ain't no time for moping when we're working and we're coping

[isawallflower]

[ Here we are, another meeting! Noon comes fast (sorry to the stake-out folks!) and Riley's got everything...well, there's not much to set up besides food and drink (no Mountain Dew this time) but she has a clipboard and a cheery attitude, nevertheless. Hosting Mode is on. ]

Welcome, everyone~! I know we've all been looking around into...everything. So! I thought it would be important to share anything we've found with the group, so we can all put our heads together, to try and. Solve this whole thing!

[ #NailedIt ]

Let's try and keep this civil and relaxed, okay?

oh god he doesn't want to have to feed you alcohol too]

'Turned off'?

[madgiganticfeelings]

Y-Yeah. I mean, I think so, at least? In my memory, I say I remember how it 'felt,' and Jeremy asked what mine looked like. Which was Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And in my pamphlet, that matches the information in my trivia section. It says deactivated, and I'm not... really feeling off like him?

[A little nervous look at Stephen.]

Uh, unless I've just been possessed and didn't notice it? Have you seen me doing anything weird?

[Christine, everything you do is weird.]

[He's silent for a moment, then pulls out a sprite bottle filled with...something that isn't sprite. He tosses it towards Christine]

Take a mouthful of that.

[Honestly, he wants to see if she'll do so willingly. That'll be the answer.]

[madgiganticfeelings]

[Christine frowns at the bottle suspiciously, and takes the lid off to give it a sniff.]

This is wine, isn't it? Whyyyyy am I supposed to get drunk too?

[37773972]

Because if you do have one that's active, it'll shut it off. [He's watching her intently]

[madgiganticfeelings]

[Well, that explains why Jeremy is drunk. And apparently it'll explain her too, as she stares at the bottle, shrugs, and tips the bottle back.

She scrunches up her face when she gets a mouthful, but she dutifully swallows.]

Ugh. Why do adults drink this for fun?

[37773972]

That's enough. [Just a mouthful is fine, especially knowing- and he reaches over for the bottle back] And...[His lips quirk] It's an acquired taste. But I don't think you have an active one, or else it'd have resisted.

[Which means that's your only alcohol for now, young lady]

[madgiganticfeelings]

Did you find all this out from Jeremy? What... happened with him?

[Because she just has a dozen concerns about what situation her friend could have been in that necessitated being force fed a bunch of alcohol.]
