Okay. Two thingsth.

One: Where the fuck are the computersth. Thith primitive shit got old like two daysth ago, and if I have to go another few daysth without thomething electronic, I'm going to flip the fuck out.

Two: Where can I get a NORMAL drink? All I'm finding ith thith fruity thtuff that burnsth.

Have you attempted simply asking for something to drink that does not burn? Or have you attempted so and the request has not been granted?

[p2iioniic]

I athk for a drink, they give me a bottle that tasthesth grossth. I athk for another, thame thing. Repeat five more timesth. I got a fucking drink with a dead thnake in it. I think I drank goddamn DRAIN CLEANER at thome point. It'th an endlessth fucking cycle of them NOT UNDERSTHTANDING I DON'T WANT ALCOHOL.

[...Give him a sec, the lisp is harder to understand when he talks more.]

Surely there must be something else to drink... have you attempted searching the boat?

[p2iioniic]

...

Thort of.

[Read: not really.]

...If you are on the cruise ship, I imagine they would at least have water - it may not be what you were hoping for, but at the very least it would not burn.

I cannot say I know what the other ships are like, however. So there may not be water on them.

[p2iioniic]

I had water but that'th boring. I guessth I could try and put the alcohol in water tho it'th not ath bad. Do you think that would work?

[bedninja]

I cannot say that I would know! But it seems as though it might still burn if you tried that... or it would simply taste... I believe the term is "watered down"?

...if that is the case however, it may at least be less unpleasant.

[p2iioniic]

Maybe I should jutht keep drinking thith, and then drinking the water afterwardsth for the burn. It doesthn't tasthte that bad until it goesth down.

[bedninja]

...but does that not mean that is tastes bad whenever you swallow it? I do not entirely see the point in drinking something like that.

[p2iioniic]

Doeth it look like I have a whole lot of choicesth here?

...

Bethidesth, it'th thtarting to not tathte tho bad. Jutht kind of numb now.

[bedninja]

...Are you certain that is necessarily a good thing? Typically numbness is meant to cause alarm, is it not?

[Especially when there was mention of snakes! ...he thinks that's what the guy said, at least.]

[p2iioniic]

[PROBABLY, YES. Numbness should mean alarm!!

Except he's not at all alarmed, whoops.]

Ehehehehe...

Nah.

[bedninja]

...Do you believe that you are feeling all right?

[He... he just went from shouting about not wanting alcohol to laughing in a non-creepy way... Pharos doesn't know what to make of that at all.]

[p2iioniic]

[SUCH.

A LONG.

PAUSE.]

...Yeah, I'm okay.

[bedninja]

If you are certain then I suppose I have no reason to disbelieve you... [Potential snake poisoning aside... he doesn't know Sollux enough to say whether or not this behavior is totally bizarre for him.]

[p2iioniic]

Hey, uh.

Don't-know-your-name guy.

Thorry for yelling earlier. I feel better now.
