((Yeah sure we can have a bar farag0n, it started as essentially the drunkards guild so I don't see why not))
Johnny was moved by the amount of sympathy shown for their fallen comrade. The Brotherhood was still so young and this was one of its first losses. The only difference being that almost all the other losses had been in battle, Clifton was their finest leader as of so far, and had been killed in an alleyway.
Johnny took part in the chant, and raised his goblet high towards the heavens in a final solute to Clifton. He had just risen from his seat when he heard Alphonso raise a question he was unhappy, but somewhat obligated to answer.
"Alphonso... " Johnny sighed heavily in reply. "Everybody... " He added, changing his address. "I didn't think it necessary to portray the details of Clifton's death at a dinner in memory of him. But i can sense unrest in the lack of knowledge." He elaborated on his previous point. Johnny inhaled deeply before his next words."Clifton's body was outside the Teravan pub sometime early this morning. The cause of death was multiple stab and slash wounds to his upper and lower torso. If they people knew who they were killing it was at least three armed assailants. " He explained slowly, the words seemed to be hurting him. "At this point in time we know nothing about who would even want to do this, I have sent reconnaissance to Ifton to start finding potential suspects. A party of about a dozen including myself will be departing to Ifton sometime tomorrow to arrive well after sunset. " He paused before finally adding "If you have been selected for this mission either myself, or one of my messengers will approach you privately and ask for your services."
After more silence greeted him he ultimately ended his second speech. "The bar is open to anybody interested, I however will be resting for tomorrow. " With these last words he gathered himself and left through the back entrance to the dining hall.
That night Johnny sat in his bed, attempting to sleep, but was kept awake by tortured thoughts of Clifton and his murderers.
((Most of you guys should probably go to the bar and before I post about us leaving the headquarters to Ifton you should probably write something about being approached by a messenger again, they want you to come with me to Ifton. If you happen to miss the departure just try to work yourself in somehow.
