Caritas | Wednesday

Nathan was in a much better mood this week than he was last. That made him less likely to snap at Tino and meant Tino's mouth was safe from getting a rag stuffed into it. Nathan, instead, was feeling creative. He was not much of a mixed drinks guy, preferring to go for liquor straight from the bottle, so he decided to invent some things tonight.

Did butterscotch schnapps, sangria and bourbon go together? Probably not but that was Nathan's first creation and Tino was gonna be the test dummy if he got no other takers. Poor, poor Tino.

"I'll have a pint," Alistair asked of... one of the bartenders. The silent-looking bloke. He seemed nice.

Yes, he had a sword and a shield strapped to his back. No, he didn't think there was anything strange about that.

"Reenactment or fashion statement?" Guy asked. Which wasn't fair considering his hair for so many years was a goddamn bowl cut.

No room to judge anyone ever.

Except Kyle's stupid mask.

"...Sorry, what?" Alistair asked, quite sensibly. Did he have blood on him again? He hadn't been fighting anything recently...

"The outfit."

Bowl. Cut.

"Ah, would you like to know where to get one of your own?" Alistair snarked. "You 'Americans'," fingerquotes, yes, "...do look a bit underdressed for all these invasions I keep hearing about."

Guy raised an eyebrow at the suggestion that armor would help in an invasion. Because everyone he knew wore motherfucking spandex. "I think I'll manage fine without. Thanks."

"Ooohkay, it's your loss, then," Alistair said, taking a swig of his beer. "Unless this is one of those 'electricity' things I don't know about."

Buttons. So many buttons. He still wanted to press them alllll.

More like a bad ass power ring that didn't make people puke blood or flounce about in pink, talkin' about love.

"Nah, that'd be a taser then." Guy took a sip of his own beer before adding, "You don't want to get hit with one of those."

Alistair squinted at him, and leaned further over the bar. "I'll bite," he said. "What's a taser, then? Is that when someone throws a lamp at you?"

Re: The Bar [Caritas 07/06]

"...no," Guy replied slowly. "People throwing a lot of lamps at you here?"

"Noooooooooooo, but you never know when it's going to happen," Alistair provided. Seriously. Really. "There's so many of them just sitting around. Someone's going to get ideas, and then before you know it, blam! Lamp in your face."

He was just lucky Morrigan wasn't here to take that obvious insult.

"Yeah, but you generally gotta piss someone off first. People don't just smack you with a lamp."

Unless you fought crime. ALISTAIR. DID YOU FIGHT CRIME?

Not crime, just darkspawn!

"In-va-sions," Alistair said, "Which I'm told are not as bad as the Blight back home. But we don't have nearly as many lamps."

"Yeah, but an invasion usually means they have weapons with 'em," Guy countered. "Not like they're gonna show up to steal the lamps and hit you with 'em."

Unless it was a lamp invasion. God help them all.

"Depends," Alistair said, conspiratorally, and leaned forward, "On whether they've just lost their swords. Think of the insanity. So many buttons! So many things to throw. Where does an invader begin?"

Yes, Guy, he was joking with you. Seriously, now.

Guy stared at him for a moment before taking a longer sip of his beer. "I'm really not drunk enough to debate swords versus lamps in a fight."

There was a pause before he just had to ask: "What about invasions where they don't have thumbs? You know, not all the weird shit is human shaped."

Re: The Bar [Caritas 07/06]

[identity profile] badnewsandwit.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Is there something they can headbutt?" Alistair wondered. "Can they throw things with their mind? You don't need thumbs to cause a fuss, do you?"

"Yeah, that's just what we need here," Guy replied. "Freaky, lamp throwing telekinetic blobs."

"No one's actually gone into what invades here," Alistair said, sobering. In one way, anyway; in the other, he was pounding back some more beer. "So 'freaky, lamp-throwing telekinetic blobs' might be a very real option for all I know."

"A beer," Guy said, mildly concerned by the horrific attempt at a mixed drink going on behind the bar.
