Report 057 - [Accidental Video]

[The PCD turns on to show a hand pulling away from it.  Soon, it can be seen that that hand belongs to Riza as she moves to stand in front of the cabinets in the kitchen of the House of Love and Pictures.  Even though her back is to the feed, it's obvious she's unsure about something.  Her hands clench and unclench at her sides and she rocks back and forth, shifting weight from one foot to the other.

Finally, with a short exhale, she reaches toward one of the upper cabinets and pulls out a nearly empty bottle of brandy.  Standing on her tiptoes to peer into the cabinet, Riza then also pulls out a shot glass.  Well, this is a start.  She sets both on the counter in front of her and...hesitates before opening the bottle, but only for a moment.  Soon enough, the amber liquid fills the shot glass and Riza throws it back, then sets the glass back down (with a little more force than necessary) and shakes her head back and forth, cringing.

She breathes for  second, then repeats, though now the bottle is empty.]


...This isn't enough.

[Sighing, she leans over the counter, resting on her elbows, and lets her head fall into her hands.  She doesn't move and the feed switches off.]

Ya sure that's wise?

[Raises an eyebrow]

It's generally a stupid idea to let your guard down in this city.

Sure you could... if you weren't trying to get drunk off your ass. Unless you know drunk fu, then you're probably gonna be an easy target for the many dangers out there.

I know when someone's trying to get drunk off their ass, Miss. Seen it often enough with Pops and the old lech.

It is if something happens to someone else because you couldn't control yourself. Besides, people would be concerned about you for trying to kill your liver like that.

Just the one shot? [She snorts] Of course it isn't.

Still. Nowhere near enough if you're really looking to get drunk.

[She sighs, because for once she's not just heckling without a cause, but whatever. And then she leaves the PCD running and ducks out of sight for a second, and then reappears with a bottle of... something. Presumably alcoholic. About 3/4s full.]

You want some help, in that case?

...Fine.

[Sighs]

If you're gonna have'ta get drunk, at least do it in style. You want any mixed drinks? I know how to make them.

No better alternatives?

-=there's a small pout on his face, but he's not going to chastise her.=-

If you go out, you will have someone to help you home? -=regardless, he may go be a silent sentinal any way.=-
