This isn't something that I typically find myself asking or even thinking about, to be honest.
But I suppose I'm of age now, and "of age" is a somewhat irrelevant concept when the countries and laws we come from no longer exist, isn't it?

With that said:

In our current circumstance, where might one find an alcoholic drink?

[ It's not like he is either, and he knows it. It's been a process, and the learning curve is steep. ]

It is frustrating. I used to like being able to look at the moon.

[fiendennor]

There's a simple answer, isn't it? "Get used to how things are now."

[Another sigh.] The very definition of something easier said than done.

[sparsity]

[ If it were anyone else it would have been his default answer. ]

Yeah. [ No use in assurances, or saying the opposite. ] I hope she wakes up again soon.

[ Well. ]

If you go out, you know how to get in contact with me.

[ Not that he doesn't think she can't look after herself, but sometimes it's better to not have that worry at all. ]

[fiendennor]

[There's a soft laugh from her end of things.] Are you offering, Mikazuki?

I didn't think you were the type to enjoy that sort of thing. [She's touched by the offer. And a little amused.] ...but thank you.

[sparsity]

Well... a little.

[ Don't call him out? ]

I got used to it here, after everything.

[fiendennor]

That's understandable.

[She takes a long breath.] I think, all in all, I may just purchase something and then retire to my quarters here. It's quieter.

You're welcome to come by.

[sparsity]

Okay. [ Sounds safer... and less noisy. Also an important distinction. ] Let me know when you're there.

[ Not that he's worried or anything. ]

[fiendennor]

I will. I can't imagine it'll take long for me to find a place to purchase it here. It's... sold at a lot of places, isn't it?

[Guess who has literally never bought alcohol in her life?]

[sparsity]

Most general stores should have it. Bars don't let you take it outside.

[ Mikazuki isn't even a seasoned drinker but he's been around enough rowdy celebrations to know... a couple of things, at the very least. ]

[fiendennor]

Oh, they don't? I suppose that makes sense. They would want people to stay inside and drink more, after all.

[sparsity]

That's the business.

[ Though he does remember a few places he took parts to for their coolers and such. Let's see...

After a few moments, Diana gets a location or two on her device. ]

Those are the grocers I saw when I was working.

[fiendennor]

--ah, thank you! I'll be sure to stop by here.

And then I'll let you know about where to find me?

[And then they drank and talked about feelings? End here or play it out? I'm fine with both~]

[sparsity]

[ we can end it there! AND THEN THEY GOT DRUNK AND TALKED ABOUT FEELINGS FOR THEIR PODDED LOVE INTERESTS.

(if you wanna hash out specifics just plurk me boo) ]
