Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.

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]

[ Bruno will allow the breather, stopping before the second set. He needs one as well, so, haha, no complaints here. ]

Well, my youngest niece and nephew probably would, but... they're the only ones I've spoken to in the past ten years, so. Y'know.

[ At least the kids are alright? ]

Hey, you never got a chance to hit me with a truth or dare. Seems only fair you do, right? So go ahead. We can start up the stairs again after I answer.

[impacter]

...I'll hold out hope for Pepa and Julieta as well. Maybe their children can be a building block for change.

[Generational pain wasnt exactly an easy fix... but the young had far more open hearts for fixing their paths from the scars left by their elders.]

Here I thought you didn't want to play. [He laughs, a little breathless as he takes a second to lean against the wall.] Sure. Truth or dare, Bruno?

[fallingsand]

Maybe. I'd like that, to talk to my sisters again.

[ Somehow, some way. He fails to mention how much consideration he's put into simply giving up and staying here, assuming there even is an option to, or even ever the option to go home. For now, it isn't certain, and his visions haven't revealed any real answer to him.

Ah, but truth or dare. Bruno gives out a quiet chuckle. ]

Welll, no, but mostly around everyone else. Who the heck knows what you're gonna ask, huh? Truth.

[impacter]

[He genuinely takes time to think it over, gaze growing thoughtful towards the Southern wizard. Considering, what it is he would genuinely like to know, without crossing a boundary.

...

His arms cross in front of him.]

If you could create a vision where one thing was guaranteed to come true exactly as you wanted... what would you want to happen?

[fallingsand]

Uhh, are we including the obvious one of "I would change my vision of my home being destroyed into just not happening" or do I need to come up with something new...?

[ Does Solomon even know about that? Because, hoo boy, a lot of other people do by now. ]

[impacter]

[Well! Now he does! That sure is depressing!]

Something new. Discard any visions you've already had, and use only what it is you know as concrete.

[fallingsand]

[ It is! Super depressing! ]

Something new... [ Okay, now he has to think about it. ] I mean, I did technically look into the future on this one already, and the answer was a big fat "not happening", but I would have liked to have a family of my own. I think I'd be an alright dad.

[impacter]

This is why I asked you to discard your visions.

I think you would as well. Even with all the teenagers we have running around here, you're gentle and dependable, but you don't let them get away with causing problems. Bloodline or not, I could see someone learning a lot with you as a father figure.

[It's cute to imagine.]

[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.

[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!]

[fallingsand]

[ cut to all the adults reduced to uselessness under the truth charm uh huh sure ]

Ha, well, yeah, I'm trying to get better at taking those. It hasn't been easy.

[ He moves back to offer Solomon some support before they take on the rest of the stairs. One step at a time, super old man. ]
