citylogs | ( closed ) i'm at the librarian meeting. i'm at the bowling alley party.

WHO: Miss Boss Lady & her employees (Angela, and Roland, Gebura, Netzach, Yesod)
WHAT: A fun and friendly work party........
WHERE: A bowling alley, just some regular one in District 2
WHEN: Early September (wiggles hands)
WARNINGS: Library of Ruina spoilers, probably.

( Angela technically put the onus on Roland to invite everyone bowling, mostly because she didn't think any of them would want to go with her—so he's probably responsible for gathering them all... but she's responsible for getting there early, despite also telling him "tell me when you go bowling". Her managerial talents just can't leave well enough alone—

Anyway, there's bowling (obviously), so go bowl. She's also been helpful and put out all available food on the counters and tables here, so go crazy. And... for drinks, there's the regular water and soda and such, but there's also several bottles of champagne and matching flutes for it.

She's also taken some CDs and a stereo from one of the shops around the city, so instead of just eerie silence or whatever, there's music. She just grabbed whatever she could find. Don't judge her.

... ... ... ... ...

Anyway, have fun. )

Yeah? So you and Angela against me and the boys?

[ Are you ready to eat shit, Roland-- ]

( HOLD ON )

Who said I'm joining?

I did.

( wh... mmmm...hmm.. )

...I'll join for one game, if it'll satisfy you. That's it.

Good enough. I won't even say anything when you want another round.

I doubt it's that enjoyable.

( no, it's because angela is competitive... )

Come on, that ain't fair. She doesn't even know how to bowl yet.

How hard can it be.

I think it's probably safe to say she's a fast learner.

[ WELL... THEYRE BOTH RIGHT... ]

What's... What's the prize for winning, then?

( Is she allowed to suggest something... She is. Going to anyway. )

The losing side has to finish an entire bottle of champagne by themselves in one go... I believe at parties, that's where people cheer on participants with a hearty, "Chug! Chug! Chug!", is it not?

( is she saying this to encourage netzach to throw the game? no why would she ever do something so terrible and underhande )

The winning side will not suffer this embarrassment. I find negative stimuli helps people to do their best. ( so let's go roland............. let's win ! )

[i can't believe she would do this to netzach who has never done anything of the sort in his life, and absolutely would not throw a game just for

who are we kidding that's exactly what he's gonna do.]

( the surpreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting etc etc. )

[ Netzach why... you can just drink an entire bottle by yourself in one go anyway, probably..... ]

[yeah but this way:

one, no one can judge him

two, yesod also has to drink]

[ What if he agrees to drink in moderation and without misery on occasion more often instead... ]

( just win. if you can. )

(no subject)

[ She is staring flatly at Netzach.

Like.

Not a punishment for her, but.

She doesn't like to lose. ]

[ah....

okay okay he'll make an attempt.]

That's hardly a punishment for a couple of guys here, you know.

[ gestures at netzach... at gebura... at himself.......... ]

( :|...................................... )

[ ....................... ]

Fine, fine. I'll... do my best for the both of us, ma'am.

( :) ..........! )

I'll do what I can too, so don't worry.

[ isn't she eager... par for the course of becoming human, he thinks. ]

Want us to do a trial run first? Just to get you up to speed. Holding a bowling ball the right way isn't as easily as it looks.
