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.]

[And there goes Blurr. He takes the seat in front of Kagerou.] How's the getting drunk experiment going?

[thxforthememories]

[Well, he managed to find a few cubes, but that's about it. He waited, at least.]

I didn't start.

[raceme]

[Blurr appreciates it.]

Thanks. [He reaches for one of the cubes, if only to have something to toy with while they talk.] Are you sure you want to do this?

[thxforthememories]

Yes.

I wouldn't have asked, otherwise.

[raceme]

Alright. Let's do this then.

[He raises the cube.] Cheers.

[thxforthememories]

[He looks at him blankly, before awkwardly copying the gesture.]

Cheers...?

[raceme]

[He's still holding up the cube.] You are supposed to bump your cube with your other person before drinking.

[thxforthememories]

Oh. I didn't --

[Here he'll just do that now.]

[raceme]

And now we drink. Take a sip, but don't end your drink yet.

You never really did this before, hm?

[thxforthememories]

Don't drink it all, you mean?

[He shakes his head.]

I was... intoxicated once. So Perceptor said. But not like this.

[raceme]

Some mechs find it too strong to drink it all at once. Besides, if you are enjoying your cube you want it to last. [And Blurr doesn't want him to drink more than he can take.]

When was that?

[thxforthememories]

Right... Do you think it's too strong?

[He shrugs a little, staring into the cube.]

... When that party happened. The one with all the dancing.

[raceme]

[Blurr takes a sip f his cube before answering.] Not average but not the highest grade. We are fine for now.

Was it on Halloween?

[thxforthememories]

I want more of it, then.

[He shakes his head.]

No, it wasn't recently. Everyone had to wear formal things.

[raceme]

And we will have more cubes, don't worry the bar's not short of stock.

I was probably too busy to attend the ball, I guess. I was never all that good when ti came to social events.

[thxforthememories]

If you're sure.

... No, you were there. I saw you.
