Anyone that knows Malcolm Reynolds has probably heard at some point that he has a very special tradition, every August 1. This tradition usually has a combination of Ng Ka Pe, barfights and narrow escapes from angry, purplebelly mobs.
Mal desperately hates to break traditions. However, Serenity is currently far more Coreward this time of year than they've ever been, and Mal wouldn't step toe one into an Alliance bar around here, where the whiskey is watered down and no one knows how to play Long Pai.
He doesn't even try to think about whether he'd actually start a fight even if he was in a location to do so, being so close after his return to Hera. He chooses to focus on the practical sides of why this New Year really is new.
So, on that note, there is a mildly grumpy captain entering the bar, finding his way toward Bar and looking over any drink specials listed before deciding - surprise surprise - on Ng Ka Pe.
"...I know, I know, no violence in the bar," he mumbles to himself, "but a halfway decent method o' gettin' out some agression'd not go amiss here..."
There is
a present that appears at Mal's accidental request, a gift Mal'd never seen before.
This is gonna be great.
"Bar, do you think you could do me a favor?" Mal asks for a piece of paper and a pen, and also for a slight color change to two objects on the toy. Player One: Brown. Player Two: Purple.
The sign he writes to display as an advertisement?
Get your fake violence here! Purple beats Brown, a drink on me!
Of course, that drink will be Ng Ka Pe. That way? Brown always wins.
