X and Y walk into a bar

OVER A DRINK

01. Post with your character. 02. You're at a bar. What kind of bar? Any kind you want. From fantasy taverns where various species mingle to futuristic space bars where half the drinks will probably kill you, or even an an overly kistch themed place where everything is overpriced, it's all good as long as there are drinks and company. 03. Respond to other characters. Perhaps you want to buy them a drink. Or perhaps you're inclined to be bought a drink. Maybe you saw someone you knew, or maybe you just want someone to talk to. Could be there's nowhere else to sit, and could be you want to drag them out to dance.  04. Get drunk. Or don't! Be the guest, or the bartender, or the newcommer, or even the janitor. Mingle, make friends, or lurk in a corner.  05. They say alcohol lowers one's inhibitions. Might just be time to find out how much.

Hakkyuu spends most of his off-the-clock time socalising in bars and that's quite intentional, especially when he's new to somewhere; bars are some of the best ways to pass time if you like people (which he does) and gather information if you're lacking in some (which in many ways he is).

He tends to select his drinking buddies through relatively arbitrary means, letting himself be guided by more of a feeling than anything more--a feeling someone will have interesting stories, a feeling someone will be prickly, a feeling someone will find their way into his bed at the end of it. It can be one feeling or several overlapping ones, but the point is he doesn't waste too terribly much time agonising over selection because that eats into precious drinking and talking time.

So when he selects Bucky through a selection that is very little more than a sense of eh, he's got a story written all over him, Hakkyuu strides forward to the bar and fluidly finds his way to the seat at Bucky's left without greeting or waiting for an invitation. That, at least, is not an attitude Hakkyuu presents exclusively for Bucky or anything, it's just how he is in most spaces--for someone whose stature is on the shorter side for the average man, Hakkyuu tends to have an impressive way of changing the air in virtually any space he walks into if he puts his mind to it.

He flags the bartender with a well-practiced eye and an upward flick of his wrist (at least the etiquette to getting served is pretty consistent across worlds) before canting his head in his newly appointed drinking buddy's direction.

"So what's your poison there, pal?"

[ Milk? In a bar? How strange! Strange enough to compel Wei Wuxian to plant himself in the next seat and comment, albeit in a friendly manner. ]

You remind of someone I know who doesn't like to drink liquor.

[ He doesn't drink (he's editorially mandated to be allowed to and he's a nerd) but that hasn't stopped him being several people's official drinking buddy. ]

"And here we are," Elrond sets their drinks down before claiming the seat beside Thranduil. The Elven king rarely leaves his forest, so for this, he's chosen a more private room to just let recent events sink in.

Sauron is defeated. Middle-Earth can now begin to heal.

There is music just outside, filtering in but the entertainers are out of sight.

[aka that extremely loud and colorful person asking the bartender to surprise him with interesting liquors.]

[diabolique]

[ Excuse this necromancer for sliding into the next seat over. Loud and colourful (though usually it's strictly metaphorically) people are just the sort Wei Wuxian enjoys spending time with. ]

I'll have what they're having.

Esther Moreau | OC | OTA

[57times]

[ Most likely there after a job well done; because nothing marks success in life like drinking whiskey alone. Is more likely to be friendly if she knows the other person, but first time meetings are fine by me too! She'll just be a little more...prickly, is all. ]

[thrucenturies]

[Fancy a drink? Alec can be there with her, run into her, or be her bartender.]

[ The bar has been pretty quiet tonight, and Tifa's mostly just been polishing the glassware and humming along to the radio. She looks over as the door swings open, offering a smile and setting down a glass as he makes his way over to the bar. ]

What'll it be?

[fumitory]

( please find this man in a hidden bar or club for supernatural beings, clearly waiting for someone -- perhaps your character? possibly not? angels, demons, cryptids, uncanny folk in general -- or fellow humans, all welcome. don't worry, he isn't as much of a grandpa as he dresses -- he's drinking whiskey, three ice cubes. (ship pref is m/m.) )

[mortalpunishment]

[Have a green-haired guy dressed in the robes of a priest seated nearby and clearly well into his journey towards inebriation. He raises a glass of wine to everyone and no one in particular. It's been a rough day, y'see, and he's looking for some mundane conversation]

Leo De Luca | OC | OTA

[lupo_mannaro]

[ Drinking soda, probably. ]

Cannot get drunk. Ever.]
