Roronoa "do you even own a shirt" Zoro ([personal profile] yourotherleft) wrote in [community profile] estoria2016-07-10 06:30 pm

Think I wanna play around

Who: Zoro [personal profile] yourotherleft & OPEN
When: IC 8/4-8/5
Where: A bar, a club, Dojo or Diejo, a brothel, and the Pleasure District in general
What: Canon confirms that Zoro has two hobbies: drinking and swords. Nothing else. Pretty sad. He's out and about with lots of chances for people to join him in one of said hobbies - because both can be done without risking faulty technology! Or BYO glitch. Everyone with CR with him got a text about sparring, at least.
Rating/Warning: nothing anticipated

[Technological failures only served to wake Zoro up to the realization that he'd gotten way too used to the technology. He used to live just fine without it, so what was so wrong with going back to his roots? Nothing, that's what!

To be fair, he didn't arrive at this conclusion until the gravity room program glitched on him, rendering his usual training ineffective. Then he tried to send a text just to Kashuu to ask if he wanted to spar (you know, now that spirit foxes are a thing of the past) and it accidentally went out to everyone - every last person Zoro has ever talked to on the CEREvice. It gave him a depressing number of pingbacks for missing and departed users...

There's two things he's good at, swordsmanship and drinking. He might as well turn to those.

8/4, evening

[Zoro starts out at a bar, and then eventually wanders on down to the Entertainment District to see if he can pick up any word on potential new bounties. Something has a lot of the aliens irritated, and he can feel it. Especially around the criminal underground's usual hangouts.

1. Have a drink with him. Zoro is only 50% likely to start a bar fight, and even then, it's likely the other party will start it first. Marvel at how drunk he's not even after the fifth bottle.

2. He's not dancing at Niteo. You can't make him. You can try to hit on him? Or you can hit him. Zoro is here to listen to clandestine conversations going on at the next table over where alien thugs are gathered and also not dancing. If you can get the info he's searching for without blowing your collective cover, he just might cut you in on the bounty.

8/5, day

[For the most part Zoro starts out his day at Dojo or Diejo, looking for a fight. He doesn't trust ViViD so good old-fashioned beatdowns are going to happen if anyone wants to indulge him. He honestly didn't mean to text everyone about sparring, but he's not going to turn anyone down if they show up in response.]

8/5, evening/overnight

[Whatever information he managed to get the night before points to a new target who really really loves the android brothels in the Pleasure District. It's a pretty big target, too, the kind with lots of security around him. This can either end well or end terribly...

1. What in the hell is Roronoa Zoro, of all people, doing in a brothel? Catch him walking in or out and question his life choices. Or catch him inside and find out whether he's there to patronize the androids programmed to hit on him no matter how diligently he ignores them.

2. His target is on the move. This leaves Zoro skulking around the pleasure district, darting from cover to cover, only to have one of the perpetually-blooming holographic sakura trees vanish, leaving him exposed. Uh...hi?

3. There's got to be more bars around here. Zoro really needs a damn drink right about now. Nothing tonight is going well, particularly when he realizes that at this time of night, the only open establishments where booze can be had are host clubs and brothels. Ugh, does he dare risk getting hit on again to get a drink? Yeah, yeah he does. Unless someone runs into him with a better idea...

[ Mu, as well, doesn't like to use ViViD if it can be avoided, so here he is.

He's unfamiliar with the dojo-type of training grounds though, they're different from the grounds the soldiers in Reim uses.

It reminds him of Kina though, the aesthetics of the place. He did not need that bout of sudden homesickness...

So he was going to focus on seeing if anyone was around that would be up to sparring. And there is at least some people around.. ]


Ah. Good day.

[ He nods, only a little hesitantly. Not because he has any problem with fighting - he is a soldier after all - but because he isn't sure how fighting works in these facilities. ]

I was thinking of it, as this is the sort of place where one can fight.

[ Ah... ] I'm not a beginner, I'm actually the best in the Reim Empire with a sword. [ He has not mentioned that in ages, it feels odd to say it now. But it is true, he is Reim's best swordsman. It's just that Haven has worn down his confidence... a lot. ] What sort of weapons may be available for someone who is not a beginner?
