MEGA-THREAD

GAMES AND PRIZES

SCHEDULED END: MID-TO-LATE MARCH

WELCOME TO RITUAL!

AN OPEN INVITATION has circulated on social media, inviting all to join ritual in their first official game night. it’s questionably vague. perhaps this is strategic. maybe it’s reason to be cautious. while some express excitement, and confirm ‘going’, others opt to comment in reference to last year’s event:[break][break]

’don’t forget a fire extinguisher!’ says one. ’good luck!’ reads another. additionally, more comment on the ’weird change in atmosphere lately’. ritual’s become ’sketchy’, and 'is it even still under the same ownership?’[break][break]

while criminal types in the know tend to take to the speakeasy below (its entrance hidden within the complex tunnel system), many have opted to enter through the main doors instead to participate in the public event. [break][break]

bartender Caprice Isaac , should he be working, will find himself tending to a much larger crowd than usual—but other new faces are present behind the bar as well.[break][break]

pool is free. fancy pizza has been ordered. guests and their pokémon are mingling, many on the various black leather seating, playing cards on low tables. cigars smoke from sparkling crystal ashtrays. [break][break]

it’s a fancy lounge with an old appeal, and while the drinks are especially cheap this evening, make no mistake: the top shelf is tippy top. treat yourself.[break][break]

bar owner virgil roach approaches a microphone, a cubone at his feet. behind him on the wall hangs a banner, announcing: 'CLUB APOGEE, OPENING THIS SUMMER. BOTTLE SERVICE. VIP ROOMS. INFINITY POOL. ACROSS FROM THE GOLDEN PYROAR CASINO & RESORT IN BEACHFRONT SLATEPORT.’[break][break]

the screech of feedback stops many conversations, and his drawl follows over the speakers, ”howdy, ya’ll. hope yer havin’ a good night, ‘n came ready t’ play some games. we’ll be startin’ in a few minutes, so getchyer drinks ‘n get ready for some charades.”[break][break]

he replaces the microphone and steps away, cubone following as he sips a whiskey.

RITUAL GAME NIGHT

AN ANNUAL TRADITION

FERNANDO’S INVITE finds a different medium than the others. the victor of the RITUAL POOL TOURNAMENT gets a private invitation, a compliment to last year’s showing and his impeccable stroke game. it should come as no surprise when he actually shows up.

a pair of thin, black sunglasses line the bridge of his nose. for an event of this nature, he tries to keep himself as lowkey as someone of his INFAMY can muster. his head is kept down up until he finds a spot at the bar, alone, and disinterested.

“whatever your well’s ane—”

he stops himself short. the vile distaste of sootopolis hits well before he has a chance to smell any liquor.

“whatever pinap beer you have. i’m not picky.”

a cold one is cracked open, carbonation bubbling, as fernando slides his card over to open up a tab. he gives a small nod of thanks before turning around to face virgil roach when he addresses the crowd. eyes flirt over the advertisement behind him, silently approving another business venture in slateport.

every day they look more and more like lilycove. a fine sentiment to have considering all the hell they city’s been though.

but there’s still a lot to do. after all, saffron wasn’t built in a day. there’s more work to be done to get the city to transform into his city.

Ordinarily, Gavin keeps to the speakeasy beneath the bar where he can enter undisguised and enjoy all the privileges of a Rocket underboss in such a seedy establishment. Today, however, he ventures above.

Hair longer than usual, chestnut brown and tied back away from his face. Eyes grey in place of gold.

A hot flush of anger at the sight of FERNANDO SILPH is held at bay only by the desire to avoid making a scene. Thomas Finnegan didn't have a sister, so the desire to crush the councilman's skull is Gavin's alone.

He sits further down the bar.

"Surprise me," he drawls in a bored tone. "Whatever you think's your best brew."

He's here to watch, to listen, to learn.

Okay, if there was something Adam hadn’t exactly… revealed outright it was the fact that he had quite a streak when it came to… gambling.

But see, here’s the thing.

