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.

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.

[bit_awkward]

Then I shall avoid. I don't really wanna do anything like that, that'd be negative.

Course at almost sixty I suppose it wouldn't hurt to be slightly more open to varied experiences.
Just not crack, and probably not cocaine.

[shabby_magic]

You'll never be able to fully close it again. Just as a warning.

[bit_awkward]

I dunno. Maybe it would be okay to be more open.

[shabby_magic]

I've found it enlightening and terrifying to see the world like that.

[bit_awkward]

Yeah? Because of the nature of the eye opening or just the trip in general?

[shabby_magic]

The journey is influenced by the traveler.

[bit_awkward]

Very deep indeed. I guess I am gonna have to find out.

[shabby_magic]

Luckily for you I've got good stuff. You'll have a good time.

[bit_awkward]

Which is why I'm just gonna go with it. Feeding me tainted laffy taffy is what lead me to experience the best sex I ever had so I mean. Mushrooms have to be similar, right?

[shabby_magic]

Sorry, what? How? With who?

[bit_awkward]

Well no offense but who isn't really any of your business, and you haven't put nearly enough liquor in me to tell you all the details. [A tap of his glass and a very red faced laugh cause it is apparently enough to have loosened his lips. Just not all the way.]
