Like the Barenaked Ladies
Who: Shizuo and OPEN
When: August 7th-13th
Where: Specified with each prompt
What: Let's just say that it's been quite a week.
I. Ra's Third Destruction - August 7th (Temple of Ra)
[ It'd been a while, and Izumo hadn't shown up at the bar. Like at all. Which was starting to get Shizuo very concerned. Enough that he did something that he would otherwise never go about doing; Actually invite himself to Mikoto/Ra's temple. Imagine his surprise when there were two giant and neon purple, pink and green centipedes crawling all over the structure and already having started to break through the walls' integrity. ]
Ah... Shit.
[ There's no borderline, which meant something happened to Izumo. Which has the blond looking to see if he can grab someone to run assistance. And him without those damn gauntlets that were made for this exact thing. ]
II. Double Vision Delivery - August 7th (The Far Shore)
[ While not in the best state right now, Shizuo was walking down the paths and across the Far Shore with two people that were in far worse shape than he was. If being comatose and snoozing away counted as worse shape, at least. Which meant anyone could see the awkward scene of Shizuo trying to carry the two over one shoulder, as his other arm hung limp as a wet noodle at his side.
Look, it's weird and out in the open for anyone to see. That can't be helped. It's less awkward than the destroyed temple. ]
III. Double Cross's Delayed Debut - August 8th-10th (Double Cross Bar)
[ This was about the time that Double Cross was supposed to officially open for business. It was certainly supposed to be one of these days. However the bar had this thing going on where, despite the time it was actively being renovated, people could still be served if they showed up and Izumo was around. The supplies were in, everything was cleaned up and that wall of photos had started to get filled out.
Now there was a different blond in place, manning the bar. Not that everyone noticed when they first got in; after all, they looked similar enough for some people. The main thing is that they sounded different. Shizuo's voice was deeper, despite being the thinner/more waif of the two. The other is that this blond wore a black vest instead of a nice suit jacket, though both were suitable for a bartender's uniform. ]
Welcome.
IV. Poor Man's Football - August 9th - 13th (Abandoned Temples)
[ Hearing strange and loud sounds from the abandoned temples is nothing new. Unless you haven't been here for long, it was a regular enough occurrence that it usually meant someone was training or working on something.
This time, though it was hard to tell when or how he got them there (or from where,) there was a junk car and motorcycle on the temple property. Given the notice for being crushed, they weren't stolen from someone who would actually care enough to miss it. Neither had wheels, and judging by the lack of shattered fiberglass and filaments, the lights were also gone.
Today's disastrous sounds were coming from Shizuo, currently bound with one arm in a sling, trying to kick the motorcycle carcass up to bounce up onto his knee. The trick isn't kicking it up- it's managing the height and angle to easily get to his knee. Just as the difficulty for any other football trick is. ]
C'mon. I know I can do this...
V. Cat Tower Tribulations - August 9th - 12th (Aine's Temple)
[ After getting his shoulder looked at, and 'advised' to wear the sling again for a few days, there was a new challenge that started presenting itself. For, at the temple, there were two sets of problems. By two sets, that meant two striped kittens that went by the names Eun and Min. When he wore the sling for all of the first two days after the ablution, they weren't a problem because he was mostly sleeping that time away. Now he was moving around, and with one arm unable to stop them, it wasn't long until they realized he was a moving cat tower.
The problem is that he didn't know they were there until he saw something, and that only alerted him to one of the felines. If he saw the grey striped one, then the brown one was probably on his back or something. This was probably one of their more favorite games. ]
Oi, stop- Dammit, not again.
[ Help. ]
VI. The Wildcard

no subject
Yeah, it's not good to take off bandages and shit before your body heals.
[He smiles after, all big and bright.]
Fighting dragons sounds like fun though! Did you get to fight them?
no subject
[ Zoro, you make it sound way more fun than it really was. ]
It wasn't really a fight though- not really. I was just being dumb and trying to make things worse than they were. It's handled now, though.
no subject
[If Zoro could remember his past life he wouldn't be saying that.]
Boo, I wanna fight a dragon.
[He laughs.]
What you got here that's good?
no subject
[ Best not to ruin the imagery of these dragons for the guy. Not when he's saying things like 'boo.' ]
We got plenty of things. You want something straight, or a cocktail?
no subject
[He thinks for a moment.]
How about a cocktail? Something strong.
no subject
[ One cocktail coming up, though. Which, in this case, is an Old Fashioned. ]
Y'know, funny thing with cocktails is that most are pretty damn strong. Even the fruity and sweet ones will have you on your ass if you're not careful, or don't have a huge tolerance.
no subject
[Zoro, baby, you've barely fought anything stronger than you here.
He takes the cocktail and tries a sip, humming in approval.]
I have a huge tolerance, so I can drink to my heart's content, and damn bro this is really good.
no subject
[ But it's more that he can never tell when he's injured. Which is why he's constantly being checked for them. It had nothing to do with people stronger than him or not. ]
Old fashions are pretty easy to put together. Tolerance or not, you're gonna wanna watch out for anything that has 'everclear' in the list of ingredients.
[ Even with iron stomachs, those'll creep up on you and make you lose time. ]
no subject
[He takes a sip of his drink again, and smiles.]
Does this have it? It tastes pretty good.
no subject
[ Which... Had a higher chance of happening in the evening, and as the day went on. ]
no subject
[He'll drink the whiskey slowly though, but he really wants to try this drink.]
When I'm done with this I mean.
no subject
[ He contemplated giving a warning, if only because he already did before, in a way. If that's the case, he'll get a few things up that'll be needed, just to get the space set up. That way he can get a round of cleaning the area done again. Which won't take long- it's just routine. ]
no subject
no subject
it gets exchanged for the empty low-ball glass. At least it's really obvious as to why it's a popular summer drink. ]
Here ya go. Just remember what I said about it creeping up. People usually don't taste the alcohol, so they've made the mistake of drinking a few in one night.
[ And they don't remember that night, probably. ]
no subject
Damn this is sweet.
[He takes another sip, and hums.]
I can see why you'd drink more than one, it's refreshing.
[He's quiet for a moment, taking a long sip from his drink before he looks at Shizuo.]
We should drink together.
no subject
[ It seems that Shizuo was oblivious to flirting, and not just the type to not know what to do when being hit on. Luckily, there will come a point in time where he'll almost welcome a drink, over in Odin's bathhouse after a very unfortunate set of events. ]
Besides, I seem to do better on the bartending side of it all.
