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]

Nope.

[impacter]

Why?

[dyingtohealyou]

There's nothing anyone can do about it, so they don't need to know.

[Simple as that.]

[impacter]

[Fair enough. He brings his own glass back to his lips.]

Truth again, please.

[dyingtohealyou]

...Is there anyone here you're actually trying to get close to instead of looking down from on high, as usual?

If so, name them.

[impacter]

...I...

[A pause.





He is fighting the hell out of the charm again, but alas.]

Tatara. Akira. Jing Yuan. Bruno. Aragaki. Yourself.

And the spirits.

[dyingtohealyou]

[Any sense of victory from the struggle against the charm is squashed at the end there.

He falls silent, conflict clear on his face. Solomon is - basically everything he hates about magic users. He's made that point clear time after time.

So why...? What the hell is he playing at...?]

[impacter]

[His eyes soften, before tracing back down to his cup.

He wont ask anthing else of Ahito, especially with Bruno now stalking him like a vulture. Maybe it's best to leave it right where it is for now.]

[dyingtohealyou]

...I don't get you. Why do you care? What are you getting out of this?

I've been fighting you since practically the start.

[So- why the hell is he still trying? What does he have up his sleeve that Ahito's missing?]

[impacter]

Maybe it's because I'm not happy to see what has become of you because the world treated you so poorly.

Even if you consider me something horrific, I still don't want to perpetuate that. Whether I earn anything or not doesn't matter to me.

Call it a matter of principle.

[dyingtohealyou]

[He has his answer, and yet - from his expression, he still isn't, can't be satisfied with that.

Solomon is exactly the type of magic user he hates most, looking down on everything around him, more interested in his own goals rather than the lives of the people around him. But the truth charm means every word is, well, the truth. And if that's the case...

...

He can't reconcile it. Especially when he's not exactly firing on all cylinders to begin with, thanks to the drinks.]

Your priorities are messed up.

[Take him away, Bruno.]

[impacter]

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. But I'll have to disagree.

[Away he goes, though. Bye kid.]
