Bar Room Madness [Closed]

The night was young and the Madness seemed to dance through the bar, the people were drinking a Mexican drink known simply as Tequila, strong stuff Riven had always noticed. It seemed to make men into dancing fools when they weren't careful, but then again Riven was dancing with them. So even if his brain noticed that fact so what. He grinned happily dancing with them till well the drunk on right of him bumped into a bald guy with a pool stick and this evening just got a bit more complicated. See what most may not understand is that whiskey has two effects on big guys. First of them was they got drunk, took a while but it was the end. The other was they got stupid, thinking just because a guy bumps them they fight the world. Riven had been laughing and giggling like he'd been drunk, but he'd not had a single drop. He was 27 years old and didn't drink, but he did smoke to calm down when ever he was bothered by something or his mind was going to fast. Riven's mind was similar to a super computer, calculating things so fast that some of the sharpest couldn't keep up.

"Hey now, we can get along it was an accident after all. Lets have fun, I'll buy you another round,come on what do you say." The way Riven said it was more of a suggestion, he wasn't a weak man by any standards. He mutter to himself Switch, Rook as though he knew trouble was coming. His voice wasn't nearly as cheerful as the moment before, he didn't harden his expression. "Hey pops you got insurance , I think this guy is gonna swing for the fences with his..a..pool stick." Riven spoke very casually, but he had an odd thing about him. He seemed to give of a calm and yet happy vibe as though he was cheerful and glad. People seemed to enjoy being around him or to be annoyed, though he didn't remember it. Sometimes he felt like a person was inside him, vicious and brutal waiting for it's chance in the lime light. Ok well enough soul searching and memory shit for today, next.

Well here's how the deck looks kiddies, Captain cue ball is swinging a rather large pool stick as though it makes him the next greatest thing since someone figured out animated films make money. Well let's point out the flaws shall we, his stance was rather weak. He stood about 6'6" if Riven had to guess. His brains were obviously smaller then his shoes, Bar Room fights were so utterly pointless. Riven thought for a moment he noticed what the guy was wearing. Ok sure if everything went this way things would be fine. Judging an enemy by his clothing, normally is a bad idea. The peace sign shirt, a sheer lie obviously. This guy had about as much control as a Actor and staying honest with their wife. Pants were shorts, very short shorts. Sandals as well. Riven should of hid his smile and well kept his mouth shut, he pointed at him and said almost like a child pointing at a rare animal in a zoo. "AH I get it, your gay that's why you are pissed off, I see, I see." Riven brought his hand up and down into the palm of his hand exclaiming that last part somewhat loudly.

Well that was basically it, Riven simply ducked and moron number one, hit moron number two. Aka his friend and buddy sneaking up towards Riven and friends (just riven and his imagination.) trying to swing something. However he took a pool stick to the jaw, now this made moron number one very upset with himself. He went became emo and cut himself, not really. He took another swing, to which Riven more or less caught the object in his hand.

"Sorry, baldy-san."

Well Riven listened to her reasoning, as to that, he was merely unwinding and the bumping into him had been accidental. But he used his thumb alone and broke part of the stick, the other one Eric had went to run away. Riven's expression changed, something was dark about it. Like the laughing happy man was just one side, Eric's eyes went wide and his blood cold. He'd heard of this and well they hadn't, Riven got annoyed from time to time. His speech pattern changed and he sort of became a different person, but this wasn't anything against Kyron. "Eric...that's enough..if you or Daniel speak like that..ever again..I'll use this stick and impale you on the wall." Riven said calmly and began walking away, just setting the stick down as he left. Riven was angrier then normal, it wasn't her, her reasoning was sound. Eric and Daniel had spoken poorly to a woman, that was unacceptable in any state. His eyes still hardened and something about them would tell those who saw them, this man was someone who'd been places in his life.

Daniel was on the ground Riven noticed, so it wasn't likely he knew he'd been threatened. Riven had observed the two backing away now, he'd let her speak her piece and threatened them. But she'd shocked him, fire began to swarm around Riven's hands and body somewhat. He glanced towards Kyron now with the cold eyes, he wasn't angry with her or them. He exhaled a breath, glancing down at the form of Daniel whom had well in his drunken stupidity been lit up like a light bulb. Her threat was meaningless, Riven spoke now, he wasn't quite the same calm guy that he was. Riven hadn't meant to piss someone off, he just was childish and immature. "Threats are meaningless, I wouldn't attempt it unless you want everything in this place to burn.." Riven blinked a couple times at the remark, it made his head hurt..Something from the past perhaps, he let the flames slowly fade away they were still there. But he didn't need this, he decided to calm down a bit. Eric was frightened and Daniel was useless, the woman and he could fight to a conclusion and this bar would be nothing.

