OPEN MINGLE: September 25-30

[imsorey]

[Although the month is drawing to a close, there's still plenty to do--such as clearing out the last few rabites, working on constructing portions of the new and improved base, sharing various information gleaned from the month's efforts, and make sure to have some downtime in between all of that. Getting a sun tan before fall fully sets in is important too!]

[ rose rolls her eyes, but the giggle that escapes makes that pretty ineffective. ]

You are such a sap, Sorey. Alright, then. To friendship, adventure, and boring ass ruins.

[ and she is not wasting the least bit of time downing it in one gulp. ]

[imsorey]

The ruins were at least a little fun, it's okay to admit that much.

[He is smart enough to know not to try and chug alcohol, so he sips at his instead of downing it like Rose. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.]

[sparrowfeather]

Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, you big nerd.

[ she knows he's used to her teasing by now. while sorey takes his sweet time, rose is already pouring herself more. ]

-- It's easier to just down it all at once. More effective that way.

[ she leans over, closer to sorey, just to give his shoulder an encouraging pat. go for it!!!! ]

[imsorey]

[He doesn't mind the teasing, but that doesn't mean he's going to walk blindly into a trap

well, he would, but he still has enough common sense to know that downing a glass of alcohol sounds like a bad idea.]

It seems a little safer to pace myself though.

[sparrowfeather]

[ IT'S NOT A TRAP..... it's just rose's method of doing things, okay. ]

Fine, then. Go ahead and be boring. More for me!

[ more for her indeed!!!! ]

[imsorey]

Just don't drink too much too quickly! It'll be boring if you fall asleep on us.

[Not that he thinks that'll happen, but if she drinks all of it then he's not sure it counts as drinking with her.]

[sparrowfeather]

Oh, please, I won't fall asleep. The only person who can outdrink me is Zaveid, and he doesn't count since he's a bajillion years old.

[imsorey]

He has had a few thousand years to build up his tolerance. I think he has a bit of an advantage there.

[sparrowfeather]

I guess no matter how long you live, you never get bored of the wonders of alcohol.

[imsorey]

I'd say it depends on the person; not all of the seraphim seem to have a taste for it. But I bet if we asked Zaveid he'd be willing to give us enough information to make an educated hypothesis.

[Sorey are you really going to turn this into a nerd discussion

the answer is yes]

[sparrowfeather]

Sorey.

Sorey.

[ a pause. ]

... No. No educated hypotheses allowed.

[imsorey]

I don't want to make an uneducated one though!

[he's missing the point, maybe]

[sparrowfeather]

That's not what I meant! No hypotheses, period! Sorey, I swear...

[ why does she put up with him? okay, she knows why, so a better question would be why does she like him so much. ]

If you want to talk about hypotheses, Mikleo is right there. Go for it. Go wild.

[imsorey]

Oh, good point! He's a perfect base sample. It's not like we can ask Zaveid right now anyways.

[Insert Sorey Trying and Failing to get Mikleo to be their test subject here. It doesn't take too long for him to get turned down, and within minutes he's back and nudging Rose, his previous task already forgotten.]

Rose, he's got a book, get it from him while I distract him.

[sparrowfeather]

What? Why me? Have Alisha do it!

[ alisha here is starting to get a little buzzed. that might not be such a good idea after all. ]

... Okay, and how are you planning on distracting him, exactly? Why am I even agreeing to this?

[imsorey]

If we both go for it at the same time he can only stop one of us.

[this is clearly a flawless plan]

[sparrowfeather]

You didn't answer my question!

[imsorey]

You're agreeing to help because we're friends!

[sparrowfeather]

Friends don't nag their friends when they're just trying to enjoy a drink.

[ siiiiiiiiiigh. ]

... Don't blame me if he doesn't believe that I've taken up a sudden interest in reading when I try to snatch it, got it?

[imsorey]

[!!!]

--You're the best!

[Sorey has apparently forgotten about the distraction because he just tries to grab the book from Mikleo at the same time Rose does, oops]

[sparrowfeather]

[ IT GOES SO WRONG THEY BUMP HEADS ]

What the hell, Sorey?!

[imsorey]

[how could he have failed this one simple task!!!!]

Owwwww...that could have gone better, sorry Rose.

[sparrowfeather]

-- Look. You managed to get the book.

[ she's rubbing her head, but... uh, mission accomplished, i guess? ]

[imsorey]

You're right! Let's see what it is.

[Scooting back over next to Rose to share their spoils, because she obviously cares.]

A vampAIr novel, huh? This is one of the romance novels we found on the ship.

[sparrowfeather]

...

[ in the most deadpan voice possible-- ]

Well. You. You have fun with that. I'll just be over here keeping our favorite lightweight princess knight company.
