Warnings: Drunk people, swearing, ill-advised people hitting each other with sticks, questionable food, drunken cuddles and crying, etc, etc tbc when there's more




Welcome to Islet 2! There are many reasons for you to be here right now. Maybe you live here. Maybe you're visiting someone who lives here. Maybe you've been invited to this sick party by one of the above idiots. Maybe you were just passing by and got dragged into the festivities. Who cares, really? You're here now!

Out in front of Cottage 1 there's the beautiful banner that you see above hanging on the outside, lovingly crafted by one of the twins. The twins have also lovingly crafted some vodka using magic and potatoes. Potato magic. And hey! There's also stuff that the twins cooked! Like potato tornadoes, fried shark genitals and Fantasy Kentucky Fried Pterax! And other food! And there's a fire! And activities! And drinking!

Mainly drinking. In fact, there is a large cooking pot that, at the moment, is full of the most moonshine-iest vodka you have ever had. There are empty halves of coconut shells to serve as cups, as well as some clay cups that may or may not have come from an interesting source. So help yourself! Who knows how long it'll last, considering the amount of guests. Heck! It might even be repurposed later, after all the vodka is gone! So drink up.

Anyway, feel free to join in on the festivities! There will be several threads for activities where people can mingle, or you can start your own. Have a party, chill out, and/or imbibe ill-advised substances to try and forget that you died. Wheeeee!

['Blackberry whiskey', hun? He's not a big drinker - or at least to the extent that some people here seem to be - but it couldn't hurt to try.]

Sure.

[Let's see if it can actually manage to break his poker face.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Muffet fills a wooden cup and hands it to him.]

Here you go, dearie.

[If he takes a drink, he'll find that it does indeed taste quite pleasantly of blackberries. And that it is also very impressively alcoholic. Spiders apparently do not fuck around when it comes to whiskey.]

[unpurify]

[He takes the cup from Muffet with a nod. Okay, down the hatch.

And wow that sure is whiskey. It is good because the blackberries balance it out but at the same time it still makes him cough in surprise. Congratulations Muffet, it was enough for him to actually express some emotion.]

...it is good.

[He just needs a second.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[She's choosing to take this as a positive sign.]

Why thank you. I'll be around for the rest of the evening, should you care for any more.

[Surprisingly, if he's paying attention to that kind of thing, the Batter may notice that while the whiskey is intoxicating, it also seems to have restored some of his HP. Magic food- and drink- is fun like that.]

[unpurify]

[She found the 1% in the otherwise 99.9% unemotional jerk, so it is a very positive sign.

And since his world is fairly meta on that concept the Batter does notice. Well isn't that interesting.]

It healed me.

[A fairly strange thing for a healing item but he'll take it.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

Oh, yes- monster food does that, since it's magical in nature. Happily, this means no worrying about a hangover the next day, although you should still try to drink responsibly the night before.

[Honestly, dude, is it the weirdest thing you've ever gotten from an item vendor? Compared to all that Flesh of God-Only-Knows-What that Zacharie kept selling, Weird Magic Whiskey being a healing item seems pretty tame.]

[unpurify]

[It's actually due to Zacharie and his merchant shenanigans that this is weird. Having spent his time getting bits of flesh, tickets and eyeballs off the guy and that being the norm, a simple cup of magic whiskey is pretty out there but equally useful.]

Yes, I will. [Or not but the Batter doesn't know what's coming.] How does it work?

[Teach him your ways, magical spider lady.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

Hmm... The most straightforward answer is that one infuses the food with green magic, either while growing and cultivating the ingredients or during the cooking process, but I'm not sure how to explain green magic to people who aren't familiar with it.

[It's a little like explaining color to someone who's never been able to see.]

[unpurify]

It's not. But I think I understand.

[It's an interesting thought though, 'green' magic.]

Why 'green'?

[Is it simply just the name assigned to that particular type of magic or is there another reason?]</small

[prettypurpleparlor]

Ah, we classify our magic by the color it appears as, each color representing a different virtue and set of abilities.

[Muffet explains with the ease of one who has had this conversation more than once since arriving on the island.]

Green is the magic of shielding and healing, for the virtue of kindness. Since food is meant to nourish, healing magic works quite well with it naturally, when one wishes to infuse something into it.

[unpurify]

[The color makes sense. Green was often associated with life, growing grass and the sun feeding it. Crops and harvests.

He nods.]

I see. It is interesting.

[It actually reminds the Batter of Zone 1, the place where the Elements were produced. Everything there was green until he purified it.]

What are the other ones?

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Muffet has always been rather curious by nature, and she enjoys talking about her people and their culture, so she doesn't see anything wrong with answering his questions.]

Very basic magic, the kind we all can do, comes out white. The more advanced skills have seven colors, all told- red, orange, gold, cyan, green, blue, and purple.

[unpurify]

[Learning more and more about each world that those who arrived here often made clear the sheer differences between his and theirs. The Batter's Competences, for example, were not colored like the magic in Muffet's world. They just were.]

And they all do different things?

[...he normally doesn't play 20 questions but he's also tipsy. He'll stop in a bit.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Honestly, she wouldn't mind hearing about his own world, but she wouldn't ask if he didn't offer, for politeness' sake.]

Yes, precisely. To use another example, blue magic has the virtue of integrity, and allows one to control gravity.
