Event Seventeen.

[awashmods]

I went to the wood and got it; I sat me down to look for it And brought it home because I couldn’t find it.

he magical vines creep ever onward, slowly infringing upon the Town. No matter how many are chopped down, no matter how many are set on fire, they keep coming even so. And slowly, one by one, the people in the Town start to fall to the curse that they bring along with them. Stay and tend to the cursed? Venture out into the woods to find the castle at the source of these vines? Whatever you choose to do, you'd better decide quickly; the curse only seems to get worse and worse the longer everyone is afflicted. Welcome to Awash's seventeenth event log, everyone!

[ He reels back at the comment, offended. Mom!? Not father?! How am I the mom?! His hand snaps back out to point at her in a way that says, "Don't. You. Dare!" when she looks straight at him but is speaking to Wei Wuxian.

Yet ... she did dare!

They both dared!

Leaning back, it feels for a second like he is watching the stream come out in slow motion. He was fairly certain that he is going to actually end up covered in wine, too. He does not want to go home reeking of alcohol -- thank you; no, thank you!!

But he actually caught it in his mouth! Not a drop spilled?! Really!? He looks between the two as his eyes widen just a little. But his amazement about the feat is somewhat lost when at the end he's given a look like he's some stuff-shirt, no-fun-allowed parent!

Excuse you!! His arm finally drops as he realizes that he's still pointing at Kaoru as he crosses his arms and looks away. ]

Ridiculous. [ If he's going to be the fuddy-duddy of the group, he's going to do it with gusto and dedication to his role! ]

[queenofminiskirts]

What can I say, I have a bit of talent when it comes to things like this!

[She's kind of impressed that he actually managed to catch all that in his mouth.

She would have applauded when she stopped pouring but then...she reached out to pat Shen Qingqiu on the shoulder instead.]

Come on, sensei! I'll pour some for you too.

[espritdecorpse]

[ His head snaps around when he hears the word "ridiculous." It's just so.... nostalgic. Or something.

...

He takes advantage of Kaoru's momentary distraction, as she's patting Shen Qingqiu's shoulder, and steals the wine jar away from her (he has lots of practice with that as well). ]

I'll do it, I'll do iiiiit~!

[ He leaps to the man's other side, opposite Kaoru. ]

A-Qiu, A-Qiu, you never played a drinking game before? Surely you must have, when you were younger? I wonder what you were like back then! Hahahahaha! Were you fun? Were you naughty? Or were you always like this, so upright, so distinguished, so righteous your whole life? I used to know somebody like that, he was so boring. What a waste his looks were: skin like white jade, eyes like precious jewels... but his expression, his expression was so sour, it's as if he drank vinegar all the time. Hahahaha! Don't be like that A-Qiu, have a little fun sometimes!

[ He's pouring A-Qiu a cup but not paying attention; it overflows. ]

[shizun]

[ He pulls his shoulder back as she pats it. No. I'm the fuddy-duddy. I'm committed to my role. Shen Qingqiu clung to that instead of going with the feeling of "your mother is very unimpressed and we shall talk about it on the walk home"!! I still am a man and still have my pride! ]

What did we discuss? No pouring.

[ Making a small noise when Wei Wuxian comes to sit next to him, he gives him a level look. Then he glares at the jar of wine. He sounds like someone who would have an ulcer in this situation. Thankfully, I'm just a little annoyed. Just a little! But I'm holding my ground! Both of you acting up so much! Someone has to be the responsible one.

Ah?

His hand is all wet as the cup overflows! Just when I was worried about it and it happens! ]

Pay attention! Pay attention! [ The mess is already there so there's nothing to it. He closes his eyes and outright admits: ] And no. I never played any drinking games. [ Being sick sucks! And I'm certain the original goods never did either. He's much too unlovable for anyone to want to play games with! ]

We are cultivators and have to act accordingly! [ An elegant air! You know?! ]

And you! [ Know what! He's doing it! He's back to pointing toward Kaoru, ignoring his overflowed cup! ] You act accordingly, too! Just because you are in a new world does not mean you can go wild. [ In the end, without his notice, he definitely is acting like "a mother disapproving of her daughter's behavior." ]

[queenofminiskirts]

[She laughs and holds her hands up in a gesture of surrender.

Now that she no longer needs to keep the wine out of reach she does sit down again, by perching on the back of the couch. She's sure Wei Wuxian won't mind her feet on the couch seat.]

We should teach sensei some drinking games. Like the King Game!

[She's grinning at the fact that Wei Wuxian is being lectured. She makes an expression at him like she's about to say, yeaaah, act more accordingly!. But then he turns on her and, wow. Even her mother doesn't lecture her like this (Minamoto would though).]

Come on, we're just having some fun. And look, I'm being good! I'm not even drinking anything!
