'Sloe Gin'

The clear weather of juniper
darkened into winter.
She fed gin to sloes
and sealed the glass container.

When I unscrewed it
I smelled the disturbed
tart stillness of a bush
rising through the pantry.

When I poured it
it had a cutting edge
and flamed
like Betelgeuse.

I drink to you
in smoke-mirled, blue-
black sloes, bitter
and dependable.

Aster sent me a bottle.

Who wants to go into the woods with me tonight to find Lukashenko?

Or maybe to find out how we die.

uhm like maybe don’t

[princeofcat]

Do I even have to say anything.

[teratophilia]

if i don't go on an adventure soon, i think i really might die !

[arisahn]

i’m in!! [...] what do you think he’s doing out there?

[tristfully]

We'll make sure for certain that 'Didn't Go On Enough Adventures' isn't on your gravestone.

[tristfully]

Why's that?

[tristfully]

You're nothing if not reliable in your foolhardiness.

[tristfully]

I'm not sure. Maybe whistling?

"Cold Gin"

Whoo, alright
My heater's broke and I'm so tired
I need some fuel to build a fire
The girl next door, her lights are out, yeah
The landlord's gone, I'm down and out

Ooh, it's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
Cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together, ow

It's time to leave and get another quart
Around the corner at the liquor store
Haha, the cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again

Ooh, it's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
It's cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together

also, i am always up for death in the woods

[teratophilia]

death! party! death! party!

[tristfully]

Oh no, I certainly hope that's not the way this gin adventure goes.

[arisahn]

you think?? patrice said that was a cult. [...] but i guess mr. l could be in a cult.

[teratophilia]

ahhh i have new adventuring boots i bought over break but haven't really had a chance to break them in yet !!!!

[Viola]

what are you doing monday night 🌝

[tristfully]

[.......] It's possible.

Anyone could be, really.

[princeofcat]

It isn't foolish if you know what you're getting yourself into. Maybe I just want our teacher back.

[tristfully]

It's supposed to snow tonight. I hope they're warm.

[Armani]

I haven't made plans. [.....] Is it cruel to spy on Mr. Crockett?

[tristfully]

I truly do miss him. There was just something about him. An admirable devil-may-care attitude. Aspirational.

[teratophilia]

they are ! they've got good treads on them too.

[Viola]

is it? we're not outing him or trying to do anything to him, we're just being nosy.

[arisahn]

[...] probably not anyone.

[princeofcat]

He knew what he wanted.
It was pudding.
More of us should be that easy.

[tristfully]

Perfect for running away from your fate. Or our former home-ec teacher, if that’s what comes to pass.

[Armani]

Can we promise to keep it between us? I like Mr. Crockett and don’t want to upset him.

But, you’re right, if I don’t get the satisfaction, curiosity might kill me.

And he did impose his horrible brother on me, so.

[tristfully]

That’s exactly right. I just want to talk to him. I need to know if having a true, singular passion is all it’s made out to be.

[tristfully]

Well, what really is a cult, anyway?
