[closed] Y'ALL READY FOR THIS
Who: Tadashi Hamada (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bropane), Marian Hawke (kirkwalled), and Levi Ackerman (dirtdevil)
When: IC: 27 May
Where: A bar at the pleasure district
What: A bunch of bros hanging out
Rating/Warning: Let's say PG for now
[ tadashi had invited levi to hang out the day after arriving back in the colony proper, though a thought occurred to him, as well. you know what would make drinking more fun? drinking with hawke. not that levi is any fun, but tadashi figures the smaller man could use a few more friends, anyway. so, why not? this won't hurt.
he sends them a text to meet at a bar at the pleasure district. he waits outside because walking in alone feels awkward. but once the three of them do go in, they'll notice a few things: most patrons are wearing band shirts they've all never even heard of, everybody is wearing skinny jeans (including tadashi... smh...), and then there's a ton of vintage furniture and low-hanging lights everywhere...
this is a hipster bar.
welcome to tadashi's wildest dreams.
time to take a seat on one of the couches. sorry, you guys. it's definitely nothing like the tavern you guys have likely been to. ]
So, what are you two having? Don't worry about the bill. It's my treat.
[ tadashi knows how to drink, at the very least. he's a bit of a social drinker back at home, who drinks every now and then at conferences or at parties, but that's about it. he doesn't have any preferences on what to drink and whatnot. please teach him. ]

ANYWAY, hawke has to let out a chuckle when she gets the address because tadashi? in the pleasure district? did he even pick a good bar? (the answer is no, he did not.) but hawke shows up regardless and shoots judgmental glances at the place --
there is a tentacled alien wearing a shirt that says i had more orifices before it was cool to have a lot of orifices and drinking from a mason jar.
-- and hawke is really uncomfortable with the fact that she chose to wear plaid today. she feels kind of like she fits in here and that is the opposite of what she is going for. which... again sort of makes her fit in. oh god, it's a vicious cycle!
she drops down onto the couch next to tadashi, glancing over to levi and then tadashi before giving a shake of her head. to levi: ]
You hear that, serah? We get to splurge. Maybe we should buy out the whole shelf.
no subject
as for this... bar... judging by the look on his face, it's not what he'd expected. he very openly stares at the alien drinking from a jar, before shifting his eyes over to Tadashi and raising an eyebrow, as if to say "what the fuck, bro?" but it's okay, because it's for Tadashi's sake. he'll tolerate stupid shit like this because Tadashi's his best friend, and consuming large amounts of alcohol to drown out their problems is what best friends do together.
...he thinks.
he turns to Hawke when he's addressed, and eyes Tadashi for a second before replying. ]
I don't know. I have a feeling he might be a lightweight.
no subject
[ he sputters, and even raises a hand, his finger pointing at levi and he's totally ready to say something regarding how he feels about that statement. he's cut short, though, when an alien waitress slithers over to their table and hands each of them a menu. "what are you having?" she says, then just waits there for the orders.
and tadashi's jaw just drops at the prices. there are actually regular human drinks (thank god), but they're hella expensive. almost triple to how they are on earth. (well, tadashi's earth, at least... or so he guesses.)
then he looks at levi and hawke, biting his lip. wow, he made a big mistake in saying it was his treat. but he can't back out now. ]
I'm not going back on my word, [ said a bit begrudgingly. he's not even going to try and refute levi now. maybe it might be a good idea to get drunk and let loose for a change. (hahaha... hiro's going to kill him.)
then, to the waitress: ] Bourbon apple sangria for me. [ he's going to regret this. your turn, guys. ]
no subject
[ yeah, tadashi. hawke's just going to continue with the "shittalk about tadashi while he's sitting right here" thing and is pretty amused about it. she's in a good mood though, despite the... bar... and is looking forward to the evening. she doesn't know levi very much but anyone tadashi has a high opinion of must be pretty nice. he seems like an alright judge of character after all.
poor decision making though. she lets out a bark of laughter as she sees the prices on the menu and raises an eyebrow as he commits. okay, tadashi. if you must. ]
What in Maker's name did you just order?
[ actually, hawke doesn't know half of this stuff on the menu so she just frowns at it before handing the menu back to the waitress. ]
Give me, ah... the best ale you have on tap? That's simple enough.
[ hawke misses tevinter wine, suddenly. ]
no subject
he closes his menu as well without much of a look. he's not going to be adventurous on someone else's dime, especially when he's pretty sure he wouldn't be able to identify 90% of the drinks on there anyway. instead, he motions with his head towards Hawke to the waitress after she orders. ]
The same for me.
[ honestly, it could be the shittiest ale they have on tap and it'd probably still be better than what he's used to. the future sure is great, huh? ]
no subject
he also pictured this experience to be a lot different. people talking loudly, bar fights, billiards. . .
then again, his bar of choice isn't exactly the kind of bar for bar fights or anything. (how would he know, though.) ]
Okay, house rules. [ he puts his palm on the table, trying to command attention. while he was expecting bar fights to happen, he'd rather not have either of his friends participate in any of it. ] No fighting, though I guess if you wanted to pick somebody up, you can do that.
