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

Yes, yes. It's about my wellbeing.

[pfff]

[temperedinpride]

You can be as put out as you like but that will never stop being something that I concern myself with.

[rainshaveceased]

What about your own?

[temperedinpride]

What about it? Do I seem in a bad condition to you?

[rainshaveceased]

How you seem to me is less important than how you actually are.

[temperedinpride]

Hades had done much to ensure I am rested and look after my health both physical and mental. Having you here helps as well.

[rainshaveceased]

And hearing that helps me significantly.

[temperedinpride]

What else would you know? For your reassurance?

[rainshaveceased]

[considers this]

Everything.

[temperedinpride]

...


Specifics.

[rainshaveceased]

Mmmh.

[please he is too drunk to brain this]

You are afraid about how you'll be seen. What else?

[temperedinpride]

[Hm he could just make Elidibus too black out drunk to remember anything he says.]

Why would I fear aught else?

[rainshaveceased]

[cheater]

We all have our fears. 'Tis natural.

[temperedinpride]

[He's contemplating it!!!]

This is true. But few are as daunting as what comes after success. So long have we toiled, but so little thought have we given to how to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Or if we even can.

[rainshaveceased]

[...huffs a little laugh]

And here I thought that was just my problem.

[temperedinpride]

Not at all. But surely together we can manage some answers to that, as well?

[rainshaveceased]

That would be nice.

[temperedinpride]

Hades and I plan to live together. Naturally that includes you, in my mind. But I have not asked if it is what you would wish.

[rainshaveceased]

Of course it is. I could not imagine a life without you two.

[temperedinpride]

Nor can I. And that is a beginning, is it not? I would like for you to have more desires than that by the time we reach that point, but it must be some comfort to have even one plan in place.

[rainshaveceased]

I am not sure how much I can do about that.

[temperedinpride]

You do not need to make effort towards it. Only to an open mind to possibilities and personal goals. Letting them happen naturally.

All I want is for you not to reject potential.

[rainshaveceased]

...How did we start talking about me again?

[temperedinpride]

[Because he's extremely good at not talking about himself.]

What was your next question then?

[rainshaveceased]

Was that the only fear weighing on you?
