*****************************************

This isn't a new log, but I haven't posted it publically before. It's really to show two things: 1. It's possible even to roleplay when no one else is around; and 2. I sometimes do more than just mock people through song when I do roleplay...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tremalking Splice
The room is dim and filled with pungent tabac smoke. Off in the dark
corners, a group of people can be seen squatting down on the ground.
Only muttering and repeated clattering of dice emanate out from the
corner, otherwise everyone in here seems to keep to themselves. Those
sitting at tables in the center and others at the bar seem intent on
drinking as much as possible.
A small sign hangs from the wall.

enjoyed that log actually. somehow made me think of the street musicians of bremen. Maybe bring a donkey next time :P Can't remember exactly what animals that is but seem to remember something about a donkey and maybe a rooster

Edit: I was right. Donkey, cat, dog and rooster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_Musicians_of_Bremen
