It's five o'clock somewhere!

[governorkang]

It was easy to find the Drunken Dragon Tavern, due to the train, and the fact that a good portion of the crew was familiar with the establishment and could point the way. Kang knew that there were a few already planning on stopping by, and that Kaylee could use the help. He also wanted to get more information on the new people, see who was likely to cause problems (Farseer Ildraniath already had) and who wasn't. There were a few he hoped would show up, as well.

Feeling a little happier than usual, despite the Farseer, he took care of business as usual, being sociable and refilling drinks.

[Open post is very open. Feel free to talk to either Kang or Kaylee, or both, or to threadjack (with permission, of course)!]

Despite being on the ship for a while, Dustin had no reason to go to the Drunken Dragon Tavern for the longest time. However what with Zedd being on the ship and the need for something other than slop, Dustin decided to check out this place. He hoped the place had non-alcoholic drinks as well.

[governorkang]

"Strange that I haven't seen you in here when I know you've been on the ship for a while now," Kang commented, smiling. "Most people stop by here at least once."

Either/Or can tag however anyone likes!

Cagalli hadn't really taken much of an interest in the DDT so far. It's not that she had any real problems with it, on principle. She'd had alcohol before, after all, and it was an inescapable part of human history. In this case, it's more a matter of being a bit... unsure of her brother's reaction, Athrun's and Lacus' reaction, and not being very sure of her own limits.

She couldn't hold out forever though. A freaky lunatic with a skeleton on the outside of a giant pile of red stuff had just popped, and that was excuse enough.

Despite resolving herself to not give a crap, though, she seemed a bit unsure when she took a seat in the Tavern, alone in a place like that.

[silverduelist]

She wouldn't be alone for long. Despite knowing full well they had new crewmates, Yzak still held out on the Drunken Dragon being not so crowded. When he entered, seeing the small, but slowly growing crowd, he grimaced.

oh look it is a cagalli

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Zouichi was seated nearby; upon noticing Cagalli, he turned, raising a hand in greeting with a smile. Though he appeared to have been there a while, he had no drink in front of him. He'd been watching the crew members mill about the tavern instead, trying to pick out who was new and who was not.

"Hello, I don't believe we've had a chance to meet. My name is Zouichi."

Following the bath, Chase headed for the tavern next. He's been mostly at work almost constantly since arriving (a little good times with Nima aside), now its time to both figure out the places to chill now and then, and talk to Kang and figure out this training thing.

Really, while the Azula stuff, and Zedd and the rest was bad, it wasn't a level of bad that was bothering him much, given previous experience. Just worth watching.

He doesn't need any excuse or trauma - its alcohol. That's its own purpose.

[governorkang]

Ah, good, one of the people Kang had been hoping to see. He immediately picked out one of the stronger ales and brought a mug over to Chase with a grin, "I think you'll like this."

[wolf-that-grins.livejournal.com]

Wags was sitting in one of the back corner, tuning a well-worn acoustic guitar. He nodded towards Chase when he spotted the other Garou.

Hawke had spent a good amount of time exploring the ship, trying to get acquainted with his new surroundings, and decided to save the City for last.

And, of course, like any good Ferelden, his first stop on this level was the tavern. He'd seen Kang's post on the Omnicomm, once he'd managed to get the gist of how to work it, so he decided to check it out.

As he entered, he was slightly taken aback by Kang's appearance. Still, he didn't want to appear rude, so he decided to just pretend the draconian was a Qunari with a skin condition and...well...wings.

He would have to work on that image a bit more.

"Evening, serrah!" he said to Kang as he approached the bar. "Any good ales on tap?"

[governorkang]

Kang was quite used to that reaction, and wasn't offended by it. It was far better than fear, patronizing, or the outright hate that would be given to him by a number of humans from Krynn. He grinned and grabbed a clean wooden mug, "I don't serve shitty ale here. Just call me Kang."

[not_the_philistine]

Look who's gotten out of his castle, finally. And visibly less dejected than the last time he was in, to boot.

"Business suits you well, my friend. If I may impose on you for a drink?"

[governorkang]

"Business gives me something to do," Kang laughed, getting a mug for Goliath. "You really need to get out of your castle more often, be sociable."

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"Well well, look who's out of the Keep tonight! Buy you a drink, reading buddy?" Eva's clearly already had a few, but she's still clear-headed enough. And still fully aware that there's no actual tab here.

