[Day 230] We're still not dead! Time to get drunk until we are

[bastionpc]

Who: Georges, you, and so much alcohol
Open: Open
When: Day 230, from noon til night
Where: Inside and outside the Distillery
What: In which planning is attempted, an obnoxious amount of booze is shoved at everyone, and Georges needs help with some things
Format: Pick your poison
Warnings: Drunk shenanigans at some point, likely


So, in the morning, Georges makes sure to stop anyone before they can go out onto the Skyway or get a bite to eat, or basically attempt to carry on with their lives like normal. With the most recent near death experience, he seems to be aiming to be more insistently friendly, apparently.

"Hey there! I got everyone together for some drinks, well, last time since we all needed one after that and I figured why not do it again? Come over to the Distillery later today, and I'll have some things whipped up! Oh- and by the way. That Ura fella, Zulf, he wanted folks to meet up and try and figure a few things out, get a bit more organization 'round here I suppose. If you could pass this around, that'd be great!"

And, sure enough, at around noon-ish Georges has once again set up some things. There are tables just outside the distillery, the largest he could manage (which is just a couple pressed up against one another) done up specifically for anyone who wants to sit around and be responsible.

For those who don't care about or don't trust themselves with responsibility, there's a couple smaller tables scattered about both inside and outside. As usual, Georges is behind the bar with a row of bottles on display. Ask him about them, chat with one another, or just focus on getting utterly and completely smashed, do as you like.

Maybe if you're chatty enough, you might even get roped into something.

[croceamors]

So do you plan on giving sex ed classes, then?

[fuckthemancers]

...I know the feeling.

If it's any consolation... [He looks at the smoke twisting in the air, sighing out more of it.] People can be astonishingly forgiving, even when we say we don't deserve it.

[dontyoujustwish]

I don't know. Do you think anyone would show up to a class or would they just get more embarrassed collectively?

[dontyoujustwish]

Yes, alcohol has a tendency to lead to poor judgment and lack of coordination.

[dontyoujustwish]

Eventually you'll find out if he's the kind of person to do that or not.

[croceamors]

You'd have to use tact and persuasion to avoid the latter... But I wouldn't say it's impossible.

[doctor_dragoon]

It's no problem at all. It'll be nice to have the company.

[doctor_dragoon]

[It's actually pretty nice to have a patient willing to talk so openly about things. Yukio's usually not on this side of things, doing most of his doctoring in the field and leaving long term care to older, less active exorcists, but he's dealt with his fair share of reluctant patients before. Things go so much more smoothly this way.]

Definitely keep your physical activity limited, but I'm sure you know that already. Aside from that, if you start to feel ill or out of the ordinary in any way, try to get help immediately. Even if you don't think it's a big deal, I want you to treat every abnormality as if it is.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Welcome to the confused club. Yukio looks a little awkward before he flashes a smile. He's not used to this quick friendship stuff. Weird...

Nice, though.]

Even so, you didn't have to. I appreciate it.

[bastionpc]

Heh, "honored" is a pretty heavy word to use for something like this! Spirits have always been the grease that keeps the gears turning in Caelondia but it's not like brewsters are kings or anything.

We can start tomorrow, if you'd like, after everyone's had a chance to unwind a bit. Any of the spirits you're not familiar with?

[bastionpc]

[He rubs at the back of his head.]

To be honest? Not specifically! Anyone who would want to take the time to learn would be welcome. I know a lot of folks here like to take care of business on the Skyway, but I know there's plenty who stay behind as well. Maybe one of them.

I was hoping that, even if you'd rather not, maybe you'd have an idea of anyone who is? Or just spread the word around, that'd be fine too!

[bastionpc]

[Don't worry, he's a bartender. He's used to worse than just "not nice".]

I don't suppose you'd be interested in keeping an eye out for a few things out on the Skyway for me? I'm starting to run out of supplies for my spirits.

[wayofvoice]

[Due to so much time having been spent with Colin to begin with, Paarthurnax has a... slightly better idea of what is being talked about.]

Your synthetic intelligence seem as though it would be the best choice, then. As always, any help I can give is yours to take, Wahliikjun, even if it is only supplies to bring you.

[They both know the more... delicate areas past raw materials is something he can't quite help with.]

[freedom_engineer]

An SI, then. I'll also need to make a holo-projector, but I have a lot of the parts for that already. It's not too difficult.

[Colin thinks for a moment, then he shakes his head.]

And some shards, I think. Mostly... I'll need opinions when it's close to being done.

[He looks between Paar and Zuko.]

I'll need to make an avatar, a form for the program to take, that everyone will be comfortable with. Think it over. Traditionally, avatars of this nature are female, and typically associated with a divine entity of wisdom. Not always.

As I said, that comes later, when it's closer to completion. Give me two, three days at most, and you'll have your news and info dispenser.

[bedheadstyle]

I'm going to worry about you anyway, Takane.

[hellpyre]

Yes and no.

[Rin being cryptic. That's new.]

[fuckthemancers]

Well, if it's leaning more on yes, then it may be worth it to discuss the issue with that person themselves.

[individuates]

And here I thought you had some weird Dom thing going on when you talked about punishment.

[…disembowelment…? Really though…?]

Yeesh. You truly are medieval, aren't you?

[oursomalink]

Definitely!

[ Shing laughs, nodding in agreement as he takes his glass and clinks it against Kohaku's with a grin.

Then he's just going to lean in against her in a hug, sighing as he closes his eyes. ]

... though I know I already have a bright future as long as you're here with me. I've said it a lot, I know, but it really does bear repeating...

[amnesiadragon]

[Socialization is good for you, Yukio.]

Well I wanted to say hi anyway, and see how you were doing.

[gianthobo]

They seem to be important here - more than at home, at least. And kings aren't really as important as people make them out to be. It's the people who give them their power, and let themselves be leaded. And a king has to earn respect, rather than just get it automatically.

[Sorry, Georges, it's an important topic to him.]

I'm more familiar with the heavier flavors. The wine and bourbon and those sorts of flavors... my memory will have to be refreshed, I think.

[Not that it's a bad thing. There's not too much trouble he can get into here if he does drink too much.]

[daughterofursa]

[Please note the stunned look on Zuko's face when Colin says he needs to make an Avatar. It takes a few moments for her to process the rest of that and realize he must mean something very very different. What, she isn't sure, so she just looks confused again.]

I don't understand. You're... making a voice?

[dontyoujustwish]

[Hey, she could have gone into detail.]

It is when I was born. Unless that's another one of your metaphors.

[dontyoujustwish]

Why would I want to start using tact now?

[croceamors]

They'll just get more embarrassed if you continue to approach it bluntly, from what I can tell.
