Tpxszum, whose name was pronounced “Rozalyn”, leading her to be sometimes nicknamed “Roz”, was one of the two waiters of the Interdimensional Tavern, alongside another member of the same species as her, Frederick.

Description

Physical appearance

Tpxszum was a “furry creature”, her fur being a “tasteful” violet hue. She has six mauve tentacles as limbs, jutting out from the ball of fur that was the bulk of her body; she could use these interchangeably as arms or legs. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

Personality

She was once seen to read a newspaper known as the Quantum-Scientific Arisrian during a break, suggesting she was more educated than one might assume given her occupation. She was at any rate the bolder and more proactive of the two waiters. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief) She liked Alistair Neezley, although she was aware that his self-aggrandising stories were nonsense and had no qualms about telling him as much. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

Biography

When the Interdimensional Tavern was temporarily invaded by the denizens of the Interdimensional Black Market due to a prank by the Faction of the Fooling Fish, she drove the effort to figure out why as well as a way to send them all back where they came from, and also saved Frederick from being fed a cursed toadstool by the Toadstool Salesman. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)

In December 2021, she was decorating the Tavern's Christmas tree when CS-NA arrived, bringing back Alistair Neezley, who'd fled off to the Interdimensional Soda Jerkery in a funk over the idea that the Tavern staff did not actually like him. Tpxszum, who had even helped prepare a Christmas present for him, immediately disabused him of these notions, officially inviting him to the Tavern's imminent Christmas party. Shortly afterwards, Tpxszum witnessed Juliet-178, Pythagoras-858 and Tero Trollgarsson teleporting into the Tavern, greeting Juliet as an old friend and acknowledging Pythe as a friend of the Tavern's insofar as he was a companion of Jenny Everywhere. After another patron, Odin, invited them to share a drink, but demanded that Juliet pay due to an offence she'd caused him, Juliet got Tpxszum to agree to pay on her behalf in exchange for a favour to be named later. She served all of them their drinks, and, after they asked if the Tavern had a hearth, introduced them to Logi; she promised to give Logi some scented redwood, again on Juliet's behalf.
