#Makoa Drowning
Text
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I decided to make a cemetery in Sulani so I bulldozed the residence on the Tangled Flat lot and made myself a Tangled Lot Cemetery. Most of the original "townie" sims from the beginning of the game have since passed and their tombstones have been placed here.
Included here are:
Alika Killer and Mele Killer (Journey's End, Lani St. Taz)
Oliana Tsunami and Leila Sand (Reef Finery, Lani St. Taz)
Paka'a Uranium (Sapphire Shores, Lani St. Taz)
Kalamainu'u Salt (Pier Perfection, Lani St. Taz)
Ukupanipo Trident (Admiral's Wreckage, Mua Pel'am)
Nalani Octopus (Admiral's Wreckage, Mua Pel'am)
Makoa Drowning (Kin-Ship, Ohan'ali Town)
Lilliana Drowning (Kin-Ship, Ohan'ali Town)
Lia Witch (Chieftain's Villa, Ohan'ali Town)
Two other long time Sulani residents, Kayla Freak (Sapphire Shores, Lani St. Taz) and Brytani Cho (Lagoon Look, Ohan'ali Town, and later Caldera Camp, Mua Pel'am) are both global superstars from Del Sol Valley and so their tombstones have been placed there.

Elia: Y’know, I’m confident you two will realize you actually have a lot in common Makoa: Like? Elia: (long silence) I’m sure you’ll find something. Makoa: Aside from mutual hatred, I can’t think of a thing.
transcript below.
Elia: …Of course I want you there. Ashton and Arielle, too. I mean, if you’d like to come. No pressure.
Kai: (Kai on speakerphone) Wow. I’m honestly fuckin’ surprised. I figured I wouldn’t make the guest list. 
Makoa: (mumbles) Me neither. 
Elia: Oh, come on. You know what you mean to me. 
Makoa: Ugh.
Elia: Plus, I figured it’s about time we drown out the bad memories with some good ones, right? 
Kai: Ah, your positivity has always been cute.
Elia: Soo.. Will you come? 
Kai: Yeah, for you. 
Elia: Great! 
Kai: Uh, I just have to ask, is he okay with this? 
Makoa: (to self) Nope.
Elia: Well, after some convincing, yeah.
Kai: (scoffs) Convincing, huh? 
Elia: I mean, it didn’t take too much..
Kai: God, that prick is so dramatic. He’s intimidated, isn’t h—
Elia: (turns off speakerphone) Kai, seriously?
Makoa: I’m what? 
Makoa: What’s he saying?! 
Makoa: Let me talk to him! 
Elia: (sushing) If we’re going to move forward, none of this. 
(unintelligible apologizing)
Elia: Actions speak louder than words. (listening) I’m trusting you. 
Elia: .. Okay. I’ll text you all the details. Talk soon. Bye. 
Makoa: You see, that’s why I didn’t want him to come! 
Elia: He didn’t know you were listening. I’m sure he wouldn’t say that to your face. 
Makoa: He knows if he did I’d  —
Elia: Beat him up, throw him off the earth. I know. (sighs) You two.
Makoa: That man baby starts it, I’m telling you! 
Makoa: Always has something to say! He won’t be able to go one second without me in his mouth. (abruptly) My name in his mouth!
Elia: I think I’m going to run off and let you two get married instead. 
Makoa: I’d rather drop dead. 
Elia: Ugh, I get it. You hate each other! Just try to be mature! That’s all I ask. 
Makoa: Don’t worry about me. It’s him. He —
Elia: Enough. I have flowers to tend to. 
Makoa: You haven’t even eaten! 
Elia: I lost my appetite.
Makoa: Because you’re annoyed?
Elia: Teetering on stress and irritation, yeah. 
Makoa: Angel.. (sighs) I’m sorry. 
Elia: (voice softens) You’re fine. There’s just a lot going on. 
Makoa: I don’t mean to add to it.. Try to take it easy, for both you and baby. 
Makoa: We’re close to the finish line! 
Makoa: Everything will work out fine. I promise. Even if it means me.. Befriending the beast. 
Elia: Y’know, I’m confident you two will realize you actually have a lot in common. 
Makoa: Like?
Elia: (long silence) I’m sure you’ll find something.
Makoa: Aside from mutual hatred, I can’t think of a thing.

