Bar Brawl (OTA)

The Blushing Mermaid, down by the strand, is well known to be a little bit rougher than the Elfsong. One could say, bluntly, that it's a dive, except the proprietor, Captain Grisly, would then throw empty bottles at you until you run for cover because NO PUNS, get the fuck out of here!

Anyway, the liquor is good, never watered down, and the wine is usually too sweet and too strong, and if you thought you were going to eat with your intoxicants, you're out of luck. In short, it's a perfect place for after-work drinks for the middle and lower classes of the Gate, and adventurers looking for luck and/or trouble.

Tonight, there is trouble. Whether you started the fight or just walked in on it at the wrong moment, there are bottles and punches flying, and if you're not a brawler type, you might need to hide under a table. So. Duck and cover. Try conflict resolution. Sneak for the door. Or punch the crap out of someone. The world is thine oyster.

Havoc would be standing on a table by this point in the evening whether there was a fight or not, so they have no real problem with this development. There's a bottle of Amnian dessert wine in one paw, and they're half-holding onto the wall of the booth they've been perched in, for balance, surveying the scene with candid enthusiasm while occasionally yelling at the people they're watching as if they're rooting for the winner of a sports match. "ooooOOOOHH UPPERCUT! That's gonna hurt in the morning. Get 'em!"

They're more than a little drunk, and they sway a little when they start giggling at someone's antics. Observers may note the poofy little tail behind them, twitching like a caterpillar that's being electrocuted. This is a good night for them! Unless someone hits them. Then it might be less good.
