Who: captains and party crashers!
Broadcast: nup
Action: yes; tonight in the local dive Hange mentioned earlier. Get drunk! Play drunk games! Get to know each other! Mingle!
When: October 27th; late :}

[The bar Hange picked out is about typical for the planet: a little small, although big enough for the turnout Hange more or less expects, and clean albeit a little dingy and stained around the edges. At very least, all the stains have been scrubbed at thoroughly at some point in their history, and only the most stubborn and enterprising remain.

Stubborn and enterprising like the crew the bar will now entertain!

Captains, make your parent threads and tag around. Party crashers are also welcome.]

[Good lord, and look at her face. She actually looks happy to see him.]

Well, hello there! Henry, isn't it?

[ That's so kind of her.... ;; ]

Yes~ That's right!

[ He's got somewhat of a childish voice, high and lilting and definitely at odds with...most everything he says, really. ]

[She takes a moment to look him up and down, gauging his age and physique and general physical threat level. Curses, huh? Well, she'll believe it when she sees it... but she'd rather not see it.]

Well, I'm glad you made it! [She hops off her barstool and goes to shake his hand.]

[ Well, he doesn't look like he regularly beats people up, at the very least!

He'll shake her hand, enthusiastic. ]

Me too! I've never been invited anywhere before, ahaha!

Really? That's such a shame! [Shake shake shake, she has rough hands, fitting for a swordswoman.] Congratulations on your first invitation!

[ He probably holds on a bit longer than normal, unused to......uh, really any kind of human contact. ]

Thank you~ Oh! It's my first time coming somewhere like this, too!

Is that so? [Man, this is going to be interesting.] Hmmm. Have you tried alcohol before?

Not at all!

... Something tells me tonight could get a little wild.

Ahaha, sounds like fun!

[ If fun for everyone else involves probably having to pry an overly-clingy dark mage off of them then uh. Yeah, sure. ]

Let's get you started, anyway! [There's a first time for everyone drinking, after all!]

Bartender! Something for my friend here!

[ Yeah, and who cares that he's underage!

...okay, maybe not a good idea. ]

Wow~ There's a lot of different kinds!

It's all about the same taste, but what would you like?

[UNDERAGE SHMUNDERAGE if he's old enough to fight in a war he's old enough to drink]

Hmm...what did you have~?

Just on the rocks... but maybe you should try something a little softer, to start.

Eh~? Why?

It's not the smoothest drink I've ever had...

That's okay~

... You're a daring type, huh? Bartender! One on the rocks for my pal here!

[ Oh, this is going to go well.

At least he seems enthusiastic about this. ]

[A glass arrives for Henry, and a new one for Hange, the nightmare alcohol poured over ice. Hange takes her glass and grabs Henry's shoulder.]

Let's take a shot together!

[ Picking up his glass. ]

Okay, ready~

[She tosses it back! It has quite a kick to it. Poor Henry.]

[ Years of torture do not prepare a person for this.

Okay, maybe it's not that bad, but just give him a few seconds to stop coughing before he manages to look absolutely thrilled. ]

Ahaha, that surprised me!

[She whacks him on the back til he's done! Good drinking buddy Hange.]

You took it like a champ! Ready for another?
