Birthday Shenanigans

[gatheringstorm]

WHO: Korrin, Open to any positive CR (even if it's 'we met that one time and didn't hate each other')
WHAT: Birthday pub crawl/a quieter gathering for close friends?
WHEN: Drakonis 25 for the dinner. The pub crawl is the next evening.
WHERE: Kirkwall (the docks and Lowtown)/Korrin and Araceli's dockside apartment (inside or on the roof)
NOTES: Consider this your chance to add new and stupid names for various taverns in the city. Threadjacking is a-ok and there's no posting order. Adding CW as needed.

Pub Crawl

The message, given over the sending crystals, is pretty simple. Korrin's birthday has arrived and she wants to celebrate it with good friends and good drinks. Since Kirkwall has a variety of places, why not sample them all, or at least the places that will allow a qunari? It's made clear that presents aren't necessary, so no pressure there. She's more interested in the company and making some good memories than anything else. Meet her at the docks by sunset, and prepare for a wild night.

Dinner with friends

You know who you are. If you're at all close with Korrin or Korrin and Araceli (especially both of them), then you're invited to a calm, relaxing night of good quality cuisine, wine, and maybe some music and card games. The menu? It's Korrin, so there's a distinct prevalence of northern fare; spiced wine, Llomerryn Red with roasted potatoes or fresh oysters, paella, and alfajors, among other things. Every dish -of which there is an abundance- is set up buffet-style, with comfortable seating in a semi-circle not far away.

Make yourself comfortable, and watch your plate or a certain fox might try to sneak off with your dinner.

"Ooh, that's nice and dark." She leans in for a look before raising her glass and takes a long swig. With questionable brews from questionable places, she's learned it's best to just dive in. Slamming her glass down, she coughs. "Wow, that's pretty intense for a non-qunari brew. Have enough of that and no one's going to give a shit what it tastes like."

Fenris is glad to gulp his down, as he's also never been one to be too bothered with the taste or quality of what he's drinking. As long as it does what it's meant for, he's satisfied. "Intense… just how I like it. I've definitely had much worse." He smirks. "Another round and maybe I'll even be inclined to try the food here."

[gatheringstorm]

"It's your funeral, Fenris. Don't say I didn't warn you." Korrin smirks, trying to remember to pace herself since this is only the first stop. But one more wouldn't hurt, it's still human brew that doesn't -well, shouldn't- affect her too much. "So, how is life in Hightown? Have your neighbors gotten used to you being around again?"

[lyriumcarved]

"One more round here, then. I think there's a better place for food just down the street if I'm not mistaken…" He'll take care of this round too, just because. He wants to let her just enjoy this evening, as much as possible. "As for Hightown… it is what it is. They don't all approve, but that's just too bad. They have to learn to live with it. I can't help but enjoy seeing some of their expressions." Pissing off the nobility is a very worthy cause, after all.

"As long as they can't do anything but glare, it's the gift that keeps on giving. Ever thought about throwing a party and inviting all the people they'd hate, just for spite? I know you can't provoke them too much, but still. They deserve to have their precious neighborhood 'infected' with their supposed lessers."

Fenris can't help but be amused at the thought. He even smirks a little before he takes another long sip of his drink. "Yes, the thought had crossed my mind... we have plenty of those types among us in the Inquisition, after all. They could object all they want, but in the end it would mean nothing. Of course, you're right that I don't want to draw too much attention." Who knows what kind of unwanted attention that could lead to, after all.

[gatheringstorm]

"If you ever want help with that, let me know. I'd be happy to play the role of beer fairy and impromptu bouncer, if need be." Korrin takes another long sip, enjoying the potency even as it's far from among the best taste-wise. "That's the kind of party I can get into; something actually fun, instead that Orlesian bullshit we usually have to deal with these days."

[lyriumcarved]

It's one of those drinks that's just good for getting drunk with, and little else... but it definitely suits the current mood, and works well. Who knows what they'll be having by the end of the night, though? "We do seem to be dealing with far too much of that sort of thing, don't we? We need parties with less fancy clothes, for one... and yes, I know well I could entrust in you to be the head party planner."

If it weren't her, it would be Varric, most likely, but either way, he knows he's got people around who will do that kind of event true justice. Not being the most social butterfly himself, he counts on them for such things.
