[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?

[Jay notices Tama looking around and decides a new approach is warranted.]

Do you have ... a guardian, darling?

[He's not going to tell an anklegator she's owned by someone.]

[individuates]

[That would be wise. She owns her Mama, not the other way around!]

[a soft snuff turning her head left and right and - there's Mama, over there, the redheaded boy at the far end of the bar, swinging his legs and people watching? That's him! You want to go, Jay? She scrambles behind him and gently nudges his feet and legs. Tama-chan will herd you over there so fast…]

[…she may also trip you in her haste, so you might want to watch out for that…]

[amourtician]

[Jay doesn't trip, luckily. He goes in the direction Tama wants him to go. He's picked up that arguing with anklegators is a bad idea.]

[individuates]

[she'll just prod you with her horn if you don't go where she wants. She has ways of convincing people]

[Kaoru can't resist laughing when he realises that Tama-chan has made a new friend and is bringing him over, hopping off his stool to say hi. Tama-chan does a quick lap around his legs and makes a little noise at him, somewhere between a bark and a gurgle. Look at this interesting man she found!]

I don't believe we've met before!

[amourtician]

[Jay smiles at Kaoru, rather drunkenly. He's had a lot of drinks.]

Hello, darling! Your, er ... friend was rather insistent we meet.

[individuates]

Was she? [leaning down to rub Tama-chan's horn gently. Yes, yes, all right. Good girl. Well done!] She gets a little excitable when she makes new friends. She must really like you. […though Tama-chan really likes everyone, but that doesn't make it any less of a compliment]

I'm Kaoru, by the way. [he always has this habit of getting so wrapped up in new meetings he forgets completely to introduce himself - he's trying to work on that!] Kaoru Hitachiin. And you are…?

[amourtician]

[Jay smiles and bows.]

Jay Zimin, darling! And, ah ... what is she? She's a very peculiar creature! In, ah. A good way, of course. [He hastens to add - he doesn't want Tama to bite him or, truth be told, to offend her.]

[individuates]

[a soft, curious, slightly confused noise in her throat - what's a "peculiar"? Is that good?]

She's an anklegator! I found her a few days after I arrived here, we found this farm on the Skyway and I ended up looking around with Seimei and Rin-chan. Her egg was hiding in the chicken coop.

[Tama-chan's not going to bite. She could probably take your hand off if she really wanted to, but she doesn't. It's not a good way to make new friends]

[amourtician]

[Jay cocks his head to one side.]

Anklegator? That's a new one, darling.

[individuates]

Yeah? For me too. It was understandable back when she was ankle-sized. But she's grown a bit since then - I have no idea how big she'll get, but Seimei said she'd turn out pretty huge...

[amourtician]

Oh. Oh dear.

[Jay looks down at Tama.]

Er. How huge is huge, darling?
