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.

[ She couldn't help but be amused at that, and it showed in her voice. But she hasn't gotten used to other worlds, either, so she isn't surprised. ]

Well, I am from earth, I'm french. But I've been in Canada for work.

Oh, really? I always wanted to go to France. I'm— definitely a small town kinda gal, though. What do you do?

( It's such a strangely mundane sort of conversation to be having with someone when, really, you've both fallen into another world. )

[petitchiot]

It's a beautiful place.

[ A pause, explaining her job would be... troublesome, to put it simply. So she gives her the same lie she has pulled before. ]

I'm doctor. I have a family practice. You?

[ In a way she loves how simple the conversation is. No mages, magic, or other strange things, just a simple conversation. ]

Oh, awesome. ( So smart, presumably less lecherous than Whale. Good guy, but so sleazy. ) I help run my Granny's diner. Waitress by day, barmaid by night... not quite on par with being a doctor.

Here I help out one of the healers, though. Research, gathering herbs, making bad jokes, all the good stuff.

Every job has it's difficulties, I'm not sure I'd be able to handle some of rude costumers you must have dealt with.

I've helped in passing, but I'm looking into settling with them.

[ Seeing as she just recently accepted that she isn't coming back. ]
