*A massive BOOM splits the air, and the bar is filled with rose petals and flying dirt. Anthy lands on a table. She sits up, fumbling for her glasses, and tries to look as though nothing has happened.*

Comments

[bobby_gadling]

*brushes dirt from his notebook and looks resignedly at Anthy.*

Thank you. Thank you so much. I needed that.

*it is obvious that he is well on his way to drunkenness,*

[anthy_rosebride]

What are you writing? *tries to peer over Hob's shoulder, but is rather too far away, and nearly falls off the table*

[bobby_gadling]

*pulls the notebook away, waving an unsteady finger.*

Ah-ah. That's private.

[anthy_rosebride]

*brightly* Want some more to drink?

[bobby_gadling]

Yes please. A lot more.

Wait.

*lifts bottle as a test.*

No. Yes. I haven't got enough here.

[anthy_rosebride]

*climbs off the table and fetches several random bottles from the bar* Here you go. Drink up.

[bobby_gadling]

*tiredly*

Thanks. You're true blue.

[anthy_rosebride]

*guiltily* Thank you.

. . . Maybe that's not such a good idea. You could have shaved ice instead.

*looks conflicted, and then carefully slides the notebook away while Hob is distracted by the alcohol*

[bobby_gadling]

Shaved ice?

I'll stick to tequila, thanks.

[anthy_rosebride]

*cheerfully settles down with Hob's notebook*

*begins to look a little less cheerful*

*begins to look as though she feels guilty*

[bobby_gadling]

*is so set on a drinking for a few minutes that he doesn't miss the notebook.*

[anthy_rosebride]

*looks at Hob over the top of the notebook*

Hob, stop.

[bobby_gadling]

Why? I've nothing else to do. Don't worry; it's not as though it's helping. Significantly.

[anthy_rosebride]

. . . Because.

Please?

[bobby_gadling]

No. It's better than being sober, at least right now, at least right here. There are things I need to forget. I...

Where's my notebook?

[anthy_rosebride]

*looks down at the notebook still in her hands*

It's not better than being sober. You just make things worse for yourself.
