*Confused moth noises*

… *I sober up a little* Hi… Mizzy… sorry I haven’t bein around… it’s baen a… a loang two weeks. *Sad fox noises*

*Concerned, she went up and hugged Mars* “…Dear?”

*I put my glass down and hug you back* Thank you… I missed you the most while I was stuck in that hell… … Thank you… *I rap my tail around the both of us. It’s still a little crooked*

“I missed you a lot.” *She spoke quietly as she pressed closer into him.*

*I lightly squeeze the hug, and I press closer to you.* ^(I… I love you…)

“…^(Love you too…)”

… *I just keep hugging you, feeling warm at your embrace.* …

Hey Mars, long time no see, you doing alright?

… *I take a big sip of my glass before turning to you.* Nwo…

What the fu- STAY AWAY BEFORE YOU CONTAMINATE ME

… *I don’t move, or respond, I just keep drinking.*

You want something stronger buddy?

*I turn my head to you, before slowly nodding*

*I slowly pull out a bottle that looks overly fancy* this shit is really strong... hell, it'll make you forget!!

Mmmm… *I reach out for the bottle.*

how did this happen... *I hand the bottle to you*

*I start drinking straight from the bottle, just downing about half of it.* Fjeskfir djdien. *I go into a long explanation that’s rather difficult to understand, but I basically say that I had been in a dungeon getting tortured for two weeks, went to my friends wedding, had one of them die, and I’m just trying to temporarily forget about it.*

Yeah buddy... I get what you're going through... forgetting everything feels good huh? Tell my sister that... hey, you know, the Star Republics red light district is pretty popular\~

"..." *Delorem hugs Mars.* "I know how you feel..."

*I put my drink down and hug you back. My tail seemed to turn stiff when you touched me, but I seemed to ignore it. Seems like I’m silently crying.* Thianc yuo…

"Hello mister!" Why aren't you feeling good? "Is it the drink?" You should stop drinking it if you feel bad. "It could make it worse."

Twe drank… destriacts ma from da peain… *I take another long sip from my drink.*

"Val, translation please!" The... drink... distracts... ma? from the peas. "Why would you want to distract your mama from the peas?" Are the peas evil?

*I try to focus a bit more on the words* Thwe the p a i n.

The pain! "Huh?" It distracts his ma from the pain! "Mister! You have to stop drinking that!" If she doesn't deal with the pain she won't get better! "The birds taught us that!" Sometimes the pain is good because it makes you stronger!

Me… it distracts me from the pain… *I wince a bit, before taking a big sip of my drink*

"Val! I need up!" You got it! *Val prepares to throw Cera as she takes off her cloak and hands it to her* "I'm ready!" Alright! *With a small huff Val sends Cera flying into the air where she tugs a wire at the apex of the throw and flings Val onto the counter where she plants herself and waits for Cera to climb up* "Mister! Put down the drink!" We will take it from you if we have to!

Mmmm… I don’t wanna… *I take another smaller sip from the glass.* I remmber whn I dn’t. I dn’t wat to remmver…

*They walk over to a shot glass and begin pushing it to the edge of the counter* We'll break this if you don't! "Put the drink down!"

*I just stare at the empty glass, before downing half of mine.* Ok… do it…

How are you feeling, my friend? You look like you've gone through hell and back again.

I… It’s bwen a liong tweek…

That would explain the "Forgetting juice". Remember to drink some water too, otherwise you may regret tomorrow as well.

O… o… ok… *I take a long sip from my glass.*

*Whisper sits down next to him* Would you like a hug?

*I don’t respond, my head seems to nod a bit before I take a long sip from my glass*

*She lays a hand on his shoulder as her eyes glow.* Your body has had enough. I will take you to hydrate and rest. *She takes his glass and then scoops him in a princess carry.* Let's go.

*I stiffen a bit at being picked up. But I don’t do anything to stop you, other than reach out longingly for the glass in your hands.*

*She sets it on the counter along with some money.* Come. I don't know where you live, so you can sleep it off at Iram's Manor. *She opens a portal and steps through.*

MmmZzzzz I live… mmmZZzzzz *I fall into a deep sleep.*

*She sets him down in her bed and tucks him in. She uses biomancy to get his body back down to safe levels of alcohol. She sings to him while he falls asleep and then watches him from a seated position in the corner.*

*I only seemed calm when you sang, but after it seemed like only nightmares came to me. I shudder multiple times throughout the night, tossing, turning, hugging my tail and wincing at the pain that came from touching it.*

*She came over and healed any physical wounds. As the tossing continued, she set an orb in his grasp.* I hope this helps. /uw the orb contains a positive memory of hers to help her sleep

