"What? You're the one who said I dropped something," [i]Valentine said in a confused tone, looking back at JT.[/i]

-
[i]"Oh, that's a figure of speech."[/i]
-
"Eh?" [i]Valentine was once again clueless.[/i] "What's it mean?"
-
[i]"Basically I'm asking what drugs you used."[/i]
-
"Opium I stole from some Chinese merchant," [i]Valentine said, yawning.[/i] "Like I said, I ran out a while back."
-
[i]"Is that shit legal up there?"[/i]
-
"No." [i]He said it like it was common knowledge, and it was.[/i]
-
[i]JT wasn't one who possessed common knowledge or had ever been to China, so he simply replied with a shrug. "Hey, want a drink?" [/i]
-
"Sure," [i]Valentine replied.[/i]
-
[i]JT reached into his pocket and pulled out a flask full of whiskey. He uncapped it and gave it a quick sniff to determine how strong it was as he had forgotten, and after coming to the realization it was only mildly strong, he slid it over to Valentine. [/i]
-
[i]Valentine grunted a sound of thanks, and downed the whiskey. He didn't take sips, just drank it all. He set the flask down on the table with a sigh, and shook his head a little.[/i] "Not bad," [i]He commented.[/i]
-
[i]"I take it you're a drinker?"[/i]
-
"The hell's a drinker? This is just flavored water, right?"
-
[i]"No, alcohol."[/i]
-
"What's an alcohol?"
-
[i]"A drink that makes you black out if you drink too much."[/i]
-
"Can I have more?"
-
[i]"Depends. Do you want to black out?" [/i] [spoiler]You ever play Skyrim? Because of Val gets drunk, I'm going full [i]A Night To Remember[/i] on the situation. [/spoiler]
-
"Yes."[spoiler]Nop[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]It's pretty much just fantasy The Hangover. [/spoiler] [i]JT pulled out another five flasks because alcoholism and slid each to Valentine. [/i]
-
[spoiler]Still dunno.[/spoiler][i]Valentine downed a second one, and was getting tipsy. A third one, and he started hallucinating, but instead of the normal hallucinations he got from schizophrenia, they were a hella lot stranger.[/i] "Eyy... this is pretty cool...."
-
[spoiler]Just have him black out, I'll guide you along a small quest. You'll love this. [/spoiler] [i]JT just grinned, drinking from his own flask. [/i]
-
[i]A third whiskey flask was downed. Then a fourth. Then a fifth. By that point, Valentine was drunker than the writer's dad on Saturday night.[/i] "Damn beetles eatin my drugs," [i]Valentine groaned.[/i]
-
[i]JT grinned and pulled a sixth flask. Straight rum, no chaser, still cold from the flask's cold steel. He slid it to Valentine. [/i]
-
[i]Valentine downed it, and proceeded to pass out.[/i]
-
[i]Valentine awoke surrounded by rats, assorted jars of piss, and various strange looking dogs. He was in the streets of Dojoville, causing a traffic jam. [/i]
