012 ♐ Video ♐ I sit and spew my guts out to the open air 'cause no one wants to hear a drunken fool

[codename_duchess]

[For a split second there is darkness, and a muffled "Shit, hold on - hold on, I got it" in Archer’s voice. When he gets his hand off the camera and holds the communicator up properly he’s in his natural state (drunk), behaving normally (drinking), leaning up against a chair propping up Gary’s feet.] Hey Barge, help us out with something.

[Gary is draped over both of the chairs in Archer’s room and endeavoring to take up as much space as is humanly possible. He flips the camera a lazy salute. He is also drunk. His sunglasses are on his head. It’s a party.] We wanted to know, what are some things you’ve done? Or haven’t done? What- what are the things -

[He trails off into giggling. Archer guffaws, raising a tall glass filled with a thick pale green substance in a toast.] Mmmm. So. - Yeah, anyway, we’re playing a game. And we’re going for the record, right, buddy?

I’ve no fucking idea, [Gary replies, grinning like an idiot and finishing off his own glass.]

Jesus Christ, really? We’ve been playing this for - holy shit, four hours and eight minutes. Do you seriously think anyone’s ever played Never Have I Ever for this long before? [Archer pauses thoughtfully.] Have any of you ever played Never Have I Ever for four hours and eight minutes? [He anticipates a no, raising his Green Russian expectantly.] We’re kinda running out of questions.

[Gary reaches down to swat at Archer’s shoulder to get his attention.] Oh, waitwaitwait. Never have I ever kept a Never Have I Ever game going this long!

Except you totally have now! [Archer greets this with a cheer, punching the air as he drains down the rest of the drink in one go.]

[OOC: Truth flood joint post with this_corrosion! Both Gary and Archer are affected. Replies may come from either or both of them.]

[He hasn't figured this one out yet, but assumes it means anyone affected can't tell lies; he's certainly come up with at least one or two in the meantime. (Czeslaw, that isn't how it works.) He knows he can dissemble, at least, and gapes at both of them.]

So you tell the truth as part of a game?

[codename_duchess]

And jerks who are insecure about their own ability to have fun and be awesome tell me not to play this. We're even.

[codename_duchess]

In the best possible way.

Do you want a Green Russian? Makes you feel good!

[codename_duchess]

For breakfast? [Says the man who has been drinking all night and is wasted first thing in the morning.]

[myresponsibility]

Hey, I never told you not to play. I asked why you'd want to play for four hours and eight minutes.

But you know, putting words in people's mouths means you've lost the argument so. Thanks.

[codename_duchess]

...You're making this up.

[ichoosefight]

Sometimes I like to drink something besides coffee.

[codename_duchess]

[Neither have Archer and Gary, really. The combined fun of the game and the effects of the Green Russians they've been drinking like water makes the truth come to Archer easily enough without outside influence.]

Uh. Yeah? You talk about stuff you haven't done, and anyone who has done it has to drink. You'll play it in a couple years, probably.

[agoodboyreally]

[His brain takes the "yeah" as a question, and he quietly suppresses his horror at having to answer something he shouldn't take like a challenge.]

I'm supposed to know a lot of things I don't. And I know a lot of things none of you here know.

[codename_duchess]

Oh yeah, like what? All of Archie's friends' names?

[this_corrosion]

Have you ever played Never Have I Ever?

[agoodboyreally]

[abort abort disconnect but no he has to answer]

I don't know who Archie is. Do you know what it feels like for a severed limb to re-attach itself to your body?

[this_corrosion]

Ew.

[this_corrosion]

That's not a drink.

[codename_duchess]

No. You're shitting me, aren't you?

[this_corrosion]

Come on. You can't say if you had a robot that looked like you you wouldn't at least think about it.

[this_corrosion]

Who the fuck's going around tearing the limbs off of kids?

S'uncalled for.

[la_belle_rogue]

Archer, how can y'be so smart about somethings and completely ignorant about others that are pure common knowledge?

[mistconduct]

I don't fuck robots.

[this_corrosion]

Oh right. They don't have dads.

[mistconduct]

I FUCKING HATE YOU SO MUCH.

[this_corrosion]

[Brief interlude: cackling.]

[mistconduct]

I hope you die alone and sad from autoerotic asphyxiation in your closet at the age of 58, you giant prick.

[codename_duchess]

Because I study some things exceptionally hard and I have absolutely no frame of reference for most things others would consider "common knowledge" or "normal."

...Holy shit. I really am drunk.

[sickjoke]

Yeah. It makes fighting him a huge pain. Nobody likes a super powered twelve year old in an adult body.