General and Off-Season hcs with the Legends part 1
[I decided to split this into two parts, since it’s so big - cheesy]
Bangalore
Anita would love it if you joined her to train. Being a weapons expert also means you get a lot of handy tips from her. And maybe an excuse for her to be close to you while fixing your arm position, or grasp on the grip.
Anita also like to check out different bars and spend time there. She’s not always there to drink- she likes the ambience too (as long as it’s not at the Paradise Lounge). Anita can spend a good chunk of time sitting in a corner and reading news, doing research, and writing detailed notes on how to improve during fights in the arena. She wouldn’t admit it right away, but having you join her while she winds down at bars would be nice.
Good company is everything, and reminds Anita of her late nights while working for the IMC. So having you around keeps her grounded, and feeling good.
Bloodhound
Bloodhound always uses the off-season as time to spend in nature. They’d take you with them into a heavily forested area to hike, camp, and track native fauna for fun.
If you also happen to be into nature, they’ll feel comfortable going off the beaten path and traversing more dangerous territory. They like a challenge, and might make a game to get to a waypoint quickly. It spices things up. But don’t worry, they’re patient with you.
If you’re the city type however, Bloodhound will be more careful and guide you every step of the way. They’ll take your hand when climbing up a big rock, or catch you when you slide down a hill. They may joke around with you a bit, pointing out little bugs or harmless prey to tease you.
At night, watching the stars are a must. Pulling you close, they’ll feel satisfied with the trek, and impressed with you.
Caustic
Caustic’s got several laboratories scattered wherever the Games go- currently Solace and Talos. So resting? He’s never heard it. It’s always Experiments Time on his watch. Join him as he creates and works on new and improved destructive vapours.
If your background is in science, he will value your opinion, as long as it aligns with his. He’s a tough man to impress, but if you show him you’re on his side, he’ll feel that much more trusting.
If you don’t have a science background, you can still be useful. Reminding him to eat, or sleep will definitely go right over his head, but he will remember it. Knowing you care about him makes him curious.
If you manage to get him away from his work for a few moments to see him, he’ll be annoyed, but you’re less bothersome than the other Legends...
Crypto
Despite being in the Games as a public figure, Crypto still prefers to spend his down time away from the public. It’s an old habit. It’ll probably be at your place. He’s still not comfortable sharing more than he needs to.
The perfect night in consists of takeout, movies, video games, and hacking.
Crypto is often working on improving his drone, Hack. If you’re feeling cooped up in your home, he’ll ask you to run off in some kind of hide and seek game. He can test any progress while you play. You haven’t won- yet. But one of these days...
He gets real stubborn if you remind him of who he used to be. He buried Tae Joon so he could get a new start. It just wasn’t the kind he wanted. Just be sweet with him about it. He might get a bit bashful.
Gibraltar
Makoa is the kind of person who makes the most of his time off from the Games. His schedule looks like: strolls around the city, sightseeing, trying new restaurants, and meeting people. Makoa is a people person, so he loves having conversations with random people or fans he sees outside of the Games. Please join him. He’d love to boast about you.
Makoa also does volunteering with S.A.R.A.S. during off-season. He would absolutely love you if you joined him. Nothing like you and him, saving the world together! He’d be so happy to have you stick around. You can see the heart eyes on this man.
He’s an honest guy, but sometimes he can also have doubts that he keeps to himself. If Gibraltar isn’t happy, then how can others be? Off-season is also his reflection period. And knowing he can lean on you for support means the world to him.
Lifeline
Ajay is a homebody. She may be the heart of the squad she is in, but she also likes to have time where she can relax and stay in.
That said, if you show up at her door with food, drinks, and a good time, she’ll always be welcoming. She’ll set up a speaker and you can play your shared playlist. It also drowns out Octane’s voice, which is a plus.
Ajay enjoys playing board games. She has at least ten in her home. She can get incredibly worked up over Scrabble, Settlers of Catan, The Awkward Storyteller, and Jenga. There will be yelling, laughing, and lots of competition- it’s all part of the fun for her.
Ajay also likes watching documentaries on her down time. She isn’t picky, she enjoys learning. Snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and snacks, and you’ve got a sweet hour of education ahead.
Loba
Stealing? During the off-season? It’s more likely than you think! And Loba would be pleased to have you join in on her heists. It’s fun to have an accomplice she can trust, and all the more pleasant if it’s you.
Loba also knows the importance of beauty rest. You don’t look this good without it. When not taking shiny trinkets, or planning an outing, you can bet Loba will be sleeping in, taking her time getting ready, and lounging around her place.
