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?"

Desmond sighs, smiling. He should've guessed this might happen. Still, he slaps a few juulan on the bar, putting his bandaged right hand next to it to rest. "That'll work, though in the future, you might wanna consider lying. Someone asks for something you can't get? Just give 'em close enough, and lie. You'll get a lot more business that way."

Desmond had never really had to lie at Bad Weather, except for those times when they'd run out of whatever name brand liquor was popular at the time during happy hour, but that hardly counted as "lying", considering their usual clientle.

Jackie smiles ruefully. "Yeah, got it. 'Case you can't tell, I'm kinda new at this.

"On the rocks, or neat?"

Desmond laughs, as if it wasn'the obvious. "It's all right. Everyone starts somewhere, right? If you need any help, don'the hesitate to ask. I tended bar for years back home, so I know my way around."

And without a moment's hesitation.

"Neat, and keep 'em coming."

That actually gave Jackie pause. "Really? You looking for a job?"

He poured, and put the whiskey-ish drink down on the bar. "'Cause right now it's just me and Leo, and the closest thing either of us have to experience is me basically growing up in the back room of a restaurant."

Desmond mulled this over for a few seconds. If the allowance he'd been given was any indication, money was definitely a thing he would need here, as would information. Ever an Assassin, the opportunity for eavesdropping loomed in his mind.

"Wasn't really looking, but if you're offering...I'm your guy. Cheers."

Desmond raises his glass, before taking his first swallow of the not-whiskey. While Desmond was far from a liquor aficionado, he knew good booze when he tasted it, and this was pretty decent booze.

"This is surprisingly not bad. What's it distilled from?"
