[That's still not convincing, but he's getting nowhere and knows when to stop pushing.]

Yeah. You do the same, okay?

[That's... Not the response he's expecting, and he has to consider for a minute how to answer.]

Yeah.

[He's drank legally before since he's old enough to do so in Canada, though he's a few years off in the United States. Still, he's going to guess the scary monster-ridden cave doesn't have a drinking age anyway, so it's fair to say yes.]

[Huh. Not an entirely unfamiliar offer and so he's not bothered by the slightly harsh way of putting it, but he really isn't sure how to respond.

On one hand, he does drink, and after everything that happened it's really tempting. On the other hand, even though he does drink he doesn't actually get drunk anymore, not after being too inebriated to help when the twins went missing. Knowing what happened to them helps alleviate some guilt in that--even if he'd been able to go after them he would've just been a third casualty that night--but there's still the fear that something like that might happen in the future and he'll be useless.

Not to mention that, despite how much he'd love to forget about everything for awhile, he knows if he starts drinking as a way to cope he won't stop.

But that doesn't mean he's going to refuse. Whiskey is good for things besides drinking and it's fine if he has a little anyway, but more importantly he'll be able to get a better read on Maketh and he doesn't want to refuse an offer of reaching out.]


Deal. Where should I meet you?

Okay, cool. I'll be over there soon then, if that's cool?

[He has to leave a note so his housemates don't worry, and it'll just take him a little while to get there once he does leave between his bad knee and the injuries he ended up with during the event.]

[After getting everything in order to make sure his friends won't be concerned about him missing and gathering up a bit of the definitely human-meat-free food they'd collected to bring with him--drinking on an empty stomach isn't the best idea--Chris heads out toward the Spire.

It's nice to be able to go out with only the normal fear of monsters, as opposed to the very immediate and imminent threat of potentially running into a wendigo. Still, he's even more cautious than usual, listening carefully for anything that might be approaching and half-expecting to hear the all too familiar sound of a wendigo scream.

But nothing happens, and after a little while he makes it to the Spire. He's never visited one of these things before, glancing around curiously before finding apartment 101 and knocking on the door.]

[Since the last time he saw her she was turning into a monster, he's not super surprised by the change in her usual appearance mostly since he doesn't have anything to compare it to. She is dressed casually enough though that he actually realizes that he's agreed to show up to the apartment of some woman he barely knows for a drink, and what that usually means, but he's pretty sure she doesn't mean anything by it and he's not interested, so he'll just ignore that awkwardness for now.

Chris is definitely tall, wearing jeans and a few layers of assorted shirts and jackets that hide most of the thankfully not serious injuries he got from a run-in with a partially transformed wendigo. He looks tired but friendly, not exactly the intimidating type, and he offers Maketh a small smile at her greeting.]


Hey. Nice to meet you in person.

[He steps into the apartment after her, glancing around the place as he follows her over to the table; he doesn't quite have a limp, but definitely favors his right leg.]

Nah, all seems mostly quiet once again in the deadly monster cave.

[It's said mostly flatly, with just the slightest bit of humor at how ridiculous it is that this is the situation they're in. He does consider asking her how she's doing in return, but decides not to push too much yet.]

Where'd you find whiskey around here anyway?

[He takes a seat at the table across from her, setting the small bag he's brought with him on the table as well, about to start digging through it when she asks him a question.]

No, I screwed it up before I got here and just keep making it worse, so...

[No real point in wasting time and supplies and all of that. Even though he knows some people here have healing powers and he's considered asking for a favor, he's pretty sure he'd manage to injure himself five minutes after getting it healed anyway.]

We haven't been looking much in the abandoned homes, just the stores.

[So that's an idea. But they've generally been playing it safe, and the stores are more frequently visited and so less likely to be newly homes to monsters.

He pulls out a few little containers of one of the strictly vegetarian meals Sam had showed them how to make, offering one toward Maketh.]


Not sure if you, you know. Had much food to go with your alcohol.

[And for some time after he and his friends arrived in this place even doing something as simple as making food had been a daunting task, after what they'd gone through at home. He imagines turning into a monster and dying probably puts Maketh in a similar position, and he isn't sure if she has anyone looking out for her the way his friends had all looked out for each other.]

Yes ma'am.

[He's not actually promising to agree; it's more said as a light, slightly humorous response to the order than anything else. But maybe he'll at least talk to the guy who runs the clinic, once the aftermath of the wendigo event dies down a bit.

He nods at the comment about the supplies, because it's definitely true; he wonders which god is responsible for stocking the stores, because it might actually matter. Rage and Fear obviously don't know what they're doing--assuming they were genuinely trying to help Hope out with the food thing--and Hope seems to be pretty drained, so who knows how steady their supplies might end up being in the future.]


Yeah. Probably worth the risk, I guess, especially if there's some better stuff. There's five of us at my place, too.

[So they need a lot of supplies, pretty often. He offers a small smile at the thanks.]

No problem. Drinking isn't much fun if you just get sick right after anyway.

[He just offers another dorky grin at the side-eye, the perfectly innocent look of someone who gets that expression turned toward him a lot. Though he does know when not to test his luck, so he'll focus on answering that question.]

Yeah. Including me, there's five.

[The smile fades a bit, and he shifts his gaze down toward the empty glasses Maketh has arranged.]

There was a sixth, but she disappeared. During the event.

I don't think so.

[He might've been more concerned about the possibility if this hadn't happened once already.]

Sometimes people just... Leave. Apparently.

[He's not sure how to interpret that response except maybe she's dubious about the idea, but he doesn't elaborate at the moment. Instead he considers the shot she slides toward him, and decides one shot isn't going to hurt.

So he lifts the glass in a gesture of cheers before tipping it back. It's been over a year since he did any shots so it's a little stronger than he's expecting, and earns a probably somewhat amusing face and cough once he's done.]


Haven't done that in while.

Yeah, liquor's usually a little too expensive for college students.

[So most of the parties he has attended in the past year served beer at the strongest anyway, in addition to him generally avoiding overdoing it.

The civilian comment gets his interest.]


'Civilians?' Are you like, military or a cop or something?

[Who knows what people might be in this place.[
