Bar Crawlin'

[indy_wannabe]

It's Friday night and Ezreal decided to take the esteemed Luxanna Crownguard to a bar generally frequented by Delvers, Guardsmen, Rangers, and all sorts of other rough-and-tumble men and women who make up Union's thriving blue-collar community. The bar, of course, is quite a dive, with loud, boisterous people having just finished a day's work coming to take a load off and get frightfully hammered.

[This is an open mingle post for anybody who might, for whatever reason, find themselves in a dirty, grimy bar full of loud sweaty people on a Friday night. There will be mingling and, of course, the inevitable bar fight. Enlightened are encouraged to use their powers interestingly but remember - no lethal damage! It's all in good fun. Overenthusiastic enlightened may find themselves responsible for large chunks of the repair bill for the bar, be warned.

Also of note: legal drinking age is 18 years old but this bar is likely reasonably easy to get into if you're a bit underage.]

BAR FIGHT

[indy_wannabe]

Open! - Flirtation highly encouraged.

[for_realsies]

Imogen was no stranger to this bar. Mostly as it was one of the first places far from the grasp of nobility she found herself when she... went to find a way to be herself in this world. So she often found herself in the bar to take a load off, be loud, energetic, and just a little tipsy.

She did her best to keep herself from getting smashed, as she wanted to have fun, not get in too much trouble. Unless it was the right sort for her. But she's dressed in pinks and blues, with her hair up, and was spinning in a barstool as she waited for a drink... or someone to talk to!

Open!

[Oh, it's just a little bar, he said.

Nothing could possibly go wrong, he said.

You'll be fine, he said.

Suddenly she felt entirely out of her league.

On one hand, it was interesting seeing an entirely different crowd intermingling and having fun, but on the other, she felt like a Magikarp out of water. What was she even doing here? How did she even get in here, anyway? Ezreal must have worked some kind of magic, because there was no way that anyone would believe she was of age.

Still, she sat there, at a table, trying to make herself as small and unnoticed as possible. Because cute blond at a dive bar, that'll totally work, right?]

[indy_wannabe]

Oh come on you can at least try to socialize a bit!

[ladyofluminosity]

I'm waiting for an opening.

[indy_wannabe]

I can never figure out what you consider to be appropriate attire for any situation.

[indy_wannabe]

You don't wait for openings you go in and make them!

[for_realsies]

*She grins brightly.*

I just think what you'd wear, and do absolutely nothing like that!

[tagteams]

Do I even need to ask why you are here?

[Yes, she does hang out here sometimes for a drink and relax in the corner. Quinn isn't a big mingling type of person so loner life in the bar pretty much, but finding Lux here is certainly a surprise.]

open!

[tagteams]

[Every bar needs that one loner in the corner that wants to keep to themselves.

Really, Quinn recently got done with her Ranger work for the day and she's just doodling away in her usual journal with a drink by her side. Valor is there as usual to relax with her. There aren't really expecting any company or conversations, but they will talk if approached.]

Open! Flirts back to women, mouths off at men.

Despite being of age, Haruka isn't one for alcohol - a fancy glass of wine is pretty much her limit, and only on the swankiest occasions. She does, however, enjoy extremely strong tea. Tea strong enough to aim a Warp Band at and bond with.

What she's holding, however, is not that tea. Taking a sip, Haruka bites back a grimace and sends a carefully controlled glance about the room. Since she's only here to avoid rehearsal, she's doing her best to remain incognito....but the cut of her clothing and her general posture make her stick out. She looks like what she is: a "prince" who happens to be slumming it.

Oops. She opens her script. If she's going to be antisocial, she might as well read the blasted thing.

[ladyofluminosity]

[Get a drink in her and she might be more willing to be social.]

But I wouldn't even--

Fancy parties I can do. I have no idea what to even do in this situation.

[ladyofluminosity]

Quinn!

