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.

"... No. And yes. People like the Seers and the Völva they are special. Different. They have a link to the gods and the gift, or curse, of prophecy. But our gods are known to disguise themselves and walk among us. Sometimes to test us, sometimes... just because they can. The gods will also show signs to people. If they are willing to look and listen," He paused to down the rest of his ale so that when the server came over they took both glasses and brought them both a refill.
"It is funny. That is... very close to the speech we get," He smiled as he brought his new drink to his mouth, "Is that so strange?"

sulkingsudden melancholy. "Völva?" Ronan couldn't, or rather wouldn't help himself. He was nineteen, crude, and sometimes irreverent. It took a great deal of effort not to laugh at how similar that word sounded to something else entirely. "Völva," he repeated, shaking his head and smirking."God, maybe that's where it comes from," he muttered. "Shit. That's great."
Oh, wait. They were having a serious conversation. Right.
"I don't think so. There are only so many ways to sell you on sacrificing yourself." Ronan pulled his drink closer. "So, the gods ever give you a sign?"
no subject
"Mm," He nodded, brow furrowed, obviously curious as to what he was missing here, "Where what comes from?"
He hesitated at Ronan's question, instinct telling him to give a vague answer, neither a yes nor a no. But that seemed like a slight to the god he believed he was related to and all the times he'd guided him.
"... Yes," That was it. He didn't offer up any elaboration, but the singular word had weight to it.

"Forget it," he said dismissively. "Try not to sacrifice anyone here, yeah?"
no subject
He grinned, "Not for the sacrifice, of course!"

"I thought you stuck with a goat. Damn, that must've been a wild party."
no subject
"Ehh you may be right. It might have been a goat. I may be confusing it for another Yule," He smirked.
"It was still a nice celebration. A good feast."
