The other half of the party! [Open]

[morphitudinous]

Who: Billy, the bachelor party guests, and gate crashers! (OPEN, in other words)
Where: The Drunken Dragon Tavern (ctrl-f for description if you need it)
Summary: Billy's getting married soon, and what else would happen but a bachelor party! Everybody drinks and is merry. Maybe a little too merry.

The day was almost here. While Ronnae was off partying with her friends in the Sensoriums, Jamie had brought Billy to a rather different place. He was ushered into Kang's tavern, where a couple good friends had pulled up some stools. This was going to be embarrassing. Especially when the kegs started rolling out.

Soon enough, Billy had tasted his first few brews. There was a tolerable drink in there somewhere. Once he found it, he nursed it, and soon enough he was warm and comfortable. He looked happy, an ominous sign of things to come. Right now, he's probably laughing much louder than he normally would at someone's joke. or slapping them on the back.

Let's tell stories and have some fun!

It was amazing what a little alcohol could do to a person. Kang was waiting for Billy to get just drunk enough for him to not care about any video being taken; this was something that needed recorded as proof it had actually happened.

He replaced Billy's mug with a grin and sat down with his own, "I told you I'd get a drink in you yet."

[morphitudinous]

"Great service," Billy complimented, looking absolutely delighted. Something was definitely off here. "You know, I have to say. You've done some great work running this place. I can't believe you haven't had major incidents yet."

He thought of a few ideas. Oh, someone was going to be chatty tonight.

I apologize for this

[facepunching]

Soren walked in and saw people having fun.

Then he turned around and walked out.

He managed to walk out directly into Goliath, as the gargoyle was close to walking in behind him.

"The celebration is this way, friend." Goliath eyed the human curiously. "Are you not a friend of the recently betrothed?"

[facepunching]

Wow, awkward. Soren looked up at Goliath, but... well, he wasn't a laguz. But he wasn't a human either.

"Not particularly," said Soren. "The only thing I know about him is that he's the head of Engineering. He seems competent enough. Likely to be overcome with remorse once he's less inebriated. I see no reason to impose on his... revelry."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Is he?" Jamie asked, with some skepticism in his voice. He'd been over in the corner fiddling with something that looks suspiciously like a karaoke machine, but left it once he spotted Goliath, making his way over to the door. He gave Soren a considering look as he says he's not, then shrugged despite them.

"Aye, well, you're welcome to stay anyway if ye like.

[governorkang]

"I find it hard to believe, too, especially with this crew," Kang laughed. "First one to try anything will learn that I'm not kidding when I say I'll throw them out on their ass."

He quirked an eyebrow ridge at Soren, but didn't say anything, raising his mug at Goliath and glancing over at Jamie. "I hope that thing runs on batteries, because there aren't any electrical outlets in here."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye, it's supposed to," Jamie called back. "I've just got to see if I can get this power-pack thing to work."

However, given that Billy's currently in his cups and Jamie isn't entirely sure what he's doing with the machine, it may wind up that they just have a very fancy box to set drinks on. Still, it couldn't hurt to have a go at getting it up and running. With a nod to Goliath and Soren, he wandered back over to try and fiddle with it some more.

[morphitudinous]

"They're batteries, right? Should have plus and minus marks. If not, the flat one goes with the spring. Like it's gonna bounce, right?"

He slaps the table, demonstrating bouncing with a smile he'd never flash while sober.

"There's room, isn't there? Drinks all around?" Oh, just wait. He's only getting started.

[facepunching]

Soren eyed the mechanical contraption coolly, appraising it. He should really get back to work. But he was at least mildly interested in the machine.

He would stay for a brief while, then, to see it at work.

[morphitudinous]

Billy saw you in the corner, Soren. And he didn't like that at all.

"Don't be so shy! Come on, we've got a lot more to talk about. Get in here, all of you!"

[bonnypiperlad]

To be fair, Jamie's not using traditional batteries - it was something that had been with the machine that he assumed was supposed to go along with the thing. But, as he peered at the pack, he discovered that it did, in fact, have a flat side...which he had the wrong way around. With a faint grimace, he flipped it over and snapped it into place.

"Oh. Aye, of course," he commented, doing his very best to sound for all the world as though he knew that all along. He flicked what he thought was the on switch for the machine. As luck would have it, he was right. A burst of rather loud feedback spilled out through the speakers on the front of the machine, and Jamie rather hurriedly punched a few buttons until it subsided into a soft electronic hum. After a quick apologetic look to the rest of the room, he went back to the bar to retrieve his own tankard.

"There ye are, Billy. It should be ready for ye to start singing whenever ye want to."

He lifted the tankard to his lips, hiding a faint grin in the process. Would his friend actually be willing to have a go at it?

[morphitudinous]

Billy clutches at his ears when the microphone makes that noise. It wouldn't normally bother him, but he's a little more sensitive to it than usual tonight.

He flashes Jamie a thumbs-up of approval. "Great! But we can't let your hard work go to waste. Come on, who wants to do it?"

Yes, he wants a group.
