[open] if you don't shut your mouth, you're gonna feel the floor.

Who: John Allerdyce and, perhaps, you.
What: Crossing the line and getting his ass fired.
When:Night 267
Where: Baldr, either at the bar or wandering.
Rating: PG-13 for John's mouth and potential violence, will mark up if needed.


[They knew that he drank on shift. They knew that he mouthed off customers and occasionally even told them to get right the fuck out of the bar. But they were strapped for employees, so they held onto him.

Until he got extremely loaded on this particular evening and started - or attempted to start - a fistfight with his boss. The large, burly man had just enough colour to be angry, so he joined in gladly, and it got to the point where Pyro had to pull his knife. One long cut up his boss's bicep later, Pyro's ass was out on the street.

You can find him:

A) Standing in the open doorway of the small bar, hollering abuse at the owner/bouncer who just threw him out, his arms and face badly bruised and a slight list to his walk;

or

B) Wandering through Baldr with a fresh bottle in his hand, a steady stream of muttered annoyance trailing behind him. There may be shadows of bruising left, but they'll be hard to make out in the darkness.

It's hard being Pyro, damnit. So much manpain, so little time.]

[She returns a few moments later.]

He's going to bring it to me.

Don't worry. It's not one of the personalities I got to keep.

[She smirks at him, sobering as he delivers his speil. She thinks about that a moment, nodding along.]

Huh. Anyone different. Sort of a theme with humanity. So what could you do? Before you got here.

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-05-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure.

[She comes to a stop, rubbing his back again. She isn't expecting it, but if he does actually get a job there she would be able to help keep him in line.

... Or at least stop drinking while on the job.]


Are you going to be alright?
eggsterminate: (baby i'll be bulletproof)

[personal profile] eggsterminate 2013-05-21 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
And he's probably not about to be sick on himself either.

That'd be handy.

[She watches him with the lighter a moment before looking back up to his face.]

So how do you deal with it? Losing a part of yourself.

occulthymns: (perhaps this is the end)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-05-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely out of left field. She blinks at him, guessing it's the drunkenness that's brought this on. She can't imagine him being sober and asking that.]

I'm still a Witch.

- Half. You know.

[She hesitates, then continues.] Not being able to use my magic doesn't suddenly mean I'm completely human.
eggsterminate: (shit how did i end up on tv tropes)

[personal profile] eggsterminate 2013-05-21 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Only once.

[Okay, much more than once. She can't hold her alcohol at all.]

Much better. How are you feeling?
occulthymns: (fantastic waves against our sides)

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-05-21 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He must have been talking to someone else....]

I think those kinds of people are the ones who want to be normal to begin with. So if they get the chance of course they'd jump on it.

[personal profile] occulthymns 2013-05-21 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly... I don't know.

[There's only a short pause before she starts explaining.]

Back home 'normal' didn't mean being human, it meant being a Witch. And that meant being clever and strategic and powerful.

A Witch would never want to be human. Humans are weak and frail and stupid, and inferior in every way to a Witch.
eggsterminate: (bit by bit)

[personal profile] eggsterminate 2013-05-21 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Keep it. Just in case. Plus it's got your germs on it.

[She gives him a soft grin.]

[That gets a giggle out of her, and she's smiling as they head into Baldr house.]

Definitely not.

[She's curious, now. As far as she knows there isn't anyone from Pyro's world here who fits that description, so it can't be about him.]

... Is there someone like that here?
eggsterminate: (miss sugar pink liquor)

[personal profile] eggsterminate 2013-05-21 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She drops down next to him. Not too close in case he does throw up but enough to lend a little solidarity.]

Neck hurts, eh?
