[ 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

[periphrasing]

Is actual drinking a mandatory requirement for participating in the social ritual of being 'up for a drink'? Because the last time that I 'had a drink', I nearly punched a hole in the floor of my trailer.

[But also she wants to hang out.]

[kingsroads]

You're overreacting, it wasn't that bad!

[ says the person who was high out of his mind the last time Peridot was drunk. ]

[kingsroads]

Obviously.

[ BOOZE, BOOZE, BOOZE, BOOZE ]

[whattaprick]

Don’t suppose you have any more of that ambrosia left, do you?

[whattaprick]

I think you’d find it pretty hard to punch a hole in the lakeshore.

[ Also when did you get drunk without him??? He wants to hear this story! ]

But you can’t come empty handed. Bring something to eat or drink.

[periphrasing]

I am not! There's still a dent there!

[She hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet because she was without hands for several weeks.]

[kingsroads]

As a matter of fact, I do. Bring some food and I'll bring the ambrosia.

[periphrasing]

[You weren't invited because it was a sad drinking party, admittance exclusive to losers who didn't get chosen to be Guardians of Creation, OKAY?]

Ummmmmmmmm...

[Peridot has never had to prepare a food or drink in her life, save for Portland. Maybe she can remember something from then? Or...]

Fine. I'll have to ask Amethyst for suggestions though.

[kingsroads]

There is?

[ whoops... ]

At least it's only a dent. To be honest, I'm surprised more things aren't broken.

[whattaprick]

I’m already bringing faerie ale, you’ll have to make someone else do it.

[whattaprick]

[ Okay, now he’s curious. ]

You two drank together? Without me?

[prazerbutterfly]

Depends on if it is a drink or an early morning regret. I have reasons to keep a clear head at the moment.

[kingsroads]

[ a siiiiiigh like this is the hardest thing in the world. ]

Fine, fine. But try to remember to save some of the ambrosia for others.

[whattaprick]

Worried about overindulging? That doesn’t seem like you.

[whattaprick]

Odds are half the bottle’s going into you anyway, isn’t it?

[prazerbutterfly]

If anything I'll take a shot of the strongest thing you have but no more and no less. [But Lambert is right and because the radio is evil he's going to be as vague as possible.] New trailermate.

[chronosynthesis]

Is there an occasion for it? [He has a sneaking suspicion the occasion is just 'get drunk'.]

[whattaprick]

Not dying, saving the world, saving our coworkers, wanting to forget all of our last stop... take your pick.

[ The occasion is absolutely just 'get drunk.' ]

Though in your case, how about a successful stint as deputy Nightrider? Nobody else got kidnapped.

[whattaprick]

Can't go wrong with anything salty or deep-fried.

[ Maybe. Although he also has a better idea-- ]

Wait, don't we have ... fireworks?

[kingsroads]

On the contrary, I'm taking charge of one of your bottles of faerie ale.

[ and then passing out in the grass like the useless alcoholic he is. ]

[whattaprick]

Fine, fine. [ Tyki's probably going to regret that decision, either way. ]

But you'd better not come empty-handed.

[chronosynthesis]

Somehow. [He says it wryly.] I never did get a good look at whatever power you received as part of your stint alongside Noa.

[prazerbutterfly]

[Tyki can't really get drunk unless it is faerie ale. It's why he wants the strongest he's got.]I currently have a lot of chips if you are interested in those. Otherwise I'll put in an order at the cookhouse. Food goes well with bad decisions.

[whattaprick]

Well, it's gone now. [ And thank fuck for that. ]

Not that you were missing out on much.

[whattaprick]

It's just going to come right out of you again! That's a waste of good booze.
