Drinking patterns (Silus, open)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Thyferra : Estate of Arrannia



"SILUS!!!!"

The shout was followed by an uncomfortable sounding thump as a body hit the carpetted floor of what could only be described a sitting room. Hell, s'Il wasn't sure what it was, and had officially designated it the drinking room. Though technically, that was every room in the estate.

And currently, the 'sitting room' was a mess of beer cans, liquor bottles, and a holovid that was currently playing a badly dubbed Bothan monster movie. Empty cans of Hoth Ice and Selonia's Best covered the clear glass coffee table, and a dozen other bottles dotted the floor and the top of the holovid.

Needless to say, the night had been very eventful, s'Il deciding to finally visit the estate offered (http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21600&highlight=sIlancy) to her by Grand Admiral Desaria in payment for a job long past. It was nice, and it did have a nice view; of course that view wasn't currently the one that concerned s'Il at the moment.

Laying on her back, she glared up at Silus as he stood over her, pointing and laughing at her like a schoolkid. Both were so three sheets to the wind that it was a miracle they could even stand... well, almost. Apparently s'Il was having problems staying on her feet. Or so Silus taunted.

"You're a loser, Silus Xilarian!!!"

[Silus Xilarian]

"At least I can stand!"

OF COURSE he could stand. Unlike Lok, Silus could handle his liquor. To him, she was but an amateur. Of course, he ignored the spinning of the room, and the near fall he had just completed. It was that he was in any kind of denial....He just didnt like to focus on the negative, unless of course, it had nothing to do with him. Then he'd point and laugh at it....

"I swear Lok, your gettin soft in your old age."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"I'm not getting soft!" she shot back, not so much angry as she was just arguing. It was always fun to argue with Silus, cause she always won. So what if he didn't like it sometimes? To her, Silus was just an amateur, having to push her down to make it seem like he was the one who could hold his liquor. "The only reason I fell was cause you pushed me, you dumby."

She let her head fall back, staring up at the high-vaulted ceiling as it did cartwheels around her, then turned her gaze back to Silus. Her hands shot out then, and latching onto both his ankles, she pulled his legs toward her,

[Silus Xilarian]

Before he knew it, Silus felt his legs being snatched out from under him. With no way to really recover, Silus did what anyone in his position would do. He fell, of course. He let out a slight off as he hit the ground, flat on his back with one arm lifted into the air. In that hand was his beer, in which not a drop was spilled...

"Cheater..."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"Tit for tat, mister... " was the only semi-slurred response.

Rolling to her hands and knees, s'Il stumbled to her feet, barely catching herself from tripping over Silus' prone bulk. As it was, she plopped herself down, straddling his chest while in the same motion snatching his beer from his hand. She sat on him, utterly proud of herself and her 'conquered territory'. She wiggled just a little then.

"... are you gonna complain about it?"

[Silus Xilarian]

"Of course not...."

Silus gave a lopsided, yet sly grin. As soon as she went to take a drink from his beer, Silus pushed the bottom of the can, causing her to spill it on herself....

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

It was startling, and cold. Grumbling something along the lines of 'stupid bastard can't even take it like a man', she glared down at him. It was bad enough that now not only her breath, but her entire chest reeked of alcohol. Her chest...

Oh. Great.

Of all the days to wear the one white shirt she owned, s'Il wore it tonight. Of all nights to wear one stupid shirt that exposed everything when wet... she cursed then, giving Silus her best evil eye.

"This is so all your fault," she grumbled, "If you hadn't pushed me down in the first place, none of this would have happened."

And with that, she reached behind her, pouring the rest of the can's contents all over Silus' crotch.

[Silus Xilarian]

"HEY! THATS NOT RIGHT!"

Silus jolted back, sending s'Il sprawling. This was just great, now if anyone happen to come by, they would think that Silus got drunk and wet himself. Then in turn he would have to kill them for thinking such a thing. Obviously s'Il had overlooked this, but that didnt stop Silus from grumbling incoherently about it...

"Sometimes I wonder if you're more trouble than you're worth..."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

With a grin that stretched goofily from ear to ear, s'Il rolled over onto her back, looking at Silus and stifling her gigles as he stared - horrified - at his now soaked crotch. Now it was her turn to poke and prod at him. Lord knew he'd done it enough to her.

"You know, Silus, you should really start using the bathroom if you have to go; I mean, how're you gonna pick up the ladies if you keep going in your pants?"

Another fit of drunken giggling overtook her, and s'Il rolled to her side, sitting up. It wasn't her fault he'd wet his pants. Just like it wasn't his fault she'd tripped.