He’d been out of practice for quite a while, so…

Figured, why not come down to something like this and see if he can get the ‘spark’ going again. Of course, he needed a few games to warm up—

Thankfully, he’d come into some money, but he was hanging onto it like a fucking vise and would only drop as much as he needed to.

So for now, he lurked somewhere near one side of the bar, people-watching as he downed another shot.

Drowning in his jacket, Memo shuffles in. He smooths his locs down to the side and crosses the threshold into the bar, spinning his phone artfully in his palm. Behind his black, locked screen he has the invite webpage open from his twitter, and a couple screenshots of it in his photobank, just in case anyone comes at him asking him what he’s doing here. He does a good job of pretending like he belongs, but he wants to cover his bases, just in case.

In truth it was the string of comments that really grabbed his attention, beyond the fact that he was in the area and looking for a place to go. From what he could glean, the last time anything had happened at this bar, it was a hell of a time.

It smells like smoke and the cozy aura is punctuated with the clinking of glasses and a gentle rumble of voices. Memo passes beneath the gazes of most of the other guests-- short king status-- and scans the various offerings of card games and bar activities. He considers his options, seating himself on a leather-capped barstool with a lazy half-spin.

Elbows on the bar, he looks up and down for a menu. “What d’you have on tap?” he asked the tender, who furrows their brows and looks Memo up and down. ID, they mouth, and Memo, who is acutely aware he often looks like a child pretending to be an adult-- in fact, that’s frequently what he’s aiming for-- rolls his eyes and fishes his trainer card (complete with League cadet membership stamp!) from a chest pocket. The barkeep returns it to him after a prompt scan, and rattles off a list of beers from memory. “The Aspear sour,” Memo confirms, trading his ID for his credit card to open his tab.

A screech of feedback cuts through the air and silences the gentle din. A man in an exuberant cowboy hat with a scratchmarked face announces welcome and explains the first game will be charades.

Memo spun his stool the full way round, leaning back against his elbows on the bar. “Reckon we’re not deep enough in it for charades, eh?” he asks nonchalantly, tapping his glass with a half-gloved finger, to the ruffle-headed blonde at the end of the bar to his right. “Bit of an off choice.”

It’s been a while since she sat at this bar. It felt good to be back. Honestly, it was the first place that felt like home when she moved to Hoenn. Moving from Slateport and diving into the depths of the organization had left her with very little free time. Of course, she still worked with virgil roach, but she hadn’t spent much time topside.

Lex is one, maybe two, deep at this point. The empty glass glides gently from her fingertips and into the hand of the waiting hand of the bartender, “Another, please,” Ruby lips curl into a pleasant smile as her eyes drift up towards the top shelf. The bartender pours the whiskey and Lex happily takes the glass.

“Well, if it isn’t the reigning champ,” she smiles, leaning casually to face FERNANDO SILPH. Lex too had participate dint he pool tournament. Unlike Fernando, she was out the first round. Made a pretty terrible show of herself, “I’m comin’ for ya, this time.”]

FERNANDO SILPH ’s shades might have helped obscure him from eyes that weren’t expecting him to be there, but roach made note. he was heading over when a familiar mane of red beat him there. Alexandra Briarwood . weird seeing her up here.

roach didn’t remember that the two had competed together. he’d drank since then. he watched them with skillful subtlety for just a moment, amused and wondering how they knew each other.

instead of interrupting, he stopped behind the bar to top off his glass. he raised it at them with a smile, if they saw, and then went to do some more wandering. there would be a better time.

Mars? At a seedy bar? Most people would believe someone like him doesn’t belong in a place like this, but of course, most people also don’t know of the time spent at the speakeasy down below or the recent private poker game which both him and the owner of the establishment took part in (except virgil roach has apparently been telling things like those to people like luka chêne. Not like Mars really minds, of course, since connections can easily be explained if needed).
[break][break]
Unlike some, he doesn’t bother with keeping his identity a secret, but he’s also dressed much more casually than if he were here for business. A rarity for Mars, just like the fact that he steps into the building through the main entrance just like anyone.
[break][break]
The moment he does, eyes of a warm amber shade wander over his surroundings, already recognizing a few of the people there. He spares a nod in greeting towards FERNANDO SILPH and Alexandra Briarwood as he approaches the bar, but he chooses not to interrupt the conversation of the unlikely pair.
[break][break]
Instead, he sits near someone he probably wouldn’t have recognized if he didn’t see him often.
[break][break]
”Long hair suits you.” An all too quiet comment said with a smirk, his attention then immediately turning towards the bartender.
[break][break]
”Gin. Neat. Give me the best you got.”
[break][break]
Unlike last time when he ordered whiskey because he worried about the drink’s quality, this time he trusts virgil roach’s top shelf, nodding towards the black market dealer in greeting just as he makes his order.

