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]

I think just water's fine?

[ ...Says slightly tipsy man. ]

[foresightis2020]

[ That sure is a reaction, though Jing Yuan kind of ends up wondering what part of it started it in the first place. ]

...I know you cannot make any guarantees.

Especially with the state he is currently in; you could see it too, I imagine. How livid and undoubtedly even hurt he was.

As long as you are able to speak with him, and do what you can, I believe knowing you will try to resolve matters with him is better instead of doing nothing at all, and leaving things as they are. So, let it be known that I am grateful you will go ahead and do so.

[ Jing Yuan thinks he can't exactly have this sort of aspect of Solomon change overnight, though the words Robin spoke ring in his ear, clear as ever. He hopes to the Aeons that he treats that interaction respectfully and does apologize, because he does need to. But, it isn't like he can be a fly on the wall to listen to what is said or conduct the conversation. Only support him, yet also be there to say something when necessary. ]

...I've been made aware you are used to coming into clashes with others as well, while we have been here. I know that too can be fact a life, but I hope those can lessen over time as well.

[ Still, at the end of the day, Solomon is a man he cares deeply about, and even if they're not extremely about PDA, he will step closer, tilting his head, wordlessly extending a hand to the other male's. In an obvious and silent ask. Hold hands as they talk? It's now pride month. ]

[shadowkin]

Well, I'll be honest, I don't know how high you can hear...

[The typical hearing range for a human is between 20 and 20,000 Hz; which means they're getting into ultrasonic and animal frequencies, probably?? He tries to remember if there was a good documentary on this or if he ever discussed it with Epsilon...

Next is like... dogs? Cats? Bats?? He tries upping the pitch-frequency a bit more.]

^{How's this, then}?

[dyingtohealyou]

There's too many people who'd assume that if I came close that to dying, it's because I wasn't good enough to be on the field anyway. It pissed me off to think about.

[So- yeah.]

[fallingsand]

Well, I didn't look for an answer to "will I have a family", just something relevant to... that. Being a thing. I'd say it counts.

[ yeeaaaah, anyway. ]

But that's a nice thing to say, Solomon. Even if, uh, I'm pretty sure I'm letting them get away with causing lots of problems in the bar tonight. Just... they better not expect some hangover cures tomorrow.

[foresightis2020]

[ Okay, if Malice says so... ]

Very well, then.

What are three physical aspects about Yamato that you find extraordinarily attractive and why?

[ Attraction extends beyond physical traits but he is not asking about that, clearly. ]

[lustro]

[foresightis2020]

[ That's right, massive lion hours. ]

I am glad you think so.

I imagine my dear lion has missed me greatly, even if Qingzu most certainly must be keeping a close eye in my absence.

[shadowkin]

[Someone save this blondie he's somehow stuck firmly on the childhood friend route without even like, being present in the same dimension. That takes some doing, but is also not entirely out of the question for yandere childhood friendship plots.

Who wrote the script and worldbuilding for this. Why.]

..... Uh-huh. It's nice to have people you don't have to worry about.

[This is probably not correct but it is his frame of reference?? It's his turn to shrug, though.]

I don't know if it's a cult, but it's sanctioned by the government, so it's a proper church. They're just kinda... enthusiastic. And they do human trafficking. And I think they have-- like, rumors that there's assassins. [that's pretty normal for a state religion, though, right] There's also rumors about a real cult supporting their biggest enemy, but that's probably wishful thinking?

And that's 'cause I'm not a knight or anything. I'm just related to a few.

[divineth]

[Sounds like a plan!]

Very well. Then thou mayest call upon me the next time thou preparest to work on thy potions.

[foresightis2020]

[ We can pretend indeedy... ]

You will find no objections from me on that matter.

[ He too finds it a success, that the other man is here with them, and not in a terrible state from moving around. The little smile on his face spreads itself a bit more wider, though. ]

...But, ah, I see. And here I was wondering if you were trying to simply get others to drink more.

[shadowkin]

Ohh. A minimalist. I guess it's hard to be worldly if you're not in the world or something like that.

[Or sOmEtHiNg LiKe ThAt I'm sorry about him and his dumbass assumptions but here we are!!!

He blink-blinks at the mention of ramen, opens his mouth, closes his mouth and then nods firmly.]

But food doesn't count in that, obviously! I don't know where they got those noodles down that one back alley, but I think I'd also make that one of my priorities if you asked me...

[lustro]

Ah...

[lustro]

To... who?

[jokey]

[KEEPS FUCKIGN SPLASHING, WATER U GONNA DO ABOUT IT HUH]

[jokey]

[oh.....................

stop harshing his buzz solomon :( ]

[leewards]

Then I shall. Heheh. [Urianger in his room? He will never turn him down. Though he does make a mental note to make sure that all the gem stones are hidden away, so Urianger doesn't see his... other projects... before he's ready to reveal them.]

In the meantime, shall we enjoy ourselves? Why don't you drink a little? If you lose the ability to walk, I can carry you up to your room, heheh!

[lustro]

Yeah, they are.

[ What relationship issues? Mika is perfect. >:T ]

Back where I'm from... I think... uh... I - well, it felt like I was the only person struggling so much internally. No one seemed to understand - or... take it seriously. It wasn't until I arrived here that I realized I wasn't that alone. So that's... helped me improve - some.

Talking helps, what to you know?

[lustro]

[ No need for the kid-gloves. He's. Absolutely. Fine. ]

Dare.

[shortleash]

( He looks like he's about to protest about not worrying about Yuu - but hello??????
?
??????????
???
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? )

... Okay, so, if that's the church, how fucked up is the government?

[divineth]

[Very pointedly looking away,]

Nay, nay, I shan't be relinquishing mine inhibitions tonight. I shall leave such activities to the youths who orchestrated the gathering in the first place.

[That's only part of the reason, though. He's starting to catch on to the charms at play with these games. He has to keep his wits about him!!!]

[shortleash]

( ...

He considers this. )

... It's fine if they don't think I care about them. Or... if they don't like me in turn. As long as I can protect them...

( Very Hachiko. But... Given what happened to he, himself, during the East mission - where he was so upset he could not accept the protection given to him from anyone - he can perceive some further nuance in this situation. )

... But... it would a problem if they don't let me.

[impacter]

[When Ahito stops asking him depressing questions, he will stop giving depressing answers! :(]

[leewards]

Oh, very well. [Urianger... please... let loose for once...]

Ask me for a truth or a daring feat, then.

[dyingtohealyou]

[At least he seems to be getting it on his own, if only bit by bit.]

It already was a problem.

Make sure you talk to them. This isn't over yet - who knows when you'll need to rely on each other again.
