Making Up For Lost Time

[changeddestiny]

[In the library car, a mound of books shifted quite suddenly as a hand thrust itself from the pile.]

Oh god... how long was I out?

[Slowly getting up, Ed blinked the glowing blue effect from his eyes and rubbed his forehead] The last thing I remember was getting drunk and then... What DAY is it?!

Comments

[heartofahime]

[There's a very loud commotion from the connecting door to the next car, what sounds like bangs, thuds, screaming, and inexplicable bird-like honking. And all of it sounds angry.

Suddenly Rina comes bursting through the door backwards, throwing something heavy and absolutely soaking wet. Her rings are out on her wrists and ankles, the fire is out - no doubt a result of the water.

She screams "YOUR FATHER WAS A PIGEON!" and slams the door shut, cutting off another loud 'honk!'. She stands there for a second, fists clenched and absolutely fuming before turning around, stopping only when she sees Ed.]

... hey. ... there a towel around here?

[changeddestiny]

Towel?

[give him a moment, his mind is fuzzy]

Uh yeah, bathroom, just over there.

[heartofahime]

Thanks...

[Rina stalks over to the bathroom, there's a clank and a swear, and she finally emerges with a towel over her head.

Sorry, Ed, her shirt might be a little see-through for a bit.]

I swear to it, this train has it out for me!

[changeddestiny]

Yeah I wouldn't know. Been apparently sleeping off a hangover that lasted for weeks.

[groaning he sits up fully and peers at Rina] Your boobs are showing.

[heartofahime]

... [looks down, frowns, looks up with a 'what are you, kidding me?' expression] When are my boobs not showing?

[She goes back to her futile attempts at drying herself off, muttering and grumbling incoherently, though if Ed were to listen close enough something akin to the words 'Asian porn star when I grow up' can be heard. She's being sarcastic, of course.]

How the hell do you have a hangover that lasts for weeks? What were you doing all this time? ... or do I even want to know.

[changeddestiny]

[groaning, he rubs his head]

I dunno. It started with a contest... something to do about "Being able to out-drink Humunguosaur..." and then there was one of my summoned ghouls... and I think there was something to do with seeing if we could get Way Big drunk...

It was New Years. I once spent one of those passed out in a farm in Westfall because a party went out of hand. FYI? Undead people take a loooooong time to get drunk.

[heartofahime]

... for the record, that was probably really stupid of you. Sounds like you managed to have some fun, though.

I figured they would. There's like... nothing there to process all that alcohol going in.

[Well, the towel is soaked now and she's not even remotely dry yet. Sighing, she turns around and yanks her shirt off, twisting it to try and wring out the rest of the water. The skirt is a lost cause for the moment, though.]

I... got attacked by geese.

[changeddestiny]

Yep.

[through the fuzziness of his mind, he focuses on one thing]

Geese? Since when do we have geese on the train?

[heartofahime]

The stupid garden car! I was having a nice time, giving them bread, and all of a sudden this angry one comes out of nowhere and starts a damn geese riot!

[changeddestiny]

Huh, I haven't been there myself to be honest. I'll have to check the place out then, provided I can handle a little craziness.

[heartofahime]

[Rina sighs and puts her very wrinkled shirt back on]

It's not normally like that... so I guess you just need to be on the look out for a rouge goose with an attitude problem.

[changeddestiny]

That's true. A goose with an attitude. Maybe I should catch and cook it. It's been a while since I've made something good.

[heartofahime]

... [eyebrow]

Well. Just don't kill it around me. I don't mind the cooking part.

[changeddestiny]

Yeah, well, there's no such thing as a clean butcher to be honest. Someone's got to do it.

[heartofahime]

Yeah, yeah. Allow me to have one girly reaction to something in my life... I'm not a fan of blood spray, even if it isn't human.

[changeddestiny]

Yeah, I'll find a kitchen for that.
