Amy sat at her desk, her usually neat hair looking quite ragged, falling here and there about her shoulders. There was no more alcohol in her laboratory, and the main computer had barred her from being able to sign in. With a sigh, she thought about the past few days. She had assassinated her former bosses for falsifying information that would lead her planet to destruction, but it was only a matter of time before she would know for sure if she did it soon enough. The flickering, fading lights complimented the bleak static coming from the radio. The entire world was at a stand still.

[silentmanipulator]

Then I'm gonna hafta to do it myself.

[Heads to the kitchen]

Eh? That's it. That's my job. My world is unravelin' as we speak 'cause of those lazy liars I took down. Gone. Well, almos' gone.

Hmm. You’re a hero to us all.

[silentmanipulator]

Well why don't you just kill me now. I'm running out of booze.

Eh? That's it. That's my job. My world is unravelin' as we speak 'cause of those lazy liars I took down. Gone. Well, almos' gone.

Hmm. You’re a hero to us all.

[silentmanipulator]

I'll *hic* letcha have my soul for a place to stay.

Eh? That's it. That's my job. My world is unravelin' as we speak 'cause of those lazy liars I took down. Gone. Well, almos' gone.

Hmm. You’re a hero to us all.

[silentmanipulator]

[Sways as she turns to look at him]

How much is it gonna cost me for a place to stay?

Eh? That's it. That's my job. My world is unravelin' as we speak 'cause of those lazy liars I took down. Gone. Well, almos' gone.

Hmm. You’re a hero to us all.

[silentmanipulator]

[Raises an eyebrow at him] What a buzz kill.

Musta came here after all that ruckus yesterday. [Stands up, labcoat hanging on sloppily, hand on her chest] Sooo sorry for the intrusion, dear sir. And now, I shall leave you to your soli- *hic* solitude, or, whate'er. Yeah.

Just as soon as I fin' the fron' door.

[Someone is drunk out of her mind and passed out on his couch]

[And he is exceedingly irritated by it]

[Not so casually, pushes her off]

[silentmanipulator]

Ya know what it's like when your whole world is literally crumblin'? Yeah, it's that bad. Since I'll soon be out of a job, I'll be crashin' at your place.

[Drunken giggles]

Eh? That's it. That's my job. My world is unravelin' as we speak 'cause of those lazy liars I took down. Gone. Well, almos' gone.

Hmm. You’re a hero to us all.

[silentmanipulator]

[Jolts up when she hits the floor] I'm awake! I'm- [Looks at her watch and rubs her head] Oh wow, it's been this long and I'm still alive, what a surprise.

[Goes to drink from her flask, but finds it empty]

Crap.

[Looks up at him] Yo, incubus, ya got somethin' strong?

[Someone is drunk out of her mind and passed out on his couch]

[And he is exceedingly irritated by it]

[Not so casually, pushes her off]

[silentmanipulator]

Psh, like I care 'bout man-eatin' creatures and your stupid fairies.

I just had to kill my bosses to keep my world from dying. [takes another swig from her flask]

Don’t touch me!

-No, no, this was bad indeed; Gilbert did not trust drunk people all that much and backs away from her-

I’m not your anything.

[silentmanipulator]

Darn right I'm not your anything.

[flops back against a tree stump]

I.... [motions with her hand] ...I may have done something I regret doing.

…Oh, God.

-Great. Drunks out in his woods. That never ends well…-

[silentmanipulator]

[Sloppily ruffles his hair]

How's my little dollie wollie?

H— hello?! Who’s there?!

I- I’m armed! Don’t try anything!

[silentmanipulator]

'Eyyyyyyy! *hic*

[Leans against the doorframe]

H— hello?! Who’s there?!

I- I’m armed! Don’t try anything!

[silentmanipulator]

[Shoos a robot away from the artificial garden]

If it weren't for these lights, I'd be paler than this.

[Lays down on the floor]

[silentmanipulator]

"One of these days I'll get a vacation..."

[silentmanipulator]

Amy ducked back into the icy shadows. This, no, this was not an opportune time to speak with the creature. Cursing her poor timing, she tried to configure her watch so she would go back further.

"Please… Forgive my absence."

Gilbert leans heavily on a crystalline staff, the tip dug hard into the loose stone floor of the courtyard. Unlike usual, the King is wrapped in many layers of shrouds. Though they are gaudy and as careworn as most of his clothing, they are far more… Bulky and protective, if those are the right words.

His crown has shrunk to a mere icy circlet hidden among white curls. Even his facial markings and glittering beads look dulled.

"I had to cut off my wings."

[silentmanipulator]

*Bluntly* I have off and usually spend it drunk out of my mind.

Hey devil, come drinking with me.

I don’t drink.
