"Coming up Karrin!"
Sharinda waltzes off and returns with a platter of roast pork, mashed potatoes pickles and a crock of mustard beans. Her other hand holds a lemon pie.
"Eat up ducks!"
"Nom nom nom nom"
Smurfalicious!
"By the appetites of Frun, it worked!" exclaims a voice from the doorway.
A human figure dressed in nondescript brown clothing stands just inside the doorway, eyes wide, taking in the main room of the bar. At his hip is a rapier and a pistol. His long red hair falls to just below his shoulders.
He heads over towards the bar.
"Barkeep! A Spiral Dew Wine and a shot of something with nerve!" he shouts. As he waits for the staff he looks around once more.
"Either I've got a bad case of spelljammer shock or strange things are afoot here at the docks." he mutters.
Jedrick can see a crowd that would do any trading post cantina in Torilspace proud. A gaggle of neogi atop their umber hulk vehicle/bodyguards are in a hushed conversation with several tall blue Mercane. An insectile ice devil slurps a large steaming drink in the corner. A tiefling female with a large blue crystal axe sits with a kobold, a dark haired man and a tiny blue creature. Two bariaur arm wrestle at a back table, and a dwarf, elf anf ogre play darts at a series of boards near a small sand-covered pit.
A small gnomish-looking woman waltzes up to him
"Did'ja say Spiral Dew wine? And a shot? We just got some Arcadian fire liquor in, kicks like a bariaur after three cups of coffee."
Karrin pushes away the empty plate.
"Man that was good," Karrin says patting her belly, "I love the food here. Only place I know where you can eat all you want."
Sharinda bustles by, dropping more plates of turkey and another mug of grog over to Karrin
"Ach! I never did see such lousy tippers as Psurlons. And they try that creepy mind junk too! Anything else yeh need ducks?"
Karrin pushes away the empty plate.
"Man that was good," Karrin says patting her belly, "I love the food here. Only place I know where you can eat all you want."
"Yes yes, food is good. Very nice."
Sharinda waltzes by the table.
"Ach! Yeh've all been sitting here for ages just staring at each other! Karrin, ducks, aren't yeh hungry?
Looks at Trapper
"Yeh want some food there? Summat teh drink mayhap?"
"Well I haven't eaten in ages!" Karrin says, "and I'm getting hungry . . ."
Karrin is of course almost always hungry so she'll take any excuse to eat.
"Say Sharinda," Karrin says when the gnome returns with some eats, "do you know anything about men? See there's this guy I like but I'm not sure if he notices me yet or anything, and I think I like him, you know, maybe not like like, but you know enough to start . . . you know, talk too. Like maybe think about being boyfriend / girlfriend. It's been like over two years since Torreen died and I'm not sure if it's too soon or not, but I'd like to, you know, talk with him to see if I'm ready to start . . . I don't know, dating again? Anyways do you know how I could attract him? But not in a bad way? So we can start talking and stuff."
Karrin then dives into the mound of food, eyes on Sharinda, waiting to see if the gnome has any sage advice for her.

Sharinda laughs
"Ach! Pet, the best way to catch a man is to make him think he's trying to catch yeh! Ignore him, but mayhap pay attention to another man he's chums with. Men are easy to confuse, send him a positive signal then walk away. Keep him guessing. Men like the chase."
Sharinda dishes out a large spread of grilled meat patties, bread, sausages and potato salad.
"Eat hearty! Today we remember the fallen heroes of yore!"
Karrin tents her fingers.
"Interesting," she says with a smile, "make them think you're not interested. I think I can do that . . ."
. Sharinda starts
That was a Bally long nap! Look at the dust what's kicking up!
She begins to swab furiously at the tables
"Feels like almost a year or something," Karrin says.
Nostalgia bump

More posts? I can do that, in fact I am Bjorn Ready
Derpa dee!
"Hey Olli," Karrin says, "We're looking for you over at the library but do to time space instability, which I've been told is a real thing, we're both here either before or sometime after said meeting. The planes are weird."
O.L.L.I bleeps
"Space and time can often entangle in a most chaotic fashion. Is this iteration of you the ruler of ..."
O.L.L.I stops speaking
"This unit will not discuss future quantum decision trees. It is un-Lawful"
"Ah, got ya, I never much worried about time space instability. Course I never much thought about it before. I mean technically we're not currently in two places at the same time, even though I'm at the library and in here at the World Serpent Inn™, the Inn is in a different dimension, with it's own time line and everything. Although if I were to leave the library early and pop in here for a quick mug of grog things could get awkward when I find out I'm already here."
