AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk

[mirrite]

[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.]

It seems like it would be hard to get something like that in the middle of nowhere

[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

[hellochildren]

Fair enouv-enough.

[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.]

[gemuinemanagement]

I don't think you of all people need to worry about keeping sharp
I think you're probably the smartest person here

[moriarty who]

[hellochildren]

Pacish-practice is never a bad sing. Keeps ze mient-mind on it's toes, figuratively speaking.

Still, sank you for she-ze complement.

[Not arguing being the smartest because thank you for acknowledging his intelligence.]

[gemuinemanagement]

I wish I could help out in return
But I'm not as good at giving advice

[hellochildren]

I si-[HIC]-ink I have a plan alreaty, merely resueses-resources, time, and vay out of here.

...zat does not rekyer-reqvire killing someone.

[Because, you know, shouldn't do that.]

[gemuinemanagement]

Right
I refuse to give that guy what he wants

[Hamelin can go screw himself.]

[hellochildren]

Agreet.

Ve have a sayink-saying for somevone tike-like Ze Piper in Cher-Germany: Backpfeifengesicht - a face in neet of a fist.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'd call him that but I don't want to even attempt spelling it

[hellochildren]

Back...p-f-e-i-f-e-n-g-e-s-i-c-h-t.

[He needed a moment to think.]

[gemuinemanagement]

Backpfeifengesicht?

[He learned a thing today!]

[hellochildren]

Correct.

Ant his is most zertain-certainly in need of a fish-fist. Or several.

[gemuinemanagement]

A fist
Or a sword
Or an axe
I'm flexible

[hellochildren]

[That get a chuckle out of the buzzed bird.]

All zat and more, my fret-friend. All zat and more.

[gemuinemanagement]

Stabbing him was very satisfying for about two seconds

[hellochildren]

As I tolt Frau Adora at ze tile-tril-trial, please vait until a feak-weakness is apparent to try such sings...again.

[He will be happy to watch you stab Hamelin so long as it didn't nearly kill you, Suga.]

[gemuinemanagement]

I think I'll leave it to the actual fighters next time

[hellochildren]

A vice-vise decision.

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.

[gemuinemanagement]

Kick his ass
I'll cheer for you

[And probably cover his eyes because he's squeamish.]

[hellochildren]

Sank you-I plan to.

[Another reason why he likes you, Suga. Let him claw someone's eyes out please and thank you.]
