(OPEN MINGLE) Ain't no party like an Aldrip party
Who: The Chosen
Where: Aldrip inn
What: Open mingle log (with mod approval)!
Warnings: Nothing major anticipated, other than light (underaged) drinking and comic mischief, but PM me if any warn-worthy things happen and I can update this space.
Feel free to use this log as a completely open mingle for all characters new and old! There will be a few prompts below the cut, but you're free mess around with them or come up with your own ideas for toplevels, and tag around as you please.
Nestled in the heart of the quaint town of Aldrip, the inn, formally known as The Inn, has housed the Chosen of Expiation since their initial arrival. In spite of the occasional influx of new Chosen, they've dedicatedly provided rooms, food and drink, and basic amenities without buckling—even during the food shortages and other issues that have plagued the town. Of course, the Chosen have been no slouches themselves, repaying the hospitality with mercenary work, hunting and fishing, cooking, completing odd jobs, and much more to help bolster the economy. Even those, er, less magnanimous sorts have benefitted from this give-and-take, although there are those that prefer their living space to be a bit more solitary (or perhaps cave-ier) that might not have noticed as much.
In the days to follow, most won't be able to recount exactly how The Party started. The true story is that one particular new arrival, after having spent a day or two scouting the area out and, deciding it's chill enough, opted to do what he does best: be a public menace. What is known is that rounds of drinks start getting ordered and handed out, and soon platters of cheese, fresh bread, and other victuals make the rounds as well, appearing on tables that quickly begin filling with people. Somehow, someway, local musicians are pulled in to play and given a striking, energetic setlist to set the tone. The word gets out—party at the inn!
And boom: just like that, it's a party, and everyone's invited.
Early on, the offerings are relatively meager. The inn's food stores aren't completely bottomless after the shortages, to say the least, and there are a sight more Chosen (and local residents who also join in on the fun) than there is free food to toss at them. The drinks range from milk, water and juice to scuzzy, pisswater beer, which is a bit more plentiful. As the tavern portion of the inn fills with people, the music relatively ambient so that you can still hear the people at the table next to you talking, others bring their own food and drink, adding to the options on offer.
Others bring things like cards to play with, or dice and coins to gamble with, and set up spaces at tables toward the back. There's even an amateur fortune teller, heavy emphasis on amateur. Maybe you've got some party games of your own in mind, or you're a natural-born performer and want to hit the stage. Maybe you'd rather just grab a pint and lurk in the corner doing some people-watching. Or maybe you're just hungry and want to stuff a bunch of cheese in your pockets for later. Either way, there's something here for everyone.
As evening wears on, the peaceful inn party blossoms into a proper block bash. Even if you're not the partygoing sort, it'd be a little difficult to ignore the sheer ruckus going on downstairs while you attempt to read quietly in your room. The music, chatter and laughter carries on down the street, attracting even more people. By this point, it seems as if the food and drinks have multiplied, thanks mostly in part to others showing up with their own offerings, Chosen and local alike. It's getting rowdy in a few places—the music's louder and livelier, people are dancing and singing, and the gambling/party games' stakes seem to just keep climbing higher and higher. It's a good time all around. If you're not the quiet, loner type, anyway.
Thinking of sitting this one out? Think again: somebody starts going around to all the rooms and knocking on the doors, calling out to come join the fun. By the time you get to the door, though, whoever's up here disturbing the peace is gone, but maybe you can track them down by their voice at some point and wring their neck later.
In addition to the escalating merriment, all this imbibing also has the added benefit of loosening a few lips. Now's your chance to pick up the latest Aldrip gossip! You might even hear tell of a few pesky monsters that need slaying, so if you want to jump on that bounty before anyone else gets to it, you better act quickly. (But maybe don't run out into the woods in the middle of the night to fight monsters while inebriated... or do, nobody's stopping you.)
Late into the night, the festivities are still going, and they're... messy. Fortunately the drinks and provisions seem to have run to the bottom of the barrel, so those that've been partying hard for hours are getting cut off whether they like it or not. The band's getting tired, the tempo of the music fluctuating. Some people might like to go to bed sometime soon, so maybe now it's time for the voices of reason to tell those still dancing on top of the tables to get down. And why is there a chicken in here? ...And oh no, somebody tell those guys to take that swordfight outside!! Yeeaaahh, maybe it's about time to shut this production down.
Or maybe not. Let the good times roll until the sun comes up! That's up to you.

(in the beginning) cw suicide ideation
he just catches the first bit of what he said, whining in agreement.)
Right!! I would give everything and anything!!
(oops.)
no subject
Now now, surely it can't be that bad.
[Or maybe it can be...? Color Kaeya curious. For what it's worth, he's more than happy to fetch more crappy beers for Dazai while he listens to him carry on.]
no subject
Ah, how disappointing, I for one second wholeheartedly believed we shared the same goal. I'm heartbroken.
(but, wow, hot man for the win! he's even bringing more alcohol!)
no subject
I'm afraid not, my friend. Death After Noon is a favorite drink of mine: one part sparkling champagne, one part dandelion wine. A glass of that would drown your woes far more effectively than this cheap beer.
[And that's why it's his favorite. Lonely motherfuckers unite.]
no subject
(if kaeya had been paying attention, he would have noticed that dazai's drank much more than just the beer - all smuggled from his own stash in his room.)
no subject
Oh dear, what a predicament... But if I had access to the spirits you do, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state, would I?
[Fess up, Dazai. Where'd you get that booze?]
no subject
(there's just a moment where he lets that in the air before he laughs, long fingers tapping the counter with a smile on his face.)
That would require me going to my room, you see.
no subject
And you'll escort me there, I presume? It would be awfully rude of me to traipse into your room unescorted.
no subject
(it is definitely a proposition, a hand falling onto the man's knee, interest shown in every curve. he won't bring someone to his and chuuya's bed, out of the single ounce of respect he has about whatever it is that they have going on, but going to kaeya's is not half bad.)
no subject
Have someone waiting for you back at yours?
[Again, not that he minds. Kaeya leans forward, tips his head so the ends of his hair frame his smile.]
So long as you hold up your end of the bargain, I don't see why not. We'll use my room.
theres some hoes in this house
(kinda? sorta? sometimes? he's just trying to navigate this as much as he can, while still retaining, well, himself. his own parchment had exactly this penchant to sleep with someone first, ask questions later as a crime, and here he is, learning absolutely nothing.
this man is awfully pretty, he has to note to himself, the hand on his knee moving to tuck some strands of hair behind kaeya's ear, a grin as fascinated as it can be fascinating.)
Tell me where you're at. I'll bring a few bottles.
(wap wap wap wap)
I'll be staying upstairs for the time being.
[Kaeya leans in to whisper his room number to Dazai... Oh, and one last thing.]
Don't keep me waiting. Punctuality is important, wouldn't you agree?
no subject
'no longer human' was quick, but perhaps kaeya could feel the cool wash encapsulating his abilities, and while dazai can't feel the other has one, it's not like he's able to control his own. activated at all times, it is.)
I'll find you in a bit.
(and with that, dazai stands, only to go to his own room to grab two bottles - hard liquor, and wine, and follow up on his promise, knocking on the other's room.)
