[ It's probably not a video he records or posts deliberately, considering his lack of technological competence. But there he is, slouched alone on a pub patio, moping behind a cloud of cigarette smoke. He's well into a bottle of...good Lord, flavoured vodka? Birthday cake, no less?

Well. It's not like lushes can be picky. ]

Huh. Didn't think I'd make it to see another one of these days.

[ He adds his cigarette butt to the mountain on the ashtray in front of him, and lights another, muttering softly between his teeth, ]

Happy fuckin birthday to ya, Johnny.
Useless twit.

[Oh yeah. Definitely a butt dial, or fat fingering, or something. That or a pity party, but she's not going to come out and say that.]

Hey. You turned the thing on.

[heckblazer]

Well, shit.

...also how this stuff tastes, actually. Not much of one to turn back, though. Must stay committed to my idiom. Or something.

[ Yeah, there's some good old fashioned rambling. Have fun with that, sister. ]

[storyseeker]

[She can deal.]

That's taking the easy way out. If you're determined to drown your sorrows in a thematically appropriate way in front of everyone, it doesn't have to be with crappy novelty liquor.

[heckblazer]

But the crappy novelty liquor is what makes it thematic, innit?

[ Also, having dulled taste buds from years of tobacco abuse helps. ]

Like I said, you can do better. There are amazing shot recipes out there that you don't have to feel ashamed of.

So are you still broadcasting this because you really don't care, or because you want commiserating drinking buddies without having to ask?

[heckblazer]

Well. It went up by accident. Not so great with modern tech. Guess I kept it up because - [ because he keeps failing and pushing away people he cares about and won't admit that he is a mortal like everyone else who craves attention ] - fuck it, s'my birthday and felt like bein' stupid.

Besides, I'm more interested in the effects than the flavour.

[storyseeker]

Well. Happy birthday, then.

I hope you don't regret being stupid in the morning.

[heckblazer]

Always do, never stops me.

[storyseeker]

You sound like some people I know. I'll hope for you that you don't end up with too much reason for it, then.
