[Welp. He can only hope things have settled since his arrival, because....let's face it. Having nothing but a former American CIA agent for company? It starts to suck. A lot. To be on the safe side, though, he sticks to the audio function, hoping for less recognition, his tone muted and tired and carrying a thick Russian accent now that the auto-

[puttingonashow]

The local places are always the best places to go. [Or at least they always are back home. But there's a pause, as he catches himself. Then he sighs.]

But....yes. Avoiding is best for now, until I know what to expect from the people here.

[puttingonashow]

What's the deal with this fucking bracelet, anyway? No one's explained shit about that yet.

[If they did, he wasn't in the best place to understand it at the time, so....whoops.]

audio

[Dean is instantly wary, because this guy is Russian, new to the place, and Mike warned about a crazy Russian. Still, no need to be an asshole right off the bat.]

Depends on what kinda place you're lookin' for. The best bar around is the Roadhouse, though.

[Don't be wary, Dean, he sounds perfectly harmless. Really. and Thorton's not letting him off a tight leash anytime soon.]

So that's two for this Roadhouse. Guess it's worth looking at after all.

[likemichael]

Just don't go givin' the owner any grief. She's got a shotgun and she's not afraid to put a hole in a guy.

[puttingonashow]

Does she. She sounds like my kind of girl.

Audio

There are a couple of bars in the city, but I think mine's the best.

[puttingonashow]

audio.

[Oh well hey there, that pretty voice sounds promising.]

That so? And what's that then?

[daddysknife]

It's called The Roadhouse. I can send you directions if you want.

[puttingonashow]

The Roadhouse.

[....well, guess that settles it, and the small grin can probably be heard in his voice.] Real fucking popular place you got, apparently. Yeah, send them over, might as well check it out.

audio

There's a lot of bars in Mandalus. If you're looking for atmosphere, there's a few clubs too. Your best bet is anywhere in the Business District. I'd be careful, if I were you. There was a shooting there.

[puttingonashow]

audio.

[....well, thank god this is only audio, because he can't even hide the grimace that earns.]

So I've heard.... But right. Business District. Might not bother with any clubs, really. I've never found one that hasn't been complete shit.

[renegadeparagon]

You've been looking in the wrong places, then.

[He's seen plenty of decent clubs, not that he spends very much time there if he doesn't have to go.] Like I said, be careful, but otherwise enjoy. Or there's always Harvelle's Roadhouse, if you want something old-worldy and rustic.

[puttingonashow]

No, trust me, they're just shit. [And until he finds one that plays real music, he's not budging on this.]

[Aaand there might be a bit of an amused snort in there, too.] You know, as often as that place is coming up tonight, it better be worth the hype.

video

[Mary Margaret is in the middle of cooking, so she opts for video since it's easier to deal with than carrying her phone around with her. She gives him a quick smile.]

It's probably better you don't venture off into the Business District, they're still cleaning up a little after a recent shooting. If you're looking for a drink, you might try somewhere in Old Town.

[puttingonashow]

audio.

[Well hello there, gorgeous. Really, he's grateful for the video, and might even take a second to appreciate the view for a moment before answering.]

Right, right, that shooting I've been hearing about. [So apparently things haven't calmed down as much as he'd been hoping. Ugh. But he could work with that.] Old Town may be worth exploring, at least. I haven't seen outside the Business and Residential areas yet.

[alwaysfindshim]

[She just focuses on her cooking, and nods a little to the phone, despite not being able to see who she's speaking to.]

It was an awful thing, but Mandalus has apparently seen worse. [She smiles a little despondently.] Old Town is beautiful, and very rustic. If you have the time you should see the Venetian District as well. It's very pretty.
