I13DT - Nursing A Hangover

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:03 am

Laura's breakfast was heavy on toast, water, and some black coffee. She was also wearing her sunglasses inside and seemed to have a giant headache. She nibbled idly at her breakfast as she tried to ignore the rest of the room.

"Oof, do I want to know?" Janice says as she approaches.

"I think I tried to drink the pub dry," she said. "It feels like I did."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:28 pm

"That's... never a great idea."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:28 pm

"It felt justified at the time. Note the use of the words 'at the time'."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:29 pm

"At least you made it home alright, huh?"

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:32 pm

"Thanks to the bartender. I'd probably be asleep somewhere between the pub and the school if it wasn't for him."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:35 pm

"Was that the shaven-headed bloke?"

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:36 pm

"Yeah. Seemed like a good sort. Listened to me whine about my problems."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:36 pm

"He goes here. He probably knew."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:38 pm

"I'm apparently a pissy drunk though. Not angry, not weepy, just... difficult."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:43 pm

"I guess you're not one of those shapeshifters with a crazy alcohol tolerance, eh?"

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:47 pm

"The feral shifters are the ones with the crazy tolerance. I'm just a girl."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:49 pm

"I know a lot of the yanks overdo it when they get here because they're not used to being able to drink legally."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:50 pm

"Oh this was definitely drinking with a purpose. I don't usually go all out."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:02 pm

"I'm guessing you don't mean celebrating."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:04 pm

"No," she said, shaking her head and realizing that was a bad move. "Found out my parents are getting a divorce. That kind of opened the floodgates."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:06 pm

She cringes.

"Oh, that's never fun. I mean... er... mine are still together, but I get it, you know?"

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:09 pm

"Eh, my dad... I mean my male parent has decided to be a shit and is blaming everyone but himself. One of the things the bartender helped me realize last night."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:13 pm

"...don't want to call him 'dad,' huh?"

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:18 pm

"I think he's abdicating that position."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:22 pm

"That's fair, I suppose."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:25 pm

"But you didn't come over here to listen to me go on about my family troubles. How're things going with you?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:26 pm

"Oh, decent enough. Still looking over my shoulder to make sure Will isn't my napkins or something, but I'm probably just being paranoid."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:32 pm

"He does owe us a return prank more than likely."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:36 pm

"He's probably going to make it a good one, too."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:55 pm

"Which means we'll just have to come up with something better."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:56 pm

"We just about had him, last time."

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 2:04 pm

"Meaning we can improve and really get him," she nodded.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:39 pm

"Been hatching ideas?"

by **Laura Weston** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:40 pm

"Unfortunately no. I tend to do these things by the seat of my pants."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:27 pm

"Could get his wife in on it. Do you think you could manage shifting into a toddler?"

by **Laura Weston** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:27 pm

"Never tried, but I've been working with the Headmistress on getting bigger, so getting smaller should just be that in reverse, right?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:31 pm

"Yeah, so imagine his surprise when his daughter learns a bunch of new words."

by **Laura Weston** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:35 pm

"You have a devious mind, Janice."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:41 pm

"You want me to talk to Sara about it?"

by **Laura Weston** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:44 pm

"If you want. I may take me a few days to get back up to form and I'll want to try being toddler-sized a bit before we commit to it."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:48 pm

"Yeah, but it couldn't hurt to make sure she's okay with it a good ways in advance."

by **Laura Weston** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 2:00 pm

"Definitely good to check that sort of thing out."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 2:08 pm

"No wasted work then, eh?"
