Tamás Horvath
He was proud he kept his town safe and so he decided to take his guild on a little vacation. He heard everyone was going to Stella, so he decided why not, they can as well. Plenty of Fiorian people here, who knows who they might meet this way. If there was one way to celebrate it was with drinking. If anything they were ready for a party

So they went to a bar or tavern and ordered drinks a plenty. In their celebration they started to clap and hit the table with their fists in a 'melodic' way as they cheered and started a tune, which as their drinks arrived evolved into his favorite drinking song which is rather old and heavily uses archaic language and text
"When we are in the tavern,
we do not think how we will go to dust,
but we hurry to gamble,
which always makes us sweat.

What happens in the tavern,
where money is host,
you may well ask,
and hear what I say."

He drank his beer as others around played musical instruments to create a happier atmosphere and some even danced. It was like free entertainment at this establishment. They were a rowdy bunch"

"Some gamble, some drink,
some behave loosely.
But of those who gamble,
some are stripped bare,
some win their clothes here,
some are dressed in sacks.
Here no-one fears death,
but they throw the dice in the name of Bacchus."

As they would finish their glasses and order for more, they would all continue their merriment of joy, singing, drinking and dancing. And soon slowed down the happy rowdy song to make a toast to all, raising their glass each respectfully as they sang who they toast for in this song
"First of all it is to the wine-merchant"
"the libertines drink,"
"one for the prisoners,"
"three for the living,"
"four for all faithful living,"
"five for the faithful dead,"
"six for the loose sisters,"
"seven for the footpads in the woods,"
"eight for the errant brethren"
"nine for the dispersed monks"
"ten for the seamen"
"eleven for the squabblers"
"twelve for the penitent"
"thirteen for the wayfarers"

Once all the toasts were made they took a shot and continued the rowdy song
"To the Seraphs as to king they all drink without restraint!!" their final toast as the song went to the big climax. He himself even got on the table as they sang and drank

"The mistress drinks, the master drinks,
the soldier drinks, the priest drinks,
the man drinks, the woman drinks,
the servant drinks with the maid,
the swift man drinks, the lazy man drinks,
the white man drinks, the black man drinks,
the settled man drinks, the wanderer drinks,
the stupid man drinks, the wise man drinks,"

As they were all in the mood, in the drinking and singing, he'd also point out all who drinks. Especially if he sees a match in the crowd

"The poor man drinks, the sick man drinks,
the exile drinks, and the stranger,
the boy drinks, the old man drinks,
the bishop drinks, and the deacon,
the sister drinks, the brother drinks,
the old lady drinks, the mother drinks,
that woman drinks, that man drinks,
a hundred drink, a thousand drink."

And soon this drunken bender song starts to go to a close

"Six hundred pennies would hardly suffice, if everyone drinks immoderately and immeasurably. However much they cheerfully drink we are the ones whom everyone scolds,and thus we are destitute. May those who slander us be cursed and may their names not be written in the book of the righteous."

And soon the song ended and he sat back at the table as they all had a nice drink once more as to why not. They were here for fun

Hakai
Hakai had embarked on a weary journey to the town of Giran, a place he quickly realized was not for the faint of heart. The unyielding and uncooperative terrain had presented countless challenges to those who sought to explore the riches and opportunities Giran had to offer. His exhaustion was palpable as he trudged through the unforgiving landscape, but he was determined to see what awaited him in this tenacious town.

Upon entering the local tavern for a break, the cacophony of sounds and boisterous shouts assaulted Hakai's senses. The crowded establishment was alive with lively shanties and raucous revelry, far more vibrant than he had anticipated. Hakai, not known for his prowess in drinking, nevertheless reveled in the vibrant atmosphere. It reminded him of the bonds and teamwork he had forged with his comrades over the years, a nostalgic feeling that brought a smile to his face. As he made his way to the bartender, he ordered a hearty drink and took a seat, clapping his hands to the rhythm of the songs that filled the tavern.

A man, an imposing and experienced figure, suddenly stood on one of the tables, leading the songs with infectious joy. He pointed to various patrons in the crowd, and when he indicated Hakai with the words, "the boy drinks," the young traveler raised his glass in cheer and downed the drink in one swift motion. It was a moment of bliss, a reward for his arduous journey, and the camaraderie in the tavern only added to the enjoyment.

As the song concluded, the seasoned man took his seat, and Hakai seized the opportunity to share another drink with him. He brought one from the bartender and slammed it on the table of the man with a grin. The man looked older and experienced, a sharp contrast to Hakai's youthful appearance, but the prospect of potential riches at the end of his journey drove Hakai forward. "Care for another round of drinks?" Hakai inquired. "This must be your party?"

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Sun Oct 29, 2023 4:21 pm

Toga

The Rune Knight trudged along the grassy plains, his feet heavy as if laden with stones. The long night wore on without end, the promised dawn failing to break over the mountains. He had not seen daylight since arriving in the strange land of Stella, where an endless night reigned. The starless blackness above mirrored the bone-deep weariness that had seeped into his soul during the long vigil returning his charge to Giran. With each sluggish step nearer to the mountain city, the cobblestone streets beckoned, offering respite for his travel-worn body, though perhaps not for his restless mind. The darkness clung to him like a shroud, smothering hope that the sun might ever rise again. But he pushed on through the shadows, compelled by duty alone.

