[Muttering.] This was a terrible idea...

Not a fan of bars?

[hopelesssemantic]

No, I'm not really big on -- [He's interrupted by a drunk pushing his between them to get to the bar, forcing Daniel to lean back on his stool to avoid getting an overly rambunctious elbow to the shoulder.] ... crowds.

[Ugh. He hates this. Damn Lewicki and his bright ideas.]

[colonelcannibal]

I'm not the best at dealing with crowds myself, but thankfully the alcohol helps.

[Daniel glances down at the glass of water he's been nursing for the last half hour.] Yeah, I bet it does.

[colonelcannibal]

You don't drink?

[hopelesssemantic]

I used to. Back in my college days I could drink with the best of them but I, uh -- [He shakes his head a little, tucking his chin to hide his grimace behind the high collar of his coat.] You could say I had a few too many rough nights since then. The hangovers were murder.

[There's a ruckus behind them - a thud, the clink of glasses and then a loud chorus of laughter as someone spills their drink - and Daniel peeks over his shoulder to look, leery and little envious.]

[colonelcannibal]

As long as they weren't literally murder, right?

*He looks over too, then shakes his head mock-despairingly.* Young people can never hold their liquor.

[... That strikes Daniel as an odd thing to say and he pauses, having a cautious sip of his water.] Preferably. I don't know about you but I'd consider it one hell of a buzzkill.

[colonelcannibal]

A hangover is something of a 'buzzkill' already, but point.
