Drinks Are On Me (Bar Log)

Who: Anyone and everyone.
What: It’s a bar log, throw your characters on here.
When: Mid month, during carnival terror.
Where: The Watchtower Bar
Warnings: Alcohol, per usual.


[Life goes on in the Grove. New faces come, and some of them leave before Luca even has the chance to properly get to know them. This month, the memories of everyone's ideal life likely continue to hang over their heads. And that actually sucks, thanks. So Luca makes sure to roll out the proverbial red carpet. Between that and the nightmare that is the carnival, the usual sign outside the bar is quickly updated: Free Drinks all Month

It's worth noting that the usual age restrictions are gone. Anyone is allowed to enter the tavern at this point, though Luca isn't going to be handing out drinks to anyone below 15 (he swears that's normal in Renova). Still, it's probably evident why he's been more amenable to the younger generation. A number of tables have been moved away from one of the walls, and Luca has taken the time to pencil out where a potential open doorway may go eventually. There are even stray papers behind the bar that you might catch sight of — looks like someone's planning an addition.

How interesting!

As usually, Luca puts out plenty of food. Probably more than usual. Is he trying to compete with the carnies by putting out actually edible dishes? Maybe. Enjoy your roast beef, pheasant, and rotating stews, I guess. There's also a cheese plate out this month, strangely absent over the last few. Maybe someone is feeling a little hopeful? Who's to say.

Enjoy your bar log. Drink, have fun, and break things. Luca's not your dad, and his ghost dad will probably just grin from his corner.]

Can't you?

[She seems intrigued that the inability is apparently mutual, standing as tall as her short legs allow her to. Almost as though she expects that might make a difference in some way.]

[Kyojuro, likewise, bends at the waist to reach down to Cy's level. They are practically nose to nose at this point.]

Can you?
sparkplugs: (pull the blinds and change their minds)

[Cy's eyes are large and locked with his. The ultimate staring contest.]

Not yours.

[But normally? Yes. Absolutely. ]

[Good fucking luck, Cy, have you seen this man's stare.]

Perhaps it has to do with the power of my will. We demon slayers are trained to be incredibly resistant, both in body and in mind. Failure to be able to withstand a blood demon art that might twist the mind against you would surely mean death for us!
sparkplugs: (see these eyes so green)

[She is looking at it as they speak!]

Wow! It takes a lot to keep your mind untwisted.

[It's odd to her, but she is impressed by it even if it keeps her guessing.]

It does indeed! That is why I am one of the best! And for you to even begin to approach it must make you considerable indeed.

What is your name, my friend?
sparkplugs: (it's been so long)

[personal profile] sparkplugs 2025-09-21 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
My name's Cy. I'm the one who sees inside.

[It's at this point that she breaks eye contact, tilting her head so she can butt his face with probably a bit more force than necessary for an affectionate gesture.]
tempurahair: (The Ending Won't Be Forgotten)

[personal profile] tempurahair 2025-09-21 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Kyojuro has the completely normal reaction of butting his head right back. Not hard or anything, he's not out here to bash Cy's brains in. Just matching her force.]

It's a pleasure, Cy The-One-Who-Sees-Inside. I am Kyojuro Rengoku, former flame hashira of the demon slayer corps!
sparkplugs: (don't you know my name?)

[personal profile] sparkplugs 2025-09-21 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cy has no idea what any of that means, but she draws back to give him an admiring look anyway.]

That's why my head's so hot.
tempurahair: (That We're Made Of)

[personal profile] tempurahair 2025-09-21 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, great news, Cy. Kyojuro is looking at you the same! What a truly magificent creature.]

I suppose it might be! My family and I have long embodied the spirit and style of flame within our every day lives!
sparkplugs: (it's just the fear of losing you)

[personal profile] sparkplugs 2025-09-24 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[They're both magnificent! Even if Kyojuro's mind does burn her a little.]

I want to see.
tempurahair: (A Moment Sat)

My flame? I'm afraid it's a bit complicated! It requires very complex movements, you see. I fear our friend the bartender would be quite cross with me!

[Never mind the fact that it still hurts like nothing else to do. But if Cy insists, he's not going to say no.]
sparkplugs: (with gasoline)

[personal profile] sparkplugs 2025-09-25 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily for him, Cy accepts his explanation. If she remembers she may bother him about it again, but he's safe for now, and so is Luca's bar.]

Next time then.
