Somehow this makes me wonder why Biggs didn't try to hire Alexsi earlier. :mowsmile

And here I thought Alexsi was only scary to non-customers...

I see!  So when Dan isn't around, she takes her stress out on the customers instead...

Anyone know if there is a particular name/description for the way the two headed creature is speaking? (and I don't mean 'badly' or 'Yoda style')

Yoda speaks in Object-Subject-Verb, I think - I don't really know enough linguistics to be sure if that's what they're doing here.

I don't think she needed a bodyguard so much as someone to call medical attention for whatever's left of those who cross her. >_>

I don't know.  The character in the window looks a little older than Alexsi.  I'm wondering if it could be Destania in disguise before she left to look for Edward.

I don't think it has a formal name. Such speech patterns are common to ESL speakers trying to apply the rules and structures of their native languages to English. The Mythos is using a standard English subject-verb-object order (which may or may not be present in her native tongue), but she's applying non-standard negation rules. It's possible that she's used to a language that allows one to drop subjects/pronouns as well.

No matter how many times I see it, when Alexsi goes out and handles things herself I sometimes wonder "how many quests were offered to her?"
That girl is beautiful, dangerous, skilled and cute when she's angry.  The ultimate anti-Blond steriotype, she is.

Yes, I do post just to see my own words on the screen.

*Charline sees a naga!*  Is he gonna vore somebody?  And can I watch?  Coils... murr...  Nagas is da shmexy.  :3

*Charles stuffs Charline back in the closet*  Aaaaanyway, we can see how Alexsi is able to handle an inn that cators to both creatures and beings without any trouble.  She's scarier than most of them. 

Except for Dr. Ink and the Librarian.   :mowmeep

You know, first thing that came to my mind was this: the DMFA and CVRPG crossover a while back...  why didn't it ever have Alexsi eject hammering Darkmoon? :p

A taur two-headed, four-armed creature.  I'm starting to wonder if Amber was trying to make the strangest creature.  :erk  Or stopped short of making a spider :P
Get out of my mind, idea!  I already have an idea in here!

I hope she makes a spider someday! But I am biased and all.

The other guy next to her is pretty weird as well, but expected considering the Mythos description as a 'boiling pot of weird freaky critters that don't fit into other easily identified categories.'
