In which a mun cannot believe she's really doing this
Characters: Huo (getsome_sleep), OPEN to debaters and onlookers!
Date/Time: Evening of the 27th.
Location: Smoke's in the City Without Walls.
Rating: PG, in case of drunk debauchery err debate that's right.
Summary: Debate night down at the pub. Huo's idea of a good time is a bit special.
The truth was that Smoke's was perhaps not the best place in which to hold an evening of debate - the quieter, and in a sense more civil tea shop might have been better. But Huo felt obligated to his friend, and besides, knew that an invitation to a drink of alcohol was usually more of an incentive than to a drink of tea. Response in his journal had been positive. He'd looked forward to it all day.
It was odd, going out to exercise a skill he was not sure, per se, that he had. Certainly not at any boasting level. But it felt right, quite simply. Confidence came easily to him as he strolled through the bazaar and into the tavern. With little logic to that certainty, he was certain that he would not be leaving with empty pockets.
His appearance reflected that confidence: he'd put aside the newborn's clothes and, though his new clothes were very simple in cut, they were also very white, down to the band fastening his neat topknot. It occurred to him as he entered that he rather stuck out in the place, and that amused him. No one would have any trouble finding him at least.
Deciding not to bother the bartender yet, he selected a corner table and settled down, gaze roving across the room. Hopefully Sumi would show up soon, or any of the others who had shown definite interest. He was ready.
[OOC: If your char wants to try to out-debate Huo into buying them a drink, please start a new thread. Otherwise threadjack away!]
