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.))

...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.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Pet him! Hold him!]

Are you telling me to tell him? He's not here.

I'll send him a message.

[He's getting out his phone!!]

[temperedinpride]

[Oh my god, Well, fine.]

Certainly. He might better appreciate face to face... But however you wish it.

[auguryofinnocence]

[too late]

I'm not marrying him, so it's fine.

[temperedinpride]

Vergil...

He is family and more to both of us, he deserves to be treated with care.

[auguryofinnocence]

[

Mumbles]

I haven't told my family either.

[temperedinpride]

Surely they know given my request of Nero.

[auguryofinnocence]

Nero's good at talking. He's smart, and thoughtful, and he can communicate.

[Wow look at this proud dad, his son's so good!!!!]

[temperedinpride]

He is a wonderful young man.

But you should tell him in your own words as well.

[auguryofinnocence]

...What should I say?

[temperedinpride]

....

How you feel. About him.

Perhaps you should act like you are telling me about him and then tell him instead.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He thinks about it a moment. And then just bursts into tears.]

I love him!

[He was also drunk the first time he told Nero he loves him.......]

[temperedinpride]

[Soft demon. He'll pet him gently.]

Tell him so. As often as you tell me. And more.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well he'll just lean in further to cry over how much he loves that boy!]

I will! I love him and I miss him and I want to spend time with him and teach him things like a real father. I miss him calling me dad! It's really nice!

[temperedinpride]

[He'll wrap his arms around him and run his back.]

I imagine he misses having you around to call dad. And would like all those things.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He nods, pressing a cheek to Lahabrea's and holding on tight.]

I know, 'cause he's good and he loves me, even though I was the worst. But I'm going to be a thousand times better than mine.

[temperedinpride]

You should tell him all these things and more.

[auguryofinnocence]

I will!!

What's more?

[temperedinpride]

How you love him, how proud you are, what you wish to do together.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He keeps nodding. Oh yeah, that!]

I'm going to hug him next time I see him. And kiss his head.

[That might be ambitious for a non-Vergli]

[temperedinpride]

Do tell him that as well.

[So you can't back out of it.]

[auguryofinnocence]

He'll be embarrassed. He's cute when he's embarrassed. I have a cute son.

[- He grins wider.]

He's your son too now. You have a cute son.

[temperedinpride]

Haha..Ah yes. That is true. So I do. Nero is an excellent young man. You should be very proud of him.
