After much searching, some cursing and a bit of running into things, Anna comes out of the kitchens with a plate of chicken and a key with the number '4' written on it.

"Here you are," she says, putting the plate down in front of Irale. "And here's the key to your room. Yours is number four; just go up those stairs-" Anna points toward the back of the pub, where a narrow staircase is just visible, "-and down the hall on the right."

The person called Arma turns to Irale. "Looks, like this place's gotten a lil' more lively, wouldn't you say miss?"

"It's a bit too lively, if you ask me." she responded. She then starts munching on her plate of chicken as Anna sets it down. Shortly after she finishes, she gets up and starts walking away.

"If you need me, I'll be in my room." She calls out.

Dirk and Jake followed the boy. Dirk started talking. 'Sup. I'm Dirk. Dirk Strider. This here is my bro, Jake.' said the boy with the katana. 'Yeah, i'm Jake English. I live on a island far, far away, you know. Adventure can always be found there.' said the other boy. Instead of using his real pistols, he held his hands like them. He made a shooting gesture, and winked. 'Jake....' said Dirk. 'I won't stop doing it. I mean, two pistols and a wink... That's my motto.' said Jake, quickly sticking out his tongue.

"Cool! Nice to meet you. Like we probably met before, but like, for real. So what do you do? Are you guys freedom fighters or something?" Suddenly, the boy's phone rang.
"Excuse me a second." He picked up his phone and started talking.

"Hey, Brad. How goes it?" said the boy.
"Where the heck are you, Jude?! Some girls keep calling me. Like, ALOT."
"Ok. Meet me on the corner of Roll-Play Lane at some place called the Beaten Drum."
"Whatever. We will discuss later." Then the call dropped.

"Sorry guys. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Jude Hunteer. Live somewhat far from here, in Off-topic discussions. Summer DCC Road to be exact."

"Ah, ginger ale? Coming right up." Anna quickly fills a glass with the requested beverage and places it near the boy- Jude, as he said his name was. "There you go; enjoy," she flashes him a smile and goes back to trying to put things in their proper places.

'It might surprise you, but we're only fifteen years old, you know. I like rapping with my robots, Squarewave and Sawtooth. Though i beat 'em always.' said Dirk. 'I live on a island, as i said before. Adventure can always be found there. I'm an adventurer. Sort of.' said Jake, grinning at Dirk. 'I lived there with my grandmother, but she died when i stll was pretty young. I still stayed on Hellmurder Island, as i call it. By the way, Dirk built his own robots. He's good at that.' continued Jake. 'More of our friends might be coming.' said Dirk, looking at the door though seeing nothing. 'And?' asked Jake. 'Nope. No sign of them.' said Dirk, walking to Anna. 'Hey! What can i and my bro get here?' asked Dirk, Jake staying with Jude.

"Ah, most anything you'd like. Just order something, we'll probably have it. Unless it's like, babies or something weird," Anna says to Dirk.

'Okay then. I'll be back in a second.' said Dirk, and he walked back to Jake. 'Anything.' was the only thing Dirk said. 'Well, i'm pretty thirsty, so anything will do.' said Jake. Dirk walked back to Anna. 'Well, then. A coke for me, and...well, anything will do for my bro. He's really thirsty, so just get him something good, okay?' said Dirk, winking at Jake under his shades.

"Be seein' you" Arma said as the girl passed him, apparently on her way the her room. He stretched, finishing the little bit of his drink he had left.

Deciding against talking with the rather busy boys,he sat and relaxed for a short while, before waving at the barmaid again.

"Hm, alright then." Anna pulls out two glasses and fills them. "One Coke and one cranberry lemonade. I hope your friend likes it; I find it to be the most refreshing drink in the world."

She turns back to take Arma's glass from him. "Iced tea, yeah?" she asks, though knowing perfectly well that was indeed what the man had been drinking. She fills it and hands it back.

A man, around the age of 25, walks through the door. He goes over to one of the open seats and sits down. He looks around to see a guy drinking what looks like Ice Tea, another drinking Ginger Ale, and some guys who look like their up to something. Although he wants to know whats going to happen, he desides if it doesn't involve him, its doesn't matter.