[Silus Xilarian]

"Pleassssse, like women care if I soil myself, in fact, if soiling myself WOULD deter women, id have started doing it a long time ago..."

Silus ignored the look Lok was giving him.

"It gets pretty annoying after awhile, I cant go anywhere without women flocking to me. Hell, there's probably at least three women outside right now, digging through the trash in hopes of finding a half eaten sandwich, just because its touched my lips."

As Lok got off of him, Silus put his free hand down and pushed himself to his feet, taking a few moments to stumble around afterward.

"I think you're just jealous..."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

A hiccup.

"Oh lord, you found me out, Silus. How'd you ever guess?"

She sat, crossing her legs and leaning back, craning her neck to look up at him as he stood. Gawd he was tall. Or she was short - well... duh. Of course she was.

A few minutes of silence passed before an idea occured to her. "You know... we could go over and visit Telan...

"I think I still have a few cherry bombs left over from the last time... "

[Silus Xilarian]

"The only way Im going anywhere near Desaria, even with a cherry bomb, is you can promise me he'll eat it..."

He wasnt angry, although he did speak with a brow narrowed. The truth of the matter was, he knew just enough of Grand Admiral Desaria to know he didnt like the man.

"Besides, we got all this beer left, and OBVIOUSLY you cant hold your liquor. I was gonna go get the taun taun's drunk. The force knows ive seen enough of you staggering around half outta your mind."

Silus gave Lok a sloppy wink then headed for the fridge.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

She looked at him incredulously, as if he'd suddenly grown a hand out from his forehead, and as he made his way for the kitchen to no doubt liberate even more alcohol from her stash, she staggered to her feet.

s'Il ignored his comments about Desaria, and instead, with a slight stumble, started after Silus.

"You dumby! You can't get a tauntaun drunk!"

[Silus Xilarian]

"I didnt seem to have much trouble getting you drunk....I consider myself an expert"

Silus came out of the kitchen with a whole case of beer, and a few sloppily stacked on top of it. It was hard enough walking as it was, considering he'd probably downed enough alcohol to kill a taun taun by this point. Trying to keep the beer stacked on the case from falling was a chore in itself.

As hard as he tried, a few still fell off....

"Why dont you just get the door, so I can do my job..."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

It was strange - that however inebriated one could get, it seemed that when the threat of spilled alcohol was concerned, the body moved of its own accord. And that's what s'Il's body did, as a few of the bottles Silus had not-so-carefully balanced atop the case toppled from their perch. With a quick lunge she reached out, fingers closing around the bottles in a tight grip.

"Way to go there, buster," she grumbled, straightening herself and following him through to the side entranceway.

The house itself sat near one of Thyferra's coasts, and was rather posh - or at least it would have been, had s'Il had the inclination to make it appear as such. As things stood, she only used it for storing stolen paintings and a massive entertainment system complete with a holostation 4. God she loved that game system - she and Silus had spent hours beating the living daylights out of eachother playing some fighting game all through the night. She'd even had tauntauns brought in from off-planet for the pure hell of it...

... tauntauns that, apparently, Silus thoroughly intended to get completely hammered. Bare feet pattering across the marble tiles, the Lupine accompanied her best friend for the simple fact that she'd be able to laugh at him when he failed. Situating the bottles into the crook of her right arm, she reached out with her left, grasping the handle and pulling the door open to allow daylight to stream in.

It wasn't quite nightfall yet, and the sun was still a good distance above the water's horizon.

Looking back at Silus, she noticed that yet another bottle was getting ready to upend itself from atop the case.

"You want me to git it?"

[Silus Xilarian]

"No I dont want you to git it....."

Silus arched his neck slightly, pinning the bottle between the case and his chin. With Lok there, it would have been easy enough to let her carry the spare alcohol, but then, that would mean that she was helping him, and he knew as well as she how much she'd enjoy rubbing that one in.

The trip to the taun taun pen would have gone faster were Silus not carrying a load of alcohol. Plus, he found walking in a straight line to be no easy task. Finally though, they reached the pen, and Silus sat the beer now.

It took him a moment to manuever throw the planks of the fence, but soon enough he was through. With a beer in each hand, Silus headed straight for the nearest Taun Taun...

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

She watched as Silus got his frame through the fencing panels, and with a snigger, she climbed up to sit on the top panel. She held a bottle in one hand, and taking the bottom of her shirt, used it to cover her hand as she twisted the cap off. Sometimes, things were just too good to watch without something to drink.

