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]

[Ithaqua accepts the compliment with grace-- a nod, that is.]

You as well.

By the by... Yamato is here somewhere, heheh! Alas, not interested in drinking.

[foresightis2020]

[ Jing Yuan should have probably been expecting someone to ask about his relationship but help, there is Malice out here, doing something like that.

There's a moment of silence where he looks surprised. Next, he appears appropriately embarrassed. ]

How bold of you to ask, my dear friend.

But, haha...yes, something like that.

Ahem, imagine my surprise when matters turned out as they did. After all, I could not quite foresee the result. To which I say, we are doing the best we can, and I feel ever-so-fortunate for it.

[ ...

Solomon will probably need to prepare himself once he's recovered — enough, because he keeps pushing it — but anyway. ]

[leewards]

[Ithaqua eventually comes back after a chat.]

Don't threaten me with a good time. I've not gotten flustered with any of the questions so far. [Is he completely immune to being bullied? We shall see.]

[troublereduction]

You seem kinda unflappable in that regard, not gonna lie. You wanted to ask me somethin'?

[ He saw Ithaqua almost ask him earlier, before they remembered they're still playing a game. ]

[annihilator]

I do kinda wonder how much fun he'd be drunk...

[heh heh...]

But probably better for him to be responsible.

[annihilator]

[👀 👀 👀]

Hah, I'm glad to hear it! Sometimes ya can't see what's directly in front of you 'til someone else points it out. Glad I could help!

[He's so damn proud of himself. You got yourself a shady boyfriend, JY, good for you!!!]

[leewards]

[Oh, he knows that look. That's the silly lil look of someone who wants some mischief of a very specific sort. He knows what that's like.]

A shame~ You could have had some alcohol through him.

[annihilator]

[Malice's expression shifts for a moment - into something somewhere between surprised and guilty - until he shakes it off with a wry grin.]

Don't wanna hurt him if I can help it. Maybe I'll see if someone else'll volunteer.

[He has complicated feelings about feeding on Yamato, don't worry about it—]

[leewards]

Mm. [He crosses his legs and laces his fingers together on his belly.]

You said you want people to be happy, and yet you never mentioned a single way of making that happen. Quite vague, I think, but also makes me think that you'd coddle many to the point of taking on their worries for them, or worse, their duties as wizards. Am I wrong?

[leewards]

[Wow, Ithaqua may be selfish and silly but he's not stupid. If anything, he can start to recognize certain signs because he's already in a relationship.]

Good luck with that then. And in the meantime... I shall continue playing the game. However, if Yamato and I play again, I'll be much nicer to him.

[annihilator]

[Malice blinks at that, and then he smiles brightly.]

Thanks, Itha. Not like you need to treat him too carefully, but I think he'd appreciate it.

[leave the bullying to malice tbh because he cannot and will not stop.]

[troublereduction]

Hmm, let's start with a truth?

[leewards]

Oh, no-- he's quite terrified of me. Eventually, he quiets and refuses to speak more than a syllable here and there.

[annihilator]

Hah! Yama's perfectly fine 'round me though, wonder what the difference is?

[Probably because he annoyed Yamato nonstop until friendship fell out, but what can you do.]

[leewards]

I have that sort of charm, heheh.

[The charm of something straight out of a horror novel, he means.]

And I really do enjoy having such a reputation. [Even if it's falling apart now, given what's been happening recently.]

1/2

[fellheart]

A petty and self-involved jab, I see. He hears something he doesn't like, and retaliates like a child with something he knows very well I disdain. And of course, you oblige him.

You two really are meant for each other.

[ she can see it right now, actually: solomon + jing yuan, and the two hearts over their heads of support rank up. ]

[annihilator]

[It's true, Ithaqua is our local cryptid and we enjoy him(???).]

Well, try not to terrorize Yama too much! He's pretty damn important to me, after all.

[Which is understating it. A lot.]

[leewards]

But of course.

In any case, if you need me, I shall be with Urianger.

2/2s all the way down apparently

[fellheart]

[ conversationally: ] Do you wish to know why I detest worship so? Do you know what was done to reawaken me, simply because I existed, and not because I in any way might have wanted it?

In my current lifespan alone those who would call themselves devout to their faith have instilled and manipulated a puppet king into a long and bloody war to weaken another kingdom and lay claim on their most important artifacts. They assassinated a ruler who only wanted peace in pursuit of this goal. They galvanized the flames of another continent, swept the entirety of that one up in bloody conquest as well, all in order to collect the gemstones that would grant their stolen artifact the power they sought.

For the suffering of the people they were responsible for, they cared naught. A final step in pursuit of their greed: the ritual sacrifice of everyone who flocked to their poisoned faith in the wake of the chaos the puppet king's death left, a chaos they engineered. A feast the one it was meant for wanted little of.

Prostrate yourself and make yourself a fool. But, if you might still slake your thirst, then pick your poison from along the wall. I shan't entertain this foolishness when it is petty spite that fuels it.

[dyingtohealyou]

[...Damn, Robin is not okay either.

He is not looking and will simply take a long drink wherever he's seated.]

[annihilator]

You guys are pretty good friends, yeah? Have fun!

[unless you meant like. together together... 👀]

[chronosynthesis]

Attempt, is it? Alright then. Truth or dare?

[leewards]

Oh, no. [He flaps his hand.] We're far, far more than that.

You can ask Yamato about all the details, he had enough courage to ask me for them.

[chronosynthesis]

[Oh. Syrlya has to stop and consider that, looking pensive.]

Oh, she might be. Hundreds of years is too short of a time to be sure but there hasn't been any signs of her degrading.

[annihilator]

[GASP]

Oh nice, congrats you two! Glad to hear it, Uri's real cute, you've got great taste!
