DRUNK MEME

[boundlesslight.livejournal.com]

The premise is really very simple: The characters posted here are getting drunk at this on-planet marketplace. If your character would normally do so, you need no further instruction. Have fun!

If your character's a teetotaler, though, no worries. All the foods and beverages here at this strange marketplace of wonders are so imperceptibly alcohol-laced that no one will have a clue until it's too late. :3 By then, the fun's already beginning and there is NO ESCAPE. You are all DOOMED to suffer. Or puke. Or be really really super, if you're the type to process alcohol amazingly well.

Eat, drink, and have a party! There's plenty of partying with the locals over here for your characters to join in on. You have the vendors' corridor and a field outside it to roam around in, and for some reason the outdoor field is stocked with enormous gliding kites. This recipe sounds pretty disasteriffic to me.

Katara went toward the singing, naturally a little curious when it came to music, and saw it was Matt. She couldn't help breaking out in a smile here: she hadn't seen Matt for a bit, and it was to see him in good spirits, even in this state.

"Hey Matt!" She greeted. "What are you singing?"

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

"Drinking song!" proclaimed Matt, raising a tankard to Katara as he held out a hand. "Come, sing with me!"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara grabbed a tankard, right now unwilling to be outdone, but was a little awkward about singing a song she didn't know. "Um Matt, I don't really know the song, how can I sing it?"

Not that she wasn't willing, she was definitely inebriated to do it.

"It's easy just follow me!" exclaimed Matt, stamping his foot in a beat while clapping his hands.

There's a saucy mare on the great big sea
her hands were filled with brew so green
I said to the captain what shall we do
with this greenish ale so bright and trueeeee~

Well the captain said now lad don't fuss
we'll drink it down with all the trust
cause she's a girl who serves us ale
and rum and wine we'll tie to the sail!

Katara tried her best, but even she knew that knowing the lyrics were actually helpful, and she was only just trying to catch up. What she could do, however, was something she was always fairly good at.

She caught the beat, and decided to dance.

A jig was new of course, but it was only about keeping the pattern, and even drunk she could still do it. She even mimicked pouring Matt another bit of ale for himself.

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

Matt was having a good time, and knew that Katara was trying her best, so he led her along with the dance while his voice raised again.

Well that greenish ale it went down hard
and twenty men fell off the yardarm
they twitched and they spun but it was clear to see
that we'd drink it all for our fair lady

Her hair was dark in ringlet curls
her eyes were blue and colored sapphire
her bright laughter rang off the coast
as we set sail into the golden host

And now as we see with the lady in our arms
we have no wench no we have no yarn
this is a charm, this is a brilliant taaaaaale~

To be drinking that ladys sweet greenish allleeeeee!

Katara mimicked the music as best as she could, and started to dance right along with Matt, at least able to keep his pace and collapse alongside him at the ending, laughing and cheering.

"Where'd you learn this song?" She asked, wiping the sweat off her brow and flexing a little. "It sounds like something Jamie would sing!"

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

Matt laughed as he took a cleansing swig of his drink. "Made it up, about three seconds ago," he replied with a throaty noise to his voice. "I'm like that."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

She shook her head. "It's like you to be spontaneous like that," she said, wondering about what kind of drink that was actually drink. She took another drink, carefully swallowing. "One of these days you have to let me know where your inspiration comes from!"

So lucky they were drunk. No awkwardness at all!

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

"I have very good sources," grinned Matt as he took a swig himself. Nope, no awkwardness here. Especially since he described Katara in the singing.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Poor Katara who didn't know that the description meant her at all: she figured these sort of songs described one of those kind of women who could walk into a bar freely, like Jun back in her world.

"So you know someone like that in your world?" Katara said, working hard to stay on her own two feet. "That's really great. I wish I had that talent!"

The latter was true. The former? Not so much.

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

"One or two people, but I get my inspiration for appearances elsewhere," admitted Matt with a light grin and shrug.

"I'm really good at picking up little things and integrating them into songs."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"Well that's nice," Katara said, still, thanks to the alcohol, still blissfully unaware of certain things. "I always thought you were talented for doing things like that, you know. Everyone's talented at things, and you're really good at writing things that make people really appreciate music."

Yes, she's gushing a little, she's allowed.

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

"Aw well I just do what I love the most which is music," admitted Matt, rubbing his head and turning a little red. "I mean, you've got a great talent for healing and you're a really great dancer too!"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"There aren't too many people who can do what you do on the ship," Katara said, and as far as she knew, it was the truth. She flushed a little at the mention at what she could do.

"Thanks Matt, and sorry for...for..." Well crud. Now she forgot what she was apologizing for. It was something important, right?

"Well, something, anyway," she giggled. "How are you feeling?"

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

"Uplifted," replied Matt as he took a sip of what remained at the end of his tankard. "I'm thinking I'm up for another song to be honest."

And he started to thump his foot on the ground once more.

My bonnie lass her hair so dark
She sits and pearls and sometimes darns
but the thing I love most about her smile
and all the things she does with style

But the one thing I like about her always
is the fact that I'm relaxed all day
when she's right there, or maybe somewhere
or even out doing her hair
you gotta know that all these things
change all of our lives with just one grin.

Oooooooh sheeeeeeeee
laughs and she sings
she rages and she sways
her drink is fast
and her switch untamed
her curls they bounce
and the long dark hair just
falls to her waist
like a English gent down the stairs
we tumble and fall
we get up and fall more
she laughs at our misery
but bandages our arm
her grin is infectious
even though she makes so
that our arm isn't bruised
and our egos just so~!

Katara clapped eagerly. Yup, this was reminding her a lot of Jamie, especially the opening lines, but of course Jami would have been the first to tell Katara his voice wasn't up to snuff. Matt's, of course, was as wonderful as always and she found that she could drink a little bit more when he was singing like this.

"It's a nice song, and I wish I knew what all of the words meant!" Katara said, clunking down the tankard and deciding not to get up so fast: she was already feeling woozy. "The song sounds like Jamie's world, though usually the 'lasses' are either red haired or blonde. I never heard one about a dark haired girl. It has a nice ring to it. Thanks, Matt."

And she smiles, right before she blinks and is now lying down on the floor.

"Um...I think I may have had too much," she murmured.
