I am, but it is for my own as well. I would not mind getting better at those games you enjoy and providing a decent challenge for you from time to time.
[ a small but fond smile. ] To the arcade then. [ he opens a portal to it, to make travel that much faster. ] But first a round of Blackjack.
[ he produces a set of cards and shuffles them with flourish, looking around to find a table to set them down and deal their starting hands. ] If I win, then you’ve got to help me with my burden. If you win, then you can ask whatever you like of me.
[ he flips his own cards, ] 7 & 2… [ well he’ll be hitting on his turn, but sunday needs to see his cards first. ] Let’s see your hand.
I know. I want to earn the help. I'm going to hit. [ he flips a king. ] Lucky me~! 19. I'll stay... [ even if he's itching to take another hit. ] You're up.
I am... but we can take care of that another day. I'll definitely appreciate the help. But for now let's have some fun. Do you want to pick out a game~? In the meantime I'm going to go grab a drink, so would you like something?
...slim pickings. [ no pumpkin lager. he'll get the other option. pulse can't remember what it is. ] Skeeball is fine by me. [ he's already sipping his own drink as he offers the other to sunday. ] I bet I'll win~
[ It's the foxlust lager ...which tastes foul, and he makes an effort to swallow it down. Still, he soldiers through it guzzling the rest of it down since he feels crappy already.
Then throws the balls...19! Alcohol has made him better at this game somehow. ]
...huh. Look at that. [ he downs the remainder of his drink and then steps back up. ] Obviously. I'm not one to back down. Go get us another round [ he says while he starts trying to skeeball... the alcohol clearly making him worse - 7. ]
[ He brings them both second bottles, but this alcohol is unusually strong and starts to get to him fast. If only that were enough to discourage him, but he's drinking it down fast.
Somehow, he manages to score a 12. ]
I do not think this is simply your game if you want to choose something else like the dancing one? Can you beat the Harmony at a rhythm game?
[ he tips his head in thanks and takes a few sips... only to stop when sunday schools him a second time. ] Did they have Skeeball in Penacony or something? And it sounds like you're getting cocky.
Real cocky.
And, yes, I can beat the Harmony. [ time to ddr. he steps onto the machine and motions for sunday to join him. boom boom dollar bb. lets go! ] Get ready to lose.
[ The two bottles is really hitting him hard, and he's removing his jacket, unbuttoning a few of his top buttons, and rolling up his sleeves as he gets on the pad. He's never played this before, but it seems easy enough...just tap the arrows based on what's on screen.
He rolls a 4 so he starts, immediately eats shit, and lands on his face on the pad. ]
[ aventurine steps back so he can get back onto his feet and... start dancing again, but instead of competing with him he does, in fact, dance with him. he reaches for his hand and tugs him flush into him as he hits random song & random difficulty. yolo! the ddr song comes on and aventurine is more focused on actually dancing with sunday... though he does still try moving across both dance pads to hit their arrows. let's work in tandem, birdie~ ]
[ He blinks a few times in surprise before draping his arms around Aventurine's neck as he nuzzles his forehead and his nose, dancing a little too close and leaning on him a little. More than a little. He's relying on Aventurine to keep his balance as he aims to hit the arrows in time. ]
I believe you can thank Gaiathra Triclops. [ aventurine sets a hand on the small of sunday's back for added support as they glide across the dance pad, the space between them disappearing like their inhibitions. ] And maybe the lighting...
Then send them my utmost gratitude. I think you would look equally beautiful in any kind of lightning.
[ He's slowing down a bit so he can cup Aventurine's face, his thumbs stroking over his bottom lip as he inhales the taste of alcohol from Aventurine's mouth. ]
...will do. [ he parts his lips to lick at his thumb. ] Sure. I could go for another. [ but he makes no move to leave the dance pad. instead he pins sunday to the metal bar at the back of the machine, capturing his wrist and moving it away from his face, so he can lean in and join their lips together for a kiss. ] Have your little sprites get it for us.
[ He summons his echoes with a flick his wrist while he's sucking Aventurine's lips in between his teeth, absently directing them to grab a new bottle and open it. They carry it over, and Sunday takes a sip before crushing Aventurine's mouth back to his and sharing it with him as he presses Aventurine's body closer to his own.
The taste is more intoxicating this way, and he's sure his body is responding faster than he can help it as he licks all the stray drops from Aventurine's chin when he pulls back a bit. ]
[ aventurine's not expecting a shot of this caliber, but it's not unwelcome, and instead he finds himself smiling as sunday crushes their lips together to share the special with him. he hums against his mouth, drinking in both the liquor and the birdie - his tongue pushing into his mouth to greedily take every last drop. ]
[ but it seems like sunday had the same idea, because when they part sunday's licking at his chin. ] I'll never understand why. [ now it's his turn to take the bottle from the echoes, so he can drink himself stupid. he returns it to them after he's drank a substantial amount of it, his lips finding sunday's as he gently strokes his feathers. ]
[ He moans into the kiss as his feathers twitch at the touch, and his hips rock closer, brushing tight against Aventurine’s. He knows his self-control is imploding in on itself, but he is helpless to stop it as he curls his fingers against Aventurine’s lower back.
He comes up for air a moment later before attacking Aventurine’s neck with more licks and following every last drop of alcohol to the top of his chest where his shirt is open. ]
You are gonna have to be the responsible one here otherwise I will end up on my knees with you in my mouth. Want to taste you there so much.
…that’s asking the impossible of me, but I can at least be a little responsible. [ he takes sunday’s hand and brings it to his mouth, kissing each of his knuckles. ] I’m not going to let you get onto your knees for me, …even if I’m sure you’d look beautiful with your lips stretched around my cock.
Let’s prove we have a little restraint, birdie, and keep our pants on. [ he curls a finger at the echo holding the bottle, grabbing its neck and tipping it so that it spills its contents on both of their chests. ] But that doesn’t mean we still can’t have some fun… [ he ducks his head and drags his tongue across sunday’s chest to get a taste of both him and the liquor. ] Mmm… exquisite.

Alright, though I already said you hardly have to bribe me into helping.
[ He sits down and flips his own cards: 5 & 6. ]
Your turn.

I lost. Are you satisfied? You have officially won my aid fairly.

1/2
Re: Day 67.
Are you alright?
Re: Day 67.
[ He gets back up and starts dancing...it's somewhat of a mess. He rolled a 7, so he's at least staying on his feet this time. ]
Are you going to let me beat you? You could always come closer and dance with me instead.
Re: Day 67.

Do you want to split another drink?