The endless night should have alarmed Tōga, yet the people of Stella seemed unbothered, even celebratory. Perhaps some unique magic drizzled this cloak of darkness over the land, a mystery they honored in festivals stretching across the country. Tōga pondered if the population had long ago accepted an eternal midnight as their poetic fate. Though confusing to an outsider, the darkness did not equate to evil in Stella. Despite encountering supernatural trials since his arrival, Tōga had met no ill will. Even the god who forced him into magical combat rewarded his efforts handsomely. The residents he'd encountered remained friendly, with only warmth and welcome to offer a weary traveler. While Tōga did not comprehend the reasoning behind their beloved darkness, under the starless sky he found not fear but fellowship. The night felt like a blanket embroidered with unfamiliar legends and songs rather than something sinister. As long as no malice lurked in the shadows, the Rune Knight accepted the strange land's nocturnal beauty.

Freshly bathed and bandaged, Tōga winced with every step as he limped into the mountain city of Giran. Though he had tended his wounds, his body still ached from the arduous journey. He yearned for the numbing comfort of a stiff drink to soothe his pain. As he wandered the cobblestone streets, raucous laughter and festive music spilled from a crowded tavern. Tōga followed the siren song of revelry, stepping into the warm glow of the tavern. A kaleidoscope of humanity caroused within - people of all shapes, sizes, and walks of life gathered to eat, drink, and be merry. Their drunken chaos had a rhythm, an enthusiastic abandon tempered by the unspoken rules of camaraderie. In this strangers' symphony, Tōga hoped to find a welcome respite. He claimed an empty seat, flagging down a barmaid. As foaming ale filled his tankard, the Rune Knight let the harmony of the tavern flow over him, the pain in his body momentarily forgotten. For now, he was content to simply watch the poetry of life unfold.

“Time for some ale and mead,” his mouth utters words of excitement as he steps into the party, seemingly blending in with the people, and unexpectedly arriving at the table of the newcomer and the apparent patriarch of this amazing party.

“Hello!” he shouts towards the two.

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Sun Oct 29, 2023 7:13 pm

Tamás Horvath
As he was enjoying a drink with his guild mates, someone would join his table and ask him if he was down for another round of drinks, as well as asking him was this his party
"Another round of drinks? Yes please. My party? No no, not at all. We were just in the area and figured I should treat my guild to something nice and show them I am capable of relaxing every once in a while. Besides, it does not hurt to bring some joy in your average tavern. Make the place more lively" he said and then snapped his fingers to the bartender to give him more

Soon another face would appear and greet them, Tamas would reply "Greetings" despite his merryment from the song, he knew how to easily switch back to his more usual self. Just not as intense as before. He was still carrying that hint of formality, albeit more friendly and relaxed as opposed to his usual monotone and emotionless and rather stiff self. He'd motion to someone behind him to continue with the music, but more relaxed. Just to keep the more upbeat mood now that he's off the proverbial stage. So some of his people continued with the music. His guild had a more medieval vibe to it. More traditional and historical fiorian stuff as opposed to other guilds that are more modern day or trying to be more high tech. His guild meanwhile stuck to its roots and tried to give that homely feel to everyone

#5Hakai 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Mon Oct 30, 2023 7:55 am

Hakai
Hakai's smile remained as the man graciously accepted his offer for another round of drinks. In the lively atmosphere of the tavern, such gestures were not only welcomed but encouraged, making it a place where camaraderie flourished. The man seemed laid back and unfazed by Hakai's intrusion at his table, which spoke to the jovial spirit of the festivity.

"Tough Journey?" Hakai, curious about the man's experiences, inquired about the nature of his journey. The man stated that it was indeed a rare occasion for him to have some leisure time. So naturally, Hakai's curious about his experiences. Hakai nodded in agreement, understanding that sometimes, a bit of joy and celebration could serve as a well-deserved respite from life's challenges and efforts.

Despite the lively ambiance, Hakai's senses remained as sharp as ever. The effects of the first glass of drink had yet to dull his vigilance. Just then, a younger man approached their table, catching Hakai's attention. He appeared to be younger than Hakai, sparking the potential for a new friendship.

"Hello," Hakai greeted. "Just in time. We're about to have another round of drinks. You in? Tell you what, should we play a game? Maybe challenge each other?"

Hakai's curiosity was piqued, and he was more than willing to partake in the festivities, embracing the chance to make new connections and perhaps engage in some friendly competition.

#6Toga 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Mon Oct 30, 2023 1:43 pm

Toga
Fate seemed to guide Tōga's steps that night, though he believed himself to be wandering the crowded tavern aimlessly. As he navigated through the sea of patrons, destiny led him to the perfect table. There sat two men who commanded the room's attention as naturally as actors on a stage. One had long auburn hair that fell about his shoulders, while the other kept his snowy locks cropped short. Though physically opposite, their confident auras were equally magnetic. The crowd watched them with interest, but they only had eyes for each other, lost in animated conversation. Tōga knew at once that this was where he belonged tonight - at the table with these two intriguing strangers, whose next act promised to be as compelling as the last.

"A drink would hit the spot, and I'd never say no to a friendly game," Tōga declared, flashing a grin as he pulled up a chair. "Name's Tōga, and it's nice to meet ya both," he continued, extending his hand in greeting. His smile was infectious, lighting up his features and putting all at ease. With his jovial nature made clear, Tōga settled in, signaling the barkeep for another round. Though he had come alone, Tōga now found himself among new friends, their table expanding to welcome him into the fold. The night stretched before them, filled with promise - where it led was theirs to discover together.

“What kind of game did ya have in mind?”

