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.))

[ I mean, at least you're being upfront about the aphro??? ]

How much is a little.

[ Because depending on tolerance, 'taking it elsewhere' might get tricky. ]

[temperedinpride]

...Moderate to quite a lot, likely?

[at_heart]

...You don't actually know?

[temperedinpride]

Depends on tolerance and well, dosage.

I should not be in any harmful dosage at least, but it should be rather strong enough to feel. And while it should not cause adverse health problems if one were to imbibe multiple doses, it is hard to say how much or little a double or more dose might affect someone.

[ Beat. Smirk. ]

You're definitely setting yourself up for a free show it sounds like you don't actually want.

[temperedinpride]

Now why wouldn't I want the show?

[at_heart]

No idea, but you specifically told us to take it elsewhere, so it stands to reason.

[ You could be one of the like five people in all of Imeeji who isn't in an open relationship? Just a guess. ]

[temperedinpride]

[Openness status of his relationship: complicated.]

Oh I don't mind watching. But others might be shy about being so public.

[at_heart]

[ Snorts softly. Fine, fine. Gaze flicks to the drinks, then back to Cosmo's face. Or rather, his mask. ]

I didn't know BiT did anything but alcohol.

[temperedinpride]

The drugs? Certainly not one of our powers. But anyone with access to the store can buy their own.

[ ............ ]

I don't know why that's bothering me more than the idea that it was a unit power. [ Dragging a hand down his face. ] And it's not like we don't all have that one power, at least.

[temperedinpride]

Perhaps because it makes it widely available?

But yes, I do believe every unit has at least one rather... What is the word... Erotically applicable power?

[at_heart]

[ A soft snort. ]

That's definitely one word for it, but it's probably a lot fancier than I would've used.

[temperedinpride]

How would you say it?

[at_heart]

Dunno, probably the horny powers, or the hard-up powers, or the whoever-came-up-with-these-definitely-needed-to-get-laid-more powers.

[temperedinpride]

All quite accurate.

[at_heart]

[ Grin. Well, he's pretty sure he likes you, but Lupine's still gonna steal a glance around the rest of the room and consider trying to be the Designated Driver here. ]

Don't suppose you could be less vague on the alcoholic ones, like how many shots're in the strong ones?

[temperedinpride]

[Look sometimes people in imeeji just long to be drugged and he's here to help]

Oh, about three?

[at_heart]

[ We're not all Klaus, though. ] [ 'About'. So, assuming the max number of shots, he could probably do a few of those before he was really drunk, he's got decent tolerance.

As long as they're not drugged, anyway. ]

I'm hearing a lot of vagueness, and it's not comforting.

[temperedinpride]

[Isn't everyone a little Klaus at heart? Traumatized and longing for escapism?]

I like to keep things interesting.

[at_heart]

Right, and after all where's the 'risk' if we actually know what we're risking.

[ Which he does get, even if it's awkward for everything he'd like to do here. ]

[temperedinpride]

You'll still find people think it is too much. And of course, that is fine. But options should always be available. And perhaps seeing others indulge will encourage those more shy about their desires.

[at_heart]

Wow, are you sure you're not secretly doing a ZRAEL live here.

[ This is so 'corruption'. ]

[temperedinpride]

Well, if a Zreal were to volunteer to help it I wouldn't say no.
