☘ 006; [video; backdated to 3/17]

[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]

[Shirou is just...watching.]

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

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

Are you seriously Cú Chulainn?
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.]

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

[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.]

[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]

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]

[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]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
paladinlost: (curious)

[video]

[personal profile] paladinlost 2011-03-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
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]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have a damn clue. The way I heard it described, it was like humans use this holiday as an excuse to drink. ...And an excuse is pretty much all I need.

[Until the 'OH GOD MY HEAD' kicked in.]

Apparently, this body doesn't have the tolerance I'm used to.
paladinlost: (thoughtful)

[video]

[personal profile] paladinlost 2011-03-22 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Most people probably consider the drinking the main part of the festivities. The other details might have been lost to time.

Perhaps all of our tolerances have been affected. The last time I drank here, I did so carefully and felt fine afterwards, butit might be different if I tried to get drunk.

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]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably. Hell if I know or care at this point.

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Generic or not, I've gotten a little attached to it.

[Oh gods, the eye-searing pink. This hangover would be one for the record books.]

I take it you've heard of me, obviously.
paladinlost: (calm)

[video]

[personal profile] paladinlost 2011-03-22 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
For your head... Water helps, and I've heard others mention coffee.

[Because Lancer looks absolutely miserable, and Cecil cannot accept misery.]

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...Coffee sounds like a good idea. Have to admit, that's probably one of the best things this world has now.

At least, short of fighting and drinking, the latter of the two I won't be doing for a while.
paladinlost: (sighing)

[video]

[personal profile] paladinlost 2011-03-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Between coffee and alcohol, this world caters to all our drinking vices. If only it could cater to our wish to be able to fight properly, too.

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Damned shame, really.

[He set the Pokegear down on a nearby counter, focusing on making coffee. Anything to stop his head from exploding, at this rate.]

I've always got Connla if I'm looking for a match, at least.

[video]

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And what were you celebrating?

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
How should I know? I heard this was some human holiday, and that's all the excuse I needed.

[But ooooh boy is he ever regretting it.]

...was fun until the headache started, at least.

[identity profile] graildilf.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
....having fun?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]

[identity profile] graildilf.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Experiencing the downfalls of being human? Again.
