"Wine" Tasting and Drinking Games

[superjoanjett]

Anyone showing up for class today would notice some ominous bottles filled with clear greenish liquid sitting on the bar.

"So. Today's wine choice is absinthe," Jessica began. "And yeah, I know. It's not wine. Whatever. We're fucking drinking it."

She pulled off the cap and started to pour a glass for everyone. "The taste profile is that shitty black jelly bean you accidentally ate with a hint of dusty herbs that someone keeps in their pantry but only break it out during thanksgiving dinner so they don't really taste like they should."

"Oh and supposedly it's supposed to make you hallucinate but I guess that's a bullshit urban myth. So if you start seeing fairies or whatever then they're probably real. As for tonight's drinking game we're all going to pretend we're at some teenager sleepover and play truth or dare."

Because the combination of absinthe and truth and dare is a chemical reaction that Jessica wanted to see happen.

"Let's start shall we?"

"Mhm," Lucifer said. "Obviously they had good taste." Beat. "In drinks as well as humans."

"They did," Duke agreed, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek. "And so do I."

Lucifer grinned in spite of himself.

(This was disgusting.)

"Speaking of," he said, a bit softer, "How did surf practice go?"

"Good," Duke said. "Octavia has gotten very skilled at getting back on the board." He shook his head fondly. "You know that little furrow she gets between her brows when she's really focused on getting something right? I love that furrow. . . ."

"It is a very gorgeous furrow," Lucifer agreed, smiling. "Charming, really."

"She would be so mad if she heard us talking about it," Duke said fondly.

"She'd scowl about it and mutter something in Trig," Lucifer agreed, "Which is also charming."

"Exactly," Duke said, lifting his glass in a little toast.

So did Lucifer. "To Octavia," he said, "Who takes everything as seriously as it probably should be taken, and yet all the rest of us fail to meet the bar."

They were hopeless.

Duke laughed and clinked his glass against Lucifer's. "To Octavia, a perfect balance to our mutual irreverence."