"Sorry..Daniel and Eric won't bother you again or this bar..Good people when the poison of the world doesn't flow into their veins. " Eric had once fought with Riven and to an outcome that embarrassed him still. He'd been simply flicked away like a child, Riven used Rook only for dealing with people like the bald man. But it seemed he'd been enjoying himself a bit much again, he rubbed his neck. He glanced down he'd damaged the pool stick with his grip, he'd not noticed. Walking over to the counter, smiling some as he pulled out his wallet. He set 300 dollars down and headed towards the exit. Riven wasn't sure, but he didn't need to be there. He grabbed hold of Daniel by the back of his neck throwing him literally out the door and into well his own car. "Walk Eric, or you can travel like him.. We've caused these people enough trouble tonight you and Daniel go home..I am going to go.."

Eric seemed to protest almost soon as Riven said it." Riven man, you need to just smoke and relax a bit...Before the pains hit you again.." Riven shot him a warning glare, as though he didn't need further comments. "Just go Eric, I'll buy a pack later. " Riven finished dealing with them, he wasn't really sure but he needed a smoke. Things were getting a bit too intense, he walked out the door and well thankfully it was one of those west doors. The old western ones of wood, he left enough money for damages. He tapped each pocket, his eyes looked sadly at the skies and brought out his cigarettes and brought a finger up. He tapped the end of it, lighting it as he walked away. What happened now was anyone's guess, Riven Croia didn't know and didn't care. He was trying to cool his blood, he knew he should of used Bishop and helped out Daniel. But Daniel spoke in a manner he knew Riven didn't care for and well that was how things were. He exhaled a cloud of smoke from his mouth, smirking a bit. "Molly would certainly give me hell.."

He sat down on a bench outside of the bar, deciding to be alone till his mind slowed down a bit. Anger was something slow with him normally, why did he get testy over things like that. Well the makers didn't like him it seemed.

Riven merely sat and smoked his cigarette, his mind was relaxing though they all seemed to not notice he didn't drink. But then Kyron a regular noticed it, he spoke somewhat absent minded and looked up at the skies. "I don't drink really, not the sort of thing I have ever really done, dislike the taste honestly..I smoke to forget my problems..Besides, drinking kills brain cells and I ain't got enough to spare." He took the cigarette not bothering to reject it, because this girl wouldn't accept no as an answer and he knew it. "Mm that's nice of them considering how much trouble we've been..Some people like peace and quiet some cannot stand the silence.. Personally I don't really care either way..As for my living situation as it were..I live at a small apartment now, just recently moved out of my families home. .Nice folks..but birds have to fly sooner or later." Riven put the cigarette out slowly, into the ash tray next to him. He smiled somewhat before dusting himself off, he held a black object in his hand now he'd grabbed it from their vehicle.

It was a black coat he wore. "My house is down near the gang areas, you don't need to escort me..though thank you for the offer Kyron." He brought her cigarette to his lips and held it there, lighting it with a suck of his lungs he slipped on his coat now. Slipping both hands in his pockets, before bringing one up. What some may not of known was Riven was a sharp guy, he just didn't need his parents knowing his past memories were causing him pain again.

"Repentance for the things I've done..such a big list but not enough time to go over it..Ah yeah..excuse me a moment.." Riven said calmly before walking towards the bar, he needed to do something before he forgot. He'd not planned on the guy behind him taking the hit, but even had the man stabbed him or killed him. Riven had something he needed to take care of, he was looking rather set on it. He said nothing, putting a hand on the guys head before in his inner mind he said shift. The choice was Bishop, he walked away now the swelling if any had completely faded. Riven disliked seeing people suffer, even people who got angry and took their rage out on other people. "Alright I can go now, I won't bother arguing with you Kyron it's clear I'll lose." He said chuckling a bit at the last part, he was joking a bit their. He could tell she was rather set on taking him home safely. She pry didn't want to more over since they'd had words before, he didn't remember that mans name now and nor would he.

He took a long drag now, exhaling he gestured towards the side walk towards a well worse side of town, it was more or less the place he'd chosen as his roost. "Well let's get going Kyron, didn't want to leave your friend in such a shape..Could of had a concussion.." Riven smiled an began his walk, the man was pry blinking or in shock, even if he had attacked Riven it would of done little good.

He laughed a bit, perhaps she didn't really understand but that was just fine. "I wasn't pretending like I was drunk, I was having fun something that wasn't common where I am from. I was trying to understand why your friend was so angry over someone bumping into him by accident, grant it I did go over the top a bit.." Riven's memories of home were faint, he did know one thing the wars that people saw here had nothing on that place. Were men, women, and even children were prey to the awful skirmishes that came. " To elaborate bit I wasn't born here in Japan or any place similar, the place I was born isn't even on map. Nor does it have a name that it goes by..though everyone was human, so don't get the wrong idea and think we are some sort of dead folks or gods. Though some tried to pretend they were.." Riven's memories on childhood area were a bit lost, a couple years of his time as the King of the one area. But he did know he was of some importance, Riven was considered one of the strongest upon that place.

Riven continued walking, he wasn't really needing much in the way of protection or such so it did surprise him a tad that the female was so eager to follow him despite home to make sure he got there. Riven's time and way of life had changed over time, he didn't really know why people were so stupid at times."I think people let the alcohol get to them to often, they go there to relive stress but in truth..Their methods of relief often lead to what happened..it's an utter shame.."
