I like to imagine that the Bad Friends Trio shade Roderich all the time when they're sober, but when they get really drunk, he becomes Europe's No. 1 taboo topic.

If anyone mentions Roderich while these three got drunk out of their brains, Gilbert gets weepy and angry and all kinds of unintelligible annoying drunkard about how he's been extremely down bad for Roderich ever since the nth century and that asshole keeps choosing anyone, anyone in Europe other than him. He did so much! He kind of tore Roderich's shit apart! And Roderich wouldn't even look at him!

Which makes Antonio start talking about the 200 years he was married to Roderich, not because he wants to hurt Gilbert or because he's jealous, but because he's the sort of drunk who likes to rant and rave about happy times to assert some control over his memories of them after they've slipped out of his hands probably unto forever.

Which makes Gilbert weep worse. Which makes Francis, who's the only one here who actually got to have something with Roderich without putting his entire heart into it, start talking how he totally understands, because Roderich was extremely hot when he was losing a war or when he does this and that. Which makes everything spiral down a drain REALLY FAST.

Bonus funnies if they were doing this in a Swiss bar and got thrown out of the entire country, only to be stalked by a Bastard Frypan Demon From Hell, who may or may not be there for either their blood or their deets.

In the wake of the Spanish flu pandemic and a hike in street car fares from four to five and then six cents, sporting goods stores in Kingston touted bicycles as a safer, healthier, and cheaper form of transportation.

Give me a quiet life. One where I can hear the trees rustling in the wind, raindrops on the windows, pages of a book being turned, coffee being brewed, and the heartbeats of the ones I love.
