BiT live

[temperedinpride]

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.))

[Looking absolutely blissed out, just a wee creacher having a good time

also still trying to purr]

[temperedinpride]

[This is precious. Absolutely charming. He'll pet his hair, though it's a reach when Hyth it's so big. Even cuddling. ]

Enjoying yourself?

[weenwoon]

[He's very cute, it's his one saving grace.]

Meow.

[Yes, presumably.]

You're warm.

[temperedinpride]

Ah, is that it? Hades is warmer though.

[weenwoon]

[Laughs quietly, but probably longer than he should. He's fucked up]

He's different, though... You're like, like...

[He tries to concentrate, but extremely unsuccessfully. In the end, he just kind of waves a hand.]

Tree.

[temperedinpride]

.... Tree?

[weenwoon]

Yes.

[Nods, looking EXTREMELY SATISFIED as though he's solved the meaning of existence.]

Big... green.

[temperedinpride]

...Green?

[He is so balked but he'll keep petting Drugs!Levity. Guess he doesn't need to make sense.]

[weenwoon]

[Why are you surprised that he's not making sense after you gave him drugs.

Nods vigorously, but also starts sliding down slowly so he'll eventually end up with his head in Bread's lap.]

Mmhm. Warm, like tree... I don't have to worry, I don't. But Hades is... Hades is...

[... gestures helplessly?? How to express the weird emotional tangle of their relationship especially when he's not sure what words are or where or who he is, even.]

[temperedinpride]

[Look this is fascinating. He'll just pet the lapLevity.]

What about Hades?

[weenwoon]

[He's doing his best, don't bully.]

Hades is like... It's hard to move, you know? It's like that red you have, in your dorm, the dark red. But I think, I think it's for both of us. I don't know. When we talk, there's words, there are words, but they're not... They're not things. You know?

[Communication is hard.]

[temperedinpride]

[Buddy. He'll pet his hair.]

Yes I think I understand.

[Like, not really but he thinks he gets the idea?]

[weenwoon]

[He's doing his BEST

and by best I mean he ends up rambling further on, absolutely jumbled and meaningless, mixing in weenwoon noises and eventually switching to Ancient language completely, though he's still making no sense. He gets quieter and quieter, staring ahead of himself at whatever the fuck he's seeing.]

Oh my god...

[temperedinpride]

...?

Hythlodaeus?

[If you're seeing infinity he takes no responsibility for your weird drug trip.]

[weenwoon]

[He's absolutely seeing infinity. Turning to look up at Cosmo.]

It's all stars...

[He doesn't look super happy about it.]

[temperedinpride]

Is that so....

[Doesn't sound that bad? ]

[weenwoon]

Falling stars...

[Those ones aren't so good.]

[temperedinpride]

[His instinct to cover Hythlodaeus's eyes probably doesn't work given its. Mental.]

Can you picture the ocean?

[weenwoon]

[Well at least the touch seems to distract him a little?]

Ocean?

[What's an ocean.]

[temperedinpride]

Blue waters under a blue sky. Stretching to the horizon. Waters swelling to white crested waves that curl as the tide pulls then. The sound of those waves hitting the shore a gentle, constant roar.

Can you picture it?

[weenwoon]

[He doesn't fully understand, because words are FAKE right now, but he does his best. Mumbling to himself as he repeats Cosmo's words aimlessly, then nods.]

All blue...
