Who: Tannusen and whoever!
What: Planned threads: Telsen gets a job, Bracken meets a tiger. Other shenanigans also welcome!
When: After the cure's out for the Quiet Minds event. Tannu was... occupied, during that.
Where: Genessia City - Velvet Lust (Please read that link if you're gonna tag in!)
Warnings: Will add if any are needed.

Tannusen arrived at his bar before the sun began to go down, taking chairs down off of tables downstairs, prepping the first batch of steaks, and stocking the bar with freshly-cleaned glassware from the kitchen. For the first time in a while, he stayed behind the bar when the sun went down and the 'open' sign flickered to life, instead of retreating upstairs or completely ducking out of sight.

He was under no obligation to stay there, of course, but the regular bartender certainly didn't mind the help as the usual crowd started to trickle in. The boss had been scarce, lately; perhaps things were returning to normal, now. Besides, Tannusen never took anything from the tip jar. It was win-win!

Tannusen chuckled at that, "I suppose so. I'm not complaining, by the time one half of me stopped breathing the damage was pretty... extensive."

"So didya break all the bones in his whole face or somethin'? I heard that if one of ya died both of ya did so it ain't like ya got ta celebrate winnin' very long.

Man I'm glad that crap didn't happen ta me, I don't know who'd win that fight."

"Yeah, this happened before the announcement. No one had any idea what was going on when that fight broke out," Tannusen regarded Kani for a moment, "you think you'd have fought yourself? To the death?"

As far as he knew it, he was the only one around with a 'good' side that would play that particular game. After all, the split hadn't created anything that wasn't already there. Neither side had suddenly found murder abhorrent, nor the idea of killing -- or otherwise badly hurting -- himself.

One side had had worse plans than murder.

"Who won?" May as well ask. As for the question, he hummed a bit, playing with the water in his glass. "Well I dunno. I ain't never met me before. I mean sure sure, I don't think I'd be too crazy about an unpleasant me or nuthin'. I guess I'll never hafta know now though, huh?"

"I did, of course," come on Kani, what answer were you really expecting? "And you never know, maybe someone will turn that crap into an aerosol and go around spraying people in the face with it."

[brinewitch]

"Yeah yeah, but evil you or good you?" Yeah he knows this game, ask direct questions.

"Well I think that'd be more obvious than dumpin' it in the water supply, pretty sure he wouldn't be able ta keep doin' that fer too long."

"I don't know, I think he'd have gotten more people before the news got out," Tannusen shrugged, "I think only a handful of 'real' people were even effected."

As for the question, the tiger almost didn't answer at all. But, hell, it wasn't like he liked himself enough to really avoid the subject. "The 'good' side ripped the other one's throat out. The 'bad' side had worse plans than murder."

The memories were so smushed together it was hard to decipher which side had been which, honestly, except for that singular point.
