Character Meet and Greet~~ At Night

[smk_mods]

Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


I. Main Street Usa!

It's twilight, edging to evening, and yet the streets are still alive with citizens and Apprentices (that means you!) alike. Take the time to admire the lights, pop in and out of the cafes or just relax in the garden.

Weapon shops and magic shops are open late into the evening this time of year, so feel free to enjoy yourself before you equip yourself for the life head.


II. Apprentice Training 101- Evening Class

Same commons behind the fire house, same weapons and wands available for practicing your skills-- though this time under the cozy street lights and the bright blues and tired purples of a fading summer twilight. Strike at the training dummy or try to catch fireflies with whispers, its all up to you.


III. Things that Go Bump

Are bumping. And they mean business. A few level 1 corroded monsters are scurrying around Main Street causing havoc and it's up to you to stop them. The question is, is it early in the evening or do you dare to face the creatures at the night's darkest hour?


IV. It's time to Sparkle!

Everyone has a spark of imagination. That is, in fact, why you're here! It's time to shine with your own scenario! Just try to keep from causing too much trouble.

Rum. Relatively attractive dude. Strike that, relatively attractive ripped shirtless dude. Yeah. She's taking that bottle and following him.

"You know I've always been warned about taking candy from strangers, but they never said anything about booze." She grins and cracks open that bottle, taking a swig. "So, tall dark and shirtless, what's the deal with this place, huh? I got the welcome speech but I honestly didn't pay attention."

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace laughs at that. "You neither? It's weird. Apparently I'm not dead, but my curse is now magic, and magic's a thing, even though it's all bullshit in my world. But yeah, corruption bad, you inspire magic and help stop the corruption which would otherwise make everything ever not exist. Oh, and something about jobs, but--" a grin. "Guess how many places hire shirtless ex-pirates here."

Ace shrugged his shoulders. "So how long have you been here? Long enough to get your class-type or roommate situation down?"

[az_shrimp_horny]

She snorts, "You too, huh? Glad I'm not the only dead hottie walking around this place." She takes another swig from the bottle before offering it back to him.

Shrugging she shakes her head. "That whole magic thing is bonkers. I'm still not sure how the fuck any of it's supposed to work. And don't get me started about having to get a job. How lame is that?!" at the mention of classes she makes a face, "Yeah I got the class thing... I don't know where I'm living yet, though."

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace offers her a high five at that, and holds up his own bottle of rum. Yeah, dude's a heavy drinker, he comes from an insane world, okay. "Keep it."

And nod nod! "Well, my roommate bailed. Called me the AntiChrist a dozen times and talked about killing his world's version of me, so I made it clear that wasn't happening. Scared him off a bit. You can stay with me, if you don't mind me being a man."

[az_shrimp_horny]

She returns that high five with a grin. They should compare crazy world stories sometime. "Hey thanks!" She's never going to turn down free booze! She takes another swig, enjoying the delightful burn of good alcohol.

"The Antichrist, huh? That's rough. I'm pretty much a semi-reformed trash bag fresh from Hell. I was trying to get into the Good Place but I don't think any of that fucking matters here." She thinks about it for a second before taking another swig. "Hey why the fuck not. Though we should set some ground rules." Turning, she gestures towards him. "I snore, so you'll have to deal. Also I like to drip dry after a shower so keep those eyeballs to yourself. Other than that? We good." She pauses. "Oh! I'm Eleanor, by the way."

[ace_of_hearts]

They should definitely compare and it'll be completely insane.

"Good place?"

He grins and offers her both a handshake and a bow, because he has manners despite being the spawn of the devil. "No worries, I sleep like the dead, and I'll be as much a gentlemen as you want." And maybe then some, because he doesn't know how much the dead thing carries over with blood and pregnancy and that's not a talk with Hades he's really looking forward to having, ever.

"Ace, Portgas D. Ace. Portgas is my Mom's name."

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Yeah, it's kinda like heaven. Apparently it's just the Good Place and the Bad Place." She shrugs, "The Bad Place sucks balls. I haven't seen the Good Place yet."

An agreement! And suddenly she has a place to live. Not too bad, that. "Nice t'meet you, Ace. I think this is the start of an awesome friendship."

[ace_of_hearts]

"Kay. Is the bad place, basically torture Hell? Because then yeah, definitely sucks. Even if I got to skip most of it, I bored the jailers too much," nod nod.

"Absolutely," a smirk to awesome friendships. But then Ace kind of considers all of his friendships awesome. He's a little idiotic like Jason like that. But pirate instead of Floridian.

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Yeah. I got stuck there with three other humans. The guy who made it made us think it was The Good Place so he could psychologically torture us by making us make each other miserable. It mostly worked 'til I figured it out and fucked up his plans."

She takes another sip from her bottle and tilts her head at him, "How the hell'd you skip most of hell? Got any pointers for someone trying to get out of her own version of it?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Niiiiice," Ace grinned about her fucking up plans and offered another high-five.

"I was too boring," he shrugged, definitely not bragging. "In my world's version, they baptize you in boiling water, the more you scream, the weaker the level they put you in. I didn't scream. They still starved and tortured me, but for the most part left me alone, even let my Gramps come visit. Because he has security clearance. Long story."

[az_shrimp_horny]

She returned that high-five. Oh the stories they could share.

That tale made her cringe, though. She shuddered, "Sounds like what I've heard about the rest of The Bad Place. Michael tried something new with us, everyone else in The Bad Place does the boiling and all that other shit. Noooo thank you." She lifted her bottle up in a toast, "To escaping that bullshit... kind of. Eh fuck that, it's a lame toast. Let's just get wasted."

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace laughed and clinked his bottle to hers. "To getting wasted and having fun after death!"

[az_shrimp_horny]

She laughed, "Hey I like that! To getting wasted and having fun after death." She took a swig and beamed at him, "We're gonna need more booze than this. Where can we go make some really terrible decisions?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Everywhere."

God's honest truth there. "We could sneak around back a few places and try to dig some up, or throw a party, but tell everyone price of admission is they have to bring booze."

[az_shrimp_horny]

She cackles with laughter, "I'm gonna say yes to all of that. I wanna get wrecked! I don't have to worry about points or any of that shit so I'm gonna let loose!"

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace laughs right back. "You would have been right at home with my family. They'd have loved you. Okay! Let's do all of it!"

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Hey thanks! I'd say the same but my folks didn't love anyone but themselves." She shrugs, smirking. "So fuck 'em. Or don't. They're dead so what do they care." Her smirk broadens into a grin, "Where do we start?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Wow, that's rough. That bad?" Not that there was any love lost between Ace's blood father and him, but at least he had his sixteen-hundred adopted family of brothers and Captain. And two baby brothers, and one lunatic Grandfather of sorts.

"Hotel!! Let's see if we can raid their kitchens and pantry!"

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Oh yeah. I got myself emancipated when I was a teenager. They never did shit for me, anyway."

But she's done talking about her deadbeat folks. Her face lights up with a grin and she nods. "There's a hotel? Score! There's always good shit at those!"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Emancipated? That's like running away, right? But where they don't look for you?"

Sabo could have used that.

"Yup! Party time!!"

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Kinda? Like, legal running away. So I could get my own apartment and shit without having either of those dirtbags signing for anything."

She shrugs, clearly not caring one bit about the DNA donors who called themselves her parents.

"I'm always down for a party." Following, she looks him over, "I gotta ask. What's with the shirtless thing? Not that I'm complaining, but it's, uh, really a statement."