Her definition of rest includes trying out makeup, painting her nails, and redoing her closet together. It’d be good to have a second opinion of a lover, so she’d try on all her clothes and show off to you. Loba likes all the compliments.
She’ll understand makeovers aren’t your cup of tea. At the very least, she’ll ask you what colour or design her nails should be for the evening.

Desert Island Challenge 🌴
Penelope continues, disappointed. Suddenly she sees the one spot on the beach where she almost drowned and Makoa saved her life. She remembers that night! She fell asleep on an air mattress and fell drunk into the water. That was her first encounter with Makoa. At that time she would never have thought that he was the one, the one she fell madly in love with. "Oh man, that was so embarrassing back then, so completely drunk and half drowned in the sea!" Penelope remembers.

seaside au rambling, gibraltar lore
one day, when he was younger, he and his boyfriend nikolas stole his father’s jet ski for a joyride on the waves late at night. when, unexpectedly, the water grew more aggressive, swallowing them both whole and overturning the ski. makoa saved nikolas, who had broken his leg when it made contact with the falling jet ski. he held onto the ski for as long as he could, as it was the only support they had but eachother. both of them, half drowned, shouted for help, which wasn’t too far behind. his father rode in and whisked them both to safety. he and nik knew, from this point, that they needed to take themselves more seriously, or they could get hurt. nikolas made a quick recovery, but, due to complications, they split up. makoa hasn’t seen him in a while, yet he wishes him only the best. he’s come to terms with this, and has made himself a new home with his dear friends, the legends. he would do anything to protect them, as he would, endlessly, nikolas.

Enjoy lagoon views and ice cold drinks in the hot sun and dance the night away on the back porch and the marina docks - just try not to fall in the lagoon!
LOCAL TIP: We realize that yes, Mister Kealoha is handsome. Criminally so, some may say. We also realize that the hashtags #HubbyGoals and #ManCrushMonday were most likely inspired by him, and that he should play every romantic lead ever put on stage or in cinema, ever. But we hate to break it to you, ladies (and gentlemen) - he’s happily married, and in a frustrating turn of events, she’s absolutely lovely and they’re blissfully happy and they have a sweetheart of a son and a freaking adorable dog and it’s just so darn infuRIATING--
Ahem. So please, try to avoid sexually harassing him during your visit to Koko Krab Tiki Bar. It’s beginning to get a little out of hand.

Cybernetic Burn
I realized I never posted this, so I thought why not now
The sun was nearly set as Selene stumbled down the sidewalk towards the Paradise Lounge, its neon sign glowing through the haze of the late afternoon downpour. They were curled in on themselves, arms held tight against their own chest, feet finding a twisting line towards the front door of the bar. Their shoulder met someone else’s hard, but they didn’t stop to apologize, their head hurt too much to form words as the person cursed at them and kept walking. The headaches weren’t a new thing, they had woken up with a soft tapping behind their eyes over a week ago, and by now it had become a full blown banging that had enveloped their entire skull. They pushed open the front door roughly, barely catching a “watch it” from a patron who pushed past them out into the rain. The music was still pounding inside, making their ears ache as they maneuvered their way to the end of the bar. Despite the drudgery outside the place was still packed, it was an Apex Legends hang out after all, owned by the charismatic Elliot Witt, people flocked there to get drunk with the rich and famous.
The bouncer to the VIP lounge barely looked at Selene as they slipped past into the back, his name was Garrus but he mostly went by Bear, and he knew Selene and the other legends by a first name basis. The music was a bit more bearable in the lounge, and the company was more to their taste. It was much sparser than the public area, red couches beneath changing RGB lights and gauzy curtains, low tables with a spread of booze and frankly a lot of personal belongings; it was more like a clubhouse for the Legends. Elliot was working this bar tonight, something he did when the public bar was too overwhelming, he liked talking and he liked mixing, and since most of the customers were his friends he got to do a lot of both.
