"they chat and gossip. I usually provide drinks and the occasional drink." Calix said still drinking.

"There's usually more people, and we talk about our tragic backstories," replied Nellie.

"Oh don't get me started on the subject of tragedy" said Firiko from the rafters.

Calix looked up and tossed his cup aside into the sink. "And I don't get paid enough for this job."

_(Bump)

The silver haired girl looks around warily. She seems to be around sixteen, and yet a her eyes hold an almost motherly light, and are filled with a wisdom beyond her apparent age.

"hello." Calix said when he noticed someone looking around.

The girl looks at Calix and then puts her hood back on, trying to remain unnoticed.
“Hello.”

He nodded. "Would you like anything to drink?"

The girl shook her head.
“Unless you have song wine, I don’t drink.”

"honestly I might. I have a ton of things not sure exactly what." Calix replied then walked over to one of the boxes and looked through it.

The girl shook her head.
“You won’t have it. It only exists in my home dimension.”

"alright then. Want anything else?"

Firiko watched her from the rafters, not really caring too much as he settled back, a loose feather coming out to flutter down to the floor.

The Feather lands on the girl’s shoulder, and she startles, looking up at the (person? Bird? Both? Not sure what your character is) in the rafters.

(Winged Wolf, fairly large.)
Firiko looks down at her silently, "Did you wan't something?" he asked.

The girl shakes her head, fear momentarily entering her eyes. She looks back down at her hands, but then looks up again at the sound of the door creaking open. A fox pads in confidently, sniffing the air. It looks like a normal fox, but there is a glimmer of intelligence in its eyes. The girl perks up and throws back her hood. The fox smiles, though it looks extremely creepy on a fox face, and runs over to her, jumping into her lap and licking her face once. The purple eyed girl smiles, kissing the fox’s nose and hugging him close.

Firiko sighed, "Why?"
"Cause you're unnatural" said Damian automatically.

The fox suddenly looks up at Firiko, and snarls. It clambers out of the girls lap, and suddenly morphs into an athletic looking man with orange hair and green eyes. He puts a hand protectively on the girls shoulder, eyeing the other people in the room.

The girl snaps her attention to Firiko again.
“You’re a w….no, your a shifter. Never mind.” She looks back down, but then cries out in pain. The man who was previously a fox looks at her in horror, and immediately picks her up, holding her in her arms as her body shudders in pain. She cries into his shoulder.
“Oh no, it’s begun. Is there anyone here who is a doctor?” He holds her as her skin begins to turn black and scaly, and wings begin to grow out of her back, but the girl forcefully stops the shift, and returns to normal, though she is still screaming and crying from pain.

Firiko warped down watching with concern. "I dont think we have any here…." he said… "whats wrong with her?"

The man shook his head.
“No time to explain. Can any of you set up a bed or a soft place to put her once I come back?” Without waiting for an answer, the man rushes out of the tavern, still holding the girl in his arms. After a few heartbeats, the people still inside hear a ferocious roar of pain, made by something huge. A dark shadow looms outside the building.

Calix nods and pulls out some blankets and stuff for a soft spot.

The screaming continues, but now it is much louder and slightly lower pitched, almost causing an earthquake. A glass falls and shatters on the ground.
