A scientific experiment of the highest order is in progress. One which includes raspberry fudge, brie and crackers, and several different wines. Autor plans to get tipsy today, and he'll do it in style.

He'll also do it with help. Autor endures light ribbing by Sunshine, who has promised to stay with him and make sure he doesn't do anything foolish while even slightly inebriated--a serious concern of his, especially with a sprained ankle. She's keeping to tea today, just in case.

Autor raises a glass, his cheeks already tingling. He swirls the wine, as he has seen done before. Then he holds it up to his nose and takes a deep breath. "Ah, yes. This clean, buttery wine has a heady bouquet with oak notes, and a spicy aroma of vanilla and currant," he says, and takes a sip. "Sadly, it is broad--it has a full body aroma, but lacks any finesse to its taste."

Rae grins, sipping her tea. "Try harder not to sound like you memorized the book, Autor."

[OOC: Two pups, two muns! All threads will come after Rae and Autor's, when the boy is already tipsy.]

Joly is perfectly all right with being cuddled; it seems one of safest options for Autor at the moment.

He blinks in surprise about Thor, though. "Thor is here? That's...German? Is Shiva here too? Wasn't that one of the Eastern gods? And your world knows both..." He pulls away from a particular thought. "I'm sorry, mythology isn't my field, but surely having them for company is...a little intimidating?"

Mythology is really, really not his field. That's about all he can remember about the presence of gods.

"Yeah, and she didn't know who Eve was," Autor chirps cheerfully. He waves a hand, amused by everything lately. "You can meet all sorts of people here at Milliways. The goddess Sirona, Orpheus, Tamara the mermaid--but be careful, she might kiss you. She stole my first kiss by charming me and that wasn't nice of her at all, but at least I got to see the squiddies."

"I thankfully haven't met Shiva," Rae says, grinning. "Or Kali or Odin. And even though Thor was pretty easy-going, I try to watch my mouth. Too much explaining and possible incineration, if I got caught using a god's name as a slang term."

Whoops.

"Some of them are nice, though it's not something you'd want to count on. Demeter used to be a friend of mine, but I don't see her around any more."
