[absinthe really is so strong i think about how they don't even sell real absinthe in the us and even our version is still so fucjing strong. i think I've only ever had it in a corpse reviver...

But he just raises his shoulders a little!]

Sure, sure! They have whatever else, so why not that? It's not like this place cares about the kind of rules people are used to at home, anyway.

[JUST MANIFESTS A WHOLE BOTTLE OF ABSINTHE FOR THE TABLE.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien just looks at the bottle like.

?

?????? ]

"Is this also made from your hair? Does it even use up your hair? Is it like shedding????"

[voring]

[THE WAY I MEANT LIKE HOW FOOD JUST MANIFESTS ON ITS OWN IN FOOD LOCATIONS but this is funnier so rolls with it]

Like I said, I'm a god! I can make anything! Don't need hair for it.

[Why are the rules of object manifestation so weird why can he make [redacted] and [redacted] but not [redacted]. WHATEVER it's purgatory powers glitch i can do what i want]

[selfconcept]

"Do you sometimes make food for yourself that way?"

[ purgatory glitch is a lifesaver

Hien reaches out to take the bottle and just opens it. Cork? Gone. Screw? Gone. Whatever it was capped with, it's gone now. Hien doesn't give a shit about proper etiquette. He pours some for Obikawa and himself in a glass cup. Are they wine cups? Is this IHOP fancy enough for that?

Regardless, cheers. He holds his glass up. ]

[voring]

Nah, not food, really.

[Thinking about how he had groceries delivered to his mountain house... But he'll reach for a glass! This IHOP can be fancy enough for that. This IHOP can be anything we want it to be.

He'll also hold his glass up and tap it against Hien's.]

You go first, this smells crazy.

[selfconcept]

"Good thing I can't smell things as good as before."

[ He rolls his eyes either way and just knocks back the entire glass. It burns. Jesus. ]

"... Damn."

[voring]

[Just watches him rawdog an entire glass of absinthe like an absolute maniac.]

Wow, you really went for it. Did you taste its angry ghost?

[Takes a little test sip of his and immediately makes a wrinkle nose cat face.]

[selfconcept]

"I didn't taste anything..."

[ He's convinced that he'll be tasteless forever and not in the way his vision occasionally flickered back.

But then he almost snorts at Obikawa's face. ]

[voring]

Has it been coming back every now and then? But even when you were blind, you were blind a lot more than I couldn't hear...

[because SOMEONE keeps saying DIE TO SWEET HIEN WHO HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG. He takes another sip and immediately eats something to chase it.]

Tastes like burning.

[selfconcept]

[ he has done everything wrong ]

"So far, no. But then again, it's not like I eat something constantly."

[ Surprisingly. ]

"Should we call this edible acid?"

[voring]

[takes him out of your demon hands...]

Woah. I guess that's true, though...

[SHOKKU but you really do see way more than you eat even if you're a big eater... His head tilts a little at that though and he just laughs.]

Yeah! It's basically the same thing. I think humans could use this stuff in war, probably.

[selfconcept]

"Humans got more potent stuff for cheap and 'legally', so I doubt it. It's all about them moolah, or something."

[ Money... it's always money..................... ]

[voring]

[IT'S ALWAYS MONEY... He just hums and takes another sip.]

You sound ancient when you talk like that, you know?

[selfconcept]

"Yeah? I'm a fucking fossil."

[ Obikawa is not the first person to tell Hien that.............. ]

"And I'm not gonna get any younger. How old are you, anyway."

[voring]

[HE JUST LAUGHS. Hien... a fossil who may even out-fossil him if only by virtue of existing everything everywhere all at once-core.]

Yeah, time only goes one way! [Even for gods!] I've been around since the earth was ice and mostly still ocean.

[His 700 million years that predates doors...]

[selfconcept]

"The ice age?"

[ Was that 700 million years ago... he doesn't know. He just knows that's like world-contained Ancient. ]

[voring]

Those were later! [Only a comparative 2.4 million years ago apparently...] It was way before that. Snowball earth!

[selfconcept]

"Oh, like real ice age."

[ He's good at human history--not... ancient history. Nothing's important there for him!! ]

"I dunno how old I am, but I feel it. Wait, aren't you a snake? How did you even live when it was so cold? Did you make yourself a long sweater for yourself?"

[voring]

Yeah! Super ice age!

[That is so fair of him. Predating humans by so many millions of years is just a lot of weird creatures and plants hanging out.]

You gotta be careful or you'll break your fragile back, old man. [hehehe OH THE NOVELTY OF CALLING SOMEONE ELSE OLD. Not the long sweater, though. The way the answer is so insane but he just chooses the simple if less truthful explanation.]

I'm not cold-blooded! In fact, I'm really warm! In the winter, I used to coil up around Volov because he'd get cold even though he's so fluffy and fuzzy.

[selfconcept]

"Volov?"

[ Obikawa's [redacted]................. ]

"Fluffy and fuzzy... hm."

[ He pours himself more absinthe and chugs it down. ]

"... Oh, I know. An ostrich."

[ ?????????????/ ]

[voring]

[HIS [REDACTED]!!!!!!

NOT THE ABSINTHE CHUGGING. Obikawa meanwhile just cracks the fuck up because OSTRICH?]

Are you calling him an ostrich?!