Selene sat at the end of the bar beside the emergency exit which was barely obscured by the drapery that decorated the walls, at the other end Renee swirled a martini, while Elliot laughed at something Makoa had said as he mixed a new drink. Selene slumped onto a stool, pulling their hood away from their head and pressing their fingertips into their eye sockets, it almost felt like their brain was on fire at this point, and it had been that way since about midday. Ajay had checked them out on request, but insisted that she didn’t find anything, and tried to give them some sort of relief, but the drugs didn’t work. It was Natalie who had asked if maybe it was something to do with their cybernetics, if maybe it was the electronics sending pain signals and not their organic material. They had meant to look into it, but that was when the real pain had hit and they hadn’t had the energy to do much of anything. It was why they were here tonight, at the bar with Elliot instead of at home trying to hide from the pain beneath a comforter. Maybe all they needed was a drink.
“I thought you were staying home tonight,” as if on cue Elliot pulled them from their thoughts as they squinted up at him.
“I was but—“ they chewed their lip as they rubbed at their eyes again, the lighting was starting to get to them.
“Drink some water yeah? You look sick,” his voice was soft, nothing but concern as he moved to take a glass from beneath the bar.
“No, I don’t need water, I need—“ they paused again, pressing their fingertips into their temples “something strong please,” they muttered.
They heard Elliot sigh “it’s not good for—“
“Elliot,” their voice sounded like two sheets of sandpaper rubbing together as they took his hand in theirs “please,” they pressed, making full eye contact with him.
Elliot searched their eyes for something, what they weren’t sure, but after a moment he sighed and looked away “alright, but just one, and if it doesn’t work I’ll take you home, got it?”
Selene forced a smile, they knew he loved them and was looking out for them, and despite the want to climb over the bar and get their damn drink themselves, they still loved him for that. They let his hand go as he went to fetch a bottle, they glanced down the bar from under the palm of their hand which they kept above their eyes to shade them from the intense light. Renee raised her glass with a nod before returning her gaze to a blank spot on the wall, something she did often, Selene always wondered what she was seeing when she did that. Elliot returned with two shot glasses, and filled them to the top with a dark grey liquid.
“What’s this?” They asked as their shaking fingers took hold of the first glass.
Elliot took the other, they hadn’t expected him to drink with them, but they were beyond fighting it now.
“Don’t ask, brace yourself,” he said clinking his glass with theirs.
They chuckled as they watched him down it, but as they moved to bring the shot to their lips something snapped. It was like a spark had been lit in a room full of gasoline behind their eyes. Selene jerked in their seat, dropping the glass and letting it shatter on the ground as they groped at their face. They made a choked gasping noise as they felt their stomach toss and heard their name being called. They felt their shoulder hit the ground with a crack as their nails dug into their forehead, the music playing from the speakers now sounded far away, drowned out by a sickening howling sound.
Selene could feel their fingernails catch on the seams where false skin met flesh, and they couldn’t stop themselves from tearing at it, the soft suction of squishy synthetic skin peeling away from metal as they tried to pry open their maintenance port. Wires ran between scarred flesh and hard warm metal, a network of organic and mechanical material working together to keep Selene whole. There was a proper way to access where their bone had been replaced with metal, a way to deactivate artificial nerves which ran to organic nerves, but instead they tore like a wild animal. Their mind was alight with one phrase which they were desperate to prove wrong you are going to die, you are going to die, you are going to die.
In the next moment they felt hands on them, pulling them from where they had collapsed against the bar to face the sky, their wrists were seized and for a moment they felt utter terror grip them. Images of the Hammond lab they had awoken in, years after they had fallen into their coma after a Titan accident, echoed through their panicked mind. Masked faces and gloved hands, water choking their lungs as they were forced back into a coma, tubes shoved down their throat as they attempted to plead for their life. They hadn’t realized they were shrieking until they heard Elliot as they took another breath.
“Please Selene, stop it,” his voice broke harshly.
They tried to force their eyes open, to see him, but the lights were still too bright, they clamped their eyelids shut as they turned away from them, arms trying to come up in order to shield themselves from the pain, but someone was holding them. They struggled with stiff arms and legs but hands held fast against their wrists.
“Someone is in their head,” they heard Tae Joon to their left, and wondered where he had come from.
“What do you mean?” A strained voice came from directly behind them, so close it made their head spin in confusion. It was then they realized they were in Makoa’s lap, and he was the one holding their arms.
“Please!” They cried, forming words for the first time since they had hit the ground “Please, please, please, stop it!” Their voice peaked as they tried to struggle again.
Selene gasped for air as if they were drowning on dry land, throwing their weight against Makoa’s chest and kicking out their legs towards Elliot. It felt like someone had injected their veins with acid, a searing feeling that began to spread down their left arm, they let out a pained wail again as Makoa shifted and they felt a new hand on their bare shoulder. It was then that the familiar burn of an improperly disconnected nerve ending being stretched away from their cybernetics made them jerk further into Makoa’s side. They gasped for air again, but this time they were sure they were going to vomit.
