stick around and see how it ends [ OPEN MINGLE ]

[postictal]

Who: Anyone!
What: Catch-all Denny mingle for the month of July
When: Throughout all of July, generally
Where: Denny
Warnings: Label your stuff if it comes up but otherwise nothing comes to mind



[Feel free to use this as a catch-all for whatever your character might conceivably be doing here. Are they loitering outside? Delivering supplies/food, or looking to share information about the city under the water? Helping improve the place because god knows it certainly needs it? Cooking? Socializing? Eating? Just wanting to booze it up? I've heard chatter of live music, so whatever you wanna do here, go for it! There are also some newer additions of rudimentary game boards and decks of cards to pass the time.]

[There are nominal rules but if you don't get caught you don't have to deal with them, so you do you.]

Faust | OTA

[wanderingdoctorfaust]

It is highly unusual for the good doctor to be present within the Denny's walls, outside of his regular acquisitions for morning tea - which makes his abrupt presence at one of the corner tables even more unusual. It's not immediately clear exactly when he came back, let alone if he even walked in like everybody else or if he just inexplicably popped into existence at the table. Did he even leave after collecting his beverage?

Regardless, Faust is here now, and he's...unpacking the domino box? He holds one of the strange wooden blocks up to the nearest light source, his eyehole narrowing in scrutiny as he studies the number of dots on each piece, attempting to puzzle out their meaning. Are these some sort of divination tokens, he wonders? Or perhaps they're charms, charged with magical energies so as to keep demons at bay?

...he's going to be here a while. At least he's not causing a scene like last time, right...?

[Rin has procured a cold drink, somehow (bless these new elemental powers, though he's still getting the hang of them) and he watches the weird bag guy for a while before piping up]

They're dominos, dude.

[wanderingdoctorfaust]

"-OH GOOD HEAVENS-!"

Faust leaps at least three feet into the air, kicking the entire box over and sending dominoes sprawling onto the tabletop in his panic. It takes him a second or two to realise it's just the extremely suspicious child from before, and that they are addressing him.
...he does at least try to compose himself, but it's hard to do that when two of your gangly limbs are still stuck under the table, one is splayed halfway across the top of it and the last is currently dangling over the chair he's sat upon.

"-a...ah, you're...young Rin! It's good to see you again, how are we?"

Yep, just...please ignore the the mess, ignore the accidental contortionist act, and above all else please ignore the bead of sweat trailing down the side of his bag.

[flashover]

[Rin lets out a snort of a laugh]

Dude!! You nearly jumped out of your skin! I didn't meant to spook you. I'm doing alright. Here, let me help-- [Rin crouches down and starts picking up the tiles]

[wanderingdoctorfaust]

...good grief. It won't do for him to be so jumpy, especially at his age. Willing his pounding heart back into a more reasonable rhythm, the good doctor quickly and efficiently unwraps his limbs before moving to assist the young man with cleaning up the mess.
Now, what were they saying again...?

"...pardon me, but you said these were...Dumbinose? Dominause? Forgive me, I'm rather unfamiliar with them - what are they, if you don't mind me asking?"

Hopefully not dangerous, considering he's picking them up three-at-a-time now, carefully rearranging them in front of him as if setting up a tarot spread. You know, in case they really are used for divination.
