destinystrings | A night of feasting and dancing

⊙

Who: Everyone (guests and non-guests alike)
Where: Geartopia
Summary: Party at the Thirsty Mare Tavern for booze and dancing and everyone's invited!
Warnings: Cowboys and Gears and Parties and Booze but mostly Booze
EVENT INFO: Read about it here if you're a new comer!

With the issue still unresolved as the days passed by, the Visitors and the Guests of Geartopia were reaching a peak as more of them appeared from the time rifts. Morale could plummet, but the mayoress would never allow that.

Thankfully, the city itself was hospitable and welcoming to all. The villagers that composed it were a colorful cast, after all. Perhaps drowning your sorrows in booze and a night of dancing would be helpful. Don't worry about the kids... well, there aren't any age limits here after all (...wait...)!

The Thirsty Mare was a large building that could hold the entire town if it needed to do so. Carved out of wood from the nearby forest with the permission of the Ancient Spirits, it rose above Geartopia like a protective beacon. It was a new building as well, no older than ten years, thus new even to the heroes who had come here before. A symbol of the growing economy and peace all around them, it was half town hall, half tavern.

At night? Definitely a tavern.

Cages of fireflies are hung up in the air, as pieces of moss and leaves are strung decoratively against the large heavy trees forming the building's skeleton. Lighting is provided with gas lamps hung around and a gigantic crystal chandelier in the middle.

To the left, a bar seats a few patrons who get tired of dancing, serving drinks for all. Don't worry; it's on the house tonight. At the far off of the hall, a giant table had been prepped with food: entire turkeys, beans (everyone loves beans here, it's quite magical), rye bread, corn, apple pie and sugar pie.

And the alcohol is definitely felt tonight, as the musicians (two wolves and what looks like a bear) settle in and begin playing. Most serious work could be held off until tomorrow, after all.

For now, have some fun! Try not to get drunk too much, the Cactus Juice here is pretty potent...

Sheesh. What do you have against drinking? It's not like it's against the law here.

[Spoil sport!!]

[Besides the obvious....?]

You're the one who agreed you'd get sick.

That's just if you drink irresponsibly. As long as you're careful, you should be fine!

It's your choice.

[Still, He expected someone... different, from everything he'd heard.]

[It helps that he hasn't quite turned into the Devil yet.]

Fine... I get it! I'll just keep drinking on my own, then.

Seriously though, even if it's a sip, why not try a little? At times like these, you just gotta learn to live it up!

No thanks.

[Blunt, outright refusal. Ouch.

Not that he thought getting buzzed in a strange world was a good idea anyway.]

[Ouch indeed.]

Fine, fine.

[A small pause. And then:]

I really don't get you.

Oh?

[Curiously said.]

What about me don't you get?

You're going out of your way to talk with me now, but not about anything in particular...

Was there something you wanted?

Just felt like making sure you weren't going to go doing something you/d regret. [A lie, but not really. He was fact checking.]

You're from Japan, right?

Edited 2013-10-18 07:53 (UTC)

Thanks... I think?

And yeah, I am. You too, right? With a name like Ayumu.

That's why I recognized your name.

[He rests his chin in the palm of one hand, giving Yaiba a pointed look.]

And you don't look 20.

So? "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" and all of that. There's no age limit here as far as I can tell!

And there's a reason that law exists where we come from.

[Blandly. A 16 year old can't handle alcohol as well as a full grown adult. It was common knowledge.]

At least now I know you're drinking water.

Sheesh, are you always this serious?

Are you always this self-indulgent?

[Yo, that's not answering his question...]

As long as it doesn't cause anyone problems, right?

I guess you're right.

[It's not like he had much to worry about with it, either.]

But, you know... If you're looking for other Japanese who could be getting into trouble, I'm not the only one around.

[Your focus on him is actually kind of suspicious.]

You helped me out earlier.

[Not.... entirely a lie, either.]

Doesn't it make sense I'd want to talk to you?

Don't tell me... I'm the only person who helped you out earlier?

[Such a cruel and unforgiving world this is...!]

[.....Yeah, outright lying here. But he's not mentioning Hizumi to this guy. Hizumi wouldn't even have been born by this age, anyway.]

In all that commotion? Yeah.

I guess I must have been lucky. You'd think someone like you would get more help, though...

[It must simply be his ~*charming personality*~ at work again.]

[Geez. Not everyone could have a magnetic personality....!]

Someone like me?

You're the one going around with a crutch. Obviously someone should help you out if you need it, right?
