Who: whoever
Where: the ... lobby?
When: day 26 afternoon

[ there is a small blue ring octopus rolling an empty whisky bottle down the hallway.

keen observers will note there's a folded coat at one end of the hall or that this is a live but

you might be distracted by the octopus.


Alternatively, you could catch a memory of Haruto's being broadcasted ]

[zugzwange]

[ clings to the whisky bottle ]

[criminaljustice]

...

[okay, picking up the octopus by picking up the bottle its clinging to.]

If you were determined to drink, you probably should have stayed human?

[walking over to the discarded clothes.

[zugzwange]

[ crosses two arms while staying attached to the bottle with the other six ]

[criminaljustice]

[that is ridiculously cute.]

Getting points for more drinks?

[zugzwange]

[ waves a single tentacle ]

[criminaljustice]

One for yes, two for no?

[zugzwange]

[ waves two ]

[criminaljustice]

[you butt.

but laughing because it's cute.]

Okay, fair enough.

Want to be put on your clothes?

[zugzwange]

[ hmmmm

Waves two again ]

[criminaljustice]

[hmm...]

You're not getting too dried out, then, are you? Do octopi need water as much as other things...?

[zugzwange]

[ wraps all eight legs around the bottle. ]

[criminaljustice]

. . . you're not trying to dry out, are you?

That's no good.

Or I can put water in the bottle.

[zugzwange]

[ curls all eight arms under himself ]

[criminaljustice]

[amused because its still just so ridiculously cute.]

Well, I'm not putting alcohol in it.

Let's get you some water.

[time to do that]

[zugzwange]

[ excuse you, sprawls out dramatically ]

[criminaljustice]

[what a silly octopus.

at least making sure he doesn't fall off the bottle.]

It's not like I can read what you want when you're like this.

Besides, water is good for you.

[zugzwange]

[ wiggles two tentacles and scoots away a little ]

[criminaljustice]

[nope. hand blocking the way.]

How about a compromise. Water now, alcohol later?

[zugzwange]

[ SEEMS TO THINK ABOUT IT BUT LIKE

why not booze now ]

[criminaljustice]

[because you are an aquatic creature and i don't want you to die on me?]
