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.]

[ McGillis also absolutely does not want his past out there for all to see, so this is really more tipsy hypothetical musing than it is a viable suggestion. Sometimes a man likes to think about human nature. ]

Of course. I was hardly the one hit worst by suspicion out there.

[ Not today and not generally - Yeager and Moriarty both got a much rougher deal. ]

It was an exhausting day, but I'm old enough to have had many of those in my life. [ And with a mild headshake: ] Candy... of all things.

It certainly is going to be interesting to see how things go from here on out...

[He almost feels bad for William, but hey at least someone else gets it!!! Anyway.]

I must admit, I'm a bit surprised as well. I didn't even bother to spend much time in any of the locations we just received aside from the bar... so I wasn't aware we had candy that could be used as weaponry.

[Which is totally ridiculous and also exactly what he should have expected of candyland.]

Still, that does seem like a rather silly thing to be accused over...

[Poor McGillis' sweet tooth will never be forgotten now.]

[vogelfrei]

I'm not normally as candid with my preferences, either. In the army, people tend to regard such tastes as childish after all.

[ They serve him BLACK COFFEE, Yeager, his life is a struggle. ]

I consider myself fortunate that previous checks and encounters have left it well documented regardless of that.

Unfortunately, I did still find the candyland rather unsettling so my knowledge of the 'forbidden candy', so to say, was limited.

[scythegun]

I can't say I'm surprised that they'd find it childish...

[It's absolutely dumb to be ridiculing someone's preferences, but that also sounds like something he could see the knights doing, so yeah. Makes sense.]

I suppose we really do need to check every available location in the new areas from now on. I wasn't aware of the echo houses and their unique properties either.

[And look how well that went!!!!]

[vogelfrei]

It's really not the kind of thing one would have to check for in my world - though judging by everybody's surprise to the Echo Houses, that is something a lot of us share in common.

[ MAGIC!! He loves it in theory and hates it in practice, but they've had that talk already. ]

Not knowing what we are even looking for with regards to effects will make this difficult, but on the other hand... there is woefully little do to here, might as well spend a whole week investigating.

[scythegun]

Ja, that's more or less what I'm thinking. I can't say I'm really looking forward to covering everything we get next, but surely it can't be any worse than candyland.

[.........the peach museum is hilarious so he's definitely correct here!!!]

[vogelfrei]

One would hope. It doesn't really get much more macabre than that one.

At least other horrid places tend to be straight-forward about being a threat.

[scythegun]

Precisely. So here's hoping we can figure out whatever silly things we'll be dealing with next time quickly!

[maybe we'll have a nice week and someone will drown with no pumpkins involved.]
