Drunk Story Telling

DRUNK STORY TELLING MEME



So, everybody has a story. And what better way to get a story going than when you're rip-roaring drunk? Well, congratulations, now you have an audience circling around you. Hope it's a good one... and that the inebriation doesn't get to you first.

How To Play
1) Post your character up. Specify whether you are the storyteller or a listener. Optional: provide a small list of tantalizing tales the character may want to talk about.
2) Reply to other people at the beginning, middle, or end of the story.
3) Go to random.org and roll from 1-11 to pick a scenario. Or do your own thing!
4) Let the magic begin!!


Scenarios

1 -- The Epic -- Not only is this story good, it is LEG...wait for it...ENDARY. Hope the build-up is worth it, because the audience looks pretty enthralled ... or ready to kill.

2 -- The Soap -- So this is the story how Alejandro met Jackalyn while you were trying to hook up with him, meanwhile Evan, Jackalyns' boyfriend got into a skiing accident when suddenly... From Jerry Springer to Days of Our Lives, your life would make for excellent TV.

3 -- The Drama -- Not only is this story sad, it's dramatic. With enough booze any outpouring of emotions is going to be that much more personal. So go ahead, bleed your heart out.

4 -- The Raging -- You mad? You got something you want to get off your chest? DID THAT KITTY JUST POOP IN YOUR SHOE. Now is your time to vent.

5 -- The Incomprehensible -- Uh-oh. Looks like you've had one too many. Maybe the story makes sense to you, because everybody else is hearing inane babble.

6 -- The Casanova -- Love is conquest. Love is war. Though some might not kiss and tell, that adage does NOT apply to you.

7 -- The Contradiction -- The worst part about telling a story? Telling the story in the presence of somebody that was there that didn't see things exactly the same way as you.

8 -- The Comedian -- Sight gags, puns, jokes, props, or zany behavior. You better hope the laughter is coming from the audience and not from you.

9 -- The Hecklers -- Nothing worse than a bad story, right? WELL IT'S HIGH TIME YOU TELL THEM, HUH.

10 -- The Filibuster -- Oh crap, the person isn't stopping. The bar's going to close soon. Did you have a tale you wanted to talk about? Better figure out something quick!

11 -- The Open Mic -- Go wild! Have some fun! Get a few laughs! Or roll again if you want.

Dolan King (Thorin Oakenshield Modernized) | The Hobbit AU

[once_and_future_king]

((OOC: Dolan is more of a listener than a storyteller. He's much too gruff.)

Thorin Oakenshield | The Hobbit | OTA

[sonof_thrain]

[Thorin is more of a storyteller because he has lots to talk about.]

Re: 1, Hope this is ok.

[unexpected_adventures]

Ah, Thorin. [Where has your beard gone? Um...]

I know of epic adventures since I am currently living in one.

[once_and_future_king]

I'm sorry?

[Dolan doesn't think he's had enough scotch to start seeing strangely dressed little people... Or to look inviting enough for someone to just come up and talk to.]

[unexpected_adventures]

I, oh. [He looked at the man in front of him and realised he might have made a huge mistake.]

You....look like someone I know. Forgive me. I thought- [He coughed, which came out like a tiny squeak.]

Kit Baxter-Fenwick/The Flying Squirrel | The Red Panda Adventures

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

[A storyteller, decidedly. What kind of stories depends on whether she's hanging out with fellow superheroes and talking about epic conflicts and hilariously defeating villains, or she's in her secret identity and discussing moxie-having reporter shenanigans, or possibly the husband and kid.]

[once_and_future_king]

[Great, he's been recognized. Of course he has. Not all that long ago, his family's faces were posted all over the news and in the paper. Lovely. Well time to be rude.]

Do I look like I belong as a side show?

[Bad day. A very long string of bad days.]

[unexpected_adventures]

No...of course not. I apologize for.....for being rude. If I was. [He coughed.]

I just have a friend that looks like you. [Did Thorin have an unknown brother he didn't know about?]

You look a bit down so....I wondered if you wanted a story. Or....something. [He was speaking quietly now.]

Melissa Mao | Full Metal Panic! | OTA

[awolbride]

[Both a storyteller and a listener. Also good at being amazingly drunk.]

[once_and_future_king]

Down?

[Sorry Bilbo. At least he felt better about being recognized? Oh God, was this guy going to ask for a boost up onto the seat?]

Are you panhandling?

Holo | Spice and Wolf | OTA

[nomnomapples]

[She'll interject a lot as a listener but she can come up with some wild ones as a teller.]

[unexpected_adventures]

I'm sorry? Pan-what? [Have a line face then the look of what on earth. Sorry, Bilbo has no idea what that word means, Thorin.]

Pan-whats it?

[once_and_future_king]

Trying to get me to pay you for being a general nusance.

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo frowned.]

Excuse me but....I am not a nuisance. That is something a Baggins is not. [He cleared his throat.]

When Thorin is down like you....he usually has a drink of mead. Which....I can see you've have plenty of so- [He huffed out his chest a little]

-would you like a story to take your mind off things?

[once_and_future_king]

Listen mate, I've no idea who this 'Thorin' is.

[Someone half his size and with far more hair!]

And if you're looking for mead, you might want to try one of the specialty brew pubs in classier sections of the city than this one.

[unexpected_adventures]

[Mate? Well, that was new.]

Forgive me but....you do bare a striking resemblance to him apart from you are....bigger. A lot bigger.

No, I don't want any mead. I'm fine. I just thought.....you looked like you could do with some company. [Oh, that came out well, didn't it, Bilbo?]

[once_and_future_king]

[Aaaaand now he's being propositioned. It takes all kinds to make the world go round but does it look like he's interested in male little people? Did someone set him up? How ridiculous! Dolan snorts, low, dangerous, and likely fairly familiarly.]

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo knew that snort. Like the one he got when Thorin asked if he preferred axe or sword and Bilbo told him about the conkers. How familiar....

But right now....he was blushing.]

I did not mean....like that. I meant in a friendly way. We hobbits are friendly creatures.

6 work?

[space_cased]

"You are something else, lady."

So much for a quiet night at the bar, huh? In the few hours that he'd been there, Spike had already been forced to "deal" with two guys that had gotten a little hands on towards Mao, not that she was making it any better with her various stories about past relations.

And why did he even care? He didn't even know the girl. But it was like sitting in the car with someone and watching them drive straight towards a wall. You just can't help but take the wheel.

At this point, he'd officially just pulled up a chair next to her and put himself at the mercy of her storytelling, babysitting both the girl and a rum & coke as he shook off the haze of alcohol that threatened to grip him.

"Keep this up and you're gonna give a guy the wrong idea. ...Again."
