Log:

[It's funny how sometimes a passing aside can eventually snowball into a concrete notion that somehow ends up sounding like a really good idea — and if you're Carmen Sandiego, that also generally means it's a day ending in the letter "y". This time around, the passing aside had been simple enough; almost a joke, really. It's not as though she hasn't been warned about the utter peril she might be walking into by telling Lancer she'd buy him a drink for every story he can tell her; she's well aware his long memory is full of stories, and that he can almost certainly hold a drink for every one, which means she's likely to end up bankrupted if they end up keeping strictly to the terms of their bargain.

But it's also not as though money has ever taken precedence over fun in her life (or at least, it hasn't for a very long time, so long she's almost forgotten that time ever existed), and ill-advised or not, the agreement had really boiled down to an excuse to do something social and have some fun on a Friday night, and there's something just refreshing enough about the unusual and foreign normalcy of it all that she's willing to give it a try.

Of course, being out in public on a Friday night naturally comes with perils of its own, including but not limited to seeing familiar faces, having surprise visits and unanticipated encounters with long-distance friends, and...well, dragging them along with you when the sights and sounds of one bar get tedious and everybody sort of ends up deciding to go find another one instead.

So come on down, stop on by; the mission for this evening is to take a ragtag league of extraordinary gentlepersons and successfully navigate an average social outing with a standard modicum of shenanigans involved.

Which is, of course, the extraordinary gentleperson way of saying TONIGHT WE'RE GOING HARD.]


[OOC: Okay, so! This is an open log for anyone over the drinking age who is currently in Goldenrod City right now and wants to come hang out for a Friday Night At The Bar; just tag your starters with a location and maybe an average estimate of what time of the night it's taking place at. Presumably the group's going to move around at least once or twice so you might catch them in a bar, on the streets of Goldenrod, or feel free to have groups wander away from the pack and go do their own thing — whatever floats your boat! The log's open for everyone, to be used as you see fit. Just please mark all warnings accordingly in your threads and tag responsibly! o/ ]

[Aaaaaaaand it's a convenient thing that he's at the bar, actually, because Carmen hasn't decided what her first (and possibly only) beverage of the night will be yet, so having Kayneth occupying a stool provides an easy excuse to slide in next to him and make conversation while she deliberates. And it's convenient, because that makes it less "use some random guy for cover" and more "kill two birds with one stone", so it works out.]

Evening, stranger.

[HI THERE]

[enjoymyatelier]

[OH GOOD, SHE'S HERE

NOW THIS TRIP HAD NOT BEEN WASTED]

I was hoping you'd arrive here. To be honest, I was wondering if this was the right place...

[doitrockapella]

[LIKE MAGIC

FOR ONCE SHE IS SOMEWHERE THAT PEOPLE EXPECT HER TO BE]

I get the feeling this is going to be the first of many, actually. Did you have a good trip down?

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah. Really...?

[...is he sure he wants to do this]

Anyway, for roughly one of the few flights I've had, it... wasn't too bad. It was a bit odd using an Altaria, though...

[doitrockapella]

[...Okay well yes, she remembers the last time she tries to travel anywhere on an Altaria and it was...a unique experience, let's put it that way.]

Would you like something better suited to distance travel? I could always train up a gift for you.

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I have been meaning to get to Cyanwood at some point so that I can fly on my Noctowl, who is more than suitable given that she's only very slightly shorter than I am... but I do appreciate the offer.

[doitrockapella]

If your team can handle the different type advantage, Sabrina also gives out the Fly HM. Of course, that would necessitate a train ride to Saffron, which I know they've been having some...trouble with, lately.

[enjoymyatelier]

...ah, yes. If nothing else, Team Rocket can be counted on to make everything very slightly more inconvenient than it already is.

Granted, the sorts of Pokemon that I tend to train would make both of them something of an easy fight, but I think I'd rather do things in order.

[doitrockapella]

I can respect that.

[She flashes him a grin.]

So. What're you drinking tonight?

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I believe I'll start with a lemondrop martini and go from there... of course, if you have any recommendations, they'll be appreciated.

[doitrockapella]

I don't drink enough to have a favorite, actually. That's one of the reasons I'm even out here tonight. Trying something new, living a little.

I'm glad you came.

[enjoymyatelier]

Really? That's unexpected. Well, I admittedly usually prefer vintage white wine to mixed drinks, but... unfortunately, when you're living on winnings and money from arts and crafts, that's a little pricey.

...well, I'm not sure how I'll be feeling at the end of the night, but at the very least, I'm sure it won't be boring.

[doitrockapella]

You should invest in a Persian or two. There's no augmentation to an income like Pay Day, I have to admit.

[enjoymyatelier]

That simply seems too easy, though. I enjoy being able to take pride in my work, even if it can be challenging to return to my former economic splendor.
