EVENT: Birthday Party

[1000_npcs]

The tavern is curiously more crowded than usual tonight. Perhaps it's the recent influx of travelers who have decided to stay at Budehuc, or the fact that it's a certain squire's birthday, but the barkeep hasn't seen such a big crowd since the days of Nadir's plays. Drowned out by the drunken men's laughter and absurd stories, a small band of musicians can also be heard playing near the stage.

[ A regular face here, he ceremoniously makes his entrance as if he's back in Caleria, although he normally looks cooler with an entourage behind him. ]

AH! Nothing like washing down a curry dinner than with a nice cold beverage.

[ When he reaches the bar table, he looks towards the barkeep and raises one hand while slamming the table with his other. ]

Barkeep!! The usual!

[cray]

[He was already at the bar, drinking something. He needed an excuse to get wasted, here it was.]

Heyyy, Duke, how goes?

[latkje]

[ Nash walks up behind the barkeep and leans in close, ordering something ordinary. Then he turns to Duke. ]

Do you ever worry about becoming predictable?

[novilunium]

[ She pulls somewhat of a face at his barbaric behaviour, waiting for her own drink at the bar. ]

[cooking_squire]

Really now. [is slightly flustered about the attention]

This wasn't really nessacery. [but is obviously pleased]

[esteems]

[ Doesn't have the heart to tell poor Louis that not everyone here is for his celebration, SO SAYS NOTHING. ]

You've never been in the tavern at this hour, have you, Louis?

[charming_chiketsu]

Ah, young Louis. I should have guessed you were here with Lady Chris, but I must have missed you ealier. How absent-minded of me!

[armis]

[ Borus comes over, a bottle of wine in one hand and as many wine glasses as he can carry in the other. He sets it all down in front of Louis! ]

Not little for much longer, are you, Little Louis?

[miss_matchmaker]

[ Moana can be seen walking away from the bartender, holding a glass of orange juice with a straw in it. ]

What did he mean I'm too young? I'm over 25..!

[ ...Drinks her orange juice anyway, it's actually yummy! ]

[innkeeper_erin]

*waving to Moana from her chair, smiling*

Hey, Moana!

[flamesandfeathers]

They won't let you drink either? Save the continent once and you're still not allowed to have even one alcoholic drink.

[charming_chiketsu]

What a lively crowd tonight. ♥

[duke_of_hazard]

Hah! Maybe they're all here to see you!

[flowingstrike_loser]

Is there a different barkeeper? What's the deal...!

[Silently grumbling to himself. Being denied alcohol is something he's dealt with before, but he's still grouchy about it.]

[miss_matchmaker]

Sir Jeremy!! Why so grouchy? Isn't this some kinda party?

[trueltning_fury]

[Geddoe is keeping to himself as best he can in a very dark corner of the tavern near the door. He didn't know it was anyone's birthday, and isn't sure he's up for all this extra company and noise when he just wants a quiet drink...

But he's here, and there's nothing stopping people from interrupting his silent contemplation of the bottom of his tankard.]

[duke_of_hazard]

[ Of course, Duke will spot him. ]

Drinking the blues away, are you?

[belfar_agent]

[ Already looking a little flushed from indulging in drinks. ]

Grr.. What's with this crowd tonight? Now I have to wait longer to be served more.

[what_a_pain]

You never miss an opportunity, do you?

[esteems]

[ Chris is looking around the tavern, she didn't come for the drinks and dancing, only to make sure Louis is with Percival and Borus before planning on heading out early. Although, while she's here, it's also a good opportunity for her to mingle and get to know some of the other residents. ]

[fierce_marauder]

[ He hasn't really had the pleasure of bumping into her before, so he seems kinda' taken aback when he sees her. ]

Huh. You must be the lady captain of all those knights, right?

[armis]

[ Borus appears to be on his way to becoming good-naturedly inebriated, ordering another bottle of wine from the barkeeper to share. ]

[esteems]

((lmfao why that face tho!!))

Just remember now, this is Louis' birthday, not your and Percival's. Please don't toy with him too much.

[innkeeper_erin]

*Erin sits in the corner alone with a glass of yellow colored soda. She doesn't know anyone's birthday today, being in the tavern just because she has finished her works at the inn.*

[belfar_agent]

[ Suddenly a drunk Minen drapes on Erin. ]

Erin, I'm so glad you could make it!~ Now I don't have to talk to any of these other buffoons!

[aloof_savant]

Sheesh, all this commotion for a 15th?

Oh well, any excuse not to study...

[flamesandfeathers]

I was wondering if you'd stop by.

[latkje]

[ Nash is leaning against one of the walls, drinking very slowly and taking in the whole scene. His scarf is somewhat looser than normal. ]

[flamesandfeathers]

Catch anymore strange rumors?

[ladyofstars]

[Outside the tavern, Zerase stands half in the shadows. Observing, a small frown on her face.]

[belfar_agent]

[ Observing the observer! ]

...Nice hood. For a suspicious person!

[what_a_pain]

[Lingers at the corner of the bar.]

I'll never get how people drink that stuff..

[cray]

[He's at the bar too, drink in hand. He hears Shigure and turns to him.]

Like this.

[He downs the rest of his glass then orders another.]

Easy.

[cooking_squire]

[Now drunk due to the efforts of Borus, Louis can now be seen wondering around, bumping into people and furniture, a little giggly]

Opps, excuse me.

[captainfluff]

*get bumped by Louis while wandering among the crowd. He looks up to see who is bumping into him*

[nodestiny]

[ Ted had stepped in quickly to see what all the commotion was about, but he quickly made an exit again, standing outside the tavern and taking in the night air. Such a high volume of people still made him uncomfortable! He rubs his neck tiredly, idling. ]

What a stuffy night...

[windamierofdunan]

[More than ready for a respite from all the activity as well, Klaus steps outside and prepares to take a brief walk alone, but seeing this stranger's apparent discomfort piques his concern, and prompts him to stick around for the time being.]

Evening, sir.

[captainfluff]

*climbs onto a table to check a nearly empty glass of beer. He stuffs his face into the glass, trying to get a taste of the human's drink* Mmuuu...

[miss_matchmaker]

Aw, no fair, even Mumu gets served? I can't look younger than a squirrel!

[ Offers Mukumuku the straw from her OJ. ] Here, try it with this!