[ then he smiles, uncertain. LET'S GET WILD???? ]
no subject
also hawke would've started a bar fight by now but you took her to a place where you drink booze out of mason jars. if you really wanted the full experience, you should've just let hawke pick the bar. shame on you.
when tadashi tries to ~command attention~, hawke gives a bit of a snort before covering her mouth with a hand, smiling like an idiot. oh my god, how precious. ]
I will try and keep my wily, wily fists to myself, Tadashi. [ what a joke. ] But you did take us to the worst tavern ever if we were to find someone suitable for the night. Honestly, is this what you enjoy? Like, genuinely so?
[ she's judging your taste, bro. their beers are coming now though! so hawke will take her ale as it's served to her and take a sip of it, eyebrow raised right at tadashi. ]
no subject
what? ]
"Someone suitable for the night?" What's that supposed to mean?
[ he's not going to touch his drink until he figures out what nefarious things Hawke might have planned. he thinks he knows, and he doesn't like it. someone please tell him they're not all here to get Tadashi laid. please. ]
no subject
yeah, let's not do that... ]
What?!
no subject
Boys. [ seriously. ] I meant for myself, mostly, but with a reaction like that -- I'm almost tempted to focus on the two of you. Are you both really so inexperienced that you immediately panic at the thought of taking a lover?
no subject
he's just going to take a drink before answering. this sure got awkward fast. ]
I really don't think either of us is going to find a lover in a place like this.
i didn't know it was my turn SORRY
I just came from a "break up", so that stuff's a sensitive topic.
LOOK WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO it's totally cool
she actually opens her mouth to argue against levi when tadashi mentions the break up and she just looks at him, baffled. ]
Wait, what? You... were in a relationship?
[ hawke just squints at tadashi like she can't actually believe she missed this whole thing. sweet maker. she is a terrible bro. ]
no subject
Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
[ or maybe it's inevitable and they might as well talk about it while Tadashi's still sober? he glances up at him, waiting to see how he wants to handle this... delicate topic. ]
no subject
then he takes a deep breath. ]
Ami Mizuno - she's... she wasn't my girlfriend or anything, but I did like her. She liked me back.
[ let's start there for now. he's sure hawke and possibly levi might have any questions. ]
no subject
hawke feels a shit-eating grin spread across her face as tadashi explains before she quickly schools it into something normal. right, right. be sympathetic! ]
Cute. Was she hot?
[ the most important question, honestly. ]
no subject
he's never been able to get drunk but he's sure as hell going to try anyway. bottoms up. ]
no subject
I wouldn't call anybody hot, but she was cute. And charming, and really smart, too. [ he takes his drink and downs a huge part of it. ah...
he feels dizzy for a few moments but he manages to gather his bearings soon enough. ]
But Hiro didn't like her...
no subject
still, what tadashi finishes with surprises hawke. ]
Oh. I can't imagine Hiro not liking anyone. Are you sure she was alright? There must have been something wrong with it, even if you didn't see it.
[ because hiro's a great judge of character?? come on. ]
no subject
He may have been a bit biased.
[ not that he knows anything about this stuff, but he can't imagine Tadashi liking some unsavory weirdo. then again, he doesn't know what it's like to have a sibling, either, much less a dead one. who knows what Hiro was feeling back then? ]
no subject
[ he leans back and sighs. he knows why hiro said the things he said. he gets it. and tadashi's just too dumb to say anything back or even defend himself. ]
He just didn't want anybody getting my time but him, you know? I get it. Especially since I'm his only immediate family left.
no subject
... Ah, that makes sense. You're dead, after all, so all the time he has with you is here. Who's to say how long either of you will stay in Cerealia?
[ a frown and hawke takes a swig of her drink. ]
This conversation turned depressing immediately. I, for one, blame Tadashi.
no subject
because Hawke's right, this is getting depressing. and he's pretty sure the goal of this, the whole reason they're in this stupid weirdo bar is to get Tadashi to not think about this shit. so he stows away the part about his family; he'll ask about it some other time. later. ]
Maybe we should talk about something else.
[ or maybe they could just drink and not talk at all. that'd be his preference, but they're not here because of him. he's going to let Tadashi take the lead. ]
no subject
this is fine. ]
Let's talk about your girlfriends, Levi.
[ well, you did say something else... ]
HO' boy i'm back, sorry folks
(also she doesn't particularly want to dwell on the dead friend thing either, honestly.)
instead, let's talk about levi. hawke immediately turns to levi, eyebrows raised and grin spreading over her face. ]
Oh! Do you have girlfriends, Levi? ... Or boyfriends? I suppose I shouldn't be very specific, hm.
how dare!!
No. Neither.
[ and he flicks a quick, accusing glance at Tadashi. what the fuck, bro. ]
no subject
Hooo man, sorry bro. [ a finger wipes a lone tear from his eye. ] Had to lighten the mood up a little bit.
