Ronan walks into the month late and with a cup of alcohol [open]

who: Ronan and open
what: Open log. Ronan drinks and later he shops for his pets and brings along his raven and a dog.
when: Late December
where: A bar (ground floor of Trixie?) and a pet store respectively
warnings: Alcoholism, violence
notes: Can switch to brackets, message me if you’d like a different scenario


a. Putting that alcohol tolerance to good use

Ronan preferred to drink in private, before bed, and with his electronic music playing in his headphones. But moving in with his boyfriend had some drawbacks. His distaste for alcohol was one. As a result, Ronan was out doing exactly the opposite of what he wanted.

He went to a bar in the evening and had to deal with people talking around him. But he was here on a mission: drink as much as possible, as quickly as possible, and then think about nothing. And by God, he was going to do it.

He took a seat and glanced at the person next to him. “What’s that shit you’re having?”


b. Ronan should never name his pets

Ronan had never been in charge of the finances at the Barns. He didn’t handle it at Buttercup Farms either. So he was unprepared for how fucking expensive all his animals were. It was easy to keep Chainsaw happy. She’d eat anything. Dogs and cats? Jesus.

He walked into the pet store with his raven Chainsaw on his shoulder, as usual. But this time he had a dog with him, a young puppy with big paws, soon to grow into a fine dog. He was eating enough for it.

Thorpedo, as Ronan named him, was going to represent all the dogs in the house by choosing toys.

Should anyone be inside the pet store, this scene would unfold before them.

“Hey, mutt. Let’s get your crap.” When they reached the toy aisle, Ronan glanced around to verify no one was there, then grabbed a rope tug. “Hey, Thorpedo. What do you think?”

Thorpedo grabbed it.

“That’s my little shithead.” Ronan rubbed behind his ears.

And if anyone caught him after, Ronan hauled bags of dog and cat food, along with a small bag of toys, to his BMW while Thorpedo, still on a leash, trailed behind, carrying one chew toy and squeaking it periodically.

Ivar's patience with the situation had long since worn thin. But sitting here with Ronan insulting him at every turn just made it worse. He pulled out a knife, and for a moment, it appeared he was going to throw it at the nice big target that Ronan presented. He settled for throwing it just past his head, a reminder that Ronan was facing down a literal psychopath.

"I've wanted to kill a lot of people here. Doesn't mean I have. It just got personal with your idiot boyfriend because he said some things that got under my skin, not to mention disrespecting me. Hate me if you want, but the only thing I did wrong was kiss him. Everything else you two have done is solely on your own two heads." He didn't need to point out who had started this fight now, did he?
