Video, un: Ordinary

[Set a few days after the guild halls opened up and the initial excitement on that has died down.]

I think there's a lot of anxiety in the air right now, which only stands to reason; We're in a new and strange place against our will with a bunch of strangers. Anyone would be kinda grumpy in a situation like that, right? I don't think we can really do anything about being lost in a strange new place right now, but we CAN do something about being strangers!

Look all I'm saying is there's nothing that will break the ice with new people better than getting outrageously drunk together and making a ton of bad decisions. We will form an unbreakable bond together, forged of hangovers and foggy memories. We can start at the Summer Guild Hall and end up who knows where.

No, seriously, I'm asking. Who knows of some good taverns around Nightwake? I bet there's a bunch in a city like this.

Obviously you'd embarrass yourself. That's the point! It's fine though because everyone else is also embarrassing themselves.

Ehhh, I dunno... I've never really gotten drunk before either.

W....wait really? Never?

[OH NO SHE THOUGHT BRIDGET WAS COOL]

N-no? I mean I've had a few drinks but I've never like, you know, gotten drunk?

[ OH NO DOES MARISA HATE HER NOW? ]

Do you have some kind of inhuman metabolism that makes it hard for you to get drunk?

[That would be a terrible fate.]

No! I just never had the chance. Or really like, wanted to...

You're not a Buddhist are you?

No? I've just been busy with other stuff! No time!

From where I’m sitting it looks like we’ve got nothing but time around here.

I mean, now we do. I guess.

Well, I’m not gonna force you if you don’t wanna.

[But she can’t disguise the mild disappointment in her voice.]

I'm not saying I don't want to! I just don't know what the legal drinking age is here, is all...

[A beat.]

…legal drinking age?

You know, like, the age when you can buy alcohol according to the law?

I guess you don't want to give liquor to kids but we don't really have anything formal like that in the human village.

Huh. I've never heard of a place that doesn't have one! That's interesting.

But, uh. Assuming I can drink here, I'd have one with you.

Oh, I was gonna mark you down as not interested.

I'll hold you to that, then!

I hope you will!
