"I can purify the alcohol right out of my system. It's such a fucking waste," Rie said as she found a cup and poured some of the Burmecian wine. She took a sip. "This is good," she said, chugged the cup, and poured herself some more. She tossed the bottle to Nat. The bottle had no cap, yet Rie had thrown it in such a way that no drops spilled, despite the fact that it was spinning in the air.

"Thanks. Pretty smooth move there." Natalie said, snatching it out of the air. She flickered, and reappeared with three wineglasses precariously clutched in her free hand. She doled out decent measures in two of them, and then topped one off. She handed one to Zebedee, and one to Thyra, keeping the full one for herself.
"Impressive color. Are you sure that these are the right kinds of glasses for drinking a red wine?" Thyra asked out of curiosity. "I never really did much wine tasting, but with my background, I heard quite a bit of it done." She swirled the wine in her glass, breathing in the essence of it. "Here goes." She took a small sip, paused, swished it around her mouth a little, and then took a larger sip. She paused, and then swallowed.
"Exquisite." She remarked. Zebedee had been sipping his in silence, also evidently relishing the experience. He slowly but steadily put away the glass, and then looked up.
"That is really, really good. You guys should try some. As for that wine from Drakengrad, give me a moment to calibrate my feather, and I'll be up for it, too. I wouldn't mind comparing them, though I think there's no way that there would be one clear winner."

"The Burmecians used to be known for their beer and wine exports. Then they turned into recluses, but you can all still come to me if you desperately want some," Yoshimitsu said, sipping the Drakengard wine again. He looked relaxed, which was odd since his usual posture was alert and ready for combat. He had even abandoned the Bahamut Blade and left it at home for once. Grinning, he took a second sandwich for himself and took a bite.
"So, Zebedee, not liking that name at the moment?" He asked, taking care not to spray food everywhere as he spoke. He took another swig of wine to wash down the sandwich, and glanced around everyone, smiling contently.
OOC- I only realised on that last sentence that Yoshimitsu is talking with his mouth full most of the time. Oh well. I realise my posts are very short. Shush.

"Eh, I'm just more comfortable with my real name than one that I used as a cover in case there was another Zebedee here... But as far as I could tell, there wasn't. He was supposed to have died thirtyish years ago... Which is kinda disconcerting, but at least it means I can have my name to myself. I'm sure you know how it feels to get to be yourself again after a long time with another face." Zebedee smiled serenely, producing a starfruit and biting a huge chunk out of it. The thin juice ran down his chin, Zebedee pausing to wipe some away.
"Besides, calling him Lee is an easy way to get his dander up." Natalie slurped down another glass.

"I wouldn't expect a winner to be declaired Zebedee. We're not in compition here, just having a good time." Valon said as he pulled a small chunk of honey colored bread from a basket and took a large bite.
Marius turned to face the new arrival near him. He became suddenly aware that the female warrior was asking for some wine and he was more than happy to offer it. He bowed down slightly and extened his left hand which held the glass. he turned his eyes up to meet Nats and smiled, a massive wave of charm washed off of him like a flood.
"Of course, have mine. I'm not much for Viyian myself. Please, enjoy." Marius said, his raw charm seeping into every word.
"He's like this. Easily flustered around my male friends, ever the ladies man, and deadly to an enemy. Still a bit on the mannered side though. He's a bit uptight most of the time." Valon said to Zebedee in reference to Marius as he created a few new glasses of Viyian and passed them about the group until everyone whom had requested one had gotten one.

"I know exactly how you feel, actually," Yoshimitsu said, smiling. He nodded to Valon as he approached, and instead turned to Nat, almost randomly pulling a rose from the pouch at his waist.
"For the lady, of course," he said, bowing and offering the flower to Nat, ducking his head while he grinned. He straightened his back. "Though, I don't think you're one for flowers. I just happen to have a healthy supply on me at any one time. You'd be surprised how often it comes in handy."

"Mm. Doubtless." Zebedee responded, accepting his glass graciously.
"Thank ya." Natalie nodded slightly, a small smirk touching her lips although it quickly faded away again. He was impressive looking, but too highstrung for her liking. Still, it was best to keep her options open. She took a swig of the new cup of wine.
"Wow... That's pretty good stuff there. How long do y'all age it for?" Natalie asked, taking another draught while waiting for a response. With her free hand, she accepted the rose from Yoshimitsu.
"Hey, flowers are okay. Just because I'm good at kicking ass doesn't mean I'm no good at appreciating the beautiful things in life. I do spend most of my free time away from you guys in an art museum, you know." Natalie said with a smile, gently tucking the rose away in a safe place. She'd put it in a glass of water in her room when she got home. "Thanks."
OOC: Natalie's a very busy girl.

OOC- This is almost getting comical how often these uniposts are happening. XD
Edit: As a note, Yoshi is not interested in a romantic relationship with Nat xD It just wouldn't work.

"The average aging span is about two thousand years. We have a three-hundred step process to get it just right. The one that we are drinking right now was made just around the time Jesus was among the living. Tasting history is always fun." Valon smiled lightly as he took another drink.
Marius smirked slightly as he turned and rejoined his master. A bit of disappointment washed around in his mind at the fact that these women weren't as receptive to him as most but he would have his time. Quietly he grabbed a fruit from his basket that looked like a cross between a cactus and a banana and smelt it quickly. He pulled the blade that he wore on his belt free and let its silver finish shine for a moment before peeling the fruit. He popped a bit into his mouth and then replaced his blade.
"So, Lord Tayl...Zebedee, and I don't believe I got your name...How long have you known my master?" Marius asked to Zebedee and Yoshi.

