let's take Sora to a bar (but also ask about skills)

[Okay, so this whole being someone else for a number of weeks? Definitely disorienting.

That whole having gotten a fucking sunburn all over, and lived mostly outside during the day? Well, THAT might be approaching faintly traumatic. If nothing else it is at least deeply unsettling.

But he also feels like Jayden - or Humansona, which, honestly, is such an excellent response to the situation and subconsciously making himself less threatening to those humans that were watching, Jackie couldn't have done it better himself - was not super popular and his family relationships... were just. Uncomfortable when translated into the people here. Luckily that got kind of separated by Thorne being there as herself, too. He does wonder a bit about the Phillip kid, but...

No. Not going to do that. Instead, he's going to occupy his mind elsewhere, with much more important things than the easily ignored jaunt experience. Right. Good. Very easily ignored in a box, shoved in the back of the shed. Here we go.]

I have two questions, perhaps someone can help me.

First, is there a complete and thorough list of all the skills that could be learned here? And what other skills are needed for them, and so on? I've found a few things in the library, but they were incomplete and either overly detailed or lacking in description.

Secondly, does anyone know if there's a bar somewhere around here? Particularly one that serves all kinds of sweet cocktails and other such beginner's drinks? And maybe even has hookahs?


[And then, a few hours later, there is an addition - Jackie is trying really hard to not laugh while he's speaking, but it's not really working, and he sounds like he's just short of rolling around the floor.

The sensory livestream coming with the addition is of Malin's Bar. In particular, it focuses on the giant inverted ankh on the window for a long moment before sliding back to survey the bar, and then trails over the much more tasteful and understated ways in which the same symbol has been worked into small patterns all over the room.]

This is hilarious, who made this?

[Look, she came up as a vampire in Camarilla territory. Given all the anti-Sabbat sentiment that goes around in Camarilla towns, the fact that she's decided that they're just both bullshit in different ways is... well, it's something?]

Yeah. Pretty much. Even if it's only just how completely bullshit their world can get.

[talkative]

Sounds like it's worth going.

Good entertainment, if nothing else. [Deets on fellow travellers that might be something to worked with later if it becomes necessary, is what he doesn't say. Entertainment might be offensive, but also sounds a lot more harmless.]

[thornsofmalkav]

[There's the mental equivalent of a snort.] Try not to let them know it's entertainment. There's a difference between someone who went into a dungeon because it was there so why not and a dungeon tourist.

I'm not going to bring a camera, I promise.

Or wear a Hawaii shirt.

Or tennis socks in sandals.

[thornsofmalkav]

No one should wear tennis socks in sandals. If you must wear socks in sandals, at least have the dignity to wear toe socks or really tall ones with rainbow stripes.

[talkative]

And only in fancy sandals, not in practical ones.

Rainbow socks in silver high heels probably don't look too bad. [It's worth a try?] Depending on the fabric.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh man, yeah. I usually don't do high heels unless there's no getting around it [it's her medieval boyfriend who is more likely to put them on] but I could see how that would work.

[talkative]

And then a curtain of silver hair around that. All silver - clothes, hair, heels - and then the rainbow socks. Or tights, even.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh shit, that's nice. I should try putting my boyfriend in that. He's white-blond technically, but he's got hair long enough to pull it off and there's ways to color that shit.

[talkative]

If you need any help with that, like a fashionable eye to judge, I'd be happy to be present for that.

[thornsofmalkav]

Sure. I should probably introduce you eventually anyway. Just remember: he's my human. Nobody else gets to eat him.
