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

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?

I am. Still a little tired, but... I'm working on it.

It'll probably take some time for you to feel completely like yourself again, so just do what you can to take care of yourself in the meantime.

[ She does eye the glass of alcohol in his hand. ]

... Though the booze is probably not going to help much.

[ She isn't saying you shouldn't have it, she's just saying it probably won't help much with your current condition. ]

... It's probably not really going to affect me that much. I have... too much body weight for that.

[A serious case of 'I'm not fat I'm big-boned'.]

If you're sure about it.

[ It's not that she doesn't believe him, it's more that she just doesn't have the experience with alcohol that he probably does. Her first experience with it got her pretty drunk and the hangover the day after was nasty. ]

I'll be okay. How are you and N and Calem holding up?

N decided to stay home. I have no idea what Calem is up to. Everyone seems to be fine, though.

That's good.

[... He sighs a bit.]

I shouldn't... worry about Calem, but I... do. He... was the one who saved me. Who saved everyone. Though things went a little differently in his world...

It's understandable, to care for someone like that. He's important to you, right?

[ What was there not to understand about caring for someone who's important to you? ]

... Yes. I don't know how to... I'm still trying to be more honest about... relationships. About bonds. I feel like I'm learning things all over again.

Which isn't bad, but... still.

You'll learn. Sometimes caring about someone is really weird. I don't know how much N has told you about how things went between him and I back in our world, but it was amazing how much I worried about him when he took off ...

[ She actually had cried. She's not going to say that, though. ]

It's natural to worry about someone you care about, though.

[Shh. Crying is okay.]

... I'm sure he thought I shouldn't have cared about him at that point. We were on opposing sides for a long time.

... Love doesn't make sense, though. It's not like you could really help it, right?

[That. Reminds him.]

On a somewhat... related topic...

[How does he Dad hang on...]

If you and N ever decide that you want to... you know... make sure you've gotten some... protective items first.

[ Well she was going to say something about how much sense her and N's relationship didn't make, but that last comment stopped anything else from happening.

YEAH HER FACE IS SO RED RIGHT NOW.

DAD NO. ]

A-Ah-- ....

[ What does she even say to that? ]

... W-We ... haven't even talked about it yet. I don't even know if he knows what it is or how it works.

... I'd imagine he knows how it works on a biological level.

[He's not that dim. But still.]

I just... wanted to make sure. Just in case.

I ... don't know. Like I said, he and I have never actually talked about it. I figure we might eventually, but ...

[ She fidgets a little. ]

[He puts a hand on her head gently.]

I just want to make sure you're okay. Caring for baby Pokemon is hard enough.
