♚ o29 -- the ic drunk meme

[ivrognes]

Let's face it: you've been here before. Or maybe you haven't. Tonight, though, something's different. For one thing, they didn't card you at the door. For another, you've never felt quite this buzzed in quite this way. Whatever's in your glass, it's different. Good different, or bad different? Who can say? It's really all up to you...

... [This worries Miles. Phoenix? Not having something to say?] Phoenix?

[camerapins]

[He buries his face in his arms. Maybe he's just so drunk he's miserable.

Or he's a sad drunk and he's trying to hide it.]

[verily_ergo]

[... Oh, Phoenix. Miles gently tugs one of his friend's arms out and throws it over his own broad shoulders.]

Come here, seeing as you won't be able to stand on your own.

[camerapins]

[Phoenix doesn't put up any resistance and makes a good attempt to stand, though he can't help but lean a bit heavily on Edgeworth. His balance is basically shot.]

Getting seasick in a bar. 's a new one.[Weak laugh. He's trying to lighten the mood, at least.]

[verily_ergo]

[Miles doesn't mind holding Phoenix against his side in order to get him on his feet. It's uncomfortable nonetheless, but he has a firm grip on his friend's wrist and one arm around the middle of his back.

Strike that-- he minds the smell of alcohol.]

Perhaps for you. Find something to think about and do not stop thinking on it. [If Phoenix ever wondered if that was a method Miles used during earthquakes, he would be right; but Miles isn't admitting it.]

Focus and move one step at a time, Wright. If you throw up on my shoes, you're paying for a replacement pair.

[camerapins]

[Phoenix isn't thinking much right now. He's just trying to remember to stay awake and move his feet. Anything else is too much work.

He's moving forward, shakily but he hasn't fallen over yet. What did he drink?]

[verily_ergo]

[It takes awkward shuffling, but eventually they get outside. It's cold, even for Los Angeles.]

Are you still with me?

[camerapins]

[The cold seems to wake him up a little. He groans a bit. Yep, still here.]

's cold.

[verily_ergo]

You should have worn closed-toed shoes. You're going to get sick at this rate.

[camerapins]

I'll be fine. I al...always wear sandals.

[verily_ergo]

Not anymore. [Miles frowns and silently tosses the idea of lending his overcoat to Phoenix around in his mind.] As soon as I have you home, I'll have you in bed also. You're quite lucky I wasn't busy tonight.

[camerapins]

[Edgeworth gets a questioning glance. He breaks concentration and staggers a bit.]

I'm drunk.

[verily_ergo]

Oh, is that all? I could let go and walk away when you get into the cab. Can you guarantee you'd arrive home safely? Did you think about Trucy when you went on this foolish bender?

[camerapins]

[Only about half of that gets through. Words hurt his head right now.]

...what?

[verily_ergo]

... Nothing. The cab should be here soon. Do try to stay conscious, won't you?
