Gambling Hall- Adult Character OPEN MINGLE
Who: Everett Vaughan and other adult Mirrorbound characters
When: One Early Aguril Night
Where: DiplomaTea's cellar
What: Socializing mingle for Adult characters only, please!
Warnings: Smoking, alcohol, various drugs, and strip poker.
It must say something of Everett's comfort with Aefenglom that he has tossed out the facade hiding his gambling hall. Late last month, he extended an invitation around to his friends of a speakeasy style social night at DiplomaTea. He'd encouraged those he told direct to further extend the invitation to other adult Mirrorbound. Such was easy to have picked up from the grapevine of those Everett knows and who they then told. Do remember the cutesy code required for entry, it's "bees knees".
With all other patrons gone after normal operating hours, the shop is closed up. Yet, the hum of muffled conversation and music gives away the activity within. A simple ring of entry bell will get a delayed response. If it's Lord Viren, he's both very strict the password is given correctly, while also being thoroughly unamused with any answer. Everett himself will simply throw open the door enthusiastically and usher in anybody who is not obviously a child.
I. Drink, Smoke, Be Merry
Once inside, both the top floor and basement level are bustling with people. The space is crowded, but lively and playful. It's easy to join a conversation simply by meandering nearby and nodding ones head a bit. There's a piano in the above level, enchanted to place some background tunes and sometimes being actively played by Everett. Any other party goer is also welcome to take up the seat and play some tunes.
The cellar has kegs of alcoholic cinnamon spiced cider on free tap, an open bar of various liquors, and various... rolled cigarette boxes with different labels. Definitely pay attention which read "tobacco", "cannabis", and "opium" because those will give a very different evening based on choice. Everett is nothing, if not, a very generous host.
I. The Hall
The most active space would be the main gambling hall in the cellar. Everett has three main attractions here. In one corner, simply enough, is a pool table where people can play and watch while leaned up against the wall. Just be mindful when walking by, messing up someone's shot is easy enough if they're not minding their draw back reach.
Opposite that is a large gambling table with many seat. On one side there is a bowl and dice, while the other has cards for various games. Strip poker was, surprising, not Everett's idea. It simply started up and he didn't stop it.
Last and most odd is Everett's large vault beside the bar. Beside it is a set of lockpicks, set out as a challenge. His father, Vaughan, was the finest Springtide Vaultmaker and Everett has a passion for the subject of both creating and cracking difficult locks. This one must be broken the technical way, he's had antimagical runes to counter too easily meddling. Still, it's not impossible to get into and he's supposedly emptied it of anything personal, offering a small cune fortune to any who could break it.
There will be plenty of time and no limit on attempts, the party will be going for the majority of the night.
[OOC: Hi all! This is an OPEN MINGLE for adult characters! Presume all CR with Everett was invited directly and anybody without CR with him could have heard about it through the grapevine. Characters are welcome to use the above prompts or create their own in the setting.
Since these activities are all taking place in both a relatively small area and also at the time, please consider all your threads open to threadjacking and/or being witnessed or overheard by any other characters in attendance! Tag around, jump in and out of each other's conversations, have fun and don't worry about tag orders. Everett will not have his own TL, but I will definitely get him around to as many people as I can.
For characters below the age of 18, sorry, not getting into this party... but feel free to putter around outside, attempt to sneak in, or get turned down at the door!]

"Does it taste good? It doesn't seem particularly flavorful to me." He's experimented with plants, but not with the goal of cooking. But count on Saori to consider that aspect.
no subject
She pauses, realizing what this knowledge could imply about her. "I-I've only done that once, really! I'm more familiar with hemp, you know the species of cannabis that's lower in the chemicals that get a person high."
no subject
And if the goal is for the taste to be masked, then maybe the 'brownies' wouldn't be so bad. From Saori's reaction, though, they might be...what, immoral? Hector's never really understood why certain 'vices' are considered such, except that the Church is terrible and seeks to root out and destroy anything that might distract from its power.
"Would you be open to doing it again? You've got me curious about it now."
no subject
"I suppose I could bake a small batch but...wait, can sheep even eat chocolate?" She knew canine-based Turnskins couldn't have chocolate but she wasn't sure for the other monsters.
"I guess if worse comes to worse, I'll figure another way around it." Or maybe this was a sign may be not to do the thing. Still, this seemed like something fauns could benefit from the calming effects of it.
no subject
"The only way to tell for sure is to try it. I don't think a small dose would be dangerous, even if it is incompatible."
The difference between a scientist and a normal person: when presented with a potentially dangerous option, the scientist chooses to proceed with a series of rigorous trials.
no subject
Saori is starting wonder is this the equivalent of 'if you give a mouse a cookie' or in this case, 'if you give a faun a brownie'.
no subject
[Hector's used to being the one with a useful skill to offer others, not being the one on the receiving end. Nobody just gives him things. He doesn't think Saori has ill intentions...but she must want something from him, right?]
Last time I brought the wine. What would you have me bring for brownies and ice cream?
no subject
[Honestly, with the struggles she was having with her bond partner, she needed this sort of interaction to heal herself. Something quiet and relaxing with a side of pet therapy. ]
I mean it, really.
no subject
And that's fair. He can bring the pet, or he can be the pet."And I can provide you with some of Everett's plants, would you make the...thing?"
Because he is curious. So many people seem to enjoy the drug, and he wants to know why. He's a faun, he should be able to take anything recreational.
