Mary Winchester | 11 | [Action/Video]

[was_a_hunter]

[Mary was more than ready for a normal (or semi normal) day. Seeing that there was no need to worry for anyone here and the boys were enjoying themselves...she decided to actually go and enjoy herself for a change. Especially after the last plot, she was pleased to see that there was actual food here. After a day of shopping, dancing, and general sight seeing, she was ready to relax at a local pub for a bit. Setting up at a table out of the way, Mary was enjoying some chicken, bread pudding...and you guessed it. Beer. It may not have been a relaxing tea or white wine, but she could hold her own as far as alcohol went.

Raising her hand to get the bartenders attention, she motioned to her empty mug, her voice carrying over the noise in the pub.]

Another.

[Waiting on her beer, she was already planning what else she'd be doing...perhaps she'd just turn in and relax in her room after this. Well, that was the plan if nothing more interesting came along.

She still hadn't noticed the feed was on and even if she did...she probably wouldn't care. She was having fun for the first time in what felt like ages and she wouldn't let anyone ruin it for her.]

[Iroh himself is at the same pub, sampling each of the beers on taps in small amounts. He's accumulated a number of shot-sized glasses in front of him but seems to have finally settled on one drink.

Seeing someone he recognizes, he makes his way down the crowded pub to Mary.]

Hello there. Enjoying yourself?

[was_a_hunter]

[Ah, a familiar and very welcome face. Waving a hand in the direction of the seat across from her, Mary welcomed him to join her. After all, what is better than relaxing with friends?]

In abundance~

And yourself? I know that I can't be the only one taking advantage of the festivities~.

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Iroh takes a seat on the stool next to Mary.]

I find this wonderful. I've had plenty of drinks before back home, but this, this...

[He takes a sip of his beer.]

I've never had anything quite like this, and I find myself quite enjoying it. This entire culture seems wonderful.

[was_a_hunter]

Mm. I know what you mean.

[Accepting the new beer from the bartender, she nodded in thanks.]

This culture is more than wonderful after this hellish month. It's a godsend is what it is.

But I better not hear that you haven't even left the pub~. As good as this is, there are more exciting aspects that the alcohol.

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Such a lively place, and such friendly people too! I admire their tastes in food too, and music and dancing.

[He leans closer to her and drops his voice to a dramatic whisper.]

I am not one to judge, but I do find their clothing a bit strange.

[He straightens, and gives her a wink before taking another sip of his beer.]

I've only just arrived at this pub! Er, relatively speaking, but I have seen much more of this festival, and I intend to see more later. Perhaps you'd care to join me?

[was_a_hunter]

Hell, I'm just glad they're people and not...you know, the things we've been dealing with.

[Tilting her head when he leaned in, his words caused her to chuckle into her beer. Strange or not, she could overlook it as long as things stayed this amazing.]

Look on the bright side, at least we're not having to dress like them~.

[Raising a brow at his suggestion, she nods after a moment. She had been planning on relaxing after all this, but who was she to deny such a request?]

I would love to. As fun as this is, I imagine it can only get better with real company, hmm?

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

I should think so. Wonderful.

[He takes another long sip and sighs happily.]

I know this will not last, but I wish it would. This has been very pleasant.

[was_a_hunter]

Pleasant isn't the word for it...it's been almost heavenly.

[The relaxing atmosphere, how helpful the false people had been. She wouldn't want it to last forever though, she rather enjoyed the quietness of the manor.]

I'm almost ready to go back to the manor though...as long as nothing tries to kill us. As soon as we're back, I think I'm going to sleep for a month.

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

A sound plan. I feel like I've been running around far too much lately. These old bones aren't used to so much action.

[Katherine had been sitting on her own with her beer (her first one, alcohol didn't always have a positive effect on her so she was being careful to take it slowly) when her blackberry book chimes, indicating a message. When Katherine looks at the video feed she recognizes the background as being the same bar she's in, so she uses the visual data to locate the woman the feed belongs to.]

Hey. [A shy smile.] I think your blackberry's watching you. Not sure that you meant it to.

[was_a_hunter]

[Looking up as the girl informed her about the blackberry, Mary gave an embarrassed chuckle as she saw that she was indeed being watched and that no, she didn't realize it until now.]

Ah, thank you. It tends to do that at the oddest times, I'm not really sure why.

[namednotdeath.livejournal.com]

[Katherine frowns, she doesn't find that a comfortable thought.]

I don't really know anything about it, but I didn't intend to be...visually eavesdropping. Are you from the manor?

[was_a_hunter]

[She used to share the girls sentiments, but lately she'd seen that things could be far worse than someone viewing you without your knowledge.]

I know you didn't, it's just something that happens from time to time. There's nothing to worry about.

Mm. I am. I suppose that means you are as well...and since you didn't know that bit about the phones, it must mean that you haven't been there for long.

[namednotdeath.livejournal.com]

[It seems to Katherine that there's rather a lot of things to worry about in regards to the manor.]

I haven't. Phones? I thought it was called a BlackBerry.

[That's what it says on it, after all.]

[was_a_hunter]

[Oh dear~ It seems she confused the poor girl.]

I was confused as well at first. It seems that Blackberry is a type of phone or something to that effect. I've heart it called both, but honestly...phone is less confusing for me.

[namednotdeath.livejournal.com]

[A blank stare. Katherine doesn't know what a phone is. She's trying, though, and not knowing what it is hasn't prevented her from learning how to use it.]

...It's certainly not a fruit. That I'm sure of.

[was_a_hunter]

[...Chuckling softly, Mary just shook her head.]

No...no it's not.

Okay, so...you're from somewhere without phones apparently?

It's just a device you use to talk with people over distances. Granted, the ones I'm used to aren't quite this advanced.

[It took him all day, but he got there. and seeing the video in the current happy haze he'd managed to settle into, it seemed like a great idea to go find his mom.

Well, it would have been a great idea anyway, but it certainly wouldn't have taken as long. eventually, he found it. He ordered his next drink, and came and sat next to her with a grin.]

This place is awesome.

[was_a_hunter]

[Well, she certainly wasn't about to tell Dean to go away~. She was actually glad to see him; just seeing that they were safe on the video wasn't enough to completely sate her curiosity about how they were.

As he sat beside her, she returned his grin with a smile.]

When I woke up, I certainly wasn't expecting this...not that I'm complaining~. [She waved in thanks at the bartender as a fresh drink was set in front of her.] Thank you.

[100deaths-a-day.livejournal.com]

October sucked. [he nods slightly, more to himself. He raised his glass slightly] To a hell of a better November, hm?

[was_a_hunter]

Now that is the first thing I've heard in weeks that makes perfect sense. [Not that things would have to do much to be better than October...things could also be worse. Raising her glass, she chuckles softly at his toast.] To getting back to as normal as the manor will let us.

[100deaths-a-day.livejournal.com]

[Even in his drunken haze, he has the little moment of oh crap, mom doesn't know about me, but it's quickly forgotten.]

I can drink to that. [He chuckles] What've you done today?

[was_a_hunter]

I've done what any sane person should do when presented with all of this. I've enjoyed it. Shopping, dancing with the locals...I almost hope this doesn't end.

[Almost. As fun as this was, it would get boring after a while.]

What about you? Tell me that you haven't just been drinking all day.

[100deaths-a-day.livejournal.com]

[He gives a slightly sheepish grin] Maybe?

[was_a_hunter]

Deeeeean~

You should at least see some of the sights around town. There's more to this place than bar wenches in low blouses. [Yes, she knew the sights you've been enjoying.]
