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.]

...That's not even true, though.

Given her skills, I thought last week that she would have been one of the few among us who was familiar enough with human anatomy to have managed Gin's murder, but I didn't say anything. I felt so guilty after wrongly accusing her the first week that I wasn't even going to let myself consider her unless there was already irrefutable evidence pointing toward her.

It's an understandable reason to be apprehensive – given what happened the first time, being unwilling to do it again is a reasonable reaction.

[ She sips her drink. ]

Besides, you were not the only one who did not say anything. We all shoulder the blame for what happened to SQ. That is not something that was solely your fault.
