Oh for crying out loud-- fine, just don't let it get too out of hand.

[ He stops halfway to round over towards Flynn. How many mugs did the bastard drink anyway?! Of course, he can't say those guys aren't asking for it. They were being obnoxious like those guild leaders. Clearly, Yuri had grown up a lot more than he originally thought he did. ]

Oi Flynn! What were you thinking?! This isn't like you.

[ He went straight over to pull the blond back. ]

Talk about taking my job...

[ He muttered under his breath. He seriously was going to take this outside but clearly this wasn't a thing anymore. He can't really blame Flynn since he would be outrageous enough to start a fight if he didn't hold back. ]

[It seems all of them are completely flabbergasted. Rukia in particular had been ready to give the table of ill-reputes a severe scolding for speaking so disrespectfully of people who had willingly sacrificed their lives and their worlds on the belief that the Calamity could be reasoned with. It was because of them that they had half a chance this day of saving Crystallis. They probably would have objected, told her to butt out, maybe made a disparaging remark about her height, and then she'd stomp on someone's head.]

[Flynn saw fit to skip past all of that and just deck the guy. Out of everyone at their table, he was the one she'd thought would have the coolest head. She's wrong, and will learn to never make such assumptions ever again.]

Wha...?

[The people at the table are staring as well. The man to Flynn's left is the first who manages to close his jaw, and he jumps out of his chair to push up his sleeve.]

'Hey, chump, what do you--'

[Rukia shoves his chair roughly against the back of his legs to force him to sit hard again, and his teeth click as he's hit by surprise. But she's only one person, and the people at the table are many as they regain their composure. Someone in the back of the bar suddenly hollers 'BAR FIGHT!!!']

[Almost immediately, chairs and steins begin flying through the air from every single person.]

[Sparks had been sitting off by himself, attempting to keep away from a lot of the Heroes. Trying to mind his own business. It was working just fine until that battle cry for a bar fight and the whole place erupted into chaos. For a moment, he watched it all take off, quietly trying to finish his drink when a mug sailing across the room knocked it out of his hand and sent it shattering.

Well that wasn't going to do. He stood up and scanned the crowd, brow furrowed. Anyone who knows Sparks might assume that the high-ranking police officer might try to break this up and start hauling folks off. Instead, he jumps right into the fray by grabbing one of the nearby fighters, spinning him around, and clocking him on the jaw.

Dang, that felt good. Time to blow off some steam, the old-fashioned way.]

[There was at least one person in the original party that really didn't want to get into anymore trouble and that person happened to be the youngest of their motley crew. Selphie had wanted to eat dinner and talk with her friends and with that plan up in smoke, she could at least enjoy the rest of her dinner. Selphie picked up her plate and fork and had opted for sitting under the table, out of harms way.

She'd only managed a few bites when someone decided to be brave. Drunk, stupid and brave.]

Well hey there, you must be lonely under there by yourself...

[And there went the drunk, of whom Selphie could smell the booze, putting a hand on her leg and winking a little too suggestively for comfort. At first, Selphie blushed a bright shade of pink at the offer before she's shoving the rest of her very hot meal in the perpetrators face and sealing her refusal with a hearty kick.]

Say that again, I dare you!

[Selphie loomed over the drunkard, hands on her hips and sending her best death glare at the idiot as he tumbled backwards into a nearby pillar.]

[Flynn was pissed. He had never really let loose in his life, and now seemed as good of a time as any. Why did he always have to be the logical one, the sane one, the sober one, the moral compass, while everyone else did whatever they damn well pleased? Wanting to tell off those exactly what he thought of their callous behavior and words, letting his fists do the talking, the hell with the rules... his fist throbbed a bit, but he felt alive. And the alcohol did a pretty good job in conjunction with the adrenaline of masking whatever pain was caused by the blow.]

That the best you got?!

[Flynn was subject to a few blows in the interim, but he didn't let that stop him as blood dribbled down from his nostril. Getting lost in the moment, he grabbed a nearby bottle of beer, smashed the edge against the table, and brandished his weapon.]

Come on. Make my day.

Jeez!

[ Yuri shouted as she dodged another guy trying to pull his hair. He flips him over as quickly as he attempted to touch him. He then dodged a guy with a chair hauling at him. The swordsman sends the bastard flying with a smack of his sheath connecting with the drunk’s gut and he smashes into the table, destroying it as he landed. Damn it now he lost track of Flynn. Yuri stomped past a couple more people as he rushed to restrain his best friend. Of course, fate wouldn’t be on his side.

Yuri caught sight of Rukia first and clobbers the guy that tried to jump her the minute he had that thought. ]

Can a guy actually enjoy his meal for once without having to deal with this?! Of course not, cuz we’re going to be dealing with a bunch of hooligans regardless of where they are. Talk about—whoa!

