texts from last night's deeply regretted rum venture




DON'T PIRATE AND DRIVE

o1. Nothing settles the Crossing jitters like a bit of liquid courage — and with pirates, sharing is caring. Maybe you took it willing, under duress or subterfuge, or you completely underestimated the potency of what your esteemed sailor companions style the 'Mother's milk — but you are hereby sloshed. Inebriated. Tipsy. Under the weather. Toasting the gods.

o2. Top level with one or more of your character's most philosophical, amorous, or otherwise deeply wrong drunken thoughts or observation. Don't leave an empty comment, that makes the wine gods sad.

o3. Comment aroundkeep incriminating evidence.

o4. Feel free to make any of your threads game canon, just check with your partner too!

There's an art to lying. I believe it's more socially acceptable to be poor at it than good at it.

Probably true. You go next.

[ The hard part is coming up with truths he wants to admit to. ]


1. My ancestral home is a volcano.
2. The worst thing I've ever drunk is a drink called 'Blackout Kick'.
3. I chose my own name.

I absolutely believe the first and third are true.

You're correct, whatever these pirates serve is worse than Blackout Kick and previously I wasn't certain that was possible.
reparo: (s.p.e.w.)

My tongue felt numb drinking it - is that normal?

The strength of the drink,
perhaps? I don't drink enough to say.

It is your turn.

When in Rome, do as the Romans.

Anyway, alright.

1. I have been turned into stone.
2. My first boyfriend was an athlete.
3. I have a tattoo.

I have doubts about the tattoo.  

[ Unless its a practical one for magical purposes? ]
reparo: (n.e.w.t.)

[personal profile] reparo 2022-07-11 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You really get me.

[ He can't tell if he's being teased or not? Terrible. ]

I can picture you asking if it's sanitary to have one.  
reparo: (astronomy)

I've seen magical ones that move, actually. Wouldn't want my own.

Not even for practical purposes? I'm aware of some that enhance magic. 
reparo: (alchemy)

[personal profile] reparo 2022-07-11 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
There is one I know that was created with dark magic. I'd rather not.

[personal profile] blackscales 2022-07-11 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Assuming you had the option,
no dark magic involved. Just an arcane tattoo that would enhance your magic.

It would be the most outrageously rebellious thing I'll have done - getting a tattoo.
