So here I am... sitting in the train, beeing on my way to a city I long forfeit... beeing my old self... it's like I'm travelling back in time. I got no idea what I should be doing during the ride, beeing concerned about the
situation won't bring me anywhere, and I don't know if Eldnoir changed, after all, it's been a long time... I guess I just relax until I arrive.
Finally I arrived. That was probably the longest hour ever in my life. The first thing I notice is the smell. This filthy, stingy smell of all the scum around here.
I don't have to walk around to see that Eldnoir hasn't changed at all, I even have the feeling the smell got more penetrant over the years.
I think my first destination should be 'The Black Eel'.
There it is... still as old and weary. I start to have the feeling that this place is stuck in time.

Moonhowler and blueberries?! Hahahaha oh god, it's you! Man, it's been a while!
Blademane wrote:
Nice to see you again Emma.
Emma... I'm pop flyin' she's still here and running the bar. I used to come here directly after I completed my missions or when I wanted to drown my problems with some alcohol. Emma has always been here... seeing her again reminds me that I actually missed her.Emma wrote:
What brings you back to Sin City all of a sudden? Got enough of the fancy life in the big city and want to play bounty hunter again?
Blademane wrote:
No, no... there is something I need to do. I need some information, that's why I came here. And who would I be
if I wouldn't come say hello to you first?
Emma wrote:
Haha, I see, something to do, eh? What is your special quest then? Ye know what, lemme see myself.
Emma bent down and looked into my eyes. She has a special gift which allows her to see what people are actually feeling, thinking, or even see their stories. She has always been a sly one, and her ability made it even harder should someone be so foolish to try and trick her.Emma wrote:
Ah Blade, your eyes are as easy to read as always. I wonder why you never got trouble, your eyes are too honest for the dirty jobs you performed. But I told you that often enough, I doubt you're here to hear that from me haha! You finally found something very special, hmm?
Blademane wrote:
Not something... someone.
Emma wrote:
Oho, so the famous Blademane can fall in love after all! I hope your lover doesn't mind that you are a bit hairy haha!
Blademane wrote:
It's a friend Emma, and it's a girl.
Emma wrote:
Ah, a friend... I see. But she must be quite the interesting one when you care so much. You also seem to be concerned about her safety.
Blademane wrote:
Well, you know, I wanted to take her to somewhere fancy today, but a vampire showed up and managed to enthrall her. I wanted to smash her face in pieces, but my friend proposed that we should go search some red jellyfish, and whoever comes back first would get the dance with her.
Emma wrote:
Pffff HAHAHAHA!! Oh man, if you could listen to yourself, fancy ball, holding back on a vampire, and now searching for a jellyfish?!
That's the best story I heard in weeks HAHAHAHA!!
Blademane wrote:
...I guess I changed. Unfortunately there are more scumbags competing, they heard of it aswell. I just hope she's safe as long as I'm gone...
Emma wrote:
Eh, don't worry. Seeing that you aren't wearing your necklace, I bet you gave it to her as a present, it'll keep her safe.
Blademane wrote:
Probably... Oh, talking about necklaces
Blademane wrote:
I think those earrings are yours.
Emma wrote:
Hey, where did you find them? Some asshole stole them a couple of days ago from me with his cheap magic tricks when I wasn't looking!
Blademane wrote:
Well, on my way to your bar some pretty face tried selling me these. I recognised them immediately, and now his face isn't so pretty anymore. Figured you wanted them back.
Emma wrote:
Ha, still quite the gentleman here. But really, I couldn't find this idiot, I was looking everywhere. The new generation here doesn't know anymore what they can and can't do, they got pretty ruthless.
Even scum like us have feelings and a past, stealing personal things to sell them for some cash is considered a low-blow, even for our terms. You should watch whom you might try to sell it, it could be the one particular friend who will redesign your face and bodyshape.Blademane wrote:
Well Emma, I think I should be going now. Is Bubba here?
Emma wrote:
Yeah, he's in the same place as usual. And the drink is free, see it as a thanks for getting my earrings back!
Blademane wrote:
Alright then, it's been really nice to have seen you again, take care.
Emma wrote:
You should take care, too. Gado is in the city and he still hates you with a passion.
Blademane wrote:
...I see. Thanks for telling me.
Gado... a bounty hunter and my sworn rival. He never was too much of a trouble for me, but I should watch out, if I guessed right by Emmas words he stayed a bounty hunter in the time I retired, he could have become dangerous for me now... I shouldn't worry too much, I rather should go to Bubba now, if someone has the informations I need, it's him.
