[ It is in fact my other Garry from Ib icon.

Sorry he's just taking a drink direct from the bottle even if it's a big one. He's unhappy. ]

I'd hope that what I was cursed with wasn't maliciously targeted, but unfortunately, it was rather...

[ ...He grimaces. ]

It hit a personal sore spot.

[HE CAN DRINK AS MUCH AS HE WANTS FROM THE BOTTLE peachesmiku.png but with Garry Ib.]

Ah... [There's a little roll of something apologetic and understanding in the vibes.] ...That's happened to me before, so I can understand... Even if you know that it's unintentional, it's still difficult to deal with.

Mm.

[ Hands the bottle back. ]

Hopefully it's out of everyone's system now. They die down significantly after the first day.

Yes, that does seem to be the case... Or it did when we'd watch your side, at least.

[Now they are the bozos getting cursed. He'll take the bottle back and add:] Help yourself if you'd like more. I have a few others in the bag.

[Just different types of alcohol. Oh he misses the sweet relief of being KO'd by substances.]

...

You've started a habit of just lugging them around?

[ Mood-ass because that's what you essentially do in Prehevil in any given run but still. ]

[MOOD-ASS!! Sometimes you need to drink to survive the horrors and sometimes the horrors are accidental trauma or just being balded so often.]

I haven't, but maybe I ought to, if this is a taste of how the week may look.

I'd suggest keeping a smaller set of variety, since we fortunately happen to have choices. You can only drink so much wine until you're sick of it, and it's all we had in the refectory.

[ He's good on wine for a long while. At least, unless it's a really nice vintage. ]

Oh, I do have more.

[REACHING INTO HIS BAG AND JUST PULLING UP LIKE VODKA AND MELON LIQUEUR AND SCHNAPPS.]

[ What's Lucas so funny for. He looks over the bottles. ]

You're practically ready to start making cocktails on the go.

[He is but one of many jesters in this circle of hell.]

Unfortunately I have no bartending knowledge, so I'll have to simply supply the alcohol to those with better means of doing something with it.

A shitty cocktail is still technically a cocktail, and probably better-tasting than taking it straight.

Anyway, try not to become an alcoholic though.

True, I suppose. I'll stop by Jamba Juice.

[JUST ADD VODKA TO SMOOTHIES it's the little things in life.]

Ah. ...I think I'll be fine, but thank you...

...For a regular drink, or a medium to down more alcohol in?

[ Sir. ]

Just saying, it's an easy slippery slope.

[ He just feels like he should warn him just in case because well. His era. It's wartime. He has seen a lot of alcoholism and drug addiction. ]

...The former. [No it's the latter but he doesn't want to worry Daan now. BAD NEWS ABOUT ADDICTION.]

My body metabolizes alcohol very quickly, so it isn't too great a problem, but I'll take care.

[WHY IS HIS BODY JUST A FREAKASS BODY.]

An effect of all that Reliver stuff?

[ Lucas doesn't have to answer but also what the fuck. ]

Oh... No, I'm not a Reliver.

[THERE IS SOME strange reflexive violence when he says this in the pit of his soul but it's a there and gone thing, like the shape of a fish in murky water. Gooby.]

But I do have a genetic disorder that's the cause of my strength, and potentially other oddities like this...

[VIRCHE SCIENCE.]