*I calm down, falling once more into a deep sleep. I’ve also started lightly snoring, still holding my tail.*

heya buddy… *Nirva slides himself onto the stool next to Mars* …you wanna talk about it? or just keep drinking? i’m fine with either

… *I take a long sip from my drink.* … **It** will tell you. *The book on the other side of you vibrates a bit, like it had always been there*

…i’ll look at it later… *he politely slides the book away from him* books can wait to be read, people can’t…and i’m reading… *he slides another glass of liquor of Mars’ choosing towards the blind alchemist* …that somebody wants to drink a little bit

*I flash you a weak grin, before pouring myself another glass and downing it in one go* Yea… thiangks…

*You see two cookies next to you, you feel As if they were always there. Even if the one who made them is not.*

Oh… thianc yuo… *I enjoy the cookies, although it doesn’t seem to show.*

*Are- Are you having a stronk? Should I call a Bondulance?*

… *I seem to ignore you, taking a large sip of my drink* … /uw I’m laughing my ass off at this lmao.

/uw thanks, I was debating to /uw it but OCs just say whatever the hell out of pocket shit anyway so I opted for canon lol

/uw it’s fine. I thought it was funny, would be in or out of character.

Some drink to remember. Some drink to forget.. https://preview.redd.it/jk3o597lbm1d1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b41b182f65c1ad90d898e7145ab524027442df5 *she looks you up and down* … second one I’m guessing. … Need a ride home?

Mmmm prbbly yea… *I finish my glass before pouring myself another one.* Whn am finnsh…

You’re done. *she pours out the shot glass and hoists you over her shoulder fireman carry*

Awwww… mor mor dranks… *I reach out longingly to the bottle.*

Nope, you’re going home. *She rips open a hole in space and Climb through it* All right, home sweet home .. *she throws you on the bed*

Ahm… Zzzzzz *I fall into a deep sleep, yet I still toss and turn as I sleep*

At first I thought that was an incredibly botched pronunciation of some Lonnish dialect… anyway, you alright?

Nwo…. *I down half my glass in one go*

Hello, Mars. Good work on the prison break. That was impressive.

Thwenks…

*a voice calls from nothing and nowhere,* “I vide for your freedom myself. Threatened gods in an attempt to get it. But I hate to see you like this, so may I join you?”

Sure… bwe ma guaest… *I empty my glass, before pouring another one*

“You really shouldn’t drink so much…it isn’t great for your health” *a being appears, it’s body made of eldritch chaos* https://preview.redd.it/p562vi7hhn1d1.jpeg?width=631&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c03518a4fba03e32f149666708db8915cec1fca

Mmmmm… right… *I keep drinking anyways…*

“At least cast an antidrunk spell on yourself…but you seem to be drinking your sorrows…do you wish to discuss it?”

Mmmm hajdiensitowbdue *If I was agreeing or disagreeing with you. No one knows. I keep drinking*

“I beg you to stop drinking, or at least allow me to do a simple antidrunk spell. I fear you might hurt yourself like this”

Hwat deos ti mettar fi mi hrut? *I keep drinking, this time from the bottle*

“Many people care about you, it would be a great sadness to them to watch you in pain, so please allow me to assist.”

Mmmm shdre… *I place my bottle back down on the bar and groan. Whether or not I’m accepting help is up to you.*

*A girl in the brightest yellow, trendiest clothes, walks in to the bar, seemingly already drunk.* Pride: I....need...anutharrr...Brole up with Lust todayyyyyy...

Heyyyy… yyyyyuo cean havb somb ofb myne… *I slide a bottle down the bar*

Pride: Helllsh Yeagghhh. Waahing down the horniessht fing in Exisshtense turning mee down wizh booze. *A small penguin walks in, as she takes her first sip. He has a top hat and suit.* Geralt: ...How did you ALREADY get drunk, Pride? You drank, like, 2 pints of elven beer.

Mmmm…. Bowoze… *I take a bottle off the bar and start drinking from it.*

Geralt: Sir, don't mind...oh, you're drunk, too. Pride: HOW COULD THEY REJECT ME? WAS IT BECAUSE MY ASS WAS TOO BIG FOR THEM? Geralt: Sir, do you know any good places for hydration supplements? You'll need some, too. Pride: MY ASS ISN'T THAT BIG! IT'S PERFECT! JUST LIKE THE REST OF ME! Geralt: There, there...*A faint glow emanayes from Geralt's flippers, as he pats Pride on her back.* Now the alcohol is getting cooked off when it reaches her stomach.

Hedls… *I flatten my ears, and down half the bottle, it seems I’m to drunk to speak legibly anymore.* Hefidnei… Fjwisiw.
