Raise a Glass [OPEN]

[lordshield]

Who: The XV Cast and You!
When: June 6th
Where: Curti Center, Jiminy's Juicery (bar)
What: After saving innocents from the Dream Width, some people just need a drink.
Warnings/Notes: Alcohol consumption, possible violence, whatever people do in bars.

Their first foray into the search and rescue business in the Dream Width had been intense, to say the least. Stressful, heartbreaking, exhausting, and enlightening were other words some might use to describe the experience. After a night of rest and a day to somewhat sort things and people out, the next evening brings about a mighty need to head to the local tavern. Some drink to forget, some drink to remember, some drink to relax. There are even representatives of the Bard's Guild providing live music. You can try to make a request, but chances are they don't know your foreign songs.

Maybe you were invited by one of the excitable young men from Lucis, or maybe you came on your own. There's enough room in the bar for quite a few people, so long as they're of age. Sit right at the bar, or pull up chairs around a table, the choice is yours.

[OoC: Make your own toplevel or tag around. Please put content warnings as necessary. Have fun!]

[Well, if Ignis had ever wondered why Ravus was always so bitter and angry, he has now unearthed the answer. Even if Ignis is too far in his cups to take what Ravus says to heart, Ravus will say his piece, because he's struggled with the same questions for years.]

The gods play with us like chess pawns. But your knowing means your king does not bear the weight of that knowledge alone. If sharing in that pain eases the chosen's burden even a fraction, you must bear it for his sake.

[Ravus hates it, but that is the truth of what he has learned from Lunafreya and his mother.]

[Initially, Ignis didn't think he had much in common with Ravus, aside from the part that they wanted to protect people they care about. But, once he's a bit soberer, the fact that they are not all that different might settle in with Ignis properly.

In any case, he seems a bit calmer right now, despite the burning glare the glass is receiving from him. There's a passing thought that he shouldn't drink anymore.]

For all the mercy they promise, they are quite shitty at showing it.

[Ignis shakes his head and takes a deep breath.]

Apologies... I had one too many and should probably head back home.

[Ravus raises his glass to that. Fuck the Astrals and the star they rode in on.]

You've no cause to apologize to me. Go if you wish.

[At a glance, Ignis still seems shaken. Ravus nods in his direction.]

Take care on your way home.
