32nd Inning

[freakinblur]

[There's something going on outside 1451 Mitchell today! Two people, specifically Scout and Ema Skye, are sitting at a card table at what looks to be a lemonade stand. Except it's not a lemonade stand. There's a hastily-made, messy sign hanging up front reading "DELICIOUS HOMEMADE LIQ DRINKS, 5 CENTS". There's several pitchers and cups out on the table filled with questionable liquids. There's a very, very strong smell of booze coming from them. And the two manning the table are giggling like maniacs because they're drunk as skunks.

So what do you say, Mayfield? Care to find out what the hell is going on? Do you approach?]

[The scent of booze automatically draws April to them. She was already in a happier than usual mood since the acquirement of a leg brace meant that she could walk without the walking stick and the possibility of alcohol makes her even giddier. So she walks up to the table, looks at the sign and then gets 5 cents out of her pocket and holds it out for them with a grin.]

This is the right amount, right?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

APRIL! Yeah. I mean no. It's on the house. G'head! Have some.

Stop giving away all our product for free, Scout! [POUTS.]

Hello, potential customer!

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Grins at Scout but still places the money on the table at Ema's protest and gives her a grin as well.]

Hi there! [Now if you'll excuse her, she'll pour herself a cup and just gulp that stuff down.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Pleasure doin' business with ya, toots!

[SORRY EMA. Scout's gonna keep trying to give free booze away to the girls.

As for the booze, it's a gamble as every batch was different. This one is really, REALLY strong.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Man, Scout, they're not even going to break even as it is. In part because they KEEP DRINKING IT.]

So, whadduya think? [Smiles and waits expectantly.]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[April stops drinking about halfway, feeling slightly tipsy and grinning like an idiot.]

This is really good! Way better than the weak stuff here! [Keeps drinking, but not as fast.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

You betcha! We're goin' inta business! All the stuff here is such crap. Our stuff is awesome.

[He flashes you his best smile! Except not because he's totally blitzed.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Scientifically awesome!

I'm glad you like it, customer! [Yeah, Ema has no idea what your name is, April, even though Scout screamed it not even two minutes ago.]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[At least you aren't calling her a random month, like August! But April doesn't care, since you're both drunk of your faces and she makes a muffled sound of agreement as she keeps drinking and then places the now empty cup on the table.]

...Is it alright if I try some of the other stuff?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Sure! We got lots. Kinda. Yeah. Pretty good amount. We drank some though.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We had to make sure our product was good to go, you know~ Plus, we really really really needed drinks. This place is messed up. [VERY SERIOUS NOD.]

So here, try this one! [Gleefully hands her a cup of something else. It's significantly less delicious, although just as potent as the first.]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Taking the cup with a grin and a "Thanks", she slowly gulped it down. The taste kinda sucked, but at least it was strong.]

This is pretty strong too! [Keeps on drinking.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

At Scout & Skye Brewery, we make only tha best.

[He turns to Ema, giggling.]

Oh man, we outta, like, get bottles wit' that on it. That is genius.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

It's the power of science!

[Turns to her business partner.] It is! We should write that down! [She starts going through the stuff sitting behind the card table, looking for a pad and paper.]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[April smiles behind her cup at them as she continues drinking; this was strong stuff and she was starting to feel a bit buzzed. It was only a question of what the stuff in the other pitchers is like...]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[She's free to try! There's all different "flavors", being that they tried with with different fruits and juices. Some are really strong and some are much weaker.]

Man. Who ever thought science made such awesome stuff.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

I told you science was amazing! [Ema playfully punches his arm, almost missing it.]

Would you like another cup~? We used every different type of juice we could find, so we have a variety!

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Finishes the drink and places the now empty cup on the table, feeling kinda buzzed. April nods at Ema's question.]

Yeah, sure!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Scout pours you something from another pitcher.]

That's the spirit! Bottom's up! [He's pouring himself one too.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, don't leave me out! [Ema holds out a cup for him to fill. She wants to drink more, too!]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[April takes the cup from Scout and watches the both of them with an amused grin, before taking a gulp from her own drink.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He pours Ema a drink too. Then he hold up his own cup for a toast.]

A toast! To... uh... to booze!

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

To booze! [Holds up her own cup, nearly spilling some in the process.]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[April manages to stop mid gulp and holds up her cup as well.] To booze! [Then goes back to gulping it down.]
