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.]

Not much history. Walls to keep the monsters out, right?

[he actually... sits up.]

I'm going to laugh if we're secretly from the same place. Different continents, or something.

[She stares at him... and then she abruptly barks out laughter loudly.]

Ha! That would be hilarious! Too bad we'd have no idea you were out there!

Oh yeah. Same here. The Capitol has only just figured out how to get an airship over the forest that separates my city from theirs. There's a whole half of the world that most people don't believe exists anymore.

[takes another... drink...] The irony would be palpable.

You have an airship? Is that what is sounds like? That's so lucky... we could do so much with aerial travel... I'd give my left arm for an airship...

[nodding, nodding...] Your whole left arm, or just part of it?

All of it! Haha! I can still plan without that!

[oh, drunken giggling.] I like your enthusiasm.

I like it too! I have much more fun this way. [She starts laughing too, because he is.]

Good. Keep it up. [ha ha the irony.] We may have a long journey ahead of us.

I expect so. [And she really needs to get home... she wishes her comrades were here, and at the same time she really doesn't. Eren and the scouts and new recruits have important work to do at home - which she will hopefully rejoin soon enough.

Cecil's assurances of timelines being safe or not.]

They all seem to be long ones.

Yes, well. It'd be a boring show if it was short.

[he streeeetches back, knocks back the rest of his drink, comes back coughing a little and wincing--] This stuff is really terrible.

It's almost impressive, isn't it? But at least it's free! [She lists back on her stool briefly, laughing, then leans forward again.] At least we aren't suffering food shortages.

I will agree with you there. [he holds up his... empty glass, perhaps for cheers?] I miss variety, but I'll take a dependable food source over the alternative.

[Obligingly, she clinks glasses - then tosses back the remainder of her terrible drink and slams it on the counter.]

Another, please! [Back to Robin -] There's food to be had. A sweet friend of mine offered to share some of her cooking. I personally think we can supplement with at least a little on-ship cultivation, that's a possibility.

Oh, absolutely. Eating that squishy stuff all the time... Gonna have some weird effects after a while.

[sweet, more booze for him!]

[Yeah she is DRINKING THIS SHIT she is UNSTOPPABLE.]

Well! They haven't forbidden anything to us. The brass, I mean. So we might as well see what we can get away with for making our lives easier.

Ah. Hrm. [a slight pause while he looks down at his drink and swirls it around...] I was going to make a cannibalism joke, and then I remembered that those are fucking terrible.

I'm curious now! Make the cannibalism joke!

Nah, nah. I was just gonna say that we could resort to cannibalism and take care of the people who don't pull their weight around here.

[he waves his hand...] Full of protein! Maybe it's good for ratings around here.

... I wonder if they would allow that...

[Yeah she's deeply considering the cannibalism thing now.]

No idea...

[it's okay, he kind of... wanders off too... what kind of people are in the audience, and would they dig cannibalism?]

... Not that I want to eat another person.

[She shakes herself.]

Know any good drinking games, Robin?

Haha, yes.

[cannibalism forgotten.]

You ever play Kings Cup? We need three more people and a deck of cards, though.

Never heard of it! What are the rules? [She's sure they can rope in three more people... and there must be a deck of cards around here somewhere, right?]

Well, okay, you put your deck of cards in the middle, and on your turn, you draw a card--and depending on what number gets pulled up you have to do something different. Like "two" is "you" means you get to pick who has to drink, "five" is "rhyme", which means you have to... uh, say a word and go in a circle until no one else can think of another word and then the loser drinks...

[he tries to think of any other example... but they seem to be slipping his mind...]

And then if you draw a king, you gotta dump your drink into a cup in the middle, no matter what it is. And the last person to draw a king has to chug the middle cup.
