[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.

... y'just don't seem like the touchy-feely type.

[daughterofursa]

That doesn't mean I mind.

[In fact she has been known to initiate hugs on occasion.]

[hellpyre]

... really?

[daughterofursa]

Really.

I mean, it's not like people want to hug me that often anyway.

[hellpyre]

[Well, how about a hug right now?]

[daughterofursa]

[Oh, right.

Zuko's a little slow and awkward about it, but she does manage to return the hug.]

[hellpyre]

[Hugs are good. Even awkward ones.]

Thanks...

[daughterofursa]

You're gonna be fine. All right?

[hellpyre]

Y-yeah...

[Sorry about your shirt getting slightly damp, Zuko.]

[daughterofursa]

[Oh no. Toph was completely right, she really does make people cry.

...

No, this is probably not her fault. Rin's just still upset about maybe becoming a mother. What would her uncle say?]

You know... Sometimes things that happen are like rockslides. They make the road ahead impassable, but when you take the detour, you might find out it's the better path.

[hellpyre]

[It's okay, Zuko. Some people are just good at that.

--er no, its not your fault. She really is just that upset.]

... so havin' a kid is the better path?

[daughterofursa]

I don't know. It might be.

I imagine... it could be very fulfilling.

[hellpyre]

I really don't think I'm mom material, though. I mean... yeah, Dad was pretty awesome but there's no way I'd be able to be like him.

[daughterofursa]

...but do you want to be a mother?

[hellpyre]

I'unno. I kinda did when I was younger, but after I found out what I really was...

[The idea started to sound more like a curse than a blessing to whoever she wound up with, and whatever child was birthed by her.]

[daughterofursa]

I didn't ask if you thought it was a good idea.

[hellpyre]

Ain't that the point? Wantin' it or not, don't make it a good idea to go jumping face first in to.

[daughterofursa]

No, but if you want something, you're going to keep trying at it.

It's the people who don't want to be parents that make terrible ones.

[hellpyre]

I know. I just--...

[She wasn't sure anymore, but she wished she was so it would make all of this a little bit easier.]

[daughterofursa]

... I'd be lying if I thought I'd be great at it myself. But I've got two good examples, and one of what never to do to a kid, ever.

So I think I'll do all right, one day.

[hellpyre]

All I ever had was Dad... not that he was bad at bein' a parent but I know for a long time he didn't really know what he was doin'. Us bein' adopted an' all...

[daughterofursa]

Nobody starts off perfect at it, right? Even my uncle. He never had a daughter, so he had some pretty stupid ideas at first about what I'd be like.

[hellpyre]

... like what?

[daughterofursa]

I guess he thought a girl would be more delicate, that I couldn't handle everything that had happened.

[hellpyre]

Well that's dumb.
