[ GOOD EVENING, MARSHALL STREET. YOUR LOBBY HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A WILD WEST SALOON BY AMERICA AND MIRIA. Perhaps an elaboration is in order.

If anyone in the complex cares to come down and figure out what all the ruckus (get it? Baccano, ruckus, shush it's funny) is about, you'll find that America and Miria have gotten it in their minds that there should be a saloon in Discedo. It's 1881 for America, and Miria is... Miria. This makes sense to them. This does not make sense to anyone else. That is okay. This is normal. So what does this all entail, exactly? Let's find out:

→ Chairs and tables of a wide variety; most likely stolen or robbed (at complete random, though hey, it might be yours. YOU'LL GET IT BACK... EVENTUALLY.)
→ Likewise for cups, glasses, and any vaguely Western decorations
→ Discedo Red Eye. The normal stuff is made from alcohol, chewing tobacco, and burnt sugar. Do you really want to know what's in the knock off? Either way, it tastes like the fires of hell.
→ Poker chips and cards. By that I mean checkerboard pieces/wood chips/whathaveyou labeled like poker chips, and whatever cards America could find. Have fun trying to win a game with this deck.
→ Banjo tied up in the corner. America stole a cow like the outlaw he is. Too bad it's his own. No one ever said he was good at this.
→ An out-of-tune piano that once belonged to Austria forever and a day ago. Why I remember this, no one knows.

For the record, America's dressed in a cowboy outfit left over from the last time Isaac left, Isaac himself is in similar (though probably fancier) attire, while Miria wears something pretty. This is Discedo and they're both still dirty but WHATEVER. IT ADDS TO THE AUTHENTICITY. The two citizens are in the background setting up the last details while America beams into the camera. ]

THE SALOON IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS! That's right folks! Located right on American soil on Marshall street, brought to you by none other than me! Oh, and Isaac and Miria. They helped a lot.

I have no idea what to call it yet, but I've got alcohol and cards and... aw heck, we don't have a sheriff. Well, I can fill that role 'til a real one arrives! Dunno if that means I have to keep an eye on myself or not, but I'll get to that bridge when I cross it.

...also, England, gotta talk to ya. If you care to. That's it! Come drink and stuff!

[ He apparently thinks he shut it off. That is a lie. The video is still rolling as he sets his communicator on a table. You get a nice view of the lobby ceiling while America shouts at Isaac and Miria. Did I mention that he's a bit imperialistic too? Not as bad as the 1890s but still. ]

So I was thinkin'! Can you guys steal a building? I want another! And I'm running low on bullets and I just got over that economic depression, so I don't wanna pay that much for one. Which one has the most Americans?!

[ It ends there. God help whatever building he attempts to claim.]

[ WRONG TIME PERIOD BUT I CAN'T BE ARSED TO CARE ;w; ]

You not allowed to turn the apartment building into a speakeasy.

[starspangledhero]

[ IT'S OKAY 1930s is one of the ones I might skip over so it all works out ;w; ]

It's mine! I can do with it what I want!

Hey, did you hear what I said?!

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

Something about sheriffs and bullets and stealing buildings and other nonsense; it's hard to understand you at times.

[ ... ] But if you really wanted to talk, fine. It's not like I care either way.

[starspangledhero]

Hey, you actually got most of it! You just left out all the cool parts connecting those things, but that's okay, that's what I'm here for.

If you want gentlemanly liquor, you'll have to bring your own. All I've got is Red Eye.

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

Don't go and automatically assume I'd want to drink with you!

... although, lucky enough for you, I have some gin left. I suppose I'm feeling magnanimous enough to share.

[starspangledhero]

You can drink next to me if it bothers you so much. But I might be up for some gin! [ So much for sobriety tonight. ]

[PINGED BY SPEAKEASY.]

It's a saloon! Nothing's illegal, so it can't be a speakeasy! [GOD. EVEN MIRIA KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE. WHY ARE THESE TAGS IN CAPS, I DON'T KNOW.]

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

[ COOL KIDS USE CAPS. ]

Speakeasy, saloon, whatever it is, it's nothing good or proper.

[isaaaaaac.livejournal.com]

[OH OKAY THEN. MIRIA'S PROBABLY A BIT TIPSY SO SHE'S A LITTLE MORE OBNOXIOUS THAN USUAL.]

Doesn't have to be! It's fun! [HER AMERICAN-NESS. IT'S SHOWING AGAIN. okay i'll stop capsing now.]

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

Right well, it's not as if I'm jealous because I'm having plenty of fun without pretending it's the wild west or the prohibition.

I've just... run out of liquor and I suppose I'll come down to borrow a bit of yours.

[isaaaaaac.livejournal.com]

That's more like it! [And there is no way in hell either of them is staying sober tonight.]

[dueling-hearts.livejournal.com]

What's a 'speakeasy'?

[AMERICA: CORRUPTING CHILDREN ONE SALOON AT A TIME.]

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

An illegal bar. The kind that popped up all around America when he had his ridiculous prohibition?

[dueling-hearts.livejournal.com]

[thinkthinkthink history American history... most of his days in class were spent flirting with Anzu give him a second.]

...Prohibition? That was the banning of... alcohol, right?

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

That's right. It was a right load of bollocks, if you ask me.

[dueling-hearts.livejournal.com]

Why is it a big deal? I'm not allowed to drink, but I don't mind!

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

It's an llegal --

[ waiiiit Riku is a child what is a child doing at a bar ]

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

... where's your father?

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

[ sob no Riku your purity!!! ]

It's not safe here.

[ ... ] If you'd like, you could sit with me a bit. Until your guardian picks you up, of course.

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

Technically he is; there isn't a law against it in Discedo, but I doubt the tenants of Marshall will be so pleased.

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

Legal right or not, he's being a complete nuisance. I'm surprised the other residents haven't come down to read him the riot act.

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

I doubt the other residents would know or remember the riot act at all--and, legally, it's not as if it would be of any use.

[mygodmyright.livejournal.com]

Even so, I can't let him get away with all of this without giving him a bit of hell.

[ a-ah oh gosh! I hope I can expectations ;w; and apologies for the late tag; I've been out most of the day ]

And before you say anything, I'm certainly not whinging because I'm upset he didn't ask me for help. That'd be stupid.
