Hi, um! I'm alive again, in case anyone was worried. Which you shouldn't have been! Everything that happened was my fault and I was kind of dumb, but, you know. If you were.. I really am sorry. I was reckless and that was selfish.

[ Jade's in her room again; she looks fine but certainly sleepy even as she rubs at her eyes with her wrist. ]

So it seems like we're gonna be here for a little while. A little while longer, at least, I guess? So Orihime and I were wondering if anyone wanted to help us work at the restaurant. Sweden's gone, so it's just me and her, and that's kind of a little much, even for the two of us!

If you're interested, would you let one of us know? I really, really love the Highwind, and I don't want to see it go out of business. We can pay you fairly!

I nabbed one of your table-flippy ones the other day.

[Setting the glasses down she gets right to it, pouring wine in to both until they are 3/4 full]

Here!

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade takes one of the glasses, laughing a little. ]

This is the second time I've ever drank.

[tipsygnostalgia]

When was the first time?

[Roxy picks up her glass and sits down near Jade, having a drink]

Worst thing about that battle is I had to be sober for it. Suuuuucked so much.

[nukeoleptic]

Um! I had a little vodka in some hot chocolate Draco and I had.

[ She wrinkles her nose. ]

Well, I'm glad you were sober for it!

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah believe me I was as sober as a nun and it sucked.

Gonna change that now though.

[nukeoleptic]

Do nuns stay sober?

[ SHE'S EARNESTLY CURIOUS. ]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Pretty sure nuns don't get drunk in the first place!

[nukeoleptic]

Well, I guess! [ She's cracking up. ] I know they're supposed to be pious, I didn't know what that meant about alcohol.

[tipsygnostalgia]

I know shit about nuns but I doubt they get drunk.

[nukeoleptic]

So that pretty much tosses you out of the running for nun, huh?

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah what with the drinking, cursing, constant pissing off of gods here and love for the fellas I don't think I'm gonna be no nun anytime soon.

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade cracks up a little at that, nodding twice. ]

Yooou should give me more wine.

when i start doing normal tags in pink its time to log off. sob

[tipsygnostalgia]

Here ya go then.

[Grabbing the bottle and pouring more into the glasses.]

bahaha

[nukeoleptic]

-- Roxy, d'you mind if I ask why you drink so much?

[tipsygnostalgia]

It tastes nice!

[Nooo Jade you aren't going down this road are you?]

[nukeoleptic]

No it doesn't!

[ But she takes another sip, settling back. ]

You know I'm right here, right? If you ever wanna talk?

[tipsygnostalgia]

[She's silent a bit before mulling it over. In the end, she decides to just come out and say it.]

I spent almost sixteen years living on my own with nothing but water and weird chess aliens that can't even communicate properly, and a well stocked alcohol cabinet. There isn't really anything else to tell.

[nukeoleptic]

I can't believe Rose left you with all that liquor. That just seems- well, it seems like it was a bad idea!

[ Her nose is wrinkled a little, fingers drumming against the side of her glass. ]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah well, Dave left Dirk with a lifetime supply of orange soda, so...

[nukeoleptic]

And I left Jake all alone on the island.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah but that wasn't your fault, you got murdered. Just like they did it, it was non of your faults.

[nukeoleptic]

I know, I know. And I know it's too late, now.. I just wish there was more we could do.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Well there really isn't. it's okay though, I mean we all muddled through.

[nukeoleptic]

Still. Ugh. I wish we could be kids again. I miss it.

[tipsygnostalgia]

I don't! We're pretty much the perfect age right now, stick another 2 years on me or something and we're golden.

[Aka legal.]
