Today was a day of celebration for Golem's Hand. But he was in Harpy's Wing, so Odinn didn't pay much mind to it initially. Sure, he was gonna use it as an excuse to not take any jobs today but in reality his goal was to just stay at the guild hall rather than attend the festival. He remained seated at the Harpy's Wing bar, drinking casually until Illedrith confronted him.

[color=fff79a]"It's a beautiful day outside! Birds are singing and flowers are blooming! On days like these, you should be out there enjoying the sunlight! Besides, what with everyone leaving for the festival, there won't be anyone left here for you to scab drinks off! They'll have better stuff at the festival anyway you know, and I might even be nice enough to buy you if you can deign to drag yourself down there..."[/color]

Odinn let out a sigh before spinning slowly in his barstool to somewhat face Illedrith. She meant well and he wasn't particularly irritated by her so much as the concept of [i]doing something[/i], but one would have to have known him for years to understand where his resentment truly lay. [color=7ea7d8]"Eh, you say that now but you won't drink with me,"[/color] he responded, avoiding the topic at hand as he was known to do. After another few sips it seemed that Illedrith was taking Ceri and Klisa out to the festival. [color=fff79a]"And if you decide to come down, you're more than welcome to join us in our festivities, right up until the point where you lose yourself to the liquor."[/color] This was met with a chuckle from the lazy S-class. [color=7ea7d8]"I don't drink nearly fast enough to get drunk."[/color]

He returned his attention to his mug on the countertop. He began weighing the pros and cons of attending the festival. It was something to do, sure. But did he really want to do anything today? [color=7ea7d8][i]Though, if our Master catches me here after I said I'd be going to the festival I would never hear the end of it...[/i][/color]

In the end Odinn decided to go. He finished his drink first, naturally, but afterwards he got off the stool and walked to town at his usual slow pace. People recognized him immediately during his brief journey to town, with many asking him if he was going to the festival or why he was going. [color=7ea7d8]"Yeah, I'm going. Something to do, I guess,"[/color] was his standard response, as he didn't feel like putting much effort into answering the same questions in different ways. He didn't even take his hands out of his jacket's pockets, just moving along his usual lazy way. Thankfully the walk to the town was brief and Odinn was quick to notice the various festivities going on. There were carnival games, various food stands, and plenty of people.

[color=7ea7d8][i]If I didn't know any better it would seem like Luna loves Golem's Hand more than us,[/i][/color] he thought to himself with a chuckle. [color=7ea7d8][i]Ah well.[/i][/color] Before he could go find a stand that would sell cheap beer, Odinn practically ran into an altercation between two Golem's Hand mages. Just a few feet away from him was Travis and Vega, both seemingly prepared to go into battle with each other. Over what? Odinn wouldn't know and probably couldn't understand. He contemplated walking away and pretending he didn't see anything, but a little voice in his head that served as his conscience told him otherwise. Sometimes Odinn wondered if it was truly his superego doing its job or if Illedrith had managed to infiltrate his mind. With a dismissive sigh he approached the two.

Just before he could speak up it seemed that Travis gave up on the idea of fighting and blew off Vega. It was in a rude fashion, granted, but at least the two didn't fight. [color=7ea7d8][i]Sweet. I didn't even have to do anything.[/i][/color] Sure they could still go at it, but in Odinn's mind it was all resolved. [color=7ea7d8][i]That period joke was kinda funny though. Don't think any of the women around here would've appreciated that remark. Then again it was clever. Not my style though, so I guess I won't steal that one.[/i][/color] Odinn continued on away from Vega and Travis towards the thick of the festival, keeping his eyes peeled for booze and friends. Primarily the booze, as surely if he ran into someone that he knew they would openly mock his laziness with their surprise. [color=7ea7d8][i]I suppose I should practice making comebacks though. Seems like a good skill to have. If I can just humiliate someone with words then I wouldn't even have to use magic. But do I really want to put in the time to get good at something...?[/i][/color]
