WEEK 4

[bathymetric]

Another trial, another week, and still you're probably running lower on answers than you'd like. And on people - you lost three since last Sunday. By the end of this week, you'll have been here for nearly a full month, yet still the days crawl on.

You wake up Sunday, again with no memory of Saturday, but this time with a simple message on your devices: You may resume requesting items, if you like. Enjoy. Guess it really was just a stealth motive after all, but at least it's being communicated that it's over! That's something, at least.

And when you leave your rooms on Sunday, there's another new area to explore! This one is... certainly more ambitious in its construction than the last one, to say the least. But hey, you have a pretty neat place to host parties, if you feel so inclined! That's... fun...

Hey, you gotta find the fun in situations like this where you can! Silver linings, right?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 4! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! ]

[ Poor thing... ]

I get the feeling you wouldn't want to do that now, anyway. Three shots of anything is really no joke, let alone something this strong. You'd be slammed eight ways to Sunday, scientifically speaking.

[ Is that really scientific..? ]

But either way, to me, you've got nothing to prove.

[nothingcanstop]

I ain't trying to prove anything, it's just... Ugh, feels bad.

[ Grumble, grumble. She rubs her temples. Bacardi hits fast. That water, much nicer. ]

And here I was givin' advice to... [ ...Erk. That feels worse. She trails off. ]

[snackooed]

[ Della doesn't finish that sentence, but Ema can probably venture a guess as to how she was going to, all things considered. She props an elbow against the bar and puts her chin in her palm. ]

I'm sure it was good advice, in good faith. But I know what you mean. Not to be maudlin, but it's frustrating, when you realize you have more limits than you might've thought, right? Even when it comes to something kind of small.

[nothingcanstop]

...Yeah. Something along those lines. [ She drums her fingers against the bar as she takes another big gulp of water. ] I think for now I'll stick to what I know I can take. Maybe...heck, even some of that...

[ Oh, huh. She pauses for a moment. ]

Appletini.

[snackooed]

Next time you drop by, if I decide to take up another shift, I'll gladly make you one of those, Della. I don't wanna brag, but I made Therion a mean spiked apple cider not too long before you got here. And between you and me? He was looking pretty pink in the cheeks by the time he left.

[nothingcanstop]

Uh...huh. Actually, I was wondering. Is there any premixed back there? Wanted to see what the bottle looks like.

[ Because, Della's got a hunch. A rather distracted hunch. ]

[snackooed]

There should be. I think I saw every flavor under the sun back here, when I was poking around before.

[ She grabs a lime with her garnish tongs and turns around with it, popping it in her mouth to suck on while she searches through bottles. That liquor taste is persistent-- ]

Let's see, it should be pretty darn gr--bingo.

[ True to her word, green as green can be. ]

This what you were looking for?

[nothingcanstop]

[ Well, that's a dandy question! Yeah, is it the same Appletini she got from Angel? ]

[bathymetric]

[ It sure is! Might as well be the exact same bottle. ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ ...Fun. ]

Yeah. Yeah, it's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks, Ema. Appreciate it. ...Er- maybe not...to drink, right...now.

[ Another wave of fireball madness!!! ]

[snackooed]

[ Hm, curious... ]

Next time, like I said! Actually, do you want me to grab you a snack? Water helps, but more importantly, you should make sure you're not drinking on an empty stomach...

[nothingcanstop]

[ A little stuck on this, Della takes a moment to acknowledge and nod. ]

Huh? Oh, right- right, food. Never drink on an empty...yadda yadda. Should've thought of that about ten minutes ago.
