Pure Vanilla was no stranger to being in pubs, having been brought many by his dear friend Hollyberry in the past. He also knew sometimes the best way to overhear and learn information that written down could be in one. It doesn't mean he doesn't stick out a rather lot as he walks into one before the sunset sets outside. He decides to order just one drink, the sweetest thing on the list before going to find a seat.

"Hello, is this seat next to you taken?" he asks a stranger with a smile, deciding to pick someone who looked like they went to pubs like this often. Hopefully they would be kind enough to chat for a bit, or at least put up with him sitting nearby.

「𝔟𝔞𝔫𝔤 𝔟𝔞𝔫𝔤!」- Old twigs crunched under boots as he made his way back through the brambles and growth. Everything about him was dirty by now. His hair had grown out, matted and oily. He had never really been capable of growing a proper beard, but the stubble was there - just as greasy as his hair. His cheeks were sunken, eyes lined by deep bags.

The red coat was blotched with stains of grass and dirt.

One arm was cupped close to his chest with berries he had managed to pick. It was better than nothing. He didn't want to go into the city again... Maybe he could sneak things from the farms and make it up later...

Then he swung around at another noise from somewhere, wings flaring out defensively - a movement he couldn't control.

[ Amity Celebration for @hypnoticallycaucasian ]

Now, this festival is what he can get used to! So much to do, he can barely keep up! The angel was absolutely ecstatic when he heard of this festival and what it entails. And it's finally here!

Ooof course, that meant getting some nice treats ready! But, he had a special little.. ingredient in them. One that's in season and also used for some good ol' mischief. Thus, he spies his first victim.

"Badou!!" Pit calls out, making a b-line to the older man with a cheery and bright smile. His wings were practically flapping in joy while he held a small bag.

"Perfect timing! I'm actually giving out some treats since I made way too much! You want some kourabiedes?" The angel held one to Badou. Oh, please take it! It'd be fun!

🍻-- After some exploration, he had stumbled upon a number of bars in the standard districts, though he'd quickly decided, as so often was the case, the more lascivious and salacious areas of the city were the part with the best liquor. Maybe not the best he'd ever tasted, but then again Logan wasn't terribly picky.

Familiar tastes in an unfamiliar land were a comfort. He could admit that easily. Evening Spirits didn't seem like a terrible spot either. As long as the drink was decent, that was enough for him. ...And the whiskey was certainly above average.

He had been taking it slow. ...Well, as slow as he was used to taking it anyways.

The buzz had long since turned into a full rush. He was draining another glass of whiskey.

"Thank you! Come again!" A kind voice echoes out the door, following the customer who just left. While it's only been a few days since the rescue mission, but he not only needed some money to get food and such, he also couldn't stand around without any kind of work or direction.

So, when Petal Nooks was hiring, he signed up for it. He may not have the expertise like Roto, but he helped alot with crops. Seedlings have a natural green thumb, as they say!Tethu looks up to see who came in, sorting out seeds for deliveries. His face lit up in recognition.

"Oh, it's you..! Badou, right? We met before I came here." He smiled politely, walking up to the taller man. He didn't expect his man to have a soft spot for gardening. Not that the season is good for that right now.

"What can I do for you today?"

☀️-- Getting out of his own cell had been a bit of a feat, breaking anyone else out between shifts was even more so. Yet he wasted no time when he recognized the lanky redheaded man in the cell next to his own. The key card he had stolen, which he hardly felt bad about considering the situation (or rather, he'd decided that he could feel bad about it later), didn't allow him access to much. The person he'd gotten it from musn't have very high clearance.

But that was the least of the worries for right now. That was without taking in all of the odd machines and dangers lurking outside of the effective cell block.

The door was opened. "Badou? Are you all right?"

\ / Once again, Loki found himself in the midst of that terrible, vile creature that always pursued him this time of year. The horse that decided it would make the unwilling join the celebration. Loki thought he was prepared. He thought he was doing enough, but that damned creature showed itself as always, and now Loki was trapped in the tavern.

Loki disliked the overly sweet taste of the rum; however, it would be his only salvation on the way home. He even chose to sit along the bar this time around instead of the usual darkened corners he preferred. He ordered the drink. Then a second. And then a third. Anything that would make that horrendous beast go away.

Hours soon passed, and Loki remained in his seat. No one to speak to, and the life of the tavern was dying down around him as midnight approached. Another quiet, lonely night... that was, until someone foolishly decided to join the empty seat beside him.

❝ Badou. ❞ Loki acknowledged, neither joyful nor disgusted. In a rare instance, he was quite in a mellow mood. Perhaps it was from all of the drinks he had partaken in, but he was not in a mental state to push the arrival away. ❝ Your timing is quite poor; I was just beginning to make my exit. ❞ A half-hearted lie as Loki took a sip of the rum.

❝ Awfully late to be arriving at such a place. Though I suspect you were seeking... another's company. ❞ Loki's brows furrowed as he thought of who should be sitting here. The man who could never get enough of places like these, but that never solely came for the company of others.

❝ Please. Whatever you desire, you may add to my name. ❞ Loki gestured from Badou to the shelf of alcohol behind the tavern keep. ❝ A holiday treat, if you like. ❞
