[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?

By being a Caelondian drink! It's part of the inspections they'd go through- they weren't allowed in the city unless they were useful beyond just getting you drunk after a point.

[individuating]

That sounds like bullshit.

[bastionpc]

You live with a giant dragon and you're trying to tell me that a drink can't be useful like that?

[He seems more amused than anything.]

[individuating]

A dragon makes more sense than magic booze. Are you sure that the miners and stuff just didn't get so drunk they started hallucinating things?

[bastionpc]

It's not magic. [But Georges doesn't exactly bother to give any explanation as to what it is.] Listen, how about I show you that it works? Just this once, I'll take a drink on the job so you can see for yourself.

[individuating]

Alright.

[And now he's looking at Georges expectantly.]

[bastionpc]

[Georges grabs the peculiar u-shaped bottle and a shot glass.]

Got any shards on you? I can tell you right now I don't- I never head out onto the Skyway.

[individuating]

Only a few. [He doesn't go out onto the Skyway either, so all he has is a small handful that doesn't even properly belong to him. He pulls them out now.]

[bastionpc]

That's all we need, then.

[The Fetching Fizz, true to its name, does indeed fizz when Georges pours it out into a little glass. He tilts his head back as he downs it in one. To his credit, he only wrinkles his nose a bit at that metallic aftertaste. Still gets him everytime....]

[And with that, he just sets the glass down and leans against the bar patiently.]

[It takes a minute or so before the shards in Hikaru's hand start to shift and move. So long as he doesn't grip tightly onto them or anything, they'll tug themselves off of his hand. There's no magical floating or anything- they'll just try to fall off of his hand and onto the ground or bar before continuing to Georges. It's almost like a magnetic attraction.]

[Georges will pick up any shardsthat make their way to him.]

See? Fetching Fizz, works like a charm.

[individuating]

[Oh wow okay that really does work. Hikaru watches in amazement as the shards fall off his hand, gravitating towards the barman. That shouldn't be possible, and yet here it is, happening right in front of his eyes.]

That's so weird.

[bastionpc]

See? [Georges puffs up in pride.] Never doubt a barkeep who's talking about his drinks. I know what I'm talking about, after all!

[individuating]

I guess you do.

[And now he's going to prod some more bottles.]

What happens if you mix a bunch together?

[bastionpc]

A bunch? I don't think anyone here could handle that kind of taste.

...I mean, maybe the dragon could, but I'm trying not to get him drunk.
