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?

Thank you; your offer is very kind.
It's not the first time I've had alcohol, I assure you; I'm not *that* inexperienced.
It's only the first time I'm drinking with the intention of inebriating myself.
And to be perfectly candid, I think having someone else around might be... embarrassing?
no subject
Perhaps I may be over-worrying. Heck... Maybe I'm even projecting a bit. But if not me, at least try to find someone to be with, all right?

But, darn it, it was difficult not to.]

However, I will have to respectfully decline your offer.
I think I can handle myself.
no subject
...
Well, it's not as if I am capable of forcing you or anything of the sort.
In the end, it is all your own decision.
Just, please take care of yourself if you do, all right? And try to keep from doing anything ridiculous. Like going out because of a spontaneous craving, or texting a friend over a stupid spur of the moment thought you've had...
[Believe him. None of those things end well when you're off drinking alone.]
no subject
Again, I appreciate the concern, I think.
I don't intend to do any of those things.
I'm typically the one preventing the ridiculous activity myself.
I assume you speak from experience?
no subject
Um... Partially?
But as in control of yourself as you may be when sober, that will not judge how you might behave when you have a few drinks in you. Just... I guess all I can ask is that you keep aware of yourself of all times, all right? And be careful. But at the same time don't let it keep you from enjoying yourself a little as well?
Even if it's because of something sad that happened, you can't let it just feed that sadness.
[And that was something he knew from experience.]
no subject
All right.
As I said, I will be careful. And I will keep that in mind.
Thank you.
no subject
Of course.
Oh! And um... Just, as a bit of a final note, I guess. Try to not get carried away with how alone you are right now. Even if you think you have no one close to you at the moment, one of the few bright sides about being in a new place like this is that there's so much opportunity to form new and exciting relationships that we all would have never otherwise formed.
I know it might sound kind of preachy, but please keep yourself open to the people around you. You never know what sort of amazing impact they may play on your future as long as you allow them.
It's not really about me but, since this was a public post, I'm absolutely sure there must be others close to your age and interests who are more than happy getting to help you out and get to know you in the process.
no subject
I assure you that I am not wallowing in my "loneliness." I have made many friends here.
If you are concerned that I am lacking an emotional support system, I assure you that this couldn't be further from the case.
But a dear friend of mine has gone back to sleep in orbit. And I wish some time to indulge my feelings.
That is all.
Now will there be anything else?
[Sorry, Phoenix. She got a little snippy.]
no subject
He was obviously pressing a little too much there. Probably best to just back off a bit.]
Ehh... No! No! Nothing else really! I didn't mean to get invasive there or anything! Maybe I just was projecting too much. Ahah...hah... Yeah.
Well then! I suppose, if anything, I hope you have a satisfying night with it all? I hope it at least all helps you in sorting things out.
[Man this was kind of awkward.]
no subject
I'm capable of looking after myself. Your advice is appreciated.
Good night.
no subject
Goodnight.
[Really, what more could he do in this sort of situation? The adult responsibility he had felt made him want to chastise her, but he really didn't know her well enough.
Let sleeping tigers lie. Or, let sad teenagers drink their sorrows away? Yeah... That really did sound bad.]
