[BAR. BAR. topher doesn't even drink, because he wasn't allowed to because Adelle had the sense God gave a penguin. But since this is an awkward gathering, he's just gonna sliiiide on over here.]

I wonder how many other jobs have this much alcohol readily available.

Bartending? Chefs, Any restaurant with a liquor license, liquor stores ... I'm pretty sure it's a long list. [but anyway.] What'd'ya want?

Those are such cheap answers. [he stares at the choices offered to him and realizes that his knowledge base doesn't extend to alcohol beyond "that horrible tasting expensive scotch that Adelle drank all the time."] Surprise me?

Cheap, but still right. Fine, fine, here's one of my favorites. [ he whips topher up a dead nazi in a glass that's def not a shot glass.]

[he's gonna squint at the thing that is not a shot glass.] I wasn't expecting it to be that big.

[zing]

[omg topher it's a lowball glass don't be a baby. jk alex expected him to be a baby.] It's the perfect amount of alcohol to sustain a family function. For a couple hours, anyway.

Yeah, De Witt used to drink her whiskey in one of these until she gave up on the glass.

[that branch of Pegasus had some times. hesitantly, he picks up the glass and takes a hearty sip to prove he isn't a weenie. it doesn't go immediately to his head (fort save 15), BUT IT DOES MAKE HIM COUGH.]

Oh wow. That's... What is that?

[don't laugh alex don't laugh ... too late he laughed. at least it was just a chuckle. w/e.] Jager and peppermint schnapps.

I definitely tasted the peppermint. [he snorts a bit, shaking his head.] And so did my sinus cavities.

See, that's a good thing. It'll keep your sinuses clear. And your breath minty, if you were thinking about kissing anyone ...

[he was in the process of taking a smaller sip when Alex said "kissing" and he still almost chokes on it. his voice pitches awkwardly] Kissing?

[almost-30-year-old-virgin says what.]

[he just stares at topher like omg u precious child.] Yeah, kissing. Not me, don't get your panties in a bunch. I meant in general. And I wasn't even serious, anyway.

You say that, but I haven't missed the mistletoe. [he waves a hand not currently wrapped around his glass absently] ...Not that I think you're conspiring. I'm just saying. It's there. I just wasn't thinking of it until this moment.

Well, maybe now it won't catch you off-guard. [ironic laughtrack in the bg]

[title card: THE MISTLETOE CATCHES TOPHER OFFGUARD.]

It's not like anyone actually uses it as an excuse to kiss random strangers, unless they're wasted or already... [he struggles to find a word that isn't insulting] ... really friendly. That's just a thing television invented.

Well, yeah. You know most of these people by now, don't you?

[he looks around.]

Yeah, most of them have actually interrogated me at some point.

If you wanna practice kissing on someone ...

[he didn't crit fail that wisdom roll even with his negatives. in fact, he rolled so high, so he just looks at Alex with a wide-eyed expression of DA FUCK]

Dude. Are you ever turned off? And by turned off, I mean is all of that [a makes a vague gesture at Alex's... Alexness] always turned on?

...God, there's no easy way to ask that question without getting answers I don't want.

[just smirking amusedly over here while topher gently digs his hole] Pretty much.

Isn't that exhausting?

[said the virgin]

Sometimes, I guess? I mean, conquest fatigue is real. But it's not like something you can just ... turn off. It's like being hungry.

So basically a constant gnawing... man-reaction?

[he looks so horrified at himself for those words strung together in that sentence.] That was not a well-formed sentence. I blame the schnapps.

Edited 2016-02-02 19:38 (UTC)

[he tilts his head a little like did this child really just say that shit??? what??? but then he laughs so. it's probably okay.]

Uh, yeah, somethin' like that.

[awkward silence.]

Wow. There's really no saving this conversation, is there?
