"An army... of buckles." Jaynus repeated slowly. "Aura, with all due respect, you're losing it." he teased.
Staring into the angry eyes of his best friend, he sighed. "Don't worry, they'll all be out by morning. I offered the bar to the city council only because they offered a really good price..." he chuckled nervously. "But I guess enough is enough, huh?"
The angry glare of the sylph was answer enough.
"I know it's asking a bit much, but just put up with it till morning. Please? Then everything will go back to the way it usually is."
Yup... the everything would go back to normal. These days, however, Jay was starting to associate 'normal' with 'boring'... as this thought crossed his mind, his eyes darted to the sheet pinned to the bulletin board once more.

Some of the drunk fools from the bar have overheard the words of Kankuro as the three of them come walking up to his table. "What was that?" the drunk in the middle barked "You... who do you think you are?" The one on the left stepped forward, shaking his fist at Kankuro, saying "Jerk... how dare you call us weak!" The one on the right side steps forward now with his sword's sheath with the sword inside in his hand "Punk, who are you to make such judgments? I should kill you right now!"
Kankuro, who at first didn't even acknowledge their existance, looked up to the three of them while sitting casually on his chair. "No offense, but you are all better off just staying home. There will be enough corpses to walk over without people like the three of you being there. To be honest, you're weak... go home."
"W-Why... you!" the drunk in the center yells as he looks to slug at Kankuro with his right fist. Kankuro scoots back a bit, looking to dodge or counter what is coming his way. But, another drunk comes from behind "Hey.... shut up, you fool!" The drunk attempting to attack Kankuro drops like a ton of bricks as the glass bottle shatters over his head. The two other drunks turn to the guy and the one on the left punches the drunk with the broken bottle. The other drunks see this and they all start punching each other, turning into one massive bar fight.
Kankuro stares blankly into the crowd of drunks who are fighting amongst each other. "Hmph... worthless..." he mutters.

Chaz yelped at the commotion, alerting Jaynus as well, who looked over Aura's head (with little difficulty, given her size) at the crowd of now fighting warriors.
"Well... I guess it was to be expected. Warriors, drunk, cooped up in a bar..." he sighed. "Sorry to interrupt our ... conversation, Aura, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to put a stop to this. Care to help?"
He pulled a whip out from seemingly no where, and with a single crack it became ensnared in violent flames. Whipping at the nearest (and biggest) warrior, it wrapped itself around his wrist, burning into his skin. "I'm sorry, no fighting allowed." he tugged on his whip and with a bit of difficulty, managed to pull the fighter away from the brawl. Unwinding his whip, he left the warrior to nurse the burn marks around his wrist.
"It's fun, Aura! Like herding cattle!"

Aura's right eye began to twitch as she surveyed the tavern, which was now basically a free-for-all wrestling match with huge, drunk warriors. Her foot began to twitch towards the direction of the door and she eyed the distance uncertainly. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye she noticed a whole table of alcohol tipping on it's side...
"EH! YOU MORONS! DO YOU WANNA BE THE ONES CLEANING THE FLOORS TONIGHT, BECAUSE I HAVE A BACK PROBLEM!"
She huffed, and just spared enough time to be amused by Jay's cattle comment before wipping out a dagger and throwing it near enough to the brute's head for him to pause and stop bumbling around. The table dropped to the floor, alcohol in tact. Sighing in relief, Aura jumped over the bar, landing in a crouch on the other side. She looked through the different bottles and glasses, not finding the one box she was looking for.
"Jay! Where's your lute?"

Jaynus was now standing on the bar counter, his firey whip stretched out over the crowd, having a particularly hard time trying to restrain a particularly large warrior who was swinging his sword around violently.
"My lute?" he turned around to look at Aura as she crouched down behind the bar looking for boxes. "It's in the red box under my emergency supply of Bastard Hippo's..... Wait," he paused. "Why? Are you planning to steal it again?" he asked suspiciously.

