I'm looking for fruit and herbs for making alcohol. I got some things I can trade, give fighting lessons, or give ya a small share of what I make in exchange.

Interested?


Locked to Yu

Hey, I understand you're a friend of Xion's. I was thinking we could have a little talk.

[At first he was going to suggest some rice, because that's what they generally used as a base ingredient for alcohol in Japan, but then he noticed a certain locked message specifically for him.
...?
What could this be about?]

Yes, I am. [Did something happen?] What is it?

Re: audio|locked;

[midgarhorizon]

Just curious.

[Pause. Pause. ...Pause.]

Xion likes ya. I heard how she talked about you.

[Hmm.]

I just wanted to get to know you, slick.

[He's sounding pretty amiable for the most part.]

[pitiedthefool]

[...Okay, what is with all of the pausing and suggestive tone?]

We're just friends, mister...? [Seriously man, name?] You seem to already know my name, at least.

Re: audio|locked;

[midgarhorizon]

[What suggestive tone Reno's being straightforward dude.]

Yeah, that's part of what I'm worried about. Xion don't know too much about stuff like this, but I got some experience. She likes you.

[Sigh.]

Just don't do anything to hurt her, slick.

[It sounds like it too him, because you are suggesting a girl who has no idea what a crush is... has one.... yeah. :|b WE ARE ONLY RANK THREE OF TEN, OKAY. WE ARE WORKING ON THIS.]

If you say so.

[He isn't so sure, and this coming from the guy who had an avalanche of love letters in his shoebox at his last school...]

I won't. Hurting others just isn't my style. [A pause.] And it's Yu; not 'slick.'

Re: audio|locked;

[midgarhorizon]

Glad we agree. If ya want to come visit while she's at my room you're welcome to.

You know poker? I've been teaching the-... [Shion was gone... stop thinking about it.] Teaching Xion how to play, we're lacking a player or two.

[pitiedthefool]

Alright.

[...He knows that feeling, and is currently wondering about the pause. Almost asks if he's alright, but keeps silent for now.]

A bit. Can't say I've played lately, but I know the rules.

[absolute_perception]

Fighting lessons sound intriguing. Where do we meet?

[Elian has been out exploring since he arrived so he hasn't met any of his roommates yet.]

[midgarhorizon]

The Meadow. If I'm not there, 2-12. What fruit you got?

[absolute_perception]

I found a melon. I won't need it. You're welcome to it. 2-12 should be easy enough for me to find. I'm a resident there myself.

[midgarhorizon]

...

[What. Reno hasn't had new roommates in a long time, sorry if he takes a moment to stop being shocked.]

What. When did that happen?

[absolute_perception]

A few days ago. According to the calender, it would be Monday.

[It's okay. He's used to being a little ninja at times.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Brb trying to get used to the idea of a full room again.]

Melon should be fine. If you got anything more, let me know.

[mustlovedogs]

Lemme get this straight - you know how to make booze, and you'll give me some if I bring you junk for it? Deal.

[midgarhorizon]

Hold on there, not just any junk. Got to be just right. Takes a lot of effort to make this crap.

[mustlovedogs]

Sure, sure. So what's 'just right'?

[midgarhorizon]

Ripe, can't be rotten or have bugs in it.

[mustlovedogs]

You think I'm a fucking idiot? Who'd want something with bugs in it or all rotten?

[midgarhorizon]

Oho? You did ask what "just right" was.

[fallen_stage]

Rather than fruit, wouldn't a starch be more productive? Potatoes or gysahl root are popular ingredients.

[midgarhorizon]

How about you make your fruit wine your way then, and see how it comes out.

[fallen_stage]

I was thinking something stronger than mere wine, but I suppose one would need to distill that.

Actually... Tell me, have you ever heard of distillation by freezing?

[midgarhorizon]

Hmm. I think.... maaaaybe... yeah. Have you? I could explain it.

[Reno is having a bit of fun at your expense, Kuja. Sorry.]

I sure hope I'm interpreting and repeating this right @_@

[fallen_stage]

[Please, Kuja's not that easy.]

Of course. Alcohol has a relative low freezing point compared to water, so if I lower the temperature by magic and remove any ice crystals I find, I can increase the alcoholic content in the remaining liquid. I can cool it more and more to create something far more potent than fruit wine alone.

that's fine Reno will react the same either way XD

[midgarhorizon]

Kuja.
