[ Guess who’s got two thumbs and five bottles of faerie ale burning a hole in his inventory? This guy! ]

So, who’s up for a drink?

Comments

[kingsroads]

On the contrary, you're coming.

[ said as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. ]

After all, do you really trust Lambert to keep me under control?

[atouts]

One could presume he does his job and manages his nightrunners, so, yes, I do.

[kingsroads]

Then let me rephrase that. Do you really trust Lambert to keep me under control when we're both drunk? Or possibly high as I do have ears, I can hear that conversation with Papyrus.

[ you turn someone into a chicken ONE TIME.... ]

Besides, you need that drink more than any of us.

[atouts]

[ Fine, that's a better question and he already knows the answer is, ]

You're both useless when you're drunk... [ Definitely said with a sigh. ] But it could be I'm not interested in being the one there making sure no one does anything stupid. As such, my answer is still no.

[kingsroads]

Then join in on the doing something stupid.

[ which he knows isn't going to happen but hey, Strange is at least gonna try and make the effort. ]

[atouts]

I did that back on the moon.

[ there's a limited quota of stupid per decade, Strange. ]

[kingsroads]

That was over a month ago.

[ we have a quota of stupid per month, tyvm ]

[atouts]

And?

[ not seeing how that's relevant, man ]

[kingsroads]

[ And that was over a month ago! That's the point! Do something dumb more recently than that! ]

Like I said, that was over a month ago! Have you done anything fun since then or were you content glowering and skulking around Wismuth?

[atouts]

Hm.

[ Has he done anything fun since the moon... ]

I have, actually, but you must realize I also consider skulking about in the shadows and arriving just in time to scowl at people as fun as anything else.

[kingsroads]

[ so that's a big fat no, huh. There's a moment's pause where Childermass can just TELL that Strange is exasperated about this whole thing. ]

Christ, I need to introduce you to the concept of 'hobbies'—and spoiling your dog doesn't count!

[atouts]

An odd sentiment coming from a man who's hobbies are staring into a gem for long spans of time and never tidying up.

[kingsroads]

I'm afraid you're forgetting writing, drinking, and having fun.

[ though now that Childermass mentioned the gem...there's an awkward pause before Strange grumbles, ]

Thank you for returning it, by the way. Even though you're the one who stole it in the first place.

[atouts]

[ Right. The gem. So he found it. ]

I am sorry for that. [ Honestly. ] Well, that and the entire throwing you into the sea part, as well.

[kingsroads]

Apology accepted. Besides, you didn't literally throw me into the ocean unlike some people.

[ thanks, rm. :| ]

[atouts]

[ strange is having bad luck with water lately, huh? ]

Oh? And who is some people?

[kingsroads]

Come have a drink with me and I'll tell you!

[ why yes, he is purposefully being a shit. ]

[atouts]

[ nice try but ]

I suppose I shall just have to assume it was Coco.

[kingsroads]

Coco doesn't have arms. Ergo, Coco cannot throw.

[ holy semantics, batman ]

[atouts]

Coco has several mouths that could just as easily pick you up, Mr. Strange.

[ tossing into water via bizarre coconut mouths absolutely counts as throwing ]

[kingsroads]

Good God, that's a terrifying image.
