Name is a work-in-progress. ;D
So, inspired by the great topic of Zenko News, Here's a topic for all the rumors you can hear as you nurse a pint in the Phoenix Tavern!
============================
Miner: You hear? Mistress Xela's been 'napped!
Worker: You serious?? Does this mean we get time off??
Miner: Like hell! I hear Val and Cala have taken charge. Wouldnt be surprised if we have to work double hours!
Worker: ...Hey, barman, get me another pint!
-
Miner 1: Did you hear what they did to John?
Miner 2: Huh? What happened to John?
Miner 1: They say Valencia caught him talking about that she would have us all work double time.
Miner 2: Oh god....what happened then?
Miner 1: Apparently he's working 17 hours a day now, with only 6 hours of sleep and a 1 hour break for food.
Miner 2: Harsh dude...harsh...
-
Worker: You seen that new Luca guy?
Guard: The tall white Jackel?
Worker: yeah him, know where hes from?
Guard: Not sure, i heard he knows Xela though
Worker2: I heard hes an old fling
Miner: nono, he was her teacher
Drunk Miner: I heard he was a duck!
*all look at him*
Guard: ...well the thing is..dont you think it strange that someone like him shows up...then This all happens?
-
Worker: You know that white sergal that hangs around the alchemist's place?
Worker 2: You mean his daughter?
Worker: Yeah, she's been freaking out at almost anyone who tries to talk to her. I heard she saw Mistress Xela get taken away.
Worker 2: Odd, she was always so quiet, I can't see her doing something like that.
Worker: Well, everyone snaps. What I want to know is why she didn't do anything, if she was there? What kind of idiot just sits there and lets someone get dragged off without lifting a finger?
-
Worker: So... did you hear Cala is gay?
Worker2: Seriously? I know that guy attacked her... but daym, it was that bad?
Worker: Must of been, saw her knocking knees with a hot local.
Worker2: D: dont let her hear you were spying on her, remember what happened to John..
Worker: It was just outside this Tavern!
Worker2: ...I need to drink here more often. Barry, how's about another ale!
-
Miner: So, its good to see things are improving around here.
Worker: Oh, about Val being rescued?
Miner: Of course, even if she does work us hard... its good to have leadership.
Worker: Talking of leadership, have you met the princess?
Miner: Princess?
Worker: Whatshername... Rose. Hazel and Xela's daughter. Seems she's been sneaking into the camp and tavern lately, telling people what to do.
Miner: Bloody hell, isnt she a bit young for that?
Worker: That's what you'd think... but she looks to be in her early teens. Must be some more of Hazel's crazy magics...
Miner: ..I'd drink to that!
-
Miner: So have you seen Lady Valencia yet?
Worker: It's Lady Valencia now huh? And no I haven't.
Miner: Hey, I don't want to work double time like John! But erm, I have seen her, all bandaged up...and with a huge stomach
Worker: Was that batcat guy stuffing her for a meal? Sick...
Miner: No you idiot, she's pregnant!
Worker: Oh! Well that does mean she wont order us around much...
Miner: Shh! They say she has ears everywhere!
Worker: Aw crap....barkeep, another pint.
-
Miner 1: Have you seen that new guard?
Miner2: You mean that green husky that always where the hood?
Miner1: Aye, i heard he was from siberia and could out drink a dragon!
Miner2: Is that so? Hey george, you have a drinking challenger!
Miner1: Aye, and he's from Siberia!
Miner3: From siberia? Humph..Best start practicing. Barkeep! Another round!
-
1: Hey man. How've ya been?
2: Not good, mate... Still really sore.
1: Sore? What from?
2: Y'know that water person that got hired to watch the port?
1: Ah, miss Sparklehair?
2: Hah, don't let her catch you call her that...
1: Nah I won't. So what happened?
2: Well I kinda found her a bit cute, so I decided I'd try and befriend her. Even tho' she's a demon and all.
1: And?
2: I was kinda drunk at the time so I thought trying to kiss her to show me good will and all was a good idea.
1: I take it it didn't go well?
2: No. She got angry, called me a dick and then used her water magic to slam me against the wall a couple of times and then...
1: Then?
2: ...Put it this way, it frikkin' hurts to sit.
1: .... damn. You're gonna need another one of them pints, I think.
2: Aye, I do...

Sailor: So, any interestin' gossip around these parts?
Miner: Well.. it seems we've got two new guards. Magic users too... I hear they are sisters. A fire and a water magic user.
Sailor: Oh?
Miner: Well.. you've got the fire one. She's just outside doing some kind of fire dance. And the water chick is guarding the dock.
Sailor: Aaah, the half naked one? Mmmm, a nice sight when we docked, I must say.
Miner: In other news... Miss Xela seems to be acting odd.. again.
Sailor: How so?
Miner: Every time she visits the Tavern, she seems to be in a different outfit.
Sailor: Well.. duh! she is a woman! 'Course she's going to wear different outfits!
Miner: ...I still find it odd.. ...and since when does she act a woman?
Sailor: You worry too much. Barkeep, a drink!
-
Sailor: So have you seen them yet?
Miner: Huh? Seen who?
Sailor: Lady Valencia and her mate have returned from their journey.
Miner: What? Really? They have been gone for a good two years, why did she leave again?
Sailor: That whole incident with that batcat, and because she wanted to give birth in her homeland...oddly enough, neither her or her mate carried children with them.
Miner: Maybe she ate them, she is a demon yanno.
Sailor: Hush you! or have you forgotten how she used to punish you workers?
Miner: Aw crap...you're right....barkeep, another pint.

Workerer #1: Hey, you remember that guy we helped up the stairs the other week?
Worker #2: Yea, the old guy? Didn't he used to work here?
Worker #1: Yup! He was that guard that used to be nice and help us out! Plus he could drink any of us under the table! I swear I saw a younger version of him visit yesterday....except this new guy was wearing noble attire and some armor!
Worker #2: Can't be the same guy! The green huskie never wore a shirt much less armor.
Worker #1: I swears it was!
Worker #2: You're drunk....comeone let's go.
Worker #1: Aww....one more drink. Barkeep!

Wench 1: "Hey, have you seen that incubus around?"
Wench 2: "Which? The dark 'un with the creepy tongue?"
Wench 1: "No...The bunny...Thing."
Wench 2: "Sen? Nah. Not like it matters, 'e never pulls in much coin."
Wench 1: "I haven't seen him all month..."
Wench 2: "I 'ave. 'e was retching something fierce in 'un of tha' caverns."
Wench 1: "Retching? I didn't think incubi ate..."
Wench 2: "Beats me. Couldn't be sure, anyway. 'e ran off as soon as I got close."

Patron 1: "You seen all the commotion earlier?"
Patron 2: "With that Husky fellow and Miss Serene?"
Patron 1: "Aye, apparently Serene's lover had a fling with the Husky's wife and they had a child."
Patron 2: "Wait... isn't the Husky's wife that wolf River?"
Patron 1: "Aye, And Serene's lover is that guard Sono."
Patron 2: "I thought River was his child... That's what he's always sayin'."
Patron 1: "I thought so too."
Patron 2: "..."

Miner: Hey, I heard Xela is leaving Lismore for a while.. wonder why.
Guard: I think she is investing funds somewhere off in the mainland. Saw her boarding a ship with chests full of gold.
Miner: Wow, really? Wonder what she's going to do with it all.
Thief: *picks the Guard's pocket* Must be to build that Tomb she's always been talking about. Lismore health and safety laws would freak with the number of traps she'd have. *runs off*
Guard: Aaaah, maybe be so- HEY! GUARDS!
Miner: ...Bob, get me another drink.