He waves over to the bartender and says, "I'd like to order some Dr. Pepper."

'Thanks. I know Jake pretty good, and he'll love this.' said Dirk, before walking off with the two glasses. 'Jake!' 'Yeah?' 'I got you some cranberry lemonade.' said Dirk, and he put the glasses down. 'Oh. My. God. This stuff is amazing!' said Jake, quite happy with the drink Dirk gave him. 'Good to hear that. Hey Jake, when do you think our friends will arrive?' 'I dunno, they're always late.' said Jake, again looking at the door but still, not seeing cyan or pink.

(Can i roleplay as a troll? Those guys in my signature? Please? :33)

Anna passes a glass of Dr Pepper over to the newcomer. "Here you are, sir. And welcome," she smiles.

[Limanya, I don't mind if you RP as a troll. However... I've been exposed to second- and third-hand Homestuck a fair bit. And if you are to RP as a troll or two, I'd advise you to keep their personalities but ditch the unreadable mangled text-speak crap. If I remember correctly, even Hussie says it isn't cute and shouldn't be used for actual communication. And an RP-ish thing like this kind of relies on being able to understand one another.]

"Thanks love." Arma said as Anna filled up his glass. He drank all of it in one big gulp, being unable to greet the man who just walked in.

"Aaah, nothing better to quench some serious thirst, wouldn't you say sir?" He said to the new guest, with a content smile on his face.

As soon as Dirk and Jake finished their drinks, two others came walking in. 'Ac comes and says hello!' said the smaller one. Both of them looked really weird, and Jake and Dirk didn't know if they looked like that. 'Nepeta, i must ask you to stop. I already have forbidden you from roleplaying on Trollian.' said the larger one. He had a grey skin, orange horns of which one was broken and broken sunglasses. 'Aww, come on! You can't pawssibly say that, Equius!' said the smaller one. This one wore a long green coat, with a blue tail coming out of it. Her horns, unlike the arrow-shaped horns of the other, were shaped like cat ears. She had messy black hair, though most of it was under her cat-shaped hat. 'Who are those guys?' asked Jake. 'I don't know, they look familliar but i don't really know.' answered Dirk. The large troll, whose name appeared to be Equius, walked to Anna. 'Lowblood. Two glasses of milk please. A STRONG glass for me, i break them easily.' he said. 'My meowrail is really strong!' said Nepeta. 'What's a meowrail?' asked Jake. 'I dunno. Might ask them later.' said Dirk.

He took a sip of his Dr. Pepper. "Ahhhh, nothing better then to quench some serious thrist, wouldn't you say sir?" said one of the people here. It was the boy drinking Ice Tea. "Indeed." He replied. After a minute or so, more people came in...loudly. "This place just got livelier, wouldn't you say?" He said to the boy next to him, "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Louis. Louis Cypher. Nice to meet you." He offered a hand-shake to the boy. (If you get the reference in the name, you get 50 awsome points)

Jude noticed he zoned out, then ran to Jake and Dirk to meet their friends.
"Hey! I am Jude, Jake and Dirk's friend." He reached out his hand.
Before they could shake, a young boy ran in though the door. "JUUUUUUUDE!"
"Brad. Shut up." Jude said.
"So, whats up?", he looked to his right and noticed Jake, Dirk and they two others, "Jude? Who are these people?"
"Brad! Don't be rude. These are Jake, Dirk, and two others I was about to meet."
"Oh, sorry, guys. I am Brad. Nice to meet you."
"So, who are your friends, Jake and Dirk?" asked Jude.

"It sure has! I hope they won't be turnin' into the bunch of troublemakers I expected them to be."
Arma Reached out and gave the man a firm handshake. "Ah, I'm Arma Smith, pleased to meet'cha Louis!"

