The Endless Storm {Open and Accepting}
http://www.gonewiththewindonkeukalak...dge%20snow.JPG Welcome to your last stop within the dangerous snow storm; this inn is the only safe place that goes on for miles among miles that feels like there is no end to the storm. The name of this lovely place is the Crescent Moon Inn; the reason behind the name of the inn is because usually within a storm like this. Looking outside into the storm; one wouldn't usually find anything but the blurriness of the snow blowing. Than when someone were to look up to the sky, they usually wouldn't see any stars or any moon due to the clouds covered up everything because of the storm. Although here at this inn, the entire area that surrounds the inn is a bit strange. It also gets hit hard by the storm but it remains to be standing as though the storm were nothing but a little breeze and once inside; its as though you feel like nothing is wrong outside. While here, if someone were to look out the window and up into the sky; anyone would be able to see the beautiful stars and the crescent moon up high in the sky. There are many different areas that you may enjoy within the inn: The check-in area / Lobby Music Room Spa / Hot springs room Kitchen (only for staff) Meeting room for staff Indoor gym Indoor swimming pool Greenhouse garden Dining room Bar There are also multiple different areas that are connected through a long snowy path outside of the inn. Strangely enough as well, whenever you will end up reaching one of the different areas; the snow storm will strangely vanish as though it were never snowing. However when you return to the inn, it shall return. The different areas that you may visit are: 1. A village filled with people and markets that sell almost everything. 2. Another village that is about half a mile from that one; but is burnt down to the ground with supposed spirits of the dead villagers haunting the area. 3. A graveyard right in between the path leading between the two villages. 4. A large crystal clear lake hidden within the forest nearby from the inn. 5. A large field of all different kinds of flowers planted by no one knows who. 6. A giant tree that had been there in the middle of the forest that is higher than all the other trees. 7. A graveyard that is near to the left direction of the destoryed and burnt down village. |

Alura awoke from a dreamless sleep. "Still snowing." she murmured softly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Once her eyes were clear Alura pulled back the covers and jumped out of bed. She studied her wardrobe for a quick second before grabbing a black bikini top with a white skull and crossbone on one side and a bio-hazard symbol on the other, and a pair of low-slung jeans. Alura ran a brush through her brown hair, although the mirror seemed to disagree. In the mirror was a white-lavender haired woman, with sharp claws and misty swirls about her.
Alura put down her brush and quickly turned away from the mirror. "Leave me alone." she spoke to her reflection. Alura was a demon, not just any demon, but the daughter of Lucifer. "I left you behind on purpose." her eyes narrowed as she grabbed a black zippered hoodie, and left her room. She shook her head to rid herself of the painful reminder of her other self, and bounced merrily down the steps to the main floor. There weren't many guests about at the moment, but Alura was happiest in the bar. Alura looked about. "Hey Hiroshi! Good Morning!" she called out, unsure of where her boss was. |
Sitting with the music Hiroshi was actually taking off the old covers that were covering over all the instruments within the room. All of them were being preserved by himself since he didn't want them to gather up dust too much. It had taken up lots of time to build this inn as well as lots of work so he never wanted them to gather dust while he worked on the inn. Taking off the covers now since the inn itself was now open and ready for business. Hiroshi gave a small smile as he looked around the entire room, only to see the piano, drums, trumpets, guitars and many other instruments. Making his way over toward the large black piano; Hiroshi took a seat on the chair before running his fingers across all the keys softly, just enough so that he wouldn't make a singe note get pressed. Looking at his fingers right after, he noticed how not even a single speck of dust was on his fingers; meaning the piano along with the other instruments were still clean as though they were brand new.
A small smile spread across his face when he noticed how the piano was actually still in brand new condition. He took in a deep breath for a moment before sighing it out as he placed both his hands onto the keys of the piano as though he were about to play it. It had been some time since he last played any of these instruments but that didn't stop him from still knowing how to play it; due to his love of music. Although right before he could even play the right keys to start his song, Hiroshi stumbled forward and pressed on several random keys loudly from hearing a female call out his name; tell him good morning. "What the hell?..?" he whispered to himself, turning his attention toward the exit of the music room from where he heard the voice. It was Alura, no doubt; there was no way he could forget that tone of voice as he gave a little sigh but before long a little smile spread across his face once more. Making his way right out of the music room and toward the lobby room, Hiroshi turned his head left and right for a moment to see where Alura was. Soon enough he began to make his way toward the bar, since he remembered that was the job she had asked for when Alura had come here to look for a job. Seeing her there he gave a little wave of his arm before scratching the back of his head along with a small chuckle escaping his lips. "Hey there Alura. Morning to you too." he stated before making his way over toward one of the stools in front of the bar and taking a seat on one of them. "Think we'll get any customers today?" |
Alura smiled brightly as she wiped down the counters and polished glasses until they shined. "Hiroshi! Oh I hope so! It would be marvelous to see the inn full of people." She did a spin behind the bar, her dogtag necklace clinking merrily as she moved.
