The Puzzled Raven

Introduction No. II

Introduction No. II

Apr 25, 2023

A fair skinned, green eyed bartender had been juggling three different tasks, cleaning the bar itself, tending to people's drinks, and deterring a man from provoking a regular lady into a fight. Of course when he looked away to hand a drink over at the other end of the bar, he came back to the man having a nosebleed from being hit, and tears from both the impact and the lady's harsh words that stripped him of his masculinity. The bartender wanted to laugh, but he didn't let himself do so, instead he called over two guards to drag the man out of the gambling house, before he apologised to the woman and cleaned the man's nosebleed off the bar, and went back to the other two tasks.  

Another woman ordered a Chegreont wiskey, so he retrieved it, along with a man's Alteric gin, preparing the drinks and cutting off an unintelligible elder before serving them. Thank the lords his shift was almost over, his legs were starting to thrime with jolting aches from being up for hours on end.  

He got through five more orders and cleaning someone's vomit before his coworker showed up to relieve him, "Seimast, tap'n," his friend smacked him on the shoulder as she walked past him. He stood up quickly, "Thank the lords!" he quietly cheered, motioning his arms out to girl, "Thanks Lueresta, Thanks," he thanked, saluting the girl and walking away.  

Lueresta shook her head with a smile as she tied her apron around her waist, then looked at the clamoring audience, "IYE, ONE AT A TIME!" she shouted in a thick southern Aleir accent. Everyone at the bar shut their mouth, and looked down as if they'd been scolded by their mother, or more likely a school teacher. She nodded, "Good," she assured, "Now you in the red collar! What's the drink!" she ordered, she nodded as heard the order, and a hand rose from the group, "NO, WE STILL DO NOT SERVE FOOD JES! YOU WANT FOOD GO NEXT DOOR!" she answered as she recognized the hand. The hand slowly lowered, and she smiled, "A'Right! Next!" she pointed to another customer as she prepared the drink for the first.  

The girl grew up with four sisters and six brothers, her being the eldest of the eleven, she learned to be assertive, as well as a good caregiver.

Within a different world, there's a club named The Puzzled Raven, and a gang called The Murder. This story is lead by the two.

Koren Kazimir, the leader of The Murder, a man troubled to the point that no one knows his smile. He won't hesitate to get what he wants. What does he want? To destroy those who look down on him and those who pity him. He doesn't need pity, he loathes it. He is represented as the raven itself.

Daven Corbein, hired thief of The Murder, gambling addict, and often times, idiot. He likes flair, and poking fun. He struggles to sit still, and often can't pay attention. He joined The Murder through The Puzzled Raven after his debt fell through the floor. He is represented as a fox.

And Irisa Physde, Mercenary of The Murder. A kind woman who lost her family and escaped from enslavement only to find herself a contract killer with silent feet. Though her title may be mercenary, she rarely kills and is more so used as a spy. She is represented as a snake.

PS this story is inspired deeply by Six of Crows. So most similarities are purposeful.
