[There's a large sign out front of the Black Cat Tavern advertising a holiday drink contest! The rules are simple:
1.) Participants can choose one, two, or go for all three drinks.
2.) Prizes are dependent on how many drinks they can correctly guess all the ingredients in (without taste it might be difficult, but that's why this is fun)
3.) If they don't guess correctly, they have to pay for their drinks (which are half off because Christmas)
4.) First prize for guessing all three drinks correctly is either a night of free drinks just for the winner, or something that someone has donated (donations are kindly appreciated)
4.) Employees can participate but they will receive a different set of drinks
5.) A waiver is required to be signed to participate.
The drinks are this, this, and turkey gravy with vanilla bourbon. employees get to try Kahlua with cream cheese and pumpkin spice (blended like a smoothie), chicken gravy with Tennessee Honey Jack Daniels, and the third is peach vodka, maraschino cheery juice, and red wine.
OOC: RNG or coin flips can work if you want your character guessing! Feel free to have others cheer on a character undergoing the challenge!]

[Shopping for a tree this season? So is Olivia. She'll be out and about, deciding on decorations, plastic over natural trees, and generally buying what she needs to spruce up her bar for the upcoming season. Are you a regular with a different religion? She can be convinced to include something to accommodate that!
Otherwise it's time for gifts! The list she has is short, and she's always up for figuring things out for people. Olivia isn't the best at gifts, so she might need help for anyone not Zack Fairweather or her cat.
Or she can be seen in general walking around and window shopping during the day. After all, even a barowner needs a break now and then.
Or maybe you're just chilling at the bar and trying to catch her eye. Make sure you don't cause trouble!]
III - Wildcard!
[If you want to throw something at her not listed, go for it! Or hit me up @chromatus if you want a personal starter!

DRINKING CHALLENGE TOP LEVELS GO HERE
no subject
Hey Olive! [She said as she sank down onto a barstool, giving the older women her usual bright smile.] What's this I hear about some kinda tasteless booze guessin' game?
[Lillian no you are going to fail this challenge.]
no subject
[Glancing at a flyer posted close by, she shrug noncommittally.]
I figured I'd have some fun with this lack of taste thing going on. And it gives me a chance to test some new drinks. Why? Wanna give it a try?
no subject
[She grinned jokingly, her Boston accent making all the words just a tad more abrupt than usual.]
no subject
Hey, I would never serve good customers bad drinks unless they've pissed me off. [Lillian will find a really pretty blue drink put in front of her next to a waiver.]
Sign before you drink. Please.
no subject
[Lillian looked at the glass, then turned her attention to the waiver, glancing over it before picking up the pen.]
Probably shouldn't be signin' nothin' just cause a pretty lady put it in front of me.
[Her blue eyes flicked up towards Olivia as she said that. Because she wasn't just trying to get her usual reaction or anything, don't be ridiculous.]
no subject
[As in making sure nothing reacts with you in a bad way special.
LILLIAN WHY?! Olivia looked away quickly, trying to make herself look busy for a moment to not seem like she's taken aback in a good way by the compliment.] I-It's just something to keep the both of us safe.
no subject
Sure it is. I wasn't sayin' it was anything different.
[Still clearly teasing, even as she turned her attention to the drink, picking it up and peering through it.]
...It kinda reminds of the sky a little bit.
no subject
Chuckling softly, Olivia nodded as she took the paper.]
I'll tell you its name after you test it and try and guess.
no subject
[More teasing, and then she took a small sip of the drink, wrinkling her nose a bit at the burning, then more, then a little more. She didn't know much about alcohol, outside of what she'd learned from Olivia, so this was a hopeless cause...but she'd try.]
no subject
At least Olivia has something to focus on other than the random flirting as she watches the other woman's expression. Doesn't seem like a light is going off just yet.]
Wanna wager a guess?
no subject
[Lillian takes another sip of it, her expression narrow and thoughful.]
Man I don' know. I guess the burn kinda reminds me of vodka?
[She clearly needs to drink more.]
no subject
There's a lot more than just vodka in there.

... Olivia was always her cool older sister just as Zack was her huggable older brother. But even so, as she was more Zack's friend, she never got much of a chance to hang out one on one? So give her the chance...? Natalia is totally taking the chance to do that and after mustering up the mojo to do so, with the ostensive excuse of needing to figure out something for Zack, she had arranged for them to hit up Towers and some other places.
... She could give Olivia ideas for everyone else? And maybe they could pick out some clothes or something too? She's excited, at least ]
no subject
Olivia rarely ever left her bar with the weather so cold, so she's relying on Natalia to pick out stores.]
Where to first?
no subject
... Where to first indeed? ]
Something for Elliot, I think. I was going to check one of the kitchenware stores in Towers, because he's making that magic food lately!
no subject
That sounds like a good place to start. I need something for him. Do you know what he has equipment wise?
no subject
[ But she doesn't sound too sure, that does seem a bit impersonal. ]
no subject
no subject
[ she likes animals. She talks to people a lot about animals. She probably knows Olivia's favorite animals tbh. ]
no subject
[Cats and chocobo. The latter especially. Thank you, Recolle, for having them exist.]
no subject
[ A beat and- ]
Thank you for coming with me, by the way.
no subject
You don't have to thank me. This helps both of us, and the boys won't find out ahead of time what they're getting.
no subject
[ that's all. ]
no subject
[At least now she's only running off one weekend a month, and she'd still be in town.]
