#TipsyTales 1 — What’s your MC’s favorite drink?

Verte Absynthe. (It's synthetic.)

"Absinthe is commonly referred to in historical literature as the green fairy. Verte absinthes are made by steeping a second round of herbs in the distilled spirit. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green color but may also be colorless. It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a liqueur, but is not traditionally bottled with added sugar, so is classified as a spirit."

#TipsyTales 2 — What’s your MC’s least favorite drink?

Milk. Enough said there. He's no baby, after all. He also rather hates the smell of certain cocktails, but that's neither here nor there—because milk is still the worst, taste and smell combined.

(Alexios is such a hater, and for no reason. I love milk. Cow's milk, cashew milk, soy milk, almond milk... So many options lol.)

#TipsyTales 3 — What’s your MC’s most embarrassing moment while drunk? (1/2)

A bit of a spoiler for #TheCityOfOpulence but here we go. That's alright.

Alexios gets rather drunk in his club (the Apex Nightclub) one evening, and he ends up dancing with Trick. Unbeknownst to either of them, Trick's brain implant / chip (from being a sex worker) is malfunctioning and his putative pheromones are all over the place because of it. Alexios is a goner. The two start kissing, leading to a ~ (cont.)

#TipsyTales 3 — What’s your MC’s most embarrassing moment while drunk? (2/2)

(cont.) ~ very steamy scene in his office. They're both incredibly rough with one another. And to be honest, it's been coming for a long time. Afterward, once they've realized what's happened with the chip, Alexios won't talk about it. Trick visits Dante at his med clinic to get it fixed.

(Fun fact: It's the first time Alexios has had sex in about 150 years, so that's interesting.)

#TipsyTales 4 — What’s your SC’s favorite drink?

Junk loves both his beer and grunk, which is a homemade liquor, something skin to moonshine. It would be a toss up between either of those two things, I'd say.

Water. Junk isn't a fan. 😂

#TipsyTales 6 — What’s your SC’s most embarrassing moment while drunk?

Gross alert: One night Junk was ill. He randomly started puking all over Alexios and a few other chooms. It wasn't a fun experience for anyone involved. He has no memory of it, thank the gods. Alexios brings it up from time to time, just to remind Junk not to get too drunk.

#TipsyTales 7 — What’s your antagonist’s favorite drink?

Whatever it might be, if it's expensive, Dr. Death (AKA the Angel of Death) will LOVE it. He isn't a very picky man, and he loves his well-aged alcohol / liquor, especially when enjoyed in the company of the wealthy (or off in his own private suite aboard his ship).

#TipsyTales 8 — What’s your antagonist’s least favorite drink?

Anything cheap. It goes against who he is. He's a wealthy man, and he'd never stoop so low. And as long as we're on the subject he'd also hate grunk, which is a homemade liquor, something like moonshine on Citune.

#TipsyTales 9 — What’s your antagonist’s most embarrassing moment while drunk?

He doesn't have one because he genuinely thinks he's Mr. F*cking Perfect. What a shame. I'd love to embarrass him for all to read / see.

@floofpaldi thanks for nudging my brain. since drinks and coctales aren't exactly the same thing. guess coctale should really be a question some when.
@lunar_fang You you are totally fine. I just thought of something and it might be my favorite. You could say this: boozy beverage of choice.
