[ Peering down from the rafters, Shadow will catch a glimpse of violet (actually were those red for a second?) eyes once he's settled in. ]

What a surprise to see you here.

[chaoscontrol]

[He figured Natsuno would be here, too. It doesn't matter]

Is it. Is it a surprise.

[sotoshini]

I guess your nose can't sniff out sarcasm either, huh? [ It's not a particularly biting tone, despite how blunt it is.

Maybe hedgehogs don't have sarcasm in their culture, who knows. ]

[chaoscontrol]

[he sighs, rubbing his temples]

Sorry. I... am more on edge than usual.

[sotoshini]

[ He shrugs but ah right Shadow probably can't see from here. Hm well- rather than respond he jumps down landing neatly, a book in hand. ]

People usually are when they drink liquor like that.

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow doesn't seem surprised by the man's agility -- he can get up to the rafters, after all]

Alcohol has little effect on me. I have to drink heavily to feel any effects.

[he doesn't know that removing his powers also removes his INCREDIBLE ALCOHOL TOLERANCE but he'll find out soon enough]

[sotoshini]

Then why are you drinking at all? [ There are a lot of reasons people drink, but as far as he knows they all involve wanting to feel the effects of the liquor somewhat. ]

[chaoscontrol]

[He doesn't honestly have a good reason for it]

.... Psychosomatic effect? I don't know, honestly. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

[sotoshini]

Sounds like something an adult would say while spending their money on it anyway.

[chaoscontrol]

... I hurt my hand. I was hoping it would help with that a little.

[he isn't sure it is. He takes another gulp of whiskey]

[sotoshini]

[ ....does he want to know? Hm. He's already here, and if nothing else this conversation is a distraction. ]

How?

[chaoscontrol]

... I tried to attack the witch. She disappeared before I could.

[he frowns]

And then I punched the wall.

[sotoshini]

Guess she probably wouldn't let me throw water on her either. [ This may or may not be a joke. But that intel is useful, ty shadow. ]

[chaoscontrol]

[that actually gets a small chuckle out of Shadow]

Like in the Wizard of Oz?

[sotoshini]

Yeah. Sometimes reality has a root in fantasy. [ But judging from the small smile on his lips, Natsuno finds it amusing too. ]

[chaoscontrol]

Well, perhaps we should set up a bucket on a string for the next trial, then. If nothing else, she might catch a cold.

[sotoshini]

...it's not like she doesn't encourage to attack her either. [ Blue truth, water, same thing right? ]

[chaoscontrol]

I wonder... if that isn't because she can't attack us first?

[sotoshini]

[ Hm. ]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of her rules.

[chaoscontrol]

I'd bet my bottom dollar it is!
