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]

[ All he told Kurapika once was that he was a General with no elaboration thus far. ]

She is indeed an assistant of mine. The Chief Counselor of the Divine Foresight.

[revengier]

Ah, I see.

[ That makes sense. Only fully understanding the why of something once you're an adult and out of that context makes looking back a bit strange. ]

There are. I've been regarded with suspicion before for my own accent, up until I was able to blend in more seamlessly. There really are few languages in my world, so anyone with an accent is typically regarded with some suspicion.

[revengier]

[ A General. For all he knows, he could be the General of some obscure organization. ]

I see... Does that mean you work at an organization that can see the future?

[impacter]

I've been called far worse, Jing Yuan. You can take it easy.

[Just gonna pat pat those intertwined fingers with his free hand. There, there.]

Thank you for putting your trust in me for the time being.

Should we put a pause on this game for now? I'd rather not upset you like that again.

[impacter]

Why thank you.

I'd rather we not send the teens to an early case of liver failure, though. There's no fun to be had in that. [Said as he brings his glass to his own mouth.]

So, Jing Yuan? What does magic look like back home?

[foresightis2020]

Ah, it's more like a title granted to myself due to taking on the role of Arbiter-General of the Luofu. Consider it a secondary one; though there are those within the Xianzhou Luofu who can see into the future, like Master Diviner Fu.

[ So it is like, yes, and no. He just elaborated because it's a little more tricky than an entire organization being able to see into the future. ]

And, well, the 'organization' I am a part of is a section of the military - the Cloud Knights.

[revengier]

[ You know what? It's time to try and break his concentration.

Pulling a string out of his pocket, Kurapika mutters his incantation and it turns into chains.

Roll for escaping, Akira. ]

[foresightis2020]

...

[ He is...so it is up to Solomon to prove that he is making the right choice; distantly, he does feel the gentle tap against his hand.

Which reminds Jing Yuan how tense and worried he is still from that.

Which is a shame. He isn't fond of parties, but he enjoys games like this. So, he sighs, and there is a pause, before reluctantly, he says: ]

As much as it pains me, I am not quite feeling up to playing any longer. Still, it would benefit the both of us to take a break, at any rate.

[revengier]

Ah, and that's where the General title comes in.

[ Makes sense now, though he wonders what Jing Yuan looks like when he's in his General mode. Are his eyes sharp and focused rather than sleepy? ]

I suppose you use the diviners for military insight, then?

[troublereduction]

[ Day STILL has no idea who this guy is, either. Just that he's a Westie? ]

Hmm, truth.

[foresightis2020]

[ He may have nearly coughed into his drink...perhaps he finds a bit of black humor to be funny after all. How terrible. ]

...You are correct. There is none indeed.

As for how magic works back home, that can be based upon the Path one follows. And each Path happens to have a specific Aeon — ah, speaking of which...have I explained to you what Aeons are?

[foresightis2020]

Certainly so.

[ He actually gave his full General title too as well. As for how he looks when he is in General mode...maybe Kurapika might have an idea due to sparring things. Though it isn't like when sparring (whenever they do that) he goes full General mode then there either, since it is one on one and less leading. ]

And yes, we do. Though we can also have those within such a role help grant insight into general matters of concern to the Xianzhou Alliance. As you might imagine, space is quite vast, and so are potential issues.

[revengier]

[ Maybe one day he'll be unfortunate enough to see full General mode... ]

...Space?

[ Hold on. ]

Is the Xianzhou Alliance a spacecraft rather than its own country?

[foresightis2020]

[ It's entirely possible; at that point, he definitely will not be dispensing any mercy. Yanqing sees that mode all the time when he's sparring with Jing Yuan but he goes harder on him because he's going to help inherit things... ]

...It is a fleet of nine space-faring ships, to be exact.

There are living quarters for our people on them; large enough for one to hardly feel like they were anywhere else but on a regular planet.

[revengier]

That's fascinating.

[ And it reminds him a bit of the tower in Khun's world. ]

Is the interior built like a city, then? Restaurants and shops and places to spend your time?

[lighthaus]

Yeah right. [ shoves him playfully. ]

We both don't run from our feelings. Not like that, anyway. [ just in different ways. ]

[leewards]

Hmm. I believe that discussion is enough for now.

Truth or dare, Ginger?

[impacter]

Mn, you haven't. Enlighten me?

[leewards]

[Ithaqua smirks as his response, and then tilts his head towards Urianger.]

He'd tell you other points about me that he likes, but... Heheh. Ask him, or ask Ahito. He did pry into us earlier, after all.

But know this-- I, the sum of my parts, make him happy. [Then he reaches up to brush the back of his fingers along Urianger's beard.

It's clear that this relationship is.

Gross.]

[impacter]

That's perfectly fine. As for me, I might just entertain a few more from the boys while they still have their minds intact. But...

If you haven't gotten too tired of my troublemaking just yet, would you pull up a chair and sit with me?

[Eventually, Bruno will confiscate him, and Solomon will wave Jing Yuan to stay with the young so that he can have some time alone with his nurse equivalent. But it will be nice, to have a little company until then.]

Maybe you could take time to enjoy your drink a little more at your own pace.

[revengier]

[ He laughs, giving Khun a little shove in return. ]

No, we don't. Sometimes to our detriment too.

[lighthaus]

How "unlucky" we've been here.

[ sarcastically, obviously. ]

[lighthaus]

Hmm? [ he can make a guess but he's also not been addressing this unless it's been said to him first or come up more naturally in the conversation. ]

[impacter]

Haha... well, if they are reaping the consequences of their choices in the morning, then I'm sure there will be plenty to scold them over. I trust the adults present to intervene if things get too out of control.

[He'll give Bruno a pat on the back as he nods towards the stairs again. Alright, break over, he shouldn't stay here or he won't want to move at all.]

Thank you for telling me. I think this is the first time I've heard you accept a compliment. [Like, it immediately slid into doubts, sure, but it's improvement!]

[revengier]

[ He smiles. ]

Strange, isn't it? That the both of us would be unlucky like this.
