BiT live

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.))

Sorry, did you want me to pretend?

[childeishly]

No, but... yes.

[rainshaveceased]

I'd love to collect some shells with you, Caeli!

[childeishly]

[ goes back and grabs his arm, yanking him along the beach! ] I'm going to make you the best damn bracelet ever.

[rainshaveceased]

How wonderful. You are such a good friend.

[childeishly]

[ starts collecting shells as they walk along the beach. ] You're a good friend too.

[rainshaveceased]

I do make an effort.

[also? collecting shells?]

[childeishly]

I miss being able to manipulate water... [ turns his gaze on the ocean, giving a wistful sigh. ]

[rainshaveceased]

...Yes, I miss my usual abilities as well.

[childeishly]

What kinds of things could you do?

[rainshaveceased]

Do you know aught of the creation magicks my people wielded?

[childeishly]

No, not really. I know a little, since I've seen Hades use some in our shared dreams, but that's it.

[rainshaveceased]

As the name implies, it is the power to create something out of seemingly nothing - to turn aether into corporeal objects.

[childeishly]

I'm guessing there was an abundance of aether in your world to allow for such manipulation?

[rainshaveceased]

Indeed. Our star even takes its name from that abundance.

[childeishly]

What kinds of stuff did you make with the aether? Obviously you said you could make anything, but I want to hear about the things you did.

[rainshaveceased]

Ah.

I do not remember.

[childeishly]

...hm. Can I ask you a bit of a personal question?

[rainshaveceased]

Of course.

[childeishly]

Why do you have problems remembering certain things?

[rainshaveceased]

...

Has Emet-Selch told you aught of my role as the Heart of Zodiark?

[childeishly]

No. He’s mentioned him a couple of times, but I haven’t really asked for details.

[rainshaveceased]

Do you know what primals are, then? It will be difficult to explain otherwise.

[childeishly]

Zodiark is a primal, right?
