Time For Some Drunk History/Canon Storytime/That Thing I Love

Everyone's got something they can just go on and on and on about, even when they're a little bit drunk. Or a lot bit drunk. In fact, honestly? Maybe they've even got a better handle on it when they're drunk. So honestly-- honestly?

Just. Sit there. And let them tell you about it.

how do.
- Post a top-level with character info, including what thing they can nerd on about. Is it a particular time in history? Is it how magic/science/an ice cream machine works? Is it their take on that one thing that happened in canon?
- Tag other folks with questions about their topic or a general gentle prompt to get them rambling.
- Roll to see how drunk you're getting and tell the people the thing you know while you're super coherent.

how drunk.
1] Still sober - Work on that.
2] A little tipsy - You might be getting a little ramble-y about the thing.
3] A few hard drinks in - Okay, so, sentences are hard and you don't know how to pronounce the one thing but you are damn sure this is how it went down.
4] Plastered - Listen, you'll answer that question in a second, but has the other person seen what the table looks like if you put your head down on it.

(would either start rambling about people that are alright with living within the walls, killing titans or with too many drinks swooning over Levi in public)

(Elisabeth - his favourite topic)

[His area of expertise is in Anthropology, so you get a detailed explaination of folklore and human cultures. He may get a little creepy about it.]

[Drinks are assumed to be placebo or we can age him up to drinking age. Let me know if you want to avoid any triggers or spoilers.]

[why he's drinking is unclear but lord let him tell you about that Napoleon guy, the June Rebellion of 1832, or the Société des droits de l'homme.]

[ SHEIKAH TECHNOLOGY, plants and flowers of Hyrule, hot-footed frogs, honestly any of her research which ranges from monster parts to valuable ore to her favorite flower, Silent Princess ]

[drunk econ? drunk econ.]

[there's some lore of Ten Towns you probably haven't heard a million times]

[ dragon age elvish history/culture, probably some general history of thedas. a little bit about magic and a lot about the inquisition itself and the political landscape of thedas. ]

[ four million years of total warfare and the heinous misadventures that followed. A spider and a cop have a kid. ]

[ota with f/f preference for shipping if that's at all relevant; for the sake of her less-science-minded writer, her topic of choice today is going to be either Harry Potter or kinky sex and its very scientific neurochemical benefits]

[ota; the language of flowers, let her teach you it]

[Of course it's Elven bourbon. Wine is too pedestrian.]

What, precisely, do the Dalish say of the fall of Arlathan?

[ Hearing any Dalish go on about their history was far from what Solas considered a good time. But there was something about listening to the Inquisitor attempt to tell stories once the Iron Bull had alcohol flowing in the halls of Skyhold.

So here Solas is, a mug in his hand and barely touched, watching Lavellan with interest. ]

Have you regaled us with your favorite legend about your chosen Creator? [ Because if he has to listen to history being butchered then he may as well attempt to hear a hilarious retelling of something Dirthamen supposedly did. ]

[lets talk about all the ways youre wrong about elves. again.]

[ota, f/f for shipping if it matters; she's here to talk about queer feminism, since she can't really go off about her more cosmic areas of expertise to strangers]

[ota, modern also available; she'll tell you horrible jokes or ramble about Valyrian poetry probably.]

( They say the Inquisition doesn't even have decent wine. Not that Lavellan knows the difference. )

Hmm? ( Right, fall of Arlathan. ) It's the shemlen's fault, of course. Tevinter.

Right. [Dry as sandpaper.] And why did Tevinter burn that place down?

( She is going to have to talk to Bull about the stuff he thinks is 'mild'. She already knew that whatever he drinks after fighting a dragon is liable to knock her on her ass in one sip, but this is way more subtle. Someone made the mistake of drinking half the mug before it hit her, and now everything is getting slightly fuzzy and she's more than slightly flushed. It takes her a moment to realize that Solas asked her a question, and she considers this for a bit. )

No. Do you want me to? ( Unusual, but she's not going to let this go. ) If you do, you're not allowed to-- to-- _{not to be unbear.. unbearably smug about it, no...} to correct me.

( A pause. )

Not until I've finished, anyway.

Well. ( Hang on, she knows this. ) Because they're shemlen. And that's what they do, isn't it? Take things over without a reason. Something about how we all went back to Arlathan and didn't talk to anyone and Tevinter just, you know.

( She gestures very emphatically to indicate taking over and enslaving the elves. While being careful not to spill any of this bourbon, of course. )

[ He subtly glances over the top of her mug to see how much of her drink is gone before focusing on her. At least if he was near, he could help her get somewhere more private if she needed to be sick or catch her if she suddenly lost her balance. Such was the life of the inner circle of the Inquisition, but she had earned her chance to relax and ramble. ]

Is that all? [ He pretends to consider that for a moment before nodding. ] I will be patient. Please, tell me.

[Okay, that's kind of endearing. His lip quirks.]

[Yeah, yeah, this is supposed to be about her telling him history, but when has he ever been able to resist infodumping on someone.] Did you know the elves, not the Tevene, invented blood magic?

[ depending on who you are, sonia is living history. ask her anything about the cetagandan occupation of barrayar. you'll probably get a skewed perspective, but she was actually there. ]

[ who else knows THIS MUCH about magical history and miscellanea, okay. ]

( Are you judging her state of inebriation, Solas? Is not the entire rest of Thedas enough for you? She frowns at the implicit judging and takes another sip of it while holding eye contact. Just in case. But his promise is enough to make her nod, a quick smile working its way over her face. )

So. Dirthe-- Dareth-- Dirthamen. ( Keeper Deshanna would have scolded her like she was the Second for how many tries that took. ) God of knowledge and secrets, right? But also loyalty. Because of his brother.

His brother-- _{how do you say that again--} Fallow Mire? No, that's not right.

( If she were more sober, she'd be concerned about how much Solas is enjoying her not getting her history and her Creators right. Right now she just wants the name to come to her. )
