"Wine" Tasting and Drinking Games

[superjoanjett]

Did Jessica completely forget about class today? Certainly not because there was a bottle of wine sitting on the bar when people came into Caritas and she was pouring everyone a glass.

"Tonight's selection is Night Train. It's a fruit wine that tastes..."

Hmm. Walked into that one. Jessica frowned and sipped at it.

"Like someone added corn syrup to Nyquil," she finished. "Please partake and decide for yourself."

"As for tonight's game we shall play two truths and a lie. You tell two truths about yourself and one lie. Those who choose the lie have to drink. Shall we?"

Like you've taken Nyquil.

Wine Tasting & Socializing

MMMM. Nyquil.

"Well. It's got the night theme down, at least."

"That's..." Stark made a face at the cup. "Medicinal?"

Shunsui took a moment to pour a little of the Night Train into one of his cups, took a tentative sip, immediately gave Jessica a withering sort of look, and then promptly added his sake.

And the wondered if he should be mildly concerned that it actually wasn't all that terrible once the sake was added, in his opinion.

Silver usually wasn't too picky about what he drank, but this stuff was truly awful. The color should have been a good indicator, it was an unnatural shade of red for a wine.

"Okay," said Rosa, who took a sip and then promptly leaned over the bar to pour the rest out into the nearest sink or drain. "So you just hate everyone. Duly noted."

Seivarden just looked into the glass, sniffed whatever excuse for a wine this was, and decided against it.

She considered if she should suggest to Summer to make terrible jello shots out of Jessica's terrible so-called wines.

"You know what?" said Amaya, after a hearty swig and a glance at her glass. "I think this is the best one yet."

Amaya.

Amaya, no.

(In her defense, though, it wasn't exactly a high bar, either).

Re: Wine Tasting & Socializing

[what_the_shock]

Miguel eyed it skeptically, then took a swig without smelling or tasting it as much as he good. "Done."

That was the best he could say about it.

Two truths and a lie

[superjoanjett]

Or just like for all of them and tell people to drink anyway.

"Uhhhh, let's see." Duke counted on his fingers. "My hometown's biggest rivalry is between two little league teams, I once got arrested at a drag show in Prague, and when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I told them I was going to join the foreign legion."

"Well....I own a store ♥," Shunsui began with a lopsided grin, "I rather enjoy sake, and I am twenty six years old ♥."

What? Did you think he'd.actually bother making it difficult for anyone?

"I'm a natural blonde, I have a dog, I'm wearing black."

Hey. Some people wanted to make it easy just so everyone could drink; others made it easy because she had no interest in having anyone speculating on who she was beyond the surface level.

She was a little tempted to see what would happen if she threw 'Rosa.Diaz is my real name's in there somewhere, though.

Re: Two truths and a lie

[special_rabbit]

Amaya wasn't too keen about people knowing much about her, either, but she also wasn't going to go all Rosa about it, either. She gave it some.careful thought before nodding confidently with her offerings.

"I took up my first blacksmithing apprenticeship when I was seventeen," she started, "I've read the entire Chronicles of Bodrik the Bold cover to cover a total of five times, and my favorite flower is a petunia."

"I have a cat, I'm really good at bartending, I know how to make pizza."

She would never claim to be a good bartender. And she did actually know how to make pizza, thanks to Ignis.

"I don't lie," Lucifer said. "Pass."

And then drank anyway, yes.

[flourish_or_perish]

Faye considered her truths -- really, the lie was going to be the easy part -- for a long moment before speaking up.

"I'm twenty-five years old," she said slowly. "I've been attacked by food that was left in a refrigerator too long. And my spaceship has fewer engines than guns."

Re: Two truths and a lie

[stykera]

Stark was quiet for a moment as he considered his answers. It was easier to come up with truths that sounded like lies than the other way around. He had plenty of absurd truths but he was somewhat out of practice at lying.

"I married two of my friends in the middle of a battle. I once planned a shadow depository heist. And I own a living ship."

Re: Two truths and a lie

[jedigrammarians]

"I've participated in galaxy changing research, I have great relationships with my exes, and my last boss was super chill about terminating my employment."

Someone had a very flexible definition of truths and lies.

"I had terminal lung cancer but got better, I was a percussionist in a punk band, and I'm a high school drop-out," John said cheerfully, toasting his companions.

Re: Two truths and a lie

[what_the_shock]

Miguel thought about it, swirling his glass a bit. "I got thrown off a skyscraper once, I've flown in space, and I'm venomous."

Talk to Jessica

[superjoanjett]

Because she's trying the Night Train again and someone should stop her.