SOOOO OPEN

[kungfu-sexnun.livejournal.com]

The new girl might look out of place at a bar. She's still wearing her plantsuit, but she's found a wide-brimmed pink hat from somewhere, and has tilted it back so her arrow's still visible. The effect doesn't quite cohere.

"You're Kang, right? I saw you at the big meeting! And I spoke to you on the speaking machines."

And she is leaning with her chin in her hands, elbows on the bar, watching Kang's every move as if absolutely fascinated.

"I'm Nima. I'm new in town."

Obviously.

[governorkang]

Kang noticed the arrows immediately, pegging her for another one of Aang's people, but didn't say anything about them, smiling at the woman in greeting, "That's me. Well met, Nima. There's a few non-alcoholic drinks if you'd like one." He remembered her from his message.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

"Hey, lizardbreath, gimme a beer!"

Well, that's good-natured. For Karis, anyway.

[governorkang]

Karis was lucky that Kang was in a good mood that night. Instead of snapping like he normally would at being called a lizard, he just gave the undead woman a look as he handed her a drink, "I've told you not to call me that."

Everything was new here, everything interesting, that Daniel found himself absorbed with practically everything he came across. Everything here could point to who built this ship, who occupied it. Anything could tell a story here. While he'd set out with the intention to find something like a library or computer database, Daniel ended up hopping the first train and taking it for a ride. Just for the hell of it, and partially to see where he'd end up. Jack would've killed him if he'd been here to see it.

It dropped him off at what looked like a medieval tavern. It was one of the last things he expected to find out here. This place felt more like a massive city than a ship, but it still felt like an extremely advanced technology behind the ship. The tavern felt out of place, but aside from some strange details (the dragon at the entrance for example), perfect preserved. Daniel meant to go in immediately. He really did. The outer decorations alone just happened to grab his attention for the past fifteen minutes before he managed to tear himself from them.

Daniel came up to the bar finally. Aside from actually finding a database, he couldn't think of a better way to get information.

"Hi, I'm new here--" he started to say. The archaeologist meant to introduce himself, ask about the tavern's exterior first, but paused instead. The man behind the bar looked like something right out of Dungeons and Dragons. It wasn't that Daniel hadn't seen his share of non-humans, because he had, but there was a difference between something obviously alien, like Jara, and something that looked like an honest-to-God dragon man.

Daniel trailed off feebly and tried not to stare. "...I was wondering what you could tell me about this place..."

[governorkang]

The dragon on the roof really was impressive, though it didn't do justice to the actual dragon it was supposed to represent. That one had gone down in a blaze of glory, though. Literally.

Used to the reaction of the human in front of him, Kang leaned forward so that he didn't tower over him and smiled. Unfortunately, a smile on him tended to show off some very sharp teeth. "What all do you want to know? Name's Kang, by the way." He spoke fluent Common, almost identical to English, and with a bit of an accent due to his having a snout.

[ternaui.livejournal.com]

The Chancellor made his way into the tavern. He approached Kang at the bar. "Good evening, Councillor."

[governorkang]

"Chancellor," Kang smiled. "You can just call me Kang. Fancy titles get annoying after a while."

Ever since podpop, Jamie has been trying to sort through a few things in his mind - most of them having to do with Lord Zedd and the problems he could cause for his friends. Despite the incident in the hangar and Lord Zedd's subsequent message on the Omnicoms, he's still uneasy.

So it's a pensive-looking Highlander who comes into the tavern and settles in at the bar. Maybe talking to Kang or Kaylee would give him some perspective on the situation. And right about now, a drink wouldn't go amiss, either.

"Ale, please."

Re: Open

[j-y-d.livejournal.com]

Chase ends up looking down the bar, noting the new arrival.

"Why the long face? Getting hammered should be a good thing."

[dragonlordbight]

After some time wandering the upper levels of the city and digesting the information contained within the 'Omnicomm' he had been given, Bight had made his way down into the city. Given how few buildings from Krynn had been apparently been discovered as yet Bight decided it would at least not hurt to investigate the Drunken Dragon, especially if it was an apt meeting place for many of the crew.

It certainly was hard to miss when it came into view, the Drunken Dragon's namesake quite clear on the roof of the establishment, something that looked to have a tale behind it he was sure. The rest of the structure was quite well maintained and constructed at least on first inspection as he approached, it could have fit in easily with the many Taverns of his City.

