[Dream Event | Open]
[In a chilled but cozy hole-in-the-wall of a planetside tavern, the Valhallan 597th celebrates its latest victory.]

[Decorated officers, men and women alike, dominate the building as they carouse and joke, cheeks flushed red with the joy of another victory, as well as due to a fair amount of alcohol in their bloodstreams. Delicious food is plentiful, and whether you like to flirt or gamble, opportunities for both are abound.]

[In a fashionably late manner, Cain strides into the tavern, standing tall and proud with a goofy damn grin plastered on his face, wearing a fresh greatcoat and uniform. Right behind him, his rather malodorous and less-than-easy-on-the-eyes aide Jurgen slips inside. Fortunately, most people should be too drunk to care about his absurd body odor, or the skin diseases which are amazingly resistant to the finest medical technology the Imperium has to offer.]

[Gesturing over to the woman running the bar, who looks sufficiently impressed when she realizes who he is--the famous Commissar Ciaphas Cain, hero of the Imperium, admired and respected across the galaxy.]

Barkeep, a round for the finest men and women to have ever served in the Imperial Guard. It's on me. [Gathering up a waiting mug, he raises it and strikes an incredibly perfect dramatic pose, his voice booming with equal dramatic flare.]

A toast--to Valhalla! To the Emperor! [And amid the enthusiastic cheers, Cain chugs down the brew without stopping for a breath.]

	To the Emperor. [Says Gaunt, quietly, looking subdued and rather reflective during the raucous party, sipping a glass of amasec rather quietly at the edge of the bar. He more or less fits in, red sash, peaked cap, and all, except for his camo cloak.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

[Cain may not have heard the other commissar's response over the roar of the Valhallans cheering about another opportunity to get drunk. Seeing him so quiet without a pretty lady attached to his arm to distract him, however, gets Cain's attention.]

[He saunters over through the crowd, though it's a bit of slow progress as he trades enthusiastic back-slaps and comments with his officers.]

Not quite your scene?

	[Gaunt smiles up at Cain as he approaches, and says.] Used to be. Most of my drinking buddies at this point are dead, though. So now I mostly sip... and remember. [He looks at Cain, blue eyes flashing that disturbing mechanicus green for a moment.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahh. [His expression growing a bit more solemn, Cain settles down in the stool next to Gaunt, and raises a glass.] To the fallen? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To the Ghosts, yes. [He clinks the glass.] So what are we celebrating again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Cain drinks to the Ghosts, taking his time out of respect.] Another star system saved from the Ruinous Powers, by the Emperor's will. [Meltas helped, admittedly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Define saved for me again, Cain? [Pretty much every liberation that Gaunt has been part of has gone shit-awful for the civilians involved.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Making little gestures with his fingers.] Burst in, eradicate the source of the disease, waltz out. Everyone gets to go back to their nice little lives and pretend that the Imperium isn't, as you put it, a human war machine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's one of way of looking at it. [He smiles] I met a pilot once, Phantine 20th, who used to play a game called "Let's pretend there isn't a war on." [Gaunt heaves a sigh.] Game never lasted long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Cain smiles sympathetically.] At least we can take some comfort in knowing we're doing the Emperor's good work. It's not completely senseless. [And then, turning to look down at his glass.] Heh. A commissar comforting another commissar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have a point. [He smiles, and looks out the window.] This is good amasec. [He laughs.] Haven't had anything close since the last time I dined with Lord General Van Voytz. (Reply to this) (Parent)
