Comments

Never have I ever made tea. Really.

[leatherdaddy]

[ This one comes with a clap on the back right to Eichi. Maybe don't take more than a small sip, don't want you dropping out of the game early. ]

[bone_idle]

[ Sans rolls his eye lights, but has yet to touch his drink. Grinning -- as skeletons seem to do so effortlessly-- he drones dryly: ]

Should'a known the muscles were just for show. Howzabout something a little more exciting next round, huh?

[finethanks]

[ The clap to his back gets a flinch of surprise, mostly since he's not used to it, and then he's lifting his drink to his lips with a sideways glance at Gladio. ]

I wonder what I did to be targeted like this? It's strange if anyone hasn't made tea, you know. [ Then, he drinks!!

And immediately has a tiny coughing fit. He's fine, he's not used to this. ]

[eyeforaneye]

Agreed. [ On at least this one thing, anyway, as he takes a sip of his own drink. ]

... this stuff is disgusting.

[leatherdaddy]

Give it a few more rounds, Sassy. You'll get used to it.

[ Gladio scrubs at the back of his head, having the grace at least to look somewhat ashamed. ]

Hey, it's a first for me. Hmm... what's a good one...

[finethanks]

[ Give him a moment, he's recovering... ]

It certainly lacks any refined taste, doesn't it? Is this what they call "adulthood?" It's even worse than what they served at those flower dances. But I suppose alcohol is a poison...

Ahh, my face feels hot. [ immediately, yes ]

[eyeforaneye]

You're expecting refinement from the wrong man.

[ Here he just looks at Gladio. ]

[leatherdaddy]

[ THIS FACE. ]

You wanna swing that by me again, Sassy?

[eyeforaneye]

You've never made tea before.

Swing it by yourself.

[liquidate]

(yes. die.

laughing to himself...)

[finethanks]

[ FUCK OFF HES IGNORING THE LAUGHING GOOEYGETSU ]

[liquidate]

Tea?! How sheltered are you?!

(pointing.)

To think we're taking lessons from you frightens me! It does!

[bone_idle]

You gonna let this guy challenge the quali-tea of your education, buddy?

Don't think Oolong be for this job if you take that lyin' down.

[ stop ]

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio very calmly puts his massive hand out and

right over San's face. Shhhhh. No. ]

Do I look like the type of guy who'd do tea ceremonies? I'm a Shield, making tea ain't exactly part of the job description.

[bone_idle]

[ Meanwhile, Sans just pulls Gladio's hand off his face. Keep your big meat hooks to yourself, big guy. ]

[hellshot]

[He's not drinking, but--]

Coffee's superior anyway.

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio flashes a thumbs up. With the cup in his hand, so he's going to spill some of what's inside. Go him. ]

If it ain't Death himself. Reaper, you wanna join in?

[hellshot]

You'll find having a face like mine makes drinking difficult.

[stares at him a moment, then...]

You got some on your shirt. [Helpful]

1/3

[leatherdaddy]

[ Good point. ]

Well, hang on -- I got a straw around here somewhere...

[leatherdaddy]

[ On his shirt? Where...

Oh. Well, this just won't do. ]

3/3 YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio reaches down to his sides and starts yanking on his tank top, stripping it off and throwing it to the side. There. Problem solved!

Also shirtless. ]

Thanks, partner!

1/2 DSKS;DFSDF I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

[hellshot]

[.....]

[hellshot]

[WHY DOES HE SURROUND HIMSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO EXCEL IN TAKING THEIR CLOTHES OFF. this is becoming a serious problem]

Don't.

Mention it.

...

[That's too many abs for a man who isn't a super soldier.]

[leatherdaddy]

[ Listen, this is Rugged Attire, he's got equipped! It's a perfectly viable armor set for him! All that extra mobility means he can really put his back into every swing!

...Also it might be for this very reaction that is the reason the universe conspires against him to break Reaper's steely, prickly exterior by any means necessary. ]

Hey, Reaper - been meanin' to ask. What's with the face guard? Is it protection or just for show?

[hellshot]

[Rugged attire. SURE. He turns his head to give Gladio a look when the age-old question was asked.

If he wasn't so used to people asking about his mask, he might get irritated with the other. Lucky for you, Gladio.]

Neither.

It's to cover up something no-one needs to see.

[Edgy.]
