BIG GAY ALLSKATE: Pride Edition!

[picked_on_you]

Well, will you look at who landed tonight?

That's no DJ... but he might just blow your minds.

And as he saunters through the bar, guitar slung over his back, it seems he's brought all the sparkle and stardust in the galaxy with him: suddenly, there's glitter in the air and rainbow bunting draped on every spare surface. Even Tonks' yellow bra, hung somewhere over the bar, has somehow received a temporary multi-coloured makeover, while Bar has started giving out tiny striped pins (and bigger flags) with certain patrons' orders... if they'd like them.

Speaking of patrons... is it the narration, or are there an awful lot of new faces in here all of a sudden?

The Starman props himself up at the bar, one foot comfortably resting on a barstool, and begins to play guitar.

Let all the children boogie, indeed.

[OOC: Welcome to the Queerest All-Skate Of Them All!
All welcome - yes, that means all. Whether they're retired, deleted, AU, original or already being played by someone else, bring 'em in! Just like Pride itself, Bar's makeovers and/or flag/badge-giving is ICly opt-in only - she won't out anybody without their consent.

Usual all-skate rules apply:
1. Everyone's stressed out of their mind right now, so have fun!
2. Communication is key.
3. Gratuitous behaviour (either of a violent or sexual nature) will not be tolerated in the bar proper. Take that to an OOM, and then Content Warning the hell out of it before you link it.
4. What happens in the All-Skate, stays in the All-Skates! Unless, that is, it happens between approved game characters and all muns agree.
5. However, players are welcome to assume that the glittery rainbow makeover applies to the Bar 'proper' as well, if they want to. If they would prefer it didn't, also cool.
6. Please don't be a dick.
7. The Gay Agenda is minded to permit allies to this All-Skate! So long as they don't mind being covered in glitter...
8. HAPPY PRIDE, YOU BEAUTIFUL QUEER PEOPLE!]

"In the correct order of the rainbow?" Ragnar says. "What a fun thing to do!"

[wayward_sun]

"Right. You lot like rainbows," Lucifer says, cheerfully, as he sets up the shots glasses for the both of them.

"Ready when you are."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar nods.

[wayward_sun]

"Ready, set, go," Lucifer yells, starting from one end and quickly speaking back the shots, ending with both arms raised and a loud "Woohoo!"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar picks up the second drink as he pours the first into his mouth, and so on, but still finishes half a second after Lucifer.

"Again! I need more training!"

[wayward_sun]

"That's the spirit. Bar, love, another round of these little delicious nuggets of colour."

Two more rows of glasses appear.

Lucifer grind at Ragnar. "Ready?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Steady," Ragnar grins.

[wayward_sun]

"Go!"

This is fun. What's more fitting for Pride than getting smashed with a Viking?

(Lots of things, but that's because the point)

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar starts pouring down the little drinks two-handedly on 'Go!', never even closing his mouth.

[wayward_sun]

Lucifer almost comes on the last shot, laughing.

"Way to go, Ragnar."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar laughs uproariously because it suddenly seems very funny.

[wayward_sun]

It does, doesn't it?

Lucifer claps his back and says, "That certainly got the dry spot. Which is always better than hitting the way spot."

He may have lifted that joke from Emcee.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"There definitely was alcohol in these!" Ragnar declares, approvingly.

[wayward_sun]

"There was!" Lucifer agrees, loudly. "And you put them away like a pro. Well done you."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Well done you too!" Ragnar declares, beaming.

[wayward_sun]

"What this party needs," Lucifer declares, "is snacks and dancing!"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"And more drinks, but that goes without saying," Ragnar says. "What kind of snacks?"

[wayward_sun]

"Something salty," Lucifer says with authority.

"Crisps and oh some of those fried prawns, the little torpedo ones? With chili mayo."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Good idea!" Ragnar says. "I had crisps here, they're made from potatoes, right? Bar, a lot of crisps please? And torpedo prawns with chilly mayo."

[wayward_sun]

Bar provides, the treats elegantly served in small bowls.

Lucifer gleefully stuffs a torpedo prawn in his mouth.

"Perfect," he says.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Very nice," Ragnar says after eating one, and then, "oh dear, the sauce bites back!"

[wayward_sun]

"It does," Lucifer agrees.

"You can add a little fresh chili if you want more heat."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"I think I can handle a bit of heat," Ragnar grins. "Bar, fresh chili please."

[wayward_sun]

Bar provides.

Small bowls with thinly sliced chilli, chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts.

Lucifer happily decorates another prawn.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar imitates him, and eats the result.

"Now, that has a kick!"

He grins, and reaches for the next drink that happens to innocently stand around on the bar.
