[Nexus] HALO 174: Just when you think you're not in Kansas anymore, turns out you are

[Devixer]

"You honestly think I can go on living?" Nai asks. It was baffling to him.

[Mee]

"You honestly think I can go on living?" Nai asks. It was baffling to him.

"Yes. I think you can.
But you can't so long as you've got yourself convinced you're unable to."
With that, though, Civvy has to leave, because her player is extreeeemely tired, and is going to bed.
G'night.

[FireFox]

The vampire smiles, and, somewhat hesitantly, reaches out to take Ally's hand.

"Hopefully that won't prove misguided, then. I know that your trust isn't something one gains easily, and I'm honored to have it."

The thief allows her hand to be taken. She's decided she can trust Karyana, so there's no reason to flinch or shy away. How have you been?

[Devixer]

Nai ignores Civvy trying to tell him that he can still somehow live, and continues his meditations.

[Kitchen]

Chris lets Carrie lean on him, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and raising the glass of rum in the free hand.

[Beans]

[Kitchen]
Carrie sips her scotch, leaning against him and giggling.

[InyutheBeatIs]

[Kitchen]

Chris looks down and smiles at Carrie. "Well, helloooo there." He chuckles a bit drunkenly, before sipping his own drink.

[Lady Serpentine]

The thief allows her hand to be taken. She's decided she can trust Karyana, so there's no reason to flinch or shy away. How have you been?

"I've been alright. Zwei was a bit of a mess after the wedding, but that's been dealt with, fortunately. And it indirectly led to Tsiln getting with us, so I guess it wasn't all bad, though I wish it had happened without that. And then in more recent news, I just had a kid a few days ago."

[Beans]

[Kitchen]

Chris looks down and smiles at Carrie. "Well, helloooo there." He chuckles a bit drunkenly, before sipping his own drink.

She grins. 'Cha drinkin' there?

[InyutheBeatIs]

She grins. 'Cha drinkin' there?

Chris puts the glass in front of him as though to examine it. "Fine, 20-proof spiced rum. Lightly seasoned with lime and coconut according to the label on the bottle, served with a couple of cubes of ice." Chris leans over to look at Carrie's glass. "How about you?"

[Beans]

... Scotch.
Dunno what else, just it's scotch.
She shrugs.

[InyutheBeatIs]

... Scotch.
Dunno what else, just it's scotch.
She shrugs.

"Hm." Chris takes another sip of his drink.

"So, Sioda been bothering you about wedding plans yet?"

[Beans]

She nods.
Eh, on and off... she's getting all nervous and... bridey, not like a Bridezilla though.

[InyutheBeatIs]

She nods.
Eh, on and off... she's getting all nervous and... bridey, not like a Bridezilla though.

"Okay, that's good at least. It's good that she's not freaking out at least." Another sip, noticing he's running low. "It's not too freaky being connected to another being that goes off and marries someone else, is it?" He asks curiously.

[Beans]

Not when my husband and I have both been with this other being's fiancee. She winks. We know how she feels, don't we?

[InyutheBeatIs]

"That's...yeah, you have a point there." Chris downs the last of the rum in his glass. "Still, I would think it would be somewhat...dissonant."

[Beans]

Well, thing is, Sioda's growing into her own person. We're not as connected now as we were before, and that's honestly the best thing for us. She smiles.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Chris nods his head and smiles. "I'm glad to hear that. I can totally see how that would work out for the better." Chris sets the glass in his hand on the table.

[Beans]

Carrie nods, pouring herself another scotch.
Yep! We'll still keep in touch a whole lot of course, since she's still so close to me and all.

[InyutheBeatIs]

"True. Plus, we'll still be around the base and all. It would be kind of awkward to not talk much after the wedding and all." Chris chuckled a bit. "...Speaking of places, we still gonna get our own place?"

[Beans]

Uhhhh... like... sometime?
She blinks and shrugs, sipping.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Uhhhh... like... sometime?
She blinks and shrugs, sipping.

"Yeah, I was thinking that yeah." He's somewhat obviously becoming more drunk, or at least the alcohol is setting in. "Still should get around to whether or not others are going to join is. Gotta build appropriately and all."

[Beans]

Carrie nods, drinking a bit more. Mooooooore.

[InyutheBeatIs]

And Chris pours himself another glass of rum. He raises his glass in toast afterwards. "To a drunken night in the arms of my love."

[Beans]

Wheee!
She leans on him and giggles. Silly Carrie!

[FireFox]

"I've been alright. Zwei was a bit of a mess after the wedding, but that's been dealt with, fortunately. And it indirectly led to Tsiln getting with us, so I guess it wasn't all bad, though I wish it had happened without that. And then in more recent news, I just had a kid a few days ago."

Ally looks surprised. What, like, gave birth? You're a mother now?


Sam chuckles, still drinking.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Chris chuckles a bit himself, while taking a much larger drink than he had been taking before. He gives a nod and a raising of the glass towards Sam. "And of course, to a drunken night with a dear friend, who I am currently not laying in the arms of. Whether it will stay that way, time will tell." Another drink.

[Lady Serpentine]

Ally looks surprised. What, like, gave birth? You're a mother now?

The vampire nods, smiling happily.

"Exactly like gave birth. So yes, I'm now a mother."

[Beans]

Carrie tries to wink at Sam and maybe kind of gets it.
Because.
She is not just drunk, but... drumpk.

[FireFox]

Would a drumpk wink be a... *wonk*?
Homestuck? In my HALO? It's more likely than you think. >.>
Okay... that's prolly the best inda... indice... sign tha's time t'stop drinking, my loves. Sam drains her glass and carefully wobbles to her feet. C'mere, Chris...


Congratulations! Ally grins and tries to figure out who the father would be, then remembers the other name Karyana just said. So... Tsiln is the Dad?