Tamás Horvath
"That is one long story. Not really for this setting" he replied in terms of tough journey. Yes, his life was a tough journey, but things eventually settled and he just wanted to give back to his people now, which was his goal.
As another person joined, he greeted them. The person introducing themselves as Toga.
"My name is Tamas" he introduced himself to Toga. He then looked at the first person who mentioned a challenge or game

"Challenge accepted" Whatever it was. He took another shot at his drink as he was sobering up. He handled booze well, too well. So he needed to fix that. He wanted to relax for once and not just be overly serious or worried or working. He should definitely do this more often.
Anywho, now he wondered, what did the person have in mind. He was properly curious. But all the same, he was still having fun and he was glad.

#8Hakai 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Tue Oct 31, 2023 6:04 am

Hakai
A wide grin remained etched on Hakai's face as both Toga and Tamaz readily accepted the challenge, seemingly unfazed by the idea of playful competition accompanied by drinks. The camaraderie in the company of new friends was exactly what Hakai had been hoping for, and he felt a sense of connection with his newfound companions, knowing that such interactions were invaluable during tough times or leisurely moments.

Hakai welcomed the pair to their table, making it clear that they were here to enjoy themselves, but also to ensure their businesses wouldn't be disrupted by any newcomers who might wish to join in. However, Hakai's welcoming nature extended beyond the confines of their trio, and he had no intention of scolding or excluding anyone who wished to partake in the festivities.

Introductions were made, with Hakai keeping his own introduction brief and to the point, simply stating, "Hakai. Pleasure is mine." As Toga and Tamaz shared their names, the backgrounds that had brought them to this tavern mattered less than the shared camaraderie they were about to experience. Taking his place at the table between Toga and Tamaz, Hakai raised his hands to signal the bartender and ordered a substantial amount of drinks, causing the surrounding patrons to raise an intrigued eyebrow or two. "Well, let's get this started, gentlemen!" Hakai announced, a hint of excitement in his voice. Although he had a plan in mind, he didn't want to rush the enjoyment and wanted to ensure that everyone was properly prepared for the game. "You all got quarters? Bring them out, especially those beautiful pieces of coins that might hold special meaning!" Hakai chuckled, his words filled with pure enthusiasm and a dash of mischief.

Beverages were meticulously positioned in a circular formation along the table's perimeter, leaving a slight gap between each glass. Hakai's hands moved with precision as they arranged the glasses in their designated positions, a sequence that likely puzzled Toga and Tamaz, especially if they couldn't discern Hakai's intentions. Four drinks were set before each participant, neatly aligning the table's edge.

(OOC: Sorry guys, asking for preparation. Are we aiming for A-rank Social Interactions because Tamaz's an A-rank or S-rank? Thanks)

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Tue Oct 31, 2023 2:04 pm

Toga

The unfamiliar names Hakai and Tamás rolled off the tongue, each evoking different reactions within Tōga. While the elder Tamás sparked no recognition, Hakai's name resonated deeply. The rhythmic cadence conjured images of Tōga's homeland, carrying him back to Joya on waves of nostalgia. Though distant in both time and space, Tōga felt the name's roots must originate from the neighborhood of his youth. Perhaps a long-lost ancestor or childhood friend had gifted this moniker, so quintessentially Joyan in its lyrical flow. While ancestry mattered little now, curiosity compelled Tōga to learn more about this Hakai. Over rounds of drink, he would coax out the stranger's origins, immersed in convivial talk and reminiscence. For now, he simply savored the familiarity of that mellifluous name on his tongue.

As Hakai placed their drink order, Tōga's thoughts meandered to his recent evening with Ittindi. How he wished this encounter had come sooner! Their time together in the tavern may have flowed more freely had he known of this drinking game. When Ittindi had inquired about bar diversions, Tōga's mind drew a blank. But now, armed with Hakai's instructions, he could impart this newfound knowledge. If their paths crossed again over brimming tankards, Tōga would have a ready answer for the Rune Knight. He listened intently to Hakai, determined to comprehend the rules well enough to teach others. Tōga let his imagination wander, picturing gregarious nights filled with spirited competition, the game spreading entertainment and comradery. Though just a simple pastime, it could kindle lasting bonds. Tōga tucked away Hakai's gift of entertainment for future gatherings overflowing with cheer.

"Got it!" Tōga eagerly rifled through his pockets, seeking coins and oddments to use in their drinking game. His eyes lit up as he extracted an eclectic assortment of currencies and placed them in a growing pile beside him. As the waiter and Hakai arranged an array of vessels on the table, Tōga surveyed his trove with delight.

“What’s next?!”

He placed a coin on the counter and curiously looked at the two younger men. His gaze particularly shifted on Hakai as he asked him "So what do we do?" he was curious what sort of a game would be played.

Meanwhile Hakai would meticulously position the beverages in a circular formation along the table's perimeter, leaving a slight gap between each glass. He was not sure if this was merely a trick. He remembered Alexandre showing him some tricks, but he couldnt really remember them. Hakai's hands would move with precision as he arranged the glasses in a certain order. The Guild Master would try to decipher the meaning behind these positions. Four drinks were set before each participant, neatly aligning the table's edge.

"So what do we do?" he would repeat the words, curious but also careful of this game. He knew some games were more unwinnable tricks if you didnt know the trick. Problem was, he couldnt remember them


(OOC: So I've spoke to staff. The max Hakai can go is C Rank and Toga A rank. We cant go S rank, even I. I am the max at this thread. So I cant go above my own rank. The reason you guys can, because there is someone from above rank with you. The only reason to go above some wc is for the triple wc jewel boost, exp and SP wise you guys cant get a bonus)

#11Hakai 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Wed Nov 01, 2023 4:48 am

Hakai
With no prior plan, Hakai found himself in the role of the host for a drinking game. The unexpected turn of events left him feeling the pressure to make the gathering enjoyable, even though he lacked experience in hosting such festivities. Hakai understood that the most important aspect of the evening was the time spent together, the opportunity to learn about the two other men and listen to stories and experiences he had yet to encounter. It was evident that both Toga and Tamas came from different backgrounds than he did, and Hakai couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity about their stories. The name, Toga, even gave out a familiar feeling. "Your coins undoubtedly bear numerous tales," Hakai commented as Toga released his grip on them.

