[When Zoe arrives at the pool, he's perched above the waterfall like the absolute gremlin he is, twirling her offering in his hand. Is he drunk? Is some of that wine already gone? Judging by the sloshing sound...probably! But anyway, he points the bottle her way.]
Good eye! Really picked a nice year. Not that Beauty keeps anything cheap, but if it had been cheap, you wouldn't have gotten a response. You know, everyone keeps getting me booze. It's the weirdest thing. Like, take me out to dinner first before you try and get me tipsy and vulnerable, am I right? But then, what good is being a god if you can't get day drunk?
[She takes it as he offers, looking at it for a moment before taking a small sip. It's hard not to grimace; she hasn't had wine before, and she's not expecting the taste.]
Oh, you know, rewards. No one else is gonna be able to say "here drink this and I'll give you something". They're all recruitment, murder, subterfuge...I just wanna pal around!
[Indulgence spins his wine glass almost miraculously steady on the tip of a finger.]
What else do you want. Something that doesn't have to do with the competition exactly, buuuuuuut could still be useful. Items are easiest for me.
...Can you give me something that could tell me whether someone is lying? Like, a magic lie detector. [And, after another moment of thought:] It probably wouldn't be fair unless it had, like really limited uses.
[With a snap of his fingers, he holds out to her a pair of fashionable glasses (they can look however you like). There's a slight sheen to the lenses, but it's hard to call them sunglasses, or even describe the effect.]

WEEK 2
Good eye! Really picked a nice year. Not that Beauty keeps anything cheap, but if it had been cheap, you wouldn't have gotten a response. You know, everyone keeps getting me booze. It's the weirdest thing. Like, take me out to dinner first before you try and get me tipsy and vulnerable, am I right? But then, what good is being a god if you can't get day drunk?
[Cool.]
no subject
Well, first off:]
...Are you drunk?
no subject
[He's just, talkative...]
But maybe I should be. Maybe you should be. Drink!
[Suddenly he has two wine glasses clinking together. Is he encouraging underage drinking? Let's not think too hard about it.]
no subject
Does this count as a task?
no subject
Yeah, sure, why not.
[Yeah. Why not.]
no subject
[It’s not hard to see and hear her surprise, but... She shrugs, walking his way.]
Okay. What do I get for it? Also, nice to meet you.
no subject
[He wrenches away the wine's cork and pours a glass for Zoe, offering it her way. Yeah, he's pretty great to meet. Total agreement.]
no subject
Probably something small, right? Let's see...
no subject
[He fills up the other glass for himself, but mostly just swirls it around pretentiously. He is still...wearing a mask, after all.]
no subject
no subject
[RIP]
But out of curiosity, what are you thinking?
no subject
no subject
[No he's not going to poor her more booze this is fine.]
That kinda thing is more up that brat Ambition's alley.
no subject
[INDULGENCE... She takes another sip. Save her.]
What kind of thing would be up your alley, then?
no subject
[Indulgence spins his wine glass almost miraculously steady on the tip of a finger.]
What else do you want. Something that doesn't have to do with the competition exactly, buuuuuuut could still be useful. Items are easiest for me.
no subject
...Can you give me something that could tell me whether someone is lying? Like, a magic lie detector. [And, after another moment of thought:] It probably wouldn't be fair unless it had, like really limited uses.
no subject
[So many dang rules!!!]
no subject
[Hm.]
Could I look at a piece of evidence and see if it’s real or if it’s been faked by someone from Ambition? Again, limited number of times.
no subject
[With a snap of his fingers, he holds out to her a pair of fashionable glasses (they can look however you like). There's a slight sheen to the lenses, but it's hard to call them sunglasses, or even describe the effect.]
It'll only work once, so use it wisely.
no subject
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
