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.))

[ On the one hand, since he can't actually read the brackets, he's proud of you! On the other hand, about the part where 'he likes meat' didn't even make you blink and you totally misunderstood what he was saying about the bunny ears headband. ]

You don't mind getting maybe-drugged?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ sup he's two drinks in and already slumped on the table. ]

S'okaaaay.

[at_heart]

[ oh no, his smile is definitely going more crooked ]

Yeah? You, uh, looking for a good time?

[ Nudging drinks away from him. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

S'only bad here.

[ Alcohol is terrible. ]

[at_heart]

...Right, but. What you were risking—

[ Cuts himself off. ]

How many drinks have you had, Aster?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Thhhhhtwo.

[at_heart]

Is that two or three.

[ Either way, you have been overserved, ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Holds up two fingers on each hand, he's helping. ]

[at_heart]

[ oh my god ]

Sssssso, you're done, right?

[ Please let him say he's done, ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I need to get the points.

[at_heart]

Right, bou got points, just by coming down here to see what the live was all about.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

More drinks will get me more points.

[at_heart]

...how many more drinks and how many more points.

[ Lupine, why are you asking him this when he can't even tell you how many drinks he's had so far? Look, it doesn't require math, just remembering— ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

200 points.

[ That one he can respond with, but the other part has him pausing to think. ]

... Lessssss than ten.

[at_heart]

[ baby ]

I can send you a thousand points. Would that be good?

[ Back... pat... ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Whines, he's going to die later if this ever comes up again. ]

That's not earnin' them myselffffff.

[at_heart]

Sure it is. They're bonus points for participating in your first-ever live.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

But they're from you... you don't count?

[ Do you?? ]

[at_heart]

It's a thank-you from your unitmates for working so hard. We gotta encourage that, you know?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

We do?

[ He's close to being convinced... ]

[at_heart]

Absolutely. Plus, Eichi helped me get my powers when he first transferred to our unit — I'm still working on being able to afford that, but I can definitely pay it forward this much.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ SUSPICIOUS SQUINTING. ]

That does sound like the kind of nice thing you guys would do.

[at_heart]

So. It's fine, right?

[ Taking out his phone. Prepared to do this thing...! ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Please he's too drunk for this much thought. ]

... Y... es?

[at_heart]

Great.

[ Slides the points into Aster's account. ]

There you go! In appreciation for your hard work.
