Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I only set my a** on finest fur okay? I also like to sprawl, bear fur's big enough for that. This ******** bear put up one hell of a fight, it's one of my favourites." He opened the bottle and took a sip, smirking over it at Al. "It's Absinthe. The green ******** fairy. Strong as ********, but worth it. It tastes..sort of like the s**t you put on your teeth when you have a toothache smells. Toothache tincture. But its ******** delicious."

He held it out obligingly.

"It was at the time, I've been in the Arctic more since then, there isn't much to do there but hunt things other than monsters for the time being. So polar bears get it. I got a seal too, though those are a lot ******** harder to catch before they slide back into the water." he shrugged.

Al got an encouraging smirk as he took a drink of the Absinthe, taking the bottle back and setting it down to resume on the whisky. "Mixing your drinks gets you drunk faster." It was also pretty risky, but at this point, risk was practically his middle name.

Rep smirked as the buzz of alcohol really started to kick in and lay back on the fur. "Aye man. You could try. If Melvin was able to fight a bear, you'd be ******** able to yourself. It's no that hard."

He raised a brow at the ceiling at Al's comment on how he knew everything. "That I can say is pretty stubbornly no true. My life experience and s**t was all wrong." His brain slowly waved a flag for his attention to remind him who he was talking to. "But. Well. I learned a whole ******** lot since I was younger. I owe it to people to pass it on right? You could use the manliness."

"Sure, don't see why not." he said with a shrug, probably the first indicator that he might have been relinquishing his sobriety, normally that would have been way too close. "It's the best." He clenched his hands in the deep fur approvingly. "Did you know the hairs are clear? If you look really ******** close."

He thoughtfully eyed the ceiling, randomly realising this had been Harrison's room before he'd even known him and musing he'd probably looked at the same ceiling quite a lot too. "Well I guess it's my job to keep you straight and s**t like, man. Like I'll beat the s**t out of you when you veer into being a woman or pansy or anything. Make sure you don't like, ******** up."

"Well it's no really. It's cool when you can seeee it." he took another swig of the absinthe and made a sound of approval. "Oh and naw you won't be as manly as me." he ruffled Al's hair. "When they made me they broke the ******** mould. But you can try and be as manly as like, other people. You can get close. At least you can make sure you aren't some kind of ******** woman."

He patted the fur. "I was gettin' you off on the right foot. A real man sleeps in a ********' mancave on the skins of his enemies.."

Rep was remembering why he kept Al around, his admiration almost enough to convince him he was worthy of it. He could bask in the ego stroking without guilt and pretend he really was as awesome as Al thought. "It's a ******** worthy goal." he said, rolling onto his own side with a feline sort of laziness. "But no an easy one, I've got a lot of s**t behind me man, you've no even got puberty fully behind you yet." Another sip and he was really starting to feel muzzy.

He looked around. "I dunno, its no too manly yet. Just furs. I mean, the guy who lived here is super ******** manly so you've got an advantage right off the bat, but you need to keep it that way. Tidiness is for women too, you want a bit of like..mess and stuff. You want the place to smell like you."

Rep eyed Al and tried to imagine him as a proper adult - maybe one day he'd be properly hairy. His hair was dark and his skin was light, he could end up like Jerry but hopefully less..knobbly. "Oh aye, I'm no sh..saying you won't man. Just you've got that ahead of you right now."

He remembered he had a dog weapon and grinned, well then, that would certainly help out. "Just listen to Nuru as far as keeping this place good and proper. Dogs know their scents and s**t, I'm sure as you get more things it'll get even easier."

"You'll git it with wages and s**t man. But the main kind of guy you want to be at the end of the day ish an alive one."
