AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk
[There's absolutely nothing celebratory about this drinking party. "Party" isn't even the right word, not really-- it's more like a "drink until you forget and/or black out" session for anyone who wants to participate, and even the bartender isn't immune from that much. Please forgive him if your drink isn't mixed quite right; he's trying his best under the circumstances.
There's food, too, if anyone wants to attempt to stave off a hangover tomorrow, or just get something in their stomach after the events of the day: stirfry from Makoto, vegetable soup from Nageki (mediocre, but hey, a genuine effort was made and that's what counts), and some tea for those who would rather abstain from the harder stuff. (Is that even many people tonight? Probably not.)
Come on by the bar if you're hungry or want a drink, or even if you just don't want to be alone right now. That much, at least, is something that can be guaranteed tonight.]

The besh-best sing to do wis zose contisions-conditions woult be to create a jewelry brand zat appears-appeals to children specifically. If children agively-actively vant necklaces and bracelets and udder-ozer jewelry pieces, zat eliminates ze izzu-issue of getting zem to wear the jarms-charms. Zen it's a masser-matter of mass-producing charmed jewelry, and zen most chitren-children vill be vearing your charms.
Offiously-obviously ze biggest difficulty in dish-dis-zis plan is the entire process of creating brant-brand zat sussesfully-succesfully appeals to children, as vell as how much effort it voot-woult take to mass-produce the charms, and the profit itsues-issues zat vill likely avrize-arise, as some charms vill have to be sold at cheaper pieses-prices so zey can be bought by poorer families.
[It's very similar to the solution he gave to Yuri's problem, but if these charms are the only way to protect these children from spirits and the stupidity of their parents, then it's the most logical thing he can think of.
Well, one of them.]
Do you vant to ze utter-ozer solution as vell?
no subject
The mines have been running low on the gemstone I use to make the charms lately, so it'll be tight trying to have enough for everyone
But I think I could do that
What's the other solution
no subject
The ozer solution voot-vould be to convince the town to evacivate-evacuate permanently for anozer reason. From vhat ife-I've seen, vone of the more effective mesods would be enver-envine-environmental disaster, specifically radiation. If staying ink-in zis town for a long time vill do more harm zed goot-good, zen they vill leave it.
Ze cons is zat you woult have to find a vay to agsess-access enough radioactive material to gauze-cause health risks for humans - among ozer sings.
[There's a reason why the first one was the more moral solution.]
no subject
[And also the other moral quandaries... on the other hand, can spirits get radiation poisoning?]
I'll try the first one
Thank you
You're a good friend
no subject
[And there's that statement again. The parrot doesn't know how to take a complement like that. Say he was a genius, and he'd puff out his chest and ruffle his feathers with pride. A good friend, though? Even if it was only twice that it had happened that he could think of at that moment, it just felt...odd.
He tried to let the statement go past him without a physical reaction. He couldn't help turning his gaze away from the man, apparently finding the blank wall much more interesting in that moment.]
It is nosing, truvy-truly. It is goot to find solutions to proplems-problems such as zis. Keeping ze braid-brain sharp or...somesing...
[Even if his brain is dealing with an obstacle at the moment.]
no subject
I think you're probably the smartest person here
[moriarty who]
no subject
Still, sank you for she-ze complement.
[Not arguing being the smartest because thank you for acknowledging his intelligence.]
no subject
But I'm not as good at giving advice
no subject
...zat does not rekyer-reqvire killing someone.
[Because, you know, shouldn't do that.]

I refuse to give that guy what he wants
[Hamelin can go screw himself.]

Despite not being fun-vone myself, I sink I fill-vill try it myself when ze chance avises-azizes-afices-
[He stops and sighs, rubbing at the sides of his head with his wing feathers.]
A. rise. es.
I vant to go for his eyes.
no subject
I'll cheer for you
[And probably cover his eyes because he's squeamish.]
no subject
[Another reason why he likes you, Suga. Let him claw someone's eyes out please and thank you.]