As the drinks were set in their designated positions, Hakai reached into his pocket and retrieved four coins, which he held in his palm, deftly maneuvering them between his fingers. He took a moment to explain the rules of the game.

"I will start off easy. This first round will completely be a piece of cake. It serves primarily as a test round, should you prefer. We'll toss the coin into the air, and if it happens to land in the glass before you, you drink the whole glass. The victor is the one who can consume the most without fainting. The amount of glass in front of you will constantly be 4, we will refill it for you."  Hakai chuckled as he explained. He had another intention with this game yet he deliberately maintained the initial round's simplicity. "It's easy, right?"

In an attempt to flatter Tamas, Hakai mentioned, "Judging by your look, it seems you'd excel at this type of game, sir Tamas," hoping that his compliment would be well received and set a positive tone for the evening. "You first, sir Toga. You can start." Hakai gave the spotlight back to his peer. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as the drinking game was about to commence.

#12Toga 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Wed Nov 01, 2023 3:16 pm

Toga

The warm glow of lantern light filled the tavern, casting a convivial atmosphere over the scene within. At a table in the corner sat Tōga, sharing drinks and tales with his newfound companions Tamás and Hakai. Though recent acquaintances, a budding camaraderie was already taking root between the dragon slayer and his fellow travelers. Tōga knew well the power of nights like these to forge new bonds of friendship. The cheer of the tavern, the flow of ale, the swapping of stories - all worked to break down boundaries and bring souls together. He hoped this evening might mark the start of a fellowship to last the journey ahead.

As Hakai elucidated the guidelines for their inaugural game, Tōga hung on his every word. Though simple in theory - toss a coin into a cup and drink its contents - Tōga knew dexterity and judgment would soon fail them as intoxication took hold. He had no intention of being the fool who fumbled because he ignored the instructions. No, Tōga listened with care, mentally noting each rule so he could conquer the challenge ahead. This contest was suited to his tastes: straightforward, amusing and destined to grow more difficult. With a competitive glint in his eye, Tōga readied himself, eager for the game to commence.

"Okay!" At the signal to begin, Tōga pounced on the chance to play. Reaching for a coin from the pile at his side, he rubbed the warm copper between his thumb and forefinger. Feeling the smooth metal glide across his skin, a smile crept across the dragon slayer's face. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the coin spinning skyward. It twirled through the air, flashing in the light, before plunging into one of the cups spread before him. The coin's impact sent droplets splashing across the table.

"Ooooui!" Tōga bellowed, seizing the cup where his coin had landed. Throwing his head back, he guzzled the liquid contents in hearty gulps. After a few seconds, he paused, adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed heavily. Exhaling in satisfaction, Tōga bared his teeth in a grin, the coin pinched between his incisors. With deft skill, he had drained the cup without ingesting the coin, having fished it from the alcohol with his teeth. Tōga had executed the move flawlessly, proving his expertise at this intoxicating game.

Did he do it right? He’d smile at the thought.

Tamás Horvath
As the young one explained and spoke that he could probably excel at this, Tamas spoke "Well, I am a drinker" probably a heavy drinker; and for those wondering, yes Tamas totally missed the point that someone wanted to try and flatter him because it was a foreign concept to him. Besides he was already jovial in his own way. And yes, he can handle his booze, so this could be fine for him. He wondered how would Toga hold up since, he didnt know the guy and he was going first.

He watched as the Dragon Slayer tossed his coin to the cup succefully and took a swig of his drink
"Good job" he spoke to the fellow drinker
"I assume it is my turn now" he spoke as he thus did the same, a flick and the coin would be up in the air spinning, twirling and falling towards its target. But he didnt nail the aim just right so it hit the rim of the cup and bounced on the outside. He chuckled "Well, I am more of a drinker than a coin flipper" at least he didnt overshoot it to some lucky fool.




(OOC: Ok I checked, cuz better safe than sorry. DW you're not limiting anyone. The max Toga and I can go is A; and the max you can go is B. And we can all get our respective rewards. Its not like 1 thread means everyone has the same reward. Also side fun fact. I used a randomizer to decide should he be able to successfully toss the coin xD)

#14Hakai 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Mon Nov 06, 2023 3:14 pm

Hakai
Hakai's eyes sparkled as he assumed the role of an eager spectator in the unfolding drama of their companions. The game was afoot, and it was Toga who stepped up, commencing with a grand opening that set the bar remarkably high. Drinks splattered across the wooden table as Toga expertly flipped a coin into one of the glasses. "Well done, Sir Toga! You may appear young, but your performance is truly outstanding!" Hakai applauded, his hands gently striking the table in appreciation. He watched with bated breath as Toga demonstrated a flair for chugging down his glass, the coin gripped between his teeth. Toga had now taken the lead in the game by a single point.

In the background, the atmosphere grew busier, with murmurs floating among the patrons. Several nearby tables shifted their positions, gravitating toward the ongoing spectacle. It felt like the main event of the evening, especially since Tamas, who had drawn a crowd before, was also participating.

