Twilight quickly descended the hidden village within the mountains. The torrential diluge that poured from the heavens made going outside quite undesirable. For the black cat, it meant that business was going to be rare. The geisha and their maiko sat around the tea house sighing and looking longingly outside for customers, their boredom killing them. It was so boring that a kender would have gone mad, but then any guest, be it even a kender was surely welcomed at this point.
"We'd probably should be closing up early girls, there's probably not going to be a customer crazy enough to step outside even if we prayed to the kami for one!" spoke Kuroneko Katsumi, the young and beautiful elven owner of the tea house. With a wishful glance, she looked at the shoji door. Seeing the sihouloutte of possibly one or people on the otherside, she called back to the moping girls, "Hay, it looks like Tachi-chan and the guards are coming! Prepare the baths!"
The geisha and apprentice geisha, having nothing better to do, nodded and walked off to do so.
Katsumi, fussing with every inch of her clothes as made sure that she'd looked her best. Gliding over to the door with her elven grace, she slid it open, "Welcome home, Ta-" Her voice dropped in midsentence, it was not who she had expected.
[glow=green,2,300]DM: [/glow] And here enters the players.

There,at the door, stands a man adorn in red robes,his hood pulled tight over his face to block the windswept rain. Next to him stood a kinder,that was kept somehow still."Evening m'lady.Might we come in and get out of this dreadful cold?"

"Yes, yes... I guess any customer as good as any today. Though I must ask you to keep an eye on your little friend; we sure that if we 'loose' anything, we can find it ourselves." Katsumi said as she showed them to a table. "False alarm girls; it's just a customer."
The geisha and their maiko came out and eyed the mage suspiciously. "He's an outsider isn't he?" One of them whispered. "Indeed! How did he come to find the village?" the other asked, chancing a peek at him.
"It matters not how he did, it's the fact that the guards let him through. Unless they're falling asleep on their duty, they know full well this man's attentions. If you want to know how, then why don't you ask him?" Katsumi said, stepping behind the whispering women without them noticing and causing them to jump when she spoke.

walking in behind the mage,Denten looks around in wonder at the new and exotic scenery.siting down at the table he remarks"Wow Finwe look at all the neat stuff they got here!"(kinder rummage check(slight of hand) [dice=20]+17)[rand=5295484303017767362969566186058950583744512114948952226254274362]

Doing his best to hush the kinder, Finwe pulls back his hood. The face that was now visible was one of definite Elven make. He looked like a normal elf except for the scar, witch was one of 3, that ran across his face and over his right eye and was a direct result of the test of high sorcery.He wasn't sickly looking, as is some of his order, but more healthy and muscular. Trying to overhear what it is these woman were saying Finwe staired off into the distance messing with a ring with 3 crystals in it that was set on his right hand.

It seemed that Finwe tried to do something as difficult as looking left and right at the same time. Not only did a pair of chopsticks that disappeared into one of the kender's pouches, he failed to discern the whispering of the girls, though the later mattered little as it seemed that they spoke in a language that he wasn't familiar with.
Seeing the stars on his face, the geisha and miko stared in awe until Katsumi reminded them how impolite it was to stare with a loving tug on their checks. Rubbing their sore cheeks after they diverted their attention to the floor, showing that their employer that they've learned lesson thus causing her to let go, they slowly made their way to the table. Bowing they said in broken elven, "Good evening. We are your servers. What do you order?" If Finwe found it odd that two girls, to whom were both elves themselves, were unable to speak their native tongue with difficulty was unknown, but surely he could feel the curious glances probing him, asking unspoken questions.
Katsumi, who watched with the intensity of a cat keeping vigil over a mouse's hole, had to suppress her laughter. Surely it was rather redicolous for pure blood elves to be so poor at speaking their native tongue, but she was defianately no better. In fact very few of the villagers could speak anything except for the secret language of the village, thus interacting with outsiders would be rather difficult. She could think of one person who bothered to learn a langauge of the outside world, though was a rather odd choice of langauge. "Now what was it? Duwaruven? Eruven? Goburin? Ogure? Gunome? Oh, it's just on the tip of my tongue!" she muttered under her breath as she stared up at the ceiling.

Finwe looks up at the waitress and catches his breath. When was the last time he has seen an Elven maiden as beautiful as what these girls are,1 no more like 2 years.Anyway Finwe speaks but making sure that his Elvish is clear and shows little emotion."I'll have some wine tea and for my friend here." he motions to the kinder across the table from him."He'll have some..some..ale" he said in a sheepish tone, he wasn't fond of the fact that he was traveling with a drunk kinder.As the waitress walks away Finwe looks down to his right hand where a ring is on his pinkie fingerer."Is she here or not? If not He might know! Finwe thought to himself.