The next thought Selene had was of how tired they were. Their throat was raw and painful as they swallowed with a dry mouth, their eyelids felt as if they had been glued together, their ears felt full of water. They pulled a hand up to their face, rubbing at their eyes as they attempted to force them open, and despite their disorientation at the very least they knew that the pain had stopped. Finally they saw light, this time it was dim, a soft blue glow at their side as they tried to orient themselves. Finally after what felt like hours, they pried open their eyelids and blinked. They looked down at where they had been laid, finding the dark blue comforter of their bed, and for half a moment they wondered if they had dreamed it all.
“Hey,” the voice startled them from their stupor, their head snapping to the left to find Tae hunched over a small screen by their bedside. It was then they saw their left arm was outstretched and resting on a small table, the synthetic skin of their inside wrist having been opened to their elbow, and the maintenance port beneath it opened as well. Three thin wires were connected to ports beneath the small metal hatch disappeared off the side of the bed before reappearing connected to Tae’s laptop.
“How do you feel?” He asked after he let them adjust to their new situation.
“Tired.”
He hummed a response as his eyes darted back to the small screen in front of him.
“Where’s Elliot?” They asked hoarsely.
Tae looked up again, before nodding towards them, and it took much longer than they would have liked to admit to realize he was gesturing past them. Beside them in bed Elliot was curled up on top of the blankets, still dressed for work, his forehead pressed against their bare shoulder. They reached up with their free hand, pressing their palm to his cheek, focusing on the feeling of his breath against their skin. They closed their eyes again and sighed.
“You have to rest, Natalie and I are keeping an eye on your cybernetics, Ajay is on call in the kitchen if you need any medical attention. You’re safe.”
He said it so earnestly, making sure he had eye contact with them as he said it. That was something about Tae Joon, even if he was secretive and quiet, when he did speak they could tell he was speaking the truth.

This... *clears throat* Makoa went late night swimming near the Hodges house and froze/drowned to death. For some reason the way he died or where he died glitched death and I couldn’t save or do anything for the longest time. So I had to reset his body and deaths and I think that somehow unkilled him because when I looked at the NPC families to see who had, had babies lately he was alive but no longer married to his wife. So he died and then undied...

A Disaster of a Birthday Party
While she was out voting on community action plans, Octavia ran into the young (and wealthy) Geoffrey Landgraab.
Tumblr media
To her surprise, he invited her to his upcoming birthday party! What a great place to meet some new people and hopefully make some friends; her old mate from college, Makoa, had moved to Sulani just recently with his wife and newborn, so she had been feeling somewhat lonely.
She got all dolled up for the big event.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, Geoffrey Landgraab did not hold his party at one of his fine estates. Instead, they were directed to a dive bar in Strangeville and crammed into a room that smelled of old peanuts and beer. The guest list was hopping though -- several celebrities made a brief appearance to wish the birthday boy well!
Tumblr media
Octavia also met one of Geoffrey’s distant friends, an activist named Dustin. They chatted for a bit and even watched some clouds outside to get out of the bar stench.

But in the end, when Octavia mustered up the nerve to offer her number to him, he just looked somewhat annoyed and returned to his friends for another round of beers. 
Octavia went home and drowned her sorrows with some cooking. The food at the party had been awful anyway.

Can’t remember if this was asked before but what is every champions favourite type of alcoholic drink? Specific to each champion? Even the non humans lol
Hello, it is I, your resident alcoholic at your service. Now, this would show stuff like bad drinking habits, so a disclaimer/warning: drink responsibly. I mean it. If you drink for the first few times, always drink with someone you trust!! 
I’m sorry for my inactivity, thesis has been very time-grabbing. It’s done now, so here I am! 
- Mod Ash 
Makoa: He has this specific recipe for a scorpion bowl cocktail he likes. It is not that alcoholic, but he likes sitting by the beach or by the view of a forest while he finishes his drink. Drinking time is mostly for himself, and to think about the day while he unwinds and enjoys a smooth cocktail. 
Fernando: Wine, definitely. Helps him sleep. He makes his own sangria with fruits and all if he’s feeling fancy, and he drinks it like it’s just juice, with ice and straw and all. He can drink this in broad daylight and he will act like it’s iced tea. 
