Chapter 4 | Bar Fights

[beauchevalier]

Who: Angelo and anyone in Vatheon.
Where: One of the local restaurant bars.
When: Early afternoon into the rest of the day.
Style: First/Action.
Status: Open!

[Good afternoon Vatheon. Should your character be walking by one of the local restaurants, there will be a loud ruckus going on inside. Why? Because our dashing hero Angelo has unintentionally started a bar fight. The scene shows screaming people (both men and women) who are running out in terror while others are joining in the brawl (throwing furniture, punching, kicking, etc), broken objects (windows, chairs, drink glasses, etc) and lots of shouting. Where is Angelo among this you ask? He's sitting on the bar counter watching everything. Instead of going work at the host club or being around people much these days, this is what he's doing and the fight itself? Not entirely his fault per se. So if your character wants to watch the scene, try to break it up, or even talk to him by coming inside among the madness... It's all up to you!]

[ Well.

Duke isn't feeling up to particularly making a great big show of crossing the room, which he may need to do if he didn't have this particularly handy spell known.

Stop Flow was a bit costly, and rather ridiculous to actually get to work in combat, but this...? Well.

If nothing else, it lets him pause the happenings of this bar long enough to walk over to Angelo. Duke isn't entirely sure what it feels like to be caught on the other side of this spell- when the archer started it, Duke went to stop the casting, but in theory little was noticed, unless he went and punched someone or something while it was active.

So there is a Duke standing near Angelo now. ]

If you may skip for this, may I simply because I do not wish to come?

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo blinks at Duke, unsure of what to expect from him. Though he's rather amused that he'd come to see what was going on.]

Hello Duke. Were you enjoying the show?

[radiantwingedone]

It was loud.

[ And something he hadn't seen for a while. He is totally using magic to keep anything from sailing their way. ]

[beauchevalier]

[Being himself, Angelo just shrugs and sits back on the bar counter top.]

I thought it was fun. Of course, I have no idea how it started.

[Yet he does and won't admit it.]

[radiantwingedone]

Clearly. An entertaining moment or so. Then you are left with men with broken limbs or missing teeth.

[beauchevalier]

You make it sound like an utter tragedy.

[jagermeister]

<sub>[It was the fleeing people that initially piqued his curiosity, but the real hook was the sound of a brawl coming from inside the bar. When Grimmjow entered to inspect the chaos, he was met with...

Well.

If he said having a bottle thrown and shattering against his head was normal, he'd be lying.

Either way, it's enough to earn a snarl and sure enough, he joined into the fray to return the favor to the unlucky local.]</sub>

Oi, fuckwad! Get over here!

_{[Unfortunately for him, he underestimated the strength of that particular one and soon found himself being thrown over the bar. At least he didn't collide into anything! ...Except for the booze shelf. Whoops.]}

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo notices Grimmjow right and watches him out of amusement. He's not about to get into a fight of course, but he'll watch.]

[jagermeister]

<sub>[Wuss :c

Either way, Grimmjow could care less; his target was the one who decided to throw him over, so he's digging around behind the bar for the biggest, heaviest bottle he can find.

...It's almost a shame to throw away good whiskey, but this guy had it coming. After aiming, he whistles sharply to get his attention and as soon as he turned? BAM. Bottle to the face.]</sub>

...S'the fucker down? I can't see 'im from here too well.

_{[Don't mind him as he climbs up on the bar to peer over the crowd of people.]}

[beauchevalier]

[He watches Grimmjow and starts laughing a bit.]

Would you like for me to join in the fun, friend?

[redcladidealist]

[The sounds of the fight are what drew Lloyd's attention first. Then, of course, the people leaving in a hurry.

Huh? What's going on?

Curiosity and concern warring, Lloyd weaves his way in to investigate, dodging elbows and feet as best he can while sticking to the fringes of the brawl. He's still trying to figure out who exactly is fighting and if it's serious when he spots a familiar face at the bar. He starts in surprise.]

Angelo!

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo brightens up at the sight of Lloyd coming in. He even waves at him with a smile.]

Lloyd! Pull up a chair and watch the show with me!

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd stares at Angelo, then has to hurry to dodge a fist.]

What, are you crazy? Angelo, this isn't a show, it's a fight! Somebody might get hurt!

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo blinks and also raises an eyebrow.]

Is this something you're not accustom to back home?

[redcladidealist]

Hey, I've seen brawls before. That doesn't mean I want to stick around. Half those guys are probably drunk. They're just as likely to hit me as they are to hit anyone else!

[Finally reaching Angelo's side, he reaches out to try to take hold of the other's arm.]

Come on, let's get out of here.

[honeyflaaash]

[The only reason Honey was even near the restaurant was because she was considering getting some dinner there. She simply didn't feel like cooking today. Every so often, she's allowed to take advantage of the free service in Vatheon and splurge, right?

However, she's stopped in her tracks when there's an explosion of shouts from inside the restaurant. Moments later, a group of people comes bursting out the front door and into the streets. Panic. Mayhem. It's only too familiar and for a split second, her mind automatically jumps to Panther Claw. Then she remembers there is no Panther Claw in Vatheon.

She doesn't even bother to transform, she just starts pushing her way through the startled crowd to get inside the restaurant. Once she's made it to the origin of the ruckus, the bar fight itself, she starts shouting to get their attention.]

Everyone, please! Calm down! There's no reason to fight! [Sadly, a chair is thrown in her general direction. It misses her by about ten inches and smashes against the wall behind her.]

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo watches poor Honey being assaulted and comes to her aid by escorting her out of the restaurant bar. He doesn't want the poor lady to get hurt.]

You poor girl, are you all right? You're not hurt are you?

[honeyflaaash]

[What, no, Angelo. What are you doing? Why are you steering her out of the bar? She just kind of awkwardly squirms in his grasp a little.]

I'm fine! I just... We have to stop them!

[beauchevalier]

[Being used to the bar fights back home, he doesn't get why she wants to stop it.]

Why? Let them get it out of their systems. It'll stop once they're done.

[honeyflaaash]

[Honey looks positively offended at that suggestion.]

But someone might get hurt!

[spiria]

[ HEY WHAT, NO. Kohaku happens upon this scene and her immediate reaction is to try and put a stop to it.

... easier said than done, admittedly, but Kohaku is determined. She makes her way into the bar very slowly (lots of things flying everywhere, not an easy thing to dodge). It seemed like a typical bar fight. Kohaku had to wonder if she'd make it better or worse by tossing water on the fighters.

No ... Kohaku didn't think she could stop this by herself.

So, when she spots Angelo over on the bar and hurries over as quickly as she can. He was a friend. He'd help her, right? ]

Angelo! Help me stop them?

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo continues sitting on the bar counter top with an amused grin.]

Why stop it? It's amusing to watch.

[spiria]

[ wut. ]

It's scaring people! And causing a lot of damage! We need to break the fight up, but I can't do it alone!

[beauchevalier]

[He shrugs and continues to watch. He's used to bar fights at the Simpleton pub, so this doesn't bother him.]

It'll stop eventually, just let them have their fun.

[spiria]

Do you see how many people are running? And screaming? This is obviously not a great thing to allow to keep going!

[ ANGELO, MAN, NO. ]