"Well, this is only the first round. I believe Sir Tamas can match your performance, and I'll do my best not to disappoint you all," Hakai assured, a warm smile gracing his lips. Another coin was sent aloft, this time by Tamas. Breathless anticipation filled the air and Hakai's fingers, which had been tapping on the glasses, paused at the coin's peak. "Ting," it ricocheted off the glass, "Ooooh.." prompting exclamations of disappointment that carried an air of delight and positivity from the crowd. Hakai joined in the collective cheer, extending his support to Tamas and, by extension, Toga. Winning or losing seemed secondary; the prevailing sentiment was one of camaraderie, a shared desire for an entertaining show and delightful drinks. "Too bad, Sir Tamas, but I'm sure you'll conquer it next time."

Hakai placed his palms firmly on the table, preparing for his own turn. He poised the coin between his thumb and index finger, ready for the challenge. As the coins danced and the drums rolled, he contemplated the role of air and fortune in the game. The strength behind the flick of the coin, its trajectory, and the way it ascended all contributed to the outcome. Hakai considered these factors but ultimately relied on his instincts. With a resonant "plunk," the coin found its way into one of the glasses. A victorious grin spread across Hakai's face as he promptly downed the contents of the glass, expressing his satisfaction with melodious sounds. "First round is done! Fantastic! Let's proceed to the second... with a twist," Hakai teased mischievously, a playful glint in his eye, extending a challenge to his fellow participants.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the second round!" With a flick of his fingers, a gentle breeze ruffled his white hair, giving it the appearance of a flickering candle. The other participants would undoubtedly feel the soft gusts of wind that collected and swirled around them. Hakai had decided to employ his magical abilities, knowing that in Fiore and other countries, magic was a common occurrence. His manipulation of the wind, however, appeared as a simple form of wind magic, concealing his true identity as a dragon slayer. With skill and precision, Hakai guided the wind, ensuring it remained an inch away from the brims of the glasses, causing the liquid surfaces to ripple. The invisible currents circled the drinks, maintaining their distance, and circulated around the table. Although the wind remained unseen, its presence was palpable, introducing a new level of complexity to the game. Participants could now sense the strength and direction of the wind, but they could not see it.

"The objective of the game is to either knock down your opponent by making them drink too much or consume as many drinks as you can without succumbing to dizziness. You must choose your tactics wisely as the first option is a two-edged sword. I've introduced subtle winds that can disrupt the coins' trajectories. You can use these gusts to your advantage, directing the coins into your opponent's glass or skillfully guiding them into your own. This round requires a bit of calculation and strategy, hehehe!" Hakai chuckled, eager to see how his companions would adapt to the new challenge. "The stage is yours, Sir Toga!"

More people began to clamour as they were attracted by the show especially when the winds appear. "This is insane.." One exclaimed.

(OOC: Thank you, I will be aiming for B-rank! And I used randomizer as well hahaha, nice idea, we can use randomizer to decide outcome XD )
(OOC: TLDR; If you drink, you got 1 point. If you KO'd, you lose. You can force your opponent to drink by aiming for the coin to their glass but be careful if they are stronger than you think! xd )

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Mon Nov 06, 2023 9:10 pm

Toga

Tōga let out a deep sigh as the alcohol settled heavily in his stomach, the fire in his belly only growing stronger. He was no stranger to drink, having spent many a night consuming far more than most men could handle. His prodigious talent for drinking was likely a gift of his dragon heritage, his inner fire burning away the fog of inebriation. Or perhaps it was simply superior genetics. Whatever the source, Tōga was always ready for another round. The alcohol sloshed inside him, but its effects were muted. He had drunk enough to lay low even the heartiest of men, yet Tōga felt only the pleasant warmth spreading through his veins. The dragon slayer was barely getting started. With an eager grin, he signaled for another drink. This was merely round two, and the night was still young.

Tōga's eager auburn eyes followed Tamás' every move, anticipation stirring as the bulky, brown-haired man prepared for his first round. Tōga could barely contain his excitement, a wide grin spreading across his face as Tamás flipped the coin high into the air. It spiraled upwards, winking in the low light, before beginning its descent. Tōga tracked its path, hope rising within him for a different outcome. But luck was not on Tamás' side. The coin landed true, sealing the guild master's fate - he would have to drink deep this round. Tōga's eyes widened in surprise, though not without a glint of satisfaction. A few more drinks would do Tamás no harm. Settling back, Tōga watched intently as Tamás accepted his loss. The night was still young, and Tōga's smile never faltered. Much fun was yet to be had.

As Hakai breezed through his first round with ease, Tōga's auburn eyes turned to appraise his next opponent. The dragon slayer could sense the night was about to get interesting. With the three competitors ready for round two, Hakai addressed them, outlining the rules for what was to come. But not before adding a surprise twist. Tōga's nose twitched, catching an all too familiar scent - the tang of magic in use. He couldn't quite place its origin, but knew Hakai was manipulating more than drinks. As auburn eyes searched for the source, coins and cups began to sway and slide across the table. An invisible wind swirled through the tavern, bending to Hakai's will. Tōga grinned, intrigued by this new development. The magical manipulation was invisible to the eye, but he could feel its playful energy. Hakai was putting on quite the show. Leaning back in his chair, Tōga waited eagerly for the games to continue, excited to see what surprises round two would bring. The night was getting wild, and the dragon slayer was just getting started.

"Cool! I didn’t know you had wind magic,” Tōga exclaimed as the coins danced across the table, buoyed by invisible winds. He grinned widely at Hakai, genuinely impressed by the subtle wind magic being used to spice up their drinking game.

Tōga was itching to join in the magical fun himself, though he knew his own fiery talents were far too destructive for these close quarters. One errant ember could easily send the whole tavern up in flames. No, the playful tug of Hakai's wind magic was far better suited to liven up their game. Leaning back, Tōga watched the cups and coins dance and spin, relishing this new development. Though unable to directly participate, the dragon slayer was thrilled to see magic introduced to their night's revelries. Hakai had a real flair for mischief that Tōga could appreciate. Their game just got a lot more interesting.

