Apparently, this castle really can't get enough of making my life hell.

I feel like I'm missing some time, but that may be for the best.  No signs of the alcohol needed to make that happen though, so I'm assuming the castle did it.

And yes, I'm still here,

[Not even mentioning what he found in his room.  He doesn't want to think about it...]

Wash?

2/3

[youfallback]

We tried to get your door open and it--- [Oh screw it, she's just going to head there now.] Expect me in ten.

Done! Also action!

[youfallback]

[Even though she's bringing her journal--- in case it's needed--- Carolina wastes essentially no time in heading down to Wash's room, knocking curtly on his door at the eight minute mark.]

Wash, it's Carolina.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

The door is open.

[youfallback]

[The handle turns, to her relief, and opens the door, stepping inside.]

You alright?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I woke up to find out that Kat is gone... The castle sent her home to die, after she'd started accepting the place. Other than that? I'm fine.

Think I'm going to need something to make me forget things tonight though.

[youfallback]

[Carolina pauses before nodding. York had taken it badly, but not nearly as bad as Wash likely would. The only problem is that she was planning on heading to the TARDIS tonight. Everything is so up in the air right now with almost every single one of her teammates.]

Meaning you need a distraction. [Or a lot of booze. 8(]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

...

And unfortunately, my old distraction of choice is out of the question now.

It's nothing I can't deal with though. Just might involve a lot of alcohol. I've watched her die once... At least this time, I won't have to see it.

[youfallback]

[Carolina watches him, furrowing her eyebrows underneath her helmet. There's a whole ton of new dynamics she needs to learn and it's frustrating to not be able to pick up on what Wash needs as easily as she can York.]

We'll remember her here.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I will. It's all I can do...

And unless you really want to deal with a teammate getting drunk, you should probably get going. I'm sure you have other things to do.

[youfallback]

[Well she's already done it once, so hey why not go for a second. Why does she get to play drunk mom to everyone. :|]

I'm not leaving, Wash.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Fine then. You can watch about the only coping method I've found that works to date.

[He's grabbing the vodka again.]

[youfallback]

[Suddenly she's not sure if she wants to see this or not, but hey she already agreed to it, there's no backing out now.]

Talking never hurt, you know. [But fuuuck she knows that talking has to be completely on his terms.] I'm here if you need to vent.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

It won't change this though. Right now, what I really need is a way to forget...

Aren't many things that do it effectively and quickly. [Taking a drink straight from the bottle.]

[youfallback]

[Carolina pauses, trying to work this in a way that could, y'know, actually help Wash out.]

How about for every shot, you say something that's on your mind. [She's really trying to make it sound like something he's doing for her rather than the other way around.] Nothing leaves this room.

Have to hand it to you. One of the cleverer ways someone has tried to keep me from overdoing it. Figure by the time I've had too much, I won't be able to think of things?

Probably safer than what York suggested last time I was having a breakdown.
