WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

Comments

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[his grin gets sharper at that, eye narrowed.]

What, you don't like it better when I do notice?

[drinks though]

[shortcircuits]

Hmm, when did this become about what I like?

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[Thor laughs!] No no, I don't mean... It's about getting to know one another! Just normal!

[shortcircuits]

Good, normal and neighbourly?

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[pauses.]

Are you a teacher?

[shortcircuits]

. . .

I am.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[dkfjsl. cracks up]

I thought so. You have a way about you.

[shortcircuits]

And what way is that?

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

A tone.

[shortcircuits]

[frowns at him for a long moment]

[then abruptly starts to laugh]

I wasn't intending to lecture you.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

You weren't! I just had to ask. How is your head? It's-- amazing, from my perspective, you've truly grown. From one conversation I can tell!

[shortcircuits]

How is my . . . head.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

Did, um, did drinking help. With settling your mind.

[shortcircuits]

[looks down at his beer. how many has this been. oh well.]

It's helped. Conversation and good company helped more.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[=D!! thor helped. He thwacks him on the back]

Good. I'm glad to offer both.

[shortcircuits]

[is thwacked]


[just leans forward and puts his head on the table with a little groan]

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[p...pat?]

... Not too much beer, I hope?

[shortcircuits]

I'm not a lightweight.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

You really didn't seem like you were! Just. [gestures.]

[shortcircuits]

[he sits back up, making himself comfortable, arms crossed]

Order more drinks. Did you want to keep talking about magic?

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[he raises his arm for more drinks!!] Two more, please! Well I certainly wouldn't mind. Though I'd like to know more about you.

[shortcircuits]

[rests his chin in one hand, looking at him appraisingly]

And why is that? —to both of those statements.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[Thor leans forward on his arms, smiling pleasantly, and from his tone it's hard to tell if he's being very serious or not]

Well, we are to be bound together here for an alleged eternity of "rehab."

[shortcircuits]

That does not in any way necessitate me tolerating the presence of anybody I'd prefer not to.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

Well... yeah, of course. Totally get that. But this is just 'cause... y'know... I'd like to make friends?
