[When the names had vanished off the list, Johnny had gone straight to the coral to wait. They'd be back, of course. Why wouldn't they be? But it was the end of the three days and there was no sign. They were gone. It made sense, when he thought about it, Crowley didn't have anything here, at least Aziraphale was back home for him. And Jacob had that island he clearly loved so much.

And then there was Otoha; he didn't need to wait three days for him, the bar keys and letter were telling enough.

With a sigh, he switched the voice feed on; he was too tired to wear a mask.]

Jacob, Crowley, and Otoha have all gone home.

Otoha's bar'll still be open, for those of you who liked to go there. The hours just might be a little more..limited.

[He did still have his tavern and the school, after all.

There's a pause.]

Does anyone know how to take care of chocobos?

//Filtered to the Fais//

How do you feel about moving?

[After all, he'd only been living there to bug Crowley.]

[HSDKFHSF Serph stop.

Johnny stares at him, torn between amusement and exasperation.]

You're going to get so drunk...

[But he takes a large swig from his glass as well. That whole if you can't beat them thing...]

[It's that word again...]

This is the second time you've mentioned "getting drunk." What do you mean?

[Because it's starting to sound kind of important!!]

[Hold on...he has to stare at you for a second.]

You're drinking and you don't even know what getting drunk means? It's when you ingest too much alcohol and start acting...out of the normal. Like being drugged.

It's different for different people. Some people get silly and some get tired and some angry, it just depends.

Bottom line is that it removes your inhibitions.

[Serph has no idea what being drugged means but this sounds dangerous!! Because him losing inhibitions sounds like it'll result in people getting eaten. And that would be terrible.

Serph looks at the half full glass in his hand in a new light.]

I've been drinking before, but I never felt any such effects.

[He frowns at his glass, trying to decide if he should continue drinking or not.]

[Johnny doesn't bother, he keeps drinking, but he does raise an eyebrow at Serph.]

How much did you drink before?

[Serph's still eyeing his glass. It was a while ago since he last drank but...]

Two bottles.

[Maybe? Anyway he finishes the rest of his glass; he drank two bottles before so what's a glass gonna do to him?]

[He shouldn't have taken another drink from his glass...because he promptly choked on it with Serph's response.]

Two bottles!? Of what??

[Serph thinks back to that time...]

He said it wasn't very strong. I didn't check what it was.

[And he did share some of it. Though really, Serph drank most of it. Given Johnny's reaction... Serph tilts his head.]

Is two bottles a lot?

[He just stares at Serph a moment....and then pours himself more to drink.

..and a bit more for Serph because, apparently, why not?]

Serph, I'm fairly certain if some guy drank two bottles of this stuff, he'd die of liver failure. There's a reason people act weird when they drink too much of it, only gets worse the more you drink.

[Serph considers his now not empty glass for a moment.]

It may not affect me. I do not get 'full' from the food available in the shops here.

....huh.

[Johnny thought about that a moment, sipping from his glass. Finally, he got up and leaned over the counter to get something and two new glasses.

He poured Serph a glass of the new stuff and offered it to him.]

See what you think of that. It's stronger.

[While Johnny's getting that new drink, Serph just downed his current drink in one go. When he receives the new drink, Serph examines it for a moment. It's a completely clear drink and has quite a strong odour...

He takes a generous swig from it and--

--immediately regrets it. He actually coughs, but does swallow.]

The taste is...

[How does he even describe it? Serph shakes his head.]

I'd prefer something else.

[He'll finish this glass though. Johnny did pour it for him, after all!]

[The vampire laughs at the reaction before finishing off his glass.]

Would you prefer the other stuff or something...more tasty?

[Nah man he wants to try something new. Variety is the spice of life and all, whatever that means.]

I'd like to try something different.

[Serph sounds perfectly fine. No slurring of his words or anything.]

[Johnny smirks, trusting his friend was fine, and retrieved something on the more fruity side. Strawberry, in fact.]

Here, try this, it's pretty popular.

[Serph takes the offered drink and takes a cautious sip. He blinks, tilting his head.]

This tastes like...

[Serph's gaze goes to the ceiling for a moment. What was that fruit again...? His attention goes to Johnny.]

Strawberries?

[The last things he's drank that tasted like fruit was orange juice... Well, Serph nods -- he doesn't mind this one -- and downs the rest of his drink, still looking no worse. And Serph doesn't feel any different, either.]

[Johnny put his chin in one hand, watching his friend.]

Mhmm~

Do you like it?

[Serph shrugs. It's alright, but not really something he'd go out of his way to request again. He slides his empty glass over back to Johnny to fill with another drink.]

[The vampire smirked and poured more into Serph's glass.]

Just let me know if you've had enough, I don't want you to get sick~

[Serph's learnt that sick means stomach ache. Which means there's no real problem, is there? Not when he's armed with... Dis-Aches!!!

Anyway, Serph drinks the current glass.

And.

Everything's fine. Really.

Nevermind that a few seconds later, Serph just. Closes his eyes. And slumps onto the table without uttering a sound.

...Yeah Serph's totally passed out right now.]
