[WOW, I KNOW WHERE TO PUT HER!!!!!!!!

I guess they're at the bar. Well, Viktor isn't drinking, he's wandering in looking like a Oxford ass twink nerd, but he is here nevertheless. Walking better too!! He has HIS CRUTCH.]

[kabari]

[ wow maybe i just want an easy location ANNA

anyway she is absolutely fucking drinking. she's probably already a few drinks deep. ]

You lost?

[satisficing]

[dw said not today

Baiken gives him the exact same nervous energy Throné gives him, very funny. It's the can take out your kidney in one shot vibe.

He ducks his head a bit, but shakes it.]

No, no. Just... exploring. I am amazed we've been given a whole bar...?

[kabari]

[ parry throws him into the ground ]

Why's that so amazin' when we're being carried through space on a giant airship?

[satisficing]

[HELLO, he'd break into a thousand pieces.]

I mean, that's amazing, too, but I've at least seen airships and zeppelins. None of them every have a bar on them.

[kabari]

[ so get this, i have a really funny idea for week 3, ]

More like the need to drink is less impressive than any aircraft.

[satisficing]

[NOT THAT]

You are really selling the bar here.

[kabari]

Good. [ SHE CAN TELL YOU'RE BEING SARCASTIC, PUNK ] Less company, the better.

[satisficing]

[STOP, HE'S A FRAIL WAIF, HE HAS TO HAVE A LITTLE BITE SOMEWHERE OR HE'LL DIE.]

That doesn't sound very good.

[She may be like damn get lost, but he takes it upon himself to start walking around the bar and checking it out.]

Isn't drinking supposed to be a social event...?

w0, sat

[satisficing]

[OH NO HER ALCOHOLLLL

He is an OLD MAN so he is sitting in the lounge trying to decompress himself from every wild fucking thing that has happened over the last three days.]

[kabari]

[ SCARY ATMOSPHERE INTESNIFIES. YOU WANTED TO RELAX BITCH? NOT ANYMORE. ]

Oi. What kind of alcohol were you trying to tempt me with?

[satisficing]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. He winces gently.]

Something from the Undercity maybe, but I would have to ask for it first to see if I could get it. You didn't show your sword, though, did you?

[kabari]

Didn't have to. [ just putting that out there. ]

I'm not here to see you fulfill a promise, I'm askin' cuz I could always get it myself.

[ well. probably not, but look her int stat is like 10. ]

[satisficing]

[BAIKEN YOUR INTELLIGENCE]

Are you sure you'd even want to try? It'll turn your insides all the way out. The Undercity is polluted.

[kabari]

So was that a promise to kill me for cooperating?

[ she is actually not offended by this. ]

[satisficing]

[His "heh" is just a puff of not entirely humorous air.]

No. I just could tell you probably wouldn't be interested if it wasn't something that could potentially kill you.

[kabari]

Got that right.

[ drinking is listed as a skill for a reason. ]

Haven't had the luxury of a boring life.

w6, mon

[satisficing]

[WEEK ZERO MY GOD i'm losing it

Me about to force Baiken to be in the aquarium, but no......... tell me where she is unless it's the bar as usual because that's where she was going to go immediately.]

[kabari]

[ don't just force me to pc with you anna :/

location is dealer's choice as long as it's on the ship. someone can't swim, so.......

aquarium is fine there's no swimming. ]

[satisficing]

[THANK GOD because he cannot swim either so they are not going there without sidon

Instead, they can bear witness to the oceanic horrors from behind nice glass enclosures. He's watching some glowing jellyfishes actually, but does a double-take when he spots Baiken.]

I'm surprised to see you here, of all places.

[kabari]

Could say the same for you.

[ like, is she surprised? yes. she missed all the fun and excitement this morning. but her feelings are pretty muted, so there's no gawking and staring. ]

Just takin' a walk.

[satisficing]

[She's the only other person besides Ichiban who is valid here. He's a tad amused, but not meanly so.]

Me, too. I'm not sure how I managed to luck out getting yanked back when such a nice place became available.

[kabari]

Sounds like you have good karma. [ not really a joke but said almost too flippantly ]

What's it like, being a dead man living again?

[satisficing]

Nothing could be further from the truth actually.

[THE KARMA IS SHIT. But he gets it's kind of a joke.]

Mm. [He watches the glass and the jellyfish behind it.] Strange. Surreal. Like I'm... not supposed to be here really.

[kabari]

Too bad.

[ he looks solid enough, so she won't touch him to make sure.

since he's watching the jellies, she turns her eye to them too, like maybe she will divine what else to say.

the jellyfish are not that profound. ]

You're stuck carving out a living like the rest of us.