Ruckus: He doesn’t drink much. But when he does, he sticks to brandy, as it’s smooth, but hits hard fast. Though he would rather drink with company, so he just kinda does forced small talk with Bolt as he drowns his sorrows away.
Barik: He has a large batch of fruit punch in his refrigerator that he refills his jug with. He sneakily adds more wine before stashing it away. He drinks it like anyone would iced tea, and he is very protective and possessive of his stash. His liking of the spiked fruit punch is a little concerning, but they value their lives over a sip of it. 
Ash: Vodka. She will stare you at the eye while she drinks it straight from the bottle. Also whiskey. She won’t care if it’s expensive, if she likes it, she will finish the bottle in one go. She has a high alcohol tolerance, which sort of lets her drink as she please when she’s bummed…. which is often. 
Torvald: Doesn’t drink a lot, so he sticks to spiked versions of non-alcoholic drinks, like a spiked iced tea or ginger ale. He often drinks with friends, but he does like staying sober, so he sticks to small ratios of the alcohol with the rest of the drink. 
Inara: Dislikes drinking. May have tried those blended 3% stuff that tastes like softdrinks or lemonade once, but she also didn’t like the taste of that. Will drink lemonade or fruit juice when everyone else is drinking. A lot of people have fooled her into drinking fruit punch with wine in them but it nothing happened.
Drogoz: Rum. The darker the rum, the better. Will add random crap to it to make it “spicier,” and to some people, his drinks will taste like alcoholic hot sauce. He doesn’t mind, he doesn’t really like people drinking his stuff, anyway. 
Bomb King: He can’t drink any human drink. However, he likes fooling people with drinking oil or something similar, or just chugging plain water down his robot gullet. 
Cassie: A good, classic blended Cosmopolitan. She likes it so much that she often buys non-alcoholic, powdered iced tea versions of it, which she drinks almost all the time. Sugar gets her going, if not an amazing cocktail.
Lian: Also wine, however she’s slightly pickier with her wine. She will only drink wine that is at least five years old, and will often opt for slightly sweeter variants like fruit wine. She drinks way too often for it to be healthy, however. 
Kinessa: Doesn’t drink much. However, when she does, she opts for sweeter stuff, like honey mead. When she’s not drinking, she’d immediately get any kind of coffee, no matter the kind or blend or if it has sugar or not. Coffee mead is a dangerous drink for her. 
Sha Lin: Classic brandy! He drinks it sometimes while reading or doing something passive before he goes to bed, as something to help him sleep. He doesn’t drink much outside the house, he likes being extra and drinking while in a bathtub with soaks. 
Viktor: He will go straight for really cheap gin that tastes like rubbing alcohol. He got too used to it and now he can’t drink anything else. He drinks half a bottle when he’s staying up late, then drinks the rest when he gets home. 
Tyra: She thinks she’s more refined, with her choices being scotch and very specific whiskey. When she orders a dry martini (or anything), she will make up hilariously specific instructions like “stir it for ten seconds while glancing at an unopened bottle” or “kiss the lemon peel before you garnish it on the glass.” 
Willo: The cuter the drink and the sweeter it is, the better, no matter what it is. She will sometimes shove novelty store toys in her drink, and will add fruit juices or food color to strong drinks to at least make it look a cuter color. Sure, her additions may not change the taste of her drink, but it will make the experience better. 
Evie: She does not really care about her drink, whether it is alcoholic or not. She will probably add vodka to everything to give it a kick, mostly when she feels like it. She’s taken a liking to hard lemonades.
Skye: Surprisingly does not drink much, however she would surprise people with drinking heavy drinks without breaking a sweat or getting close to drunk. It’s a useful skill to have. When she’s off-duty she prefers being sober, and only drinks flavored beer to get her tired enough to sleep. 
Androxus: He likes trying to get himself as wasted as possible. It is becoming quite a challenge. However being cursed gave him different tastebuds too, so he would often drink tons of Long Island iced teas before he feels something. He never gets as drunk as he wishes but getting closer is satisfying enough. 
Buck: He’s a huge fan of ginger ale mixed with beer! He often doesn’t really like to get drunk, as alcoholism is a thing he is trying to avoid and change. He wears off his alcoholism by changing the ratio everyday, and it works out fine for him. Eventually he just uses iced teas and lemonades as substitute for his everyday beer. 
