LiliS - SUNDAY

[ 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. . . ? ]

RECIPE BOOK

[ ...Patting you on the shoulder in an attempt at being comforting, but like, ]

Do you know how we serve them alcoholic drinks? By drinking the alcohol ourselves.

[ Beeeeaaaaat. Flashback: Aster two drinks in on the BiT risk/reward live. ]

Not that you have to? If you wanted to just sit that part out, that'd be fine.

... Lupine, I don't think drinking the drinks yourself counts as serving them.

[ Lips quirked. Helpfully holds up the recipe book with the 'cocktails' page showing, then drags his index finger under Alcohol must be imbibed in order to complete recipes that have alcohol in them. ]

I'd say 'trust me', but you don't have to.

[ Lupine plz he just got here and hasn't even touched the recipe book yet. ]

Jeez, okay.

[ Yeah, that's honestly very fair. His smile slips a notch and he pushes a hand through his hair. ]

Sorry, sorry. I know you all just got here, and it's a really weird game. Eichi and I definitely took a while to settle into it earlier. All the cabinets are locked except the one with the booze in it, and we need to jump through hoops to unlock things — like sharing memories with each other, or sharing feelings.

[ Beat. ]

I guess we're both pretty competitive, we went kinda hard yesterday — did a full-on empathy bond the whole time, shared a bunch of memories... That's how you get the 'tea' and 'fruit' ingredients. [ Heh. ] It definitely wasn't totally necessary, and we've got four people today, so no one has to share at all if they don't wanna.

Mm, let's see what everyone's comfortable with?

If it's things like sharing memories and feelings, you and Eichi are probably more comfortable with each other, so you were able to get through things faster. But I still feel new sometimes, and I'm sure our newest feels that even moreso, so let's just feel out the pace we go at?

[ Heaving himself up on the counter, and he kicks one foot thoughtfully. ]

Heh, you're not wrong. Already went through a game with him where seeing his memories was part of the deal, so when I gave it a shot earlier and got a new memory — there was definitely a little part of me that just went, 'Cool, free memories.'

[ Giving Aster a very lopsided smile at the end of this sentence to indicate he knows! He knows what a wild reaction that was to have. ]

But we've got options. We can just talk through our feelings instead of sharing them literally.

[ Plucks a nice long ribbon out from under the counter and lets it dangle from two fingers. ]

No one actually needs to tie these around their wrists.

[ Patting Lupine's knee with a chuckle, friendly. ]

Let's figure out what drinks to make, see what everyone's willing to volunteer, and then we can work out filling the gaps from there?

[ He did put his knee in reach, so he supposes he shouldn't be surprised by that. Lipquirk. ]

Yeah, okay. Sorry for trying to get an assembly line going, though. Definitely didn't mean to push.

Hey, I definitely get efficiency, you've seen my work schedule. And I know you didn't, so thanks for hearing me out too.

Since you've already got a feel for things, you can help keep us on track.

[ Extends his leg to just sort of bump Aster's side, not without affection. ]

I'll do my best. We'll make a list of the ingredients we need, then get the cabinets open.
