[Timewarp virus]

[Is that Artemis looking older and...sicker?]

Okay, as it turns out? The worst part of having a boyfriend with a super-sonic metabolism isn't the grocery bills. It's the fact that a few too many drinks on date night murder me the next day while he's bright, cheerful, and devouring an entire batch of pancakes.

Remind me again why I love him?

[She might not have noticed the timeline's off.]

'Cause everyone's weird about that.

[tigressburningbright]

[pause, doubletake.]

Makoto? You're...well, you're exactly the same.

...I'm hungover and dealing with a virus, aren't I?

[yes_im_kawaii]

*scratches behind her ears* Yeah. Everyone's all weird and it rained more meat buns than I can even eat.

[tigressburningbright]

Isn't the last one a dream come true for you?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Of course! I mean, then I started feeling sick, but that's just stupid.

[tigressburningbright]

Well, yeah, that's what happens when you end up with that much food.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu... But it might never happen again!

'cause he gives you a liquor level to aspire to!

[tigressburningbright]

True, but maybe I should start off smaller. Like Zatanna--sorcerers are funny when they're drunk.

[material_guy]

Now that you've joined the big drinking leagues, it'd be hard to go back, wouldn't it?

Re: [Video]

[tigressburningbright]

Oh yeah. But unofficial team drinking nights are a riot.

[material_guy]

Like any kinda activity, it's important to practice.

Re: [Video]

[tigressburningbright]

Oh yeah. Especially when you've got a bunch of aliens or other non-humans on the team.

[notmynature]

You look sick.

[tigressburningbright]

More like hungover. The mother of all hangovers.

[notmynature]

That's what I don't get about the alcohol thing. It smells bad and makes you feel worse but everybody loves it.

[tigressburningbright]

It's more about the socializing that goes along with it. And trying to beat your friends at something.

[notmynature]

Kinda makes sense, I guess. Didja win?

[tigressburningbright]

Third one down. Not pretty.

[masked_god]

[And...Karakael doesn't notice anything strange. Because people change apparent ages all the time in his world. Presumably there are other similar worlds around the community.]

Perhaps because he allowed you to share the pancakes?

[tigressburningbright]

Might be part of it.

[masked_god]

You are lucky if your lover is a decent chef. It does much to ease tensions.

[tigressburningbright]

We split up the cooking duties. Mostly because he's got a habit of eating it before it gets to the table.

[masked_god]

Heh. There are a few of my servants who have similar habits. They are lucky I eat so little.

[tigressburningbright]

We've figured out how to keep the fridge well-stocked.
