what
you don't want a good bar brawl
they can be fun sometimes

[unvirgin]

Why do I get the feeling that you and I have two very different definitions of the word "fun"?

[ even if she could hold her own if she got swept up in one. ]

[rocinantes]

so, what's your definition of fun then?

( fill him in! )

[unvirgin]

Lots of things. Starting a new art project. Reading in the park. Going to the record store that becomes a karaoke bar a couple nights a week. Hanging out with my friends. The hot pot place has my favorite takeout, hands down.

[ her life is not that thrilling. ]

[rocinantes]

( it was more thrilling than his. )

karaoke?
that's a thing here, huh?

[unvirgin]

Is it not a thing where you're from?

[rocinantes]

it is
just not my thing

can you picture me doing something like that?

[unvirgin]

I can picture you doing the drinking and watching other people.

[rocinantes]

that's about what i'd do.
maybe laugh at anyone who was really bad.

[unvirgin]

Well, no one's ever amazing at it.

Though I think your tolerance for bad singing goes up when your blood alcohol level does.

[rocinantes]

so, what's the appeal?
if you know you're gonna be bad at it, why?

( genuine question. )

[unvirgin]

The answer to that is basically the same. Just drinking enough not to care if you're bad.

[rocinantes]

i would have to drink a lot to do something like that.

a lot.

[unvirgin]

That doesn't sound like a never.

[rocinantes]

if you can get me drunk enough
maybe it'll happen

it's not a never

[unvirgin]

The real trick would be to see if yours truly can get drunk enough.

[ given how ridiculously high her alcohol tolerance is these days. and she'd need more in the way of liquid courage to even attempt it. ]

[rocinantes]

why wouldn't you be able to get drunk enough?

[unvirgin]

[ well, she might as well just come out and say it. ]

Because I might not be fully human anymore.

[rocinantes]

okay

so, what are you, then?

( he's known a few non human...ish people so he's not getting all worked up about this just yet. )

[unvirgin]

I was bit, before I got here. By a werewolf.

[ and apparently it took a little while for the side effects to kick in. ]

[rocinantes]

a werewolf?
really.
those aren't a bunch of fake shit for movies and tv?

[unvirgin]

Believe me, I used to think the same exact thing. And then I found out there's a reason all those legends and fairy tales exist.

[rocinantes]

so, how the hell does it work?

[unvirgin]

Basically? You get bit and then it... changes you. Every full moon, I have to put myself in a room that my friends have fortified and keep warded. I can usually recognize people even after the shift happens, but I'd rather not take the risk of hurting someone I care about.

[rocinantes]

how long are you like that for?
