[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

The Dandy Man laughs along with you as you deliver that stylish pun, yelling "That's EXACTLY understood, Sheela, heh he!!"

A funky, fun loving man that also enjoys your puns? PERFECT friend material!

*Later on....*

The Ursaring nods back, before resuming its watch. No un-allowed guests were party crashing today or ever on its watch.

You wicked-esqe sister, who is already swaying to the hypnotic beat of the club and twirling around, giggles at your paranoid concern. Her, getting caught up to mischief or losing control of whatever spells she weaves? Perish Song the thought, Sister, whe he he~!

Then before you know it she quickly floats off into and onto the dance floor nearby, phasing through several people and Pokemon alike and startling them badly, much to her audible amusement as she cackles on and on... Oh dear...

Or not - Rodger doesn't seem too worried about your Ghostly witch's antics, so perhaps such behavior is more tolerated than you though?

Anyhow - the groove meister simply nods at your reluctance at bloodsports - "Yeah, not too big of a fan of'em either, but hey, some People and Mons like living on the edge, and everyone knows when the show's over" - and takes you over to the bar, which is staffed by a punk-ish middle aged woman wearing rockerboy get up with a mohawk that was somehow glowing neon pink! He pulls out a chair and seat you like a gentlman, before looking over to the bartender and giving her a charming grin.

"Heya, rocking queen. What Special Drinks we having 'night - Living or Dead?"

"Well, what will it be, hun?"

Oz facepalm herself when Persephone begin to do her antics. "Sweet mother of..." She then sigh and tell her sister when got the chance. 

Oz eyes shine a bit with the appearance of the middle age woman. "Wow. You look so cool." She blush and then put a hand in her own head. "Heh, sorry. Its just my first time here in this place and everything so new and awesome!"

Then came to the decision of drink to take first. She thinks is awesome with drinks of the old heroes drinks. And she is pretty curious to take one of those drinks. She though for a second and then make her choice. 

"I choose....Redoer's Remorse. It looks pretty interesting for a first drink."

When the drink was ready, Oz look at the drink, and then take drink. 

When you go for THAT drink Dodger is curious enough to ask more about it…and then gets a worried look as the neon bartender more or less breaks down the Effect it has on people.

”Uh…I DID say first drink was on me, but…You SURE you want this one in particular?? You’ve already had a rough day, and we came here to unwind and let you tango with a Tough partner. Downing THAT might be a , uh, bit more counterproductive to ya grooving out, ya Dig?”

Bartender: “*Huffs* Then she can get in to go and Drink it later, Dodger. Don’t be scaring customers from trying out my Special brews - I worked damn hard to make’em, and I want people to drink’em!”

“Huh…well, that’d work too. Still…”

OOC: Not to Spoil, but given Oz’s, er, colorful backstory, she WOULD get Synergy with the Drink…but that also includes amping the Negatives as well. Which consider the near mental breakdown and subsequent panoc/depression spiral she went on… 

That, and you won’t get the chance to Battle after drinking it, since one of its Negs in Disabling Pokémon Battles. Well, that doesn’t stop Per from fighting On HEr Iwn, but do you REALLY want to let a Super Disobedienct Witch off the reigns?
