06 - And we can overcome whatever may happen. We are protected - Bar HOMRA log

[preciousmemories]

Who: Honorary HOMRA members (meaning those who have positive CR with a member) and HOMRA members
Where: Bar HOMRA
When: After Yata and San-chan arrive
What: Reunions! And San-chan being petty over fish.
Style: I think most prefer [brackets] but flexible!
Status: Closed-ish!

With the arrival of the vanguard of HOMRA and...San-chan, Tatara decided they might as well gather all the members of HOMRA present, and those that King accepted as being members, even though they don't have the mark.

And where else would they gather but the bar they took the name from? It's a lot more lively now than almost the entire time it's been here. That's what having six HOMRA members inside will do to a place, even without the others they told about the gathering.

(ooc: So if your character has ever spoken to Mikoto, Tatara, Anna, Eric, Yata, or San-chan (Bandou), feel free for them to show up! They probably got a text or something.)

Comments

At the fish tanks!!!

[chickshades]

[ Guess who's checking out the fish. This guy.

I mean, how could he not? They're practically taking over the place! So yeah, if anyone feels like poking at him, he's currently peering in one of the tanks, watching them swim around, and being pretty quiet for now! ]

[preciousmemories]

[Which fish tank is he staring at? Tatara will name the fish if he asks.]

Do you like them?

[aprettyred]

[ Do you like her fish, Saburouta?

They are generally rather red fish. ]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie was feeling a little lost when she entered the bar - more people around than usual, it seemed like. The people she knew seemed busy talking with others, so she went to look at the fish too.

She leans close to the tanks, tapping a finger lightly against the glass*

Hey little fishes..

BY THE BAR!

[diehardreaper]

[ Maybe you wouldn't notice when you first come in because it's normal for Bar HOMRA to have a blond bartender wiping down a glass. However, if you would take the time to glance over, you would find that he seems different. Maybe a little lankier, maybe a little shorter.

And it's even more obvious when he talks too.

He can't help himself but comment as he watches the people piling in, with his head resting on his hand as he places his elbow on the bartop. ]

Blimey, this place is getting lively! Wonder if everyone'll be staying here from now on...

[chickshades]

[ By this point, Bandou is sufficiently grumpy about fish and obviously needs some liquor to fuel his petty complaining abilities calm him down. ]

Oi, Kusanagi-san, can I get...

[ Waaait a minute...something's not right here. ]

Hey! Who are you?

they look pretty alike

[redstray]

[Eric's quietly sitting at the bar sort of in a place where he's kinda not in any way. He hasn't really spoken to him since he's arrived, he was used to Izumo, this guy threw things out the window.

So just have someone staring at you, Knox]

[preciousmemories]

[He grins at him, hearing the comment and walking over to sit on one of the stools.]

I doubt it. This place was usually just King's and Anna's to stay at. Let me know if they break anything when I'm not here, okay?

[Kusanagi-san isn't here anymore, so Tatara'll scold them instead. Maybe that'll discourage them even more from damaging the place. Maybe. He laughs a little.]

They'll probably show up rather often though.

[shortstature]

[Yata had heard there was a new bartender and at some point in the evening, Yata goes to speak to him. He feels kind of bad; he's quite attached to Kusanagi and despite the resemblance, this new guy isn't actually Kusanagi. He's going to try to be as fair as he can, but he'll probably screw up, so he hopes the new guy won't take it personally...]

I heard there was a bartender...so it you, huh?

[He gives the guy a friendly smile.]

I'm Misaki Yata. I'm from Mikoto and Totsuka's world, in case you don't know...

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie's just slipped in and made a bee line for the bar. Alcohol is always good in a time of need. She climbs up on to a stool, with somewhat less energy than usual, then turns to look round behind her*

These people are all gonna stay here?

[ourlegends]

[ She's in front of the fish tanks. Frillish is out of his ball, and Hilda is having fun watching her friend hover around excitedly, chasing his fellow fishkin from outside the tanks. ]

Ah, be careful, Frillish! They have to stay here ...

[chickshades]

[ There's another standing there, peering into the tank, as well. But he doesn't seem nearly as entertained by them. In fact he looks downright distraught! He's also muttering something to himself and hasn't yet noticed the pokemon hovering around next to him. ]

...croaking tetra...really?? And why is Shouhei's fish bigger than mine...I'm his senior...stupid fish...