The woman turned to make sure she had everything she needed set up, before moving about the small room, gathering the cloths off of tables and chairs. Alura was careful that no dust settled on the furniture as she moved the cloths to the laundry. "What all still needs to be done until we're ready?" She called out as she re-entered the room. "Or do you have everything taken care of again." Alura giggled softly. |
While Hiroshi continued to sit there on the stool in front of the bar stand, he simply watched how Alura was cleaning the glasses the whole time. It wasn't much a surprise to him when he had heard how she had spoken up so loudly, as though she truly wanted to have more guests come into the inn. Truly, he wanted the samething however, he wasn't really ever much of the type to be as hyperactive as she was. From the first time he had met her was when Alura came to the inn, just looking at how she dressed was already easy to give away that she was the hyperactive type like that. Much of her history was kind of a mystery even to him since he never really thought about asking her about it; but that was only to the thought that she probably just didn't want to talk about it.
Crossing his arms on the bar counter as Hiroshi watched her moving about the room to grab the cloths as well as making sure that each of the tables had no dust on them. Ready for any guest to come into the inn and have a drink if not stay away from this horrible storm going on outside. The last thing he was expecting was when she spoke up, asking if there was anything else needed to be done or if everything was already done as usual. A little chuckle escaped his lips as he looked up toward the ceiling for a moment to think of anything else that needed to be done. "Hmm...nothing I can think of. Unless you want to go make some breakfast with me for any guest coming in. I thought about making some for anyone..but was afraid that we wouldn't get any guest today. So it'd get cold." he explained before scratching the back of his head and turning his attention back over toward her. "You hungry?.." |
Alura walked up and sat next to Hiroshi at the bar, as he though over her question. She twirled a lock of brown hair around her finger. She happened to glance and noticed silver-y lavender strand. With wide eyes, she quickly tucked the strand away, hoping the normal brown would cover it. She wasn't quite ready to explain herself yet. Only if she was asked would she tell her story.
"I'm starving Hiroshi. We could prepare a cold breakfast, or one thats easy to heat up, if guests arrive. Oh, I know a lovely recipe for a slow cooked stew that I could start at lunch and have ready by supper. Since I slow cook it, it stays warm for a very long time." She smiled. |
Squinting into the snowfall, Tali made a sound of disgust as she realized that she could see no better than before. A gust of wind swirled around her legs, lifting up the tattered edges of her long shirt before they died down. If anyone had been around, she might have been embarrassed, but as no one was, she didn't worry about it. Frowning, she gathered up flames in a ball before launching it through the air, hoping to clear up some of the snow as she did so. Unfortunately, the blizzard filled in the hole she had made shortly afterward.
