∞ 67: A practiced hand [action/voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It's an early overcast morning in Luceti. Just beyond the makeshift barricades to the east of the village are several tree stumps, reminders of the flurry of activity before the August battle. If anyone happens to be passing by or through the area, they may see a horse and rider moving amongst the tree stumps. It's a well-practice motion now, quickly weaving through the tree stumps. Some of the sounds may be audible over the journal.

There's a pause as Albert brings his horse to a stop. And then a sigh audible over the journal.] I want something to drink. ...Perhaps tomorrow night.

[Then it's back to practicing.]

[Caesar can't be bothered to get up early and stalk anybody. Maybe tonight, though. He sounds drowsy, but he's amused nonetheless.] Tomorrow always sounds better.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert isn't surprised. Why isn't he surprised? That's Caesar for you.] Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. I do seem to be taking a page out of your book.

You're out of your wine, I take it?

[chikaidestroyer]

We did go through a fair amount of it awhile back.

Are you fond of scotch?

[chikaidestroyer]

I must admit that I haven't had hard liquor in awhile. One of your preferred drinks, Sir Sigmund?

[Will be perched on a nearby tree-stump, because he's a dork like that a pops up in weird places at ungodly hours of... anytime, and has started to draw the horse & rider quietly in his journal]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Horse and rider will be rounding the area you are sitting in. Upon seeing the New Feather, Albert raises a brow.] Quite early to simply be sitting around.

Well, if there's something in particular you'd like, I'm sure we have it at Good Spirits.

[chikaidestroyer]

I will have to take a look at your selection later today, then.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

Yes, I believe many of us could use a drink after the latest experiment.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Have you since mentally recovered from your ... stint as a child?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[Well, whenever Albert chooses to call it a day and head back home to House 42, he may notice a decidedly irate, bound-and-gagged half-elf, flailing about on the porch. There is a bright red ribbon on the poor kid, as well as a little note stuck on his forehead - ]

"Lost: One kid with excellent cooking skills.
Found: On your porch!

P.S. Let's do lunch next time. ★"

[Assistance would be appreciated, yes.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It's definitely going to be a strange homecoming then, isn't it? Albert stares at the porch as he approaches, noticing the movement before he can make out who it is.

...Well. That was sooner than I had expected.

He dismounts quickly and strides up onto the porch, frowning as the first thing he removes is the gag.] Genis? Are you injured?

[Simon is in the same area, examining the barricades. He sees Albert and approaches him]

What happened here?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Another newcomer. Albert looks at the barricades before replying.] A battle. We had invaders from outside the barrier who were attacking the village almost two months ago now. People who wanted to kill us all.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

Not a bad idea.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Not at all. Are you a beer or liquor man, Mr. Lowell?

[Voice]

[torrenziale.livejournal.com]

Why put of for tomorrow...or however that saying goes.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Choosing a fine liquor can be a long process.

[silversnowfall]

Is there something important causing you to wait?

[chikaidestroyer]

Nothing important. Choosing a good drink depends on mood, among other things.

[Despite the weather, Buffy has been taking frequent walks through the discarded battlefield and the left-over barricades. After the Malnosso took a little dip into her memories, she's been trying to recall the events of the fight more clearly. Things were fuzzy, oh-so fuzzy.

Hoof beats, of course, can prove to be a distraction and so she shields her eyes and becomes absorbed--watching the animal and its rider from none-too-far.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It's been awhile since Albert has seen the Slayer. However, he is busy directing his horse around a few more tree stumps before they turn again. Though his horse keeps moving in one direction, his eyes following the young woman watching them.]

[Albert, what are you talking ab- ... OH. Oh, right.]

That reminds me, I should ask Guy some time if the bar serves Loqua.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

We seem to get many different worlds' spirits, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have some available. A popular drink?

[voice]

[fortunefail]

I wouldn't say no to a good wine either.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Considering we have a consistently-open bar, I find that I've made very few trips there since its opening.

ooc: Okay, since I have been so much fail lately, the council meeting was never done in a prompt manner. So we can either backlog or assume the meeting happened and various topics were brought up. I would prefer to just list the topics discussed and mention any sorts of miscellaneous things, since it's ... more efficient. u_u

Albert wanted to discuss the following things:
-- Sigmund's desire to strengthen the barricades. Albert would want to build more permanent fences instead of the stacked logs used for the quick barricades, though it would take much longer.
-- The council's thoughts on how the New Feather Center is doing.
-- Warnings about the experiment that may happen during the Halloween week.
-- Find out about that barricade that Brave Vesperia put up in the tunnel. And traveling out to that desert fort and making it operable. Maybe not right away, because of the possible Halloween experiment. But maybe during the next New Feather cycle.

Let's keep the ideas flowing. Thanks. ~_~

- Yuan would definitely offer to help with the desert fort project. It wouldn't be a problem if the tunnel's still closed off, because he doesn't need it to get to the desert. He could just fly there. The big problem would be getting supplies there.

- Vyse thinks the New Feather Center is doing great! And Yuan thinks has potential to get the job done effectively, so with a bit more work and time it would be an improvement from Canard (or any other similar 'group').

- Vyse makes a note to bring the possible experiment up in the Blue Rogue meeting on the 25th. The relatively new Blue Rogues will have to stay on their toes and it wouldn't hurt to talk to the older members about it, either. Of course, I have to OOCly point out it's a null mention, because by then the event will have already kicked off.

I can't think of anything else for my characters to mention, so... yeah.
