Sixth Seal

[carries_a_bell]

... So... none of it was real?

...

Are there any legal adults out there who wouldn't mind buying some alcohol for me?  I'll give you the money that should cover the cost of it.  Since, you know, I still don't remember how old I am, and I really want to forget this week happened.

... I'll probably need to toss this ring into the lake too.

And, uh, sorry

Honestly I don't know how old I am, but I figure my type is made adult to start with, so what the hell? I'll tell 'em I'm old enough.

Why is there even a drinking age, anyway? I mean, kids are stupid to begin with. Alcohol's not gonna make anything worse in that department. And as I always say, and by "always" I mean "for the first time that I can remember but in all such cases so far so technically always," people should be able to make their own choices.

Gimme the money and I'll head over to the bar for ya.

[originalandroid]

Errr, an' yer gonna have to tell me where that is.

[carries_a_bell]

Probably to make sure no kids drink themselves to death. Here's 50 dollars. The bar is... [Insert directions here.]

So... you new here?

[originalandroid]

If they didn't want people drinkin' themselves to death, they'd try and make it illegal for everybody. Anyone's capable of being an irresponsible idiot, kids and adults.

Yeah, I got here yesterday. The name is Blues. Don't ask me anything else though, because I'm runnin' dry in the memory department.

So what's your preference of, uh, alcoholic drinks? Never had any myself. I don't think it would do anything.

[carries_a_bell]

Wouldn't people just try to go around that? But... I don't know what kind. I've never drunk alcohol before. Probably the one with the least amount of alcohol, since I've never done this before.

[originalandroid]

Haha, you've got a point there. Here we've got a law specifyin' a minimum drinking age, and someone's tryin' to get around it. *grin*

Fine, I'll getcha something weak. Gimme like 15-30 minutes.

[carries_a_bell]

'kay. See you later.

'M back. Fifty bought a lot of beer; you, ah, might have some left over. Or hell, throw a party or something. I don't care.

...I hope it makes you feel better.

[carries_a_bell]

Thanks. Probably won't need all of this... Want any?

[originalandroid]

Uh, thanks, but I don't think it would do anything. I'm a robot, if that wasn't apparent. Haven't been hungry or thirsty since I got here, and it'd be kind of silly to make a robot that needs food, so... yeah. Anyways, have fun with it. Give some to your friends or save it for later. Oh, and what's your name, kid?

[carries_a_bell]

Robot? What's that? Oh, I'm Sheena.

[originalandroid]

Robot. I'm a machine. Made of, um, metal parts and stuff. Okay, Sheena, see ya later.

*Blip! He teleports out.*

[carries_a_bell]

... [Sheena blinks, staring at the place Blues had been standing.] Uh... bye then...
