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.))

[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".

[temperedinpride]

[Sorry what.]

[weenwoon]

[i need to remake this icon for his ew model

BUT YES, BIG SHRUGGY]

Don't look at me.

[temperedinpride]

They're your memories, who else am I to look at?

[weenwoon]

The people in my memories.

[temperedinpride]

As far as I am aware they are not here.

[weenwoon]

Well, you know what I mean. Besides, you might glean something from them that Alexander did not.

I was planning to take another memory soon, in fact. If we are lucky, it may even turn out to be relevant to this divergence again.

[temperedinpride]

Do not do so while intoxicated.

[He does pull out a glass, tip something into it, and fill it with water, setting it in front of Levity.]

[weenwoon]

[hell yeah dad get him fucked up]

But wouldn't it be an interesting experiment? How current intoxication might affect memories? I know Klaus experiences the influence of the drugs from his memories, but I've no idea if it can work the other way around.

[anyway time to do drug usage.]

[temperedinpride]

[Don't do drugs]

Perhaps, but do you not risk losing the ability to recall it well? Though I suppose you could repurchase it.

[weenwoon]

[He's just gonna sit there and wait until it kicks in.]

Yes! It's not as though they are very expensive. And Alexander even volunteered to help sponsor my memory purchases.

[temperedinpride]

...With what points?

[The man is always so poor.]

Ah well, that is his decision. But you are... Hm, how shall I put this. You seem less uncertain and timid.

[For better or worse.]

[weenwoon]

That was what I asked him, but he said he could save up.

[He looks a little surprised at the observation, but then smiles.]

Well, my latest memories are from my adulthood. Of course I'd been less certain of things when I was still young. Not to mention Hades had always been there, and with our relationship being tumultuous as it was here at the start...

[Shrugs!]

[temperedinpride]

So you feel more sure of yourself now?

Or is it something else? Or a mix?

[weenwoon]

[hm...... hm.]

I feel more sure of myself. I know a little bit more of what kind of person I am. And Elidibus being here helped a lot.

[temperedinpride]

I am relieved he is with you. For both your sakes, it seems.

[weenwoon]

We have things in common!

[Actually, he'll come sit down by Bread. There's a kind of slackness about him; looks like the drug is kicking in?]

I think he's still scared of me, though. Well, you all are, aren't you?
