303rd Day [video]

[mirroredmemory]

It's been three hundred and three days since I arrived here. That's exactly ten months. It's funny, sometimes this place still seems really new to me, like I keep finding out about new things like kissing people you're not dating when you see funny plants in places and Santa and what happens when you put foil in the micro-

So it was you who did that!

...but really? You found that in our mailbox?

[voice]

[mirroredmemory]

Um- did what?

[PLAY THE INNOCENT!]

Yeah, the mailman was trying to get it in the mailbox when I got home. Looks weird, huh?

Re: [voice]

[madeinoblivion]

Foil in the microwave.

Looks- yeah. I didn't know you could just stick rum in someone's mailbox. Maybe it's a mistake-delivery?

[voice]

[mirroredmemory]

I guess it must be; I don't know anything about rum, do you think it was the others maybe?

...um, Joe? You're not mad about the microwave are you. It was an accident.

[Pickles has seen that ornate-something, before. Though he's a little surprised to see an unfamiliar girl holding it up, he doesn't react to it apart from blinking a couple times. Maybe he fucked up the address--or maybe this was Joe's girlfriend. She seems pretty nice, albeit ignorant in the ways of booze--that he has to comment on.]

...You drink it. Dat's de best way to handle it.

[mirroredmemory]

With eggnog?

[You will have to forgive her, Pickles. Ignorant in the ways of booze is a pretty gigantic understatement.]

[video]

[drinkthebleach]

Yeah. But you can do other stuff with it, too: daiquiris, piña coladas, zombies, hurricanes--[It starts to sound like he's just listing off random words at this point.] Or put it in Coke with a little bit of lime...but considerin' de quality an' flavor of dat particular bottle? You could just sip it, if you wanted to.

[Zombies and hurricanes? While he's listing these off, Xion takes a quick glance down at the rum bottle with a slight frown, then looks back at the NV screen. Is rum some sort of magic thing then? She was pretty sure it was just an alcoholic drink...]

You sure sound like you know a lot about rum. Do you sip it a lot?

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

You sell it to someone who's old enough to drink it.

[:|]

... That's a personal suggestion, by the way.

voice;

[mirroredmemory]

Well... I think we're going to try to make it into eggnog or mix it with ice cream. And it seems kind of mean to sell something when it got sent as a gift.

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

Oh, it was given to you?

... You do know that it's alcoholic, don't you.

Re: voice;

[mirroredmemory]

I don't think it was give to me, my name wasn't on it. But I'm not the only person who lives here, it could have been sent to one of my room-mates.

I know it's alcoholic, it says on the label.

[audio]

[needsnarration]

I'd probably give it to someone who likes that kind of thing.

[audio]

[mirroredmemory]

I don't know if I don't like it, I've never tried it before. My brother told me to wait until he got home and we're going to have some together.

[audio]

[needsnarration]

How old are you, anyway? [Because you don't look older than he does!]

[audio]

[mirroredmemory]

[Oh she's a lot, lot younger. Try a year old.]

Um... Fifteen?

I don't think learning n-new things could ever get boring. They're always so surprising when you learn about them and surprises c-can be so much fun...

P-people usually drink rum, though... So I'm not sure if i-it's r-really the best th-thing to do m-more than it is the only thing.

[video]

[mirroredmemory]

Especially if they're good surprises. I mean, I wasn't expecting to get rum in the mail but it's still nice to get something unexpectedly.

I think you can cook with it too, and make other stuff out of it. You don't need to just drink it. I think I want to make something out of the bottle when the rum's gone, it's kinda pretty.

[video]

[sniper_maid]

Mm, it is always nice to get gifts.

I didn't know that! I'm not very good at cooking so there's a lot of things I d-don't know about that could be used as ingredients. What do you think you'll make out of the bottle?
