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...))

I just... I-I wasn't used to s-someone wanting to be my friend, so I-I... Didn't really handle it well.

[alephbet]

I don't make friends well either... at least back then I was more used to having to kill people, or making contracts with demons - it's not the same.

[technologic]

Y-yeah, I was more used to just... w-working or coming up with plans. A-a-and with h-how bad my self-esteem was, I-I didn't understand why y-you wanted to be my friend.

[She gets a brief hug.]

[technologic]

[Hugging back with a blink.] Aleph?

[alephbet]

I'm glad things have changed.

[technologic]

[Another blink. And then she smiles.] ... Y-yeah, I am too.

... D-do you think if we d-didn't have all those hiccups, we w-would have started dating earlier?

[alephbet]

Probably, we would have. I can't say for sure but it would have been nice.

[technologic]

Mmhm, it would have... Though I'm curious now, when did you start having a, um... 'c-crush' on me?

A long time ago, before I asked you out. I don't remember exactly.
