[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

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. "

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 )



REST (?) & RELAXATION (???)


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.

Certainly! [He settles his forearms onto the counter and gets comfortable, taking Archery response as an invitation to continue bragging.]

Just as the bestial form of our dear friend and companion-in-arms was set to kill the team, just after downing several of our members despite retaining heavy wounds, and rose up and put down my blade.

We were friends, she and I. We shared many memories discussing literature and lore [like comics and information on figurine packages], and I knew that the sweet woman I once had known could not be completely gone. I spoke to her as a friend. I reminded her of her true else, and once she recalled that she is not monster, her kaiju form fell away, and she transformed into Ereshkigal, the lovelorn woman.

[Archer, in the meantime, just kind of... tuned out bits and pieces of the story. Lovelorn he says... Archer could see that and easily flustered when thinking back on her reactions to his words!

Yep, Ere-chan is truly the cutest.]


Haha! That must have been quite the fight, and a good deal of smooth talking on your part.

[Billy takes a sip of his coke, speaking as if he wasn't also there to see everything.]

You must be a really impressive fellow to pull that off on your own!

I'm rather persuasive when the moment arises.

[He's now 2 out of 2 for speeches about love and goodness working in his favor: one here and one back home. Maybe this was his true power all along.]

But I'm more than a skilled orator. I've done a bit of monster slaying in my past. Some demons, some pirates, it's all nothing, really. [Please tell him he's amazing.]