She laughed, watching as he approached one of the animals, It looked at him, snorted, then moved, turning itself around and starting to lumber towards the other side of the corral.

"Hey Silus," she called out as the second, third, and fourth tauntauns all gave him the same treatment, "Maybe you should take off all your clothes! That might distract them."

[Silus Xilarian]

"You should be so lucky!"

Apparantly, these Taun Taun's didnt know a good opportunity if it walked into their pen and tried to catch them. It didnt get any better than free alcohol, and these things were completely passing it up.

Silus was persistant though, and finally cornered one of the buggers. He poured a little bit of beer into the palm of his hand and held it to the timid creature's mouth. After a few sniffs, the Taun Taun finally wisened up and licked the beer from Silus' hand.

The upside, Silus was one step closer to completing his mission. The downside, his hand was now covered in Taun Taun spit, which Silus had no problem wiping on the taun taun's fur.

The next trick would be difficult, but not altogether impossible. Holding the beast's head still, Silus brought the bottle up to its mouth. The taun taun initially fought back, until the first taste of alcohol reached its buds. After a few moments of coaxing, the taun taun finally relented and let Silus pour the rest of the beer in.

Silus shot a grin toward Lok as he reached for the other beer. He fully expected the Taun Taun to walk off....Instead, it nudged him while he was looking away, impatient for another cold one.

Not only was this one hooked, the other Taun taun's were now getting curious, maybe a bit jealous, and had started to ease over toward Silus.....

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

At first, she'd watched - a smirk on her face as the animals shied away from Silus, but soon her smirk turned puzzled, and she sat motionless on the fence.

"No way," she mouthed in disbelief as the tauntauns began flocking to Silus. A hiccup escaped her lips, and she leaned forward, her eyes locked on the scene before her. So far did she lean forward, that she lost her balance, and with a startled yelp as she realized what was happening, the Lupine pitched forward, hands going out to catch the ground as it came up to meet her.

A cloud of dust seemed to explode on the opposite side of the corral from Silus, and with a cough, s'Il pushed herself up from the dirt, dusting herself off.

And indignant look was cast to Silus, but she said nothing, only giving him a hmph.

[Silus Xilarian]

"Told you you couldnt even stand up.....but let me guess, I pushed you."

Silus grinned at her. The tauntauns had finished up all the beer he'd brought out. He started back toward the fence to retrieve more, then an idea popped in his head.

Instead of grabbing more bottles, he instead, grabbed the whole case. The tauntauns had followed him over, and he was having to push them away with his free arm just to be able to walk.

This time, he made his way to their water trough, and proceeded to turn it over, spilling all the water from it, and succeeding in scaring the tauntauns away long enough for him to start his plan.

One by one, after setting the trough back up, he poured in the beer. As he started to empty the last few, the tauntauns got over their scare and made their way back again. Silus stepped back, and after a few sniffs, the tauntauns were drinking beer from their trough. He looked over to s'Il with a proud grin....

"We need more beer!"

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

At about the same time Silus had had his miracle revelation of needing more beer, s'Il had had her own idea. It was brilliance - sheer and utter brilliance and with a wicked grin, the Lupine began scrambling back through the fence. Worming her way through the planks, she managed to get herself stuck momentarily before dropping through and landing in a small tangle of limbs on the other side of the fence. Stumbling to her feet, she started making her way for the barn. Silus' shout stopped her briefly, and she turned around.

"Get it yourself! I'm busy!"

With that, s'Il disappeared into the barn. After all, hers had to be the best idea on the face of the planet - not even high-super-baron-lord Grand Admiral Desaria would have ever thought of this.

And why was that? CAUSE SHE WAS FUGGIN' BRILLIANT!

[Silus Xilarian]

"That's it!! You just keep on walking! I didnt wanna have to give you credit for helping me anyways!"

So now, whenever people ask Silus if it's possible to get a Taun Taun drunk, he could simply tell them that he had done it before. And when they asked who helped him, he could say 'NOBODY!'

Of course, he was curious as to why s'Il was heading for the barn. The last time they had gone into anything that resembled a barn, things got a little...actually, thats another story.

Silus scaled the fence again, and maybe a drunken jog back toward the house. The taun taun's were thirsty, and he was the bartender...

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The sounds of crashing could be heard coming from the interior of the barn, and even the muted cursing. A few grunts, a few scraping noises, and then allw as silent.

She didn't need to help Silus - she had a better idea to make things just a little more interesting - and it was loads better than Silus' idea. Of course, anything was for that matter.

