Hah! Alright, got me again, then. I’m terrible at my own game, it seems.
[Knocking it back without much more complaint than that, though. He is. Absolutely starting to feel it now though, because he’d had (looks at fingers) 5? That’s probably fine, he got a high tolerance.]
Okay, my turn again.
When I was younger, I was kidnapped by a cult. I wandered a little too far from the troupe by myself and got a little too drunk at the wrong tavern, and when I woke up, they had dragged me away into the night. My blood has special properties, you see, that they’d use to commune with their god. Tiamat, the queen of dragons, but don’t say her name too loudly, alright? Lots of heads means lots of ears. They bled me, over and over. Never enough to kill me, mind, I was too valuable. Eventually I escaped when someone accidentally left a door open, and I was brave enough to make a break for it. Took me months to reunite with the Carnival, huge pain, honestly.
I really would've. [ he looks. not bothered by that though. ]
Hmm. Is it my turn now?
[ ... ]
When I was younger I got recruited to sing in a local opera company. Completely lucky break, I ended up being one of those "discovered" talents, you know the kind that have the one in a lifetime moment where the right person happens to overhear them singing at just the right time? I ended up travelling all across Fodlan, performing in some of the best and biggest concert halls around, before I gave it all up to join the military instead.
[ damn. gu yun's had a lot of shots by now, though he takes his gamely, snickering anyway at molly's joke, even if he was the one to guess wrong! he loosens the jello with his tongue this time, and then slurps down another shot.
...
while this is happening, he listens to yuri, and then, slaps his hand against his knee, crumpling the jello plastic. ] Bullshit! Bullllshit.
that’s fine. Also pointing at Yuri, sitting back on up his heels, tail swishing.]
Bullshit bullshit bullshit! Total bullshit! Who would ever give up the stage for the military! I’d rather they hang me for treason. I don’t want to live in a universe where that’s true.
[ i, becks, personally hope gu yun has banged more times here than either of them just for that. yuri on the other hand just snorts delicately into his new, unopened jello shot. ]
Seconded.
But again, we'll probably feel like asses if it's true!
Oh, I got distracted! Is it my turn again already? Let’s see. [He’s. Practically just laying down now, stretched out and comfortable and also. Pretty drunk. But that pleasant phase of drunk before you feel bad.]
That’s the thing you’ll believe about me? Assholes, both of you. Suppose you’ll never know either way then when you weren’t brave enough to try and call me on it.
[Hi just going to plonk his head down (like, the back of his head. he’s careful not to impale people even when drunk) on Gu Yun’s lap, and his feet on Yuri’s.]
just kidding. molly's considerate! gu yun makes a noise when his lap is invaded, but doesn't seem to mind it too much, clever fingers brushing against the jewelry on his horns before his hand settles on the top of molly's head.
his fingers are like, corpse levels of cold. i apologize. ]
they are at least current Be-booted so it’s not so bad, probably. Lightly thwacking Yuri with his tail too, for funsies, looking terribly smug that his clever plan to have his hair played with has come to Fruition. Molly himself is . . . surprisingly cold, so he doesn’t seem to notice corpse fingers.]

he's picking up another one while molly is recounting his tale, and when he's done he lifts up the shot like he's cheers-ing him: ]
I'm going to feel like an ass if it's true [ your TRAUMA ] but I'm going to go with bullshit on that one.
no subject
I'll say true. [ just to be contrary. ]

It's bullshit. For me, at least. But I did take the story from someone else.

[ mostly because he's completely and utterly tone deaf.
with a raucous laugh, he scoops up another shot. his turn. ]
