Game 47 ❀ Sapphire

[As the game starts, the ring seems to expand and the borders seem to dissolve; the blankets are further apart, now, and there are cherry blossom trees in full bloom swaying above you. Next to the baskets, four jug have appeared, labeled with a 0, a 1, a 2, and a 3. Looking at them, you somehow know what those labels mean.
0 = completely nonalcoholic fruit juice.
1 = fairly mild sake. It will take most people a while to get drunk.
2 = medium-strength sake. It won't take most people too long to get drunk.
3 = incredibly strong sake. Most people will be out before they know it.
For dragons and other nonhumans, there are appropriately sized shallow cups/bowls of the player's choice.
Though there are only those four jugs, they cannot be broken, and, if spilled or emptied, they will fill themselves again. Kiriko's voice filters through the area.]

Please, know yourselves and judge your limits. It's only a game, after all. You may start drinking at any point.

[Please note that you may judge your character's tolerance and limits however you'd prefer! Just keep in mind that you should know how much it would take to make your character falling-down-drunk or passed out, etc, and play accordingly if they end up drinking that much. If your character has any superhuman alcohol tolerance, it has been blocked for this game, but any innate or non-superhuman alcohol tolerance skills can be treated however you'd prefer to play it. If you want your character to get drunker faster than they usually would, that's fine; if you want them to keep their tolerance and be less affected, that is also fine.]

[Use this space as you will.]

Hell yes. This is a game I can get behind.

[HELPING HIMSELF]

[Please use this thread to note (for my purposes, not ICly) when your character drinks a voluntary cup of alcohol (Penalty or game-necessary drinks do NOT count for this purpose) and what jug it's from!

You may consume alcohol at any point in the game, but drinks will not be counted after the third round.]

Required: 1
Extra: 2

1 voluntary cup from jug 1

1 more voluntary cup from jug 1

To begin with, you must each take a drink and compose, as a team, a brief piece of poetry. The poetry can be no more than ten lines, though it may be as brief as two. There is beauty in simplicity.

[Each character must drink one cup from any jug! That one necessary drink will NOT count for the Drink Up! Tally. When you've finished, ping me.]

........ huh. Spose we can do this. But I'm gonna need help.

[drinky]

[drinks]

Two lines sounds possible.

Serious subject or not?

Not sounds easier. It doesn't matter as much if it's bad if it's funny.

[laughs]

That's my thought on the matter. If'n you pick the subject, I'll get us a quick poem.

Do one about how Sapphire has the most beautiful women of Aather. Judith did win the contest.

[... :3]

Our Judith's got the best damn pair.
An' the others can't do nothin' but stare.

[laughs and has another drink]

Good enough!

[raises his glass]

I'll give my apologies to her after.

[Please reply to this with your finished poem.]

Our Judith's got the best damn pair.
An' the others can't do nothin' but stare.

Short and very sweet. You have gained five points.

Alcohol can be deceptive, can't it? For this game, please go around in a circle and confess something untrue to the teammate next to you. Everyone should get to go twice. Should you laugh at someone or be unable to think of something, though, you must take a drink from jar 2.

[Again, penalty drinks do NOT count for the Drink Up! Tally. When you've finished, ping me.]

[helping himself to another drink. has a decent capacity for alcohol man]

I'm the king of all the Alliance an' I wear a shiny hat.

I was raised by sea monsters.

[pffffft tries to keep it in, but can't. pours himself a second drink then]

Vicious ones?

Oh, yes. Very. That's how I got this scar.

[points to his mostly-missing ear]

Parents these days. Don't take no good care of their kids.

[pauses]

I ain't married.

...so... you are married?

Remembered a crewmate tryin' to trade me a gun for my wife.

[...pffhahaha]

What!?

[takes his penalty drink]

[grins a little]

I'm dead serious. Wouldn't've guessed it from my other memories, but there it is.

I wonder what your wife is like.

...er, I am deathly afraid of dried corn.

Dunno. But I reckon she's gotta be feisty to keep up with me.

[amused, but managing not to laugh]

It's a terrfyin' beast ain't it?

[nods]

It's awful! All yellow and crunchy... it just makes my skin crawl.

You have gained ten points.

Alcohol, however, is not only a deception, it is a way of seeing the truth. One of you— or more, if you are so inclined— must take a drink of your choice, then stand up and yell their true feelings for a member of another team loud enough to be heard by everyone.

[Ping me when you're done with your confession(s)!]

You have gained fifteen points. You have thirty total that may be shared, though you may or may not have more. You must decide, now, whether to share these with another team— or other teams— or keep them all to yourself. Please decide swiftly.
