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.]

I meant when we go back
If we go back

... how did your isolation keep anybody safe?

[ Sounds like a messy system. ]

The forest near my village has a violent spirit
I stay there to keep children out of the forest and make protective charms
And rescue people when I'm able

But most people in the village don't believe the spirit exists
And I'm weird and creepy

[ McGillis reads this over carefully and frowns. ]

I suppose they explained away any previous incidents as unfortunate accidents?

[gemuinemanagement]

Of course
The bigshots want to expand the village into the forest
So anything that goes against their interests is superstitious nonsense

[vogelfrei]

Humanity truly is the same everywhere.

Unfortunately
I'm used to it
