Sixty Ninth Sip

[mal_addict]

[Maladict is sitting in the Death Match, a cup of blood on the table before her, fresh from the clinic. She's been leaning forward, staring at it intently, before she pulls out her journal to speak into it]

Yesterday was the League of Temperance day...not that that means much to any of you. Hell, I missed it myself, what with being in that Toe-key-oh place and being human and all.

[She runs a finger over the rim of the glass, and she's reminded how easy it would be to just down it. To just give in. She's not been in the best of places recently, but she's somewhat happy to learn that she still doesn't want to give up just yet. That she still wants to be this person she made for herself out of the ashes of her former life. That she's still okay with being her...whoever 'her' is]

Anyway. It's been five years and a day of being on the wagon. Yay me.

[Another pause]

Everyone get out of that mess with the creepy mask guy okay?

I am told that it;s the thought that counts.

[samson]

Even when fighting monsters are involved, I guess.

[mal_addict]

I think it especially counts in those instances.

[samson]

So... what, you... teleported, fought a monster, and that was it?

[mal_addict]

Pretty much. Just a regular Paradisa holiday, really.

[samson]

Regular for you, maybe. It was just boring for me...

[Spending a week in Tokyo with an unlimited credit card... so boring...]

[mal_addict]

Poor dear. I'm sure next time, you'll get to punch something.

[samson]

Maybe.

[What a stupid thing to be petulant about. And yet...]

[mal_addict]

Are you going to sulk about this now?

[samson]

It's just not fair...

[mal_addict]

Life generally isn't, in case you haven't noticed.

[samson]

Yeah, but usually there's a thing or two around for me to punch, too.

[mal_addict]

Maybe next time, my friend, maybe next time.

[samson]

If the castle doesn't get me a big thing to punch for my birthday, I'm gonna be pissed.

[He's... joking. Maybe? That might be a joke.

Or he may have just doomed them all. You know, it's hard to tell.]

[mal_addict]

[Brock those sort of jokes aren't even funny]

If it's another slime monster, I'll punch you.

[samson]

[Yeah he's a pretty awful comedian.]

It'll be worth it.

[mal_addict]

You keep telling yourself that.
