over a drink

The OVER A DRINK Meme

1. Post with your character.

2. You're at a bar. What kind of bar? Any kind you want. From fantasy taverns where various species mingle to futuristic space bars where half the drinks will probably kill you, or even an overly kitsch themed place where everything is overpriced, it's all good as long as there are drinks and company.

3. Respond to other characters. Perhaps you want to buy them a drink. Or perhaps you're inclined to be bought a drink. Maybe you saw someone you knew, or maybe you just want someone to talk to. Could be there's nowhere else to sit, and could be you want to drag them out to dance.

4. Get drunk. Or don't! Be the guest, or the bartender, or the newcomer, or even the janitor. Mingle, make friends, or lurk in a corner.

5. They say alcohol lowers one's inhibitions. Might just be time to find out how much.

Don't worry. I don't exorcise and tell.

[bit_awkward]

Well that's good cause the most I deal with demons are children and that's enough for me.

I have to say that's one of the more interesting careers I've heard though.

[shabby_magic]

It's not really a career. Most people who try die doing it.

Could say the same for rock and roll though.

[bit_awkward]

Well I mean technically I think a career is more a job you do life long so if you die doing it, it still counts.

You very well could.

Course something tells me you're not all that killable either career.

[shabby_magic]

Oh, no, I've died a handful of times and come back.

[bit_awkward]

That kinda proves my point though; You haven't actually been killed, despite dying.

[shabby_magic]

Seems like you're splitting hairs there, mate. But if that's how you see it, I'm not going to argue.

[bit_awkward]

I've been known to do that. But seriously if you just keep coming back then its true they can't get rid of you. Once is an accident, or really good medicine, a handful is certainly something more than that.

[shabby_magic]

It'll stick eventually and then the hoards of Hell will enjoy ripping my soul apart for centuries. Cheers.

[bit_awkward]

Well I'll see you there, I'm sure. [A raise of his glass before swallowing it down.] At least I'll know someone.

[shabby_magic]

You think you're going to hell? [ He's skeptical. ]

tw; suicide mention

[bit_awkward]

According to most religions the taking of your own life is a qualifier to eternal damnation so, if that's to be believed I have a spot for certain.

[shabby_magic]

If you're Christian, sure. Some Abrahamic religions don't even have hell. And sometimes you can even be forgiven for such an act.

[ He makes a so-so gesture with his hand. ]

Fifty-fifty you're damned.

[bit_awkward]

Catholic, technically.
Yeah? Last I heard it was pretty cut and dry. I suppose you'd be more an expert than I would.

I like those odds. 50/50 has always worked for me.

[shabby_magic]

Oh, Catholic? No, you're fucked, mate.

That's a mortal sin. No coming back from that. Might as well indulge as much as you want now.

[bit_awkward]

And here I thought I could be redeemed. The good news is I haven't practiced in ages and was never much of a believer. Although it seems I ought to change my mind on that one.

A shame I'm as white bread as it gets huh?

[shabby_magic]

Do you want to try the wild side of life? I can get you there, mate. No trouble at all.

[bit_awkward]

I guess it kind of depends on what you mean by 'wild'?

[shabby_magic]

I could take you to some pretty dark places but knowing you? Underground punk show might be as wild as I can convince you to get.

[bit_awkward]

That sounds more up my alley. That and maybe a little premarital.

[shabby_magic]

Should I even bother to suggest hard drugs? A little cocaine?

[bit_awkward]

I have never tried cocaine before. Doesn't it make you paranoid?
I have only ever smoked weed, which is very much not hard.

[shabby_magic]

Depends on how pure it is. Crack is the one you really have to look out for. That's... well, it's powerful.

Could try mushrooms. Open that third eye. [ pokes him in the center of his forehead. ]

[bit_awkward]

Yeah no I don't think crack is for me.

But I would probably try mushrooms. I had a mate that used to do like teas and such with them?
And it is supposed to be ‘eye opening’ as it were.

[shabby_magic]

It's not an experience I recommend.

Alright, let's get you some mushrooms.