As it was, the snow never touched her. Nor did she feel cold. Her body temperature, aka insanely high, melted it all before it ever got close enough. In fact, the only reason the snow around her wasn't gone already was because she didn't want to walk through a swamp. Sighing, she figured it was best to continue, plodding along with her bare feet. About ten minutes later, Tali found herself standing outside of a wooden cabin, the lights shining brightly from inside. Smiling widely at her good fortune, she hopped forward, using heated air to sustain her leap until she was on the porch. She proceeded to knock on the door loudly then, hoping that whoever lived there would let her stay for a while. She had lost the hunters in the woods earlier, but she could still remember feeling the tree behind her quiver as the icy crossbow bolt embedded itself into the bark. |
(Codette: not sure chu noticed ^^'' but just pinging chu tew let chu know the rp moving :3)
Turning his attention right over toward the stool next to him, Hiroshi had noticed how Alura seemed to make her way over toward the seat next to him for a moment. A quick smile spread across his face as he turned his attention back forward to look at the bar counter. There were many different brands of drinks here at this inn but never once did Hiroshi even think once about taking even the smallest sip of any of it. While his attention was focused on the drinks in front of him, so that he could see each and everyone of them; he didn't notice the strand of silvery lavender hair that Alura seemed to quickly pluck out of the way. If he had seen it however, there was a good chance that he would've ended up asking about it. Since the entire time since Hiroshi had first met Alura, he had simply thought of her as a human that was actually strong enough to make her way around in this huge blizzard. By the time he had heard her reply about making a cold breakfast that could be easily reheated for the guests. He simply nodded before standing up onto his feet to go to the kitchen and prepare something simple like that. Although, it wasn't long before he heard that she had a great recipe for a stew that she could make during lunch and would last until supper before it would be done. Hearing that, Hiroshi nodded once more toward the idea. "Yeah, that'd be great. We--" as he was about to finish his sentence, the sound of the front door of the inn knocking caught his attention. Turning his head over toward the direction of the front door, his own eyes widened up in a bit of shock that they had a guest. "Oh, thats shocking. We have a guest. Why don't you go introduce them for me Alura? I'll go get breakfast set up in the dining room." Hiroshi explained right before he turned to make his way toward the kitchen. |
(sorry had a hectic new years ^.^' I'm back now)
Alura had been following Hiroshi, pulling her brown hair over her shoulder. She smiled when he liked her idea, and then quickly spun when she heard the knocking at the door. "oh my. Yes, I'll go get them!" Alura's smile brightened, and she rushed to the front of the inn. Alura pulled open the door and smiled. "Hi, Welcome to the Crescent Moon Inn! Please come in!" She gestured, welcoming the young girl. "My name is Alura and I'm the bartender and resident secret keeper. The owner is in the kitchen preparing breakfast, if you'd like to join me in the dining room?" |
((Don't worry about it. :3))
Rocking on the balls of her feet, Tali was getting a bit impatient with how long it was taking for someone to answer the door. Were they asleep or something? It was hard to tell what time of day it was in the blizzard, but it couldn't be that early. Could it? Groaning, she was about to turn and leave, but she stopped when she heard footsteps on the other side. Instantly, she whipped around, putting on a small smile and offering a silent thanks. "Nice ta meetcha!" Tali replied, stepping over the threshold. Instantly, the temperature inside seemed to climb a few degrees, despite Tali's efforts to keep her power in check. "Breakfast sounds yummy!" Her bare feet were tickled by the carpet as she followed Alura, causing her to giggle slightly. Then they reached the linoleum, and her laughter was replaced with the sound of skin slapping against the slick surface. Her tattered nightshirt, which hang down to her knees, was ruffled by an updraft coming off of her body every so often, though she didn't seem to notice as she sat down at the long table, eagerly anticipating some food. She hadn't eaten in... three days? It was kind of hard to tell, but it was definitely two or three days. Being on the run most of the time meant that she didn't have time to stop and get a meal anywhere. Usually she could have killed something, but the blizzard made that incredibly hard. |
Alura noticed a strange increase in the buildings warmth, but shrugged it off. It was nice.
"So whats your name, and what brings you to the Inn?" Alura asked, making small talk, as she gathered plates, cutlery and glasses, for Hiroshi, their guest and herself. "Is there anything specific you do or don't enjoy? I can tell Hiroshi to alter the menu, although I'm not sure what we're to have for breakfast." |
Due to her small stature, her feet dangled off the seat a bit, her kicking them as she waited for the food. She was a little hesitant to answer Alura's questions, but did so anyway. "Oh, sorry. My name is Tali Paendrag," she replied sheepishly, her formality betraying her social awkwardness. "I suppose I'm here to avoid some creepy people who have been chasing me all over the place. You don't get a lot of guests here, right?"
As she waited for a response, she eyed the dining utensils appreciatively. They looked beautiful! The next question caught her by surprise as well, and she found herself chewing her bottom lip lightly as she thought it over. "Anything is good, I suppose, but I really love the... strips of pig? Do you know what I'm talking about?" she asked, blushing lightly as she spoke. The fact that she didn't know the name of bacon showed that she was not all that educated, as it was truly ignorance and not just a failing of memory. |
Alura smiled softly. "It's a pleasure to meet you Tali. You're our first guest, hopefully not the last, but you're welcome to stay as long as you need too. After breakfast either Hiroshi or myself can take you on a tour."
