1st Flight ✈ action/voice

[action]

[Having woken up by his lonesome in the middle of the forest, Birdy has taken to the skies to try finding his missing comrades from above. When that proves fruitless, he touches down in the village proper in order to interrogate a resident.

That resident may very well be your character, and they will be greeted with a rather brusque:]

Oi, where the hell is this place?

***

[voice]

[Later, after having learned the basics of Luceti from someone, he'll fumble around with the journal.]

Is this thing on? Shout, Shirobon -- you guys out there? Bongo? Gangu? ...Professor?

[And while waiting for replies, he'll be flipping back through the more recent entries to see what else he can find out about his current predicament.]

[Warning bells are going off in Birdy's head, but when his pride is at stake, he can sometimes...pretend that they're not there. He picks the bottle up, inspecting it.]

I've never heard of this before.

It's unique~! [That's one way to describe it... Unique in the way that it's the most potent kind of alcohol Norma's ever heard of on any kind of world thus far, and nothing's topped the toxic, blue swill as of yet. And yes, she has asked people. Truly, the Romulan Blue is the king of all liquors.] Why don't you give it a try? I promise it's a lot more...flavorful than that other stuff you wanted.

[Birdy can't get over how blue the liquid looks. Surely this had to be a mixed drink of some sort? Or something that wasn't even alcohol? Shit, this looked like the drain cleaner at Ein's place.

But he can't figure out a way to get out of this with his image intact. He lacks Mighty's gifts of 1) somehow managing to say just the right thing at the right time without any apparent effort at all most of the time and 2) not caring whenever he ends up failing at the first. He is also mightily lacking a Mighty at the moment ~~for moral support~~ to tell him that this is not one of the best ideas he's ever had. Damn it.

So, fine then. If he's going to hell, he'll go there at top speed.

Just to be even more of a showoff, Birdy actually takes the initial glass of shochu that Norma poured and downs it in a few big gulps. He wipes his beak off with the back of his hand before pouring himself a helping of Romulan Blue. And then -- before he has another chance to back down from the challenge -- he downs that Romulan Blue too.]

[

JUMPING TAP-DANCING BANDITS IT'S LIKE HE SWALLOWED A MILLION LASER BEAMS

oh god oh god why did he go through with this at least he didn't place any bets on the outcome but oh god

suddenly a nuclear explosion of respiratory issues COUGH HACK WHEEZE CROAK don't mind Birdy doubled over with his eyes tearing up ok ok he's fine. really]

[Downing the first drink is a bit impressive, and Norma tilts her head with an arched brow and a faint smile - not bad, buddy - but when she chugs the second drink...well, that's when her faint smile turns into a huge and maniacal grin. She waits the few seconds it takes, then begins to crack up, waving her hand quickly to alert the attention of another waiter and get the poor fool a potent antidote or a glass of water. If there's one thing people in the bar know, it's drinks...and how to properly mix something to combat a few of the more volatile ones.

Though finding cure for Norma's hysterics will be a hell of a lot harder. She is hanging onto the table for support, laughing and snickering at holding a hand to her mouth to smother her laughter. A few of the other bar-goers are shaking their head and pointing at the bottle and then the poor victim, snickering behind their hands as well. Poor guy got baited big time.]

Oi! [Banging a fist on the table, his words punctuated by coughing fits.] Is this crap even booze at all?!

[He's had some pretty strong stuff in his day, but...]

[Norma's truly cackling at this point, but she at least hands the poot guy a damn good chaser - and a glass of water - to wash away the ache of the Romulan Blue. She'll even give up her hand cloth so he can wipe his face. It looks like he might cry...or that may still be the alcohol.]

You bet your beak it is! The most potent alcohol we've got in all of Luceti, actually. Probably the most potent alcohol in a number of different worlds, actually. [Seriously, she's had numerous people from numerous worlds nearly hck up their organs after drinking that junk.] Not man enough to handle it Tweety~?

[Yeah, that's defo the alcohol. Birdy is too manly to cry ~~unless it involves the replaying of traumatic memories related to his dead boyfrando~~.

When he can manage it, he takes a swig of the offered chaser, but man, it's like trying to put out a forest fire with a squirt gun. He throws a watery-eyed glare Norma's way at the "Tweety" remark, trying to think of something sufficiently scathing to say to regain his pride but coming up with exactly nothing.

And then his gaze settles on that bottle of Romulan Blue again.]

[.............]

[Well, actions speak louder than words, right?]

[

#badlifedecisions #livinthafeatheredlyfe #idowhatiwant]

[and so this dumbass birdbrain pours himself

another

helping of Romulan Blue

and downs it

and now he ded from blue

or so he thinks, anyway, hunched over the table with everything feeling like heaping amounts of burning and his organs wanting to crawl elsewhere in his body to cry

this is probably the fastest he's gone past shitfaced, really, it's kind of impressive]

[Oh my god, what is he going. He can't actually be doing what Norma thinks he's doing. No, it's not--]

[Mother of Nerifes he is actually pouring himself another.

No way he's actually gonna drink it tho--]

[HE FUCKING DRANK IT???]

[WHAT THE HELL, WHAT DOES SHE DO?! NO ONE'S EVER BEEN STUPID ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY DRINK TWO FULL GLASSES OF ROMULAN BLUE IN ONE GO, THEY USUALLY LEARN THEIR LESSON AFTER ONE!

WHAT IF HE REALLY DIES?! THIS'LL BE HER FAULT!

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFRKFRJFDXOXIS--!!]

[Norma's just gonna...remove he evidence casually and slink away into the back room...and maybe just go home for the night. >___> Your on your own, Tweety, and you can't pin this on her.]

[Birdy only barely registers Norma cleaning up after him and shuffling away. He can't even lift his head to grumble at her because all his energy is focused on trying not to feel like death. Well, when she comes back out he'll give that brat another piece of his mind!

...

...

...

...

...

...

Or maybe he'll just pass out because his mind has just decided it's time to nope out of the stupid things he puts his body through.]
