[closed] so raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways

[fluturi]

Who: Nick and Euridice Taverna
What: Going to get good alcohol and getting drunk like the classy people they are. Also maybe kissing.
When: Day 165
Where: In some awesome bar somewhere in Asgard after meeting in Gefion Park
Rating: PG-13 just to be safe, because Nick is Nick.


[If there's one thing that Nick prizes, one thing invented by human beings which he actually likes, it's alcohol. There's nothing like having your head spin with dazed euphoria, not having to worry about any worries or nagging doubts that hung on after a long day.]

[But the problem is, he's picky. He won't just have any regular alcohol. No, he wants the best, something that will really hit home. He hates this place, he hates numerous people in it, and he wants something that will make him forget about all of that for a good amount of hours. Problem is, he's too lazy to go and find the bar by himself.]

[So, he waits for Euri, hands in his pockets, glaring occasionally at a grey-faced local passing by. He needs his alcohol, and he needed it yesterday. Yeah, sure, he would have to buy drinks for her too, but that was a small price to pay for knowing about a good location to go to when he had enough of the people blabbering about wars and gods and the like.]

[Time to get smashingly drunk.]

Comments

[fluturi]

Right, Give the most vague answer you can give. Great.

[He sips his as well, closing his eyes and shaking his head for a moment at the sudden spike of the buzz in his head, before turning back to her.]

So, it's either deal with the gods who see you as nothing but a pathetic, or do a Faustian soul exchange for getting magic. Sheesh, anything that won't cause you to get harmed in the end?

[occulthymns]

Fah-wha? What are you talking about? [And it isn't just the alcohol confusing her.] The old gods don't see us as pathetic and getting a familiar is great!

[fluturi]

Faustian. Like that-that guy who gave his soul to the devil to get power? No, never read it?

[He lets out a "pffft" at that.]

Riiiiight. Which is why your gods will allow you to die in agony if you get yourself in a situation in which your powers don't help you. Or something like that. You'll never be on their level. And a familiar? How are you so sure that your little demon friend won't go and become a psychopathical soul eater on you? I mean, so many things could go wrong, in my mind, even though I don't know half the rules that go on in your world.

[occulthymns]

....

..........

... I think you've had enough to drink.

[fluturi]

Yeah, and now you're telling me about how little I should drink, and you know what? Bugger off. I'll drink as much as I want, Euri.

[He glowers at his drink before taking a few more gulps of it.]

No...I'm not properly drunk yet. These things take a while, for Moths....

[occulthymns]

Hey, it isn't my fault you're already saying some really ridiculous things! Psychopathical soul eater?? Come on!

[fluturi]

Well, I mean, think about it! You have serial killers, why not demons that go on rampages to eat everyone's soul! I mean, really.

[occulthymns]

That's stupid. Why would a demon do that? Especially a familiar!

[fluturi]

Unless demons are fuzzy little critters who can't harm anybody, then I'm not buying it.

I mean, the soul thing is just sinister, really.

[occulthymns]

... Do you have demons in your world?

[fluturi]

Nah, but from what I've read of them, they're nasty little things. They will always trick you, always.

[occulthymns]

They aren't that bad.... At least, not to Witches. We like having them around.

[fluturi]

Do they play fetch with you? Are they like your little pets?

[occulthymns]

No.

[Just for that as soon as she's done this drink she's ordering another 8|||]

[fluturi]

[He just laughs at that.]

You know, if I ever do get a demon to bond with me out of sheer stupidity, I'm going to name it Rover and teach it tricks, like jumping through hoops and fetching the newspaper. Really, just imagining it...

[A pause as he lifts his drink to take a sip again, but then he can't help himself from snickering again, making the glass in his hand shake.]

I mean, just think of the mental image! I'll show it who's boss, just like a ruler would...That'll show it, the little soul stealer.

[And then he grows silent because wait he might have said something he didn't mean to say OOPS...]

[occulthymns]

[She just about misses it - she's getting pretty offended.]

That isn't how it works, idiot. And what do you mean by 'ruler'?

[fluturi]

[There's a pause, and then he snickers again and takes gulp of his drink.]

Like, I'm the ruler of the thing, right? Once it bonds with me, I'm it's master. King of the demons.

[And then he gets a dismissive wave.]

But enough of that...you get my point, right? I'm not going to bond with the things. Not at all. You bond with them all you want.

[occulthymns]

[Euri sighs heavily, rolling her eyes.]

Yeah, fine. You don't get it anyway, so I'd feel bad for any demon you'd try to bond with. You'd end up doing it all wrong and just insult them.

[fluturi]

Yeah, whatever, like I could care less if I did.

[And finishing his second-third?- whatever number drink down, looking over at her with a wide grin.]

Say...you chose the whole butterfly motif for your outfit because of me, didn't you? I'm flattered.

[occulthymns]

Butterfly motif?? Hardly! I just look good in purple.

[She snorts.]

Besides, I have way more butterfly-ish clothes at the mushroom. This is nothing.

[fluturi]

Right, right. Because me and flying insects and purple aren't a thing at all.

[He reaches over to pick at some of the fabric on her shoulder, as if trying to see it better.]

You do? What kinds?

[occulthymns]

[She doesn't mind that too much. In fact, she looks amused at the attention.]

Are you that interested?

[fluturi]

Hey, what can I say, butterflies are...are just kind of a thing with me, okay?

[And a slight snicker as he pokes her with a long finger, grin ever so wide.]

So, tell me what kinds you have.

[occulthymns]

[She shrugs lightly, sipping at her drink.]

Well, I've got some other accessories.

And lingerie.

[fluturi]

Lingerie?

[Okay, back to his drink, he needs to be way more drunk for this.]

That's...the lacey stuff that you people wear underneath your clothing, isn't it?