The geisha as descretely as they could pass an exchange of confused looks. "We back soon," the geisha said in broken common. Standing up, they bowed and shuffled away.
"What is 'ale'," the maiko asked her oneesan once they were out of hearing.
The geisha shrugged. "It must be some tea in the outside world. If only Oniichan was here, he'd know."
"What will we do?" the maiko asked, looking worried.
"We just simply tell them we're out and offer them some of our tea," the geisha replied.
"But what if they get angry?"
"We'll just cry for the guards and they'll be thrown out!"
"But in that downpour-"
"If they want to make trouble, they'll have to face the price!"
"I guess you're right, but his face-"
"I know, it's wierd with those stars. I wander where he got them."
"That's not what I meant! Doesn't he remind you of her?"
The women fell silent as though remembering a fallen comrade as they went into the back to fetch some tea.
Katsumi, over hearing the conversation and bored out of her mind decided to take a seat with the wizard and the kender. "Forgive, but it seems you have my girls in stir. It's not common for foriegners to come especially one's with your face. Do they have a story or did you have them tattooed to your face for heck of it?" She said gesturing towards the wizard's face.

Finwe runs his hand over the scar,shuddering at the remembrance of that dreadful day. When he spoke it was a voice from a person who knew what it meant to be scared."This, I got this from the test. Its the reminder that i still need to get stronger. That is why i travel, among other things." Finwe looks at his hand to check again if anyone near him had the slightest magical talant.

Before Katsumi could reply, the geisha and her maiko returned, a tea pot and two cups in hand. Katsumi got up and motioned for the girls to sit, but not before whispering to them, "Remember your manners."
The geisha and maiko nodded, signifying their acknowledgement before sitting down at the table. "Forgive us, but we seem to not have any ale. Will you like any tea instead, honored one?" the geisha said to the kender in a polite tone.

" tea would be great! I have never had tea before! Uncle Tas used to say that tea smelled alful and could kill you. But when people drink that stuff they don't fall over dead. why do you think that is so? It smells nice too, so does ale.... but there is none." Denten looks downcast and says " Why don't you drink tea all the time exept for wine Finwe?"

Finwe looks at the geisha and says "Yeah tea would be nice." Then turning to the kinder he sais"I don't think even Uncle Tas was ever here. Also it was Raistlen's Tea that smelled horid, if I remember Tainis's Tale correctly."

Suddenly to the tea house's slid open as a group of young women walked in. By their dress and the weapons they carried it was clear that they were warriors, no doubt the village's guards. All were dripping wet and some were even shivering from coldness. At the front of them was distinctive elven warrior that wore a warrior's head band around her head, her bangs covering part of it, and a wakizashi worn on each hip. "Katsumi-sama, are you in?" she called out.
"TACHICHAN!" Katsumi cried, running over to the drenched warrior and tackling her. "You're soaked wet! You to get out of thoe clothes at once!" She said, undressing the warrior in the middle of the room.
"Katsumisama! Please not infront of the others!" Tachi cried, her face turning bright red.
The other warriors stood dumbfounded, watching the two women with eyes large as shields. "It's true, they're-" One of them whispered to the other. "Pay up!" Another said holding her hand out to the warrior standng behind who grudgingly dropped some steel coins into the outstretched hand.
"Oops, sorry," Katsumi, regaining her wits and laughing mischieviously. "Let's take this to the back." Getting up, she lead Tachi to the back.
"You better change too unless you want to catch a cold gossiping!" Tachi said.
"Yes, ma'am!" The warriors said, entering one of the private booths and waiting for dry clothes to be delivered to them via the other working geisha.
As the newcomers disappeared out of the room, it seemed that no one had closed the door, causing a gust of wind to send a spray of rain to fall onto the already wet entrance.

"Wah!" Cried the geisha and her maiko as they rushed over to them hybred creature. "Don't bleed on the floor, Ushi-kun!" They said in scolding tone, referring to him by a nickname on account of his bovine features. They made no attempt to move the minotaur since they knew it was futile due to his immense weight. Instead, the maiko did her best to stop the bleeding wile oneesan donned a cloak and hat, stepping into the pouring rain to retrieve the village's healer.