"I hope you get trampled!!" she yelled out the door before starting to pull her two "catches" out of the barn. Draped around her neck were two bit and bridle sets, and in each hand, dragging along the ground, were two taun taun saddles...

... but that wasn't all that her idea entailed...

[Silus Xilarian]

Silus refused to pay her any sort of attention as she drug her catch back from the barn. Instead, he continued to fill the TaunTaun's water trough with the beer he'd just brought from the house. Simply put, she only did these things for attention, and most likely, the saddles and bridles werent even for the taun tauns. Most likely, she was just trying to get Silus to use them on her, which would completely detract from Silus getting the taun tauns drunk, which would then mean that she would prove him wrong by saying that he couldnt get a taun taun drunk.

And that couldnt happen.

"Nuh uh, we aint doin that one again. You remember what happened last time."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"Ha! You think I wanna do that with you again?? Believe me, bub," was her grumbled answer as she got closer to the corral, "after that little display of inadequacy on your part, I'd be hardpressed to do that again."

With a grunt, she tossed one saddle up and onto the top fence panel, then the other soon followed suit.

"Don't think yourself so lucky," she finished.

[Silus Xilarian]

"Dont even try that on me, you know damn well and good you liked it, right up until things got crazy."

Silus poured the last beer in, then chunked the empty cardboard case to the side.

"Thats why you begged for it three more times afterward"

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"I think you misunderstood me, Darlin'," came the swift reply as she pulled the headstalls from around her neck, "I was the one telling you no."

Hanging the bridles on one of the posts, the Lupine turned around once more and headed for the barn.

"And I've got it all on tape, too, so there's no denying it!" she yelled over her shoulder.

[Silus Xilarian]

"Well Ive got alotta stuff on tape too, so dont think two cant play that game!"

Besides, she didnt have any tapes of her telling him no, unless of course, she doctored some tapes up, which Silus wouldnt put past her.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"Your porn collection doesn't count, moron," she called over her shoulder, once more disappearing into the barn. A few crashes could be heard coming from the structure's interior, followed by cursing, but after a few seconds it went silent once more.

And five minutes later she emerged, toting two chestplates in both hands, and two knight helmets in the crook of each arm. At Silus' look, she dropped them near the fance.

"What? They came with the house, and I didn't want them inside, so I brought them out into the barn."

And turning on her heel once more, the Lupine marched back to the barn.

[Silus Xilarian]

"Porn does count if you're in it."

Silus was pretty confused at this point. Of course she liked dressing up, but this was getting a bit weird.

"And you dont have to go drugging out all this crap just cause you're jealous about me getting the taun tauns drunk...You arent gonna impress me!"

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"I am SO not jealous of you Silus Xilarian!!! Who wants to be a narcissist anyways - " SSWIFFFSH - KERRRRASSSSHHHH "OW!!! Holy frelling hell in a hooker's pants!!"

And then silence...


...


"... Silus? Could you help me?

"Please?"

[Silus Xilarian]

"Say that again, I'm not sure if I heard you correctly..."

A mile wide grin spread across Silus' face as he made his way toward the barn. If good karma ever worked for him, it was doing its thing now.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"You heard me you stupid frelling idjit! Get your meaty paws over here! I... " she faultered then, not really wanting to go on, as Silus would never let her forget what she'd said, but went on anyways, "it's too big for me... "

[Silus Xilarian]

"It's too big for you? If I had a nickel for everytime you said that.......well, id have a drenload of nickels..."

Taking his sweet precious time, Silus started on into the barn to see what s'Il had managed to do.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

"Hardee-frellin'-har, bucko," came his grumbled answer, and from her position in the barn, let her head fall back so she could watch Sius saunter his way into the barn.

It was a one in a million chance, in her mind, that things had happened how they did - but they had, and the LUpine had found herself trapped beneath a small pile of hay bales. She'd been trying to pull the pvc poles that held the pile balanced up, but had somehow, magically forgotten, that the poles were there for a reason.

Until now.

"Now. You gonna help me out of this?"

[Silus Xilarian]

"I dont know, im busy, you may have to get it yourself."

Ohhhh where had he heard those words before. Silus slowly walked toward her. For a moment, it looked as if he'd had enough of tormenting her and was going to let her go..

But of course...This was too golden of an opportunity to waste. Instead of yanking hay bales off her, Silus plopped down beside her. Delicately, he brushed a stray lock of hair from her face.

"Now Lok, before we go on to the whole me saving your butt thing, theres a matter of *ahem* compensation we have to deal with...."
