it's like a quarter life crisis

Why are so many of you so young? I'm not the only one at a more mature age, am I? Is anyone over 20? I'm getting wrinkles just thinking about this.

[He's just 25 but if he has one more person tell him they're too young to drink when he thought they were older... his heart can't take it.]

[He's always thirsty.

He's never thrown a cork in his life, but he can still pick one up and toy with it in his hand a bit before deciding how he's going to do this. Ultimately, in a show of what's far more luck than skill, he nails the rim of the cup first in just the right way to get it to bounce back inside of the cup.]

Oh. That shot wasn't beautiful at all, but it still went in. Drink up, Gojyo!

[erogappa]

[ No, that wasn't beautiful. It was nothing but luck, but you can't be a gambler and not respect luck just as much as skill. Gojyo just laughs, shaking his head as he reaches into the mess of cups. He flicks the wet cork back down the table at (not at at) Jae-Ha, drains the cup in two long swallows, and showily upends it back in the middle of the rest. ]

Let's see you do that again!

[ It's only going to get harder! ]

[razzledazzles]

[ This time when Jae-Ha tosses the cork, it's not nearly as lucky. Much like Gojyo's first attempt, it hits the rim and bounces back, not landing in any of the cups. Darn!! He laughs. This isn't a bad game at all... his luck wavers, but he'll get more and more used to throwing these as he goes.

How exciting, though. If he keeps it up like his, he might even get a buzz. Either way, he fully expects to outlast Gojyo even if he has to drink each of these cups himself. ]

[erogappa]

Ha!

[ That's right -- once is luck, twice is skill, and the skillful one here is definitely Gojyo. ]

My turn, here we go... [ He aims, he checks the distance, he aims again... and the cork plunks right into one of the cups at the edge of the cluster. ] Yes!

[razzledazzles]

You do have some luck!

[He might be teasing just a little to say luck and not skill. But he laughs cheerfully all the same, moving to pluck that cork out of the cup and drain it from the wine completely. He sets the cup back down in place, then moves over to set the cork down in front of Gojyo, as well.]

So, then you go again, right?

[erogappa]

[ Gojyo's already lining up his next shot. ]

That's right!

[ And as he aims... ] They've got some crazy games in th'bars here. You should come out some time.

[ ...and the cork drops right into the next cup. Thats two in a row! He really should wait for Jae-Ha to drink before grabbing for the next cork, but he's on a roll! The next cork bounces off the rim of one cup and barely makes it into another, and Gojyo sighs audibly in relief when it goes in. ]

That's three in a row! Drink up, drink up!

[razzledazzles]

[Okay...]

From luck to skill. You're so eager, you couldn't even wait for me to drink the second? [He laughs, moving around to pluck the cork out of that one now and flick it playfully at Gojyo. But he downs this one easily, sets the cup back down and goes for the next. He flicks that cork at him, too. Unfair.]

At this rate, I'll be taken advantage of. [He chuckles into his next drink, but it goes down easily. How nice, to do this with something like wine. He doesn't mind it at all.]

Any bars in particular that you like? I've been to a handful myself, but I do like trying new ones.
