Well that's a whole other topic of conversation. And I think Aunt 'Slash might be grateful if you didn't do that, at least for now.

@Stratocracy

Haha, maybe. But now I need to thank you. You gave me a great idea.

You either acquire the taste or you mask it with flavor as much as you can, is the trick to it.

@Stratocracy

It’s much better when you set it on fire.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

You'll pick up it up fast, clearly.

@Stratocracy

It’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I actually don’t really think the ethanol part tastes very good. I may have to figure out how to like it.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I say keep it up. Maybe it won't be long before you're comfortable enough to start making your own drinks too.

@Stratocracy

You mean from scratch? I’ve got a whole lot to learn.

Part of a good bartender’s job is to be friendly and make good small talk with patrons. All due respect, you seemed incredibly nervous up until stepping behind the counter, and the moment you did, you started talking to me like you’ve owned a bar for decades yourself and it was just another day, another dollar. You got switches on you? ‘Cause I’d sure say it feels like you flipped one.
*Chuckles*

@Stratocracy

Oh, wow uh, thank you!
*Retracts the translucent appendages*
It’s just a lot easier when you’re distracted with work to do.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Very true. Are you sure you haven’t done this before?

@Stratocracy

The mixology stuff? I helped my mom brew potions as a kid, and I’ve watched other people do it.

*Smirks and raises the glass*
Now I will absolutely drink to that.
*Tips the glass up and downs the rest of the drink all in one gulp, planting the glass firmly back down on the bar*

@Stratocracy

*Smiles with warmth and starts cleaning the glass once you set it down*
I believe everyone has their own lot; it just looks different for all of us.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

That’s unfortunate.

@Stratocracy

You know, it's okay! This body is my fate, but my will is to get this job and do something about it. So I'm making the most of it.

Are there any notable, like… “lucky” versus “unlucky” rolls?

@Stratocracy

Absolutely! Mine is considered a sad fate, actually. There are others that mean you or your family are smiled upon.

Oh, nah, I didn’t mean it in any negative way. Stuff about how you grow is just usually something you’d attribute to genetics, which has predictable patterns and probabilities and stuff like that. Seems bizarre for it to be random.

@Stratocracy

There are some things that can change or push it, but as far as any of us can tell it's mostly a loaded dice roll.
