[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.))

There were just connections to God and the Devil, but only those who inherited blood from either of them were blessed with superior intellect, and logic-defying luck.

What's the difference between "actually" and "not actually" being able to use elemental magic?

[abovefate]

Those few mortals who manage can only do so because they have been granted a Vision. The Gods' favor.

To be able to actually use Elemental magic you'd have to be a far more complex being, like my creator and myself.

[tradesecret]

So the average magic user is essentially "borrowing" magic from a god.

But then... wouldn't that make you and your creator something closer to one?

[abovefate]

There are gods above us still, but yes. Your guess is correct.

[tradesecret]

...is that common?

[abovefate]

There used to be more, but they all killed each other for some stupid war in the past. Of those, only seven remain as rulers over an element and their territory. When I killed my creator, I became the Electro Archon.

[tradesecret]

But then, others decided to do something about that.

[abovefate]

Something like that. Ah, but that's a tale for another time.

[tradesecret]

Only if you're up for it. I won't push.
