audio; 4/6 late night / early morning ish

[thxforthememories]

[It's probably around midnight or so when the post pops up. Or close enough to it that the effects of the red energon have finally worn off. He can touch things now. He's no longer a ghost.]

[And... still considerably unsettled and upset by recent events. Enough to make the following statement:]

I ... I want to learn how to be drunk.

[Because that seems like a great idea. It always worked for his role models around here, after all.]

Someone. Show me how. I'll be grateful.

[And that's all he says. He'll be at the bar, an unhappy pile of metal and wings. Waiting.]

... Power Joe is angry with me. Then I upset someone who means the world to me.

And I haven't... seen him since.

[Yes, he is upset over fighting with PJ. The stupid power shovel is like his best fratboy friend around here.]

[deadlydoctor]

First you have to find a lot of cubes of high energon and then drink them until you can't see straight. Frankly, it's not something all that hard to accomplish.

I'm all in favor of new experiences but why do you want to do it?

[thxforthememories]

Which ones are... high grade?

[Yeah, totally avoiding the question there.]

[deadlydoctor]

Go to the bar and ask for those, high grade doesn't look any different than actual energon. It tastes stronger.

[Yeah, not gonna work with KO.] Did you break up with your boyfriend?

[raceme]

I don't think that's a good idea.

Did something happen?

[thxforthememories]

I think it's a fine idea.

Vandal did it.

[raceme]

You'll regret it later, trust me. Getting drunk means intoxicating yourself with is bad for your engine.

Vandal did many things, that doesn't mean you should repeat her mistakes.

[loyalflier]

I was just entertaining the notion of going out myself...

[thxforthememories]

Then you can show me.

[loyalflier]

Rather, you can join me.

[badboybikerbot]

Just drink that high grade stuff, right? There probably isn't any trick for getting drunk.

Ah, wait. I'm supposed to be responsible and ask why you want to get drunk, aren't I. What's up, pigeon?

[thxforthememories]

Which one is the high grade?

... You don't need to be. I'm fine with you being irresponsible.

[badboybikerbot]

Beats me, I haven't tried it myself yet. It's at the bar, I know that much.

Oh yeah? Nice to hear someone appreciates it.

Why would you need to learn to get overcharged? You mean, drag you back from the bar or whatever gutter you collapse in, right?

[learn??? to drink??????]

audio

[thxforthememories]

I don't know which ones are the high grade.

Re: audio

[primest]

In the bar. Ask for the high grade. Put the cube up to your mouth, then tilt it slowly to a 90 degree angle. Repeat until unconscious.

[he's just slightly bitter because this is pretty much all he did a few weeks ago and still feels a little bit shitty from it.]

[nobody_number_8]

It's generally not that hard. Select intoxicating beverage, drink, repeat until you can't see straight enough to do so any more. 'Fraid I can't make any beverage selections though; not really sure what robots get drunk with.

Though before you get to the point of dancing around with a lampshade on your head, tell me: who all else was involved in this so I can point them to the bar if I see them so they can tell you you're being an idiot?

[thxforthememories]

... What do you mean, who all was involved?

[nobody_number_8]

Well, while wanting a drink is a totally understandable reaction after all the recent crazy, setting out to get drunk usually means one of two things; either you had a big fight with someone you cared about, or you think you screwed something up royally. Possibly both.

And since both of those circumstances tend to involve other people, I'd like to know who, so I can send them your way if I run into them. That way they can tell you how much of a dumb move this was while you're still too drunk to care, rather than later on, while you're hung over.

...Kagerou?

[Okay, so she might've given some bad advice. Or good advice that just went completely bad.

And boy does she feel guilty.]

I uh...well I can't drink just yet but...I can get some pretty sweet apple juice and join you.


It's...kinda the same thing!

[audio]

[thxforthememories]

... I would like to see you, Kay.

Please.

[At least Kay will still talk to him.]

[audio]

[littlecrowgirl]

You got it. I'll be right over--I think I'm getting the hang of this flying thing.

Just...don't start without me, okay? Tell me everything.

[She's already heard heading out the door.]
