[...Well, it didn't take long for someone to figure out just what was going on. After the water for the ramen broth started smelling funny, he kinda figured something was up. Doing a few more tests elsewhere; the restroom, at home, random public place... only confirmed it. Something was up with the water

Hey, Minato!

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

You're starting to sound like Kanda...

You never know, though.

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Mmm... -- Don't ever leave, Minato. You're too much of a good friend.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

I have no plans on going anywhere. Not for a while. Just so long as you can promise me the same thing.

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

[she flashes him a faint smile.]

I promise.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Good.

...Doesn't look like anyone else is coming. You want to go do something now?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Yeah. -- I want more of that sweet drink I had.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

...Sweet drink?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Yeah! It was pink and it tasted great!

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Not sure I know what it is...

Do you know where you found it?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Yeah, c'mon!

[she jumps to her feet, stumbling a tad before reaching over to his arm to yank.]

I'll show you.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Ah, okay, then.

[He stands up with her yank, keeping hold so she doesn't topple over.]

Lead the way.

[la de da, she guides him out of the food place and down some hallway, until they reach a water fountain in the middle of the area. But instead of water, it's pouring out strawberry-like alcoholic stuff.]

Here!

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

[Okay. Two problems here. One, that's a public fountain. Who knows what's been in it. Two, even from here, he can smell the alcohol. Might explain why Maka seemed drunk. Because she was.]

...Uh... Maka? You know that's booze, right?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Huh? No, it's not.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Smell it. That's alcohol.
