Darren heeds Seddi's advice and sticks to the soft drinks.

The bartender plucks the membership card out of your hand and studies it, before biting back what sounded like a cross between a sign and groan and handing it back. "You're one of Dandy Man's possy? *Shakes head* Should've known better. You're exactly the sort of folk  he loves hanging with. *Huffs* Can't ever say he's boring, though - I wonder colors you'll end up flying 'fore the night is out, Dea Cowboy."

Your request for information gets a raised eyebrow as the bartender goes back to cleaning some glasses.

"Hmm....what kind? *Listens further* Is it about a specific Mon - an owned or notorious one - or you wanting to know if what you're looking for is on the market? Either or, the Afterlife can provide the details, maybe even get one for you....for the right price, that is ."

The ordering of Fairy King's Retort causes both her eyebrows to shot up to her garish hairline and to lean back, as if she couldn't believe it. Several patrons also pause and give you looks, some surprise, others curious, and a few less than friendly or happy.

" Fairy King's Retort ? *Shakes head* You sure like to stand out, eh? Nobody has ordered this drink before....Ol' Oberon isn't exactly the most well beloved here. Not after all his threats, grandstanding, and getting half the civilized world to hate our guts on 'principle' , bah . Mostly put the drink on there to round out the list, 'cause you can't have a line of Cheshire's Heroes without including the most famous and notorious one aside from the Savoir - praise be his name. "

She shakes her head, and gives you a surprisingly cocky smile.

"You're the customer, though, and you know what you want. *Chuckles* 'Til you're too drunk to tell the difference between a Pokeball, Voltorb, and Jigglypuff, anyway. One Fairy King's Retort , coming right up - Extra Special version, for a daring one like you." 

It takes a few minutes, during which you felt what amount to a curious 'Hmm?' from your Bond with Iron Leaves as they 'analyzed' what the bartender was doing - getting out special ingrediants you couldn't see, muttering some words under her breath, and using what looked to be a shaker that was inscribed with Old Unown magic runes with great care and specificity - , but the Special Drink was made and done. She reached up from under the bar and pulled out what appeared to be a rose pink coloured glass chalice studded with button shaped pink and black gems around the lip and the flat, circular base depicting what looked like a constellation of sorts. With one last firm shake the bartender uncaps the Special brew made and poured it right into the glass, which caused it to light up - not enough to obscure the drink itself, but more than enough to draw your gaze.

"The Fairy King's Retort . It'll make you feel like as if you're the Fairy King himself, from Sweet Beginnings to Bitter Ends."

For all the flair and ceremony around the drink, it was.....plain looking. Cream white and slightly pink top, a smooth brown coffee lower half that made a gradient with the pitch black bottom, and swirls of the cream and coffee liquor dancing around the 'middle' of it all. Picking it up and tilting it around didn't disturb the overall image much - though the glass did brighten at your touch and the swirling stilled.

[ANALYZING....PARTIAL RESULTS ATTAINED: This Drink is Highly Anomalous, Filled with Magic and Strange Energies. It's Composition and Ethereal Readings Points to it being Safe to Drink - If Having Unknown Yet Specific Effects on You.]
[CAUTION, CONCERN: Are You Certain You Wish to Drink This? I Do Not Know If I Can Counter-Act Any Deleterious Influences of It, Unlike with The Circle. If You Still Do, Proceed With Utmost Caution and Moderation.]

Iron Leaves chimes up from your Bond, sound both curious and worried about the FKR before you. Still, you Ordered the Drink, so you were going to, well, drink it. Only question was, now or later?

---

Initially you were blown off by the hecklers, not believing a 'overdressed play-acting tough Footer' , not believing you for a second. One of them even goes so far as to Taunt you about it. "Yeah? Then why don't ya bring out that big gun of yours, ya stiff? *Snorts* That right, you cant't, you pretentious Dea Day dandy. *Points at you* How about you just leave and let real customers have their drinks - "

Then you Summoned Goodra, who immediately caused the entire club to go quiet for a moment as they stretched and let out a cute little yawn. It then looked at the now far from certain grisly merc looking fellow and gave them a bright smile and wave~ Their ever present aura of approachability and Friendliness is still clear and strong as ever, but so too is the sheer Power they casually displayed.

"*Slowly lowers finger*....Like you, and I call it for the night. I...think I had too much, and need to cool off."

The guy then proceeds to pay his tab off and slink off, going not too fast as to invite himself up to getting heckled himself but Swift enough to make a statement, earning a snort from the bartender, who looked like they were barely containing their laughter. Your friend-shaped Dragon waves them farewell, wishing them a good night and safe trip home! Soon after the music starts playing again and the punkish, devil-may-care and gritty atmosphere resumes, though it was clear you and your group were now the center of attention.

During all this you pick up that several people here were now more Interested in you than ever, some of them Tough Looking Trainers eyeing up that Dragon with various looks curiosity, greed, or battle hunger.

"A 'mon that's on the market.  Specifically one that knows Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or Soak.  What kinda price we talkin' about for info like that?"

Anyone watching Seddi carefully might notice that he's not exactly uncomfortable with this kind of talk in this kind of environment.  He's keeping a careful eye on his surroundings, but he's still as calm and collected as ever.

The bartender's surprise at him ordering the drink themed around Creshire's infamous Champion doesn't faze Seddi at all either.  Her comment about him knowing how to stand out gets a chuckle from him though.  "Folks like me thrive off of the reputations we earn.  I think it won't take ya long to find out I'm no ordinary cowboy."

...and Goodra's entrance hammers that point into the ground!  Seddi will ignore the patrons staring hungrily at Goodra for the time being, though he's still keeping them in his peripheral vision, and motions for Goodra to be watchful as well.  Notably, he's also saving the Fairy King's Retort for later.

[Gonna keep my wits about me for the time being.  'Preciate the concern though, Leaves.]

Seddi listens intently, noting down anything he thinks might be important.

"Well well well, sounds like you're also starting to build yourself a reputation.  Might want to watch your back in the future though.  I've heard the boss of that group is a nasty piece of work."

Seddi will raise an eyebrow when Akamu shows he has a katana of all things.  "Ain't that somethin'.  I'm not really an expert on old writing myself, but maybe someone in our circle is.  I'd say it's worth askin'."

Almost managed to run off into the Wilds before one of my Bounty Hunters caught it, and they've been a grumpy, discontent asshole ever since. Family at this point would rather it do what makes it happy, I want to get rid of this pain in my neck, both us parties get paid for it, and you get an experienced warrior you don't have to care too much about dying on ya. *Snarks* Is that a deal or what?"

Since you seem to be real buddy buddy with Dodger and about to take care of one royal pain in Bayhama's butt, however, I'm willing to discount it if you are willing to own Afterlife a big Favor down the line.
