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]

[ Strive is not the word he would use. ]

It doesn’t make a difference if a situation is difficult since I carry these thoughts all the time. I can only be myself.

I’ll still be here when nothing else is. Is that devotion?

[impacter]

If you're choosing to be wherever it is? Then yes. I would call that devotion.

If not? Then I would call that resilience.

[Even if one stayed while everything else left against their own will, to be able to have the mindset to carry on regardless was still a strength.]

[lustro]

[ That’s not what Ginger thinks when he imagines devotion, but - what does he know anymore? ]

Then I suppose I am those things. I’ll tell Mika later.

[impacter]

I would like to see it now, if you could. That was part of your dare.

[ He doesn’t want Mika to see him struggle to say these things. They can come out of Solomon’s mouth, but what about Ginger’s? Mika has such tender feelings for him sometimes; this would hurt him. ]

Alright.

[lustro]

[ At some point, he’s off to talk to Mika about murder, very romantic. But he… does come back…

Good news: overall, it went better than he thought! Bad news: he now knows Solomon would kill him, so he’s upset again once he sees his face. ]

I did it. Let’s end it there.

[ Does he mean for good? No, there’s nothing final in his tone yet. He still…

Think we’re both tired from this.

[Chair-locked as he is, Solomon can't snoop with how Ginger blocks Mika with his broad back. So he waits patiently, Ginger getting his full attention once he slips back--

Ah. Well, that expression sure says a lot. He has to wonder what went wrong.

His eyes soften apologetically, but he'll nod his understanding.]

That's perfectly fine, Ginger. I'm sorry if my little exercise was more upsetting than helpful.

Thank you for coming to talk to me.
