Event Log: Keepsakes

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Keepsakes event!
Where: All around the city
When: October 15th-October 19th
Warnings: A bunch of random crap.


Well, Hope and Delight are messing with the door again, but at least this time dragons aren't involved, right? This attempt goes a bit better - sure, no one gets sent home, but if everyone will just look under their seats, they'll find a FREE [INSERT SOMETHING YOU MAYBE DIDN'T WANT AT ALL HERE]! Awesome! So nice! Yup, throughout these few days people will be finding things from home - something they loved, something they used all the time, something they hated, something they totally forgot they even had. All sorts of cool stuff!

Well, they might not actually find it. Their neighbor might, or a complete stranger. And who knows where it could turn up? At the park, half-buried? In the Silent Hill zone, kept safe by a horrifying monster? Or hey, maybe in somebody's underwear drawer. Awkward. Better try to find your stuff, or find the owner of whatever weird crap you found. It could be something important.

[ It doesn't belong in the bar.

And yet it does, the color and the smell when she sniffs along the seam. Schnapps, she remembers as something that Steve liked, that first drink at Castiel's party. A while ago but not that long. Not that time matters, not here.

Not anywhere, really.

She opens the cap and sniffs. Puts it back on, puts the bottle in her bag, and sets out to find a glass.

Can't be sneaking drinks direct from the bottle like someone with terrible manners.

[There's plenty of places that have glasses. The bar, a few shops, surely! Well, the shops are probably closer than the bar. Noah's in one of the shops, holding one of the glasses and examining it with a critical eye. It's a thick thing, with a design on it.]

Does this look like a duck to you?

[Noah asks without looking up to see who's come in. He's pretty sure the design on the glass looks like a duck when you hold it in the right light.]
enchangement: (No excuse)

[personal profile] enchangement 2016-10-15 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[ River comes to stand on the other side of the glass, titling her head and looking at the glass curiously. ]

But she has something to drink.

[ She pulls out the bottle and shakes it. ]
casperdisaster: (Something here it calls to me)

[personal profile] casperdisaster 2016-10-15 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[It could be any bottle of schnapps. They kind of mass produce them, after all. Even ones of that expensive brand - it isn't like there's only the one. While a bottle of alcohol will always get Noah's attention that's not what really draws his attention away from puzzling over the glass. It's the ribbon.

He's seen a ribbon like that wrapped around a bottle like that before. It's one of the few clear memories of life he has left. Mother's, for her birthday, set aside only to have her troublemaking son find it before dinner and well that had been such a scene he'd caused, even in the long history of scenes the Czerny boy made at parties.]


Where - where did you find that?
enchangement: (feel what you only see)

[personal profile] enchangement 2016-10-15 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
The beach...

[ She looks at this stranger, looks and Sees and feels and gasps and looks away. A memory of mothers, a memory of deaths. ]

It's yours.

Can she have a little?
casperdisaster: (With no one left to blame)

[personal profile] casperdisaster 2016-10-15 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He feels it, hears it at his peripheral, the whisper of his own memories reflected in her, a mirror to a mirror to a mirror. Like Wanda.

Noah smiles, a small, shy thing, but not afraid. There are certain types that ease the constant fear that stained his soul with it when he died with it taking over his heart.]


Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Here.

[Noah sets the glass that is not a duck down, gently nudging it towards River while he grabs another heavy decorative one for himself as well. He unclips the water bottle from his belt to set on the counter too.]

It's strong though, heads up.

[He'd been so sick the next morning after drinking the whole bottle. Did he have to go to the hospital? Logic would dictate, but that memory is gone like so many others. Degraded, fallen away like leaves on a tree in the autumn.]
enchangement: (Pothering everything)

[personal profile] enchangement 2016-10-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Like Wanda. That makes her smile, the commonality, the comparison. Wanda is many things River wishes she could be, and if at any moment she reminds someone of the other, then. That's a good thing.

She picks up the glass and raises it, empty, in a toast.
]

She's never been drunk but she's been sick before.

Had a sip of Schnapps before, at Castiel's party of games.
casperdisaster: (Will you let me in?)

[personal profile] casperdisaster 2016-10-15 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind? I like the flavored ones best. Especially if it tastes like candy.

[Noah, being a good host when it appeals to him to do so, takes the bottle but pours River a little first. Just a very little since it's so strong - he can pour more if the burn of it doesn't put her off too much.

She looks like a teenager, or at least as old as Noah was when he started drinking, it's probably fine. It isn't like there's any cops here to arrest them for underage drinking.]


You gotta exhale before taking the drink. Lotta movies show it the other way, but it's the contact with oxygen that makes the liquor burn.
enchangement: (the path)

[personal profile] enchangement 2016-10-23 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
A fruit! [ Which fruit, however? The detail eluded her. ] Made stars from the labels.

[ She nods at Noah's sage advice and takes a breath, letting it out evenly before swallowing the alcohol. It burns, but very little. ]

Like candy, [ She repeats, and nods. ] It's good.
casperdisaster: (Every day starts and ends in sunlight)

[personal profile] casperdisaster 2016-10-27 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aside from the deeply expensive kind, most fruit flavored liquors do tend to run towards the generic taste of artificial strawberry-mango-pineapple-peach with a faint hint of either grape or banana, no matter what their label says. So 'fruit' is a valid descriptor.

He sets down his water bottle near River in an offering if she needs it, he always keeps it full, and he gives her an applause at the easy way she took the shot. Like a pro.

If only mom could see him now, really. Well, she'd probably be to preoccupied with 'only son who was murdered having a living body again' to really focus on sharing liquor with girls possibly even younger than himself.

Noah downs his shot with practiced ease too, giving a long exhale after.]


Like drinking melted candy canes.
