[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

Comments

[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?

[burnt_orangesky]

I am unsure. It was something I had heard bar patrons speaking about once or twice; given the obvious results, I suppose it must have been.

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps you should ask what was in it. It is possible there was a lot that you did not taste.

[burnt_orangesky]

A good suggestion.

...I will look into it tomorrow.

[spandexisyouth]

Yes. Feel better, and I will see you tomorrow.
