Right? It's nicer, I think! There's not as much bitterness.

[aubins]

I wonder if it's partially what you're used to. If I worked that hard to get used to normal wine, might as well drink it.

[ why am i talking about wine i don't drink ]

[touchups]

[grips ur shoulders... you and hei just sweating about drinks in threads while i cry]

True, I guess! No point putting good work to waste.

[aubins]

[ mahio is right wine fucking sucks ]

Or free alcohol. Besides, people are more willing to talk when they have a drink or two in them. Much easier than trying to whittle information out of someone when they're sober.

[touchups]

[HE IS RIGHT!! FUCK WINE.]

Ah! There's the pragmatism. [SASUGA, GUY WHO'S WORKING TOWARD SOME NEBULOUSLY IMPORTANT GOAL... Humans are reliably ambitious and cunning!! Sometimes.]

I guess that makes sense. Good thing; I wouldn't wanna be sober if I was gonna be drinking that stuff all night, either.

[aubins]

[ dead flea dead flea. ]

It's true though.

It usually does taste better the more you drink, yes.

[HE'S THE DLEA!]

Pretty funny, huh? Probably not good for everyone's collective livers or whatever.

[aubins]

[ HE'S THE DLEA................................................... ]

People will drink rather regardless of health complications, honestly. It's addictive.

[touchups]

[THE.... DLEAAA.]

Oh, yeah! I know that. People will really just do whatever even if it hurts 'em, huh?

[aubins]

If they have to, then I can see the logic. People are stubborn. And they like doing what they want.

[touchups]

Would you say it's a good thing or a bad thing?

[aubins]

Ah, it's never that clear cut. Not all selfishness is bad, and neither is all stubborness. Context matters, after all.

Why? What do you think?

[touchups]

I think you're right! People are messy and complicated.

[EXHAUSTING!! He loves it. He also hates it. It's complicated, too.]

[aubins]

[ stop he's a flea ]

That we are. There's probably some spiel out there about our natures helping and hindering us, but I don't think I'd care to learn it or recite it.

[touchups]

Oh, there are tons! But they're all pretty boring once you cut 'em down to their cores, so.

[SHRUGGING.]

[aubins]

Too wordy and pretentious for you?

[touchups]

Yup! Quoting things is fine, but when you just have a mouthful of nonsense to work through, what's the point?

[Down with purple prose.]

[aubins]

Some people love that kind of stuff though. They read into it and assign meaning without actually caring what the writer really meant.

[touchups]

People love doing that with all kinds of things! Way more than just stuffy books.

[aubins]

They do. I guess we like to over-analyse everything. At least in books it's written and stays consistent, rather than changing a little every time through oral verse.
