[Laruna's usual bright and cheerful face appears.]

Hello, darlings, a few things.

I am in need of some taste testers, if anyone is willing. I've got a batch of wine ready to go but as any good food or drink requires, it needs to be tasted before I release it into the wild. Anyone willing to give it a shot?

Chekov, I'll be needing your help in a week or so.

Also, is there a place to give tithes to the deities? First fruits to the gods, and everything, is important.

[She'd looked around and hadn't see anything... And yes, she is saying she wants to give the deities wine.]

[Then, because she hasn't figured out how to use the filters, and probably wouldn't use them even if she knew how...]


Don't forget about our lunch date, Meyer. I'll be waiting for you!

Yeah. I'll be there.

[Thank you for sharing that with everybody, Laruna. He really appreciates it. So much.]

[valentineluke]

If it's a red, count me in.

[What did she do wrong? She smiles at him beautifully.]

Wonderful! I can't wait.

[water_wine_wizard]

It's water, actually.

I'll see you in about an hour.

[He does show up, punctually as always, in about an hour.]

[valentineluke]

'Kool-Aid' in other words?

[water_wine_wizard]

[And she does too. She's dressed up nicely, but not too fancy, and she has a bottle of something under her arm.]

Hello you, handsome.

[water_wine_wizard]

I have no idea what cool aide is, but I assure you that my wine is as potent if not more than anything you can get out of a fruit.

[She may be a bit insulted here.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He has to raise an eyebrow at that. Is she being serious, or is she subtly mocking him?]

Good afternoon.

[He's always in a suit -- today is no different.]

[water_wine_wizard]

[She's serious. Good naturely serious.]

You look good. Did I embarrass you?

[And now she sounds genuinely concerned about this, because it wasn't something she honestly thought about.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

No, it's just not something I'm used to hearing. I thought you might be kidding.

[He's headed towards a table now, pulling out a chair for her before he sits down himself.]

[water_wine_wizard]

[Which is exactly how she expected it to be done.]

Oh, I never joke about those sorts of things. I don't want to hurt your feelings after all... it makes later things more difficult.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He's not going to rise to the bait and ask her what these 'later things' might be. A few times of talking to her has taught him better. Instead, he simply lights a cigarette, and then offers her one.]

[candothat]

I will be more than ready to help.

[And this is none of his business, but since it wasn't filtered...]

You're dating Meyer?

[water_wine_wizard]

[He's no fun.

She looks at the proffered cigarette curiously.]

What is it?

Re: audio;

[water_wine_wizard]

Wonderful! It'll be good to have someone familiar with the product to actually tell me how it is.

[Filters? What are filters?]

We're going on a date. Does that count as dating?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He is, in fact, the antithesis of fun. He looks at her with incredulity. A world without cigarettes? How can this be?]

It's a cigarette. You smoke it. You don't have them where you come from?

[valentineluke]

Red or not, I'm even more interested now in trying it. Not often one can get a 'specialty alcohol' outside of the Underground.

[candothat]

Miss Laruna, I am always more than happy to give you my opinions on vodka.

Does it? I'm surprised, is all. [Meyer seems to money-oriented to waste time with things like dating.]

[water_wine_wizard]

[There's plenty of worlds without them.]

No. We have pipes... but none of those.

[He could be fun.. we're sure of it...]

Re: audio;

[water_wine_wizard]

How come?

[She tricked him.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Well, I guess it's the same basic idea as a pipe.

[Sure, he can be fun. Occasionally.]

audio;

[candothat]

He seems to enjoy working too much.

Re: audio;

[water_wine_wizard]

From what I've seen of him, he does. But that doesn't mean he can't have a bit of fun.

Well, we'll see about it, won't we.

[You can almost grinning evilly at that.]

[water_wine_wizard]

You're more than welcome to try it. The offer is for everyone.