She watched as Tali thought over the question. "strips of pig? Oh Bacon! Yes it is delicious. I can ask Hiroshi to prepare some if you like." Alura's soft smile never lost patience. "If you don't mind waiting here for a bit. Oh! Is there any beverage you would like, coffee, water, juice, tea?" |
"A tour sounds nice," Tali replied, looking around at the room. The mahogany wood that made up the walls was polished to a reflective shine, which gave the entire room an air of elegance. There were also various plants in each of the corners, which added a spice of color and diversity. In all, it was probably incredibly expensive. As it was, she couldn't wait to see what the rest of the place was like. It was definitely one of the best places she had stayed at.
"Yeah... that," Tali muttered quietly, still blushing at her lack of knowledge. "I like juice. Do you have something tropical? Like grapefruit or papayas? Or a blend? I love tropical fruit." At the mention of drinks, she had perked up, glad that Alura hadn't made fun of her ignorance. She was curious about Hiroshi though. It was to be expected though. She hadn't seen him yet, so he remained a mystery figure, and the imagination was always more creative than reality concerning people. |
While Alura had gotten up to go introduce the new guest to the inn, Hiroshi had already made his own way into the kitchen. As soon as he made his way through the double doors that lead into the kitchen; he immediately came to a complete stop as he scratched the back of his head in curiosity of what to make for breakfast. With a small sigh he made his way straight over toward the fridge where he opened it to look for something he could make. There were so many different choices of food; but he had to pick something and make it already. Having brand new guests waiting forever for food was a horrible way to start off their first time coming here. So just grabbing a large box full of pancake mix; he made his way straight over toward the stove where there was a pan already setup for making breakfast or any kind of food. The pan was set here by Hiroshi himself during the morning when he was getting everything ready to begin with.
All of a sudden, without even a bit of a warning to himself; Hiroshi gave out a sharp whistle in the middle of the kitchen as a pitch black raven bolted into the room with it's dark red eyes and a strange cross-shaped necklace around it's neck. Pouring the pancake mix into the pan and letting it cook under the roaring flame from underneath the pan, he had already known this raven was in the room; since he had called for it. "Yukito, get the fruit ready and bring it to the dining room." He ordered out, to the raven as it gave a quick crow-like noise from it's beak before flying around the kitchen room to get two baskets from the drawers. Laying them both down onto the counter it made it's own way over toward the fridge; opening it to grab a couple of different fruits, such as apples, bananas, pears, etc. After grabbing all the fruits it needed to fill up both the baskets, Yukito grabbed onto both the baskets with one in each of it's own talons. Flapping it's wings to get itself into the air and straight out a pair of different double doors that lead into the dining room. Yukito flew over toward one of the tables within the room laying one basket on one table while another onto a separate table. Straight after doing so, it immediately flew back into the kitchen where it hopped itself onto the counter to watch Hiroshi cook the pancakes. There were about five plates already out, sitting next to the stove. Three of them already had two pancakes each on them; while the last two plates, Hiroshi was beginning to make pancakes for those as well. Unaware of what the new guest wanted for breakfast anyway. |
Scarlett opened the Inn door, snow flying in around her. She looked very upset, tired, and obviously not happy to have walked in the snow for miles to get here. She wore dark skinny jeans, black fur boots and then a black long sleeved V neck shirt under her button up black fleece coat. She ran her hand through her dark, wavy hair and then stepped aside so that Troy could come in. She shut the door behind him and pulled her brown duffel bag a little more onto her shoulder. Her emerald eyes glanced around the room, taking it all in. "Oh Troy, it is quite lovely." She said, smiling. She glanced at the window. How odd, the storm looked so calm from inside.
