[2ND] sting - let's call her "halcyon" and hope that she holds

[tailstabbings]

[Where she managed to find vodka is a mystery, but Adiane's got a bottle of it that she's working her way through. She at least still has the dignity to use a glass, and she's taking it very slow in order to keep herself coherent, but for those familiar with her, quite a bit is different about her demeanor today

[So the fact that other people who aren't human are here has piqued Gold Saw's interest to the point where she's actually out wandering about instead of chopping up Farmhouse #9 again, mildly curious as to what she'd find next. And a woman with a scorpion tail is what she just found.]

[Don't mind the rather demonic-looking girl quietly observing Adiane from a distance. It's what she always does, apparently.]

[tailstabbings]

[Adiane knocks back the remainder of the small glass. It takes several moments for her to openly react to the stranger watching her, but upon setting the glass down, she turns her head.]

What the fuck are you staring at?

[Her voice is a bit rough, shaky, as if recovering from a lot of screaming. She also looks like she hasn't slept in a few days. She hissed before pouring herself another glass, staring down at it as if she's not sure she wants to drink it.]

[pimpsaw]

You. [honestly not intending to sound like a smartass]

[tailstabbings]

[Pushes herself up, keeping hold on the porch railing to keep herself stable. She may be coherent, but she's still pretty drunk, and her ankles still hurt like hell.]

Listen, I'm far beyond the point where I'm feeling tolerant of bullshit. What the hell do you want?

[pimpsaw]

Nothing.

Perhaps my presence would not bother you so much if you simply ignored me.

[tailstabbings]

...Tch... [Finally gets a good look at her and shakes her head.] You're not one of them... So it doesn't matter.

[She sinks down to sitting where she had been.]

..Drink? [Holds up the bottle.]

[pimpsaw]

I don't require sustenance. [she approaches nonetheless]

[tailstabbings]

It's not sustenance. It's alcohol.

[She refills her glass and drinks a bit.]

[pimpsaw]

[just kinda stares at it]

What is the difference?

[tailstabbings]

It's not for survival.

[She drinks a bit more.]

In fact, I think technically it's toxic to some degree or another.

[pimpsaw]

Why do you drink it, then? [totally doesn't get it]

[tailstabbings]

It numbs everything. It keeps me from thinking too much. It also gives me something to do since I've already trashed inside.

[pimpsaw]

Ah. I see.

... May I try some?

[tailstabbings]

[Adiane holds out her glass. She only has one and isn't in the mood to go inside and get another.]

It's strong. If you're not a drinker you're not going to want to have too much at once.

[pimpsaw]

[takes a sip and slightly shudders]

[... she doesn't look displeased though]

[tailstabbings]

[The weakest of smirks passes across her lips for a shirt moment before she slumps against the porch railing.]

Not so bad, hm?
