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]

[He gets the sudden and unwelcome meta feeling that these grandpas were made for each other. Terrible.]

[shortleash]

( Well, chase your bliss, I guess. )

I mean, if that's what you like... ( ? Can small things like that make a person happy? He isn't sure. Maybe. ) Doesn't bug you that people don't always get what you mean?

( Genuine question. )

[foresightis2020]

[ Excitement levels increase... ]

Oh? You have never seen one?

[ Jing Yuan just whips out his cellphone!!

He will show a photo of his massive lion. It is white, big, and fluffy. ]

[foresightis2020]

[ Perhaps so, but also enlightening all the same.

There's a moment of silence because he remembers just how many symbols were drawn all over Solomon when he was practically exposed at the beach. Which is definitely, indeed, not a non-insignificant number. ]

...You've made quite a great deal of pacts, then.

Yet, even so, you've managed to persist as you are despite that. I imagine making agreements with dark powers usually takes quite the toll on an individual, does it not?

[foresightis2020]

[ Maybe it was just an illusion, but wow...! ]

[impacter]

Yes. Seventy-two, to be exact.

[The beach saw probably half of that, because his body only has so much space.]

It can be. Holding a pact is pretty mild in itself. It's the conditions of those pacts, the willpower needed, and the effort required to use them that make them a dangerous form of magic. A human would normally perish under the effort of using more than one.

[fallingsand]

Alright, I'll drop by with his enclosure before I go. It's, uh, fairly open? And he might get into your stuff a bit if it's edible but otherwise, he won't make a mess, honest.

[ Although he may use Solomon's toothbrush as a fur brush, uh. Anyway. ]

Huh, so you're permanently in your twenties? Y'know, I bet that explains how you keep getting yourself in trouble. You never grew out of it. [ Ahahaha... ha. Maybe. Cough. ] So.

[ Here come the stairs. Up you go, grandpa. ]

I'm one of the people you're trying to get close to, huh?

[ Oh yeah, he caught that last part before he stopped behind Solomon's chair, no escape. ]

[mirristry]

[Does a video call on a mirrage comm count?]

[mirristry]

[HAHAHA, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO DRINK FOR THIS!!!]

[foresightis2020]

[ Only half...damn. ]

...The key word is normally.

How is it you have been able to sustain yourself with holding so many pacts without crumbling underneath the entirety of such a burden? It is clearly beyond just having willpower when you have reached quite a number.

I dare say even efforts, but this is not an area in which I hold expertise in.

[ Jing Yuan is not intimately familiar with the idea of demon summoning, and quite frankly, those at the Xianzhou Alliance would probably balk at their General getting along with someone who is. But, he is built different than them. ]

[mirristry]

... that's certainly one way to ensure that everyone here will drink.

[And yep, Phil is absolutely taking a drink for this one.]

[foresightis2020]

[ Suffering...engaged.

Jing Yuan takes a sip whilst looking extremely bewildered like how? He hears the answers so it does not become audible, but still??? ]

[impacter]

Haha - so long as he won't try to eat me like Cerberus, I'm sure we'll do great. [RIP when Solomon finds that toothbrush fact out the hard way.]

Physically, at least. My mind is definitely feeling its age at times -- [Ah, time for a pause as they work on the steps. Coordination doesnt seem to be a problem, but Bruno's being used pretty heavily for leverage and balance as though the older wizard is bracing to pass out.

Thankfully, he doesn't just yet! Small miracles, though he's a little winded when Bruno asks his followup question, leaving Solomon looking sheepish.]

Ah, so you heard that. Does that surprise you?

[lighthaus]

[ wink. ]

[foresightis2020]

[ Because is why (who knows...) ]

[lighthaus]

Mostly everyone.

[ gazes at ginger! ]

[fallingsand]

[ Up they go, one step at a time. Bruno wobbles a little under Solomon's weight but he'll manage. ]

Yeah? Kind of? I mean, I punched you after we got out of jail that one time, then I was spying on you? Then you hexed me because I was being nosy?

[ Solomon sure has a funny way of deciding who to try and get close to! ]

[shadowkin]

[Have you looked at what else is going on in this bar, he is in the right for this???]

[divineth]

'Tis a barrier of mine own making, therefore I have only myself to blame if I am misunderstood.

[Which is to say, if he was truly bothered he'd stop doing it.]

However, I would have it known that I am always willing to offer alternate phrasing for the sake of clarification.

[shadowkin]

[Phil wins for once!!!! But at what cost....]

[mirristry]

W-what?!

[THIS POOR MAN, EVERYONE IS OUT TO MURDER HIM TONIGHT

Anyway he sure is turning a very interesting shade of red there!]

[mirristry]

[He considers this for a moment. At this point he's a couple of drinks in, so:]

Dare.

[He will live to regret this in approximately .5 seconds.]

[mirristry]

N-no, wait!

That is, I haven't read them yet, so... I did say that I wanted to read everything in the library...

[And oh is he regretting that right about now.]

[mirristry]

Isn't that effectively the same thing?

[If Khun was aiming to get this party rowdy then he's sure on the right track!]
