towerofanimus | To Drown Out

Characters: Enoch never intended it but, everyone who's up for drinking!
Setting: Cafeteria, throughout the day (sorry team indigo)
Format: Party, do what you want!
Summary: With Riki being generous with the food again, Enoch decides to see, first, if he can still get drunk at all, and second, if being drunk will help keep his new headmate quiet. A (not-so-) surprising amount of people are likely to be interested in drinking with him.
Warnings: Drunken shenanigans. Possible angst because he might actually talk about Eleven under the influence. Might also talk about gory details of the meeting with Ruana. Did I say drunken shenanigans? I think I need to say that again.

*Much like just before the glamour failure, Enoch sits with several bottles of red wine from the kitchen stock. Unlike then, he has no extra glasses out to share with. He is not drinking to a plunge into the unknown. He is drinking to drown things. Mostly, the voice screaming in his head.

But nothing really changes the fact that any modern wine is of much higher quality than anything his time could produce, and he's savoring its flavor too, in long sips. It's almost a distraction, itself.

Speaking of distractions, he certainly won't object to any company, and if it turns into a larger gathering he may get so caught up in it he'll forget how much he's had.

And so might you. Care to grab a drink for yourself? He won't mind if you ask for some of the wine he has.*

((ooc: Of course you can approach Enoch like any other log, but due to interest expressed this is actually more of a mingle! Start games and contests if you'd like or just hang out and have your characters get drunk or bodyguard or spectate. Please identify new games and contests in the header to make it clearer to people scrolling through! Naturally there can be several threads of the same game, considering this isn't organized at all.

Have fun, and do keep an eye out for monsters...))

[He knows better than to let Nesir anywhere close to being out of his clear line of sight, much less having his back to her, so halts his pace and turns towards her. Ignoring the smirk, and the question, for the time being. Doesn't have to answer that, it's clearly a given.]

Should have expected you to be here.

You do be saying that like it do be being a bad thing. [She glares at him, she hasn't forgiven him, for anything really, but also for seeing her so weak when the shadows surrounded her]

Wherever the alcohol is.

[He holds that glare unflinchingly, not even blinking. Sephiroth has no need for anyone's forgiveness and has much less reason to forgive Nesir either. He'd seen really, how weak she was when he'd caught her on the beach with those shadows - it had only further proved his opinion of her right.

At the time, his own congregation hadn't bothered him. It had changed, but Nesir doesn't need to know that.]

Is that supposed to be being an insult? [Her glare did not lessen either, hatred flickering in her eyes.] Like you do be being in any place to be judging me.

An observation.

[Well founded. In his opinion. She had to have drank a bit already to have even the foolish sense to approach him like this, though alcohol does indeed loosen tongues. They aren't on a powerless floor right now.]

You aren't worth the judgment.

So that do be why you did be sharing your observations about me with Ganondorf? [Her voice was quieter now, but her eyes glinted dangerously] Because I do no be worth judging.

[Woah. Back up. Sephiroth doesn't do social tit-for-tat. If Ganondorf asks an opinion, or his view of events concerning their very violent fallout then he will get exactly that - along with Sephiroth's own, very damning ~~biased~~ personal opinion of her, granted.

He narrows eyes at Nesir, but really he's not all that surprised if his opinions were passed on. The troll-kings trust in this girl is ridiculous, and he's made no secret out of that opinion, either.]

Alright then let me re-phrase that. My judgment of you isn't worth concerning myself with. You are insignificant, to me.

[She shouldn't let him get her so angry, because what should she care about his opinion. He was nothing, just a weirdo with an ego.] Like you do be being any better than me, that do be being the biggest illusion of them all.

[But Sephiroth manages anger so well. It's so much easier to cope with than indifference, this being his challenge of late. The corner of his mouth twitches as he maintains the blank facade.

Nesir is nothing but a glorified adolescent with some skill at knife-fighting and the luck to have caught him in the back. Who for some reason happens to be allied with those he is allied with, for now at least - in the name of 'like-minds'.]

Keep telling yourself that.

I will be, and I will be telling you that too, as many times as it do be taking you to be understanding it.

Whatever suits you.

[Full of spite spat out at her. He has no intention of ever considering Nesir being better than him. Being so similar in state to everyone else kept in the Tower is unacceptable on it's own.]

Why do you even be being here?

Ha, it's a free Tower. At least in these levels.

[Not free at all, he hates that too. But the expression works for this moment.]

You do be having a really messed up idea of freedom.

Within this prison, at least, I go where I want.

Do that be making it easier, to be pretending you do be free.

Not pretending, making sure I don't forget.

[What part of that didn't she understand? Sephiroth won't explain any further. Like so many others she's never going to understand, and neither does he have any desire for her to either.]

I will be free, in time.

[Accepting that he can achieve anything less is unacceptable. Sephiroth doesn't dare turn his back on Nesir but he really doesn't want to be stood still talking to her either.]

[She frowned] Or you will be being dead.

We'll see.

[He didn't do the dying thing on a permanent basis even before he came to the Tower. Sephiroth likes to think it wouldn't be all that different here.]

You do be thinking you do be better than death too, you do no be.

I'd reserve your judgment for when you are able to die and not pass into oblivion.

Why would I be wanting that?

Because then you would be immortal. To beat death, is to completely control your own path.

No one do be being truly free of the gods.

Gods do be doing what they want.

[Purposeful imitation there. ~~not~~Sorry Nesir.]
