Characters: Aleph and you!
Setting: Floor 1, Floor 62, Floor 86
Format: Actionspam
Summary: Aleph shares a little wine that will knock the unsuspecting out. He heads up to the beach, and from there to the fairy ring floor where he has a "little" problem.
Warnings: Drinking, by minors if you.. count Aleph as a minor. Will update to include other things if they occur.

[Floor 1]
[There was a rather large bottle of wine on the table.

On close inspection, it would be labeled with simply 'Dionysus' on one side of the label. Anyone paying any attention to it would get Aleph to smile and say:]

If you promise to drink responsibly, I'll let you have some.

[Warning: alcohol made by the god of wine is delicious, but severely intoxicating.]

[Floor 62]
[It's good to be on the beach when it's warm...

Don't mind Aleph's deposited top half of his armor. It was 70 degrees and it felt great to just stretch out on the beach there.]

[Floor 86]
[Maybe he'd drank too much of the wine. There was certainly a sway in his step when he was proceeding up the stairs, enough that he stepped off onto this floor in particular.

Right into a ring of mushrooms. Should they even be allowed to grow that close to the stairs? Either way, it was too late to think of that now, as a small group of fairies appeared and surrounded him.]

What a silly man!

Coming into our ring, how mean!

[Right, he could handle this, he negotiated with spirits for a living... He started to speak.] It was an accident-

Did he bring iron into our ring?

Scary, scary, we'll have to make sure he doesn't use it!

[Well crap.

The next thing Aleph saw was a swirl of lights, and then... everything suddenly looked a whole lot bigger.

Those who enter this floor after Aleph will notice that he's about the size of somebody's hand - that is, if they look before they step onto it.]

Comments

[alephbet]

It's only fair! [Never relenting. Never.]

[technologic]

N-nooo-! [Just gonna keep giggling and trying to bat his hands away.] O-okay, ehehe, I-I'm sorry!

[alephbet]

[Finally he relents.]

You deserved that, you know.

[technologic]

[April waits for her giggles to die down first before she pushes herself up, now giving him a sheepish smile.]

I-I-I know. I-is a sorry e-enough, though?

[alephbet]

For you, I think it's enough. Anyone else would get serious vengeance for tickling.

[technologic]

'Serious vengeance'?

[alephbet]

...It doesn't sound intimidating when I say it like that, does it?

[technologic]

It sorta reminds me of something the villains in those comic books would say. So yeah, it... kinda doesn't.

[alephbet]

How about, um, 'mighty wrath'?

[technologic]

[Pause. And then she starts to giggle again.] N-nope, that doesn't work either.

[alephbet]

"If you tickle me I will hit you fairly hard"? Come on.

[technologic]

See, that works better. Something like 'mighty wrath' could have been confused for something else.

[alephbet]

What would it be confused for?

[technologic]

Like... Some sort of mighty tickle attack or something.

[alephbet]

I don't have any of those.

[technologic]

Hmm... Well, you could always make one, just in case.

[alephbet]

How do you make a special tickling attack?

[technologic]

I'm... not sure, exactly. [She tilts her head as she thinks about this.] Maybe you suddenly tackle someone and start tickling them?

[alephbet]

I like the times when I tackle hug you better.

[technologic]

[She wasn't expecting that and just blinks at him in surprise.] H-huh?

[alephbet]

[Tackle hug.

Don't even act like you weren't expecting it.]

[technologic]

[She's just gonna flop over onto the sand from the tackle hug, though she hugs him back.] ... W-w-what prompted that?

[alephbet]

Nothing in particular.

[technologic]

[Blink. And then she giggles quietly.] S-so you just felt like tackle hugging me?

[alephbet]

Sometimes I do that.
