[The lights dim and you are no longer in a classroom, but a low key bar. An older gentleman from behind the counter is looking at you as if waiting for your next order. La Torre's voice comes from nowhere in particular:]

Let's pick up where we left all, shall we? You are sitting in a bar. Why are you drinking?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1. Please write down and submit a reason for why your team is drinking.
2. Every player on the team must pick a number 1-50 for their self. This will be your alcohol tolerance level. This is an IC pick so characters who are lightweights may pick a heavyweight number and vice versa.

GOAL: Get as close to full on drunk as possible without blacking out. If you surpass your number you'll blackout and suffer alcohol poisoning. But don't worry; the school infirmary is standing by to receive all cases.

1. To gain courage and have fun!
2. Sparrow picks 20, Swan picks 30.

[ on the one hand, BOOZE

on the other hand, she did agree to not. get drunk. ]

Swan, what will our answer be?

[He's just. Glowering.]

Tch. You should pick a light tolerance and only have a couple drinks, all right? I'll make up for it with a higher tolerance, as I'm an adult and bigger than you anyway.

--ah, our reason?

[He's already starting to write something down, but he pauses guiltily now.]

It'd be different for both of us, but we have to pick just one...

Absolutely not! I can handle my fair share.

[ partly because how on earth will she get him home if he's hammered ]

We can make a reason up, right? It's not like it has to be a truthful reason.

Tch...what was he thinking making a game like this? I'll kill him--

Anyway, I won't see you getting ridiculously drunk again. I'm weary of it. Listen, if you don't go over "twenty," I won't go over "thirty."

[Sighing.]

Let's say we're drinking for courage. That's a typical idiotic reason people drink, right?

I haven't gotten drunk lately... But, okay. I'll take twenty.

I think so. We could say "for fun".

Yeah, and that's good. I'm mad at this Echo for getting in the way of your restraint.

All right. Twenty for you, and thirty for me, and we're drinking to gain courage and have fun.

Let's do it!

[ fist pump!!! ]

[A menu appears:

Coffee Stout
Dark, bitter stout tasting of coffee

Milk Stout
Sweet stout with a creamy texture

Imperial Stout
Stout with a roasted chocolate taste

Oyster Stout
Burnt espresso flavor with an oyster aftertaste]

...Why would you want to taste oysters in your booze???

I guess that's if you want to show off what a fancy alcoholic you are. Well, why don't we each order one? It's just beer, so I suppose it's not too bad for you.

I'll drink the Milk Stout! What about you?

The coffee stout.

Sparrow will have the Milk Stout!

[Your stout is served cool, but not too cold. What a refreshing beverage! Wouldn't it be nice if life was always this refreshing? Maybe you'll try to add some adventure to throw in something new. You're feeling very reckless. Anyone want to play human darts?]

Swan takes the coffee stout.

[Your stout is served cool, but not too cold. It's a real pick-me-up. With this kind of taste you just want to belt everything out to the heavens. Which is entirely possible; you've lost the ability to keep a quiet, inside voice. Try not to make anyone deaf.]

[A second menu appears:

Bloody Mary
Spicy, tomato tasting cocktail

Tequila Sunrise
Sweet mixed drink tasting of orange juice

Highball
Carbonated lemon-lime mixed drink

Salty Dog
Grapefruit tasting drink with a salt-lined rim]

I want the Highball or the Tequila Sunrise! -Ooh, or both! Swan, can I have both???

No, you can't! Ah, that was really loud. And so was that--jeez--pick one.

But I want both of them!!!

We're both going to pick one. I'll pick the bloody Mary, you can have one of the sweet ones.

Fine!!

Bloody Mary for Swan.

[Your mixed drink is served chilled with a celery stick. Is it you or is it hot in here? Someone needs to turn on the A/C. You've got to get cooler somehow!]

Highball for Sparrow!

[Unfortunately you have hit your alcohol limit for the night. It's off to the nurse's office for you to have your stomach pumped :(]

[ THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY ]

Sparrow!

[HE WILL AVENGE YOU. After he finishes stripping.]

[A third menu appears:

Ruby Port
Sweet, cherry tasting wine

Malvasia Madeira
Caramel tasting wine with an acidic bite

Vermouth
Bitter, with a mint flavor and syrupy texture

Vin Santo
Amber wine with an extremely sweet taste]

[Flinging the jacket of his uniform angrily at the bar.]

Sparrow--

I'll make it up to you!

[CHALLENGING RATATOSKR ONE-ON-ONE]