Tōga rubbed his coin between nimble fingers as he listened intently to the new rules, auburn eyes fixing on one of Tamás' cups. "Fortune favors the bold," he grinned, then flicked his wrist to send the coin sailing through the air.

It spiraled towards its target, but at the last moment a playful gust brushed against it. Tōga watched as Hakai's wind magic ever-so-slightly altered the coin's path, sending it wide of the mark. "Ah, tricky, tricky!" Tōga laughed, impressed by the subtle magical misdirection. The coin glanced off the table's edge, scattering away unsuccessful but never hitting its intended cup. Tōga didn't mind the failure - it made things far more interesting. He lived for excitement and unpredictable fun. With magic now interwoven into their drinking game, the night was becoming deliciously unpredictable.

"Damn!" Tōga exclaimed as his coin went wide, sealing his drinking fate for the round. But the dragon slayer was no stranger to defeat, nor one to shy away from consequences. With an eager grin, he grabbed his mug and drank deep, the rich ale sliding down easily. Tōga relished the flavors dancing across his tongue, closing his eyes in momentary bliss. A contented sigh escaped him as he drained his drink to its dregs. Slamming down the empty mug, Tōga let out a satisfied belch. The loss mattered little to him - it was all part of the spirited fun. If anything, the punishment of more drink only stirred his fiery spirit. He was born for revelry and competition.

Tamás Horvath
He observed as the 2nd round was about to begin, but this time there was a twist, an introduction of wind magic. He found it curious. The technique of the spell reminded him of his icy friend. It made him wonder if they were the same. They had traits, Toga even showed some traits. But he didnt want to assume, instead he focused on the game.

Toga used his own toss, but the wind magic threw the coin away from its target. Tamas observed how it all happened as he thought of a technique for his own coin toss. So once his turn came, he would repeat Toga's proverb, but in its original archaic fiorian sentence "Audentis fortuna iuvat." he really was a traditionalist, but fortune does favour the bold.

And with a more careful and calculated coin toss, now that he had a feel of it, he was able to toss it to its target. The wind current actually helping it stick the landing.
He felt satisfied by it.


(OOC: RNJeezus blessed me finally. But now I wonder if I had to drink or Toga. If anything is misunderstood feel free to correct me)

Hakai
Hakai's brief display of magic seemed to captivate his fellow competitors, generating excitement among them. The gasps from the onlookers indicated that Hakai had successfully grabbed the attention of the curious crowd and lived up to their expectations. Hakai pondered whether Toga and Tamas had discerned the nature of his original magical power. Those with experience might be able to identify it upon closer examination and contemplation. Hakai found himself increasingly intrigued by the magical abilities of his peers, although requesting them to demonstrate their magic in this setting seemed excessive, given that not all types of magic were suitable for the game night. Hakai simply smiled when Toga acknowledged his wind magic, saying, "Yes, thankfully it's suitable for the game!"

The game's difficulty increased with the introduction of Hakai's magic. Fortune indeed favored the bold in this scenario, and luck played a crucial role. As Toga took his turn, Hakai controlled his magic to ensure stability, allowing others similar opportunities. Random variables were unwelcome at the table. Toga faced challenges, with the wind altering the coin's trajectory. Despite the hurdles, Toga displayed resilience, prompting Hakai to applaud and commend, "Well played, sir Toga!" As the turn passed to Tamas, he successfully hit the target precisely. Hakai praised, "You're the best, sir Tamas!" The sound of wind whispered amidst his applause as Hakai continued to manipulate the coin in his hand, preparing for his turn.

With a deliberate flick, Hakai sent the coin toward his intended target on the left. However, the wind's influence caused the coin to reset its position, returning to its starting point. The coin fell into one of Hakai's glasses, prompting him to exclaim, "Oh, my drink!" With a grin, he downed the contents in one shot. Despite his initial satisfaction, Hakai suddenly felt nauseous, unsure of the cause. Though he knew he was more capable than this, he felt out of sorts. Was the impact of his previous journey affecting his stamina and mental state? The pressure built up, and Hakai, swaying, finally fell headfirst onto the table. His drinks spilled, leaving 90 percent of their contents untouched. The magic, now unstable, changed its pattern, alternating between clockwise and anti-clockwise. The strength varied, making the final match between Toga and Tamas more challenging. Surprisingly, the magic persisted, as Hakai hadn't completely disabled it—instead, he was just unable to maintain control. It created an unpredictable, almost deathmatch-like scenario between Toga and Tamas.

( OOC: Fortunately, I reached the necessary word count for A-rank, the limit I can take. I have to leave the thread, to give you guys more space to roleplay hopefully. I did the coin flip and decided to take the loss here! Thanks guys! Fortunes favor the bold, fingers crossed!)

( OOC: Well, we have 4 glasses near us, placed in front of each of us. So, it's like I have 4 glass, Toga's 4, and Tamas's 4. We can either aim it to our own glasses (the 4 in front of us, directly placed under your chin/in front of your chest) OR aim it to other 4 glasses on the left (the one that seat on your left's) or other 4 glasses on the right (the one that seat on your right's). Hopefully you guys get what I mean, sorry if it wasn't clear enough xd )

Toga
Hakai waved his hand and conjured a gust of wind, whisking the coin through the air with deft magical control. But Tōga was unperturbed by his friend's sorcery. The dragon slayer lived for drinking games, and a bit of magical aid made things all the more interesting. Though Hakai's wind-guided coin hit the target cup this round, Tōga didn't mind losing to Tamás' skill. Watching his drinking buddy triumph was entertainment enough for now. The night was still young, and Tōga was sure luck would swing his way again soon. For the moment, he leaned back contentedly, excited to see what creative use of magic Hakai might conjure next.

