I guess one good day is a little too much to ask for.

[Actually, the day sucked for Damon to be totally honest. It was only the ending of it that wasn't so bad. It was so not bad that it made the rest of the day pretty forgivable. For him anyway. Maybe not for Elena. But he was on cloud nine too much to worry about that too much.]

[And then he was on a turtle and between life and sleep or something like that - he wasn't paying that much attention, okay - and yep. Day sullied all over again.]

So. Giant turtles in need of a visit to the vet and lost powers.

Someone point me in the direction of the nearest supply of alcohol and I'm gonna get through this just fine.

There are bars and restaurants, but we're still in a rationing period so the prices are still insanely high.

[To anyone who knows her, Bryn looks considerably less cheerful than usual. Failing powers and disappearing friends will do that, apparently.]

Otherwise you're limited requesting your one luxury item per week being a mere 300 milliliters or so of alcohol.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

300 milliliters is considered luxury?

[trifurcate]

Alcohol is considered a luxury here. And 300 milliliters is all they'll spare if that's the luxury item you choose per week.

[Not per day, per week. Yeup.]

[A week? Nope. Nope. Nope.]

Wow this isn't In-Between anything unless they mean a rock and a hard place. Otherwise, I just landed myself in hell.

Do you really think that alcohol is going to help you through this?

[ yep, she isn't even sure if all the alcohol on the shell will fix how messed up this place is. ]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

You'd be surprised how many problems it fixes.

[ a questioning brow. ]

For how long though?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

More surprises just for you: quite a while. Long enough. You get the drift.

[mopirates_moproblems]

I wish you more luck than the rest of us have had, Sirrah, but I advise you not to start down that road.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Oops, too late.

[By well over a century.]

[mopirates_moproblems]

I hardly think that my fault. Go ahead and bankrupt yourself, then, if you insist

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Thanks for the blessing & well wishes.

Just what we need, another lush.

Oh boy, another prude.

Re: video;

[candystriped]

Hardly a prude, just someone with standards.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Said by every prude ever.

[refusing]

Oh, just look at you. All kinds of cheerful.

[She laughs a bit, resting her chin in the palm of her hand.]

Bet you'll be even happier to hear there's rationing and all that, which kinda makes getting hold of anything decent pretty difficult.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Hey, I'll be a rain of sunshine with just a little bit of bourbon. Promise.

What's the deal with the rationing anyways?

video

[refusing]

Dunno. When I woke up here, it was already in effect. Kinda hoping it doesn't last too much longer, though.

[She really, kind of hates it.]

It'd be nice to live like I did back home, y'know, eating whatever and whenever I wanted.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Never thought I'd miss looking into a full fridge and deciding there was absolutely nothing to eat.

[cons]

Yeah, when you find the magic booze fountain that the locals somehow never noticed, let me know.

-- Seriously, because I've been looking for a decent bar for about six weeks now.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Six weeks? Man.]

You'll be the first person I call.

Anything else worthwhile in short supply around here? Aside from everything, I mean.

Am I too late?

[trainwrecked]

That'd be one giant vet.

And alcohol's on rationing, but pretty potent, so that's not too horrible.

never c:

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Whose stupid idea was it to ration alcohol?

[Also, just how are the streets not on fire in protest?]

oh, good!

[trainwrecked]

Guess whoever thought it would be a good idea to keep people sober... or have the means to get us drunk later, with decreased probability of brewing more.

[The kedan are docile and the foreigners have other worries.]
