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.))

No one has better or worse luck than another, it is only which way it swings moment to moment.

[It. Is tempting him though. He can argue but he can't back down from a challenge???]

[temperedinpride]

Well if that is your view on it.... I suppose you would attribute things like a miserable or blessed life to fate and not chance?

[auguryofinnocence]

[He frowns.]

No, I don't believe in something like that...

[Shit he has to drink one.]

[temperedinpride]

[Rip.]

Then shall we test our luck?

[auguryofinnocence]

Fine. Give me one.

[temperedinpride]

[He pushes one over and picks one up at random himself, raising it in a toast.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[He doesn't toast back!! Because he's pouting.

But he does take it, and gulps it down before he can register the way it burns. But it sure does, and he makes a distressed noise, wide-eyed, and then he's crumpling to the floor just like that.

Just need a quick pass out minute!]

[temperedinpride]

[He won't help him up, just smile as he leans his head on his hand and gazes down at him.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[He's out cold! Some husband, not helping!

But not for long, eventually he opens his eyes and everything's spinning so he reaches for Lahabrea's leg to ground himself. But he misses.]

[temperedinpride]

[He nudges Vergil's shoulder gently with his boot. You know, to help him find his leg.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[He grabs the boot, and climbs his hand up the man's leg as far as he can to pull himself up at least to sitting.

Though he immediately groans and badly regrets being upright.]

[temperedinpride]

[He could fix this.

He does not.

He does run his fingers through his hair though.]

How unlucky for you.

[auguryofinnocence]

You -- you cheated. You gave me...a bad one. On purpose. And you didn't even drink yours. I bet.

[temperedinpride]

What accusations to throw at your husband.

1/3

[auguryofinnocence]

You are a cheater!

[auguryofinnocence]

[Whoa wait]

wait, 3/4

[auguryofinnocence]

And my husband.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He pulls himself up further but his legs buckle so he grabs onto Lahabrea's face to in both hands, just kinda, giggling.]

You are, that's true.

[temperedinpride]

[Holy shit he needs to get Vergil drunk more.]

Yes, yes it is. Is that still surprising?

[He loops an arm around his shoulders.]

[auguryofinnocence]

It is! You married me!

[He laughs like it's really funny, but then he's bending down to kiss Lahabrea...in a way that would mortify him in public normally. But also fumbling a little because, well.]

[temperedinpride]

[Wow, cute. He keeps him steady with the arm around him and will return the kiss despite the way Vergil is rather sloppily drunk.]

Me marrying you is a shock now?

[auguryofinnocence]

Obviously! Who'd do that. And I even said I don't like that kind of thing and you insisted and now we're married.

And I haven't even been telling anybody. That's stupid.

[temperedinpride]

...What... You haven't told anyone? Not even Five?

[You live with him???]

Why haven't you told anyone? I do not think you are ashamed of it.

[auguryofinnocence]

Not even Five! Only Gigi because he figured it out and now he thinks I'm an idiot.

[He's just gonna slide into Lahabrea's lap and kinda curl up on it even though he's way too big for that.]

I'm not ashamed at all, I'm proud! But it's weird to tell people...

[temperedinpride]

...Vergil...

[What even does he do with this man. Pet him, he supposes.]

You do not need to do anything you find uncomfortable, you know. But at least Five needs to be informed.
