( For Kiritsugu's part, though he'd been attempting not to think about the date, the nature of his job in this world made it downright impossible. (The robots even provided him with a black velvet Santa hat for his uniform!) But even if he'd remained in his own world, this would have been his first Christmas without his wife or daughter, one of the few threads from falling into melancholy altogether.

By god he tries, though. Or at the very least, seems to have tunnel visioned himself into filling orders in the most efficient capacity possible, as though it were some kind of challenge.

Go on! Approach the all too serious man with the placid expression behind the counter. Help him. )

[Ango fears no man, especially not when half-price liquor is on the line.

He will approach, and assuming there are seats at the counter he will sit down at one. It's not like his usual haunts back home, but this will do.]

A whiskey on the rocks, if you will. I was told there is a promotion going on right now?

[Since she already got established plans tonight with Ishmael, someone is going to arrive at the bar pretty early during her errands. No plans to stay too long, but having a drink break before heading back is a good thought. She sits herself at the bar, setting her plastic bag of goods in the chair next to her and tapping the bar to get the bartender's attention.]

Hey, barkeep. Can I get a beer on tap?

[Taryon had no special plans for this day - every country he's visited has their own winter celebration, and with the bizarre 12-month Earth calendar, he has no idea what day Christmas corresponds to. New Year's Eve is easy enough to translate, so he's gathering his energy for that.

That doesn't mean he can't take advantage of offers to spend time with friends. After all, what else are holidays for?

Taryon enters the building with his new red and yellow winter jacket, spots the man at the bar, and waves at him before sliding onto a stool.]

Good evening. I was told that I could get merry and receive a bit of a discount on my drink here. [He leans on his forearms as he smiles, his nose slightly reddened from the cold.]
