[help]

Ehhhh. I'm less sober, so, y'know. It's a start.

It is!

[ ...he's just going to order a beer because he doesn't feel like dealing with the effects of the other drinks. ]

A little awkward coming back from one of those things as the least injured person, hm?

No kidding. I'm still not sure how it worked out that way.

[me, britt, screaming every time i rolled high with the dice]

Guess we just got lucky.

[ ...he also just like, deliberately walked away from some things, but, you know. ]

So, what happened? Hopefully it's easier to summarize than last week's fiasco was.

...short version is we had to go on an expedition to bring a bunch of stuff back. Except it was dangerous and there were monsters around that would attack us, because of course there were.

Of course.

What were you supposed to be bringing back?

[tiredly:]

Books.

[ haunted by your librarian past ]

On whose request?

Some people whose names I straight up cannot remember. But it was like... I guess post-apocalyptic is the genre it'd be if it was a movie? So we needed the books for like, knowledge and stuff, or else it'd all be lost.

[ huh. ]

Was Blue Hawaiian there the whole time?

Yeah. They didn't seem to understand how they ended up there, either. It was weird.

That is weird! Were they participating in the book retrieval mission like the rest of you?

[he nods]

Yeah, there wasn't anything different about what they were doing compared to what we were doing. We were all stuck in it together.

Interesting. And they had their usual "demon" appearance the whole time as well?

Is there some reason you think they wouldn't...?

I don't think they're really demons.

Yeah?

[...]

What makes you say that?

I'm very familiar with demons. I'm willing to make some allowances for differences between worlds, but these — at least the ones I've interacted with — really don't feel anything like the ones I know.

...Besides that, they look like cartoons, and some of them have an interest in human fashion that makes very little sense for beings that aren't remotely human-shaped.