Yoshimitsu pulled an almost identical rose from his pouch, and presented it to Marius, bowing once more. "A sign of courtesy, as far as I am concerned," Yoshimitsu said, straightening his back. "As for how long I've known Valon, your guess is as good as mine. I don't remember when I met him, but I know now that he's a friend and a powerful ally. Speaking of..."
Yoshimitsu turned his head to Valon. "Would you care to try some Burmecian beer?" He took another mouthful of wine, and continued, "According to Fratley, it's meant to be some of the nicest in the world. That said, he might be a bit biased." Yoshimitsu produced a bottle, and offered it to Valon, starting to grin. Fratley was proud of his country's produce, even if it was founded.

"Two thousand years? Impressive. And I can say that I fully appreciate the history that went into this." Natalie said, smiling and finishing off her glass.
"Wow... I can't really say." Zebedee looked upwards, and then set down his glass and began counting on his fingers. "Hmmm.... Maybe five or six years. Maybe less, maybe more." Zebedee sighed and shrugged. "I honestly have no kind of head for time. Things happen too quickly for me to keep track of all of them around here."

Sly, who at some point had morphed to his human form, was setting cross-legged near the larger group. His lips were smacking happily, as he devoured what was left of the Draconic Fruitcake of Death. When the plate had been licked clean, Sly stood up and joined the rest of the group.
“I’ve known Valon for quite some time. I made his acquaintance shortly after arriving in this dimension. At that time he was still referring to himself as the Forrest Warrior and still struggling against the demon Valcara…” Sly took a steady breath and looked away for a moment. From here, he could see the hill where he had laid his wife, Amilla, to rest. When he turned back towards the group, his face contorted in anger.
The harsh look quickly softened and returned to his usual happy face. Sly reached into his messenger bag and produced a large slender bottle and a glass for himself. “If you truly wish to compare cultural beverages, then you must taste some andalite grass wine.”
Sly poured a drink into his glass and, tipping his back slightly, consumed the contents in one go. “It is rather delicious,” he said as he began pouring everyone a drink, “Andalites have several different flavors of grass, a considerable more than humans have. This wine combines the best of the flavors into a single exquisite drink, though only a person with a mouth can truly savor all its flavors.”
Rick and Mia had also moved over and joined the rest of the group. Sly had never allowed Rick to try the wine and was grateful when he handed him a cup. Mia on the other hand looked at the contents uneasily. “Did... did he say grass wine?” she asked unsure.
“Why isn’t Merlin over here?” Sly asked. He was answered with a loud snore as Merlin rolled over and continued sleeping on the grass near the coolers.
OOC – For andalite grass wine, think of highest proof moonshine/white lighting you can think of. Think, melt you face kind of stuff.

"Are you sure this stuff is quite right?" Thyra asked quietly, sniffing it cautiously. "It... burns my nose."
"Wussy. This is the good stuff." Natalie said with a sage grin, and then downed her entire glass in a gulp. Tossing her wineglass back to Sly, she let out a howling whoop. "Whew! That is some good stuff." Nat brushed a few tears from her cheeks. Her knees visibly shook. "No wonder why you Andalite guys are so fuzzy. That'll put some hair on anybody's chest."
"All I know is that..." Zebedee paused, and then spat out a small bit of the green fluid. "When I removed the alchoholic content, there was very little left for my enjoyment. You sure that this stuff isn't like, you know, absinthe on steroids or something?"

"Grass wine? Whatever, I'll take some." Rie had somehow gotten a hold of a red platsic party cup, despite the fact that there were no stacks of that kind of cup anywhere nearby. She helped herself to the bottle and took a sip. Her eyes widened, as if in shock, and for a moment, it looked like she was about to faint.
Then she chugged the rest of it and poured herself another cup and chugged that one too. "Oh this is even better than a scumble..." she said, rocking ever so slightly. "And they use magic to prepare that stuff..."
She poured herself another cup and decided to savor that one.

Rie. Yoshimitsu. Natalie. Valon. New names flew through the air, and Sophitia struggled to grasp the exchange. Inconspicuously as she could, she crossed the distance between where she stood and where her chip lay forgotten on the ground and sat delicately beside them, holding her hand out for the nearest bottle of Burmecian wine.
OOC: What the crap, when did people start posting in this again?

OOC: No, but I did realize that she knew Miko, not Zebedee. (Oops. Unimportant.) But it's been, like, five years since then. =/
I need to find that RP so I can remember things properly.

"So, anybody bring any board games or anything?" Zebedee asked from his seat in the grass. Natalie turned, and stared at him for a moment, her mouth hanging open.
"You invite all of us, bring a bunch of food, and have no entertainment?" She tossed her wine glass over her shoulder, leaving Thyra to catch it.
"Errr... Yes, actually. I guess we could do a party game or something..." Zebedee smiled apologetically.
"Please, no. The last time we played Twister, right foot on blue prompted four people kicking Sly." Thyra paused, nibbling on a devilled egg.
"That was witty, and you know it." Natalie scoffed in return.
"I was just trying to avoid awkward contact with Rick." Zebedee muttered. "You know, just not my cup of tea."
"News to me." Natalie snarked, kicking at some weeds.
"Only because you couldn't catch on to something subtle if it lit you on fire." Zebedee retorted.
"If it lit her on fire, it wouldn't be subtle, no?" Thyra observed.
"More subtle than her." Zebedee said with a chuckle.
"Only because I'd be running around on fire beating the living **** out of whoever did it to me." Natalie responded, and then visibly brightened. "Running around? Beating the living **** out of people? I got it. We should play a game of football."
"Two hand touch, flag, or tackle?" Zebedee asked instantly, a devilish grin spreading across his face. His aura appeared slight, tendrils of light wrapping around him and creeping across the turf.
"I'm somewhat lost here... Never was much for sports." Thyra said quietly, secretively licking the last bits of egg from her fingertips.