[ And another get gets flipped because Yuri’s not having it. ]

DAMN IT FLYNN!

[ He’s going to make his way past everyone now to get to Flynn while he saw another familiar face that he’s seen around. Wasn’t that guy a --- cop? Well let’s not question that as he dodged the fight and kept moving. ]

…

[ And now Selphie was being harassed. Well looks like he’s speed walking over to the bastards and needless to say they were flying across the bar table without any warning into glasses, and bottles of spattered wine. That’ll teach him. Flynn now has a bottle in his hand and it's now a dangerous weapon. Well shit. He pulls up the sleeves of his typical attire, while the dog is casually dodging idiots as usual. Go Repede. He hasn't changed one bit. ]

Tch' who's next?

Edited 2016-10-04 23:46 (UTC)

[She's a little disappointed. If someone's going to do her the honor of engaging in a proper bar brawl, she'd prefer if they didn't try to sucker punch her from behind. Yuri's interference is therefore welcomed, and Rukia shoots him a grin and a thumb's up.]

I'll get Flynn.

[Being much smaller, she can better squeeze her way through the crowd to reach Flynn before he cuts open someone's artery. Yuri's got his hands full protecting Selphie in any case.]

Oi, Flynn! We're not fighting our shadow selves just yet!

[She shouts out to him as she moves forward. But someone is punching someone else in front of her. Rukia moves to the left, but so do the brawlers. To the right, the brawlers move too. Grunting in annoyance, Rukia goes to chop the tall redhead on the back of the neck.]

Move.

[...Wait, is that Sparks? Rukia pulls up short, stunned into silence for a moment. Er...she really doesn't want to make this a yearly tradition. The marshal does not need to be knocked unconscious every September.]

[It is indeed Sparks! Who, right now, can't help but grin as he and a few brawlers just tear into each other. He's dealing twice as many hits as he's taking, though. Not really a fair fight between a Hero and normal townsfolks. But it's nice to see Sparks enjoying himself for the first time in quite awhile, even if it is in this way.

When Yuri asks who's next, a bar patron is suddenly tossed unceremoniously down in front of him from Spark's direction. An opponent delivery right on schedule!]

[ All Sheena wanted had been one drink. One teeny, tiny dish of sake--or whatever came close to it. The meeting with the Sage had set her thoughts and emotions into a whirl and she needed it.

And that's what's on her mind as she approaches the building, the sound of the commotion inside making its way outside, growing louder the closer she gets. She pauses, unsure, since sometimes parties sound like brawls and brawls sound like parties.

Hoping it's a party, she enters--only to be knocked right back outside by a body being slammed into her. Yep. Definitely a brawl. Getting to her feet, she goes back inside--this time ducking as a stein heads towards her, allowing it to hit the man behind her, knocking him senseless.

As one of his buddies comes up to her, she scans the room. ]

What the hell is going on here?!

[Just... what the hell happened? Part of Selphie wants to partake in the antics going on around her but another part of her really doesn't want to get involved.

There's Yuri throwing people into walls on her behalf. That was a thing. Flynn being drunk was also a thing. Rukia in all her half-pint glory was kicking ass and taking names and then there's a cop partaking in their antics.

And that's where Selphie got confused. She considered getting out from underneath the table to try and leave but knew that things were more than a little out of hand. She ducked a flying beer bottle in the nick of time as she tucked herself back under the relative safety of the table.]

I'm just going to stay here until everybody's done...

Edited 2016-10-08 04:58 (UTC)

[... and Flynn's body count was up to five so far, all incapacitated but not dead. Maybe. His knuckles are kinda bloody though. By now he's gotten rid of the broken bottle. Some of these guys' helmets were really strong~~, maybe made out of Mythril~~. In any case, his sleeves were torn from his movements and his knuckles had some wear to them already.]

Damn. You. All. To. Hell!

[... and he may be trying to kick down an overturned table that one of the bullies was using as a shield.]

Right, don’t let him knock you out there. He’s drunk but he’s a fighter.

[ Yuri replied back to her as he passed her to get somewhere else. Flynn was in her direction more than he was in Yuri’s. Yuri was busy tossing drunk people to the side as he made his way down the bar. Before he made it any further there was a body being flung at him and all he did was dodge it as he crashed in the unconscious drunk. Thanks Sparks! He totally needed that delivery!

Eventually, he dodges enough people to catch up with Rukia only to be stopped when he heard Sheena enter the room after being knocked down and then shoving another hapless drunk into the ground. ]

Watch out behind you!

[ He shouted before another guy was thrust out of his way ay and lands right on top of the table that Selphie is hiding under and breaks it on her. ]

... ]

…Sorry Sunshine!!

