September Catch-All
🧙 WHO: Mary and various
⚔️️ WHAT: Hot Knights, Fizzy Drinks, and A Very Heavy Conversation
🕒 WHEN: September
🗺️ WHERE: Various
⚠️ WARNINGS: Hot Knights is likely to have some nsfw conversation/atmosphere going on; closed thread with Juzo is going to have massive spoilers for the No Guns Life manga as well as discussions of death, body horror, prison, war, and all that happy sort of stuff
I. Hot Knights
[While Mary's not unfamiliar with the concept of a strip club--she grew up in the slums, after all--she has no idea what to expect inside of one. She's never had much inclination to check them out, busy with her work and the absolute insanity of her life recently. And also just not really wanting to go. If other people are into it that's their business, but it's not really her thing.
However, there's a rescue to be performed, so here Mary is dressed in a black minidress with a jacket covering her shoulders. She even bothered to put on some lipgloss. (She was also going to wear mascara, but she poked herself in the eye with the wand and decided fuck that.) In the name of not breaking her ankles by wearing heels, she's in the same boots as always.
Those who know her will notice that she's also seemingly more... erm, blessed in the chest area than usual.
Right now, she's sitting near the bar stirring some blend of liquor and juice. She turns to whoever is closest by.]
So I hear they just got a whole bunch of new people. Used to be knights, apparently.
[No one ever said she was subtle or good at this undercover thing.]
II. Fizzy Drinks
[In the name of SCIENCE, Mary has decided to check out this bubble bar thing. There's certainly no shortage of options for flavors (scents? she's breathing it in, not drinking it...), and she finds herself almost immediately taken by decision paralysis. Several of them sound good, and having to pick just one feels a bit impossible.]
Hey, which of these would you recommend?
[When in doubt, get opinions from other people!]
III. A Very Heavy Conversation (closed to Juzo)
[Now that Mary's settled into life in Avalon and has been able to get at least a rudimentary setup in the corner of Juzo's office, it's past time for her to get a good look at him. Mostly, she's curious (and concerned) about other changes to his physiology brought about by his arrival here. As hilarious as the confetti cannon in his head is, if they had discovered it while in peril it could have had disastrous results for him. That's not acceptable.
She's already declared her intentions to Juzo before getting everything together, putting on a smock and gathering tools. There's a lot that she's lacking, but she has enough to make due. It's not like she's not used to shortages and having to piece things together on a shoestring.
Once ready, she puts on a pair of gloves with a snap that is probably much more ominous to Juzo than she realizes.]
Ready for ya.
IV. Wildcard!

In response to the obvious being pointed out to her, Mary looks down at the ground.]
Maybe it will be a gradual wearing off? But that's a good point.
[She scrambles to regain her hold on Tifa when she slips away momentarily, determined to prevent them both from turning into smears of viscera on the ground when this is over.]
Hey, what's your name by the way? I don't think I caught it before.
no subject
[She's thankful for Mary's reflexes, and when she manages to hold on again, she uses her to pull herself closer to the tree they're clinging to, to wrap her arms around one of its branches again, her brows knitting together with a frown.
If they wanted these coins so badly, why put them all at risk to get them and just do it themselves? The thought passes through her head and Tifa's mouth opens, about to blurt the thought out, but she manages to control herself, initially confused about why she suddenly felt the need to say something like that. She came along to help, so...?
Shaking her head, she switches it back around.]
You are...?
