7th Partridge [Voice][Let's talk about beer]

[pearheaded]

[Ian woke up on the roof he'd randomly picked to nest on come on people don't always like to sleep on soggy muddy weed patches, and just felt like talking. What, you'd never had that happen? It's pretty much a daily thing for him. Not to mention, he has a lot on his mind, after that last event. There was something extraordinarily refreshing about being a human. One like his mother and father, his villages, many of his patients, so many long dead... It's really something to feel all that. As he finds himself being pecked in the head by a fatass partridge, he whips out his journal.

... btw, don't mind the partridge stabbing him in the scalp. Birdy's in a pissy mood or something. Like usual.]

[Voice]

Maaaan, that experiment thing was way too short... I wish it coulda' stuck around for me. But I guess some of you didn't have very fun times, huh? ... Still, I could've done without beer. Seriously, what is it you guys even like about that stuff? It tastes awful. Just awful!! Not to mention... getting drunk isn't any fun, either. I woke up upside down in a tree with the worst headache!

What's so special about it, that so many fellas drink it?

I mean, it was nice at first even with the taste, but once you start losing pieces of your memory and throw up a lot, it sounds like it's kinda' a problem...

[And when that's all said and done, he'll shut his journal, start toward the edge of the roof to jump down, and trip over debris. If it's your roof, you might hear a loud crash outside your house. It's not an Ian post if he's not violently being clumsy, right? :|a]

You actually drank that stuff?

[Ven makes a rather scrunched up face.]

You should've gone for something sweeter, like juice!

[Granted, Ven doesn't know that much about alcohol, but it must be pretty nasty if it gives people headaches.]

Well, I wanted to see what the big deal about drinking was! And then someone told me I didn't drink enough for it to be any fun, so I thought I'd just try more!


... It's not all bad, though. There's sweet-tasting alcohol. Somehow!

I dunno. If you get a headache outta it, how's that fun?

[It sounds so... weird.]

Re: voice

[pearheaded]

There wasn't a headache at first! It felt kinda nice at first!


Maybe I just drank too much of it.

I'm more of a wine person myself. Beer is great and all, but wine has a more refined taste.

Re: [Voice]

[pearheaded]

... Wine? What the heck's that?

[They haven't actually... made wine in his world. Obviously his world is a sad and awful place. B^|]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Wine is the same kinda stuff as beer, it's alcohol. But instead of bein' made from starch stuff, it's made from grapes.

Re: [Voice]

[pearheaded]

... You can get drunk off grapes?

[voice]

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

Well it's a social practice for many people. The effects it has, in moderation, produce an effect that many beings like to experience while in the company of others under the same effect. [...Um] And in general, most of those same people do well to avoid getting drunk, actually.

[Because, well, sie's been drunk before and sie agrees. And maybe sie's not being entirely truthful because sie knows those who like to get drunk too, but most seem to, like her, prefer only a buzzing]

Re: [voice] 1/2

[pearheaded]

Okay! So I just... need to not drink as much next time—!

Re: [voice]

[pearheaded]

[aaaand he flinches at himself, frowning.

And he lets that frown deepen.]

Uh, yeah. Next time.

[voice]

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

Next time? [Sie intended to make a great agreement, but his... reaction stopped hir.]

Re: [voice]

[pearheaded]

O-oh! Nothing!

[Because it'll only depress him, to think about the stuff he'll be missing out on.]

Do you do a lot of drinking?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

You know, you don't have to drink so much that you pass out.

Re: [voice]

[pearheaded]

Yeah, well, I'm normally used to drinking a lot of normal stuff... so I didn't think it'd make me so sick, drinking that much! Blegh!

Re: [voice]

[justicereigns]

Live and learn kid.

Re: [voice]

[pearheaded]

Hey! I'm not a kid, I'll have you know! I'm probably even older than you!

voice

[boxedoff.livejournal.com]

Why did you drink so much of it, then?

Re: voice

[pearheaded]

Well, I wasn't really trying to, but I didn't realize I'd drank so much, and someone said I should keep drinking because being drunk was a lot of fun!!

[You could probably coax Ian off a cliff, if you tried hard enough.]

voice

[boxedoff.livejournal.com]

It's never looked fun to me.

[O Ian.]

Re: voice

[pearheaded]

It didn't? But everyone jumping around, smiling, laughing being merry!

I'd always wanted to be merry, too!! And for what I remember, I totally was!!

[The scene outside House 53 is mostly serene today...until someone falls off the roof. Typical comical scene, amirite?

Except that there's a window on the ground floor opening and a curious face will be looking out at Ian as the occupant of the room leans out of that sill right about...now. He thumbs to the right.]

The front door's that way.

[Ian jumps to his feet. Er, foot. The other one is bent at an impossible angle.]

OH, yes! I'm sorry about that! I actually just—I was sleeping on the roof for a night! Yes! Because roofs are pretty nice! I think the bumpy surface gets the, uh, kinks out of my back!

[pearheaded]

[stumble, stumble, THUD, he's on his face again. nothin' new here.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

... [wow ow]

You might want to sit down for a bit. Do you want to come in?
