That is hardly a polite response to a simple question.

[Tazendra decides to take the aggression as a challenge, because she makes good decisions like that.]

Unless you can direct us to where he would be if banned from this establishment?

[needsteaplz]

[And here she was trying not to bring any trouble to this place. Saori's very sorry,
Barkeep.]

Now, really! If we were buddy-buddy with him, we wouldn't have come here in the first place. We just had some questions for him unless you think you can give better answers than him. But now after the lack of hospitality we just got, I don't think that's the case.

It's quite a shame the Space Saloon has fallen this far.

[melodiesnpcs]

Fallen this far? Why, I have made of this sad and decrepit bar a jewel! Never has the realm seen such an assortment of people and beverages offered for such generous prices!

[ As if to support his words, a particularly big and ugly green dog comes by Gilgamesh with a silver plate on its back-- Gilgamesh proceeds to put eight different drinks on the plate with his eight arms before the dog goes back to serving whoever ordered the drinks. ]

Have you ever seen such speed? Such service? Unless you have anything of interest to offer, away with you!

[fearlessherosheart]

Say, do I know that creature?

[Tazendra is not the best at remembering people, even when she had fought them. Look, she fights a lot of people.]

[needsteaplz]

It's the first I've seen such a dog like that. I'll commend you on your training ability at least.

[She still thought his hospitality needed work but she held her tongue. Saori pulls out a pouch and puts several hundred gil and places it on the counter. Out of habit, she's still has her hidden blades on her but probably the most outstanding was Garland's sword on her back. ]

The original Space Saloon in Aqures Ixen was the best. Speed is one thing but I'll judge the quality for myself. Beer for me and anything she'll have too.

[Still, drinks only make up half of the menu of any good saloon. She'll have to inquire about the food later. Part of her realized they were probably wasting time here but her pride as a worker/temporary owner of the saloon got the better of her.]

We just wanted to see if Biggs or perhaps anyone else could provide us any worthwhile information of what's happened over the last five years.

[melodiesnpcs]

So you know of the tragedy that befell us five years ago! [ He seems satisfied that someone seems to know at least. ] I had found opponents worthy of dying by my blade, those the realm had called the Heroes of Light! I made way to their city, the famous Aqures Ixen, but all had vanished with no explanation and I was left bereft of any challenges.

[ The memory seems to annoy him and he quickly mixes up four more drinks with his eight arms: the glasses before him are title "Hi-Elixir," "Poison," "Ether" and "Maiden's Kiss." ]

What a horrible era it was! I wandered aimlessly, seeking new challenges and opponents but none crossed my path besides nameless fiends. For a time, the thought of surrendering myself to being the most powerful swordsman in the world by default crossed my mind. But nay, for fate had a far more glorious story for me. It is when I stumbled upon this modest village. Upon learning of my repute, these desperate people asked of my services to put an end to the local Archfiend. And thus here I am, bidding my time until this powerful Dwarf falls to thirst and comes in search of beverages. Never has such a fine plan been devised!

[needsteaplz]

Hmm you do get points for this plan but the fact the Archfiend hasn't come down here...

[The fighter in Saori was piqued at Gilgamesh's comment about the Heroes of Light. If she had her goddess powers back, she'd be more than happy to give him a challenge.Not to mention, she shouldn't be causing trouble here.

That "Hi-Elixir" seemed pretty tempting to her. She points to it.]

I might have one of those actually.

So...if hypothetically the Heroes of Light were to come back, what would you do?