Kankuro just sat there calmly, lounging back as the madness insued due to his words. He was approached by the whimpy bartender who had served him before.
"M-Mr. Kankuro..." the bartender mumbled as politely as he can "... this bar fight... that's going on... y-you didn't somehow... start it, right?"
Kankuro looks over his way without saying a word and then looked over to the people fighting in front of the bar. "Yeah... I sorta did." he answers.
The bartender nods slowly "I see... well, seeing that you are sitting here comfortably... would you... uh... lend us a hand at calming these people down?"
Kankuro looks away from the fighting and he stretches. "What? The owner of the bar can't handle this by himself? It's not my problem..." Suddenly, a glass bottle comes flying for Kankuro's face. Kankuro ducks just in time for the bottle to miss and crash at the wall behind him. ".... now, it's becoming a problem.... Who the hell threw that?!" Kankuro stands up, looking to draw his sword but, the bartender stops him.
"Puh-please don't kill anyone... it's bad for business..." the bartender requests.
Kankuro growls and takes his hand off his sword's hilt. "Fine..." he accepts as he makes his way over to the fight, starting to pry people off of each other... punching some who trying to swing at him.

Aura looked up from her searching and cast Jay an exasperated glance, trying to ward off the guilty look that threatened to show on her face. The idea had only passed through her mind for a moment...
"Mr Buckle is the only one for me." She said stubbornly, searching even more frantically under the bar as the sound of glass breaking reached her ears. She finally lifted off the box of Bastard Hippos to discover the red box,
"I was *thinking*, I do that sometimes you know, that maybe if you played a little tune, it might convince everyone to stop breaking things!" She winced as another bottle was destroyed, but suceeded in grabbing the lute from it's box. She only stopped for a moment to admire the way it shined under the bar lights.
"Here!" She yelled, jumping on top of the bar and pushing it into Jay's hands. "And watch out for that big guy over there." she said, motioning to Kankuro. "That sword looks rather sharp." The urge to run and get out of there continued...

"Play a song?" he asked flatly. "I don't think ... I don't think that'll work! I mean... not without a bit of Minstrel magic. " he pulled his whip back and it disappeared again within his coat, and he sat cross-legged on top of the bar counter.
"Okay, let's see... how does this one go again..." he closed his eyes, concentrated, and the thin but strong strings of his lute began to glow with an odd purple color. A sure sign that there was magic in them. Strumming them slowly, he felt his lute exhale with magic each time a string was plucked. Once had a song going, a soft lullaby, the magical influence in his playing began to become apparent.
Several of the fighters lowered their weapons and looked around dizzily. a few yawning. The gentle music drowned out the sounds of the fight, quite literally, as the fight itself began to simmer down. Most of the warriors had now abandonned the fight and sat down silently at the tables, on the edge of conciousness.
Only a few fighters in the corner remained fully awake, resisting the magic of Jaynus' lute.

"Ok, enough of this, you drunk fools!" Kankuro shouted as he continues to remove the fighters from each other. One of the drunks went to punch Kankuro but, he ducked under the man and lifted the man over his shoulder, tossing the man behind him. The man flips over, crashing through a wooden table.
The bartender sees this and freaks out. "K-KANKURO!!!" the bartender yells "Try not to break anything.... please..." The bartender looks to the table and sweatdrops "This is gonna come out of my paycheck... I just know it!"
Kankuro shrugs. "Not my prob-" Suddenly, he stumbles forward. A drunk apparently grabbed a chair and broke it over Kankuro's back. Kankuro stops as a deep silence settles around the bar. Kankuro was pissed and every single one inside the bar can feel the uneasiness. The fighting actually stopped as they all turned to the demonic presence that stood in the middle of it.
"Y-you... mother(CENSOR)!!!" Kankuro yelled as he turned his way to the drunks, unsheathing his sword. "YOU ALL ARE GONNA DIE!!!" Kankuro.... went beserk.

"I.... am really losting my touch with my playing skills." Jaynus ruffled his hair uneasily, watching Kankuro attempt to tear apart the last few warriors. Setting his lute aside, he pulled out his flaming whip again.
"Okay then, playtime is over!" he cracked it once and it once again ignited in flames. "Save your energy -" Jaynus shot the whip out and let it entangle itself not around Kankuro's write, but his neck. "- For the war."
With a lot of effort, Jaynus pulled Kankuro back, but pulled his whip back as soon as he had put enough distance between the berserked warrior and the would-be victim. Rubbing his arm and wincing, as it had taken a lot of strength to pull back the huge warrior, Jaynus looked around wildly for help. Chaz, being the oh so useful bartender that he was, was cowering in the corner.
"I should really hire security one of these days..."

