This isn't something that I typically find myself asking or even thinking about, to be honest.
But I suppose I'm of age now, and "of age" is a somewhat irrelevant concept when the countries and laws we come from no longer exist, isn't it?

With that said:

In our current circumstance, where might one find an alcoholic drink?

There's a place in Nadril called The Frosty Tap Cantina . It's okay, seemed like they liked playing games a lot though.

[fiendennor]

What sort of games? I'm not too familiar with drinking establishments. Is it unusual?

[maipokerface]

Not really. I don't exactly hang around them either.

[Well, much.]

This place has some kind of betting game though. You bet and if you lose, you do a dare. I didn't really do any dares though, they just had me sit around and participate in the other half of trying to make someone smile dares.

[Because she was unhappy and could keep the stiffest frown through everything.]

[fiendennor]

That sounds like the antithesis of fun.
Who would remotely enjoy being asked to do a dare just because you lost some silly wager?

[Diana "no fun" Cavendish.]

:O
you're right
of age doesn't even matter anymore
at least there's one perk to this stupid world destroying dumb storm thing!

[ she is going to be a rebel and drink some booze. ]

[fiendennor]

Thank the Nine for small comforts, I suppose.
Not that I intend to avail myself of this too often.

Just for the moment.

[hellzone]

could you even "avail yourself" otherwise?
do olympia and wyver have bars?
i'm new here so i haven't actually been there but that's where people were before here right?

[fiendennor]

That's correct-- at least, in terms of where we were before. To be honest, I don't really know. It's not something I've done before. I know little of the cities' nightlife.

[ Well, Diana, you're lucky you know someone who is deeply familiar with alcohol. He wants no one to end up as reliant on it as he is, but he's always happy to give friendly directions to the nearest bar. ]

It seems you've been directed to the most populous tavern already. I agree, it is a rather lively place. The company is good and the atmosphere is light, and the wine is perfectly acceptable. They do seem to enjoy placing wagers as well. I've grown quite fond of it, but variety is good every so often, do you agree? I have found a handful of quieter places, if you prefer.

[ Of course he would have. ]

voice

[fiendennor]

[She knows that voice.

Dammit, she'd been hoping he wouldn't see this.] I think something quieter might suit my mood more, yes.

I'm not looking for something raucous.

[winecasks]

[ You put out the call for alcohol, Grantaire is going to respond. He means well, but he’s definitely got a problem. ]

Then, mademoiselle, I believe I have found just the place if you will allow me to direct you to the fishing district. I’ve found the people there are coarser than those in the center of the city, but not impolite. If you do not wish to speak to them, they will not speak to you.

[fiendennor]

A... fishing district? I see... [She trails off.]

Er, there's nothing perhaps, ah. Something more upscale?

[Look she tries not to be classist but]

[sparsity]

Did something happen?

voice

[fiendennor]

Did you... meet my friend Akko, by any chance? She was awake for a short time.

[Was.]

[sparsity]

[ Ah. ]

I didn't. Is she asleep again?

[fiendennor]

[Diana sighs.] Yes.

Somehow, it's all the more frustrating than if she hadn't woken up at all. [They'd had important conversations.]

why would you even want one of those drinks? they taste awful and then they make you feel awful

[Man who was cool with drinking dragon blood takes issue with alcoholic beverages. o k.]

[fiendennor]

As it happens, I think I'm in the mood for that particular brand of feeling awful.

[earthy]

because of all the trouble these past few months?

a few people already mentioned the frosty tap but somehow they didn't mention the best part ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

you can mix your own drink and make it look really fancy~

[There's a brief video added after the initial text message of some drinks sitting on the bar counter - one is made up of several neon layers artfully swirled together, one is purple and filled with bubbles in various lighter shades that rise, break the surface, then pop only once they've completely come into the air, and another is clear and lightly fizzy, but giving off a faint rainbow mist.]

[fiendennor]

I see. That's certainly an attractive-looking concoction you have there. Did you know what you were doing, or was it happenstance?

[thedarkbond]

i asked the bartender for some pointers so i didnt accidentally mix a really bad combination of ingredients (ヾ;￣▽￣)ヾ

but other than that i was playing around
i've never mixed drinks before, it's not usually this interesting

Oh! So you're at that point huh? Congratulations!

Man, I remember when I first turned 21 and went out to my first couple of bars. Those were the times.

Also... Don't exactly remember all of it.

Huh.

Anyway! Don't know of many out here Nadril yet, what with us all being new to the place. But if you go back up to Thessa they're able to whip you up just about anything at the cafeteria.

Oh! Which country are you in? I'd be happy to offer a few recommendations depending.

[fiendennor]

To be clear, I turned 18 (the age of adulthood in my homeland) back in April, and as far as I'm aware, the drinking age here is 16.
I just haven't felt the urge to indulge in it much before now.

Do they really serve alcohol back up on the station?

I'm from England, to answer your question.

Re: text

[objectionattorney]

Ah. Right. Most of Europe was like that, huh?

[Man, he couldn't imagine what he would be like if he was allowed such freedom at such an early age. He'd definitely abuse it... Probably...]

But yeah, all you really have to do is ask and those up on the orbiter can recreate just about anything.

Had an In-N-Out Burger recently which was surprisingly close to the real deal. And friends have grabbed me drinks while I've been up there.
