Day 0 - Drinks Are On Me (Expecting)

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"...Hey I am not that drunk. This is straight wisdom. If anything, I bet you're too drunk to understand what I'm saying."
May nods to herself as she sways slightly. Yeah, that seemed it.
"That garrote is neat though, makes you stand out a bit. I can dig that. I would absolutely show you my scattergun now but I am waaaaay too plastered to safely be showing that thing around."
She leans in conspiratorially.
"It is so neat though, someone tells me I'm too small and not-intimidating and-"
She vigorously mimes working the slide action.
-Cha-chunk! They go quiet straight away. Love that gun, wildly impractical."

She pauses for a moment as her eyes narrow.
"Wait, what were we talking about?

[Varina Ordo]

"Dude, whatever," Varina said, massaging her forehead. "You'll get over it."

That scatter gun had caught her interest, even if it was completely ridiculous when she could just, well, blast someone the good old fashioned way. But as it were, Varina was the one who charged out with a weird, stabbing implement instead of a traditional sword or a giant hammer.

" I dunno, you just started talking about my stuff. Maybe that's connected to how we have a lot of people to kill."

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"Right, yeah right! All the people we have to kill...aaaaand I'm depressed again."
May's forehead whacks into the bar with a 'thunk' as she groans."
"Uggggh, that whole thing. Okay, new topic. Something to lighten things up." She looks around the bar for a moment. "More booze?"

[Varina Ordo]

Varina added her own thunk on the bar, but hers was her hand. "Stop moping around! Act like an adult or... Something! Gosh!" Her hand clenched, partially cause slamming it had actually hurt. "Just do it!" Killing was easy. Killing needed to be done.

The mention of more booze only added more to her sullen mood. "Whatever. Fine."

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"I'm definitely acting like an adult, I'm all saying we need to worry about things and stuff. That's what being an adult is, worrying about stuff. Everyone always says 'just do it' but then they always complain when you do things without asking anyone. Can't have it both ways! Getting complained at is also very adult."

She stands with only a brief pause and a deep breath to steading herself before diving over the bar and awkwardly rummaging around upside down as she peered into the dark and rarely used storage underneath.

Slightly muffled. "Okay, there's actual rum under here, that is wild. You want some rum?"

[Varina Ordo]

"Okay, yeah, adults... Think a lot." Varina furrowed her brow and considered how much ale she had already drank. It hadn't been that much and yet she was so darn confused. "What?"

The apparent surprise over rum only made it worse. "Uh... Sure?" She scratched the back of her head. Maybe they'd need a medic soon or someone who could give a good massage.

There's the sound of bottles clinking before May allows herself to slide to the ground in the heap before bounding up before the bar with a flushed look. "I'm alright! Do that all the time when I'm sober as well."
She grins before uncorking the dark bottle and taking a whiff that makes her blink and lean back slightly.
"Fwoah, that's got some bite, whatever it is." She pours herself a liberal amount, and Varina as well if not stopped.

"Rum's great since it's made from sugar, so it's...you know, natural. And people like sugar, right? If someone says you need to be sweeter you can always hit them with a rum bottle. That's a fact."
May takes a deep sip. "Yeah, that's the stuff, I think, maybe it's a bit off, dunno. What do you make of it?"

[Varina Ordo]

"Uhuh," Varina said, making no effort to help in any way. That included not pushing her mug over for another refill. In fact, using that would involve mixing it with the ale taste left in there.

Though she did perk up at the explanation on rum. "Huh? Sugar? How does that even work?"

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

Snip

There is a terrible rum and ale mixing.
"It's super easy, so you get sugar and molasses and you dissolve them in hot water, right? Add in some yeast, wait a few days and then distill it and bang!"
Mayrelli slams her cup down on the bar.
"Rum! Haven't you ever made your own booze before? Seems right up your alley."

[Varina Ordo]

Varina pressed her lips together instead of asking what molasses were. It sounded kind of complicated but she would never admit that out loud. "Oh, yeah, I guess all alcohol is like... aged stuff, isn't it?" She shook her head. "Naw, it's all a bit more complicated when I could just take it or I'm too much on the road, so to speak."

[Mayrelli Fayedd]

"Stealing is bad, mmkay?"
Not that Mayrelli seems to put much emphasis on that.
"But I reckon that's why we're Mandalorians, right? 'Cause we want to build something instead of just taking stuff on the road, all the time. We're Rebuilders, not Repossessors."
She looks very proud of her wordplay as she takes another deep drink of the awful rum.

[Varina Ordo]

"Not every Mandalorian is into that sort of thing," Varina said, shrugging. "It's why we're so good at killing, especially each other. Well, except Satine's peeps, but we all saw how that worked out for them."
