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]

It is.

[ khun agrees and decides to leave that there because he is behaving tonight!

and the question is interesting besides. ]

Righteousness and the narrow-minded focus on what's "right". Not because I'm inclined to the opposite, though I am, but because those type of people annoy me because it tends to be all they focus on.

Overzealous empathy or emotions with the expectation of mutual understanding. It's a waste of time.

Being indirect and belaboring the point. Again, it's a waste of time.

[dyingtohealyou]

It all sounds so unbelievable...

[shortleash]

( he'll get you yet, )

... Are you planning on heading back after all this?

[dyingtohealyou]

Of course.

[Immediately.]

[lighthaus]

[ he takes a sip of his beer with a sigh. ]

Like sunburn being real for me. [ or even existing but he won't mention that! ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Snickering. So even Khun has to deal with weird world differences, huh?]

Bet that one was a surprise.

[lighthaus]

Why do you think I didn't do anything at the beach party?

[ him and tatara were holed up in the shade because yeah, that sucked! ]

[dyingtohealyou]

I was busy with other stuff - if it makes you feel better, I didn't even notice.

[Other stuff = harassing Solomon.]

[lighthaus]

[ waving his hand. ]

This has turned out to be the real party anyway.

[dyingtohealyou]

We figured people could use a chance to unwind.

[impacter]

The world of humanity, the Celestial Realm, and the Devildom. Or, if you're being a little more classical, you could call them Earth, Heaven, and Hell.

[Surpwise.]

That's right. This is far more akin to a warlock's job than what I'm used to, though. Relying on an outside entity for one's magic is a lot more fickle.

The longer our bonds strengthen, though, the easier it is to test our limitations.

[fellheart]

Heheh. You've quite the focus on efficiency, don't you? But I can't say I quite disagree with any of it.

[ indeed, a lack of measure in any of the things mentioned just becomes tiring. ]

A truth, then, by the way.

[jorunna]

She's really smart, unlike my dad. Probably? But I think there are other things on her mind.

[annihilator]

Heh, I sure hope so!

[malice pls]

Thanks though, Jin. It's appreciated!

[dyingtohealyou]

Like what?

[lighthaus]

[ khun just smiles--time is a resource and like all resources, he leans into getting the most out of them that he can. ]

What's the biggest misconception about you?

[jorunna]

Business stuff, she runs a store. Mom stuff, she has another kid. Also Dad is still sick and medicine helps him even if it's not curable.

[ A lady so capable... ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Ah... yeah, that'd keep anyone busy.

As long as the medicine makes it more bearable, at least...

[Incurable shit sucks, ask him how he knows.]

[fullspbar]

[ Yeah...no, at the very least, he doesn't have to worry about that stuff from Khun.

Shinjiro is definitely not shameless, so he has 0 interest in doing this sort of things where people can see and judge, but alas. He's already agreed. The dice are cast. ]

...Don't even start with that. I have no interest in thinkin' about it.

[ Literally. He's seen enough relationship shenanigans going on here, he's tired of it. Can you homosexuals hurry it up.

Either way, it's with a displeased grimace that Shinjiro finally gets up to do as requested. He is definitely not accustomed to picking people up, but he still tries to make it as quick and painless as possible; hands coming up under Khun's arms to lift...and then give one short, awkward little spin.

He cannot put the guy down fast enough. Alright, we're done here. ]

There. If he complains, tell'im where to shove it.

[lighthaus]

[ well that was pretty painless? khun looks at shinji's face though after, wow. ]

Thanks.

...you know, I'm surprised you're even here.

[fellheart]

'Biggest?' Now, if that isn't something that requires somewhat more definition.

[ ... ]

But I suppose ... probably some of the most widespread might be whatever it is that the followers of Naga preach about me.

[erythropoiesis]

Perhaps, but it is also possible we could translate the base concept to another world...

[He's thinking about this very seriously.]

Curing tempering was long thought impossible, but the impossible happens more than we realize. It could still work, given the right resources.

[mirristry]

[And this time Phil actually steps closer, leans into that hug and wraps his own arms around Day to embrace him in return. The tears now are ones of pure joy, the smile on his face probably the single most genuine one Day has seen on his face yet. At last, after so many years of heartache, of never having the hope of being anyone's first choice, he is loved by the person he loves, and it's such a wonderful and amazing feeling that he thinks his heart might burst.

Maybe it's selfish. No, it almost definitely is. But this is something that's his and his alone, and he wants to take it and hold it tight and never let it go for as long as this world sees fit to allow him that much. And for once? He delights in this selfishness, in this thing he desires so much for himself that he would fight for it until his dying breath.

Because is it really selfishness when Day is holding him just as tightly?]

[fellheart]

Yours truly was not a generous world to those who lived within it, was it?

I am aware of schools of magic in the past where one paid for their spellcraft via their own quintessence, but ... recovery from that, provided they don't overexert themselves, is just a matter of rest or having someone else heal them.

[ that doesn't seem to be the case in ahito's. ]

[leewards]

Mmm. [He has to concede that point... and Ithaqua wants to still remain optimistic.

Or, at the very least, open to any idea. Any possible solution for his mother. Or perhaps the people of the plateau's town, just so they stop coming after her. But primarily his mother, of course. If this can cure a form of mental instability, why not his mother's current problems?]

Could you tell me more about this tempering? Cult fanaticism aside, what else is it about?
