[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?

[ She remembers Ippo! It does take a moment or two for her to recognize him, though. Once she does recognize him, her eyes light up and she smiles brightly at him. ]

Ippo! Ippo, right? It's so good to see you again!

[ Yaaaay, friend! ]

I'm doing well. How about you? How have you been?

[windgod]

Well...I've been better physically, but I feel a lot more jointed in my head than I did, so I'd say my little camping trip was well worth it.

[Kohaku's smile quickly put Ippo at ease and he couldn't help but smile back...there was something infectious about it.]

So, have you gotten yourself settled in somewhere at the apartments? If you need help getting something to your room, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand!

[spiria]

Ah ... well, I didn't arrive here with much, so once I did get an apartment I was able to just walk right in and make myself at home. As much as I could, anyway ...

[ Actually she spent a lot of time moping. Oh, sorry, mourning. Zulf wouldn't want her to talk like that. Or even think like that. He'd made that clear when they talked a while back. ]

Where did you go on your camping trip?

[windgod]

Well...all over really.

[He hadn't really thought about where he was going to go, he'd just picked a direction and started walking.]

Everything out there is so strange and different from what I'm used to...and sometimes paths would just come up from underfoot as I walked. This really is a fantastical kind of place...

[spiria]

I remember that sort of thing happening ... so you were on the Skyway? Isn't it really dangerous there?

[ Since arriving, she's only been on the skyway one other time. That's how much that first time has impacted her. ]

[windgod]

It is but...

[He paused, rubbing his arm lightly as he tried to think of the proper words to explain himself. He hadn't really thought it all the way through until he was out on the skyway, but he definitely had a reason for it all.]

I needed some time to myself. To think...and to put myself back in order, thankfully I was able to keep myself in order once I got there.

[He finished with a laugh. He knew it had been nothing short of reckless...but it was something he had needed, and he was glad he's made the trip all the same.]

[spiria]

[ Kohaku had a feeling she was going to worry forever about this guy. The look on her face probably let him know that, too. She could understand needing some time to think, but ... the Skyway was dangerous. It was hardly the place to think about things! Not when something could have attacked him and hurt or killed him! ]

What did you have to think about? Can I ask that?

[windgod]

[Ippo knew that look well enough to know that Kohaku was currently scrutinizing him judiciously, and it was enough to make him rub the back of his head in sheepish embarrassment. She did pose a fair question however, and Ippo saw no reason not to give her a straight answer.]

Myself mostly, where I fit into things here and what steps I needed to take in order to move forward. I felt like I was stuck, and without anything to push me, I wasn't going to go anywhere. I could have probably played it better than going off on my own...but it was a fight that I needed to face on my own, if that makes any sense.

[spiria]

I can understand that. Sometimes you just have to work things out on your own. The Skyway is kind of a dangerous place to do it, though ... it's probably good that you can handle yourself well.

... You can, right?

[ He seemed to be okay ... well, not dead-okay. ]

[windgod]

Well...its been a few weeks since I set out so...if I couldn't handle myself I'd have been in some serious trouble.

[He's laughing on the outside, but if he could count the times he'd almost fallen over an edge out there...he'd probably need an extra pair of hands.]
