Soul Drinking Game + Cocktail
Drink every time Joe Gardner almost gets his big break — and then doesn't.
The Rules
- Sip — Joe plays jazz piano and his fingers move with visible love across the keys
- Sip — 22 complains about the pointlessness of human experience with deadpan nihilism
- Sip — The Great Before mentors appear as abstract line-based floating figures
- Sip — Joe's soul body flickers in the You Seminar whenever his attention drifts to Earth
- Sip — Dorothea Williams gives Joe a single long cool appraising look before speaking
- Drink Twice — Joe's soul accidentally inhabits the body of a therapy cat at the hospital
- Drink Twice — 22 inhabits Joe's human body and tastes pizza for the first time on the New York sidewalk
- Drink Twice — Jerry the cosmic accountant explains the soul accounting error in patient detail
- Shot — 22 finally finds her spark while sweeping fall leaves in a sunlit New York alley
- Shot — Joe returns 22's Earth pass knowing it means she gets to live instead of him
- Chug — Joe plays the jazz gig, comes home to his dark apartment, and realizes he never noticed his own life
