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...))

We'll just have to see about that.

[technologic]

I swear I will, and then I'll gloat about it for days.

[alephbet]

Oh noooo.

[Still smiling.]

[technologic]

Yep! I will make sure not to gloat in front of others, though.

[alephbet]

That's good of you.

[technologic]

W-well, it would be mean of me to embarrass my husband t-too much.

[alephbet]

I don't think that would make for a very good marriage if we were always embarrassing each other.

[technologic]

Mmhm, that's true. Luckily we don't do too much of that anyway.

[alephbet]

And thus we'll have the happiest marriage in the tower.

[technologic]

Ehe, yep! ... Though a-aren't we the only marriage in the t-tower?

[alephbet]

Well... possibly.

[technologic]

Well, in that c-case we can be the happiest couple in general in the tower!

[alephbet]

I think we can!

[technologic]

Yeah, I think so too! I mean, we've been pretty happy together so far, right?

[alephbet]

I've been happy. I like to think you have too.

[technologic]

Of course I am! You would know if I wasn't happy.

[alephbet]

I think I would. But it's good to hear, too.

[technologic]

[Blink, and she then gives him a soft smile.] Mmm, w-well, don't worry. I'm always happy with you, no matter what.

... B-but if I do something to upset you, you'll let me know, r-right?

[alephbet]

If that unlikely event ever occurs, I will.

[technologic]

Hmm? Why do you say i-it's unlikely?

[alephbet]

Because you're wonderful and you don't upset anybody unless they really deserve it.

[technologic]

[She looks a little sheepish about that.] ... I-I can't really remember that l-last time I upset someone...

[alephbet]

Exactly my point.

[technologic]

Though, u-um... Have I ever m-made you upset?

[alephbet]

Not recently. Maybe back before we were dating?
