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.))

...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.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I'll work very hard.

[ He won't remember any of this. ]

[at_heart]

[ ...Reaches out to give you headpats. Whossagoodboy. ]

I know you will, Aster.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ aw yeh pets. ]

Mmmm, I will...

[at_heart]

[ Between you and WWX, LiliS newbies have been really cute lately. Not that Lupine's complaining. ]

So, you'll let me get you back downstairs?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Suuuuuure, let's go dooooown.

[at_heart]

[ Awesome. Waving bye-bye to Cosmo, and decidedly not waving to Scaramouche because c'mon man, Lupine will lead Aster over to the elevators by the elbow. ]

You might wanna eat something before bed. Even just a chicken broth? I can get something heated up for you.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Following over obediently, even if his words are fussy. ]

M'not hungry or sleepy.

[at_heart]

I mean, I get that, but you're probably gonna want to sleep off the alcohol anyway. And eating'll help you sober up a little. Less of a hangover tomorrow if you get plenty of water and some solid food in you.

[ Which broth wouldn't quite qualify for, but it's a good start. Especially bone broths, which they've got in the 'fridge. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I won't hang over.

[ Said with the confidence of a man who knows nothing. ]

[at_heart]

—Do you know what a hangover is?

[ Gently! ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

'Course I do.

[ does he while drunk ]

[at_heart]

[ baby,,,, ]

Just. Have the water and broth for me, okay? So I don't have to worry, or whatever.

[ Punching the elevator button to get them down to LiliS. ]
