[ With the latest experiment screeching into an abrupt-as-always end, Lightning is, unsurprisingly, furious at everything because of it. Finding herself out in the middle of town, middle of the night, completely blindsided with the realization that everything she thought for the last week was a lie... that was not in her overall game-plan. The ( Read more... )

[Zack's just on his way home after helping Lilly cart her stuff home, so he happens to meet up with Lightning at the building entrance. He blinks at her for a long moment, kind of boggled, because- well, it looks like Lightning, sure, but at the same time, the staggering, stumbling, drunken look of her movement is really... not like her. At all.

It's been one hell of a night, though, so he can't blame her. Shaking off his surprise, he jogs over to catch up, opening the door for her.]

Hey, hey! Are you okay there?

thestormishere April 28 2011, 21:43:56 UTC

Hnn... [ Well, she certainly looks a lot like Lightning even if her behavior's off, especially with that glare she levels at him-- aims at him, rather, since she's not doing so well with the level thing right now. ]

Yeah. Ssshure.

wingenvy April 28 2011, 22:10:55 UTC

[...Yeah, ssshure. She looks real okay. He steps closer, grabbing her shoulder to try and steady her.]

Had a little too much at the bar, huh?

thestormishere April 28 2011, 22:29:20 UTC

[ You have to ask? The smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke is on her so strong, the only reason it isn't much affecting her any more is because she's had to more or less get used to it over the last... however long it's been since normality was switched back on. She doesn't even know, man.

... She can't really think of anything sufficiently dry and/or witty to say, though, so she just goes with making a disgusted face instead, reaching up to put the wrist of the hand touching her in a strangle-hold. ]

Essperiment.

[And that banging into walls is going to bring out one very annoyed resident of community building 4. Once she finds the source, she'll wince a bit at the reek of booze and cigarettes.

Still, if she didn't do something about this she'd never get back to her rest.] Hello?

thestormishere April 28 2011, 22:55:19 UTC

...worse th'n-- ow!

[ Whatever something is worse than is cut off by another bang, however, Lightning accidentally kicking one of the stairs instead of stepping up on it properly. The sharp exclamation that follows it is more out of surprise and annoyance than actual pain, though. Heavy boots and all. ]

Hmn. [ She looks up at Aella from her lower position - half-bent, death-gripping the railing - but doesn't really answer. At least she managed to keep from falling? Yeah. ]

unbalancedsoul April 28 2011, 23:09:56 UTC

[Aella's going to continue looking at the nearly fall over drunk in the stairway with a raised eyebrow. She's not going to reach to help her, not yet anyway. She's still reeling a bit from the smell.]

Need some help?

thestormishere April 28 2011, 23:44:55 UTC

[ Being seen like this by a woman she knows lives in the building but not at all otherwise is... not what Lightning needs right now, and her frowning expression is intense as she - don't puke on the stairs - straightens up to try and get back to her upward journey. ]

No just ... sstupid village.

Hey! Be careful, there's flowers there! [Middle of the night. Woke up from a nightmare just in time to realize it was a memory, and that she forgot everything important for ten whole days. Aerith is a bit irritable with everything herself, and. well. They're flowers.

Also, not recognizing that careless drunk as her friend yet. :|a It is darker.]

1/2 thestormishere April 29 2011, 13:05:46 UTC

[ There's a gasp and shuffle at that- geez Aerith, are you trying to give her a heart attack or what? ]

I knnow where they arrre! [ ... Kind of? On the ground somewhere... right? Stomp stomp sto-- ] -- Gah!

thestormishere April 29 2011, 13:11:34 UTC

[ ...Oh, here they are. They'll survive a drunk woman tripping over into them with a sudden flump, right? ]

gardenerofgaia April 29 2011, 18:41:14 UTC

Oh, hones-- [She's already walking toward the figure, but she falters for a second (SHE KNOWS THAT VOICE) before picking up the pace.]

Lightning? Light, are you sick-- [...Okay now that she's rushed closer, she knows that smell, too. And is in fact backing off from it.]

You're drunk. ... I never pegged you for a drinker. [Okay. This is a FLOWER GIRL here who is awesome enough to be a SOLDIER, but she does not have that arm strength. So she's pausing to get too close to Lightning, which is admittedly a little bit because of the smell but also because she's hoping Lightning's sober enough to get back up on her own There is going to be mucho awkwardness if Aerith has to support her.]
