In the Taco, there's a cantina that serves as a meeting place for those from different parts of the multiverse. On any given day, you might see Neopians, robots, and even the occasional human or alien. In the corner, a band of various species from the multiverse play a catchy tune, as a human bartender serves patrons. There's the occasional brawl, but the bouncers of the cantina usually keep any violence in check.
At the bar, you see a tough-looking old Pirate Krawk with a pitcher of grog in his hand and a large hammer made of a sea monster's leg bone strapped to his back. He's about to fall asleep. You also see a Striped Xweetok arm-wrestling a large Goron - and winning. A crowd is cheering her on, including a rather manic-looking Blue Techo. A White Lupe is sitting next to her with a cautious look on his face, as if he's expecting something bad to happen. A Darigan Aisha is at another table reading a book, her pet Darigan Quetzal draped around her shoulders - he hisses loudly at anyone that walks too close to his owner. A Skunk Zafara is playing a game of Cheat! with a Brown Skeith, an irate Orange Yurble, and a Red Kyrii - he seems to be winning, judging by the reactions of his opponents. The Yurble is shouting and ranting, the Kyrii is sulking, and the Skeith is scowling at the Zafara. All in all, the cantina seems to be filled with activity.

After winning his game - much to the fury of the Yurble, who storms out shouting every curse he knows - Sirocco turns towards the newcomers. "You up for a game of Cheat!?"
Hunter looked around and saw the Kyrii. "Wait, I remember you. Jor, right?"

Hunter looked around and saw the Kyrii. "Wait, I remember you. Jor, right?" "I'm Jor, but I don't remember you." She followed the other two, sitting at their chosen table with them. She leaned in to whisper to them." Great, the lovesick hero-complex dreck from the arena is here." The Bori gestured at the Krawk at the bar."Look at that hammer!"She twirled her reddish hair around a finger. The water Xweetok shrugged his shoulders."Formidable appearance." |

The Bori gestured at the Krawk at the bar."Look at that hammer!"She twirled her reddish hair around a finger. The water Xweetok shrugged his shoulders."Formidable appearance." "Hi. The name's Sirocco. How ya doin'?" Bones looked back at the young thief and rolled his eyes. "Oi, he's gettin' himself in trouble again... Sirocco! Git back here!" Sirocco sulked. "Okay, sure. Fine." Sirocco turned back to the Bori. "See you later, I guess." He then sat down at another table and started a game of Cheat! with a human, a Moogle and a Zora.Miraja's ears pricked up - she managed to hear Jor insult Hunter. She swiftly slammed the Goron's arm to the table. Then she got up and walked behind Jor and tapped her on the shoulder, a stern expression on her face. "Which 'lovesick hero-complex dreck' are you talking about, hm?" Ashlynne looked up from her book and gasped. She could sense a fight was about to start, and she ran up to the Kyrii and the Xweetok. "Miraja, calm down!" She pulled Miraja back. "Please excuse my friend, she has a temper problem." She then got in between the two. "We're trying to work on it - I've been reading psychology books, my friends and I are riddled with neuroses." Hunter heard Jor - being a Lupe, he had good hearing - but he just shrugged and continued scanning the cantina, as if he was expecting someone to show up.
(Basically this cantina's gonna be my excuse for bringing in all sorts of video game cameos.) |

The Bori's ears perked up at the offer a game of Cheat!, but she shook her head no and scouted for a table away from other patrons with the water Xweetok. Jor looked disdainfully at Hunter."I'm Jor, but I don't remember you." She followed the other two, sitting at their chosen table with them. She leaned in to whisper to them."

The Bori grinned at Sirocco, but her attention was quickly caught by the angry Xweetok that approached them. Jor barely acknowledged Miraja, glancing at her briefly before signaling a server to the table."Pauda, Jakqas, either of you want something?" |

Jor barely acknowledged Miraja, glancing at her briefly before signaling a server to the table."Pauda, Jakqas, either of you want something?" "Are you ordering a knuckle sandwich, Pauda?" Pauda sighed and ordered grog, as did Jor. Jakqas ordered a water, and Pauda grinned at him."Cannibal." He shrugged. Another Kyrii entered the establishment, and the three of them looked to him. Jakqas stood up."Jacob Bones. Good to see you again." The Kyrii was of darker brown camo coloration, as if he'd rolled around in a muddy field. From the smell he might have. He swaggered over to the table, grinning. One of the Cheat! players spoke softly to the other players."Watch your wallets, I know that one." |

The Scrac that Smiles BackSirocco smirked. "So, another Cheat! player, eh?" He had just won his second game in a row, so he walked up to Jacob. "Hey, you're a Cheat! player, right?"

