AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[The lights dim and you are no longer in a classroom, but a low key bar. An older gentleman from behind the counter is looking at you as if waiting for your next order. La Torre's voice comes from nowhere in particular:]

Let's pick up where we left all, shall we? You are sitting in a bar. Why are you drinking?

1. Please write down and submit a reason for why your team is drinking.
2. Every player on the team must pick a number 1-50 for their self. This will be your alcohol tolerance level. This is an IC pick so characters who are lightweights may pick a heavyweight number and vice versa.

GOAL: Get as close to full on drunk as possible without blacking out. If you surpass your number you'll blackout and suffer alcohol poisoning. But don't worry; the school infirmary is standing by to receive all cases.

[ I'm so uncomfortable. ]

1. Because Amalthea never loses.
2. Otacon - 15

[Otacon's answer for #1 makes him laugh, so they can stick with that.]

2. Technic - 47

SORT OF DISCUSSION?????

[Leaning right against the counter and talking straight up to the ceiling.]

I don't know, why doesn't our polite host fill the newcomers in???

[inthenude]

Oh, hm. Were you not here this morning? All you foreigners look alike...

[There's a weary sigh. How unfortunate. And then, the story:]

Today I have a story for you. Have you ever heard of the Human Condition? It's a conceited study of what traits innately make a human being a human being. Some say it can be defined as humanity's capacity for good and for evil. If a person has an infinite capacity for good then, like a mirror image, they must have an infinite capacity for evil, right?

There was a man. He was sitting at a bar. He couldn't accept the reality of his world. It was his lot in life to wish for a different lot; he was a selfish, small man. He drank. He drank to forget. He drank to obfuscate his understanding. He drank so he didn't have to accept.

You are sitting at a bar. Why are you drinking?

Don't enough people in Kyriakos have alcoholism? Geez.

[menially]

Probably.

I'm not sure that's the point of the story, though.
