Raise a Glass [OPEN]

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!]

No, he should drink more often, because he makes a good conversation partner. And an interesting opponent at alcoholic darts, so there's that, too.

"Right, right...I don't have any technique, so I'm gonna go with 'no'." That probably made sense in a roundabout way, but even if it didn't, he's leaning over to grab the offered dart anyway. How far would Ignis take the joke if he asked for a tutorial? He's not going to ask, biting his tongue and steering the conversation in a less flirty direction.

This throw scores a 60, and it's when he's retrieved the dart and about to hand it to Ignis that he suddenly remembers:

"Y'know...I don't think I ever got your name."

As long as those darts are hitting the target and Ignis doesn't aim them at some annoying asshole, yes. It's fun.

"You are not selling yourself well," Ignis says with a laugh. Usually, people try to get themselves in the best possible light, right? If asked for a tutorial... well, Ignis will think the guy is messing with him. People don't end up kissing strangers on the first day/night?

Right?

"True. Where are our manners? I'm Ignis Scientia. And you?" He accepts the darts and shifts back, taking aim at the dartboard. And that's a 9.

...another shot, huh?

you don't have to respond to this if you don't want to

"I've...been told that a couple times."

By various people, so he's accepted it as truth by now.

"Me?" It's a stupid question, but at least he doesn't pause for Ignis to answer. "Gi--uh, Guido. Cyneward."

Ignis might not be attractive enough to try to kiss on a first meeting, but he's good enough for a Full Given Name introduction. And Ignis has taken his shot, so it's Gi's turn with the dart.

After a few seconds of peering at the dartboard, he throws...and completely flubs the shot, hitting the board sideways with the dart and having to go retrieve it with a mumbled swear. The next throw is better, though it's slightly crooked in the board and has scored an 11.