But odd things didn't puzzle Scarlett anymore. She had seen it all. She glanced around the entrance. "Hello?" She called softly, not knowing if there was someone she could check in with for a room. Even though she had no love interest in Troy, she still wanted to share a room with him. He was like her older brother. And in a new, kind of scary place, she needed him. She cursed under her breath. Her angelic rants sometimes worried her to the point of annoying her demonic side. That was the bad thing about their species. They were very unbalanced. She glanced to Troy who had only a black duffel bag, and then shrugged. "Maybe this place isn't open." She said, but then after looking around her senses were telling her someone had recently been here. She gave Troy a small smile. "I hope they have a pool. I haven't been swimming in ages.."Her voice trailed off as she stared around the room. Troy stepped into the Inn after Scarlett, helping her shut the door to keep from any snow blowing in. Once inside he glanced to the window. Odd. But not odd enough for Troy to truly care. He smirked at Scarlett staring around in awe. "Scar, we've seen so many things. It amazes me how after so long you still gawk at everything beautiful." He chuckled, shaking his head. The tall male pulled his black duffel bag closer to him. "Wonder where they are.." He mumbled. As he stared at Scarlett he knew she'd want him to sleep in the same room as her. But he would, for he knew how bad her nightmares were. Plus being in a relationship together as more than friends never worked for them. They had tried once, but it always ended in arguments. But still they clung to each other because they were the only things they had left from their old life. The rest had been burned. But luckily him and Scar could just live as friends, because they were both too stubborn to be a couple. He nodded. "I hope they have a pool too. The last time I swam was with you in Greece. And we both remember how long ago that was." He said, smirking. Too long. It had been over fifty years since they had last seen each other. But finally they had found each other and decided to visit home. They knew they had to do that to find peace. |
The bird that flew out of the kitchen surprised Tali, who found herself staring as it deposited it's load of fruit before returning from whence it came. "Does that happen a lot?" she asked Alura, still staring after the bird. As a rule, she loved birds. How could she not when she was part phoenix? "He was definitely a very pretty bird." Grinning, she grabbed a piece of fruit from the basket, biting into it without hesitation.
A few minutes later, the fruit was gone, and she was wiping the juice from her smiling face. The fruit was richer and sweeter than any she had had before. Certainly the inn was a higher-end facility. That thought brought along worries as well. How could she possibly pay for a room? She didn't have any money at all. The sound of the door opening and people entering broke her out of her daze, leading her to dive under the table as fast as possible to remain hidden, her skin actually giving off little trails of flame as she prepared to defend herself. As it was, she could probably incapacitate them and make a run for it, but if they had the same weapons as before, she didn't think she would make it. |
Alura smiled. "Thats Yukito, Hiroshi's pet, I think, or maybe they're just friends. I'll be right back!" She smiled at the girl.
Alura rushed to the Kitchen. "Hey Hiroshi, our guest wants some kind of tropical fruit juice if you can manage it. I'm going to greet our new guest. Not sure how many but you might want to prepare at least two more plates." The girl flounced off before listening to his response and headed to the front door. "Hi! Welcome to the Crescent Moon Inn. I'm Alura, bartender and resident secret keeper." she smiled warmly. "May I have your names, and would you like to join us for breakfast?" Everything about the girl was warm and inviting. |
Scarlett looked over at the girl. "My names Scarlett Andrews and this is my friend Troy Todd." She said, glancing to him. "Breakfast sounds nice." She said, smiling. As her eyes scanned over the girl she bit her bottom lip. Where had she seen her before? She looked to Troy and could tell from the way his black eyes stared at the girl.
Scarlett saw were the breakfast was being held and glanced back to Troy. "Troy, how about you find out the room number and I'll go eat." She said, flashing her pearly whites at him. She watched him chuckle, handed him her bag and then went down the hall to where she smelled food. The thin female that stood about 5'9 bobbed up and down slightly at the sight of a meal. It had been a few days since she and Troy had eaten anything. Her emerald eyes lit up, and then glanced around the room looking for whoever was in charge of the food. Troy chuckled at Scarlett and took her bag. "Kay Scar. Grab me a plate too." He said, then his dark eyes went over the girl. Where had he seen her? She looked familiar. He pushed his thoughts away. "So is there anything else you need to know?" He asked, looking down at her. He was a tall man that was rather strong, but with an average muscular appearance. He was slim and handsome, but not too overly cocky about his appearance. He could actually rather care less about what he looked like. He glanced to the window, watching the snow gently hit the window. "Oh, Scar wanted to know if there was an indoor pool?" He asked, his eyes glancing back at the girl. |
Alura smiled. "Welcome Scarlett and Troy." She went behind the desk, scribbled something on some paper.
"Right through those doors is the dinning room. Another guest is already in there if you'd like to join her. And if you go up those stairs" she gestured to her left." you'll find the bedrooms. Just pick one that suits your needs and let me know which one it is. Usually Hiroshi deals with all of this, but he's busy in the kitchen at the moment." Alura laughed a little. She was actually a bit nervous. She recognized the two of them, just barely, but she did. She hid her nervousness, and walked out from behind the desk. "There is an indoor pool, as well as a indoor hot spring." Alura walked towards the dining room doors. "Oh, may I ask if theres anything you both would prefer with breakfast, a certain food or beverage, or anything you both dislike to eat?" |
