Back In The Saddle [Fang & Rygdea]

there is a tear in my beer.

Taking in the last of what was in her bottle of beer, Alice watched the entrance to the small bar that was on the shores of New Bodhum. There had been a lot of things going on since the Purge and all, but now it was rather quite, and she really liked it that way. As much of a ruffian she thought she was, it was the smaller things that made it easy on the mind to not think such thoughts. She had seen the crystallization of her home, a lot of people had, that alone was enough to corrupt the mind. But they had started to rebuild things, and all seemed well enough. But Alice knew better than that, she did not know what it was, but she knew that something else behind the curtains was happening, and that she knew she could not stop it. It was just the way that people held themselves, how they talked to one another about anything that might come up, people were not acting as they should have been. Well some of them anyway. But she had seen first hand what it was like to loose your home, and everything else along with it. Alice on the other hand was a prime example of people not acting as they should. Back to the whole ruffian thing again.

She had been one to start anything from a small squabble to an all out bar fight in a matter of seconds, and she could prove that if she wished too. But out here, New Bodhum, a place that was not Academia, it was small and people knew everyone that came into town, everyone that left town and anyone who had been missing for a few moments. It was like they could talk to each other through other means than vocal. Watching as the people came in and out of the bar, to do whatever it was that they were doing, Alice just sat there in total silence, and for once she was not being a nuisance to everyone she met and came across. Now had she thought to open her mouth ro speak about anything she was sure that she would cause a lot of people here not to like her. With a small shake of her head, Alice ordered another drink in the least discrete way known to her. She pushed back the loose strands of her hair, simply enjoying it for what it was.

Alice had at least one thing going for her, and that was that she was clever. She mostly did not need a weapon to fight, nor magic by the way of her AMP Unit, that was really only in case of an emergency that she could not handle. Most of the time, she could get her way out, without using such things that people take for granite. In fact any that knew her would say the same thing, she did not need a weapon. There was that saying, who brought a knife to a gun fight, well she did not like to bring anything but her wits. That was all that she deemed necessary to need in a tight spot. Still watching as people were coming in, she did not know anyone at all in this part of town, and maybe that was the ideal thing for her. That way she was not likely to ruin anything out here on this peaceful shore. At least peaceful for now. The redhead took in a drink from the bottle that was placed before her, giving the waitress a small nod of her head.
