[ Well. Considering the obvious connection between the execution participants and this guy? Hua Cheng can't say he blames him, as he comes into the pub for that last check of everything.
He pauses, but then huffs a dry laugh before coming in proper. ]
We can't let all the booze go to waste. I get the feeling we're gonna need more of it later on.
[He'll slide a bottle across the bar, in Hua Cheng's general direction. It will stop before sliding off, and it just sits there, waiting to be picked up.]
Xie Lian offered to give me some, but I can't be taking all of his stash.
Gege doesn't drink, so it's likely he just took it for others to have.
[ The answer is immediate, and he comes over to pick up the bottle from where it sits on the counter. It gets a glance over, and then he tucks it under his arm, going to come around to assess the rest of the collection. ]
The fact we've made it a few weeks in with only the little gift bottles is actually fairly impressive.
We just haven't hit the tough times yet, is all. Or the parties. I'm surprised that Xie Lian doesn't drink, though. Is he one of those 'pure monk' types?
[He already knows XL is a god at this point, but he's being respectful of his privacy by not saying it to anyone.]
We also have a number of people I don't imagine drink often. [ What's a drinking age in ancient China. But even then, some of them... ] His cultivation path doesn't allow for drinking, so in a manner of speaking, yes.
[ A beat. ] I'd say it's more their nature than the fact they're children. I couldn't imagine Sora or Hikaru drinking, but even from knowing her in passing it wouldn't surprised me if Clementine could hold her own.
[ And he's taking Xie Lian's drinking habits off the table, because there's more to it than that. ]
But no one will be able to drink if we run out, so. [ Grabbing another few bottles. ]
Yeah, it was. You wanna play, if we have a game of it this upcoming week?
[he is absolutely going to grab some older people for it so they can be raunchy af with their answers without scarring the pure of heart like Mob and Hikaru.]
En, I'm a fan, and my luck is rather good for many games. My city is well known for the Gambler's Den therein - immortals and mortals alike come to place bets there.

Right, we don't need sober parties. I'm still upset that I missed 'never have I ever'.

Oh, is that what they were doing? I suspect a majority would have to curfew together to make it particularly interesting.