Anna was slightly taken aback by the newcomers. Also, she was not entirely sure why she was being called a lowblood- whatever that was. It seemed a bit derogatory. But... her job was to keep things running smoothly, not judge nor take offence. "We really only have one type of glass for regular drinks and it's... normal. Er, do try not to break them, we only have so many..."

In spite of her misgivings, she filled two glasses with milk and handed them over.

'Thank you, lowblood.' said Equius as he walked to the table. 'Let me carry that, you'll break it!' said Nepeta. 'They? We don't really know them...' said Jake, still wondering who they were. 'Equius, i'll hold the glass. You can't break another one!' said Nepeta, who appeared to be good friends with Equius. 'Hey! You there!' said Dirk. 'What are you doing?' said Jake, a bit angry at Dirk. 'Hm?' asked Nepeta, who just sat there. 'Who are you, and what are you?' asked Dirk. 'Dirk!' said Jake, and he kicked Dirk under the table. 'I'm a troll!' said the girl. 'I thought trolls looked different.' said Jake. 'But wait..I guess i've once seen one of you.' said Jake. 'You don't know her. Go on.' said he quickly. 'As i said before, i'm a troll. We live on Alternia, though i have no idea why i'm here. You can recognize a troll quite easily, you know. Grey skin, orange horns and yellow eyes. Well, except for one of us. But i don't think he'll come soon.' said the girl. 'Oh! My name is Nepeta, by the way. That's my meowrail, Equius.' said Nepeta. 'What's a meowrail?' asked Jake. 'Troll romance. We're in the pale quadrant, moirallegance. We're moirails. It's pretty difficult to understand, even though i'm the one who knows the most about it!' said Nepeta. 'Oh. Okay, then.' said Jake, a little dissapointed. 'Excuse me, i need to get back to Equius.' said Nepeta. 'Wait! Your moirail said something about lowbloods! What does that mean?' asked Jake quickly. 'Caste system!' said Nepeta, before helping Equius again. 'I guess they have different blood colours or something. I don't know.' said Dirk. 'Though that is pretty weird.' said he quickly.

(@elamasecreta Although you got the wrong reference, you still get 50 awsome plus 25 more for getting another reference I know.)

"It sure has! I hope they won't be turnin' into the bunch of troblemakers I expected them to be." The boy said. 'Hate to break it to ya kid, but I can tell they will.' I thought to myself. The boy shook my hand firmly and introduced himself as Arma Smith. And under closer inspection he wasn't a boy, but a man slightly younger then me. Musta been something in my eyes if I made that mastake.

My stomach started to growl, and the only thing on my mind was steak. I looked over and saw the bartender filling some glasses with milk. She had a worried look on her face, which tells me something might've happened while I was talking to Arma. "'Cuse me miss, but would you happen to have some steak? If you do, I'd like to place an order for a medium-rare steak." I turned to Arma and said, "Would you like some? My treat."

'Equius, where's my husktop?' asked Nepeta as soon as they finished their milk. 'In your bag.' 'Okay then.' said Nepeta, and she took a laptop-like thing out of her bag. She opened it, and opened Trollian. 'I guess everyone is here somewhere.' said Equius, who was looking. 'Yes, and i think i'd best try and contact someone.' Nepeta clicked on button, and a list appeared with names. She clicked on 'grimAuxiliatrix', and started talking.
'Catnaya? Are you there?'
'Yes, why?'
'I'm in a pub, and Equius is with me. Could you come?'
'If i could open the viewport, yes. But Sollux is nowhere to be seen. Try asking him.'
'Okay, thanks! Bye Kanaya!'
Nepeta closed the window, and clicked on 'twinArmageddons'.
'Sollux?'
'Yes?'
'Where are you?'
'I have no idea. Where are you?'
'In a pub somewhere. Try opening the viewport.'
'Okay, done. I can see you, should i come there?'
'Yes, please! I'll wait for you! Equius is with me!'
'Oh cod no. Not that snob.'
'Don't worry! I'll make sure everything will end well.'
'Alright. I'll be right there.'
Nepeta closed her husktop, and watched the door.
And watched.
And watched.
But didn't see anything red or blue.
