This choice: Beth, upset. "What gives?!" • Go Back... Sally sighed as she turned to her displeased friend. She knew that Beth would be miffed that she had bailed on their little prank at the last second. "Look, that call Cora just got was from her niece. You know, the one with the... less than ideal home situation? Well she was calling from the police station because she needs bail." Beth's face softened a bit at the reveal of her friend's misfortune. She knew that Cora cared deeply about her niece, sometimes ranting about the shit that girl has to deal with when she was REALLY drunk. Beth continued, "She's probably a bit embarrassed that she needed to involve me, especially since it's conflicting with our get together. I just figured that... now was not the best time to be spiking her drink."
Beth reflexively rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah, ok. Just do what you guy have to do and come on back. Hopefully we can keep the party going when you get back."
"Thanks Beth," Sally smiled before heading out.
------------------------------------------
Tina was either unable or unwilling to assist you at the moment judging from the fact that she proceeded to drop you into some icy cold pool. The clumps of dirt and dust that accompanied you broke apart once they got wet and you were now foating upon the surface. Seems your size was finally helping you a bit by keeping you from breaking the surface tension. Looking around you could see that the liquid was brown and the sides were clear and cylindrical. You recognized that you were now in a drinking glass, one that had been tainted and set on the tray with the rest of the set. You didn't want to stick around to find out why the ladies were ruining perfectly fine booze. Quality or not, you were much more likely to get ingested in here than back on the floor.
Movement proved to be much more difficult than you expected. Too bad you did have more experience walking on water. A hand descended, taking your neighbor. Looking up you saw it was Cora, and your mother was heading for you. You cried out for attention,hoping that the glass might somehow amplify your voice. No luck. Seems you were doomed to get drunk by your own mother as she tried to get drunk herself. However, the lips that had kissed you so many times before never got closer. She just held onto the glass while they talked. Eventually, she set the glass down and you took a breath of relief. You weren't actually much safer, but it still felt like a stroke of luck. You felt like a drink, hoping that the liquid courage would ease your straining nerves. The soap certainly didn't help the taste, but fortunately the dust didn't seem to be small enough to be an issue for your consumption.
Satisfied and starting to feel the buzz, you wondered what you were going to do. Even if you made it to the walls, there was no way you could climb the sheer glass cliff. You floated there contemplating as the alcohol started to spread through your body.
------------------------
Beth was in a bit of a funk. She felt kind of bad about the drink prank, but she was also still a bit mad a Cora for being so annoying earlier. She couldn't really focus on the movie and it was starting to piss her off. Didn't help that the alcohol was getting to her now too. Standing up, she grabbed Sally's drink, the tainted drink. "Hey girls, I have an idea to keep things interesting here," She announced. She got their attention and continued with her brilliant idea. "We each take a drink from this glass, the glass we tried to give to Cora. That can be our reparations. Then when she gets back and cheers up a little, we try again... or something."
Tina didn't look too into the idea but Emily got the first word in. "Heh, yeah sure I'm game. This move isn't that good anyway."
Tina sighs in resignation as Beth slams the glass on the table, causing the liquid to splash up and incidently, launch you a short distance into the air. Where do you land?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
