Heroes, Inc. Day 3+, Voyage to Sarkon

"Besides, it's really fun to insult your enemy's mother in their own language, while you bash them over the head with a mace. One of the reasons why I learned Abyssal and Infernal. You wouldn't believe what a demon considers insulting," she said, grinning at Timmy, knowing he'll take the bait.

"I'm sure you can be very creative but perhaps it is best I don't know what you are saying. I would hate to think of you as anything other than a sweet, innocent, young lady," he partially bows hiding a smirk.

"Ladies, if you will excuse me I will leave you to your debate about the various atributes of Anarcy. I will escort young Yolan to the Lt. and help with the transferral of cargo. Perhaps later when we are under sail I might be persuaded to pick up this conversation. The Purple Hills of Tethyr aren't called Purple because they are famous for their plums," he concludes with a wink.

With that he puts a hand on Yolan's shoulder and points him toward the stairs.

"Sweet and innocent?" she said with a raised eyebrow and a mock-quizzical look on her face. "Now all we have to do is teach you how to say it in Infernal to a demon while you stick him with your nifty new sword."

Maggie makes one final attempt to get Timrin to stay, looking pouty and vulnerable: "At least keep us company. Wouldn't you feel just a little guilty if something bad happened to some poor drunken fool studying chaos and you were too busy messing with rigging topside. C'mon great protector, protect! Though if you want to join in the fun, of course, go ahead."

Regardless of Timrin's response, she opens a few bottles and says: "First the tasting. Then, the alphabet. Once I explain it, you'll have to read parts of the labels. If you get it right, I take a drink. If you get it wrong, you all do. By the time we're done, you'll all know the alphabet...or perhaps be lying on the floor..(shrugs) either works.

"Then I think we'll make sure to get half of them wrong," she chuckles and then gets down to the serious business of sampling err learning the alphabet.

"Let the games begin"

The "lesson" runs a short time before the quizzing starts, and the questions get harder and harder. Since Maggie drinks every time either of you get somthing right, the game is somewhat stacked against her. It ends with Maggie, wobling and squinting, saying "Oooh-kay, Maggie drunk, leshon over...I'm jusht gunna resht for now." Then she lies back in her chair. The rest of you giggle uncontrolably at that. One more drink and you'd both be where she is. You do, however, feel an irresistable urge to cause some fun havoc. (...and get a -4 penalty to everything)

Alethia stands up unsteadily. "I... Am... Bored." she importantly. "How about the three of you?" she looks at Dyria and bursts into uncontrollable giggles as a wicked thought comes into her mind.

"Hay, lets grab ever bit of clothing we can get our hands onto and run them up the mast. I think these demons ought to have something good." she says with a grin and a giggle. It sounded fun. "On second thought, let's use Maggie's clothes! She won't need them!"

 

[Falkus]

Dyria stood up, somewhat unsteadily, and braced herself on the wall while giggling. "Can't think of a reason not to," she said, smiling broadly. "Heheh, it's been, what is it, comes after months, before decades, since I've dranken like this," she added, as she swayed on her feet.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando sits in the corner in silent meditation, keeping an eye on the proceedings.

"I think it is time to introduce Maggie's knickers to the rest of the crew," Alethia said slowly and hicccuped, which sent her into a round of giggles.

 

[Falkus]

Laughing, Dyria made a few false starts, staggered over to Maggie, and clumisly knelt down beside her.
