avante en garde - SATURDAY NOON PST

[idolpro]

[ The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

I never understood why one would try to acquire it. But I know that perhaps I am in the minority. Were I to partake in a drink, I would prefer that it be sweet.

Ah, well. It can indeed be a fine taste, when brewed well. My favorite sake is delicate in flavor—almost floral. Thanks to BARiTONES, it is possible to get particularly fine varieties, in this place.

But even when the flavor is... ha, "lacking," shall we say... there is a kind of special camaraderie to it, I would say.

In life, sometimes one needs a bitter thing in order to appreciate sweetness. And, though liquor is certainly treacherous to the unwitting, I will not say I have not appreciated its gift for loosening tongues and easing minds, at least for a little while.

You mean for such sport as Never Have I ever or Truth or Dare?

Re: ORDER 1 DISCUSSION

I think I recall hearing of such games played in this place?
I've yet to be invited to one, though.

Clearly they all tremble before my liquor-related might.

I am a little nervous and curious how you might hold up to someone like Venti-san.

Re: ORDER 1 DISCUSSION

[worthathousand]

Venti?
I think I've not met him yet. Previously, Shrike—your senior, on avante—was my steepest competition.

.....Which is to say, I think that woman could drink anyone she chose under a table.

Much of a drinker are you Lady Amaranth? Haha. Truly, a great warrior you are, but I very much doubt you could hold your liqour all that well with such a slight frame.

[She's certainly not small compared to most, but he's been drinking and she's definitely smaller than he is. But then, who isn't?]

Re: ORDER 1 DISCUSSION

[worthathousand]

What? Are you doubting the warrior worth a thousand?
It's obviously right in the name—and none drinks so well as a soldier.

[ this is possibly bullshit but far be it from her to back down from even a vaguely implied challenge. ]

Re: ORDER 1 DISCUSSION

[daios]

I may have to see it before I believe it.

[If she's rising to the challenge, then he'll throw down the gauntlet.]

[ ACTIVATED ]

Is that a challenge, young man?

Re: ORDER 1 DISCUSSION

[daios]

Mmmhh, only if you think you're up to it.

[He can't help but wag his tail a little.]
