Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.

[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]

Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

Please wait until they're back in one of their rooms first.]

Ah, I see.

Not within the realms of what I'm used to, sorry. What you saw from me the first week was as close as I could manage, and it's meant for a spiritual connection that doesn't exist here.

I'm always here to theorize with you if you would find it helpful, though.

[revengier]

You nearly died?

[impacter]

Oh, is that a yes?

[Yay!]

Truth, of course.

[dyingtohealyou]

[Twice!]

Was all the blood not a give away...

[impacter]

Truth.

[leewards]

[Why'd he have to open the floodgates.]

He's not the only person to have accepted me for who I am, but he is the only one to have done so with neither judgement nor fear. He's intelligent, well-spoken, creative, powerful, an accomplished wizard whose talent is more than what I have seen here, but his talents lie in healing than battle. It takes a special sort of person to put their power into healing, rather than killing.

He is larger than life, if you put all of these together without looking at his actual character. [Then he refills his glass.] However, he stays kind and humble, and you're reminded that he is a man. How can someone be all of that, and still just who he is? And how can I look the other way when he directs all of that onto me?

[dadsandals]

Do you have anyone you like?

[dyingtohealyou]

...Is there anyone here you're actually trying to get close to instead of looking down from on high, as usual?

If so, name them.

[dyingtohealyou]

Seriously?

[He does drink, however.]

[shortleash]

It's not ignoring that part of him. Ginger already is more than the sum of his "parts." ( By seeing him as Ginger, you're accepting all of him! Obviously!!! ) Don't go telling him that that part of him is some kind of flaw.

( He doesn't care that Ginger thinks it's a flaw! Don't enable it!!!

He's a bit agitated right now, and the question only leaves him moreso. )

... I don't know. If I go back, I'm going to try to find a way to protect Yuu-chan as a demon, somehow. ( He knows his heart, he knows himself. ) And I should, because it's Yuu-chan, he's my family, and I need to make up to him every way I've failed him. But I—

( All that makes it out easy enough, even if it's a bit grim on his heart. But this... he struggles with. )

... I want to be with Ginger. I really... really want to. But I don't know how much he believes me.

( He feels guilty for remaining attached to Yuu, and guilty for wanting to stay with Ginger. So maybe it's all pointless, and maybe it doesn't matter either way what he does, because he's wrong no matter what and he's failing someone no matter what and both Ginger and Yuu deserve better. )

[lighthaus]

Seriously~.

[dyingtohealyou]

Have you met her?

[dyingtohealyou]

Truth or dare?

[impacter]

...I...

[A pause.





He is fighting the hell out of the charm again, but alas.]

Tatara. Akira. Jing Yuan. Bruno. Aragaki. Yourself.

And the spirits.

[shortleash]

( ... rrrrrghhhhhh......... )

... Fine. Okay.

( This is really difficult for Mika, but he doesn't want to be cut out, so... )

But try really hard, okay. Or I'll—

( tch his threats don't work here... he doesn't mean them.......... )

... Just try. Okay. And I will, too.

[impacter]

Of course.

[heehee]

Truth or dare?

[dyingtohealyou]

The planet where people refer to their whole world as being called "Earth." ...As opposed to other planets I guess?

[idk if there's much research into the stars it's not something he knows much about.]

[divineth]

[Man Urianger is sooooo stoic about this.

No he's not he's looking vaguely emotional what the hell.]

[fallingsand]

What made you think it was fine for you to drag your dusty old corpse out of bed and come to a party you weren't invited to?

[ Bruno is very often soft-spoken and nervous, that much is true, but let's not pretend he didn't learn to have a sarcastic edge between having to grow up with his mother (always judging) and his two sisters (what kind of "little" brother doesn't annoy his sisters). ]

[ Under his breath: ]

...Moe...?

[dadsandals]

[ But...nah. That's -- that's actually really, really touching, and while Yamato doesn't know Urianger as well, that all seems to check out. ]

He's a good man, and I can see where you're getting all of this from. It's nice to hear all of this. Congratulations.

[Ah, the noble rules of truth or dare, magically enforced..... does that make it more or less interesting? Cid is mostly done with his first drink because he's just been sort of lazily sipping apart from the one time, but have at him regardless.]

[impacter]

[He didn't tell Ginger anything of the sort. But he knows this isn't an argument he can have easily with Mika now that it's in his head.

So he exhales slowly, putting his cup aside.]

Trust in him, and talk to him. That is all you can do. Let him meet you in the middle with the rest.

Thank you for your questions. I will not be asking anything else from you.
