St Kelley's is one of the more sedate occasions in Baedal, at least as holidays go. It passes more or less unnoticed by the majority of the population as many of them feel it doesn't concern them. It's not their holiday; it's for the others. Those with severed ties and broken hearts. The temple and church preach that it's a time for reflection or for glorifying the generosity of the gods. It's one of the few days on which no one looks askance at first generation Citizens mourning their missing loved ones publicly.

As night rolls around and floating lanterns are set to sea, the Apache in Mog Hill prepares to accept guests from the newer cohorts. It's something that happens every year, making it a practical tradition. The alcohol will be cheaper for first timers, and the music will be kept at a reasonable level.

"You'll just get heckled by everything else. They let everybody in, there." Jae can't help but laugh. Will truly has a way with small and violent cave-warriors.

“It's my natural charm,” Will says, attempting to look serious again. He should probably stop trying to do that. “I seem to attract troublemakers.” He makes a slightly ridiculous face at Jae and then takes a drink.

"I'm completely well behaved, I don't know what you mean." Without even breaking character, check out these skills.

“Oh really,” Will says, leaning back. “Do you need a list?”

"Hey, I pay all my bills on time, what do you want from me?" Jae leans his elbows on the bar top, grinning. "Just because you're susceptible to my charms is no reason to be a hater."

Will reaches over to pat Jae on the shoulder. “Calm down, man,” he says, entirely facetious. “I was just pointing out one of your many entertaining traits.”

[boomvox]

Jae tugs on the imaginary lapels of his jacket - he's wearing a sweater - and rolls his shoulders. "I know I'm good. It's why I make the Benjamins... I don't know who's on a 100 note in Baedal." A beat. "They don't make pounds sterling that high, I always have to use the American denomination for that to be funny."

“This is the first time I've had hard currency,” Will says, shifting around to rest his chin in his palm. “Everything's digitized at home.”

[boomvox]

"Oh yeah? We had both. Credit cards and e-payments but cash, too. Every country is different with how common paper money is." Jae is one of Those People about carrying cash, and doesn't like doing it, but there's not much of a choice in Baedal. "Where are you from, anyway?"

[charismatic]

"Space," Will says, expression staying carefully neutral, mostly because he wants to see Jae's reaction. He's a troll, but it comes from a place of affection and -- okay, he's mostly just a troll. But telling people and watching the range of reactions the information gets has been consistently entertaining since he got here.
