A large wooden plank hangs from above the door, the words OPEN written in unclear red paint. Watered down from years of wind and rain. Though, one did not have to read the sign to see that the Murky Goblet Alehouse was open, he had only to listen to the sounds of gunfire, broken glasses and constant roars of laughter to answer that question.
Jack Rackham's first reaction to the great two story tavern was not a look of awe, but rather a duck. A duck from an ale glass being thrown at the man behind him. Another fight? he thought to himself, still walking. In the corner of his eye, he caught glimpse of a man with his arm back, preparing to throw another ale. Jack grabbed his wrist as it descended, , sending some of the ale into his eyes. He blinked it off as he waved a finger at the man with his free hand. "Now, wasting a good ale is not the way of the gentlemen! If you are done with it..." Jack punched the man straight in the face. "You should give it to a sober man!" He said, pulling the pint away from the mans loosened grip.
The man fell back, landing hard against a table with three men drinking upon it. They did not appreciate his arrival. Simultaneously they smiled, fists clenched.
Welcome to the Murky Goblet Alehouse!

Mako shoved her way to the bar. "I want anything strong, anything!" She said glaring at the man. All she wanted was to forget the day she had. "NOW!" she yelled, her eyes wickedly shining.

The nearest man handed Mako a drink, smiling widely. "Here Y-hic-ya go, ma'am!"

A raucous laugh came from above on a balcony as Fiona Westwind leaned back in her chair, drinking from a stein of Cherry Grog. She she appeared to be an elf, at least to humans, though in truth she was only half elven. Her stark white hair was cut short, just long enough to be held in a neat little pony tail. She wore a finely tailored red shirt, with a brown vest with gold embroidery over it. Her white-leather breeches were tucked into the big brown mariner-style boots.
"Never a dull moment..." she said, laughing at the idiots below and drinking from her large cup.

Mako smiled back, downed the drink, then punched the man square in the jaw. "I don't enjoy getting gawked at. Another!" Pulling up her glove, she made another fist.

"I'm afraid you'll have to go to the bartender to get your drink this time! It appears you just killed your current one!" Jack yelled from across the noisy room. He took another sip as he leaned back against the nearest support beam. "Here, lemme buy ya one!"

Mako looked at the man. Nodding in approval she said, "Fine. Didn't exactly mean to kill him." Relaxing a little, dhe flipped her light blue hair off her shoulderm jankling her necklace. "So what brings you here? Cause it isn't the intellectual conversation," she said waving a hand nonchalantly around the room. There were at least 5 fights surrounding them and shouting was ever present.

"Me? Haha, I'm so used to askin' that question I don't have much of an answer for it." He took another drink as he waved his ale hand around the room, "I suppose it's the company!"
A roar of "Here Here!" boomed in approval.
"What about you ma'am? Just lookin' for a drink? Or perhaps ya had somethin' else on yer mind?"

Fiona muttered something as her mug went dry. She looked around, and saw a man unconscious on the tabel, holding a tankard in his hand. Sloshed... She took the tankard from his hand and sniffed it.. It was a very bad ale.. the cheap stuff they servved here.. She took it and threw the contents ( and afterwards the mug itself) into the crowd from her place on the balcony above them. "Bartender got knocked cold.. Wonder if he'd mind if i helped meself.." she asked herself rhetorically, eyeing where the kegs were located.

Mako fiddled with the empty glass. "I want to forget what I have done today." Looking to the baretender on the ground she smiled, "And not just that." Lookng to the man again she said, "So where is that promised drink?" with a raised eyebrow.

Jack's face stiffened. "Oh, right...a drink, uh." he peered around the room. Seeing no one with a full glass of thr good ale. "Hold on a moment!"
Jack put one leg on a spinning chair for support as he leapt over the bar. He didn't stick the landing however, so he fell flat on his stomach. Luckily, no one could see him behind the bar. Grabbing the biggest barrel of bourbon he could find, he struggled to shift his wieght to his legs for optimal lifitng performance. He managed though, placing it on the bar. Smiling he put an arm on the lid and the other hand pointing to the words Bourbon writtin on the front. "Your drink ma'am?: He said as he grinned.

Mako smiled largely. "Man after my own heart." She stood and glided over to him, cup in hand. "Will you do the honors of opening it for me?" Smiling as sweetly as she could, she raised her glass, hoping no one else would notice, yet.

"Alright then!" He pulled out his pistol, took aim towards the bottom of the barrel, and let a shot free. "There ya go! Bourbon for you!"

Fiona snuck quietly ( by that i mean she didn't go shouting and fighting like everyone else) around to the bar side.. but someone made off with the better stuff already.. the whole keg! She ppered around, finding it on the table beside her.. She snuck around behind it, and stuck a knife in the backside of it, nonchalantly using it as a shield to prevent Jack and mako from seeing exactly what she was doing. as the bourbon leaked out, she filled her tankard with one hand, and a canteen on the other. She whistled innocently, pretending that she was just standing beside the table.

Mako set her glass down, then quickly went and grabbed the crazy man by his colar. "What are you mad!" she yelled, and socked him in the gut. Letting him go, she put her glass under the stream of bourbon. "Men." she said, rolling her eyes. Noticing the other hole she looked around and noticed the whistling girl. "Excuse me? Just like to take things do you?"
