This is not how healthy individuals deal with their problems.

[dorkypantsuit]

Who: Psi and Open
What: Drinking Alien Booze
Where: The Cookhouse and Around (see prompts)
When: Right after the supervisor meeting.
Warnings: People using alcohol in unhealthy ways. Drunkenness. Adult language highly likely.

He takes to the air as soon as the meeting is over, sick of looking at that weird symbol and sick of listening to everybody talk about what to do next. All the other supervisors seemed to feel like some kind of violent response was necessary. Perhaps in their minds if the carnival didn't respond it would allow the vampires a second chance to attack. The Psionic, however, didn't agree with that line of thinking. The reality was that none of them had any way of knowing if the vampires were considering a second attack or not. The Psionic really didn't see anything wrong with getting rid of sygil and leaving it at that. It was weakening the wards, so of course they needed to remove it, but so long as the wards could be fixed they were safe here.

Even as he thinks that he can't help but feel some small sense of doubt. Even if he did feel that way, everyone else seemed to disagree. Was he missing something that seemed obvious to everyone else? Maybe they knew something he didn't. It's those sorts of fears and anxieties that begin to emerge as he flies. He doesn't want to remember the first attack, but the images come unbidden as his worries grow. Would a kid as young as Bonnie be forced to defend herself from beings like that? Miko and Lars were older. They were a bit more capable and a bit more annoying, but could they truly stand up to a foe like that?

It's nights like these when the Psionic misses his Alternian companions most. They had always know what to say and do. Their absence stings tonight in a way it hasn't in a long time, so where he ends up doing really isn't much of a surprise.

I. The Cookhouse
When he finds the bottle he holds it up victoriously. The drink inside appears to be a truly distressing shade of fluorescent lavender. He smiles before twisting off the top and pouring himself a drink. It's an Alternian liquor, or at least that's what the label seems to imply.

"This stuff is the best. Here, try this." And if you're nearby he pours you a drink. Even if you're not that nearby he'll probably end up calling you over. "This is what real liquor tastes like."

II. Around the Carnival

He's just a little bit drunk right now. He isn't stumbling, but his psionics seem to be going off much more frequently then normal.

"Hey, you! You!" he shouts loudly as he see's you walking by. He rapidly waves your character over before excitedly asking them, "Truth or dare?"

III. Supervisor Grove

Now he's really really drunk. He probably should not have drank that entire bottle, but it's too late for regrets now. His head is spinning, which is annoying, and he keeps wobbling a bit as he tries to balance himself. He stumbles, tries to catch himself with his own psionics, misjudges the force and ends up pushing himself flat on his back in the opposite direction. There's the thud of his body hitting the ground before before he just starts laughing hysterically. He makes no attempt to get up whatsoever.

"Neither," answers John Childermass, who is far too sober for anything a drunken Psi might consider fun.

He'd retreated from the medical tent (and Strange's spying) before the supervisor's meeting had drawn to an end, supposedly to rest, but mostly to put an end to a completely non-sigil related argument. Unfortunately, rest doesn't come easy when you're stuck wondering what the hell happened after all, so instead he's seated on the steps of his own trailer, filling the time by — once again — writing in one of his little memo books.

As much as he'd been hoping to spot a supervisor on the way back from the meeting, spotting one being drunk and disorderly isn't exactly what he'd meant. He does stop writing to look up, though, and keep an eye on Psi as he approaches.

"Have you been drinking?"

Kind of obviously yes, sure, but it doesn't hurt to make sure.

Susan doesn't even question it when the Psionic waves him over, interested to see what's going on. The question though makes him pause, since he's never played that game before or even heard of it (where would you when you live in a forest?).

"What do you mean?"

The thing about staying around to creep on the supervisor meeting long enough is that you actually see some interesting things. And hey, even if the log's still going and sigils have yet to be blown up, the Ringmaster yelled at some people and that in itself is worthy of gossip. So, Strange has left the medical tent and is walking around the carnival itself, trying to find Childermass in an attempt to gossip and...well, maybe sort of apologize for the fight. Maybe. Even if the other man was needlessly stubborn about the stupid timeline.

Instead, he spots Psi who...well, even from afar Strange can tell that the poor man's a bit drunk. Still, he doesn't have to be at his fullest facilities to answer a simple question. So, as the other man waves him over, Strange decides to walk on over to the supervisor.

As Psi starts his question, Strange asks, at the same time, "You haven't seen Childermass around, have you?" Oh, wait, there was a question. There's a pause before Strange answers, "Dare?" After all, what's the worst that Psi could dare him to do?

Ginko didn't really come to the Cookhouse with drinking in mind, but he doesn't really see any need to turn down the offer. ...Especially given how his shoulder keeps hurting. The sooner that finishes healing, the better, and in the meantime he guesses he'll just put up with it.

And stick to light work, which is a little annoying.

However, he does raise an eyebrow at the color of the liquid as he examines it in his glass. "Should I ask what it is, or is it better that I don't know?"

"Uh... Dare?"

What the heck had she just gotten into and why was he running around challenging random people to truth-or-dare contests? Was she even allowed to say no? He's in charge of some stuff around here, right?

[puddingemote]

Tamaki has seen the Psionic around (he's hard to forget, after all) and even talked to him briefly, but he's a bit confused when the Psionic suddenly starts calling out to him. He was just on his way to the cookhouse, and doesn't really want to be stopped, but since the Psionic is a supervisor he supposes he ought to see what's wanted of him.

He raises an eyebrow when asked. "A game? But I'm going to eat now..."

This is still far and away not the strangest situation Sora has seen Psi in, the honor of which goes to that time in the Matrix where Psi was laughing for no reason. This -is- the first time Sora's seen him in his actual form, but at least this time it's probably the alcohol that's to do with his strange behavior and not just a random lapse in sanity.

He'll come over anyway, though, because, honestly, he's curious.

"Ummmmm... Truth, I guess?" Sora answers tentatively.

[sunflowerfields]

Hinawa can tell something is off about him as he approaches, and it becomes clear when he opens his mouth. Instead of answering his request, she places her hands on her hips and tsks disapprovingly.

"You've been drinking, haven't you, sir?"

[pipers_son]

Oh boy. Joker recognize a huge drunk when he sees it.

There's the sound of wings flapping as he take the easy way of going straight from the steps of his trailer to Psi's side, leaning over the alien with a fond grin. "I hope ya left some booze for the rest of us in the cookhouse, mate."

This is fantastic. Viktor never really had the chance to drink with his bosses before - usually, his coaches were all business all the time. This was a welcomed surprise. Still, he didn't have quite the expansive knowledge of liquor, so he couldn't quite imagine what 'real liquor' tasted like. Daringly, he tries it.

"Hm.... what is that strange flavor? I've never tasted something like this before." He kind of squints at the glass, marveling at the peculiar taste, trying to put his thumb on it. It definitely didn't taste like the wine he was accustomed to.
