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.

F-fine! Then just get me a regular ale. I'll pay you back with whatever you want.

[fierce_marauder]

With whatever I want? G-geez. Don't go saying stuff you'll regret now.

[ He orders the ale for him anyway, and one for himself! ]

[flowingstrike_loser]

I'm taking a request out of town, so I'll probably make a nice potch off of that. It's the least I can do for someone like you. [Gladly takes the drink~]

[fierce_marauder]

Right, but you're assuming that what I want is something you can buy.

[ He takes his own drink too, not rushing or anything to finish it. ]

[flowingstrike_loser]

Pft. What are you even talking about?

[fierce_marauder]

Nothing in particular. I'm just saying! You were pretty liberal with your words there!

[flowingstrike_loser]

Well, I doubt you were gonna ask for my first born child or anything so I'm not worried.

[fierce_marauder]

What about... name your first born child after me!

[flowingstrike_loser]

. . .

That's just cruel.

[fierce_marauder]

[ Starting to like the sound of this the more he thinks about it, even if it is a joke. ]

Can you imagine the daddy issues that kid would have?

[flowingstrike_loser]

If he knew I named him after a buffoon like you, yeah.

[fierce_marauder]

Please, it'd start way before he found that out. You'd never be able to tell him you loved him with a straight face! Pffft. [ Finding this a lot more humourous than it should be! ]

[flowingstrike_loser]

[Always too easily annoyed.]

Maybe if I'm lucky, it'll be a girl.

[fierce_marauder]

Then maybe you should name the kid Mitsuba.

[flowingstrike_loser]

T-that would make me look like a creep.

[fierce_marauder]

Yeah, you're right.

Guess I'll just have to come up with something else.

[flowingstrike_loser]

Hm... Well, what about Hayley? Then she'd still have your name, sorta. [Snickers.]

[fierce_marauder]

[ PULLING A FACE. ]

Wh-where the hell did you get that from?!

[flowingstrike_loser]

It's kind of sounds like "Hervey", right? But girlier.

[fierce_marauder]

Ugh, that's a bit of a jump, ain't it?

[ Just annoyed that Jeremy's come up with that kind of thing. ]
