What's a king bowing to a dark god?

Characters: Gene, Jackie, Deon, Peridot, and yooouuuu!
Date: Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! And all the other May days aside.
Location: Keeliai and Tavimbi
Situation: The Struggle
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as they arise.

A. [Gene] throughout Keeliai | past the first week of May onwards | open
Gene is continuing to be his political self, gladhanding among the kedan and putting his unique skills of gang interaction to use to put together the nascent police force. But when he thinks nobody's watching, he looks pensive - especially over tea in one of the many teahouses, which he seems to frequent more often of late. Better than alcohol, at least?

B. [Jackie] the Golden Koi | throughout May | open
After the attack last month, Jackie doesn't go anywhere without someone else. The rogue Snakes aren't going to attack him unless he's alone. But at least his bar seems to be doing decent business, even if he's still operating at a loss for now. That part's worrying him. But he tries not to let it show, even to Leo.

C. [Peridot] Keeliai and Tavimbi | throughout May | open
Peridot, meanwhile, is continuing to scavenge. She wants to rebuild her limb enhancers, or something like them, after her talk with Bisi...and maybe something nice for Shay. She's haggling with merchants and, due to her short temper, often getting very annoyed. There's something amusing about a tiny green dorito getting mad at someone twice her size.

D. [Deon] the College | throughout May | open
The College is a safe zone for Deon, who's still wary of working on any pet projects at Stark Industries. Tetravaal had made him too leery of that. He can often be found in one of the labs, working on a design for a robot, or hand-writing some code to make sure he's got it right.

E. [Gene] House Spicy Iron Dragon | late April-first week of May | closed to Tony and Pepper
Gene has decided to live as a bed from now on.

Zhang's arrival had really shaken him up. What he'd done to Zhang had shaken him up more, when he'd had the chance to think about it instead of acting in anger. When he's not living as a bed, he's building a little stone shrine in the back garden where he's buried the extra purple ring and set up the framed photograph of his mother, and when it's done, sitting in front of it, burning incense and thinking.

F. [Jackie] the Dojo | early May | closed to Brigid
Jackie had said he'd wanted to learn Krav Maga from Brigid, and he'd gotten the chance to get some floor time from Valdis, when not too many people would be around to watch her wipe the floor with him.

He smiles at her when she walks in. "You ready?"

G. [Deon] the Hotel | early May | closed to Vincent
There was one thing that Deon had to do to make sure he and Vincent were on the level: namely, return the laptop he had found. It was Vincent's laptop, after all. He knocks on the door, the laptop tucked under his arm. "Vincent?"

That makes Jackie laugh a little. "You probably shouldn't say that, I'm new at this, so I might come up with something pretty out there."

And he does - it's the local beer equivalent, dark and bready like Guinness, mixed with a little dry wine.

"If it's crap, I'll make you something normal."

Bakura returns a grin at Jackie. "Ahkhekhu, if you only knew some of the things that were considered normal to eat and drink at one time..."

He takes a sip of the brew, pausing at the wine aftertaste; wine had never been his favourite. But after the initial hesitation, he took another drink, and then nodded. "Not bad," he said.

"So what was the inspiration for this place?"

Jackie smiles at the faint praise - 'not bad' wasn't 'garbage juice', so, that was something.

"I kinda grew up in the back room of a restaurant," he says. "So I learned a little about how to run one, but there's no way I can cook, and I know Korra used to run a bar. Since she's been gone, we haven't had any run by Foreigners, so I figured, hey, why not? There are worse ways to go legit."

He leans against the bartop. "As for the name, it's the same as the old restaurant. Kind of a tribute to home, I guess, since I know I can't go back."

Bakura's mouth thins just a bit at the mention of Korra; he and the Avatar hadn't gotten along since she'd found out he was not really Ryou and exploded at him for it. But the expression disappears a moment later, when he realizes just how long it's been since she was even in Keeliai. He can hold grudges with the best of them, but sometimes it's just pointless to do so.

"Did the Merchant's Guild have their hand in this too?" he asked. "And are the Snakes still giving you trouble?"

The thief nods at the reasoning behind the name choice... he knew what it was like not to be able to return. "As do I."