No, but I wouldn't mind if a fine form such as yourself taught me~" He winked. Jor frowned and spoke up."Jacob, sit down." "But he's a real cutie!" Jacob protested while looking Sirocco over for valuables, though he seemed to be checking the kyrii out. The Bori seemed uncomfortable."Jacob, please." |

Jacob protested while looking Sirocco over for valuables, though he seemed to be checking the kyrii out. The Bori seemed uncomfortable."Jacob, please." (Sirocco's a Zafara =P) "Um... I... Uh... Sorry, I'm not... Well... Uh..." Sirocco scratched the back of his head - he didn't know what to say. He didn't want to offend Jacob, but he had to get the point across somehow.
Ashlynne walked up to the crowd and nodded. "I'm afraid that my friend is not interested in men. Neither am I, for that matter." Ashlynne smiled. Salazar, being Salazar, glared at the strangers - he had issues trusting anyone who wasn't his owner. "Salazar, hush." Hunter walked up. "What's all this about?" He then turned to the strangers - and Jor, who he met before. The two didn't exactly hit it off, so he had a nervous look on his face. "Um, I'm Sir Hunter Penn, knight of Meridell." Ashlynne smiled. "My name is Ashlynne, and I was the Court Mage of the Citadel... At least, until recently." Her smile faded into a frown. "I really don't want to talk about it." "Name's Sirocco, but you probably heard of my exploits as the legendary Thief of Time." He smirked and drew his dagger - the glass in the core of his blade shined, and the sand within it sifted around. "I'm kind of a big de-ow!" Hunter elbowed Sirocco. "This is about introducing ourselves, not boasting."
Miraja strode up to stand with the rest of her friends and gestured towards Bones. "I guess I better introduce myself. I'm Tien Miraja." She bowed. "Bones, get over here already!" The Krawk was fast asleep at the bar.
Miraja sighed and walked to the bar. "Wake up, you old salt!" "Meepit overlords... Making me dance the hula... Huh?!" Bones jolted up - apparently, Miraja had interrupted a nightmare. "Agh, what is it, lass?" "Well, we're introducing ourselves to some people." Bones shook his head. "Arr, just let me drink a bi-hey!" The Krawk was dragged towards the others. "Fine, fine... I'm Davey Raleigh, but I prefer bein' called 'Bones.'" He hefted his bone hammer over his shoulders. "Guess where I got th' nickname an' I'll buy yer next meal." |

Jacob turned to Sirocco, curious. "Eh? No, but I wouldn't mind if a fine form such as yourself taught me~" He winked. Jor frowned and spoke up."Jacob, sit down." "But he's a real cutie!"

"Why are you bothering us." Jor groaned. The Bori was already up, looking at the dagger."It's pretty! What does it do? I've never heard of a thief of time before. I'm Pauda." Jacob laughed. "Eh, it's alright. I'm Jacob Bones, a man of mysterious mystery." He looked to Bones. "Hazarding a guess, but it has to do with your hammer." Jakqas watched the group quietly with a raised eyebrow. "Been awhile since we kept the company of Citadel mages and Meridell knights." "The last time I had anything to do with a knight they locked me away when they were done using me, and Silver ran away with that Citadel mage only to be led on for years until he vanished without a trace." muttered Jor. |

"I guess a demonstration's in order." Sirocco spun his dagger around in his hand, and he suddenly became a blur that zoomed around the table in the blink of an eye. "Time's Edge gives me, well, time powers."
Hunter nodded at Jor. "There's still some bad seeds among the Meridell knights - Skarl's a pretty poor judge of character, to be honest. I mean, his treasurer is constantly gambling with the royal money... Anyway, the bad knights are the ones in control now, ever since Claudus escaped."
Ashlynne scowled at the mention of Claudus's name, and Salazar hissed very angrily - this time, he unfolded his fangs and spread out his feathers.
Bones clapped and grinned. "Oi, get this crew some food! It's on me!" He hollered to the server.

Jor rolled her eyes when Hunter started talking about Claudus again, but stopped when food was mentioned, raising her eyebrows instead."Eh? All of us?" Jakaqas nodded to Bones. "That is very generous of you." |

The Scrac that Smiles Back "Aye, ye all get food." Bones grinned. "O' course, I got some drinks fer myself." "Yeah. Check this out!" Sirocco spun his dagger around and threw it into the air. The sand glowed, and the dagger stopped in mid-air, frozen in place. "I can freeze things in time, too. Oh, and I can slow people down, speed myself up, speed my friends up... It's awesome."
Over in the corner, an armored Yellow Krawk stood, covered in a cloak. He had a scowl on his face and carried a large axe on his back.
Next to him was an armored Red Eyrie wearing a cloak and carrying a menacing-looking spear. He smirked as he stretched his wings. "They don't even know we're here." He chuckled to himself. "We should strike now." "Idiot." The Krawk growled. "There's too many people here - even with all the soldiers we've brought with us in here, they'd easily escape in the confusion." The Eyrie frowned. "You always have to spoil the fun, Nero." Nero turned to the Eyrie and grabbed him by the front of his cloak. "Argus, do you WANT to anger Claudus?" Argus pushed the Krawk away. "No, but I want to keep those fools from interfering. Claudus will give me a huge reward if I do." Tybalt growled. "We're on a scouting mission. When we get the chance, we're going to signal the troops to jump them." Argus smirked. "Do I get to 'interrogate' them when we're done?" Tybalt nodded. "Only if you keep your beak shut."
Ashlynne looked up and narrowed her eyes. "We're being watched. I feel like we've been followed here." She reached for her grimoire.The rest of the group nodded - Miraja reached for her twin tessen, Hunter prepared to draw his sword, Sirocco drew his dagger, and Bones hefted his hammer over his shoulders. They all stood around the table, facing outwards in a defensive position.
Hunter looked back. "If any of you could help us, we'd really appreciate it."
