I dunno. -shrugs-
I live in the underworld, so...
I think being drunk helps me. Or keeps me satiated with things. I think I'd be angry with some things otherwise, y'know? -grins a little and chuckles-
I'm a bit of a happy drunk.
I see you're going more for the principles.
I haven't taught you any of the techniques yet, after all.
Though those are some good kicks.

-Leans forward and squints at the picture-
I haven't seen him myself, but... I know he's been here.
Mm. Makes sense, even if it's not something I've ever had to do myself.
It sounds nice to have a little bit, I'll admit. 'S just not a good idea after a breakup, though. I don't wanna do any dumb shit.
Oh yeah- I watch earth a lot. Alcohol after break-ups in the presence of lots of other people is never a good idea.
Regret is not a good addition to hangovers. -chuckles a little-
I don't worry about doing dumb things. I gamble anyways.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postWell, with the consideration that it's an entire style and art of fighting- there's quite a lot of techniques.
Grabs, punches, kicks.
And the use of a walking stick- which could easily be applied in principle to other weapons.
-nods- Mm.
I mean- gambling's my job anyways.
Is' the power plays and all that... betting on whether a hero or a villain will win. Betting about stuff that happens on earth. Sometimes intervening a little bit.
Based upon consulting and our bets. Keep the game interesting.
Though for me- I always bet hero, and I like underdogs too.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postSome do- we like to spice things up sometimes.
Even me. I have made deals before in order to give a certain underdogs superpowers and such.
It's all to keep the game going- keep a balance. 'Cause- I mean- it'd be boring if everything went shit, OR if everything went well.

1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postHm. -nods-
-he wasn't quite expecting to be a lecturer-
-but he's happy being laid-back for now-
Not if there's people betting against you- nudging things back.
Plus- it's more-or-less, kinda expected that there'll be cheating.
Besides- sometimes you can nudge things however much you want and not get the result you want because the world decides you don't get it.
One of my favorites- I tried to give his mother a nice guy, and upstanding kind of guy, to help with upbringing and such- 'cause I betted that I could make this really strong hero from this random woman in Bulgaria.
Who does his mother end up conceiving him with? A Mobster.
Which- haaaarrhghhh... makes it a very difficult bet- because I don't know which way he'll flop... he's teetering on the line on a conscience level it looks like...
He says he's a villain- but he feeds information to heroes so it's like... hrrhghh... How do you call it- and all... And he'll have to fully commit to one side eventually...
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post-nods- Yeah- and that is aggravating...
Hell- that favorite is why I'm here. 'Cause he disappeared off over here, and I want to be able to see whether he makes a decision.
I'm also following up in case he potentially gets married around here- but that's a separate bet from the main bet.
Apparently he is still as single as he was when he left, but I can wait on that bet.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postIt's basically all of the above... well- except status. That only happens at the lower levels. When you're as high as I am- you learn to stop betting things with your status.
-nods- Sometimes it's if you lose a bet- you can't interfere with a certain other bet, or allow a certain other event to happen.
Like say- the outcome of a war on earth.
Of course, I don't like losing the bets at that point... Like- especially if there's a clear villainous side.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postYeah- it gets like that. Easier to keep track of when drunk- because things just look simpler when your mind's all fuzzy...
Though I get this point- where... like- I drink so much, it almost loops back around to being somewhat sober...
It's weird- probably not possible for anyone else.

I have reason to believe that someone I am trying to find is located somewhere around here. -she opens the folder and pulls out a picture showing it to Julie-
Have you seen anyone who looks like this?
