WK's Town of Aerilon #4

John Sherman Blitz stepped into a random pub on the west end of Aerilon, leaving the "Slamrod Behemoth" behind. The mercenary sat down on one of the bar stools next to a fat man passed out on the counter. John tapped the counter and the bartender, a scrawny young man walked up to him, wiping a mug with a wet, spotted rag. "How can I help ya... sir?" the boy said uncertainly, and for a good reason. John's armor made him pretty much gender-less. "I need a mug of beer." He responded and pressed a tiny button on the side of his helmet, the visor sliding up, revealing his eyes. The mercenary then placed his thumbs on the bottom of his helmet, his other fingers on the helmet's sides. He opened up the clamps on the bottom of his helmet, revealing a well-tanned, clean shaved man with short, slick, pitch-black hair. He watched the bartender pour his in a drink with his light blue eyes. He tossed down a ten dollar bill, uttered for the man to keep the change and took a sip of the cold beverage.

Bloodstained Koi poofed by John. "Erm... Sir...?" she asked quietly, tapping the man's shoulder Jahmzji sorta just appeared and booped Johns nose.

John slowly spit the beer back into the mug, while bartender jumped back, startled. The poor guy hit the shelves full of beverages, bottle after bottle falling down upon him. As the poor guy laid on the ground in a fetus position, bleeding from his many scratches and whimpering in a puddle of alcohol and glass shards, John got up, placing the mug back down and picking up his helmet. "Hello, Koi, and thank you for ruining a perfectly good night for drinking." And with that, he began heading towards the door, the other bar patrons looking with their eyes wide and mouths open. The man passed out by the bar mumbled something about potatoes.

Bloodstained Koi quickly cleaned up the mess for the bartender, and cared for the man's injuries, manifesting all the broken bottles back. She manifested a box of painkillers/hangover meds by the potato drunk, before following John out.

Sherman Blitz sighed as he noticed the girl and her floating fish follow him. He turned around to her as he placed his helmet back on. "What do you want, exactly?" He asked, pressing the button on the side of his helmet again, sliding the visor back into place.
Bloodstained Koi "Your help. I know that it's a long-shot.. But I need your help. My new family... They're getting something that was stolen from them. But..... But.. I need your help, sir. I'm asking kindly if you will help the only other family I have left. Please." Koi begged, looking at John pleadingly. Koi was desperate.
John sighed, remembering the story Koi had told about her family. "Alright. What do I have to do?"
Bloodstained Koi "My family told me they needed a vehicle to get out. I don't do stealing. It's wrong. Then I remembered you! You have that!" Koi pointed to the tank. "I would be very grateful if you could help us by helping us with that... Please?" Koi asked softly.
John didn't respond for a moment. "You kind of overuse the word 'help', you know."
