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]

Sure, I guess? I think there's parallel Earths, if you put it that way...

[For all he knows both worlds he's been on are called Earth?! Or he's being deliberately vague. Either or. Noncommittal sippy go.]

[impacter]

[RIP honesty charm so that Solomon can't sass right back.]

I was lonely.

[1145pm]

Mm.

[ Tatara is not thinking. He wreathes his arms and Khun's neck and drags him down again, eyes closed and all smiles.

He says quietly, just for him, ]

I love you.

[ And kisses him again? In front of everyone? Yes. ]

[leewards]

[Ithaqua gives a shrug. He never really cared for the perception of others, though he has to try now because there's someone else attached to him. So while he's personally unaffected by the well-wishes, he looks up at Urianger, and gives his hand a pat.]

Seems you're satisfied with that answer?

[troublereduction]

Pay someone here a compliment. Preferably someone you don't speak to much.

[1145pm]

[ :D??????? ]

[fallingsand]

[ Oh, that takes the wind out of Bruno's sails right there. Wow. ]

...oh. Solomon. You know you could have just said something.

[1145pm]

Hmmm.

[ Tatara looks around the crowd and then leans into Khun again. ]

You're right. But I think Day could get it, right?

[ You know. Assuming Day wants to get it. ]

[shadowkin]

Realms... [yeah, sounds about right, actually] What realms, exactly?

[Like, he knows where he knows he knows Solomon's seal and the name of Barbatos from, but given how messy things are here it's a toss-up.

His curiosity is generally piqued, though -- he knows that Earth itself doesn't permit magic, so that's a given, but magic that's out of this world is funny when it takes forms he knows.]

Hmm. Theory can only take you so far, but now that you mention it, you've probably also had ideas for the magic here. Right?

[dyingtohealyou]

[Any sense of victory from the struggle against the charm is squashed at the end there.

He falls silent, conflict clear on his face. Solomon is - basically everything he hates about magic users. He's made that point clear time after time.

So why...? What the hell is he playing at...?]

[impacter]

[He gives a tired wave of his hand as he braces himself to stand from his chair, posture unsteady enough that his grip never leaves the armrest.]

It's -- mn -- it's alright. [Okay, on his feet, hooray.] I think I've overstayed my welcome, anyway.

[1145pm]

Whoa...

[ Tatara looks up and marvels at the magic, and for a second, he feels like he can't breathe.

It is romantic. And he turns to look at Khun, his smile soft. ]

It's beautiful, Aguero. Thank you.

[ Because he assumes it's for him. ]

[divineth]

[Urianger can handle the well-wishes! And since he's y'know, right here, he smiles at Ithaqua before giving a small bow toward Yamato.]

Thou hast my gratitude, Yamato.

[impacter]

[His eyes soften, before tracing back down to his cup.

He wont ask anthing else of Ahito, especially with Bruno now stalking him like a vulture. Maybe it's best to leave it right where it is for now.]

[1145pm]

Mmm...

[ Well, he can't beg. Khun would kill Kurapika if he did that, too. ]

I could make you a latte with your favorite animal as foam art? Oh! I can bake you some cookies? Your favorite kind!

[troublereduction]

[ Day's just listening on this, since he has context for some of Solomon's answers. It's kind of awful that he can relate to Solomon on some points, even as he inwardly grimaces at the idea of Solomon being willing to fight the entire manor if he felt he had to.

(He's squinting a little at the mention of a pact, because that just sounds like a terrible idea if you ask Day. But it's also a moot point, so he won't comment.) ]

[1145pm]

[ he's here to be moisturized and unchallenged. ]

Okay, then who's your favorite person in the manor?

[impacter]

Akira.

[He doesn't even need to think twice about that.]

[lighthaus]

[ the fact that they're in the bar doing this of all places is doing the associations he has no favors. he kisses back of course, ears slightly flushing when he hears those words. ]

I love you too. [ just for him.

...he feels the alcohol only a bit because he's not handicapping himself tonight, but that makes him realize with a blink, so he shifts to kiss the corners of his boyfriend's mouth instead so he can talk. ]

Tatara. Let me know when you want to go back, okay? [ he'll take responsibility for that bourbon which is his fault, since he noticed that tatara was drinking orange juice before that. ]

[fallingsand]

Overstayed your...?

[ Bruno moves to offer Solomon an arm to lean on once he's up on his feet. ]

Geez, can't you go two hours without upsetting people?

[fellheart]

[ maybe the norths are just secretly party animals who like drama... ]

[fellheart]

[ but that comment was so pointed it's like itha wants to say something about them in specific? what would he like to hear, hmm? ]

[impacter]

Hah... I really do wonder sometimes. Maybe it's a curse.

Mn, thank you. [Just taking that arm without further argument. Lead him away, officer.] Sorry, Bruno. I didn't mean to worry you so harshly.

[lighthaus]

I guess? [ his expression is weird like he doesn't know what face to make. see normally he wouldn't care but they just had that talk after the northern wizards came back so he's very much recalibrating.

also day isn't his type.

after a beat where he wraps an arm around his boyfriend. ]

I'd say Maya.

[ ...she's closer to his type. ]

[1145pm]

[ He giggles quietly at the suggestion, the kiss to his mouth. ]

I wanna play a little more. [ He's all smiles; he lifts a finger and taps Khun's lips. He probably won't be drinking anymore after this, so the implications go over his head. ] But, later. I'll find you.
