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.))

...While He and I are no longer one and the same, I am still functionally an extension of His being. Like a primal, I continue to be sustained and empowered by the faith of those around me.

And, like a primal, I am influenced by that faith.

[childeishly]

...so are Lahabrea and Emet-Selch keeping you... you? Or is the fans? since I can't imagine anybody from back home beyond those here could have any effect, since they're... I'm not even sure, to be honest. [ this place doesn't make all that much sense to him honestly. ]

[rainshaveceased]

Ah, no. I was not speaking of this place. Since my arrival, it does not seem I am taking in enough faith for it to affect my memory.

[childeishly]

[ a slow nod. ] Well that's good. [ he wonders if this is something he's going to have to worry about here. ]

[rainshaveceased]

Yes. So it is nothing you need to worry about.

[childeishly]

[ (x) DOUBT. ] If you're certain... [ he neither looks nor sounds convinced. ]

[rainshaveceased]

I have trusted you with information I would share with few others. I ask that you trust my judgement in return.

[childeishly]

...alright. I'm just... worried? I'd hate for something to happen to you.

[rainshaveceased]

[raising an eyebrow]

What do you fear will happen to me?

[childeishly]

There is something called erosion back home, that robs people of their memories, so slowly they lose themselves to time.

[rainshaveceased]

[oh

that hits a little close to home]

[childeishly]

[ sets a hand on his shoulder. ] I don't know how it works on your star, but I do know all of your ancients have lived a long time... I don't want to see that happen to any of you if there's something can be done. It's bad enough I have to worry about certain individuals from my own star.

[rainshaveceased]

...Lahabrea believes we might be able to do something about it eventually, should our current plan come to fruition.

[childeishly]

So my worries weren’t unfounded then… [ frowns. ] I hope that you’re able to take care of it.

[rainshaveceased]

Regardless of what happens, I will be fine.

[childeishly]

Alright, if you say so, then I trust you.

[rainshaveceased]

Thank you. I appreciate it.
