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!

Like what, everything passes? Mind over body? People with power are searing terrible?

[traaaaaash]

well one time i thought my kids and myself an important lesson about how we all have our own struggles

and then i bodyswapped everyone else so we could get away in from the cops

[bravelyrunsaway]

Wouldn't bodyswapping before the crime make it easier to escape?

[traaaaaash]

oh no i've been wanted for ages

the cops are always on my case

[bravelyrunsaway]

I take it these cops are enforcers of law?

[traaaaaash]

yes

that's what cops are

though technically they're called coven guards

[bravelyrunsaway]

Covens being what?

[traaaaaash]

uhhh

you know

covens

sorta like... clubs i guess

witches gotta choose one after school and from then on that's the only kind of magic they're allowed to do

except i didn't

which is why the guards are after me

[bravelyrunsaway]

Fascinating, you're a magic rule breaker, that's terrifying on several levels, but also understandable on several other ones?

[traaaaaash]

i just don't get why i or anyone should only be able to do potions, or illusions, or construction magic or whatever and have all the rest of it sealed away

it doesn't make sense!!! really the only reason i could ever think of was that belos wants to control us

and recently it looks more and more like i was right

which sucks actually cause whatever he's got planned on the day of unity, it's not good

[bravelyrunsaway]

I see now what you mean, and don't particularly hate saying that you're right, love, anyone making life-paths that narrow has an eye toward control and their own benefits.

The rest sounds like a when you're back in the right world problem.

[traaaaaash]

yeah but this is exactly why i need to get back!!!

that and my kids

[bravelyrunsaway]

How many don't wish to return? Whatever the reasons that compel, I'd guess most feel similarly to you.

[traaaaaash]

yeah not saying i'm unique here, i know i'm not

i'm just

i don't know, getting stir-crazy
