video - 1st caw ~ just wing it

[bornunlucky]

So... Genessia, right?

[ The bored drawl belongs to a man looking just as bored sprawled on the bed of what is obviously one of the sparsely decorated bedrooms in Commonspace. His red eyes are his most striking feature, other than the bottle he is holding in his hand. Just at the edge of the camera, you can make out something which looks like a strange giant sword propped up against the wall. ]

The name's Qrow Branwen, and I hear having been snatched from another world is nothing unusual around here; it's not even a story that earns you a free drink. [ He takes a sip from the bottle. He does play the too cool for you card rather well, but if you look closely you might notice that he looks a little too wan and haggard, like someone who hasn't fully recovered from sickness yet. ] Now that makes it a pretty miserable place in my book, but I'm willing to let you prove me wrong.

First step would be telling me that Taiyang Xiao Long, Yang Xiao Long or Ruby Rose are here. Or Ozpin. Hearing from Ozpin would make this place better, too.

Step two is telling me where I can get a better drink, this swill's better suited to stripping paint.

Well look what the cat dragged in~

[That can't be Winter. Her hair is down, her clothes are casual, and most noticeable of all, she looks happy to see him. She's walking as she records, the crunch of snow under her boots audible. Occasionally he might see the edge of a taller person's shoulder cross into the field of vision as someone walks beside her.]

Yang and Taiyang are both here. Ruby and the professor are absent, I'm afraid.

But I'll have to answer more of your questions tomorrow. I'm on a date, and I don't want to be rude.

[bornunlucky]

[ Forget being smooth, he might, um, be fumbling that bottle a little.

But... Hell. Can't blame a man for that. Is he still running a fever, is this a hallucination? ]

Who are you and what did you do to Winter?

[liveandforgive]

[Cloud is also in the Commonspace for the time being, about a week into his stay here.]

I'm still trying to figure out how good or how bad this place is myself.

[says the guy that just got mugged by Yang. or who he thought was Yang. least he's healed up now.]

[bornunlucky]

Yeah, I've noticed people are a little bit strange here. Not sure if it's something in the water or...

[ He gives his bottle a suspicious look, shrugs and takes another sip. ]

Never mind that. The place is good enough if you ask me, could be worse. Nobody's tried to kill me yet.

[taifighter]

What took you so long?

[There's an exasperated edge in his voice, but that doesn't hide the dark circles or worry in his eyes. Everyone's started acting crazy Qrow and he has no idea why!

Also you look like you finally had one too many.]

[bornunlucky]

[ He grins, shrugs one shoulder. ]

Oh, you know how I am... There's always one more bar on the way and I can't resist...

[ Or getting poisoned and nearly dying. Same thing, really. ]

[orlokbutterfly]

If you need a drink in Genessia City, you can come on by to Hangar Queen.

Maybe I'll even be nice enough to make your first drink on the house.

[Generally that's what he does anyway for new customers. Whether he's a cyborg or human prince, he tends to be nice on that front.]

[bornunlucky]

[ Qrow flashes the man on the screen a lazy grin. ]

Now that's the kind of promise I like to hear... Free drinks are my favorite drinks.

You're Ruby's uncle, aren't you? Ruby and Ozpin aren't at the moment, but Yang is. [ There's a beat. She's going to try to not looking horribly unimpressed, but she can.. actually answer the bar question. ] After Life is a good place to get a drink if you're looking for a club, Jack's is good if you're looking for karaoke, Fairy Tail has a bar if you're looking for information or magic, and UF Lounge is good if you're looking for something new or experimental.

[ She doesn't drink much, okay, she doesn't want to become her mom. But she knows different places with bars- there are a few that are very useful. ]

If you're looking for a fight, The Drunken Monkey.

Also: A number of people are acting.. well, oddly right now. Including Winter and Jaune, so you'll have to bear with them until whatever's going on wears off.

[bornunlucky]

That's a lot of bars you know.

[ For a Schnee, all the more so. Good thing that Qrow isn't too bothered by her lack of enthusiasm, information is information. It's actually pretty funny to him, the entire thing, and he shows it with a lazy smirk - which might or might not aim to infuriate.

The grin dies quickly, though. ] I know they're acting strangely. I had a chat with your sister.

[desirers]

You figure that out, you'd better share.

