[alas, there is way too much cheese in the common room.

which means sqx is absolutely absconding with some bottles of booze (she'll put them back later) and relocating to (rolls dice) the rec room, settling in one of the bean-bag chairs and sipping at some alcohol. when she sees eleanor, she waves her over.]

Care to join me? I'd say we've got to stop meeting like this, but I don't see a problem with it, personally.

[messybench]

Well, the booze isn't poisoned or drugged up or anything, so I'd say we should keep meeting like this, actually.

[ eleanor settles down nearby ]

You sharing?

[shiftingwinds]

Drinks are meant to be shared.

[with a smile, sqx pours her a glass and passes it over!]

[messybench]

You know, I think you're one of my top three people here. [ holds up glass for a toast! ]

I'm Eleanor.

[shiftingwinds]

[toasts her in return! hell yeah, top three.]

Shi Qingxuan. It's a pleasure, Eleanor.

[messybench]

[ glug glug ]

You too, babe.

So, what's your story?

[shiftingwinds]

My story?

[she's 557 years old, don't ask her that, she'll talk for eons]

[messybench]

Yeah, like, where did you come from, what did you do, how'd you get so hot, etc? Lay it on me, girl.

[ listen shes hot enough that eleanor will pay attention when she talks ]

[shiftingwinds]

It's a centuries-long story, Eleanor!

[messybench]

Well, we've got plenty of time to kill. [ this comment did not age well ] Gimme the highlights!

[shiftingwinds]

[ohhh it sure did not]

Well, I ascended to godhood and became the god of the winds. I imagine that helps with my appearance.

[messybench]

How does that work? I mean, I'd love to ascend to godhood and I've got the booty for it.

[shiftingwinds]

[oh, confident! sqx likes that.]

Well, the circumstances vary from ascension to ascension.

[messybench]

Well, as one hottie from another, you can set me up, right?

And I gotta say, I'm dying to know this story now.

[shiftingwinds]

I can put in a good word for you.

[(laughs in tgcf) anyway.]

In my case, I don't remember much about it - I was a bit drunk when it happened.

[messybench]

I'm holding you to that.

[ i'm canonblind but this seems hilarious ]

Really my kinda gal. But tell me more.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, there's not much to say. It was some time after I'd knocked out a crook by pouring wine on him.

[messybench]

Kinda seems like a waste of good wine, but I continue to dig your style.

[shiftingwinds]

He was harassing people and left them alone after that, so I wouldn't call it a waste, although normally I'd agree with you.

[messybench]

Oh, no, definitely. That's hot. I would have drank all the wine and smashed the bottle of his head, though. I'm not that classy.

[shiftingwinds]

That would certainly have been a sight to see!

[messybench]

So, what, shutting up some dirtbag is all you need to ascend to godhood? There must have been like, trials or something.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha, that's not all there is to it. Sometimes it's about the heavens seeing your potential; other times it's through cultivating until you reach a sufficient level of power.

But after ascension, gods go through heavenly calamities from time to time. They'll either increase their powers through them, or...

[...]

...well. The exact result would depend on the severity.

[messybench]

Cultivating... power? Like.. magic?

[ this sounds like a sex thing ]

Kinda seems like you're trying to say it actually kinda sucks, but you're being polite about it.

[shiftingwinds]

Spiritual power.

[...]

What? No, it doesn't... "suck" at all. I enjoy being a god. There are just certain responsibilities that come with it - it's like a job, really.
