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]

[Are they though. Are they.]

[lustro]

[ The experiment was a failure, but the murder was a success, wasn’t it? ]

Sorry… I won’t pry more than that. I’m glad you’re here, Ahito.

[shortleash]

( ... Well, after he ratshook Ahito... fine... )

... Truth.

[lighthaus]

[ now he's just pouting!!! ]

Tatara. [ maybe whining a little too. ]

...I can't stay in bed forever, but you almost make me wish I could.

Had a hair color other than black

[shadowkin]

[He seems weirdly proud of this.]

[lustro]

[ It’s not complicated until it is, until he unravels the layers and layers of hope and disappointment he’s put into the idea of Rum and his feelings for him. ]

That is… the lesson here. Talking about things helps, yeah? So let’s do it.

[divineth]

[Mika should do what Bruno did and make Urianger translate himself.]

Humans of that time period also spoke this way, but it hath since fallen out of favor with the common tongue. However, it was preserved in literature. This literature I did greatly enjoy in my youth, leading me to adopt it for mine own use.

[fellheart]

[ baffled, from the other side of the bar: ]

— I don't talk like that?

I don't think any dragon I've known has talked like that, actually.

[shortleash]

( If Urianger could surely he'd be doing it already, right... Like obviously he can tell no one else talks like this right... )

So you just... really like talking like that?

( Trying to confirm he's understanding the meaning here because (help). But that's also... kinda nerdy if so??? It's like being a trains guy but for old talk. )

[dyingtohealyou]

Tell me all the people you care about most here.

[shortleash]

( ???????

wait )

You're a dragon for real?

( That wasn't just a transformation choice u made bc it was cool ??? )

[divineth]

Aye. 'Tis always been my preference.

[It is absolutely nerdy.]

[foresightis2020]

I see, I see...

You must have been talking to Ginger for quite awhile in order to have made quite the impression.

[ He doesn't think it too unusual. Robin doesn't seem like the type to easily offend anyone or at all in most situations, from his perspective. ]

/2

[lighthaus]

I'm sure.

[ cold, snappy, since he really doesn't like to be questioned when it comes to tatara. ]

[shadowkin]

[Looks up. Sighs gustily. Looks back down into his drink.

I'd say he's joining the grandpa contingent in thinking this is what happens when you put teenagers in a bar but 1. Tatara isn't a teenager and 2. The grandpas are just as guilty and therefore 3. The bar is in wizard hell (neutral) (soap opera edition).]

[foresightis2020]

[ What do you mean uh oh? He's only going to ask innocent questions. ]

Mm...hello.

What reason did you obtain those tattoos for?

[ He is asking what he thinks to be a mildly simple question. Though with all of the conversations going on, it could've been covered (hopefully not) ]

[impacter]

[Ah, Jing Yuan managing a question nobody has gotten around to asking in depth. He exhales slowly.]

Power.

Because they aren't tattoos.

[divineth]

[Grima out here like "not all dragons"]

'Tis possibly a unique characteristic of the dragons that settled Etheirys eons ago.

[fellheart]

[ dryly, seeing how far he can push the truth charm: ] No, I picked a complicated transformation involving many complex anatomical changes that could have dire consequences if botched, when that isn't the magic favored by the Northern spirits, in the middle of a chaotic battleground with many other things going on all because I wanted to test my limits.

—is what I'd say, but since we're all compelled into truthfulness by this charm, yes, I am a dragon 'for real'.

[ it might be a bit more complicated than that but it sure does boil down to it in the end, and isn't that what counts. ]

[shortleash]

What the hell!

( He was going to ease off!!!!!!!!

Thankfully, the most stipulation shaves down this list a little. In no particular order because I scrolled up and down the taken list for this: )

Ginger. You. Everyone in East. Maya. Malice. Jing Yuan. Leo. Bruno.

—Seriously, what the hell!

[lighthaus]

[ but it settles once he hears the why.

ah, that. this too is quiet, and he's not sure why he's speaking this (part of the spell but also maybe it's because he carries it with him in everything he does)]

I know. [ this isn't something they've figured out yet, but it's also not something he's given up on either. to the contrary, every part of him aches for tatara to not accept things just because.

he thinks...he knows they've become more hopelessly entangled since then, mutually. but this isn't something he knows the answer to right now, all he knows is that he's-they're committed to walking forward until khun asks again. ]

I told him I'd break the universe for him. And he told me how happy I make him and how he'll always want me.

I'll—We'll figure out the rest.

[ not right now, they're not ready. but he knows they will. ]

[fellheart]

I think I may have answered some questions he asked in a way that might have been a bit more accidentally profound than either of us was expecting?

[ he is also a ye olde, and therefore sometimes half the things ginger says are just ??? ]

[lighthaus]

[ smiles pleasantly.

cid you've probably known this longer than most considering the whole camcorder thing. ]

[fellheart]

It's possible. Even with the Outrealms being a known phenomenon, seeing the linguistic overlaps and differences between differing worlds has been ... interesting, to say the least.

[ why, again, are most of the incantations here spoken in ancient valentian (which is basically corrupted latin or greek). ]

[revengier]

Just the one is fine.

[ All that matters is that he takes a sip!! ]

What do you mean by "probably"?
