Soon Archard would be back in Ilada and wouldn't be allowed to leave for a while, so why not have some fun for a bit? Fuck with a few people, order some drinks, and see who they can hook up with for a bit. With the change in their diet that was going to come soon, they needed somewhere good to eat. Every buffet on the island had already been visited, unless there were some that were hidden, so they needed something new.

Archard carried themself as someone of high status as they entered Club Orpheus. The amount of jewelry they wore and the shining top they had on complimented their posture. They heard good things about this place—mostly from Ade and Henghai—and decided it was about time they checked it out for themself. Taking a seat and ordering some drinks and food, Archard leaned back and listened to the music. In the meantime, they looked around, looking for someone to talk to.

Rhymien was pinballing around the city, for lack of a better term. He'd been gone from Manta Carlos for some time now and being back was rejuvenating. While he still wouldn't have called it home, it was a home away from home. Too many interesting things happening here not to come back.

How he found himself in Club Orpheus wasn't really important. Nothing had let him there. It wasn't some elaborate thought out thing. He just was. And Rhymien had the tendency to get attention wherever he went, if not for the lack of face and antlers and height, by sheer force of personality.

Which is what had him sitting on a stool near Archard and spinning around several times before slapping his hand on the counter to catch the bartenders attention... who had already been looking at them. Heh.

"Hey, stuffy! I'm thirsty. Way thirsty. Whatchya recommend?" and before the man could finish answering, Rhymien said, "wait, no, just give me one of those sex on the be-- wait. Hold up. Anything with a little umbrella and an olive. Literally anything."

He looked at Archard. "Whatchya want?"

What the fuck?

Archard found themself interested by the person covered in blue lights? Shadows? Something like that. It was an interesting enough appearance, with the small antlers and the... Archard was still hung up with the blue shadow-lights covering their face. What was with that?

No, what was with their introduction? Archard made no attempt to hide their stares as the man went to order a drink. They even caught themself raising their eyebrows and giggling at how ridiculous the whole situation was. How quickly things escalated since they entered.

And then they directed their attention at Archard. Without missing a beat, and with an interested smile, they responded with, "What do I want? I want to know brought you here. You look too energetic for a relaxed sort of place like here."

The island had a lot of wild types, but this was someone they expected to see in a nightclub, not an archaic-styled bar. Admittedly, Archard wanted to know what this person was, but that seemed too rude to start off with.

Rhymien tapped his chin, much like a cartoon character might. "Weeell, that's not a drink but I didn't specify that what you wanted had to be a drink so... fair."

When he got his drink, Rhymien took it and threw it back, taking the olive afterward and throwing it into his mouth as well. He grabbed the small umbrella and twirled it before turning his body to stare at Archard.

"This place looked like it could use a little spicing up," he said with a nod. After all, what kind of chaos god would Rhymien have been if he only went to already chaotic places? Still, he was sure this place would be boring him in, at the latest, a half an hour.

A younger Archard would have been embarrassed to anger at such an error. Now, they just laughed it off. Archard has been eyeing Rhymien for some time now and they assumed that he was commenting on that. "In that case, a margarita with ice." Archard held their drink up, then took a sip.

They watched Rhymien's drink hit the floor with a splash. What a waste, but that was no issue for Archard. They weren't the one who made the mess, and it was an easy one to clean up.

"It does, doesn't it? I only came here because my family had good things to say, but so far it's been too tame. Let me hear your ideas for spicing things up." There was a tinge of fear from saying that, but it was submerged under so much confidence and curiosity that it wasn't nearly enough to hold them back. If Béa could get away with the countless amounts of bullshit she's been pulling, then why not Archard?

Rhymien laughed. "Okay! But don't go expecting any plans." he turned in his seat to inspect the bar-goers. In a second flat, Rhymien had slid behind the bar to grab a few bottles and juggle them, bartending as though he'd done it a thousand times before - and he had, in a life long ago.

It didn't take long from there (probably after serving three drinks) he was grabbed by the back of the neck and thrown out of the bar hard enough that he rolled when he hit the pavement. He groaned and rubbed his head, then popped back to his feet and pretended to dust his suit off.

"Well, I never! Boring place anyway, that. Uuugh. I need something better to do. This island is too... too... too inhabited!"

Archard counted to see how long Rhymien would last before he was kicked. He lasted longer than they expected. They expected some kind of cartoony display of antics, but Rhymien subverted that immediately.

Archard tipped the poor bartender who had to deal with all of this before leaving to check on Rhymien. Towering over him with a smug smirk, they said, "This island isn't the place for you if you want someplace with less. I know a few places though, and not just the obvious kind, like the islets or the woods."

"You can't see it," Rhymien said to Archard, "but I'm squinting dubiously at you. What are these places you have in mind, hmmm?"

Rhymien rubbed at one of his antlers, as though it were bruised. He looked Archard up and down. "It's not even fair how tall you are! Hmmm. Okay, okay. Stay focused! Where are these places? This way?" He looped an arm around Archard's and began dragging him in one direction.
