Instructors Night Out!

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

[With only a day to go before classes started, Gavril thought it would be a good idea for the instructors to get together and try to enjoy themselves before the stress of the start of the school year got to all of them. But more than that, it was a chance for them to all get together and get to better know one another, as there weren't many instructor activities where they could come together and mingle without having to chaperone.

Or at least, that was the theory.

Though he had sent PMs to all the instructors inviting them out, he was beginning to wonder if maybe no one would show up, or that only the few people he was friendly with would show up, or any other number of things as the minutes counted down to the time he had given everyone. He'd even gone so far to move the location to a bar in Balamb after learning at least one of the instructors was underage, as he'd managed to convince the owner of this particular bar to allow underaged instructors in tonight, but only if they got their hand stamped to prevent them from obtaining alcohol. Also, by moving it off Garden, it lessened the chances of bumping into any students.

Not one to be a pessimist, though, Gavril quickly pushed such thoughts from his mind and started drinking a little early, nursing a beer while he hoped for a large turnout.]




((OOC: For the sake of my sanity, I'm handwaving the fact that Gavril sent out PMs inviting every instructor to a night out before the new semester starts. Feel free to mingle with one another and otherwise do what you like! Though Gavril started it this is very much an open post for everyone to get to know each other better, and relax before the start of classes, so tag around! And if your character feels so inclined, drink away. We'll figure out who has to pay the tab in the morning :D

Also, I apologize for any typos there may be as it's 2am, and I will fix it in the morning >>; ))

[Look who's bringing her swag in. Dis troll.]

It has been awhile since I have gone to such an outing. Much too long. [She's wandering through the entire bar though. The smells were rather nostalgic. You know, when trolls actually took enough time to do things together. Drinking was a rarity amongst them, so it was a big thing when they actually did it.]

I am unfamiliar with hornless drink names though.

Then allow me to buy you a beer! [So says the firearms instructor, plunking a nice dark stout in front of Redglare. It's nice and chocolatey. Kicks like an ogre brew, without the nasty aftertaste!]

That's a porter, or the dwarves back on Azeroth were lying through their teeth. If we haven't met, I'm Katsura Sunarrow.

[She has a porter of her own, of course, and she seats herself on the nearest barstool, tossing some of it back. Yeah, after drinking ogre brews for the longest time, Kat kind of has a tolerance...]

[l3g1sl4t1ng]

So this is a beer? Interesting. Quite interesting. [She must thoroughly analyze this! She must be more knowledgeable of these drinks.]

Neophyte Redglare. I teach the justice and laws class, as it should be.

I believe us trolls have similar drinks that might parallel with drinks like these. But I am sure they taste different and have different names.

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

Hello, Neophyte! Glad could come. [Smiles at her, even though he's aware she's blind. He can't help it. Sorry, he's not wearing anything red today, instead wearing a white shirt and jeans.]

Hmmm what drink smell like cherry... [Orders her a fruity drink with cranberry sauce--and is red.]

[l3g1sl4t1ng]

It would be rude not to take some time to be amongst my fellow peers. And it had been quite awhile since I have went out on a night like this. [She can smell...taste...(?) your smile. Or something. There is just no way you can tell what her abilities do.]

Oh~? What is this? I am not familiar with human drinks. But they sound much better then what we usually drink.

[werepanther]

[Tom'd already been there before most people. In retrospect, this was probably a bad idea, as he's already drinking his second beer at the bar.

He might want to lay off the booze - for just a little bit - or else he'll be drinking his whole weight in alcohol before the night's over.]

HEYYYY

[notasidedick]

Don't drink too much too fast. Last time I checked, you were a man not a fish. [Oh hey Tom. It's Paris HiltonDick. He just arrived apparently.

Dick didn't mind going to these things to socialize. He wasn't a heavy drinker though. And he rather not get drunk around staff of all people.]

♥

[werepanther]

[Tom can't help glancing over at Dick with a slight smile.] I'll be fine. Don't worry 'bout me so much, you hear?

[Not that he takes Dick's advice that seriously in the first place...]

