Alec and John drink

[element_wizard]

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*pops in next to John looking like he's seen a ghost.*

camwyn cwru: John: *jerks slightly in his chair* Fucking hell, mate, what happened to you?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Jono got me a birthday present. Haahhaa... he brought Verra back... as a corpse... hah... that only I could see.

camwyn cwru: John: .......

camwyn cwru: John: There's not enough liquor in England, mate.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Hah... well, I'm gonna try! *shaky laugh*

camwyn cwru: John: Right, fair enough. Got a preference?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Lots?

camwyn cwru: John: *amused snort* Give us a tic and I'll set you up. *starts rooting among the bottles* I don't suppose you'll be wanting a glass for this.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: haaah. No. Gods... oh... yes... Mel says hi.

camwyn cwru: John: 'm not surprised. How's she doing, anyway?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: She kissed a girl finally. *nabs a bottle*

camwyn cwru: John: Huh. Did she? Wouldn't've thought her the type. Who's the lucky girl?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Old friend of hers. Apparently she was drunk at the time. *swigs*

camwyn cwru: John: Mm. That explains a bit.  I'll talk with her about it sometime. *pours for himself, 'cos he's not the one with the corpse*

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Personally, I think it's about time. I mean she's always been so skittish around guys. ... and girls. And those sort of things.

camwyn cwru: John: D'you see me arguing? I just figure she ought to have a few words with someone about it, if she wants to. And if not, then not.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Ahh... yes. Probably better you than me. She gets all weird with my views on sex and stuff.

camwyn cwru: John: *wry look* Never thought I'd see the day when I was the sane example.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: No, but my world's view on sex is alot different than yours.

camwyn cwru: John: All right, I'll bite. What've you got?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: *shrugs* No word for homosexuality for starters. Rather um... what'd Triv say, sort of old Greece way of looking at things.

camwyn cwru: John: Huh. All right, that's one way of doing it.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: usually.. .um when we're young we go around with older kids our same gender, but when we get older we'll try experimenting with the other sex, or not... really depends. There's just not the stigma attached to sex that there is in your world. It's not a bad thing or a nasty thing... it's just... there.

camwyn cwru: John: *takes another swig* Works well for you, does it?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Yeah. *swigs his own drink*  No real awakwardness.

camwyn cwru: John: Lucky bastards.

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*grins* You should meet my sister some time.

Kippurbirdy: opppppppppppppppppppppppppppl-0ipgftttttttttt <--- Kitty says hi.

camwyn cwru: John: Yeah? *eyebrows up* What's she like?

camwyn cwru: (Hi, kitty.)

Kippurbirdy: Alec: She's... um... the sort that'll cheerfully sing the most obnoxious, bawdy song you can think of while starting a barroom brawl, flirt with anyone who she thinks is cute... and at the same time is a damn good healer.

camwyn cwru: John: *looks very thoughtful*

Kippurbirdy: Alec: I think you two would get along. She has a favorite game. *drinks* It's a drinking game. Who ever loses has to be the winner's slave for a day. She rarely loses.

camwyn cwru: John: Hnh. Cheating allowed?

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*laughs* I think she cheats.

camwyn cwru: John: Well then.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: She's a water wizard, she can control liquids. *grins and drinks*

camwyn cwru: John: Oh, there's ways around that, there's ways around everything.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: I'm sure.*is smirking* If she likes you, she'll throw the game.

camwyn cwru: John: *just laughs*

Kippurbirdy: Alec: She has this outfit that she wears it's um.. very... um... not really there.

camwyn cwru: John: And this is your sister, you say?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Yes. Twin.

camwyn cwru: John: Hnh. What do I need to do to arrange an intro?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Talk to me? She's been looking for someone else to play against. Complaining that she can't find any one with any stanima. *swigs*

camwyn cwru: John: Ah, and here my liver was lookin' for a challenge,.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: She took on a water god once.

camwyn cwru: John: Then I'll need to warm up some, won't I?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Yes, you would. Mm... *drinks*

camwyn cwru: John: I can think of worse ways to spend a weekend or three.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: *he pulls out a picture from a pocket of a young woman who looks like him if he were a girl* That's her.

camwyn cwru: John: *thoughtful expression*

Kippurbirdy: Alec: *puts the picture on the table and finishes the bottle, starts on another* She inherited the fey's grace.

camwyn cwru: John: So I see. What did you say her name was?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Laruna.

camwyn cwru: John: 's a good name.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Tell her that. She'll give you a kiss.

camwyn cwru: Think I will, at that.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: mmm... just becareful, she usually come out on the top of these barroom brawls she starts.

camwyn cwru: John: Thanks for the warning. I'd as soon have all me teeth afterwards.

