Just kinda noticed...

[He pauses, clears his throat, and tries again.]

I've been here a year now. I dunno if you're supposed to, y'know, do somethin' to celebrate that, but it's somethin', right? I mean, sure, I went home once in between, so it ain't a year straight, but it was a year ago I first showed up here.

[An awkward pause.]

So um. Does anyone wanna go grab a drink or somethin'? To... uh... acknowledge that? Celebrate it? Get pissed that we're all stuck here? Somethin' like that?

I'm good with something like that.

[trenchknives]

Good to hear it, kid. Figures this is the kinda occasion that calls for a drink, right?

[water_wine_wizard]

Definitely a drink. And then you can figure out why you're drinking later.

[hexuality]

Feels like I've known you longer than that.

Re: voice;

[trenchknives]

Feels that way to me, too. Maybe it's 'cause I've aged longer'n a year in the last year I've been here. Y'know, since I had that eight months back home, 'n all. Made me more mature.

["Mature." Right.]

voice;

[hexuality]

You're not much older than me, Darmody. You're no more mature than I am.

[Teasing, but also a lie. She knows what they've both been through.]

[whitetwoguns]

Yeah, pal. Let's have a couple of rounds. My treat.

[trenchknives]

Sounds good. Thanks, man. Maybe a different place than last time, yeah? I'll meet you wherever you want to.

[whitetwoguns]

A very different place. You know what? Pick one. Any one.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

...yeah, sure. Why not.

[trenchknives]

Yeah? Where d'you wanna meet? I'm plannin' on havin' quite a few drinks, so y'know, somewhere with reasonably priced liquor'd be good.

[favoritetraitor]

I'll join you for a drink. [Solomon's brother does want for him to make new friends.]

[trenchknives]

Yeah? Well, you pick a place, 'n I'll be there. I got the feelin' I'm gonna be drinkin' quite a bit tonight.

I... can't say I drink much. [ The first sentence in, and he's already lying. ] But a celebration seems like a good idea. Maybe I could whip up something? Like a cake. In the, um, shape of a prison?

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

[He laughs.]

You really got the talent to make a cake like that?

Congratulations on making it through a year.

Try not to get too drunk while you're celebrating, though.

Re: audio;

[trenchknives]

Hey, c'mon, I won't get too drunk. I'm drinkin' with some responsible friends.

[But isn't one of those responsible friends himself, of course.]

[spaghettiokay]

I'm all for getting pissed.

[Pause.]

Did you say you...went home before?

[trenchknives]

Sure did. Disappeared for what was maybe a day or two here, but what was eight months back home. The whole time I was home, I didn't remember shit about this place. The minute I got back here, I remembered everythin', 'n I remembered what'd happened in those eight months at home, too.

[From the sound of his voice, it wasn't good.]

Don't ask me how it works. I ain't got any idea.

[dr_conscience]

Doing something to mark it is customary.

After all, you made it through a year of dealing with the City. I think that's worth something.

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I guess it's probably worth a drink or five, huh? You've been here long enough that a year probably sounds like nothin', right?

[thenormalsquint]

Well, sure, if you need a reason to get drunk. My treat this time.

[trenchknives]

Great! Where d'you wanna meet?

[skintoskin]

I've been here... a year and... five months? I think it's five months, maybe six. I dunno. If you want to celebrate, I can help you out with that, not that you need an excuse to get pissed...

[trenchknives]

Nah, I don't need an excuse, but it's nice to have one anyway. You wanna grab a drink?
