Wastin' Away Again~

Who: Teachers! TA's! RA's! Other graduate students! Other students who are crashing (or god help them, working there??)
When: March 8, 2019, in the evening.
Where: A karaoke bar in Soleil.
Warnings: Alcohol

Sometimes, after tests are done and mysteries uncovered, the teachers need to relax.

Which is why there is karaoke! The faculty of Daybreak Academy have converged, through random inspiration and not a terrible lot of planning, on one unsuspecting bar in Soleil on a Friday evening. A few drinks (or more!) are to be had; however, there is also a stage, with a microphone and a big screen -- which shows a music video for whatever song is on -- and the lyrics. A friendly little green ball bounces over them.

It is time to sing your heart out.

It is time... for karaoke.

Oh. Oh-kay!

[He hunches down a bit, scooching closer to Avery. He...tries to whisper, but he's not incredibly successful.]

Are you sure they didn't? They all said the same thing!

They were in my forest. You saw my forest, Hieke! Who just waltzes into a guy's forest like that? Half of 'em probably ended up in the swamp and died. Or fell into the old body pit I had and died.

Lot of death is what I'm saying. And dumb idiots. Could've been any creepy shadow ice lady. Doesn't have to be a spefi... speci... particular one.

I saw your forest. It was a very nice forest with a very nice swamp. [That's a lie.] But a lot of them did not die.

A lot of them survived! I know this! I helped the ones who had hypothermia! [He wobbles a bit in his seat, leaning even closer.] But I don't think there are that many creepy ice shadow ladies, or you wouldn't be so cagey and weird about it!

I'm not cagey and weird! You're cagey and weird!

[he glares and jabs his finger in Hieke's direction]

And even if there were--Even if there were... The lady it could be is probably dead anyway! S'been centuries!

I am not! I am perfectly open and honest!

[He blinks at the finger, before trying to wave it away.]

Well you're alive after centuries, aren't you? How'd you know she's not still alive too?

'Cause I ate a demon. I don't think she ate a demon. I already ate it.

Duh.

You ate a demon? How? [Wait, wait.] Also, there's more than one way to eat immortality!

It wanted to eat my soul, I wanted to live, so we made a deal. I'm really, really good at deals, Hieke.

[He tries to sound intimidating, but he's slurring a little too much for that.]

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-03-11 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Or that demon was really bad at them.

[He's not very intimidated. He can appreciate the effort, at least.]

And that doesn't really answer how you ate a demon.
subconmodo: (this is fine)

[personal profile] subconmodo 2019-03-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very, very good at deals. Just gotta get the wording right and BAM! Solution to contract and starvation. Nice and neat.

So killing that demon saved your life... [This is more information than he knows what to do with. He's not sober enough for this.

Or he's not drunk enough. It's one or the other.]


But still, deals! Not the only way to survive stuff.

[personal profile] subconmodo 2019-03-12 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... I guess there were probably some artifacts laying around she could have used... But no! No. She's dead. Very dead. Super dead. And gone.

[You're not going to trick him into thinking she's around THAT easily, Hieke. He's not to easily swayed!]

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-03-14 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Who is she?

[That seems like the most important thing to be asking. Will he actually get an answer, though?]
