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.]

[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?

[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?

[codename_duchess]

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

[this_corrosion]

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

S'uncalled for.

[agoodboyreally]

It wasn't tearing! We thought it would be a good idea!

[this_corrosion]

I'm almost ...ninety percent sure it wouldn't.

[agoodboyreally]

I wanted to know what would happen, or so I told myself.

[this_corrosion]

What happens is your limb comes off!

[agoodboyreally]

But how does it regrow? Can it? You have to ask yourself questions like that.

[this_corrosion]

No you fucking don't!

[agoodboyreally]

What about if you care about the spread of human knowledge?

[this_corrosion]

You do it some other way!

[agoodboyreally]

It isn't a joke. How drunk are you two?

[codename_duchess]

The regular amount.

[agoodboyreally]

Incomprehensible?

[codename_duchess]

I'm totally comprehensible! At least I believe I am.

...Wow. [He nudges Gary conspiratorially.] These things really pack a punch, huh?

[this_corrosion]

I'm comprehending everything.

[This is a yes? Maybe?]

[agoodboyreally]

I understand each word, but not what they mean together.
