"Actually I did not know what to think but given your performance in the challenges I think you are skilled but for what reason I don't know. You seem to know what you are about and how to get there. I am curious though… what is you purpose, what do you want to 'win'?"
"I want to win everything." A smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but it was not happiness that painted Melodie's face. It was some other, unreadable expression she wore. "My 'purpose' is to snatch everything life will give me, then take even more. I'm done with sitting back and expecting things to happen with no effort on my part. If you desire more information, I'm afraid you'll have to wait just a bit longer. I'm of the opinion that mystery makes a person far more interesting."
Watching her as though studying a strange object she has never seen before she comments, "So you're the mysterious type that likes to speak poetically? I understand it." Just then the tavern wench announces a challenge which she has done before so she says out loud, "I'll have a go".
The Town's thunderous Tavern Wench insists on the Jump Tavern stools challenge. Of which Charmaine accepted. Showing off some skill, Charmaine jumps clear over to the other side in stylized fashion much to the amazement of those watching. Charmaine uses the Jump Skill successfully and is delighted at how it turned out. Some were betting, so a total of 5 gold pieces was collected for Jump. There are now chants of "Speech! Speech!" Charmaine received 54 experience points.
Pleased with the outcome she thinks, what a nice way to get both gold and some experience but you have to be 'first in line', this is the drawback. She returns to her table waving at her fans.
Just as she was getting relaxed her fans called her name with loud enthusiasm. She gets up and says, "ok, ok since you insist… " She waves the wench and walks over to the next challenge.
The Town's rowdy Tavern Wench dares the Reflexes competition of which courageous Charmaine accepted. Sharp on the move Charmaine stands at the ready as all the mugs go up into the air. Without much hesitation all are caught! Charmaine uses the Reflexes Skill successfully and is delighted at how it turned out. Some were betting, so a total of 11 gold pieces was collected for Reflexes. There are now chants of "Speech! Speech!" Charmaine received 37 experience points.
On a winning streak she takes another bow for the day and then returns to her stool with a winning expression on her face. "I'm having a good day, what about you lot?" She laughs.
