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]

Another amulet situation? [ ofc he's poking fun bc he can. ]

[fellheart]

Quite the opposite. That was because I was too exacting.

This is because I don't care enough.

[ what to do ... maybe she'll just ... wave a hand around, in slow, repetitive circles, stirring up the air and dust to craft the phantasmal image of a certain other northern wizard who very recently annoyed her

and latch onto it with a cheerful hug. it's just solid enough to not break immediately, though ...

seven, eight, nine, ten, and she tightens her grip, squeezing it tightly enough to shatter it. ]

[lighthaus]

[ watches this vaguely amused. ]

He seems to have that effect on people. Except for Jing Yuan.

[fellheart]

There's really no accounting for taste, it seems.

[ see: the parade of reactions to jy crushing on solomon. ]

[lighthaus]

[ he agrees mostly but there's the slightest inference that tatara is bad taste bc of jing yuan also crushing on him, so he has to add- ]

Hmm, old men crave company too. [ that sits better with him. ]

And truth for me.

[fellheart]

[ help not the bad taste by proxy ... ]

Is that what you think it is? That they're settling, because the pickings are so slim at that age? How very pitiful ...

[ my, khun. maybe old men just have bad taste. it's ok. sometimes someone with bad taste can still like someone who would be considered good taste (citation needed). ]

Three things you dislike in those you least favor here, in that case.

[lighthaus]

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.

[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.

[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?

[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.

[lighthaus]

Which is?

[fellheart]

Oh, probably that I emerged from the bowels of the earth intent on ridding the world of humanity from the start, because I was created wicked and cruel and with a thirst for destruction, and so of course it should be ordained that her chosen bloodline would be sworn to combat me with her divinely blessed toothpick, sworn duty and all that drivel. I don't keep up with whatever the current scriptures are to know their exact wordings.

[lighthaus]

[ khun grins with a small huff. ]

Isn't that a mouthful.

One more truth for me to make us even. [ and then he'll probably excuse himself to go pester kurapika or something. ]
