week 4, sunday

[aubins]

[ what is up, sqx. ]

Done being a good girl for the weekend?

[ you lush. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Unless this place throws something completely unexpected at us tomorrow, there shouldn't be any trouble with me being a little hungover - if I even get to that point.

[her tolerance is good!! she probably won't even be hungover. she can drink now.]

Care to join me?

[aubins]

[ it's not the week that took away her tolerance, at least. ]

Sure, what are we drinking?

[shiftingwinds]

[she pours him some rice wine!!]

It's a rice wine - it's the most similar to the type I used to drink in my world that I've been able to find.

[aubins]

[ he will give the glass a sniff. ]

This was what you were drinking that weekend, wasn't it? Before, y'know. The robot happened.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods]

That's right. In my defense, I really didn't think I would be picked.

[aubins]

Does anyone?

[ he'll take a sip. mmm. ]

At least you're being cautious now, just in case.

[shiftingwinds]

[sip, sip]

I can't say it's really all that necessary - it's rare for me to drink enough to actually be hungover. [...] But if it puts the others' minds at ease...

[aubins]

I don't exactly blame them, after what happened. Even if it was circumstantial.

[shiftingwinds]

[she sighs]

I can't really blame them, either. I'd have reacted similarly if one of them had been the one to show up hungover.

[aubins]

There you go then. Get through the Saturday, and you can reward yourself on Sunday, like you're doing now.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... that's a plan.

[aubins]

Work and reward, all in one weekend. I think it's pretty efficient.

[shiftingwinds]

[do they even deserve rewards after these trials, though.]

...hopefully it'll be a good motivation as we move forward.

[aubins]

[ yes ]

Has it been working so far?

[shiftingwinds]

[


she thinks about it and takes a long sip of her drink]

Not really, but it's nice to have a drink all the same.

[aubins]

[ pfft. ]

Something, something "too much of a good thing is a bad thing, you enjoy things more when you have them less"?

[shiftingwinds]

I don't think the amount of rice wine I've had is the problem here...

[more like, y'know, all of the getting away with murder that's happening at this indulgence center.]

[aubins]

We need something to cheer us up, in the middle of all of this.

[ and the continuing, ongoing murder. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...ahaha, earlier in the week, Lust and I talked about maybe having some kind of a party.

[so maybe.. that would help...?]

[aubins]

And then everything went a bit to shit?

... It's a nice idea, actually. For everyone.

[shiftingwinds]

...yeah.

[everything sure did go to shit!]

I'll check in with Lust tomorrow and see if they still think it's a good idea.

[aubins]

Sounds like an idea. I think it's something we could all do with.

[shiftingwinds]

[or they could just



have a group spa day]

I agree.

[aubins]

[ i love this spa. ]

You've got to balance out the bad with the good, right?
