[ 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.
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.
…. 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. ]
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. 👍]

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

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!
no subject
[ oh look. here they are.
he'll raise his glass and clink it. ]
Cheers. [ .......... he absolutely wrinkles his nose at the bitter aftertaste though. ]
no subject
[ clink!
...and yeah, same. ]
...Probably won't be winning any taste awards.
no subject
[ 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.

[ MY DIRTS ]
-- Do demons have a different sense of taste then? [ just looking straight at mephisto. pointedly. he remembers the gehenna talk. ]
no subject
Depends on the demon, probably.
no subject
But you don't know any demons who would go "y'know what would really win the crowd? Dirt drinks"? At all?
no subject
no subject
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?
no subject
[ but he doesn't! sucker.
hmm.... ]
...Nothing noticeable so far, anyway. Same for you?
no subject
[ a rotten mary? no thank you. ]

no subject
Oh, absolutely not. Maybe it's one of those effects that only kicks in in specific situations?
no subject
Like… in crowds or somewhere where you can embarrass yourself more thoroughly? I could see that.
no subject
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.
no subject

...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. ]
no subject
also ow? his ear? ]
Ow.
…
So, what was that you were saying about cannibalism?
no subject
...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.
no subject
[ … wow, he wasn’t thinking it but now he is. ]
Thanks. It’s really hot when a guy promises not to rip out my jugular.
no subject
You're welcome.
[ a lighter nip. ]
no subject
... [ the lighter nip does actually make him shiver. git. ]
-- That'd be such a mood killer, actually. [ lmao. ]
no subject
he definitely notices that shiver and grins. ]
Might kill a little more than the mood, even.
no subject
…
Haha. Obviously.
[ tearing out a jugular is pretty fatal. ] We need jugulars to live, who knew.
