BARTENDER - LILY

WHO: LILY + CUSTOMERS
WHERE: LILY BARN
WHEN: BARTENDER GAME

[ Your barn has a new???? (temporary???) addition! One of the outside walls now has a cabinet of various drinks, all of which sits behind what appears to be an L-shaped bar counter, complete with a sink, ice box, and glass cabinet on the inner side, and stools for customers(?) on the outer side.

Posted on the wall is a recipe book, and above it, a big chalkboard listing the various drinks from said recipe book.

Tied to the drinks cabinet are a number of ribbons in your barn's color. Wonder what those are for. ]

The guy that's going around asking people if they want to die wants to know why I'm worried he cut up his hands in a suspicious ritual one time...

[god]

I am not asking that question as a leadup to sacrifice, and that ritual did me little enough harm.

I don't exactly have the full context for it so I couldn't help but be a little concerned.

I must avoid giving full context, but the implications of that ritual can and will only affect me. It was over and done with long before I came here.

[he doesn't press the context; the worry eases out of the lines of his body like a leaky faucet, drip by drip by drip. the cacophony of memories from Aides and Styx and Perci and Charon settles, each piece getting tucked away to be ruminated upon at a later time. it doesn't need to happen right now as long as everyone is healthy and whole.]

...Okay. As long as it's not causing any problems. Just don't do it again.

[shakes his head at him]

You are sounding entirely too much like my mother for comfort.

[cringes at the thought]

If I was your mother you'd be hearing a lot more about everything else I just saw. Consider yourself lucky.

[tiredly...]

I don't suppose I could ask you to simply forget it.

I can pretend to forget it, but I won't.

. . .

I can pre-

I can p-

You know what, lying isn't working, so I have to stick with my first answer.

[hhh.]

I suppose that is fair enough; I will not be forgetting anything shared here, either.

[makes a face like he wishes he would forget. but that's fair.]

I guess it's one way to get to know each other whether we want to or not.

[yuck.

...

looks at the recipe book. looks at their enormous stack of unused drinks]

Should we make it worth it?

[huffs a small laugh]

Sure, why not? I can make a few drinks from home with what we've got.

That is one option, though I was more considering the merits of creating three hundred black coffees and simply overwhelming the competition.

Oh.

We could do that. We'd need more coffee. Do you have more truths to rattle off?

Let's do it in smaller doses.

Let's see -- you pick a topic, I'll give you five truths; I pick a topic you give me five. And so on and so forth, until we tire of the exercise or we have accomplished our goal and never wish to look at coffee again. Does that sound fair?

I'm in! We've kind of talked about a lot already...hmm. It's a little broad, but how about "five things from your world that you don't see here"? Things you think are unique to your world that no one else would be familiar with.

Runes appear to be strange and novel to other people, I take advantage of that, in some ways.

I am always met with surprise when I mention the beast races I am familiar with, as they are far less human-looking than, say, Perci, or Blood Fiend. I am not sure why they come off as somehow stranger.

I would be very surprised if anyone or anything in this pasture knew the value or flavor of a good, aged Toran red.

Dragon horses. Dragons seem common among worlds, but not those.

I fancy my family's library is unique amongst all worlds.

Tell me of five interesting beasts you've encountered, and how you feel about them.

If it's only five it'll be easy.

Peace is a Horned Flame Lion, a tier two monster of the unicorn subspecies. Just listing out his attributes wouldn't be that interesting to you, but he's really smart! He knows how to use a cell phone, he understands everything I say to him, and when he was a person he could even speak! I love him.

Chirpie is a round white bird who can't fly. She can teleport through time and space, I think. She's a glutton and I love her.

Velare is a jeweled snake. Somehow it ended up becoming good friends with Chirpie and they go everywhere together. Although it doesn't sound like much, jeweled snakes are interesting because they can transform into weapons. I love it.

Irin is a fire spirit; I don't know if he counts as a beast, exactly, but he's one of a kind! He's cute and usually well-behaved, and looks out for Yoohyun. I love him.

The black dragon is one of the oldest beings in existence. At least from his source. He was a pain to deal with and wayyyyy too big, but I like him.

Name five people you're friends with, here or back home.

[hey lethe fuck you. pauses...]

I do not count anyone here or at home a friend, though I will not deny some extremely complex relationships exist in my life, or are now developing.

Try something else.

...Let me think of something else.

If I put "make friends" on the chore wheel will you do it?

No.

[flatly]

Friendship will come in its own time, if it will; I've no interest in forcing it, or in letting others force me into it. Be reasonable.

I was just checking! Name five places you either like to visit or would like to visit.

My family home. I hold genuine attachment to it.

Hermitage Island, in the distant Island Nations, as well; as far as I know it has little to recommend it as a tourist spot. But an estranged relative lived there for some not insignificant time, about a century and a half ago, and there is a small monument to her life there. If anything of her knowledge remains intact, I would like to claim it, and bring it back into the fold.

I do not think I would be averse to visiting your world; it sounds fascinatingly different from my own, rather than unbearably so.

The region of Harmonia around Crystal Valley is a center of learning and culture, and of the arts as well as religion; there are few places more stimulating to visit, or indeed to receive an education in, if one is sufficiently priveleged and motivated to do so. It will be some time before I see it again, but I do not think I will be barred from it permanently.

The hanging gardens, in the warm climes of Armes. I have never seen them; they are reportedly spectacular.

...name five things you would change about your current situation. In your home world, not here.

[bristles and shoots him a look of profound annoyance]

This is because I asked if you have friends, isn't it.

[the answers come slower, the words chosen with a bit more care as he pulls them from his mind.]

Your question is a little too broad, so I'm going to answer broadly.

I would change the wedding date. I'm not going to make it back on time, now, and it's stupid to have a wedding on New Year's anyways.

I would bring my brother home.

I would change my life expectancy.

I would change the System.

I would change the Source.

Name five regrets.
