zenderael_mmo | [EVENT] - Valentine's Solstice

Who: Open!
When: Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd (Bonfire on the 21st)
Where: Days' End League Hall
Before/After: N/A
Warnings: Violence (Val/Nova), vomit (a few threads??), fireworks, mention of death

[Valentine is hosting a Solstice party at Days' End! Some got invited, and if she ran into you anywhere for longer than two minutes she may have invited you. There is booze and games and dancing and floral wreaths and festival foods and everything. If Val saw you at the party you may well have gotten wreathed.]

[It's a pretty open-invite party though, so even if you weren't personally invited, wandering in off the street is perfectly acceptable. They've got a few random partiers showing up, both Earthers and Zenners, and there are several Earthers residing on the premisis also in attendance, as well as most of Days' End's members.]

[The bonfire gets lit early Tuesday and Valentine and Flambre keep it going through the day into the wee hours of the night (except for around one hour after sunset where she runs off to attend the druid ceremonies). The majority of the loud partying will likely happen on that day.]

[ he stops the bottle with his thumb, then points it down -- a thumbs down! ]

You're not an alchemist anymore!

You got it!

I'm a berserker!

[ ............... uh ]

What, seriously?

The initiation was earlier today! I almost died!

[he sounds proud of that?]

[ righting his jack daniels now... ]

How did you even survive?

The Ahura stepped in. I think he always steps in when the trial beast is about to kill someone. [nobody at the trial he was at died, anyway

actually the Ahura impressed him despite being a player MUSN'T LET ALEX KNOW]

They said I demonstrated 'gutsiness' because I stabbed it from underneath but then it almost trampled me.

Only one person actually beat it...

What! [ back in HIS DAY, they had to defeat the beast!! no WONDER the berserkers lost to the ahura in the tournament; this generation is too soft!!!

can't say that tho ]

Did you catch their name?

Acher.

[apprehensive sigh]

He's someone I know from elsewhere....

Ah.

[ suddenly thrusts the bottle out to nova ] Ten.

Ten?

[ he retracts the bottle, thoughtful ] Five? yes, perhaps... [ looking around, spotting a small group nearby and making his way over to them, and if nova follows, he'll hear alex mumbling to himself, then charming a (used) shot glass from them.

he turns around and fills the glass, then holds it out to nova. ]

You can do five.

Five shots? That's a lot, isn't it?

[no wait]

I CAN DO IT THOUGH.

[he takes the shot and downs it... in... multiple distinct swallows

even though it's a shot]

That's... That's not how. [ nova how old are you, did your stupid player not show you how to-- ugh fuck whatever. the mildly irritated expression on his face smooths out. alex nabs the empty shot glass and fills it for himself, then knocks it back in one go.

he refills the glass and hands it to nova. ] Like that.

What? You can do it wrong?!

[he watches indignantly and then tries it when offered

there's some sputtering but a partial success??]

[ better, but NOT GOOD ENOUGH. he repeats the process, pouring one for himself and then passing it onto nova. at least he's doing it with him??

not sure if five shots coupled with what he already drank is a good idea, though... he doesn't intend to get smashed... ]

Have you ever been to a bar?

Of course!

But who cares whether you drink it all at once? [downs this one as well; it's an ordeal]

That's what a shot is! [ duh, nova!! ] Come on, Nova! Even paladins can take shots.

[ there is no relevancy in that statement; his hateboner for paladins is just showing ]

Well, no one told me!

[when you say it that way, it just sounds embarrassing!]

Give me another one! You said five, right? Or ten?! I could do ten!

[probably not a good idea though]

Edited 2013-01-19 21:24 (UTC)

[ he wiggles the bottle between them, looking at the sloshing liquid line ] There's enough, all right. I don't suppose you fancy walking into the fire?

I wouldn't walk into the fire.

...

Do people drink them all in one gulp to look tough or something?

That's just how it is. That's how it's always been. That's what a shot is!

[ yes! you're a ninny if you can't do it! ]

Ten of them is probably going to get us both doing really stupid shit. [ actually he'd need a bit more because molavvas means he detoxes faster than normal and has a higher endurance, but. ten is still kind of a lot to take in the span of, what, five minutes?

he fills the glass and hands it to nova. ]

Edited 2013-01-19 21:54 (UTC)

I guess that explains why Chisaki was laughing at me.

[or one reason, anyway

one more down! oof!]

[ sigh

wait ]

This world is too fucking small. [ he pours himself a shot, then throws it back, but screws the cap on ] Let's adjourn. Are you really a berserker?

Unless there's an extra step I don't know about.

Hit me.