[preciousmemories]

[Oh, she actually showed up! He wanders over with a smile and his camera.

The antics of the fish as they swim is really kind of amusing, when he calls them by their names.]

Hey, Hilda! Frillish is a Pokemon, right?

And sitting by the bar...

[ignisinfernale]

[ He hadn't ventured out yet today but he's here. Ronald's already gone and cracked him open a cold beer and there's an ashtray near the stool he's on. Suoh is turned to the door, eyes on the company that comes in.

And oddly, there's the smallest, rarest smile.

Anna, Tatara, Eric... and now San-chan and Yata too. It's a little calming to think that even if he's left his clan back home, it seems they've come to him here. Will wonders never cease? ]

[preciousmemories]

[King is smiling! That's always a good thing. Now if only the rest of them would show up soon so that in every familiar face he sees in a while, there won't be that flash of confusion.

He wanders over to him, from who-knows-where in the room, leaning on the bartop instead of sitting.]

I never thought San-chan and Yata would show up close to the same time. Did you?

Probably sitting at the bar, but closer to the fish

[aprettyred]

[ Anna is quite happy to have more of the Red Clan here, it makes teh bar feel a little less empty.

Even if Saburouta is judging her choice in fish.

But she'll happily explain her fish, or get some juice for anyone who doesn't want to ask that bartender who isn't Izumo. ]

[ourlegends]

[ She's finally taking a seat since Frillish loves the fish too much to move away from them. Visiting with Anna seemed like a good idea too, since she hadn't seen her in a while. ]

This is where you live, right Anna? Or am I wrong?

[preciousmemories]

[He kinda knew San-chan would complain. San-chan can probably find something to complain about no matter what it is. Maybe she didn't know already, though he kinda doubts that.]

San-chan thought Chitose's fish was his. [This is clearly a very important fact.]

Occupying a random seat... somewhere

[parasolspinning]

[A certain white haired teen has slipped in to the gathering at some point, and taken up a seat after getting a glass of wine. He's sipping it quietly, looking around with a somewhat amused expression. He seems in good spirits, more chipper than he has been in some months.

But he's not really conversing with anyone, so now would be as good of time as any to prod at him.]

[ourlegends]

[ Frillish had finally torn his attention away from the fish and was now being a socialite. He found Yashiro and floated excitedly over to him, squeaking in greeting and getting all up in his business. Hilda took note of this and came rushing over. ]

I-I'm sorry if he's bothering you!

[ Frillish seemed to resent that remark. He made an offended sound at Hilda. ]

Time for some trollolol

[chickshades]

[ And somewhere across the room, slouched on a couch, Bandou suddenly jerks his head up. It's not exactly hard to notice Shiro - not when your soul mission lately has been tracking the kid down at every waking moment. Only difference now is, Bandou's been informed of what happened that night just after he'd been dragged down to this city... Shiro's not really their enemy.

Still, couldn't hurt to have a little fun, right? Without taking his eyes off the white haired kid, Bandou gives a sharp elbow to his comrade sitting next to him. ]

Yo Yata, check it out.

[preciousmemories]

[Seeing him without his camera is probably already considered strange by people he hasn't even talked to yet; that sure is camera pointed toward Shiro. No bad memories, okay?]

Isana! Drinking red wine again?

[He should probably tell him about Yata and San-chan, if he hasn't found (or rather, been found by) them already. Not yet though.]

On one of the couches

[redstray]

[Eric was used to the bar being busy, especially during the summer when Kamamoto was around. Still, some people were a bit strange from what he was used to, as lon as there were a few familiar faces he didn't much care. He was actually sitting normally, his feet on the ground and he just watched everyone pass by, talking, or whatever else they were doing.]

[preciousmemories]

[Well, currently Tatara's walking over to talk to Eric. Or maybe he'll just sit next to him and join him in watching everyone else. Either way, it works, right?]

You okay? [The new people might be putting him off, after all.]

[aprettyred]

[ This is a handful of snacks, Eric, all in lovely eye-catching red wrapping, being shoved up under your nose.

Anna is making sure you're going to be part of this. ]
