To Drown Out

[warriorscribe]

Characters: Enoch never intended it but, everyone who's up for drinking!
Setting: Cafeteria, throughout the day (sorry team indigo)
Format: Party, do what you want!
Summary: With Riki being generous with the food again, Enoch decides to see, first, if he can still get drunk at all, and second, if being drunk will help keep his new headmate quiet. A (not-so-) surprising amount of people are likely to be interested in drinking with him.
Warnings: Drunken shenanigans. Possible angst because he might actually talk about Eleven under the influence. Might also talk about gory details of the meeting with Ruana. Did I say drunken shenanigans? I think I need to say that again.

*Much like just before the glamour failure, Enoch sits with several bottles of red wine from the kitchen stock. Unlike then, he has no extra glasses out to share with. He is not drinking to a plunge into the unknown. He is drinking to drown things. Mostly, the voice screaming in his head.

But nothing really changes the fact that any modern wine is of much higher quality than anything his time could produce, and he's savoring its flavor too, in long sips. It's almost a distraction, itself.

Speaking of distractions, he certainly won't object to any company, and if it turns into a larger gathering he may get so caught up in it he'll forget how much he's had.

And so might you. Care to grab a drink for yourself? He won't mind if you ask for some of the wine he has.*

((ooc: Of course you can approach Enoch like any other log, but due to interest expressed this is actually more of a mingle! Start games and contests if you'd like or just hang out and have your characters get drunk or bodyguard or spectate. Please identify new games and contests in the header to make it clearer to people scrolling through! Naturally there can be several threads of the same game, considering this isn't organized at all.

Have fun, and do keep an eye out for monsters...))

[Yotsuba was going to say that maybe they liked being silly, but then Lucifel nodded and went to get a glass for his milk. She didn't know what that raised eyebrow meant, but she was happy that he was going to try some milk, so the thought of grown-ups being silly flew out of her mind as she fetched a bottle of chocolate milk before going back to Lucifel. She had no idea that Ruana's month was next, but she would approve of having fun and trying new things.]

Um..allow me to fill your glass, Luci!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[It's nothing bad in that regard, he's just a bit surprised, if anything. Also, he should ask Enoch to give him a copy of the list that says in which order the administrators come, just for him to know, he got it almost mixed up last time.

When she offered to fill his glass he chuckled and pushed it closer to Yotsuba.]

Please do, it would be an honor if Yotsuba did so.

[sunflowerfairy]

[That would be good for him to know! And if he passed on the information, that would be even better. When Lucifel chuckled and said that it would be an honor if she filled his glass, Yotsuba's smile got even wider and her eyes lit up as she carefully poured Luci a glass of milk and put down the bottle and carefully held her own glass with both hands.]

There you are! It's my pleasure to help you!

[She would then drink a little bit of her milk before speaking again.]

It's really sweet and yummy, Luci!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[He would be doing so. But really, Lucifel should start remembering this kind of information, considering how important it is.

The archangel was stunned how easy it could be to make a child happy. Well, one of her age.

Lucifel took a sip of his glass. Maybe too sweet for him.]

It is.

[sunflowerfairy]

[It would be nice if he remembered, since it would help him prepare for the future. And even if the milk was too sweet for Lucifel, Yotsuba didn't know, since it tasted pretty good to her. It was usually easy to make her happy, since she enjoyed almost everything, even simple things.]

It is! I'm glad you like it, Luci!

[At that, Yotsuba gulped down a bit more milk before speaking again.]

It's super yummy..much better than beer!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[It more the chocolate than the milk. But he would drink it anyways. Lucifel would also have to remember that it's easy to make her happy.]

It smells much better than beer too.

[Better finish his glass... slowly, since he guessed that she would refill it once he finished it.]

Yotsuba likes milk very much, huh? All kinds of milk?

[sunflowerfairy]

[Maybe writing everything down would make it easier for the Archangel to remember. However, Yotsuba had never though to smell milk, but once Lucifel had mentioned the idea, she took a few whiffs of her glass before drinking a bit more.]

It does!

[Not that she had smelled the beer either. She just thought that milk was much better in taste, so it had to be better smelling as well. However..the 'all kinds of milk' comment threw her for a loop, and she gave Lucifel an excited smile, her eyes growing wide.]

I do! Yotsuba likes milk a whoole lot! But..are there other kinds?! What are they, Luci?!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Compared to the beer the chocolate milk was certainly better on the nose. Again, this child was easily excited.]

Milk that's mixed with fruit or ice cream. The latter is called milkshake.

[sunflowerfairy]

[A milkshake and milk mixed with fruit..that made Yotsuba a little hungry just imagining it.]

That sound suuper yummy, Luci! Can we make some here? Please?

[brbtalkingtogod]

I think we can only make things with everything that's there for the time being. If there is only chocolate milk and no normal milk then we can't make it.

[sunflowerfairy]

But..we could make a chocolate milkshake! That might be even yummier!

[brbtalkingtogod]

That could be tried.

[But Lucifel in the kitchen?]

[sunflowerfairy]

Then let's do it, Luci! It'll be fun and really yummy! Do we have ice cream?!

[Lucifel and Yotsuba in the kitchen. This could either work out well or be a total disaster.]

[brbtalkingtogod]

There should be, Banana Split is one of the desserts this month.

[Rather the later. Lucifel never used a kitchen ever since he existed.]

[sunflowerfairy]

What's a banana split? Do you cut a banana in half?

[And Yotsuba, like most five-year-olds, had never really handled most kitchen appliances.]

[brbtalkingtogod]

That you do. It's a dessert with ice cream, a banana split in half, chocolate and fruit sauce and whipped cream and nuts and a cherry on top.

[Then the Tower should fear what may come.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[They probably should. However, at the moment, Yotsuba was far from frightened. Her smile grew as she heard Lucifel describe this yummy dessert, and she now wanted to eat it with the Archangel.]

I don't know what whipped cream is, but that sounds suuper yummy, Luci! Can we eat that after we make milkshakes?!

[Yotsuba, no.]

[brbtalkingtogod]

We can have them before we make the milkshakes as well.

[Better to have something where nothing could go wrong.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[Especially since Yotsuba, like most children, could and would make a mess in the kitchen when she was trying out new things.]

Oh! That's a good idea, Lucifel! Lets eat some yummy Banana Splits! Then we can make milkshakes!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Not would it be new things only, but also finding out how a kitchen works for Lucifel. So this might be the better way.]

And if we can not make the milkshakes today, we have the whole month to do so.

[sunflowerfairy]

[It probably was. At least, until Lucifel got some cooking lessons.]

That's true! We don't have any curry here, but we have yummy milk and milkshakes and Banana Splits!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Probably not even then...]

That makes up a lot, doesn't it?

[sunflowerfairy]

[Lucifel...

While Yotsuba didn't know quite what Lucifel was getting at there, she just went along with it and kept on smiling.]

It does! Even though Daddy's curry isn't here, it's still really yummy!

[brbtalkingtogod]

And there is cake too.

[Even though the cake is a lie. In a way.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[In a way it was. However, Yotsuba didn't know that, and since cake was the holy grail of all desserts, her eyes got wide and she looked up at Lucifel in amazement.]

There's cake here?! Where?!
