[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?

[barrette]

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.

[swordedpast]

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?

[barrette]

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

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

[swordedpast]

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.

[barrette]

Let's do it!