Perhaps, this is a little irresponsible of her - To have closed up shop for the week and set off on a trip to Slateport to recuperate from the stresses lurking within Sootopolis... And to find herself visiting a bar of all places...
[break][break]
Thinking back, the promise of a game night had been the sole thing to draw her in, nothing more, nothing less. But now that she gets into the venue and takes a look around, she finds herself sorely intimidated and drawn to the corners of the room. Skirting around the edges of the party, she nervously eyes the bartop and spies a familiar figure, quickly scampering over without a second thought.
[break][break]
"Mars! I didn't expect to see you here?" She calls, an awkward smile dancing across her lips as she looks to his partner and gives a quick nod. "Am I... interrupting?"

It shouldn't surprise him that some among Rocket know him well enough to see through the façade; he offers Martín del Mar an appraising glance, nevertheless, and tips his glass toward him.

"What gave me away?"

Whatever Mars might've said in answer is doubtless silenced in the presence of someone whom Gavin does not know. Not Rocket, then, he suspects, or if she is she's not high enough in their ranks to have caught his attention.

"You're fine," he assures amaryllis karneva easily enough. He smiles. "I'm Finn."

“I at least don’t want to get plastered too early,” he replied in his usual drawl, looking over to the familiar-sounding accent he’d heard from somewhere to his left (the other’s right) and raising his shot glass in greeting.

“I’m here for the card games if there’s going to be any later. I reckon they’re starting out small first,” he observed as he set his empty shot glass down and knocked on the counter, before sliding a couple bills across the table for another refill.

“You from somewhere up north?” he ventured. If he had to guess, it was either Wyndon or—Circhester? He hadn’t been home in years, so his memory of the place was rather fuzzy.

He also wondered if the other would be able to tell he was also from Galar.

“M’name’s Adam,” he added a few moments later.

“Better keep that bottle open.” An empty glass glides across the bar counter to join Alexandra Briarwood 's own. “I'll have what she's having.”

Angelo is already one double deep, but after a long couple of days keeping his eyes sharp in the air, there's nothing like Ritual's whisky collection to loosen the senses.

And paired with the competitive atmosphere humming pleasantly in the background, it promises to only be the beginning.

Slipping into the seat besides the woman kissed by red, Angelo gives her a slight tilt of his amber filled glass in wordless appreciation before it burns the back of his throat.

He's quick to note that on her other side, sits the ever familiar figure of FERNANDO SILPH . His sunglasses fooling no one. Should've brought a newspaper to complete the look.

Elbow casually leaning against the bar counter, Angelo turns in towards Alexandra Briarwood and Silph. All three were at the fateful tournament last year.

“Look who it is. Good to see I'm not the only return act.”

As the redhead aptly spits competitive fire, Angelo lets out an exhale of amusement against the rim of his glass, sharp smile peeking shamelessly beneath the crystal.

“Watch your back, champ. Sounds like charades is her game.”

Who brings an infant to a bar scene? Remi. Remi brings an infant to a bar scene.

Beneath unsuspecting feet, a clumsy Teddiursa wobbles this way and that. She is mischievous, tying and untying shoelaces, stripping over heavy boots, getting in the way or narrowly missing being stepped on. While Remi, on the other hand, is playing up a confident, flirty smirk while pressing her hips to the bar.

It is the man behind the counter- no, not the blonde (sorry Caprice Isaac, if you're the blonde)- that has her full attention. Roach's earlier announcement regarding charades and his sudden interest as it flickered across the bar to settle on another man had captured her interest. Not that it was difficult, she'd always had a soft spot for the man.