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*laughs and drinks* Yes, you have a very nice smile.

camwyn cwru: John: Used to be a lot worse, before they had to take me down and piece me back up. That's what the smoking'll do to your teeth.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: They redid everything, did they?

camwyn cwru: John: Yeah. Hurt like fucking hell, small surprise, but it did the trick.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Well they did a bang up good job at it. They should free lance.

camwyn cwru: John: Aaaah, it wouldn't be worth the price for anything less than what I had.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Mm... but people would pay it. I'm sure there are enough people out there who would. New body for your soul? Sure, why not. I bet half of Hollywood's already sold theirs.

camwyn cwru: John: Oh, I'm sure there's that, but what's the point in buying something so fucking common? Nah, they'd start asking different prices, and then it'd all go pear-shaped. I expect I'd be the one to have to clean it up, too.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Probably already doing it, actually. Hollywood's a mess.

camwyn cwru: John: *grunts, pours himself another glass*

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Gods... my life has been a total wreck lately. *drinks* they've started sending me Eragon fics.

camwyn cwru: John: *pauses, drink midway to lips* Eragon.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: You've heard of him?

camwyn cwru: John: Gemma mentioned the book. Christ, mate, you have my sympathies.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: He's a total twat. I swear... the world is a compelte and utter fracking mess... you can see the seams and it looks like it's about to collapse any minute.

camwyn cwru: John: *just shakes his head* Let me know when you've finished that bottle. I've got something around that should knock that rot out of your head for a bit.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Gods... our first one? Had Awen from Lord of the Bloody Rings in it. Some twit of a Sue author named their main character Arwen... and there she was.

camwyn cwru: John: *makes generally spitty noise*

Kippurbirdy: Alec: You okay? *worried*

camwyn cwru: John: Oh, I'm all right. The whole rot sounds like it calls for a stronger stomach than I've got, is all.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: *mournfully* They've upped my meds. *swigs and finishes off the bottle*  And Marc-C's actually starting to physically twitch.

camwyn cwru: John: Why'm I not surprisedc?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Bah... where's that other stuff you were talking about?

camwyn cwru: John: *produces bottle of piss-yellow stuff that smells of about forty-seven different herbs* 's called Strega. Italian. Makes a nice paint remover, Ic an tell you that now.

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*sniffs carefully* Lovely stuff. Sounds perfect. *swigs and chokes* ooohgods... wow.

camwyn cwru: John: I save it for when it's neeed.

camwyn cwru: needed.

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*takes a more careful drink* wooo... wow... *shakes his head* Wow... what were we talking about?

camwyn cwru: John: Nothing that needs repeating.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Good... good... oh.. I've got something for you. *another drink*

camwyn cwru: John: Yeah? Dare I ask?

Kippurbirdy: Alec: Is good stuff. Promise.

camwyn cwru: John: Hnh. All right, then.

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*pulls out a book* It's a spell book I found.. it's of questionable origin. Figured you might have a gas going through it.

camwyn cwru: John: Huh. (But his eyes are lighting up nonetheless.) Give 'er here, mate.

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*passes it over. It's bound in a dark purple leather*

camwyn cwru: John: *examines the outer surfaces carefully before doing anything else*

Kippurbirdy: Book:*there appear to be some runes writen in silver on the spine, in some garbled language. It radiates faintly of magic... but not of any sort*

camwyn cwru: John: Huh. *raps on cover with knuckles* Anybody in there?

Kippurbirdy: Book:*is silent*

camwyn cwru: John: *shrugs to himself, flips book open*

Kippurbirdy: Book:*is blank for a moment, and then spidery language starts to sprawl itself across the page*

camwyn cwru: John: *is instantly wary, though he glances up at Alec for a moment*

Kippurbirdy: Alec:*is watching curiously* Don't look at me. I can't read it.

camwyn cwru: John: 8watches the text unscroll, then closes the book* Gonna need to check that out in the morning, I think. Thanks, mate. This'll keep me tied up for a good month.

Kippurbirdy: Alec: It always starts at the beginning, no matter where in the book you open it up to.
