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.))

Comments

[rainshaveceased]

Even so, I shall attempt to refrain from complaining.

[temperedinpride]

You are not required to keep your distaste to yourself.

[rainshaveceased]

No, but I am choosing to.

[temperedinpride]

And why is that?

[rainshaveceased]

A gesture of goodwill to a friend?

[temperedinpride]

Your consideration is appreciated, though I also appreciate honesty.

[rainshaveceased]

What makes you think I am not being honest?

[temperedinpride]

Not so much dishonesty, but holding back.

[rainshaveceased]

And why would I do that?

[temperedinpride]

[He contemplates a moment and sighs,]

Never mind, I shall accept your kind consideration.

[rainshaveceased]

That is good to hear.

[temperedinpride]

[Just not worth the argument, he goes back to sipping his drink.]

And have you made friends? I've not asked.

[rainshaveceased]

...You already know of my friendship with Caeli, of course. There is also Pentium, from your unit.

[temperedinpride]

I know Caeli very little, but Pentium is charming. And Caeli is beloved to Alexander and Five, which is certainly enough,

[rainshaveceased]

Speaking of Pentium, he's planning a dinner for us.

[temperedinpride]

Has he progressed in that? He is quite sweet.

[rainshaveceased]

He also wants to introduce us to his mate.

[temperedinpride]

Ah yes. He did tell me. And who that is.

[rainshaveceased]

I do not look forward to that dinner.

[temperedinpride]

We can ask be polite surely.

[Says Lahabrea]

[rainshaveceased]

[raising an eyebrow]

Do you intend to be?

[temperedinpride]

Perhaps.

[rainshaveceased]

Even when Fandaniel inevitably will not?

[temperedinpride]

And what would you propose?

[rainshaveceased]

Of course, I believe we should do our best to act civil. It will just not be easy.