[Ohhhh no, she was busted now, wasn't she? Okay, it's cool, act cool. You're totally supposed to be here.]

No, of course not! I come here all the time!

[Camille, rocking her new evolved look, gives her a "really?" look. Was that the best you could come up with? A smart girl like you, and you can't come up with a good lie? Hopeless.]

[indy_wannabe]

Which I guess explains the peacock attire when we're going into caves filled with dangerous Pokemon.

[indy_wannabe]

Drink stuff, talk to people. Pretty simple.

[ladyofluminosity]

No! It's one thing to be here when I really shouldn't be, but to drink--

[Not gonna drink, huh? Even when the bartender brings you something from someone else? Apparently someone else thinks she needs to loosen up a bit.

Wait, what, noooo, why was this--nooooo. She looks around. Who did the thing? Who was it?]

[for_realsies]

A peacock outfit! That's something I haven't done.

*You're making it so much better by complaining.*

And most of the Pokemon aren't dangerous for me, maybe you need to train more. Or work on your communication skills.

*Imogen picks her outfits very carefully... then puts on whatever, but usually it makes Pokemon see her as less of a threat. Usually.*

Open... to Pokémon and those who can speak to them!

Eren was stiff as they came. But Victor, Victor liked to have a good time. He was a fun loving Pokémon. And on a Friday night, he wanted to have some fun. Especially since Eren was dragging him out on some Ranger mission tomorrow. The good thing about bars (and, well, almost every business in Union) is that they also served Pokémon.

The lombre is dressed in one of his favorite vests, trimmed with fur. He hops up to the bar and catches the attention of the Shuckle running the bar.

{Berry juice with lime, s'il vous plaît.}

[ladyofluminosity]

This place really wasn't her style, and Camille had grown tired with playing babysitter to her human partner. Everyone here was dirty and smelled, the conversation was crass and uninteresting, and, really, all she wanted was to curl up and go to bed.

But look, there was someone at least somewhat aware of today's fashion. Tilting her head just slightly, the Dragonair slinked over to the bar.

[Tanga bellini.]

[stahlflugel]

It sure wasn't a glamorous place, but the berry juice was some of the best in town, and at the right price. It was also a good place to pick up on Ranger gossip, which was all the more important now that he and his human were members. Well. Assuming they passed training. But Victor was sure they would be just fine.

He looks at the dragonair out of the corner of his eye, offering a small smile.

{Well, aren't you a diamond in the rough here. I didn't expect to see anyone so stunning in this place.}

[tagteams]

Yeah... Sorry Lux, I'm not gonna buy that.

[You poor young lady in a crowd of a bunch of lower to middle class workers just taking the daily load off. She's takes a seat next to her friend(?) before some drunk starts to come over and start flirting with them.]

Just to clarify, did you come here on your own free will?

Open! Flirt, Mingle, Berate - all good.

[Ky was back on the job, but techincally off-duty right now. This usually isn't his kind of place, but Jacob was insistent on investigating, and he decided to humor his pokemon.

He could feel a few eyes glaring at him as he finds an isolated table. Ky decided to take whatever the bartender recommended. The man takes a swig - and chokes, pounding his chest at the sudden burn - getting laughter in response while Isaac let out a concerned bleat]

Before he could do anything, Jacob suddenly grabs the mug and takes a swig]

Wait! Don't -

Saur!

[It immediately tosses the mug away in disgust, not paying attention to where it's aiming at - hopefully it didn't hit anyone.]

[bejustorbedead]

[After making a pest of himself, Jacob wandered away from his trainer, with a vexed Flaaffy trailing behind]

{Ah, so there's the stuff that doesn't taste like burning!}

[The Bulbasaur waves at the Shuckle, before rubbing it's chin, considering what's on tap]

[tinytactician]

Is this the Pokemon-with-underage-human-partner's corner? Because newly-evolved Meredith is here, unable to resist patting Victor's fur trim.

/How nice./