[ Yuri makes a break past the piled bodies just in time to see a few more thugs run right at Rukia with tables and chairs as she was making her way to Flynn. ]

[Rukia is working her way closer to Flynn. While her size gives her an advantage in being able to slip between fighters more easily, she also doesn't have a great deal of leverage, as neither her ninja nor red mage job have any particular stat boosts to make her mighty.]

[She resorts to kicking shins and jabbing people harshly in the ribs. Eventually she does get to enjoy her first bar fight punch, and though her knuckles sting, she has to admit that it's actually kind of fun to]

[WHAM. That sure is a chair leg hitting her across the face. Rukia staggers, dizzied, and touches a hand to her nose. It's bleeding...?]

[Why that foolish...! Scowling up at her attacker, who seems almost as surprised as Rukia and far less sober, starts to lower the chair. Does he intend to apologize? Push her over? The world will never know because she jump kicks him in the face, using her ninja agility to make a springboard out of him and launch herself directly at Flynn.]

OI! Drop the bottle already!

[- and an NPC slams into Rukia, who then slams into Flynn (who had fortunately lost the broken bottle at this point) and they ended up on the bar floor. It was wet and sticky from patron's muddy footprints and spilled booze, so they slid until Flynn's feet managed to stop them at the wall on the other side of the bar. Many patrons may or may not have been bowled over in the process. It didn't matter.]

Get. Off!

[If this were an anime, a gigantic exclamation point accompanied by a red anger spot would appear in a speech bubble above his head. Then he realized who it was. Ouch, that was a sobering thought. That and his shirt was now covered in nose blood.]

Hey. You all right?

[Now may have been a good time to leave.]

Edited 2016-10-10 05:20 (UTC)

[Yuri may have heard a very startled half-squeak, half colourful string of curses an eighteen-year-old probably shouldn't know coming out of the mouth of their youngest housemate present as her hiding place was exposed to the melee going on around her. A sharp, withering look may have been cast in Yuri's direction in response before there was a drunk man in her lap. The withering look was cast in full glory upon the drunk before Selphie hauled the man to his feet and clocked him squarely in the jaw.]

You owe me, Yuri!

[She forcefully shoved the drunk over the broken table as she joined the fray and successfully kicked two drunks cleanly in the balls before fighting her way over to check on Rukia and Flynn. Most of the brawlers were caught off guard by the little girl throwing punches that she shouldn't have been able to throw given her stature.]

You all definitely owe me!

[Seeing that the other Heroes were taking some hits, Sparks manages to free himself from his current fray and joins them. He's taken a few hits, but doesn't seem to mind. He hunkers down on the floor with them, grinning.]

So. This sure is somethin'. I'm thinkin' I should probably arrest someone. Who started this?

Thanks!

[ Heeding Yuri's shout, Sheena turns just in time to see a fist coming towards her. Dodging the attack, she grips the unruly patron's wrist and turning, flips him over her shoulder and on to the table next to Selphie's former hiding place.

Much to the enjoyment to those around them, who burst into laughter at his squirming and cursing. ]

Oh, knock it off!

[ Twisting the man's hand and forearm into a painful--yet restraining--position, she keeps him there. Ignoring his protests and complaints about how this never would have happened if he had been sober, she looks up just in time to see others fall while Selphie pops up out of nowhere and starts throwing punches.

And kicks.

Hearing one of the men behind her exclaim in angry protest to the kicking of the balls, she turns to him with the sweetest smile on her face--letting him know she'll do the same thing if necessary. ]

Now. Everyone calm down. Got it?

[ Yuri will regret his choice for running after Rukia. Not soon after that he collides right into her as she got punched. Of course, the fool that tried to take Rukia down was knocked over by her. Yuri then proceeded to add to his pain by twisting him up from the ground and shoving him right into the next table over, as it broke in two and the poor bastard lands face first on the ground with a loud “thump.” He’ll probably never drink again. At least, he’s still alive and will only escape with bruises.

Back at the incident at hand. Yuri’s eye almost twitched at how out of character it was for Flynn to be doing this and he can’t argue because the fool was damn bloody drunk! He was watching it all in slow motion as Rukia jumped on Flynn following Yuri trying to catch them both and twisting his foot on the fucking bottle that Flynn had discarded and landed face first into Rukia’s back sending the three of them to the ground, with Rukia squished between Flynn at the bottom and Yuri on top.

Well this is … fantastic. Somewhere in the accident and bruises, he hears Selphie shouting at him for owing her a favor. He knew that already since he launched an idiot right into her table without realizing it. It was the spur of the moment and he had to get the damn asshole somewhere not in his way! ]

…Damn it could this day get any worse.