Hesitating less than a heartbeat Bight strode into the building. Taking in the interior, the mural off to the side and the many tables about before resting on the Draconian behind the bar. His steps taking him across the tavern floor with ease to the bar, "Kang," he greeted simply with the slightest nod before casting his gaze about the Tavern, "A fine establishment you have here,"

[governorkang]

Kang had been hoping the man would show up. Smiling, he leaned forward on his elbows in a casual, yet respectful way, "Lord Bight. Welcome to the Drunken Dragon; one of the few pieces of Krynn you'll find on this ship. Unfortunately, the ale and spirits from Krynn ran out a few months ago, but replacements have been found."

He was clearly in a good mood, wings held high and relaxed as he kept an eye on the patrons and watched Kaylee make her rounds with that ever-present cheerful smile on her face. It felt good to have someone else from his world around, even if it was a human instead of a fellow draconian, and he always liked seeing the tavern full of people enjoying themselves. "Drinks are free."

Just relaxing, Open.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae snuck into the bar quietly. She knew it was generally quiet, but she felt that maybe she could relax here for a bit. She took one of the empty tables and sat, pulling out one of the engineering books she had borrowed to keep honing and broadening her knowledge of the other tech on the ship.

Re: Just relaxing, Open.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Hey, Jinglebells. Whatcha reading?" Unbidden, he peeks over her shoulder. Given his height, it's only possible because she's sitting.

Very open, anything's welcome!

[expendable-mind.livejournal.com]

He had heard about it, he had made it one of his first stops and man oh man was he glad it was real!

[Sevvyyyyyy.... W-why are we here?] -The voice coming from a small cute doll relaxing on his shoulder. It was a girl, long black hair, and a gothic lolita style dress.

"I ah... I jus' need some refreshments is all! really Lil, it's not like the bars over in the fringe worlds I promise." At least that's what he had heard.

He sat down at the bar, making a polite soundless motion to 'hit him when you have a chance' as to not disturb the rest.

[piggyback-ride.livejournal.com]

Against her better judgement, Mindf**k made her way into the tavern, seating herself down next to one of the few members of the crew she'd had a chance to meet.

Sure, crowds weren't her thing but she was hoping, nay, pleading that copious amounts of alcohol would do the trick of blacking out the realization of all that had happened or at least bring the annoying buzzing in her head down to a barely tolerable level.

"We meet again, oh savior (pervert) from the pod cavern." She tapped the visor on her face and regarded him with a lopsided grin. "Luckily this time I not only can (thankfully) see, I'm (completely, over-necessarily) clothed! I'm not certain how many drinks it'll take before that's (dreadfully) no longer the case, though."

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Eva lies to herself fairly regularly, but she can't quite delude herself into feeling neutral that Peter didn't arrive in this podpop. She can't shake the fear that he's not in the pods at all, nor can she shake longing for his understanding. And well, if you're a little out of control, might as well go the whole way.

Not like she exactly wants to see Kang these days, either. She's disappointed that it isn't Kaylee right now. There's only so much she feels up to processing at once.

She wonders if Fonrar arrived.

"The usual," she says, purposefully staring past Kang.

[governorkang]

Seeing Eva again made Kang perk up a little bit, but when she refused to look at him, a bit of his good mood disappeared. He knew she was still upset with him, but he'd hoped that she'd gotten to a point where she wouldn't try to ignore him. Frowning, he set a full mug in front of her, "If you still don't want to talk to me, just say so, Eva. Kaylee's somewhere around here; I can ask her to refill your drinks."

[8wings.livejournal.com]

Anwei wasn't used to drinking alone - she much preferred to have a bunch of mercenaries around her for protection companionship. The Tavern seemed safe for the moment, though. No skulls of pickpockets hanging on the walls, but still it had the feel of a familiar place.

"Kang," she greeted him with a smile. "May I have a glass of water - perhaps with a pinch of salt, please?"

[governorkang]

The tavern was a very safe place. Kang didn't tolerate troublemakers.

He nodded in greeting, "I don't know if I have any salt here, but I'll check."

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

Dean wandered in, and flopped in his usual seat. He glanced around for Kaylee or Kang, and took note of some of the new faces around.
