Flin and mint tea.

From:

h2no

what is flin? also: you wanna come get fucked up with?

From:

fireandhoney

It's an imported Imperial wine. I don't think it's available in this world.

[Archie didn't say the alcohol had to be available.]

I could use a drink, sure.

From:

h2no

[iT WAS IMPLIED]

aw what about stuff here? im in heropa btw

From:

fireandhoney

[Yes it was, but sometimes Finn feels like being a dick.]

Local stuff, I'd say peppermint schnapps with mint or berry tea.

From:

h2no

awesome i have all of that or well my room mate does he wont mind me borrowing it doors open ill get a brew on

From:

fireandhoney

See you there.

[Finn shows up at Archie's place soon enough, knocking on the door to announce his presence before entering, following the smell of the tea.]

Hope you don't mind, I brought biscuits.

[Finn holds up a box of store-bought cookies.]

From:

h2no

[as promised, the door is open. two wolfhound looking dogs pad up to finn, sniffing him curiously, tails wagging. if he seems uncomfortable or not interested, they're well trained enough to leave him alone, fortunately.

archie is in the kitchen -- an open room that's connected to the living room. he waves.]

Yo!

From:

fireandhoney

[Finn pets the dogs, scratching them behind the ears. They look similar to the dogs you see in Skyrim.

He comes into the kitchen, setting the biscuits on the table for now.]

So how have you been?

From:

h2no

Thanks for the food!

[he wants to say i'm drinking with a near stranger, but doesn't.]

Alright. You? I know we only talked once-- I hope this isn't too... uh. Sudden?

From:

fireandhoney

Nah. You're also friends with Maxwell, and he and I are friends, so as far as I'm concerned, you're alright.

[Getting possessed and causing that stuff with the plants aside.]

From:

h2no

Oh!

[he chirps, quite happy at that. it takes a few minutes, but he comes over with a teapot in one hand and a bottle of schapps in the other. there's some cups already on the table.]

I didn't know you knew Maxwell... how'd you meet?

From:

fireandhoney

We met over the network.

[Finn claims one of the cups, running his finger over the rim idly.]

He invited me over to tea, and we talked about dragons and shared sketch book drawings.

From:

h2no

That's cool. Ya both got dragons back home?

[he just... pours a bunch of the schnapps in his cup, before adding a tiny splash of tea.]

From:

fireandhoney

Sure seems that way. Except his world's dragons aren't as intelligent as the ones from my world.

[Finn does the opposite, pouring a generous amount of tea into his cup and then pouring just a dash of schnapps.]

From:

h2no

Huh. Didn't think they'd have much variety... then again there's dragon types in my world too.

[he rubs his beard, before downing the cup and starting to pour another.]

What's your world like?

From:

fireandhoney

It's primitive compared to this, but we get by with magic.

[Finn sips his drink, gasping a little as the alcohol burns down his throat.]

There's ancient ruins everywhere, belonging to different civilizations, all manner of monsters, and of course, non-human races.

From:

h2no

Primitive in what way?

[he puts the cup back, rubbing his beard.]

That's pretty cool. How come they're so common? I thought ancient ruins were super rare.

From:

fireandhoney

For starters, we still use horse-drawn carriages, there's no TV or radio, blacksmithing and jewelry smithing is a common profession, and I thought the device was a magic mirror at first.

[Finn pours himself a little more of the tea, diluting the alcohol even more.]

The civilizations that made those ruins were vast. Very vast.

h2no

Not entirely inaccurate.

[he takes another gulp.]

Y'know, I have to wonder if societies with magic are more advanced than ones with technology. It's basically the same, right?

From:

fireandhoney

Interesting thought.

[Another sip for himself as well.]

I mean, we have magic and potions in place of medicine, and magic can be used to help building construction. Give us a few years, and we could very well invent the magical equivalent of the telephone or moving picture.
