{Seventeen (45)} &diams A malibu and coke for you, a G&T for me

[[ooc: Pretend this showed up around mid-morning.]]

[There's an ink splotch, like she pressed too hard with a leaky pen. When words appear, they're scrawled haphazardly across the page with none of Fred's usual penmanship.]

sorry I missed the morning session youth I ll come into work tomorrow

fred

[There will be an IC delay before Fred replies to comments, since she got up long enough to drink some water and then stumbled right back into bed.]

Comments

[spandexisyouth]

I had a feeling that you would not be up to it.

[He feels sorry for her, because he's had a hangover once, but he did try to tell her she was more than tipsy last night.]

[burnt_orangesky]

[The reply comes after a few hours. But it's still a haphazard scrawl.]

neednt sound so smug

[spandexisyouth]

I am sure I do not sound smug. It is written.

[burnt_orangesky]

[Slight pause while she discovers that the cider was alcoholic. When she writes again, she's obviously making more of effort with her penmanship and vocabulary.]

the bloody cider was spiked. I intended to stop drinking after my second [pen tap, then that's crossed out] third alcoholic beverage.

[spandexisyouth]

That is a good idea. Or after the second. How many had you already had before I ran into you?

[burnt_orangesky]

[There is quite a long pause now.]

One.

[spandexisyouth]

[Pentaps.]

You are sure?

[burnt_orangesky]

Absolutely positive. My memory does not become questionable until much later in the evening.

[spandexisyouth]

You were not walking very well, though. And you were very giggly. I think perhaps that one is a lot for you if you only had one at that point.

[burnt_orangesky]

But I have had more than that before and I did not become intoxicated then. It makes very little sense.

[spandexisyouth]

Maybe it was the drink? Was it a stronger drink?

backdateeeed

[ghost_of_00]

[There'll be strong tea waiting for Fred in the microwave whenever she manages to emerge.]

\o/

[burnt_orangesky]

[00 will have Fred's undying gratitude, after she finds it.

...hopefully there isn't any aspirin.]

backdated too

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Where did all your energy go, Fred? You seemed awfully perky last night.

[burnt_orangesky]

[There's a pause of a few hours; she's found the tea 00 left by now, so her penmanship is... not quite as graceful as usual, but it's not a scrawl anymore, at least.]

I was intoxicated. I would hardly choose to act 'perky' in my right mind, Bell.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Shame. I'm sure Gai liked having a perky, giggly blond reddish-blond girl on his arm for once.

Lol

[burnt_orangesky]

[Pen taps, because she reeeeeally wants to deny that she was giggling when she met Gai.]

I was hardly hanging off his arm.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Barely is probably the better word to describe how you were on his arm. But 'hardly' is about right. It was a good thing he had a good hold on you.

[burnt_orangesky]

[...all this blushing isn't making her headache feel any better.]

The one time we met I took his arm, yes, but I was not so far gone at that point that he needed to hold me up.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Ah.

I take it you don't recall how you got home then, hm?

[burnt_orangesky]

[A pause; yeeeep, really not doing anything for her headache.]

No.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, it's a little late for a "cute girls should be careful, because men could take advantage of you in that state" lecture. Given that it's the morning after the party now, I mean.

[burnt_orangesky]

Believe you me, I do not intend to be in such a state ever again.

[spandexisyouth]

But if it does happen again, I will leave a note next time. I am sorry. I forgot that you would not remember getting home.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you don't. Though those kinds of states do have their...advantages, even for the one in them.


But next time, maybe you should get your own boyfriend to escort you home. Or I might charge a lending fee for any future uses of mine.
