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!]

Thousands of years. He tries to wrap his head around that and the sheer mass involved in carrying a mountain. Even sober he'd have been doing the math for more than a minute. "It is a little weird how everything seems to happen just when you show up, doesn't it? It's like that for us too. Maybe that's a constant in every universe. Its defenders have to deal with problems?" He sounds skeptical.

"Or maybe I'm too drunk to even get philosophical. It certainly feels a bit tiring how often things go to shit. But we see more than anyone else ever has." But from the look on his face...he has to wonder at the cost to that.

Ignis chuckles:"This defender would like one night of calm sleep. Maybe someone to make him breakfast and coffee. Take a day off... but I suppose when you're defending the entire star, you can't take a day off huh?"

They both are too drunk to get too deep into this. Ignis is basically just throwing out the first thing that comes to his mind. "Hmmm... I'd like the world to pause for a moment. Wouldn't that be great?"

He can’t help it. He laughs and it comes out faintly bitter. “Oh, that would be amazing. Just five maybe ten minutes of a pause on everything?” Ten minutes to breathe. To process. To do something other than constantly move. He wouldn’t exchange this life for anything. Being a Paladin is fulfilling and gives him purpose.

“This place feels like that pause. Well,” He takes a swig of water and starts at the ice in the glass. “It did...But there’s more to do.” Again. He shakes his head and grins but it looks tired. “Can’t even take a day off saving the universe either. Not unless you literally can’t do anything else. But sometimes you do have to step away for a while. Take a mental break.” No matter how frustrating something is.

“Can’t always do that. But imagining it helps a little, right?”
