[ Viewers are treated to the sight of Eleanor Guthrie looking very frazzled, her dress and hair a mess from her own run-in with Fayren's wildlife, her facial expression just short of thunderous. She's furious, utterly furious, but being angry doesn't bring you more patrons.

So what people get to see is a very sharp smile. ] People of Fayren, I'm sure you've all had your own encounters with our wildlife already. Now you could do as our valiant Guardian has said and stay at home, alone and miserable waiting for the danger to pass.

Or you could come the Dead Men's Port right there in the harbor and wait it out with the best rum in town and meat fresh from the hunt. Until danger has passed, drinks and food are both half price. If you play music or tell stories to amuse our guests, drinks will be free.

Let's all make the best of our circumstances!

Does that mean you'll be staying safe?

[Enis doesn't look all that concerned about the trouble in Fayren but then that's how she is.]

[the_queen_of_thieves]

The ship should be safe enough. One of my bouncers has taken the day off to help out with the animals, but I doubt they'll make it all the way to the harbor.

[blindpuppet]

Good. If you need rescuing call me.

[Spoken with a completely straight face.]

Oho! Does that mean you got yourself a nice new bar?

[honestly, stampeding wildlife means nothing to him. Rum, on the other hand...]

Re: [video]

[the_queen_of_thieves]

Yes, I have. I've been working on getting that old ship rotting at the harbor, the Merry Mermaid, back into shape. It's not much yet, but this place is my own. The rum is still the best in town, of course.

[chicken_kun]

Heh! Can't go wrong with that. Good, I'll have to check it out. Closest thing to actually being on a ship, right?

[Kazuya can't help but be a little amused by this.]

That's certainly one way to make the best out of this situation.

[He'd be at the bar by now, but he got curbed by helping herd those things back to the forest before he was even able to drop books off at his other job. Stupid animals.]

[the_queen_of_thieves]

[ She gives a little shrug. ]

Of course. Somebody's got to take advantage of it in a sensible manner, and I don't see why I should be missing out on profit just because of some wildlife gone rabid.

[lullabyatsea]

Then I'll see if I can't direct a few others your way. The harbor is likely among the safest places at the moment anyway.

[He's got this particular part of the city pretty much on lockdown with his abilities. Of course, he wants to make absolute certain it's safe. This ordeal is giving him some nasty flashbacks.]

I'll of course be in once this settles down. Shall I fetch anything before I get there?

[mother_of_monsters]

[Someone looks in the same pissy mood as Eleanor.]

You know what, I never drank but I think I'll take you on that offer.

What is rum?

[the_queen_of_thieves]

You look like someone in need of a drink. Come to the harbor, you can't miss it, it's the only bar ship around here. Then I'll even give you a glass of rum for free. It's a sweet and hearty drink, rather strong. Exactly what you need on a day like this.

I live in the Fayren forest and I was there when part of it exploded.

[He huffs and then smiles at the offer.]

I'll be there in no time, thank you. I'm Dray, nice to meet you.

[And he's on his way to the harbor.]

Miss Guthrie, are you alright?

[Since she looks like someone ran her over. Scott worries.]

Re: video;

[the_queen_of_thieves]

[ Eleanor shrugs slightly. ]

Alright? Yes. Annoyed? Also, yes. I'm making the best of the situation. I had a run-in with some rabid deer, but I'm fine now.

[initia_nova]

A deer? I found the dogs that are running free but not the forest animals. The explosion in the forest scared them, it seems.

Are you sure you don't need to have any bruise checked?

[truesmiles]

Even if that wasn't going on, I would probably come over anyway.

[Because alcohol is nice every now and again.]