Maeve: She does not drink much, however will not turn down a drink offered to her. However, she still prefers stealing her liquor, and she once got in trouble once for stealing a bottle of ceremonial wine and drinking it all in one go. 
Zhin: Likes more “exotic” or “local” variants of his liquor, like sake or arrack. He has a very bad alcohol tolerance despite his drinking frequency, and often drinks in places he shouldn’t be drunk in, which gets worse when he’s upset about something. 
Lex: He likes a good old fashioned best. If ever, he usually opts for simpler drinks like gin and tonic or a martini. He thinks buying liquor in places that isn’t a bar is blasphemy and he will judge you for it. He is also very specific with the way his martini is prepared.
Mal’Damba: He likes expensive drinks a lot, because he doesn’t really partake in alcoholic drinks often. His favorite is a penicillin cocktail with this very expensive scotch with very fancy ice and stuff, and it would take him two hours to finish one because he would spend the time thinking. 
Pip: He would usually accidentally drink his own concoctions when he’s too tired. Sometimes it doesn’t do much, sometimes it does make him dizzy. He once accidentally mixed beer with one of his potions and it became a quick favorite of his, but he has no idea of its side effects. He will find out in ten years probably. 
Grover: Liquor is bad for trees. He was once watered with whiskey. When offered he would take lemonade or juice. He’s surprisingly not picky and wold take anything offered to him, even though it is probably not the best idea. After getting “drunk” he would fall asleep faster, so he would usually “drink” if he’s about to hibernate. 
Grohk: Will drink anything. Will eat anything. Sadly, he gets too drunk when he drinks too much. Lately he has taken a liking to Irish coffees, which does numbers to his energy and his posture. It is still not a good idea to have him drink, especially if it is coffee and liquor at the same time. 
Seris: Wine? Wine. She likes the aesthetic. It doesn’t do much for her, however, she just drinks it around people to look cool or to intimidate. She definitely likes the taste is becoming a connoisseur herself. When alone, she’d opt for a harder whiskey or stronger wines. It doesn’t do anything, but she can always pretend. 
Ying: Usually sticks to mudshakes because they’re sweet and barely alcoholic. It’s 10% alcohol but it doesn’t matter. She also likes whiskey cakes and other alcoholic desserts in lieu of a drink, because oftentimes she just doesn’t feel like looking like she went through seven hells, she has to look cute while de-stressing. 
Jenos: He would “drink” that futuristic alcohol air from a bottle, because he thinks drinking is all about the experience and having fun with it. He just goes on to find more absurd ways of getting drunk, somewhat not realizing he probably won’t get close to tipsy. 
Strix: He is still a bit of a country man, so he still favors moonshine. But not just any moonshine. Moonshine cherries. He likes moonshine-soaked fruit. Moonshine-anything. He doesn’t have the tolerance for it, however. 
Talus: He’s a child for Christ’s sake, he’s not drinking. He just likes fruit juice and hot chocolate maybe. Some others did try to hand him beer, though, with… catastrophic results. I’ll leave you to guess what happened. 
Terminus: “Do I still give a crap,” he says, as he finishes a bottle of absinthe. Does he still care? He doesn’t. He will drink the entire bottle if he wants, nothing will happen, it’s just like water to him. What do you expect, he’s a rock person. 
Vivian: She likes drinking, but she doesn’t like getting drunk, so she usually just sticks to a rum and coke. She would change the ratio of run and cola depending on how annoyed she is with everyone around her. 
Moji: She doesn’t really drink much, however she’s down for a mean milkshake. The wilder the better. Would often add stuff that’s not really supposed to belong there, like syrup, or food coloring, or charcoal. 
Khan: He has a flask of… stuff hidden in his armor somewhere. What is in it? Even he doesn’t know. He usually fills it with something and fill it up with something else the next day without cleaning it out, resulting in a weird new cocktail everyday that he will chug in public without shame.

This is Nani Drowning, she was a toddler when the game started because she's one of the sims that comes with the Sulani pack. Her original name was Nani Kealoha.
Used to be she lived here with her parents, Makoa and Lilliana, both of whom have since passed. Duane Curse (Duane Talla) also lived here for a time when he was a teenager, but he moved out when he reached adulthood.
After her parents passed, Nani lived here alone for quite a while. I recently had her move out and move in with Tane Tsunami, who are part of the same polyamorous polycule with the other inhabitants at Lani St. Taz.
