[OPEN] it’s brash, just don’t go
WHO: Tezcatlipoca and YOU!!
WHAT: A night out at the city's worst bar—This is a mingle for everyone to join in on!
WHERE: 12 Steps Down
WHEN: Roughly a week after returning to the base
WARNINGS: Drinking, potentially heavy drinking, drinking-related rowdiness... etc
Tucked into an alley of Tokyo is an unassuming, almost nondescript door, if not for the bright, neon sign above it. It’s more than twelve steps, but head down a narrow staircase and you’ll find a small, dimly lit bar. The décor is eclectic to the point that it feels like a hodge-podge of the failed bars that came before it that they didn’t bother to redecorate, the bathroom stalls have shower curtains instead of doors, and the drinks are some of the cheapest you’ll find in town. And for most, that’s the charm.
( slightly more information here )
After a particularly difficult and unusual kaiju battle, Tezcatlipoca has taken it upon himself to offer a chance for rest. The problem is, it’s his idea of it for this group, which means he thinks his fellow Outsiders need a chance to let loose. So, after talking to the owner of the bar he’s worked at since he arrived, he’s arranged for a night all for themselves. Outsiders only, and the bar is open.
A message is sent out on the network to that effect and includes the address, but this is also an opportunity to make new friends, since it is not a big bar. There’s scarcely a corner for even the wallflowers to fade into the background, so, hey. Might as well hang out at a high-top with your fellow Outsiders and commiserate on the events. Or maybe just take a night to truly not think about it at all.
Throughout the night, you might find some extra activities, in case they’re needed. With every drink you try, you’ll get handed a raffle ticket for crapple—that is, a “crap raffle”. Try your luck and see what you could win! Are you interested in battleshots? Grab a partner (or get forced into it by Tezcatlipoca), and try and sink their battleship. Or, later in the night if you’re especially brave, Tezcatlipoca will shoo everyone out of a corner to set up karaoke. The lyrics show up on your implant, so it’s extra convenient!
Relax if you want. Get rowdy if you want. What happens here stays here, at least in Tezcatlipoca’s opinion.

12 STEPS DOWN
" Nobody really makes a clear-minded decision to visit 12 Steps Down. Instead, the place is a siren that calls to people after three to seven drinks, promising delight and delivering destruction. After a certain point in the night, if you are within a mile’s radius of the bar, you are in the danger zone. "

REST (?) & RELAXATION (???)

[ Sure, part of the reaction from others had been because it was Silco. His personality is an acquired taste, to put it lightly. But still! ]
So, yeah. That’s all there is to it. He got pissy about me sharing something reasonable at the time.
[ …And also. ]
So. What’s his favorite color?
no subject
[A shake of the head. Now, he's still pissed himself about the Tezca callout, but it seems the man got his own revenge. He's pleased with that. He won't add salt to the dish, so to speak.]
Why would I know?
no subject
Y'know. I'm startin' to see why the two of you get along.
[ You're both stubborn dickheads!! But Tezcatlipoca doesn't feel the need to say it. It's implied. He scoffs and waves his hand lightly. ]
And yeah, it's Silco, but you can be unpleasant and still get laid.
no subject
[#littlesilcothings]
Hm. If you're offering to take one for the team, Tezcatlipoca, be my guest.
[obviously a guy who keeps talking about a guy is getting some wants to fuck him. obviously]
no subject
See, you do get along, because you're the same kinda guys. He tried to brush me off in the same way when I was messin' with him.
[ And then also got mad about it later, which is part of why he got punched, but. Whatever. They made up. ]
And he stabbed you twice and you're still hangin' out with him, so I'd call that liking the guy.
SPITS
He's paying me well. I don't take jobs just because I like people. A job is a job.
no subject
[ Truly, the longer this conversation goes on, the more certain he is that Vergilius is Silco's secret flame. Also, he gets it. Ships it, even, ]
no subject
[he is
not saying that silco is donating this to the orphanage and not actually giving it to him, specifically]
1/2
no subject
Are you serious? That much???
[ Those multiple question marks are absolutely audible. ]
What the fuck. One, I didn't know he was that loaded, two, congrats on being his sugar baby or whatever the hell it's called. Damn. That's a good deal.
no subject
[oh his red eyes are BLAZING bright here this is absolutely a Very Bad Aura here]
Call me that again and I'll yank your spine out of your wretched mouth.
no subject
Ooh, touchy. Can't take a joke, can ya?
[ The "just like Silco" is implied ]
Relax, pal. Whatever your arrangement is, don't really care. I just had no idea he was raking in that kind of cash.
no subject
[He's going to grumble into his glass as he takes another swig, eyes still burning.]
Guess you don't know your acolyte all that well.
no subject
Not on that kinda stuff, nope! I let him do his business. Have his fun.
[ ...Okay. Maybe that's also teasing, but he means Silco's actual business in this case. Mostly. ]
But, hey. Thanks for lettin' me know. I'll have to shake him down for more loans and presents now for sure.
no subject
[More? He raises an eyebrow at that.]
What does he even give you?
no subject
[ verg is definitely not the sugar baby in this equation… ]
no subject
[sugar baby tezcatlipoca......]
How did you two even meet?
no subject
Ha. He murdered my brother.
[ Clearly, it's not something Tezcatlipoca has any problem with, though. He sounds approving, in fact. ]
Though, gotta ask, since he's real tight-lipped about stupid shit. He tell you anything about where we were before this? Kenos?
no subject
[Old Silco, out here cutting down the divine. He wonders why he doesn't do the same for blond and irritating over here.]
...Eh. A bit. Why?
no subject
[ That's Tezcatlipoca's takeaway, at least. There's more to it, technically, but. Not that much more... ]
But that's where Silco killed him is all. Convenient circumstances to be able to do it, since no offense to the guy, but wouldn't be possible for him anywhere else, I bet.
no subject
[Yeah, Silco never did really say TOO much about him and Tezca, actually.]
I did hear he had powers over there. Where you two came from.
no subject
[ He laughs, but waves a hand lightly. If Silco has mentioned Kenos, then Tezcatlipoca thinks it's fine to explain a little more. And if it's not, well. He'll get punched again. Who cares. ]
Nah, we were on the same side and I supported his crazy ambitions is more what it is. He wanted to start a new world, and I wanted to see that. More or less. We'll call that the short version, since it's not like it matters here.
[ He shrugs a little ]
But, yeah. He did have powers. Everyone there did. I assume that's part of why he's extra pissy here. Had plenty of power and status, all to return to being a regular guy.
