*Albedo's not turning on video right now. It's noon, his head is throbbing, his stomach is threatening to rebel and the room feels like it's moving. He can't even focus enough to find the right buttons to filter this.*

Nigredo, what's going on here?

Comments

[breatheinthefog]

The same thing that happened to most of the town, likely.

[fractured_white]

Wonderfully specific, aren't you?

*You're talking to a man who was physically incapable of getting hungover until recently.*

[breatheinthefog]

I don't care. All I know is, they're all miserable.

[fractured_white]

I suppose if it's a result of the other thing so many have in common, the question is merely whether the cause was more entertaining than the result unpleasant.

*Okay, hear that? Saying so much was a bad idea, and that's the sound of him curling up.*

[breatheinthefog]

You mean the party.

[fractured_white]

Indeed.

[breatheinthefog]

Was it all that good?

[voice]

[namedforcat]

Well well, look who's finally awake. You came in awfully late last night.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

I was out enjoying myself. A concept I'm aware you've little familiarity with.

Re: [voice]

[namedforcat]

I have plenty of familiarity with it. I'm just not fond of bars. [He's a little amused now]

You smelt like a brewery.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Afraid you'd make a fool of yourself?

*He probably still smells like alcohol...he's going to need a loooooong bath when he can stand without his entire body turning on him.*

[voice]

[namedforcat]

No, I just prefer something a little more classy. Besides, I have things to do today.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

*Shifting noises shifting noises. Yeah, he's still in bed.*

And how is that different from any other day?

[voice]

[namedforcat]

Early morning meeting. Are you going to do anything or are you just going to lay in a lump all day.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

*More shifting noises...and then FWUMP! No, getting up isn't happening. And now he sounds a bit queasy.*

I hadn't any plans for the day.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

What was that noise...? Did you...?

Wait. Albedo. Are you hung over? [Oh this is priceless]

[voice]

[fractured_white]

I wouldn't recognize that state, seeing as I've been mostly immune to the effects of alcohol until I arrived here.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

[There is a very muffled sound....a very muffled sound that may be suspiciously similar to snickering.]

That's right, isn't it. I wonder how many people are in that state now...How big was that party?

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Don't make me come find you, Nigredo.

*Yet there is a suspicious lack of attempting to move noises.*

I'd say a significant portion of our fellow captives were present.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

I wonder how many of them are in a similar state to you...having a hang over for the first time.

I would, but it would be too easy to evade you I think.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

I couldn't say. I don't make a habit of asking people I meet if they're ordinarily capable of getting drunk.

*There might be some slight muffling there. The side of his face has found the pillow again.*

[voice]

[namedforcat]

I'll be coming back soon. Do you want anything?

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Something to drink that isn't alcoholic. And whatever it is people in this era use to deal with headaches.

*Guess who's found another type of pain he doesn't enjoy?*

[voice]

[namedforcat]

Awww...not feeling too good are we?

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Shut up, Nigredo.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

Alright, alright. I will pick you up some things I think may help. Be good.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Seeing as moving from this spot is far more effort than it's worth at the moment, I see few ways I could cause even your broad view of trouble.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

I never know with you, I'm just covering my bases. [And being an annoying little brother. It's his job you know!]

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Paranoid as ever...

*Shift shift. Listen to him pulling his pillow over his head. Light's bad enough with his albino human body without a headache.*

[voice]

[namedforcat]

Someone has to be. [More snickering]

[voice]

[fractured_white]

You're not funny, Nigredo.

*Very muffled now.*

[voice]

[namedforcat]

Perhaps not. And I hope you took that damn cape off. I don't want you strangling yourself.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

My coordination wasn't even that degraded last night, I'll have you know.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

I don't want to know what you're like drunk.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

What, afraid I'd forget why I don't go about stirring up trouble?

[voice]

[namedforcat]

No, not that. I worry about your sense of humour. [He's calling you a troll, and doesn't want to admit that he's a melancholy drunk.]

[voice]

[fractured_white]

As if you're one to judge what others find amusing.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

What, you don't find me funny?

[voice]

[fractured_white]

I think your sense of humor isn't as kind as you'd claim.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

I never said it was kind, people just think that because I take care of my public image.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Regardless, you've no room to chastise others for what they find amusing.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

You would think.

[voice]

[fractured_white]

Such a hypocrite, Nigredo.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

I wouldn't go that far.
