paradisa | xiv λ drinking

[The past few days have been, to say the least, a lot of bullshit to handle.

Never mind the confrontation with Altaïr: Entire entries on the journal about menstruation? Clothes shopping with Stephanie and Cristina, only for Cristina to demand to know about his true profession? Confronting Aradia about being loose with his secrets? Losing a bet to Molotov, discovering he has fathered not only a child but illegitimate children? Worse yet, Cristina coming across that conversation?

That was a lot.

As a result, Ezio is sitting in the otherwise-abandoned Death Match, drinking to his heart's content and playing darts with throwing knives. His aim gets a little more off with each more drink, but that's okay. Who the fuck uses the Death Match anyway?

Feel free to overhear him making noise or occasionally breaking a glass or bottle or something and join him. ]

Then why are the majority of the women here unmarried?

[Pause.]

Chanukah?

[He definitely mangles that, trying to repeat it back to her.]

[ A shrug. ]

Maybe they aren't looking to settle or haven't found someone.

Jewish holiday.

I see.

[He considers that for a few minutes, hand drifting back to the wine bottle.]

Strange, how priorities change.

Everything will change again. My norm will be outdated and weird in another hundred years.

Yes, but I did not expect to ever see such change for myself.

Most people don't.

I suppose not.

You're from a long time ago anyway. Nobody would fault you for that.

I would hope not... [laugh] That feels like it would be a little cruel.

People can be ignorant, even in my time.

Well, ignorance is a part of being human, I think... but at least we strive to overcome it. Or something like that!

Anyway, can you walk back to your room? Or do we need to roll out a stretcher?

No, no. Thank you for your kindness, but I think I will be meeting a friend.

For more drinking? I hope not.

Maybe. We will see.

Is it unacceptable to drink like this, in your time?

It's not seen as a good thing. I don't suppose you've heard of alcohol poisoning here yet?

I assume it is not as straightforward as poisoned alcohol.

It means when you have too much alcohol in your blood.

[Hello, basically zero concept of biology.]

How does it get in your blood?

[ This is why she highly recommends the library. ]

Everything you eat and drink is... metabolized. It just means your body is taking in all the nutrients and such from whatever is ingested to sustain life.

But too much of anything is never good.

[What does any of that mean.]

I don't get it.

Never mind. There's books in the library on it.

Basically, too much alcohol can kill you if you're not careful.

I don't know of a single person who has died from too much drink... that I can think of, anyhow.

It can cause liver failure. Could be a slow death.

That is concerning.

[Frown.]
