[ A haze of low voices drifts across the audio. Languorous words from the tongues of five am sleepwalkers and barflies, whose minds keep them running on the vapors of thin, early hours. There's the sound of someone pressing communicator keys, followed by a loud curse-  merda - as clumsy hands knock the device into camera mode. All he wanted was to check the weather or something. Lo and behold, there is Amory Felix with a complexion as flush as the cast of red-yellow light draping over him.  ]

Hey. A coke with rum. 

[ The words are set beneath a grumble, as he slides the device to the side, hitting an empty glass with a loud clink. ]

He sits at the bar, looking-- staring at something. Maybe the bartender he just ordered from. Or maybe he's even thinking, contending with the teeth currently gnawing dully at his conscious. His eyes widen and his lips draw to a small smirk as if silence just told a funny joke.  ]

You—You're definitely a two. [ And he can't help but chuckle. ]

[ooc: action is fine, if your character would be out barhopping at 5 am! >> ]

How long was that? Couple of weeks?

I got lost on my way home, Chase. Turned the wrong corner, and had to go inside to ask for directions.

[ He's just. digging nails into the wood right now. ]

[fatespoken]

You're just here to be an asshole, Chase.

[ SIGH. ]

Seven.

Right. I can tell you the way to my building from the square. Take the first rum, and two cokes after that. If you're drinking, fine, but don't lie about it. That's what means you're in trouble.

I'm always an arsehole. Only language you understand.

...You've had seven?

ignore... one of those chases. 1/2

It's called a joke. I'm pretty insulted you'd assume I'd lie that poorly.

But I do have a problem, and admitting doesn't change anything.

[fatespoken]

We could do this in Latin.

Seven drinks, that's it.

I can be an arsehole in Latin if you like. Trying to do this alone doesn't change anything. At least, it bloody rarely works.

[ Why does arsehole sound hilarious when you're drunk? Because it really does. This laughter is for you, Chase. ]

You want to hold my hand? Hold my hand and tell me you'll guide me every step of the way. I can't. I tried. This isn't about logic; if it was, it'd be a different game.