[ All the while, Sheena comes in. Really? Did all the dangerous girls have to be in one place?! Those part damn bar brawlers were going to be screwed. Eventually, he nodded his head to Sheena, and rolled off of Rukia and Flynn. The initial pain he had face was going away and now Sparks was asking who he was going to arrest. Yuri sure as hell wasn’t going to be the one that’s getting arrested so he points to a random almost passed out brawler. ]

That may be the guy you’re looking for. He’s the one that tried to spike me with a bottle.

[ Maybe it was a white lie but the asshole sure did try. Yuri shakes his head some as he turns over concerned for Rukia and Flynn. ]

Yo you two okay? Sunshine!? Sheena!

[ It's check in time with the crew, because he had to make sure the people he knew were okay. Of course, Sheen was telling folks to calm down. That only led an angry drunk to dash at Sheen with a table instead, while another idiot tumbles his way into Sparks if he doesn’t get out of the way first. Sheena asking everyone to calm down only made matters worse as they now want to target her and the cop that was now on the premise and wanting to do his job. ]

Say that to m'face you bi--

[ He stops mid sentence as he teeters to one side but the table was already weapon as he chucks it right at her. ]

Edited 2016-10-14 07:29 (UTC)

[Rukia blinks down at Flynn, her hands braced on his shoulders to at least give them some distance. Oh? He seems to be sobered up now. That was easy.]

Are you all right?

[They both ask each other at the same time, and Rukia pauses for a moment as she realizes this. Then she grins, touching her dark sleeve to her nose and inclines her head.]

A small injury, pay it no mind.

[Before she can start to rise, there's Sparks next to them, looking absolutely thrilled. Well now! She's glad he's having a good time, since she's honestly sort of enjoying herself too.]

If you have the jurisdiction, why not? Some drunkard made a pass at Selphie. Look for the one with spaghetti all over his face.

[Now she can at last get off of Flynn except NOPE, she's crushed by Yuri. Rukia's breath gets knocked right out of her with a startled grunt. She lies there for a moment, trying to digest just what's going on. This is...........so ridiculous.]

Oi. Do you mind?

[Lightly she jabs her elbow back at Yuri's side with a grin. This definitely isn't the way she expected the night to go, but at least now she knows what it's like to enjoy a full-fledged bar brawl.]

We'll be fine, get going.

[Flynn isn't threatening to cut people with a bottle anymore, Sparks is happy as a clam, and Selphie and Sheena...well, they're definitely not in any danger, apparently, given how handily they're mopping everyone up. Once Yuri's off of her, Rukia can push herself off of Flynn and clasp his hand to help him to his feet.]

Back to back?

[Selphie elbowed a brawler in the diaphragm just in time to see to the table get thrown in Sheena's direction. The perky brunette is charging towards the thrower and gives him a good swift kick behind the kneecaps to bring the drunk down.]

Look out!

[Selphie uses her smaller stature and speed to her advantage as she sprints ahead of the table and dives to throw both herself and the ninja to the ground before anyone got seriously injured. The top of the table was heading straight for Sheena as Selphie wrapped her arms around the girl and took a good chunk of the blow to the back of her head and shoulders. The momentum was enough to bring stars in front of Selphie's eyes as she brought the two of them to the ground.

The two fell and the perky brunette was slow to get back up, probably out of the fight for the remainder of it.]

H-hey... are you okay?

[Always worried about the other person before herself. Stupid girl.]

Sure, I'll say it to your f--

[ Her words are cut off by both the table flying at her, and Selphie launching herself at the man, then her before the ninja could do anything. Girl definitely has some reflexes.

But, maybe Sheena shouldn't have hidden her particle thrower through Disguise as she pretended to be herself. Then Selphie wouldn't have gotten hit by the table. Holding on to the girl as they fall to the ground, Sheena twists to make sure she takes most of it.

A lot alike, these two.

She keeps her grip on Selphie as she rises to keep her steady. ]

That's something I should be asking you, but I'm fine. [ She looks around and spots the man Selphie took down getting back up, his expression one of rage. ] This has gone far enough.

[ With a matching expression, she gets to her feet, and there's suddenly a high-pitched whir as she activates the thrower and in a quick burst, puts a new hole in a nearby table--and that's it. All those hours of practice got her aim down.

She turns to the man and approaches him with measured steps. This is the side most people haven't seen of Sheena. The point when her rage makes her quiet. ]

I said, "Everybody calm down."

Edited 2016-10-15 05:10 (UTC)

[Sparks sighs, sad that the fun was over already, but he supposed that he had a job to do. He stood up, brushing himself off and fixing his hair. This police inspector sure wasn't fighting, nope.

He uses the silence Sheena's caused to pick out the spaghetti-stained culprit who started everything out of the crowd. He starts making his way over to him while addressing everyone. he digs his badge out from his jacket and holds it up.]

Alright, y'all heard the lady. Reckon that's enough property damage for one night. And you--

[He finally reaches the guy and snags him by the collar] -- are comin' with me.
