[As it turns out, there is a bar in Violet City. Which, tonight, is inhabited by a famed heroic spirit of myth--]

Faither--!

[--who currently has his only son in a headlock.]

Something wrong, kid? C'mon, don't tell me you can't get out of this!

[The resulting scuffle seems to have knocked his Pokegear out of his bag--and as Lancer's E-rank luck dictates, of course it will turn on and record this to embarrass the hell out of him. Meanwhile, the rather hesitant NPC bartender carefully hinted that hey, maybe Lancer should ease up on the getting drunk. Judging by the mostly-empty bottle of alcohol nearby, he was probably right.]

[With his free hand--the one which lacked a flailing teenager--Lancer pointed at the poor bastard with a look of absolute seriousness on his face. Which probably made the situation seem even more ludicrous.]

Hey. HEY. Nobody tells the Hound of Ulster when he's drunk. Back home that'd have gotten you a lance to the chest. And you don't want a cursed lance to the chest.

[A pause--he immediately seemed to forget about the ~horrible offense~ the bartender had committed by suggesting Lancer was drunk.]

...Man, I miss that lance. [He addressed the still-flailing Connla, headlock more of an awkward one-armed hug now.] Your aunt Scathach is gonna kick my ass if she ever finds out I lost it.

[The video timed out shortly after, Lancer's miserable fortune seemingly in full swing even if nothing else was. Drop a few more hints about your identity, why don't you?]

[ooc: IC responses will be delayed by a few hours. Drunk Lancer is quite drunk.]

[Out of all of those references, however familiar they sound to her, Scathach is the one that catches Mitsuru's attention the most. Didn't Minato have a Persona named after that mythological figure...?

Now if only she could remember what pantheon it came from]

Lancer. [She'll worry about that later. Right now... drunk Lancer = no good]

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[When he finally answers, it's about an hour later from a room at the Violet inn--and boy, does Lancer ever look out of it. This, kids, is the point where the party goes from 'awesome' to 'someone stop the room from spinning'.]

Mitsuru. You're...y'know, the smart type of girl. Seems like most of the ones I run into are.

[Focus, Lancer.]

So tell me something. How do you humans deal with such a miserable tolerance of alcohol?

[Of course, he has no clue that any of that was broadcast to all of Johto. For all he knows, Mitsuru was calling about something else entirely.]

. . . [she sighs]

We don't drink nearly as much, that's how.

[video]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Shirou is just...watching.]

I never expected even you to act like this when you're drunk.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[An hour and a half later, Shirou gets a response from a Servant who seems to have stopped just barely before the 'hung over' phase of misery.]

What can I say? We're Irish, we know how to celebrate.

[video]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

And what were you celebrating?

[video]

[pink-stalker.livejournal.com]

Hound of Ulster? Cursed lance? Drunk off his butt?

Are you seriously Cú Chulainn?

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

That's 'Lancer' to you.

[Two hours later, and every minute just ticks by solely to make Lancer miserable. By now, he pretty much looks like a truck hit him. This, Lambdadelta, is the flat, sarcastic, world-hating 'I am never drinking again now everyone shut up' phase. Which, for the record, never lasts long before the vicious cycle of alcohol starts all over again.]

That some kind of problem?

[video]

[pink-stalker.livejournal.com]

That's kind of a lamely generic pseudonym, even if accurate. I'm just a bit surprised to see an old hero dragged into this place.

[video]

[paladinlost]

What a lively evening! Are you celebrating a particular occasion?

[Because he really hopes that quantity of alcohol is not a weekly thing or something.]

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[OH GOD THE HEADACHE. Lancer had, by this point several hours later, passed from 'drunk' to 'nauseated' to skirting the lines of 'this is surely the worst hangover in recorded history'.]

Some ridiculous human holiday I am never celebrating again.

[And of course, he blames the date and not his own cluelessness. For the record, Lancer, humans can't drink as much as demigods.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

A holiday? I've not heard anyone mention it. Are there any other parts of it that you could still celebrate?

['Without looking like you want to die' is unsaid but there.]

[Video]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

[ohhhh my goood] Lancer-san... I think you've had one too many.

[Video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed.

[A couple hours later, the reply comes from a miserable looking Servant seeming for all the world like he was run over by a flock of Dodrio.]

Worthless human body, can't even stand a few drinks.

[Video]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

At least it taught you a lesson in moderation! You can't be doing reckless things like that without knowing your limits.

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

....having fun?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I was.

[Says the guy who looks like he's waiting for the sweet release of death. It seemed nothing else would get rid of the headache he developed in the few hours between the original broadcast and this response.]

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

Experiencing the downfalls of being human? Again.

[used-harden.livejournal.com]

...I see. Then you truly are Cú Chulainn.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[Hours later, this headache would surely be one of legend.]

Yeah, and? It's not as if we're exactly fighting the Holy Grail War around here, so I'm not too torn up about anyone finding out.

[used-harden.livejournal.com]

[D'awww. Looks like someone can't hold their liquor~]

...Hm. I suppose you have a point.

[Plus it's not like he has anything to be ashamed of for being The Hound of Ulster.]

[video] forever late...

[zelretch.livejournal.com]

...Except for the times when the Hound of Ulster is actually, honestly drunk.

[Oh, she's waiting for the aftermath. Give it a few hours.]

[video] <333

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[And a few hours later, the aftermath is exactly what she gets.]

...have I mentioned lately I hate being human?

[action]

[three-geasa.livejournal.com]

[This is Connla. This is Connla who didn't drink half the bar, and therefore is not hungover.]

Faither, I made somethin' fer ye.

[He's got a mug of... something. Something hot, but it doesn't smell like coffee. Do you dare take a Scottish hangover cure, Lancer?]

[action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[He probably should have questioned what it was before drinking it.]

[Because it tasted like death.]

...?!
