Hey, Willow! Sorry for takin' so long, I think I've got something workin' most of the time. Bit busy last week.

[Between apple picking, scavenging and crisis management... what he wouldn't give for some nice convenient civilization.] Can send it by if ya wanna take a look.

Second order a business: anybody here keep chickens, and how much you want in trade for a layin' hen or two? I can try scavengin' up some stuff for ya, bang together furniture, your call. Any other kind of bird's fine too, just so long as the eggs're a decent size. Thanks.

[PRIVATE | LOCKED TO JOSHUA]

Look what I found. [He lifts up a dusty, slightly cobwebbed and partly empty bottle with an metal screw cap. The label's too mold-stained to read, but the color is a rich brown.] From the smell it's some kinda liquor. Think you'd be up for helpin' me figure out if it's any good?

[Josh, meanwhile, hasn't been able to completely finish his second mug. There's about a third of the mug left, and he's just looking down into it like he's seriously, seriously thinking about dumping it out.]

Pissing off the natives. It's fun.

[... yeah, it's working.]

Ha! You and your romance novel. Can't believe you got the kid reading it.

That's the beauty of it. What I had wasn't a romance novel at all.

Oh yeah?

[Considering, and then hoisting himself up a few inches to sit on the counter and grin at Josh. C'mon. Provide the rest of the story.]

It was just a blank book. I made the whole thing up.

[That's an honest to goodness grin there.]

[And if you're being uncharitable, this might be described as an honest to goodness cackle.

It's probably too evil-sounding to be a chuckle.]


So tell me, did ya pick the title to send people off after a crappy romance, or was that part an accident?

[He's not moving yet. Just wait until he does. It'll get the alcohol flowing.]

A complete accident. It worked better than I had hoped.

Not bad. [Shaking his head, and considering the remainder of his cup before tossing it back in a single mouthful. He's desensitized enough...]

You want any more of that or should I put the cap back on? Answer carefully, gettin' it off's a pain.

I think I'm going to throw up if I drink any more.

[Bluntly honest there, Josh.]

Wouldn't want that. I'd end up cleanin' the floor.

[Have a little bluntness in return~]

I'd feel bad makin' the kids clean up too many messes.

[There's almost a rueful look on his face, if you catch it in exactly the right light. Eyebrows a touch raised, corner of the mouth tucked up... he shakes it off and goes to put the cap back on their booze, moving just a little more carefully than usual.]
leggierissimo: (Please don't let me drink ever again.)
From: [personal profile] leggierissimo
That's all this place is. One giant mess.

[And Josh, who has been sticking to his little corner between the counter and the wall, is now moving to set his mug in the sink. The movement is immediately coupled with a tight grab on the edge of the counter. Because hello, alcohol-induced vertigo.]

... well, then.

Yeah. It's givin' me a headache.

[His eyebrows go all the way up when Josh clings to the counter.]

Forgot you were such a lightweight at that size. Need a hand, J.?

If I wasn't stuck in this form...

[Even though he's drunk, he's still proud. He just frowns at Sanae, and continues - carefully, mind you - to make his way to the sink.]

I'm fine.

If you say so. [He shakes his head and follows the Composer to put his own cup away. No sense arguing with Joshua under most conditions. Especially drunkenness.]