[ She used to tend bar for the devil himself, buuuut she'd rather fight things now. She still hasn't gotten settled yet enough to find a place that sells the best drinks that hasn't like. Kicked her out. :( ]

[bornunlucky]

[ Getting kicked out of bars is a terrible fate, she has his sympathy. ]

You bet I will, as long as you promise to have a drink with me.

who the fuck is this douchebag

[bornunlucky]

I could ask the name.

Video

[ohthehughesmanity]

[Hughes stares at the camera, eyes narrowed and arms crossed, as he tries to read the man. Haggard expression, obviously drinks too much... Not a very good first impression, huh, Qrow?]

What do you want with Yang?

[He doesn't know her super well yet, but he's already fond of her, so his protective instincts have kicked in.]

[bornunlucky]

[ Qrow narrowes his eyes slightly at the man on the screen. This could be good or bad, he's undecided yet. ]

What is it to you what I want with her, hm?

[ He gives a lazy shrug. ]

There's nothing sinister at work, just a man wanting a family reunion.

[Video]

[alwaysimpaled]

I've heard the name Yang Xiao Long, so she's here. Dunno where though, been a while since I ran into her.

[There's a shrug.]

As for booze, I suggest Hangar Queen. Top shelf quality as well as the stuff to knock you on your ass. Scenery ain't half bad either. Tell 'em Dante sent ya and they may even give you a discount.

[bornunlucky]

[ Qrow looks rather solemn at the news. Yang being here is good, but... She should have contacted him by now. Something must be wrong for her to keep radio silence, even if that's just her still being stuck in her depression. ]

I'll look for Yang then, thank you. She's my niece.

I'll pay Hangar Queen a visit then, I won't say no to a discount. Gotta make these bills last. Where is it?

[heroes_never_die]

Not very often that someone looks to drink upon arriving here right away.

[Actually makes more sense to do so, but she hasn't seen it. Nonetheless, she's just teasing him a bit rather than an actual statement.]

Unfortunately, it's pretty common here at this point. I'm from a world called Earth, but I'm originally from Switzerland.

[bornunlucky]

Switzerland... never heard of it. I'm from the continent of Anima, but I'd wager that doesn't tell you anything.

[ He looks at the bottle he's holding and gives it a little shake to check how much is left. ]

Nothing better to do for now, might as well get drunk. I think getting kidnapped means life owes you one.

[ironwoody]

Qrow.

[hello my good man.]

I figured it would just be a matter of time before you showed up.

[bornunlucky]

Now that's a sight for sore eyes.

[ Qrow narrows his eyes at Ironwood. ]

As long as you're not acting weird, anyway. Any recent urges to run off and join the circus?

[blindpuppet]

There are a lot of places to drink with a lot of really nice things to drink. Pick your poison and I can name a place that you'll find it.

[Enis glances at the screen before looking down at whatever she's doing at her desk.]

For example, if you want rum or beer I'd hit up the Drunken Monkey. If you want otherworldly like drinks there is a bar and Night Club in Nova City that's fun. I think they also have a more tame branch here in Genessia.

[So maybe she spends to much time at bars.]

[bornunlucky]

Sounds like you're something of an expert.

[ He doesn't sound disapproving at all, though maybe a little amused. ]

I'll just have to bow to your expertise then, hm? I've heard that Drunken Monkey is a good place to go if you're looking for trouble, too. Makes it the most interesting place to be around here, though I'm curious about these otherworldly drinks.

( video ) forward dated past the au event if that's okay!!

[polearity]

( more people from remnant? and if she remembered right, this was... )

Ah, Qrow, wasn't it? Or... I'm not sure, do you prefer Mr. Qrow maybe? I'm sorry, we didn't really get much of a chance to speak in the Professor's office that time...

sure sure!

[bornunlucky]

Pyrrha...

[ It comes out in a whisper, Qrow actually fumbling his bottle and looking exactly like a man who has just seen a ghost. ]

You're alive.

[Video]

[rando_dork]

I know Yang's around here.

She's kind of my roommate. She's been a little off lately though.

Re: [Video]

[bornunlucky]

Okay. That sounds perfectly ominous.

[ After what he has seen of Winter, and heard about Jacques Schnee... ]

Off in what way? Is she giving people teddy bears?
