Hey, Inquisition. So I had an important philosophical question, but I figure important philosophical questions are kinda lame, so: who here is familiar with body shots?
Back home there's this... I think "tradition" is giving it a little too much credit. There's uh, this... ritual you can enjoy in the World Without Magic, where you lick some salt, take a shot, and then suck on some lime, or a lemon, many. Or you can enjoy the ritual by licking salt off someone's skin, taking the shot, and you grab the lime wedge from between their teeth. Usually you'd use tequila, some people are down with vodka, but I'm still working on finding out what a good Thedas substitute would be.
Anyway, I guess I was curious about whether body shots were one of those things that translated across worlds, because I know we sure as hell didn't have them back in the Enchanted Forest. I was also curious about whether your world - Thedas or others, for my fellow Rifters - had any fun drinking games to get into. Drinking rituals, drinking games, whatever.
And as a side note, I am also officially starting Scrabble club, at which I don't think there will be any kind of body shots, but we may have wine. I finally managed to figure out an approximate Scrabble boardish so if you like words and are anywhere from mildly to very competitive then you should totally join.

( And then a sound of quiet horror, a gasp that's almost lost to laughter. ) No, oh my God. These people deserve so much better than King's Cup. Everybody deserves so much better than King's Cup.
( Trying to sound very serious despite being very amused: ) If you promise not to introduce King's Cup to Thedas, you're in.

For the prices some places charge, I have to agree.
It's a right of passage. Everyone must play that game at least once, or your drinking life experience is just lacking. You can't appreciate the good games without it.
[ Also sounding quiet serious, but laughing beneath it all. ]
That's a very high entry fee there.

I'm not sure if I want to uphold it or be lenient, honestly.

Like I said, you have to understand the worst to appreciate the best.
[ Please, it's not like some of the things they serve aren't almost as toxic. ]
Come on, us fellow Rifters have to stick together, right?

( A moment. )
It would be pretty great to see the Inquisition all trying to stick their hands in the air as fast as they can. Maybe we can possibly introduce King's Cup.

Like I said, it's a right of passage. Everyone has to play it at least once, I say. Only then have you earned the privilege of playing the good ones, otherwise you don't appreciate them.

I am sure we can find a way to adjust it to the circumstances. That's one of the good things about King's Cup - very flexible.

Hmm, I like the way you think.

Absolutely. I mean, if there's something to go down for in Thedesian history, it should be introducing the best drinking games.
