Magic's Pawn Drinking Game!

One drink when:
-Vanyel thinks, "Oh, gods!" in despair.
-Vanyel thinks, "No one cares about me."
-Vanyel cries. (Two if he cries himself to sleep).
-Vanyel has a nightmare. (CHUG if the resultant angst gets him laid).

Two drinks when:
-Two or more adults spend a mealtime talking about Vanyel.
-Somebody observes that Vanyel is broken inside. (These wounds, they will not heeeaaaal)
-Savil collects another gay male friend.
-Somebody's eyes change color according to mood.
-Somebody swoons.
-Vanyel has a prophetic dream about the climax of the third book.
-Every character in the story hovers anxiously around Vanyel's Bed of Pain, even those who dislike him and whose presence serves no function.
-Vanyel's "channels" are described as "raw" from having been "blasted open." (NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK)

Three drinks when:
-Somebody has a magickal seizure.
-Somebody commits suicide.
-Somebody slits their wrists but is saved at the last minute.
-Vanyel's grief makes the castle shake.

Chug the rest of the can when:

-Vanyel gets his wizard on. (Add another drink for each Talent discovered beyond the usual one or two present in a Mage). **NOTE: You automatically lose the game if you pass out before the list is complete!**
-Vanyel's magic does NOT render him unconscious or emotionally devastated.
-Vanyel takes any decisive action.
-Any sympathetic character observes that Vanyel is not the center of their universe.

  1. Is it okay if I substitute Vanyel with Peter from 'Heroes'?

  2. Heheheh. I knew there had to be a reason to read those books. Now I just need some vodka. (Hell, it might make Anne McCaffrey tolerable. Blurrier, at least.)