Kankuro had lost interest in the little feeble-minded drunks as he felt a leather whip which was burning at his skin. Kankuro turned to his new target, the whip-weilder and he pulled at the whip, using his strength to loosen the whip and escape the tight grip. He didn't want to give the whip user the time to recover as he cleared the distance between them. Kankuro charged into the whip weilder, ramming the butt of his hilt into his gut, sending him crashing into the wall. Kankuro walked over to the now slouched adversary and pointed his sword at his neck.

Aura had been watching nervously from behind the bar while Jay attempted to stop the overgrown barbarian who was killing patrons. It was...ahem, *difficult* for her not to run in and join the fray (AKA, run for her life), but she somehow resisted the urge. Instead, she settled for being an impromtu cheerleader, whispering encouragements and doing a werid quasi-dance with a lot of jumping and wild hand movements.
"That's it! You get 'im, Jay!" She yelled, doing a small pirouette. She stopped suddenly when Kankuro was able to resist Jay's whip and make a comeback by basically beating her best friend into a pulp. Once again, she was caught in the middle; to run, or not to run? She grasped Mr Buckle in her hand and then suddenly...something shiny caught her eye.
It was Jay's lute! She thought. Maybe she could just grab it and make for the door...
No! That's not right...
So, in a split second decision, she grabbed the shining lute from off the bar and charged with her best warrior scream. "KIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She yelled, jumping on Kankuro's back and beating him on the head repeatedly with Jay's precious lute.
"Take this you...you...drunk demon on steroids!" She didn't pause in her attack and continued to abuse the poor lute on Kankuro's head.

Jaynus's face was stricken with fear at the fact that his lute - and more importantly, his life - was in danger. Seeing that Aura's lute attack managed to at least distract Kankuro, Jay proceeded to crack his whip around the neck of the warrior, this time determined not to let him go.
The whip ignited once again, and Jay pulled on it to make sure it was nice and tight around his neck. "I've really got to think about hiring security..." he muttered again.
"We do make quite a good team, don't we, Aura?" he asked pleasantly.

Kankuro's eyes seem to flame up as he has not only got that whip around his neck again... he has another person clinging to him from behind. With the whip weilder still close, he rushed the man, combinding the weight of his and the one clinging to him to knock the wind out of the whip-weilder. As the man slouched back down, Kankuro turned his focus to the one behind him and reached back, Leaning over, he flipped the person over his shoulder. As the person landed, he looked over and saw that it was a girl. Kankuro looked to stand back up but, due to his blind rage, he stumbled and fell to his knees. One hand landed on the wooden floor... and the other hand landing on something... much more softer.
Kankuro's eyes went wide as he looks to see his hand landing on that woman's breast. Kankuro, the rage leaving him, backs away and bows to her. "I.... I'm so s-sorry... ma'am... I d-didn't... mean to..." he studders, as he bows some.

Aura had the breath knocked out of her as she hit the floor, her eyes closed and she waited for the pain that was probably going to follow soon...
And it did, she winced as something hard hit her in the stomach...oh wait, that wasn't her stomach...
Her eyes opened wide and she let shriek that would give the nearest banshee a wild run for her money. She quickly flipped over, switching positions with Kankuro and using the element of surprise to land two quick slaps on his face. She darted up to her feet in the blink of an eye and promptly stomped on the warrior's chest; mostly blinded by rage.
"You sexist pig! You desperate womanizing loser! LET'S JUST SAY THAT I KNOW YOU'RE OVER-COMPENSATING FOR SOMETHING!" Her wild shrieks soon turned into sniffles and she turned away from the ashamed and thoroughly pounded warrior beneath her. "I feel so defiled!" She complained to Jay, turning to walk back to the bar. Half-way there she turned away as sort-of an after thought and grabbed Jay's lute from off the ground where she had dropped it.
In one fluid motion, she picked it up and broke it into two pieces over Kankuro's head. Then she continued to the bar and took comfort in a Bastard Hippo and the brassy-ness of Mr Buckle.
