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.))

Care to test your luck?

[rainshaveceased]

I do not.

[temperedinpride]

A shame. Well, that is entirely up to you.

[Sipping his drink here.]

[rainshaveceased]

I would ask what possessed you to do this, but...

[it's just bread being bread]

[temperedinpride]

Points?

[rainshaveceased]

Yes, of course. Points.

[temperedinpride]

It isn't as if it cost much effort.

[rainshaveceased]

You did need to obtain the drugs, did you not?

[temperedinpride]

[What if he had them laying around though like that stuff has expiration dates]

Yes... Of course.

[rainshaveceased]

[WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS. WHY DOES HE LIKE YOU.]

[temperedinpride]

[Good questions.]

Well. So far it seems there aren't any takers. No one feels their luck is going to hold I suppose.

[rainshaveceased]

Perhaps the reward is simply not worth the risk.

[temperedinpride]

I did not feel like coming up with a better incentive, but you could provide on if you feel like it.

[rainshaveceased]

Such as?

[temperedinpride]

Like I said. I didn't feel like the effort. But if you can think of something that might persuade others to gamble then I would be curious.

[rainshaveceased]

Somehow I do not feel particularly motivated.

[temperedinpride]

A shame. Then again, perhaps you are finally taking to vacation.

[rainshaveceased]

I would not say that is exactly the case here...

[temperedinpride]

Oh? A shame, you could use one.

[rainshaveceased]

So I have been told.

[temperedinpride]

[He pats the spot next to him because he is just on a lobby couch lounging.]

[rainshaveceased]

[sits politely!]

[temperedinpride]

How odd those that are quick to disapprove, don't you think?

[rainshaveceased]

Many dislike the idea of losing control. It is one thing to indulge in intoxicants willingly, another entirely to be given them in secret.

Of course, since you have given ample warning, that is not truly the case here. But the feeling of it is there.

[temperedinpride]

Thus the gamble, but it is all willing. No one is forcing anyone to pick up a glass.
