[Day 205] It's the end of the world, get drunk

[bastionpc]

Who: Georges and anyone about
Open: Open
When: 205 sometime in the afternoon
Where: Around the Monument
What: The Cael way of celebrating everyone not dying involves booze, so drink up! (Fun fact: the Cael way of mourning may also involve booze.)
Format: Any
Warnings: Drunken shenanigans, likely. Also feel free to treat this like a mingle thread and not just talking to Georges! (Although he'll try to chat with everyone if he can)


So, just to double check: A cure has been found? Everyone's recovered? No one's dead? It's safe to leave the house now? Excellent.

With this fact well known, one can find Georges starting off his morning not hanging about the bar (as is his custom as the only bartender in the Bastion) but in fact setting up something in front of the Monument. Tables, chairs, some blankets to sit on when those inevitably run out... There's also something of a makeshift bar area, a variety of liquor in fascinating bottles set up along with some glasses.

Everything is all finished up around the afternoon, and Georges goes behind his little makeshift table-bar to cup his hands around his mouth so he can yell-

"DRINKS ON THE HOUSE!"

...What do you mean he technically never makes anyone pay for booze at the end of the world? Just come up and have a drink, Georges will be happy to recommend something. Or maybe bother someone else having a drink?

[Edea isn't the only one hanging back, though for Zuko's part it's largely because she... really doesn't know how to do celebrating. She's more relieved than she can say about how things turned out. Drinking doesn't seem like the way to express that, in particular for her.

Noticing the unfamiliar face nearby, Zuko wonders how many people actually arrived in the midst of the recent crisis, or even after it, having no idea what happened.]

...new to the Bastion?

[coffeewithmysugar]

New enough. Not exactly the welcome anybody intended, I'm sure, but that's completely understandable.

[Edea leans back in her chair a little and takes in a deeper breath. She's still adjusting to the Bastion, that's for certain. But she can tell Zuko isn't exactly comfy in this situation either so she gestures to another empty chair at her table.]

Feel free to take a seat.

[daughterofursa]

It's hard to feel welcomed under the best circumstances.

[Considering what has to be explained to everyone when they get here. With a nod, she does decide to take a seat.]

...there are a lot of good people here, though.

[coffeewithmysugar]

To be honest part of me is hoping this is still some crazy extended dream.

[Yeah that was not exactly the best news to be given by complete strangers. She also threatened an innocent fairy. Good going Edea.]

That's what everyone keeps saying. Given this outcome I can believe it.

[daughterofursa]

I was hoping that at first, too.

[She used to have a lot more hope for finding other survivors from her world, too, but she's not going to mention that. It's depressing.]

Really? It seems pretty lucky to me, not to have anyone stirring up trouble.

[coffeewithmysugar]

[Let's be honest there are a lot of things about the Bastion that are depressing. She's just trying really hard not to dwell on them.]

Anybody reprehensible enough to make trouble in this situation is black as pitch. I take it most of your trouble stems from outside forces, then?

[daughterofursa]

[There are a lot of depressing things, that's why she doesn't need Zuko's help getting there.]

...I don't know that it's always that simple. [Speaking as a reformed villain.] But most of the trouble you find on the Skyway.

[coffeewithmysugar]

That's good news, at least. I'm used to fighting but I'd rather not do it anymore than I have to. It's absolutely exhausting.

[It is that simple when you're Edea. And so she hits her limit for the time being on talking about negative things. Time for a shift. She folds her arms on the table and leans forward.]

So, my name's Edea. May I know yours?

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko quirks her eyebrow at that; not that fighting can't be exhausting, but that's never been her complaint about it. She doesn't comment, though, just nodding at the other girl's introduction.]

It's Zuko.
