[ OPEN ] SHOT THROUGH THE HEART
WHO: Baren & open to all! (closed threads for bingo in comments)
WHERE: The plaza! The mall! Throughout Recolle! Anywhere!
WHEN: throughout July
WHAT: Diamonds are agirl's demon's best friend, Party Satan Tours™️, and Bootleg Retrospec Merch. Rest in pieces, everyone.
WARNINGS: baren being baren sounds like a legit warning to me
[ A : HAVE YOU HEARD? ]
[Baren doesn't like doing what he's told - in fact, he hates it.
The problem is that he's also a very, very, very curious person by nature.
As a result, the bingo cards taunt him ruthlessly. Which is why he finds himself setting up a stand right in the middle of the plaza, standing atop a crate like a loony. Anyone who recalls his eyepatch shenanigans might notice that for some reason, he's still wearing one even though the trend is no longer at its height. On top of that, it's... well. Bedazzled. Beautifully and artistically, about as aesthetically pleasing as any.. bedazzled item... can be.
The shit he does for bingo.]
You won't believe the shit that these guys sent me! A whole treasure chest of sparkling jewels like I'm some kinda gaudy pirate! But you know - they actually have some merits to them? Sapphires for good luck and protection. Amethysts for healing properties. Rubies for those struggling for love—
[And he stops what he's saying, spots you in the crowd, and just looks... sad....]
You want one, buddy? I'll give you some for free. You look like you need it more than I do.
[he's just doing it for shits and giggles, stop him]
[ B : AND TO YOUR LEFT, YOU'LL FIND - ]
[You know those ridiculous, shitty buses that people ride on in Hollywood to creepily stalk out the houses of celebrities because who doesn't love Beyoncé.
Baren managed to rent one for the day. On the side, instead of Star Tours or anything like that, there's an actually very artistically well-done and aesthetically pleasing logo for Party Satan Tours™️. Baren did not actually trademark the name, he just wanted to put the little mark on.
And here he is, perched precariously at the very tip-top of the bus with a microphone, clearing his throat as he points out:]
And you know that spot? Retrospec is trying to keep it on the down-low, but that's where a bunch of leprechauns they accidentally summoned host their gambling circle every Tuesday. There's the opportunity to make a pot of gold pun here, but I won't. You're welcome.
Oh, oh! And over there - on the right! Rumor has it that about two decades ago, that's where a baby suddenly had enough superhuman strength to fight off a burglar that was trying to take its candy. Further research is needed, but I think that's the first sign of someone getting ridiculous powers in this city! Supposedly, these superpowered folks now just walk among us! But you know... Now that I think about it....
[And he turns to someone random on the bus, singling them out embarrassingly even as he leans forward precariously.]
You look kinda familiar... Do I know you from somewhere?
[ C : THANKS FOR COMING ]
[And anyone who leaves the tour - why did you end up on it - or is just walking by on the street is now the proud owner of an 'I ♥ Retrospec' t-shirt.
Except right beneath it, in smaller font, it says '- said nobody ever'. (He thinks it counts.)
And because Baren doesn't know the meaning of self-control, he made bobbleheads. Sort of. Instead of the bobblehead man actually having a face, there's just an empty slot where you can put in a picture of a friend for shits and giggles. Except the placeholder image just says 'Jim?' and on the back of each bobblehead is a neat little 'KICK ME' sign.
Finally, finally, to kick off the end to his absolutely chaotic day, Baren takes one of the bobbleheads, tosses it into the air, and with a baseball bat that he definitely just bought from the sports shop next door, proceeds to knock a homerun swing to send it flying.
He's too busy cackling madly to actually think about if it hit someone. Well.]

MAJIMA : 5 FINGER DISCOUNT
That's easy for Baren. He's been pickpocketing since he was a child, swindling since he knew how to talk. When you're meant to be a menace, you gotta teach them while they're young and that's what his mother did. Hence why he's just visiting Club Sunshine one day, grabs Majima's wallet while he's distracted just long enough to take the business card, and then slips the wallet back in.
For good measure, he talks to one of the girls for a few minutes, says he's here just for a quick trip today, and then approaches Majima on his way out, extending the business card back out to him between his quick fingers.]
Needed to borrow it for bingo. Thanks. ♥

Ah. Okay.
[ i mean, it's a fair enough reason. he's used it for a lot of things this month. so he puts it back in his wallet. ]
You could have just asked.
no subject
That's a better reaction than... most of the time when Baren steals things from people, so he just snorts faintly and shrugs.]
Don't think that counts as stealing, boss man. I've got time to kill - you need anything off your bingo that I can manage quick?
no subject
You could buy a hideously bedazzled shirt from me for $5.
no subject
He thinks about it.]
What sizes you got?
no subject
[ since baren has that slender attractive anime boy physique going on ]
no subject
[but regardless, Baren's thinking about it.
he's thinking about how funny it would be to convince a bunch of football stars to wear bedazzled shirts]
... but you know what? Yeah, I'll take like 6.
no subject
[ he's grinning now but nods ]
6 it is, then. They're beautiful.
[ he wanders off to get them and comes back ]
$30, then.
no subject
[that's what baren's going to do with his afternoon
and he'll just hand over two $20s to Majima as he cackles]
Keep the change!
[he's too lazy to wait for a broken bill]
no subject
[ everyone's a winner. ]
