needed a little more in him before he'd agree. "Well...I'm not really one to go through second hoof sources...so forget I said ainything then," he sighs and glances up towards the ceiling.

21:33 Moral reponds "I mean, do you really think someone like me would be all snoopy? I don't get my hooves dirty. That's what Saihe and the others are for."

21:43 GyroFeather slides the second drink that the bartender arrives infront of Moral and then takes a swig of his own. "You make a louse person to advertise doing odd jobs if you arent willing to do them yourself. Sounds much more like a general contractor instead of someone truly compitent," he responds, trying to egg him on.

21:45 Moral sighs "Look, I'm not going to go on." he says before frowning. "I doesn't matter what I am to you, so long as you get what you want and I and my associates get what they want." He says before getting a big frown. "I get results. I wouldn't bother worrying about anthing else. Hun."

21:59 GyroFeather pretends to be disintersted and goes back to gulping his drink. "Well...if you dont want the 600 bits that I figured this would be worth, I suppose that I can find somepony else to do it," he responds. "I told you, I work only directly with ponies, not through their handlers."

22:01 Moral grunts "That's your perogative I spose' especially when you're going to low ball." He me says before using his magic to slide his drink back at gyro. "I know limit, and I stay within it, hun."

22:05 GyroFeather shrugs once more and downs the rest of his drink. "If that's not the type of odd jobs you do then, what is your repitoure? Because those who say odd jobs usually mean the less savory things."

22:09 Moral shakes his head. "Nothing of use to a gryphon." He says to him before getting a big grin. "Mostly just information and the like. I'm a bit choosy though in who I deal with, and you certainly aren't one I'd ever work with."

22:13 GyroFeather snorts at the unicorn and shakes his head. "Thats all I was asking for, you dolt, just a little bit of information. And I'd be surprised if you have enough clients to keep you employed, and employes to subcontract to. I'm sure they'd know they're getting better rates going through themselves."

22:19 < Moral> [buuuh need to brb

23:00 Moral rolls his eyes. "They'd be in more danger too." He goes silent for a moment before speaking. "I don't deal with that kind of information. I deal the sort of stuff that is of little value to those who've no idea how to use it."
