[ to be fair to ash, after those first couple of weeks he hadn't really bothered with the mansion's alcohol supply since. but not tonight, tonight is a night for... having a drink.
there are a couple of bottles on the table, and ash is just sat with his back against the sofa, rather than on it, staring daggers into the contents of his glass. everything's fine. ]
[Akira still isn't much of a drinker, and likely won't be one until he's mature enough to appreciate the complicated flavors of wine and liquor. but when he stumbles on Ash in the lounge enjoying a cocktail, he stops. . .]
[he steps into the room]
[and he mutters, voice a bit wry]
They say drinking alone is worse for your health than drinking with a friend.
We can't really afford to lose more people, can we? If I can pull out an healing item or an ARCUS with some orbments in I could maybe do something to heal someone before they die during execution or get rid of a monster from somone. Maybe.
...
It's that or a just pull out a replica mansion and trick the Oddity into that one instead.

Knock yourself out. Strongest is the one with the blue label, avoid it if you're a lightweight. [ drinking to cope with feelies is fine. ]

[internal sweating]
Whaaaat do you recommend for a total lightweight like me?

Something mixed with juice. Or some kind of cider, that's got less alcohol volume and doesn't taste like booze.
no subject
Got it. You're a real pro at this.

[a bit more softly]

I'm pissed as hell. [ Said VERY bluntly. ]

[that's about what Akira expected. his expression sobers]
I am, too.

And if he wasn't a monster killing, then it's just cowardly.

With two victims this week, it's likely one of them wasn't a monster.
. . . someone decided to kill even knowing that doing so was just shooting us all in the foot. And that's extra shitty.

Hey. What did you get from the doll thing on Wednesday?

Doll thing? you mean the game Blue had us play?

A chainsaw that can cut through anything.
Even something that can't be seen.

Like a bond between an enigmatic master and a demon house that traps people for laughs?

Treasure chest. It can produce any object, regardless of size.

[his mouth twitches. Ash is on the same page as him]
That's useful. What are you thinking about asking from it?
