[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?

What is a stout?

Re: DISCUSSION

[echomyheart]

Something small and thick?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

A small, thick thing to eat?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

It's probably a creamy drink.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Ah.

Alcohol, I presume?

Re: DISCUSSION

[echomyheart]

Probably, since this is a bar.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

I see. So it's flavoring to alcohol?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

Pro . . . bably?

Re: DISCUSSION

[echomyheart]

Well, in any case, I think the coffee one sounds pretty good.

Imperial Stout.

Re: SUBMIT

[soulping]

[Your stout is served cool, but not too cold. The more you drink it the more you realize you don't really want to be here. Or with these people. Or in this bar. People are for losers; can you go home yet?]

[....this isn't really different from how I usually feel though.]

Re: SUBMIT

[echomyheart]

Coffee stout!

Re: SUBMIT

[soulping]

[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.]

Re: SUBMIT

[clocksandroses]

Milk Stout.

Re: SUBMIT

[soulping]

[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?]