ALL OF THE BATS

TOMMMMMMMMMMM

[Somebody has had a little more than two beers already]

[focusedfate.livejournal.com]

[And arriving just on time for the start of the gathering is Cid. When he spots Tom, he waves and slides into an adjacent seat. He orders a beer for himself--likely the only one he'll drink tonight unless someone else encourages him--and then turns to look at Tom, gesturing at the other's beer.

He smiles, easy and friendly.]

How many thus far?

helllllllllo heterosexual sassy gay friend

[swagneto]

[ Tom was easily spotted when Erik wandered into the bar, heading straight over to meet him with a hand on his shoulder, jostling him slightly as Erik took a seat next to him before turning to the bartender with a nod for a drink. ] Beer, please.

[ He turned back to Tom, taking note of what the man was drinking before speaking up. ] Starting the party without me, already?

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

Pace self, Tom. Is not competition.

[notasidedick]

[Dick is totally those guys who buys the fruity, frilly drinks and doesn't regret it.

You know, like appletinis. Or whatever you call them. He stretches lazily. Knowing him, he would be sleeping in the morning after if things go how they usually go. But hey, it's all in good fun. And he looking forward to tonight.

And he's got a god damn frilly drink to down.]

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

[Slams a beer in front of him]

Are you on a diet or something? Drink the real stuff you idiot.

[tragetea]

[That frilly drink is enough that Galatea cannot just ignore it. She has to mock him. She try to swipe it, take a quick look at it, and take a drink herself if he doesn't stop her.]

And here I thought you might have been pretending. [But nope, still a lightweight drink.]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

Oh, good, I'm not the only one with one of these.

[Sharpay sits next to him with another fruity drink, flashing him a smile.]

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

What drink is that? Very bright!

[doommagnetengie.livejournal.com]

[Gavril's not the only one who started early.

The other instructors would be forgiven for noticing Isaac show up - even with the suit, he keeps quiet and doesn't say a whole lot he doesn't need to. Paranoia was dulled a little bit here - as much as it could be, anyway - as he was in the company of competent people who knew what they were doing. At least he hoped so.

Nursing something particularly strong, he's sitting at the bar in all his RIG-equipped glory, blue spinal health bar, weird aerodynamic flaps and an unequipped helmet. He didn't have his plasma cutter with him, he doubted "Engineering Equipment" counted for what amounted to a jury-rigged pistol that could cut arms off.

Nevertheless, he said he'd show, and he really did need to get to know the other instructors better.

At least he hadn't noticed a vent shaft yet.]

[swagneto]

[ Erik makes his way around, moving away from Tom to meet up with Issac, the particular equipment a distraction and he found it curiously engaging. He pressed a hand down against the bar, calling for another round of drinks before looking over pointedly at him, raising an eyebrow. ]

I suppose the suit makes you a fair threat, then?

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

I like suit, but is really necessity? Seem very uncomfortable to sit in...

[tragetea]

[Galatea is a girl who doesn't mind a good time and drinking for some fun before she's back to putting some brats through their paces? Definitely her kind of fun. She's drinking some shots, the bottle right in front of her. And look, she brought her own meal in the way of a nice, big deep dish meat lover's pizza, because alcohol and greasy foods make such great friends. If you ask nicely and you're nice to look at she might just share with you.

Maybe.]

[werepanther]

[After maybe the fourth or fifth beer, Tom wanders over to where Galatea is and takes a seat across from her. Casually leaning on the table, he can't help gesturing towards the pizza.]

Guess I missed the memo on "bring your own pizza night."

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

Is custom to bring pizza to bar? [Because if it was, he would have brought one.]

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

[Have another Instructor. If you've managed to get another drink before you're finished with the current one you're imbibing, blame her. She did manage to have some of her gold with her from Azeroth, and it spent, even if it was "translate into gil". Not that she's the type to spread it around to foment chaos...

Unless it's for her fellow instructors on a night out. She lifts her drink and stands, though it's not likely she's easy to see over a crowd.]

To our future gray hairs after the semester's over! [Toast said, she throws back her current glass of porter (actually, it's probably boilermaker style by now), and takes a seat.]

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

[Laughs at the toast.] See, see! [He knew it was one of the senses...]

Is very nice to buy round... Katsura, da? [Grins at her. The man likes grinning.]