Tōga's auburn eyes lit up as he watched Hakai prepare for the next round of their magical drinking game. With a flick of his wrist, Hakai sent the coin dancing into the air, letting his wind magic buffet it randomly to keep things exciting. Tōga watched, enraptured, as the coin tumbled through Hakai's conjured gusts. But a playful zephyr knocked it off course, missing the cup entirely. Hakai grimaced as he reached for his drink in penalty.

Then the real fun began. Hakai's drunken enthusiasm got the better of him, and he whipped up a raging magical maelstrom inside the tavern. "Whooa!" Tōga shouted gleefully, sitting amidst the eye of the storm as it whipped around him. He guzzled his mead, ale, and wine, thrilled by his friend's chaotic sorcery. Hakai stumbled away, leaving a bemused Tamás to restore order while Tōga enjoyed the magical mayhem. Dizzy with drink and excitement, the dragon slayer grinned - this was exactly the unrestrained, magical fun he'd hoped for tonight.

“Did he just up and leave? Oh well, it was fun!” Tōga laughed.

Tamás Horvath
He tried for a one more coin toss, which didnt go to his favour. He shrugged it off and called it quits on the game and just enjoyed his drink. Hakai would leave, but the wind magic did not. The Guild Master was off duty, very much so, so it wasnt his obligation to restore order. He merely took his helm and returned it to its rightful place

He looked at Toga who had tons of fun. The Knight nodded as he looked at him, but took the time to enjoy the break. He noticed that Toga asked if Hakai just left. And the man nodded "Indeed he did. The games were enjoyable" but not too entertaining for him. "Is there anything you want to do?" the way Toga spoke, sounded like he was not going anywhere anytime soon. Tamas was a bit 50-50 should he leave or stay. He was fine with either choice

#20Toga 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Mon Nov 13, 2023 8:30 pm

Toga
Tamás' question cut through the din of the magical spectacle taking place nearby, catching Tōga's attention. As the winds died down, the dragon slayer leaned back in his chair, taking a swig of ale while surveying the table scattered with empty shot glasses and loose coins - remnants of their last drinking game. "Anything I want to do?" The words echoed in Tōga's mind as he pondered them, the raucous tavern fading into background noise. Though relaxed in posture, his sharp gaze was focused entirely on his companion across the table, awaiting whatever bold proposal or half-baked scheme Tamás would suggest next on this adventure-filled night.

"I have no idea," Tōga admitted plainly, taking another sip of ale as he contemplated their next move. With Hakai absent, a palpable void lingered where his boisterous spirit once guided their adventures. Tōga was unsure if he could summon the same creative spark to fill the lull. His auburn eyes followed Tamás absently as he flicked another coin into an empty shot glass, completing the series of feats that would have earned him a victory had their game continued. But their drinking contest had long been forgotten amidst the tavern's swelling chaos. Now, directionless in the wake of Hakai's departure, Tōga racked his mind for inspiration. Tamás possessed an inventiveness he lacked, conjuring wild schemes at will. Perhaps his friend held the answer, if Tōga could supply the question to ignite his imagination. As Tamás met his gaze expectantly, Tōga felt the pressure to spark their next exploit. But no brilliant ideas came, the buzzing tavern air thick with uncertainty.

"Let's drink and figure it out together!" Tōga proclaimed, hoisting his mug towards Tamás in an enthusiastic toast. He expected the satisfying clink of their wooden tankards colliding in agreement of his brilliant plan . Tōga tilted his head and downed the rest of his ale in hearty gulps, adamant on following through whether his friend joined or not. Foam dribbled down his chin as he slammed the empty mug onto the table with a thud and a satisfied sigh. Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Tōga's eyes glinted with alcohol-fueled inspiration. "Come on, don't leave me drinking alone! The day is young and so are we! Another round will stir our adventurous spirits, you'll see!" He jabbed a finger at Tamás' still full mug, encouraging him to catch up.

“That’s amazing!”

"Indeed" he said as he also hoisted his mug, ready for a toast. One clink later, the two would drink to their hearts content. After a good swig of the drink and emptying the mug, Toga spoke how it felt amazing. But Tamas replied in archaic fiorian "sis felix, nemo fere videt citra me" the drinks were sorta getting him drunk and thus causing him to mix up the languages. Whether it is normal or archaic fiorian mattered little to him since he knew both. But the idea that someone else didnt know the older language didnt cross his mind. He was just enjoying the reverly and drinking. As one gets more intoxicated, words begin to slur and languages begin to mix as your speech is not so clear anymore. To knight merely wished to enjoy himself, so he gestured towards some of his people to play more music

#22Toga 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Mon Nov 13, 2023 11:04 pm

Toga
Tōga cocked his head quizzically as Tamás chattered away in an unfamiliar tongue, punctuating his words with hearty swigs of ale and mead. Blinking once, then twice, Tōga remained silent, hoping his puzzled expression would convey to Tamás that his words were lost in translation. Though no fool, Tōga was well aware there were countless languages and dialects across the world that lay beyond his ken. But he saw a golden opportunity in this moment - what better way to broaden his horizons than to learn of distant lands and cultures over brimming mugs in convivial company? As Tamás prattled on melodiously in his exotic dialect, Tōga listened intently, determined to soak up this impromptu lesson in linguistics and bridge the divide between them, one friendly drink at a time.