Finwe jumps out of his seat and whisks over to the fallen man. Bending over him Finwe checks to see where the bloods origin is.Finding it he applies presser to the vain that leads to the cut to stop the bleeding. once that is done he steps back to allow the healer though.

Denten jumps up and runs over to the body. As he sees it he jumps up and down and says "ooooo a body, can I see!" looks over at the body and says in disgust " Ugh! what an ugly fellow! I take it back! He is the Ugliest person I have seen in my entire life!" Then denten looks around ([dice=20]+10 search check)[rand=808607795351420230776900848143414072234019265072415539056823018665]

The giesha returned with a miko who looked as though she had just been awakened (judging by the state her hair was and her bloodshot eyes). Walking over to the hybrid, she looked at him and made a knowledgable "hm..."
"Will he be ok?" the geisha asked.
"No, he's not dead enough," she said stomping on the hybrid's groin repeatedly. "You woke me up just as I was having a good dream because you hurt yourself training?! For this I'm going to double, no triple the normal fee, you good for nothing half-wit!" She hissed in a low, angered tone, emphasizing full well her anger. "That's 3000 gold pieces you baka! Either payup now or I'll just extract from your corpse!"
"Kamikosama, you're going to seriously injure him if you keep on doing that!" the geisha said, a worried look on her face.
"That's the whole point! That way he'll have no choice, but pay ten times the normal fee!" The miko said with a wicked look in her face, a shadow cast over her eyes causing them to almost glow like twin red dots. "No! Twenty times the normal fee! Thirty!"
"Kamikosama is frightening when you anger her!" the maiko whispered. She shook with fear as she hid behind her oneesan, clutching her skirt with white knuckles.
Out of the corner of his eye, Finwe noticed that his ring began to glow, the largest moon glowing bright red, the second largest glowing black and the least largest glowing faintly white.

"Wow, all she did to him and he's not showing any signs of pain!" the geisha said. "He's either really tough or numb below the belt."
"Good morning... That's all you can say?" Kamiko hissed, drawing a tanto from her robes. "I'll show you good mourning!"
"Kamikosama stop! You're supposing to be saving his life; not taking it!" the geisha and maiko cried, grabbing the miko by the arms and holding her back.

Bah! You're hopeless!" Kamiko said with a disgusted sigh. "You train yourself to the point of nearly dying!" Kneeling beside the hybred, she began to mend his body. "Now what be this technique you bicker about and where's that lewd cat Katsumi anyways? Shouldn't be paying attention to her own business? You all are incompetant! The only one I can even think of whom can take care of himself left this kami forsaken village long ago and probably got the wits to never return!"
"Here she goes again..." the geisha moaned to her maiko.
"Does she like just to hear her voice?" the maiko whsipered to her oneesan.
"What are you talking about?" Kamiko hissed, glaring at them.
"Um, er, nothing..." the maiko and geisha said in unison.

"Li-ly... such a foriegn name," the miko said, her body loosing its tension and murderous content. "It's rare for gajin like you to come here, surely I'd remembered a person by that name..."
The colors on Finwe's ring changed, the middlemost moon turning white while the smallest moon turned black.
"Doesn't he remind you of her," the geisha sugested.
"Indeed, you're almost the spitting image of her, provided that you're a man. She was a gajin too, wasn't she? Now why she came here again, I remember not...." Kamiko said, sighing. Her eyes looked over Finwe with great interest probing every area of him. Once her eyes saw the ring they lit with a childlike wander. "Oh my! What an amazing ring! Where did you ever get it?" She asked, walking straight up to him and staring at it with great interest.

Flinching almost refletivly Finwe draws his hand up to his chest and croaks"You musn't touch that!" in a more softer tone he adds"it is a gift from the master of the conlcave, and it has powerful magic stored inside.If you are to touch it... it would burn you"

"The conclave?" Kamiko said in wonder, "Now where did I heard that again?" Rubbing her chin she stared off into the ceiling.
Meanwhile...
Kamiko ignored the kender along with the geisha and her maiko, leaving Denten to his devices. The tea house itself was built an exotic style, a number of room like booths enclosed to the rest of the building save for a sliding door. The booth down the hall from where Finwe and he had been was occupied by the female warriors who were changing their clothes as the time. Further down into the shadowy bowls of the tea house was where Katsumi and Tachi were, what they were doing was anybody's guess. There were so many doors, so many booths, what lay inside waiting to be found?
From the booth far down from them the voices of the women could be heard. Though they spoke in a foreign tongue, there voices was cheerful and loud, such an inviting sound especially to the cold and drumming sound of the pouring rain outside.
