[He sounds disgruntled, and sort of... slurred.  Something shifts and slides in the background--fabric over fabric--he's putting on his jacket, and the little wince as the material slides over his shoulder is, luckily, not picked up by the device's microphone.]

I missed the Epiphany.  It's---nooooot a good thing.  Oh well.

In case you haven't noticed, I don't dote.

[royal_ripper]

You got me poppers. They're so much fuuun--

[A rustling of a plastic bag, and a snapping sound of a few of them going off]

[fortheoldworld]

Oh God, are you intoxicated?

[voice -->text]

[royal_ripper]

....whatever makes you think that? I'm much too young to drink, Mellow.

[born_crooked]

You sound drunk, Belphegor.

[audio]

[royal_ripper]

I do?

Coffee or not?

[audio]

[born_crooked]

You do.

Coffee might be a good thing if you are drunk.

[audio]

[royal_ripper]

I'm not.

And I'm not again. But coffee would be fun. Haven't been out in aaaages.

What sort of present would you like, your highness?

Don't say booze, you've clearly had enough of that.

[Audio]

[royal_ripper]

Not drunk. Iiiidiot.

More knives! One can never have enough, after all.

[Audio]

[down_to_nowhere]

You're altered somehow. Sounds fun - what did you have?

I imagine I'll wish I hadn't asked, but, why knives?

[Audio]

[royal_ripper]

Fun, yesss. I fell--Squalo patched me up and said I could use his medication. So, I stole it when I left.

[He laughs]

Why, to have more fun, of course!

[non_veritas]

The Epiphany of what? It's a shame to miss insight.

[voice-->text]

[royal_ripper]

...it's a holiday. Don't you know?

[non_veritas]

It is also a metaphor.

How did you miss it?

[royal_ripper]

I fell down.
