THE FUTURE IS NOW: GRADUATION

[idolpro]

Who: Shine & You!
Where: THE GREAT BURGER
When: Day 284, Evening

[ If you're CR of Shine's, you might have received an invitation to THE GREAT BURGER for a certain celebration. Or maybe you're here to get that good wholesome and hearty diner food! Either way, you'll find that when you arrive, tables and seats and umbrellas have been placed outside to accommodate for everyone; there's the standard spread of burgers and pancakes from THE GREAT BURGER, but on top of that you can also find omelets and steaks and skillets, along with biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, meatloaf—whatever you can think of served in an American diner is out here for everyone to enjoy. There's soda for the non-alcohol drinkers, but there's also an overabundance of beer and . . . galaxy booze? It looks like? What's that.

Silver and blue balloons are tied to all the tables, and there's a banner that hangs in front of the restaurant:

CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING
Product of Ophthalmology Engineering

A silver carpet rolls into the side of the diner—that door wasn't there before—and in that space there's also a microphone and a stand if anyone wants to say anything. When Shine is ready to leave, he can follow the path of the silver carpet to the new door. ]

With explanations? Brave, please.

[arealeyeopener]

Brave it is.

[pours a shot of the galaxy looking drink]

This is a rare drink, comes from the Alterworld which is another dimension that my world ended up getting to know a little. It's the kinda drink you really oughta have one shot of.

It's name is kinda hard to pronounce so I'll skip that.

[pours himself a shot

knocks it back]

[mourningson]

[oh wait fuck he really wants him to drink this???]

I did mean just the explanations...

[arealeyeopener]

You won't be able to Baritones it make it unless you get a drink though.

[mourningson]

[.........should have said "light," fuck]

All liquor tastes the same, doesn't it?

[arealeyeopener]

Aw no. Some can be really sweet. Not this stuff though.

It's indescribable!

[mourningson]

[there's a million reasons why he shouldn't drink it, and a million reasons why he SHOULD drink it]

...

[pi... cking up the glass]

Is that why you have categorized it as "brave?"

[arealeyeopener]

It's the kinda drink that gets ya drunk REAL fast.

[he hates this

you can see it on his face





but damn if this kind of drink wouldn't be the most useful thing to escape people later down the road, it's PERFECT]

[mourningson]

I should only try a sip then?

[arealeyeopener]

You can probably only handle that much, ya seem kinda...delicate.

[mourningson]

...excuse me?

[arealeyeopener]

[this tiny man says u seem too delicate for alcohol]

You just don't seem experienced enough to handle much more?

[mourningson]

[wow]

I'm certain I could handle myself well.

[arealeyeopener]

Sure sure.

[drinks his own shot

seems fine]

1/2

[mourningson]

[if tiny man can handle liquor, so can he]

Witness me, then.

[throws the drink back]

[mourningson]

[then falls back, out like a light]

[arealeyeopener]

That's what I thought ya lil' fuckwit.

[mourningson]

[after ten seconds of being out cold, he's climbing to his feet]

...as I said, I'll drink it and prove to you that I am more than capable...

[arealeyeopener]

[pours a fresh one]

Okay do it.

[mourningson]

With ease.

[takes the glass, downs it





down he goes, too. again.]

[arealeyeopener]

I can do this shit all day.

[pours a fresh one for when he pops back up]

[mourningson]

[STANDS UP, visibly groggy and a little out of it, staring down the drink that he still can't remember ever drinking]

...is there a poison in this air?
