[ claps! ]

Now there's your perfect ten.

[psynchronise]

[ he'll even fake bow. ]

Thanks, I'm here all week. Presumably.

[ ball pit navigated, he'll just hop up onto a bar stool instead. ]

[teufelshund]

If we're lucky!

[ takes the seat beside him! ]

Now, there's supposed to be this new thing on the menu here... [ looks... ] Ah, here we go. Looks kind of boring, but it has a cherry in it, so it can't be all bad, right?

[ as much he's TEMPTED TO ORDER THE NUMBER NINE AGAIN............ ]

Anyway, I'm curious to see what it is they decided to so sneakily add while no one was looking.

[psynchronise]

Hate that it's all down to luck, personally.

[ oh. hm. ]

They've never updated the bar drinks before, right? [ he's leaning to squint at the menu. ] "Nice Having Ya"?

[ if he orders a number nine then he has to deal with all the consequences. ] "Fizzy and slightly sweet, with a bitter aftertaste."

... That's either going to be the most dangerous drink, or it's going to do something nice for everyone involved. No middle ground, I'm calling it.

[teufelshund]

Not that I'm aware of!

[ look, maybe we can just agree to temporarily sacrifice our dignity for some short-lived pleasures like curry drinks once in a while and never tell anyone. ]

The name almost makes it sound like it could be a cannibalism thing, but I don't think that's really their style.

[psynchronise]

[ his secret, brief reunions with his spicy ramen drink. maybe that's the true drama behind the love potion -- in order to keep his dignity, he can only be with it in secret....

coming soon to a theatre near you. ]

...

Y'know, I hadn't gone down that line of thought but now I'm finding it really hard not to. [ timing, mephisto. the drinks are probably already "ordered". ] Maybe they had some really specific murder coercion ideas this week.

[ if it's vore i am genuinely going to lose it. ]

[teufelshund]

[ lmao. ]

Well, the death schedule seems pretty strict, so if they've had it available since yesterday, I don't think we need to worry too much.

[ oh and look, here they are.

takes a glass and raises it! ]

Cheers!

[psynchronise]

If someone is eaten on Thursday night, I'm reminding you of this.

[ oh look. here they are.


he'll raise his glass and clink it. ]

Cheers. [ .......... he absolutely wrinkles his nose at the bitter aftertaste though. ]

[teufelshund]

That's fair.

[ clink!

...and yeah, same. ]

...Probably won't be winning any taste awards.

[psynchronise]

Fine up until that very last bit.

[ he takes another sip and frowns. and then does the nose wrinkle again, like he thought something different would happen. ]

You'd think they'd make all of them good, to get us falling for all the hidden side effects. Like whatever they did with Number 9.

[teufelshund]

Honestly. Wasn't there one last week that was just dirt-flavored?

[ your dirts ]

I can't imagine why they're making these poor to mediocre cocktails when we've tasted what they're capable of... Unless different demons are coming up with different recipes, I suppose. Maybe some of them are just terrible at it.

[psynchronise]

That was what it smelled like in the bar, yeah.

[ MY DIRTS ]

-- Do demons have a different sense of taste then? [ just looking straight at mephisto. pointedly. he remembers the gehenna talk. ]

[teufelshund]

[ smiles! ]

Depends on the demon, probably.

[psynchronise]

I'm ignoring you because I've seen your tastes already. [ metaphorical ignoring, at least. ]

But you don't know any demons who would go "y'know what would really win the crowd? Dirt drinks"? At all?

[teufelshund]

...Well. Astaroth, probably, and most of his kin.

[psynchronise]

…

Huh. You did actually know someone.

[ he was kinda fishing and not expecting much. ]

Maybe messaging Satan and telling him to step up the drinking game’s the way to go. [ less… bitterness and dirt. ]

… Anything weird happening? No sudden limb growth? Rushes of adrenaline?

[teufelshund]

He's the King of Rot, so it's kind of his thing. Or it would be, if he had a body.

[ but he doesn't! sucker.

hmm.... ]

...Nothing noticeable so far, anyway. Same for you?

[psynchronise]

…. Maybe that’s a good thing. I’m not sure I’d want the King of Rot behind a bar serving drinks.

[ a rotten mary? no thank you. ]

Same. But there are a few that take a while to kick in, or make you do something notable. I don’t trust them to have left one single drink other than beer alone this week.

[ … if he really thinks about it, maybe there’s something off? but he can’t pinpoint it exactly. ]

[teufelshund]

[ definitely a good thing, he's part of the shitty half of the family. ]

Oh, absolutely not. Maybe it's one of those effects that only kicks in in specific situations?

[psynchronise]

[ if that’s the shitty half of the family…. ]

Like… in crowds or somewhere where you can embarrass yourself more thoroughly? I could see that.

[teufelshund]

[ oh please finish that thought ]

That, or how that persuasion drink wouldn't actually do anything if you weren't talking to anyone.

Or I suppose it could be something like one of those missing memories that you don't even realize you're missing until it comes up.

[psynchronise]

[ :hei: ]

I’d probably know if it was missing memories. [ how would he know? ] Literally speaking. I think I like the ones that change something obvious, immediately, rather than—

[ he just gestures at himself. something is happening, he knows it in his bones. ]

Suspense.

[


speaking of! date sits up slightly. blinks a couple of times like some kind of startled deer in headlights.

and then leans over and bites mephisto’s shoulder. 👍]

[teufelshund]

[ ...mephisto also blinks. he likes biting just fine, and thank you for being nice and picking a spot with minimal injuries, but ? ]

...Oh, is this what that was about?

[ when rynlan just BIT HIM IN FRONT OF EVERYONE EARLIER...





hm. yeah, that seems like the thing to do, actually.

bites date's ear. sorry about his fangs. ]

[psynchronise]

[ he’s a nice guy, what can he say.



also ow? his ear? ]

Ow.

…


So, what was that you were saying about cannibalism?

[teufelshund]

Hm, maybe it wasn't all that far off after all.

...Well, for what it's worth, I promise not to pull a Lee Junhyeong on you.

[ ALSO SORRY FOR MAKING YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS COULD BE A POSSIBILITY ]

I'm much more of a gentleman than that.
