[022 - I still don't get all my strange behavior. | Video / Spam!]

Nov 24, 2011 11:02

[About an hour ago, Buffy woke up from her coma and, happily, snuck out of the infirmary before any of the attending noticed her. After showering and making herself look perfectly groomed, barge comas are really good at getting rid of the near-permenant dark circles from under her eyes, she's pacing in her newly redecorated cabin, admiring the ( Read more... )

...don't.

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 18:25:55 UTC

[EYEBROW RAAAAISE.] Don't what? Say something? Ask why on earth you felt the need to get completely wasted again? Wonder why you keep doing this to yourself and to everyone around you?

[She takes a breath and calms the agitation in her voice. She speaks with stubborn, solemn resolve.]

Self-destruction doesn't look good on you. Take it from someone who has worn many versions.

[Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 18:38:49 UTC

made a mistake. Not going to repeat it unless the situation calls fori t.

forgot people are around me.

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 18:44:14 UTC

[She pauses. Starts, then stops again. Until..]

Good. Then.. Okay.

[So anti-climatic.]

Re: [Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 18:45:19 UTC

From now on dirnking

drinking in private.

[Perhaps not the best joke.]

Head hurts

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 18:51:27 UTC

[Not really the best joke right now, no. But her tone and look have become softer. Empathetic.] Well that's what happens when you drink your body weight in liquor. Headaches, nausea, exhaustion, regret and humiliation paired with memory loss.

Re: [Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 18:52:43 UTC

I was lonely.

[beat] Or at least planning a long career of being lonely and insecure.

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 18:56:37 UTC

[Tiny sigh.] I get it.

This place isn't really crawling with the warm fuzzies. Or security of any kind. [OR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAAAND MEEE] Just, next time, don't be so literal with the drowning of sorrows.

Re: [Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 19:02:19 UTC

Funny I was looking forward to today for weeks.

But I can't fucking move so. Tell me how the food is

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 19:08:47 UTC

[.....

And more, ........

Then:]

How about you come try it for yourself, Mark? It's a free Barge. [Pause.] Okay, maybe not in the technical sense. [:/] Still. Everyone's had at least one bad, ..bad drunken episode.

Re: [Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 19:18:16 UTC

...you are sweet but I am very very very hungover and it hurts to move.

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 19:27:56 UTC

The best cure for the common hangover is food. Preferably food that is delicious and bad for you. This is the holiday of food.

[Remember that time you were there for her when she was drunk as all hell? Yeah, this is what she considers returning the favor.. Without ever mentioning she's doing so.]

I'll make you a deal. You don't show up, I'll bring some to you. After. Assuming I don't fall into another coma.. Which is entirely possible.

Re: [Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 20:13:47 UTC

....Deal.

Going to hide in my room in shame.

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 20:35:16 UTC

Take aspirin. Drink water.

Re: [Private] expectremorse November 24 2011, 20:36:03 UTC

I have them.

What can I do that will remove my undying sense of shame?

[Private] aboutpower November 24 2011, 20:39:05 UTC

[Slight wince.] That's gonna take time and allowing yourself to wallow for a little while.

...Constructively, without alcohol. Wallow constructively.

And mostly in secret. Show people you've moved on and you'll eventually start to feel it too.

[THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL-PRACTICED ROUTINE FOR HER.]
