Bar Crawl [OPEN]

[likemybooks]

WHO: Adult Outsiders
WHAT: Post-battle night of drinking and antics
WHERE: Neo Tokyo night life
WHEN: Early March
WARNINGS: Alcohol, possible sexual themes

[The day before the event, Taryon posts to the network:]

Tomorrow evening, we're going out to explore as many bars in the city as possible! I'm told this is a common way to celebrate with friends, so why not spend a few hours having fun?

Let's meet up in the common area at 5pm and head out to town together.

No underage drinkers allowed, I'm afraid.

[At the designated time, and after waiting for any stragglers, the group stops by the nearby bars for a few minutes - the first spots are tamer and tend to have quiet conversation. This is just the warmup. As the night goes on, they venture out towards less well-known watering holes, sometimes splitting off to try out crazier locations. Eventually, with the overall level self-control dropping to near-zero levels, there's a chance that they find themselves in bizarre situations, and are they even in a bar this time?]

((OOC: This is a general mingle for folks to get some drunk shenanigans going on! How are they exploring Neo Tokyo's night life? What new bonds will they form? Feel free to tag around or join multi-person threads.))

Meeting Up

[The style upgrade makes getting dressed so much easier, but the limitless possibilities adds time to Taryon's preparations when he has to adjust that jacket a bit more, or try a different shirt color, or completely change his outfit to match with this model's...he ends up trying out a faux-leather jacket over a dress shirt, dark blue pants, and boots that match the jacket.

That doesn't mean he's continuing to swap things out while he shaves and styles his hair.

He makes sure to get to the common area and drop on the couch before five. As people wander in, he gives them a wave.] Ready to go?

Early in the Night

[Taryon is on his best behavior for the first few stops.

At least as good as he can be. He's still in "etiquette lessons for rich, medieval families" mode for the first bar and tends to shout out his orders for wine.] Your best wine. I have a nose for the good stuff!

[Someone convince him to try something else for once.]

Later

[It's difficult to tell when Taryon stars getting tipsy. He's smiling and friendly all evening, but at some point, his behavior has gotten more physically affectionate. His carefully combed hair is falling apart, and he has forgotten to put it back into place.

As he's walking to the next bar, he slings an arm around someone's shoulder and leans his head against them.]

[ In the end, it doesn't take much convincing to get Shion to come along. He's never been a particularly frequent drinker, he's spent enough time around bad examples to avoid that urge, but he doesn't mind it either. And he can hold his alcohol well enough, which means all he really has to do is go and enjoy the company.

And he does, for a while, readily making easy conversation with anyone who lingers nearby, regardless of whether they're fellow outsiders or not. He lets himself try new things, and be bought drinks, and generally have a pleasant evening.

The trouble is that for all that he can hold his alcohol, he's used to a very specific type. As more and more drinks are passed to him, things he couldn't name and tastes he couldn't describe if he tried, things start to get a little...fuzzy. His perception doesn't shift, exactly, but the sounds of the current bar he's found himself in start to take on a strange wavy quality, sometimes loud and sometimes almost inaudible. But it's not until he goes to reach for his glass and finds his hand closing on air a good few inches away that he really starts to suspect something is up. ]

I think, [ he says very carefully with the air of a grand pronouncement, ]that I might be a bit drunk. [ It does not, however, stop him from trying to grab the glass again.

And missing. Again. ]