"Huh, didn't take you for the sausage type, there, Roach. You messin' around behind my back?"

Currently, she remains drinkless. But just as quickly as Roach steals her attention, a familiar, grating voice pulls her away. The woman sits upright, brows coming together to narrow and wrinkle her forehead. She leers down the length of the bar when she catches sight of one Mr. angelo vestri.

Great. Just what Ritual needed, a cocky bastard. Charades was bound to be fun.

RITUAL GAME NIGHT

AN ANNUAL TRADITION

FOX SLIT EYES widen when called upon. fernando says nothing at first, content with bringing his can up to his lips. when the jeer registers, it strums a laugh from deep within his chest, muddled by the liquid drowning out the air that struggles to surface.

“mmhm,” he hums in agreeance, swallowing. the soft ‘ahh’ of his breathe is buried under recognition.

Killian Decker’s girl. that’s how he recognizes lex considering how long ago the HOENN STAR TOURNAMENT was. their minor stint in sootopolis leaves her unnoticed, hidden away in the battle’s frantic chaos. instead, fernando knows her through their mutual companion: the rat.

“i’m sure you will. last year was all luck.”

fernando is all humility and lies. the gleam of his smile believes in her, and truthfully, there’s some fact to that basis. he’s hardly an expert at pool. but, when your opponent can lose through their own actions, a lucky eight ball crowns him champion.

“here’s to winning this years then.” his can comes up to meet virgil roach’s as he joins them for a silent toast.

Martín del Mar cuts into his line-of-sight off the to side but he gets ignored under the assumption that the nod is meant for someone else. eyes pass onto Cillian Quinn but fernando pays him little mind. he can’t recognize him behind his well fabricated disguise.

just another aimless joe smoozing it up at the bar, right?

the way angelo vestri cuts in is as smooth as his drink. polished and clear, all with the same sting. it goes without saying, “but i expect vestri to give you hell for it.”

GAMES AND PRIZES

SCHEDULED END: MID-TO-LATE MARCH

CORNNHOLE

”miss remi, i would never mess around behind yer back—least not in front o' this many people.” roach pours Remi Cassel a whiskey, handing it to her with a wink before walking off.[break][break]
soon, he's at the mic again.[break][break]
“i’ve been told by one o’ my bartenders that there’r some problems with my topics. so, instead of charades, we’ll be playin’ cornnhole first.”[break][break]
the game is set up, and roach and cubone approach one of the boards. ”allow us t’ demonstrate.”[break][break]

a cornn bag is picked up off of a stack to the side. ”ready, boomer?” he asks.[break][break]

the cubone looks ready, and roach tosses the bag low. boomer jumps, sending it flying with a fancy HEADBUTT.[break][break]

there's a yelp of surprise as the airborne cornn bag brushes past someone’s hair on the way to the other board. roach doesn't seem to hear it, raising his glass to conclude his presentation as he ushers in the next player.

RULES GUIDELINES

INSTRUCTIONS

please refer to page one for game night rules. there are no sign-ups.[break][break]

there are two boards located twenty-seven feet from each other in the bar. each has a hole that your character and their pokémon will try to get a hand-sized bag of dried cornn berries into from the opposite side.[break][break]

write an ic post of your character and their pokémon playing the game.
use one pokémon move for flavor.
roll twice.[break][break]
* first roll determines your team. evens are blue, odds are red. second roll represents how well your character and their pokémon did. (this is not your final score for the round)

SCORING

the mean/average score will be calculated for each team at the end of the round, since teams will likely be lopsided.
the losing team’s average will be subtracted from the winning team’s average. the remainder will be the total that the winning team’s participants will add to their overall score. the losing team will not gain any points. example:[break][break]
SPOILER: Click to show
team blue scores: 34, 67, 23, 89 = 53 pt average[break]
team red scores: 24, 78, 11 = 38 pt average [break][break]
blue team wins. [break][break]
53 – 38 = 15 pts to blue team players for the round.
the highest overall roll, regardless of team, will keep all of their individual roll and win the round.
prize: regular gacha roll.
