[ he might just live in this bar now.

the drink gets a head tilt. ? ]

...

[ oh. ]

That the one you mentioned before?

[teufelshund]

That's the one. Was going to bring one over earlier, but then you got caught up in that investigation and everything.

[psynchronise]

Right, the last minute bar run. What a mess.

[ man. he rubs a hand over his face. ]

Thanks.

[teufelshund]

[ the good news — at least for him — is that the poodle puff has expired along with the static as of the end of trial. ]

Hopefully Brokeback Mountain wasn't some kind of jinx.

[ like, damn, here goes half their group. ]

[psynchronise]

… [ oh. oof. ]

Well, it was a tragedy. Maybe we should’ve watched something else.

[ TRULY. 50% of the team, gone.

he’s still got his stupid straw from the trial so that’s going straight in the drink. if he has to plod through grim acceptance and bitter frustration, he’s going to do it with a comedically over the top straw.

but he does pause to nod at mephisto’s now normal looking hair. ]

Shed your electrifying personality at last?

[teufelshund]

[ yeah, these straws really do something for the mood. ]

Never. Only my static.

[psynchronise]

Ha ha.

[ if it’s possible to dryly sip a drink, he’s doing it. ] There goes a very handy excuse to avoid all the trial checks with minimal fuss.

[ and then he pauses, and blinks. ]

… Huh. Okay, that does have a kick.

[teufelshund]

I am going to miss that part of it.

[ honestly a miracle he's been able to avoid them all for this long...

observing that reaction, he smiles. ]

It's fun, right?

[psynchronise]

Yeah, one day you’re going to have to go along with it. Probably.

[ probably. ]

… [ well he’s drinking more, so. ] Mm. Yeah, okay. I think I get it — the whole sweet and spicy thing.

[teufelshund]

[ we'll see. ]

Yes! The perfect combination! ☆

It's a little more mainstream than it used to be. Sweet Thai chili has been having something of a moment lately.

[psynchronise]

[ personally i think it’d be funny if he just kept dodging checks. ]

I don’t think I ever tried it? Even though it’s been around—[ well. ] I assume it’s been around a while. [ … ] So, that drink was like this but with a garlic taste. That’s what you meant?

[ the mysteries are being solved. ]

[teufelshund]

...Something like that.

[ he keeps TELLING you it's more ramune and you KEEP FOCUSING ON THE GARLIC but. sure. ]

[psynchronise]

[ BECAUSE THE GARLIC IS THE WEIRD PART. ]

[teufelshund]

[ APPARENTLY HE SHOULD HAVE SAID SPICY RAMEN AND NOT EVEN MENTIONED THE FLAVOR ]

[psynchronise]

[ yeah he just hyperfixated on the garlic and strawberry part and now they have to live with that. ]

[teufelshund]

[ the funniest part is that when i went back and reread scenes for memshares there was one where he said his favorite was super spicy pork miso ramen so the garlic's a lie anyway ]

[psynchronise]

[ i mean there's always i chance i personally just don't know how to read in this hobby that requires lots of reading. that's very funny. ]

[psynchronise]

[ after a moment or two though he basically just gives up and thunks his head on the counter with a sigh. ]

How many more weeks until we get to drink Satan under a table or whatever it is we're doing?

[teufelshund]

Less than four, if I recall correctly.

[psynchronise]

[ he doesn't say anything for a moment, he just raises his hand and turns his stupid "yay" straw so the word is facing mephisto.


yay. ]




... [ eventually he turns his head so he's not just talking into the wood counter: ] Not sure I like how we've gone from fully-in-command, knowing-what-they-were-doing cases to these more ambiguous ones though.

[teufelshund]

A bit disconcerting to have had these twice in a row now, hm?

[psynchronise]

Disconcerning, disheartening, disturbing... [ a lot of 'dis's. ]

I don't like that both Lavi and Uriel just forgot everything that happened though.

[teufelshund]

I'll have to try to get the details from her before tomorrow. It's difficult to tell whether that happened the same way for both of them. It seemed like she remembered something, at least, even if she was confused about it.

[psynchronise]

[ closes my eyes. ]

Either way it ended with her killing someone she cared about. The details will help figure out what the hell is going on, hopefully but--

[ he shrugs. his head is still just on the counter, he lives here now. ]

-- the outcome's the same.

[teufelshund]

Close to it, at least.

[ honestly, this one's a lot more disappointing to him because uriel is really hot. ]

In any case, I can safely say that if I wake up in the middle of the night on a Thursday going forward, I won't be leaving the room unless someone is actually approaching with a weapon.
