[Rodin pauses for a moment, then throws his head back in laughter.]

It's true, they are uptight sons of bitches. Though if you ask me, an afterlife without room for a little R&R ain't much of a paradise.

[Alastor nudges Dante, then slides the shotglass away from him.]

I can think of some people who'd be fine with that kind of workaholism.

[carvemyname]

Like Vergil? He'd love to be in a place where everyone is boring like him.

[ Dante frowns at Alastor sliding the shot glass away, and tries to grab it back. ]

Heyyy, I can handle more.

[superstylishsquid]

You say that as though he's not the one with a kid. And you look like you're more ready for a nap than another drink.

[Nope, pulling the glass away, even as Rodin looks delighted.]

Didn't tell me you had a nephew. How old's the little devil?

[carvemyname]

[ Dante sits back up, looking defiant. He's going to prove he's not out of it! But then he's kind of blanking on Nero's age. ]

20-something. Not very little!

[ He leans towards Alastor. ]

Heeey, I got a secret.

[superstylishsquid]

[Alastor holds the glass further away, even as he leans in.]

I'm all ears.

[Or at least, they're several inches long. Rodin puts a hand to his chin in thought, then nods.]

Maybe he oughta pay a visit, then. Figure the grandkid of Sparda and Eva would have plenty of uses for a Devil Arm or two.

[carvemyname]

If I tell you, it won't be a secret! But maybe I can be convinced.

[ Dante then considers what Rodin said, and nods. ]

Nero likes any weapon he can get his hands on! His sword's so extra, it's all vroom... Then vroom!

[superstylishsquid]

Not if it means letting you have more when you're already three sheets to the wind.

[Alastor will be holding onto that glass, while Rodin goes back to cleaning a previously used one.]

Heh, vroom and vroom, is it? Sounds like something another of my regulars would appreciate.

[carvemyname]

Maybe he can show you how he made it!

[ Dante considers what Alastor said, then shrugs. ] Okay, I'll tell you anyway! [ He leans in close, putting his mouth near Alastor's ear and speaking low. ] I really, really like you!

[superstylishsquid]

[Okay, he's putting Dante into a playful headlock now.]

Alright, you've definitely had enough. Stating the obvious like it's a secret is where I tell you to go home.

[Rodin chuckles and flips the shelf back around to show bottles instead of profane accessories.]

Welcome to come back any time. We can work on that tolerance for the hard stuff.
