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?

…it's actually statistically proven to make people want to stay away from you, and thus, prevent you from getting the sex you claim that you regularly get.

The giant was right. You people really are afraid of sex, aren't you?

Not so much afraid as selective when it comes to sharing it - it's not exactly an "I enjoy my private parts and I think everyone else should be enjoying them too" sort of a deal.

As I say, you'll find the majority of people are of the same mind.

I'm not saying everyone should go around sleeping with everyone, but if you do find a person you want to smoosh with, are you going to keep it to yourself?

[all right, he can't help a small chuckle at her choice of words]

…that depends on the person I'm doing the smooshing with. If they were okay with my broadcasting it to the general population, I guess I would, if either of us were that kind of a person.

[Anya's word choice is flawless.]

Then what is so strange about me doing it?

[flails his arms uselessly for a moment. All right, you got him.]

…but a lot of people would think you're only saying it because you think you have something to prove. Isn't it nicer to just… glow privately over it?

[this is actually a genuine question, though he suspects that this too varies from person to person. He has not yet smooshed the person he wants to smoosh yet. Perhaps he will feel differently after the smooshing has happened…]

Public or private, I will glow about it wherever I damn well please. It's my glowing.

[Whatever that even means really. Will there be glowing with Saix's moon powers? That could be interesting.]

[another soft chuckle]

All right, all right. I guess you kind of convinced me.

But you're still not getting your shoes back.

Yes, I am. They don't belong to you.

Just because I'm starting to like you, doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the fact that you waived that right when you threw them.

They were a gift, and you can't just go around taking back gifts.
