[ listen... 26yo jacopo loves good wine he's just dead inside

Perks up. ]

You don't need to go out of your way, but... I'd be lying if I said I'm not curious.

[holyspirits]

[ me as him though.

also, nice, a reaction. ]

Would I be a good bartender if I didn't try to make my patrons happy? It's fine. I want to give it a shot.

[obdure]

Suit yourself.

[ not derogatory ]

Were you a bartender before this?

[holyspirits]

Nah. I used to mix drinks and stuff on my own time but never anything professional. First time gig and everything. But it keeps things interesting.

[obdure]

That's an interesting hobby... Though I imagine pricey.

[ But he's a peasant. Affordable good alcohol isn't a thing. ]

You're not behind... The strange concoctions, right? The ones that make us do weird things.

[holyspirits]

A lot of the time other people provided the supplies. I just knew what to do with it. [ sometimes you just know what works and what does not.

but they glance at the menu and shake their head. ]

The weird ones show up on their own, kinda like the food on each of the islands? The only ones I make myself are anything I hand deliver, and the ones honoring the dead.

[obdure]

... Heaven's such a strange place.

[ like. why. he guesses it's enrichment. ]

One made me bite someone. It's as humiliating!

[holyspirits]

[ unfortunately. ]

Was it someone hot at least? [ the way they say this indicates it is 100% not meant to be serious though. ]

[obdure]

[holyspirits]

[ sorry, they are just laughing. ]

[obdure]

THAT ISN'T IMPORTANT!!

[holyspirits]

Methinks the lady doth protest.

[obdure]

—WHAT?!

[holyspirits]

WHY ARE WE YELLING?

[obdure]

B-Because—you said something ridiculous?!

[ Jacopo gets embarrassed incredibly easily. ]

[holyspirits]

I don't know, I think it's a valid question.

[ they are absolutely fucking with him because this is funny. this is just what you do with people you decide you like hanging out with. ]

[obdure]

[ this is the most bullied i have ever played... in my life... ]

... I suppose... Claude is not bad to look at... But...

[ The word "hot" makes him uncomfortable. That says too much about a person if they answer. ]

[holyspirits]

[ so funny. ]

Ah. [ as if this explains everything. ] ... I mean yeah, it could definitely be worse. It could be a lot worse.

[ claude seems like the type of person who wouldn't be super fussy about it, is the thing. ]

[obdure]

... It could be. Claude's a troublemaker, but he's a good friend.

[ Jacopo will never say this again later. ]

You really did not need to ask... If it was someone hot...... That wasn't necessary...

[holyspirits]

I believe you. Never really spoken to the guy myself, but some people would likely agree with you.

[ jacopo... ]

How was I to know that'd be your reaction to a simple question?

[obdure]

How else was I supposed to react?! I was caught off-guard!

[holyspirits]

Is it gonna help if I preface it next time with "I'm going to ask you a disarming question"?

[obdure]

Maybe... Some questions shouldn't be asked... Since they're not important.

[ FOR THE SAKE OF A REACTION ]

[holyspirits]

But if I don't ask questions, how will we ever get to know each other better?

[ gabriel, an absolute shithead. ]

[obdure]

... I hope this isn't a segue to you talking about who you find attractive.

[ jacopo at least pretend to be interested SO I CAN LEARN ]
