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.]

[thxforthememories]

That's what he turns into.

I turn into a bird. [He frowns.] And a car.

[loyalflier]

But birds are hunters as well...

[ they totally are. they hunt insects and stuff. what's the problem really. ]

[thxforthememories]

...




They are?

[loyalflier]

Some eat other birds. Some snatch insects from the sky...

[ waving hand about with a smile. ]

[thxforthememories]

I ... didn't know that. I didn't know birds ate. Things.

[loyalflier]

[ nodding. there goes another cube. ]

Some do, yes...

[ here comes the approximation of robot squinting. ]

Why was I saying that?

[thxforthememories]

Because I'm a bird.

[He says that in total seriousness, too.]

[loyalflier]

Don't look much like a bird to me.

[ already had too much to drink, mmhmm. ]

[thxforthememories]

[He sort of drunkenly flutters his wings.]

I turn into one!

[loyalflier]

You will have to show me sometime. Maybe even fly together.

[thxforthememories]

[He almost jumps right out of his seat.]

Okay!

I can do that!

[loyalflier]

Later. Not now.

[ sliiiiding another cube Kagerou's way. ]

[thxforthememories]

Oh. Right.

[It's drinking time now.]

[loyalflier]

Then you can go after that guy too.

[ the guy that they were originally talking about. ...that had been a part of this conversation, right? ]

[thxforthememories]

... No, I can't do that.

He doesn't want me to.

[loyalflier]

But do you want to?

[thxforthememories]

I want to be with him. And never leave his side. And tell him he's beautiful. And ... be with him.

I said that already.

[loyalflier]

You're in love, right?

[thxforthememories]

...

[THUNK onto the table goes his head.]

That's what Kay says.

[loyalflier]

It's not a bad thing.

[ pat pat. much back patting. ]

Actually it's supposed to be a great thing to experience.

[thxforthememories]

It's awful.

[He practically wails that into the table, oops.]

[loyalflier]

It can't be that bad.

[thxforthememories]

It is.

[loyalflier]

Just because of a kiss?

[thxforthememories]

[Miserably:]

Yes.
