They belong to the Horneaters.” Lunamor led the man over to a table, then disappeared into the kitchen to prepare his order. The smell of frying oil quickly wafted out. It was easy to tell when someone was making chouta. john nodded to lunamor as he put a few extra choutas on to fry for a potential @strmblsd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Decard eyes the man in the suit, then walks over to John and, pointing at the choutas, asks “Could I have one of those please? Thank you” and hands over several spheres of dubiously high value (2 emerald broams, 4 amethyst broams, and 18 diamond chips) “I’m paying with these spheres because I have no other story ready to tell right now, and I apologize if I underpaid, I don’t understand the currency at all.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't wait to try this dish he had heard so much about from a loud man he'd met on the way with long fingernails and a smile that reminded him of an old friend from long ago in the glory days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunamor exited the kitchen, now balancing a plate of chouta and a Pewter Arm. He set down the meal in front of the man, eyeing him surreptitiously to ensure that he wasn’t up to any trouble. He was suspicious of the sort of people who asked if they could take a hot spring home with them. A customer was a customer, however. If he turned away everyone who bothered him slightly, he would have hardly any clientele. ”What is your name?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am called Lunamor." He didn't bother with giving his full name. Non-Horneaters tended to have very poor attempts at pronouncing or remembering it, and this man was clearly unfamiliar with Horneater culture. "What brings you to Urithiru? Do you plan to take one of the oathgates back home with you?" Lunamor was only half-joking about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used one to get here. Do you know how they work, perchance?" Zave asked and he had a drought from the cup. "That, my friend, is a good drink. Better than those I had around where I come from by a long shot." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either this guy was a secret lover or an assassin. Knowing the queen, it was probably the latter. ”The oathgates require a shardblade to use. Only radiants and shardbears have them, and they aren’t very common.” If Zave had always used an oathgate, why didn’t he know how it worked? That was a bit concerning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well that's obvious," He said, rubbing his hands on the table, "But how do they work. Why does it have to be a shard blade? And is it because it has to be a spren? Why not use a gem with a spren in it to unlock an oath gate? And why do the two spren appear as they do in the physical realm? How do they look in the spiritual realm? Is an oath gate different than those things that that one grumpy dude I saw can do? And, perhaps, does it have anything to do with the random warp that brought me to this universe?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know all of these things.” Lunamor could see spren even when they tried to hide, but that didn’t mean he knew everything about this stuff. ”If that grumpy man had a nose that looks like it’d been broken too many times, that was probably Dalinar. He’s a Bondsmith. Bondsmiths can open gates somewhat like the oathgates. And what did you say about a warp?” Being from another universe would certainly explain this man’s strangeness. He’d have a good story to tell, at the very least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunamor briefly looked out of the window. It seemed pretty cold out. ”Yes, he is in season.” He grabbed a bottle from a shelf and filled a cup for the new customer, greatly appreciative of the fact that he’d ordered something nonalcoholic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper129 He/Him Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 "Thank you, friend," I say. I take a long swig and sigh happily. Suddenly, you notice a long vine, sprinkled with light gray crystals. "What is that?" A cheerful voice asks, seemingly coming from the vine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWildRye he/him Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 "There hasn't been much business here in some time, huh?" Elymus asked as he entered the restaurant. "I'll have a chouta." @Lunamor He nods in acknowledgment to the other person in the restaurant.

I'm... not sure what those are. I think someone from Scadrial brought them over at some point." They were a somewhat strange fruit, but they tasted delicious. They also made an equally delicious drink. 1 hour ago, BlueWildRye said: "There hasn't been much business here in some time, huh?" Elymus asked as he entered the restaurant.

Hyper129 He/Him Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 I hear my spren, Plumeria, complain about @BlueWildRye not immediately nodding to her. You guys hear me remind the spren and say "You have to reveal yourself." Anyone who can't see the spren are very confused. "Can I have a Chouta?" I ask the server. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