Tōga let out a bemused laugh, flashing his sharp canines in a toothy grin. "Come again, friend?" he chuckled, raising a hand to beckon the waiter for another round. As Tamás continued his lively soliloquy in that lyrical foreign tongue, Tōga's pointed fangs glinted in the lantern light, smiling throughout Though the words evaded his understanding, Tōga found himself captivated by the musical lilt and cadence of Tamás' speech.

“You feelin’ it already?” Tōga grinned as Tamás took another hearty swig, eyeing his newfound drinking buddy with amusement. Perhaps it was the melodious foreign tongue that gave rise to the notion, but Tōga couldn't help wondering if Tamás was already feeling the effects of their spirited libations. Admirable, in a way, that zeal for revelry and camaraderie, even if it outpaced one's constitution. Tōga had always favored folks who didn't take themselves too seriously and knew how to have a good time. Tamás seemed cut from that cloth - passionate, lively, lost in animated chatter, even if the meaning escaped Tōga's grasp. But no matter; the language of friendship requites no translation. As the day wore on, Tōga's appreciation for his effusive new companion grew. The drinks kept flowing, their laughter and warmth bridging any divide between two strangers from distant lands. In this moment, nothing else mattered but the joy of fast friendship.

Tamás Horvath
"Never you mind dear friend. Let us enjoy ourselves" he already forgot what he said and just wanted to focus on fun, joy and merriment. The reverly. When Toga asked him if he felt it already, Tamas told him "Already? No no, you misunderstand.. I have been going at this for a while. It is finally getting to me." he has not been drunk in a while, so the booze is finally getting to him. He had been drinking for longer than Toga even saw him, so he was surprised he lasted this much. It was nice to just let go and have fun, usually he was so stringent and uptight and now he finally relaxes.

It was always pleasant to meet a new face who knows how to relax and enjoy themselves. The Guild Master would use this opportunity to enjoy his vacation and drink away. Because he knew when he returns home, he would not have this luxury

#24Toga 

Drinking Festivities (Open) Empty Wed Nov 22, 2023 3:11 pm

Toga
“Well cheers to drinking more!”

Tōga prided himself on his ability to accurately assess any situation, but even he could be fallible at times. When he and Hakai first arrived at the tavern and spotted Tamas, already red-faced and merry, Tōga naturally assumed the brown-haired man had only just begun indulging for the evening. However, as they drew nearer, the true extent of Tamas' revelries became apparent. The table before him was littered with empty mugs and glasses, hinting at hours of dedicated drinking before their arrival. Tōga mentally chided himself for jumping to conclusions as Tamas, well into his cups by this point, greeted them exuberantly. Though caught off guard, Tōga took it in stride, settling himself at the table as a fresh round was brought over, determined to catch up properly with his old friend despite the head start.

Tōga waved the barmaid over, intent on catching up to Tamas' advanced level of revelry. He had no desire to be the sole sober soul trying to make conversation. No, drinking had been bringing people together to bond and make merry since the dawn of civilization itself. The tavern's timbered walls had borne witness to countless nights like this over the years - friends reuniting over brimming tankards, tales told and jokes shared as tongues were loosened by the spirits. Strangers even became compatriots before last call. Tonight would be no different. As the drinks continued flowing, Tōga felt confident interesting discourses and newfound common grounds awaited them. For now, matching Tamas drink for drink was the priority at hand, and Tōga signaled for two more ales, eager to chase away any hint of sobriety left.

Grinning broadly, Tōga enthusiastically clinked his frothing mug against Tamas' with a dull thud, foamy ale slopping over their hands. Though foreigners on Stellan soil, in this moment, heritage mattered little - the drinks, laughter and camaraderie crossing all cultural bounds. During his time here, Tōga had developed an appreciation for these people, their lust for life and vibrant rituals like the iconic Day of the Dead festival. Wherever you journeyed, be it distant shores or just down the road, the inn or tavern waited to welcome all who entered. These homely havens held the power to transform strangers into kindred spirits, binding them in fellowship over brimming glasses and raucous storytelling late into the night. Here, differences dissolved until only the shared mirth, ringing in stereo from their table, remained. Another round was ordered amidst their merriment.

Tōga tipped his head back, eagerly swallowing the smooth, cool contents of his mug in a single quaff. He could feel the crisp ale spilling down his throat, a familiar path for the libation. As it trickled further, a blossoming warmth trailed behind, defrosting his core before unleashing tendrils of heat to unwind his limbs. Tōga exhaled deeply, a satisfying breath that seemed to emerge from his very soul. He could not recall the last time he felt so content and at ease. Perhaps it was the drink relaxing his spirit, or reconnecting with his trusted friend in such merry environs. Whatever the reason, a bone-deep tranquility infused his body in that moment. Smiling softly to himself, Tōga set his empty mug on the weathered tabletop and gestured for yet another round to perpetuate this perfect, peaceful interlude with his comrade.

"May our journeys bring us back together again soon, my friend," Tōga proclaimed, raising his freshly filled ale in salutation, "but until then, let the drinks flow freely!" With an echoing laugh, he downed a hearty swig, the bitter liquid tracing its familiar path to kindle an inner glow. Tamas heartily concurred, matching him sip for sip as the night wore on in congenial companionship. The warmth creeping into Tōga's cheeks soon mirrored the flushed visage of his drinking mate as tales were traded and jokes flew as rapidly as refills across their table. Hours melted away in easy camaraderie and bellowing mirth amidst the tavern's din. By the time the first fragile rays of dawn filtered through the establishment's smudged windows, Tōga felt as though he had known Tamas his whole life. Their chance meeting fostered by fortune had blossomed into a fast friendship, one Tōga knew would endure over many roads yet traveled.
