BiT live

Who: Cosmo
Where: Lobby
When: 436

[Cosmo is rocking a look. Minus the plague mask, it's just his normal mask. He's got a set of fruity drinks in front of him, and he's leaning back with a drink in hand.]

"Risk" and "Reward".

Half of these drinks are non-alcoholic, most of the rest are quite potently alcoholic, a few are drugged.

The risk is obvious, the reward is engaging in the live. Or perhaps in avoiding the traps.

The drugs are one of three kinds--a potent psychedelic, a numbing agent, and something to get you a little hot under the collar. Do take it elsewhere if you get that last one.

[He sips his drink.]

Of course some say the best way to win at gambling is not to play, but where's the fun in that?

((OOC: tag any toplevels with the aphro as nsfw and you can have like, multiple if you want. I'll toplevel Lahabrea to talk to but you can also just engage with drugs.))

[sir are you trying to cope with something.]

I feel like it's been a while since I last saw any of you put this much effort into a Live.

[temperedinpride]

I don't think it was much effort. Perhaps one of my lower effort ones in fact. But it does fit the theme.

[weenwoon]

Really now? You've chosen three kinds of drinks and then went on to also choose three kinds of drugs. For the theme it would have been enough to simply have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

[Three, three, three...]

Is this meant to be a celebration of your reunion with Elidibus? The three of you back together again?

[temperedinpride]

...You are reading rather much into it. It just seemed a good variety.

[weenwoon]

Really? It would have been nicely symbolic.

[temperedinpride]

I would want something a little less driven by chance and bad decisions for that.

[weenwoon]

[idk sounds to him bad decisions is exactly appropriate for the ascians reunion

stares at bread for a couple seconds longer than necessary to communicate that thought]

Have you celebrated it yet?

[temperedinpride]

[It is communicated, he just huffs.]

We have not, and that is a good point.

[weenwoon]

You certainly should! Especially since you already seem intent to pamper him. He needs to feel appreciated.

[temperedinpride]

And what of you? I do not think I've done much to pamper you in... Have I ever?

[weenwoon]

You've made me tea and sandwiches once. But I'll agree that your performance is quite lackluster compared to Alexander.

[TIME TO TALK SHIT]

[temperedinpride]

My, so blunt. But one cannot grow without feedback.

[weenwoon]

I'm learning to be a little less accommodating of people.

[is that a good thing. who knows]

[temperedinpride]

[Is that a good thing? He appreciates the directness anyway.]

Being assertive can be quite healthy.

[weenwoon]

[Well it MIGHT be a good thing?]

Well, not to the degree many people here are.

[Like, y'all are fucked up?]

But I was promised pampering.

[temperedinpride]

I usually require some time to prepare, but if you want something impromtpu, offer a hint as to your current whims.

[weenwoon]

[Eeeeyes the glasses.]

Well... In fact, something to alter my consciousness does sound good right now. I'm simply not certain if I want to gamble on getting it.

[Sometimes? You just want to get fucked up?]

[temperedinpride]

Alcohol, or one of the other substances?

[weenwoon]

I've never tried the others! Though I will say that it's mainly the psychedelic that sounds interesting. The others seem less enjoyable.

[temperedinpride]

Well, I can provide you with that or alcohol if you like.

[weenwoon]

Will you stay with me afterward?

[Look, at least he's aware? He probably shouldn't be left alone if he's high?]

There's also something I need to talk with you about, I imagine. Unless Alexander has already.

[temperedinpride]

Of course I will stay with you. But perhaps you should tell me before, if it is important?

[weenwoon]

There is a divergence between my memories and Alexander's.

[A good thing to discuss while you're wasted.]

[temperedinpride]

...I see. Worth discussing indeed.

[weenwoon]

Are you ready for more news? The Warrior of Light is in my memories of the pre-Sundering days. Though I've yet to receive an explanation that is not "that sounds like something they would accomplish".
