[Video] Never trust a Scot's ale

[whitejediknight]

[Creedy gives the camera a crooked grin, patting his hand almost affectionately on the keg beside him.]

Conrad, No offense on ya, mate. Your alcohol is well and fine for a tame man's tastes, but this here beauty is damn near impossible to beat. I think I'll be callin' it Northumberland Dragonsbreath. Finest... well... don't rightly have a  type of alcohol to call it, but it'll certainly put a dimmer on anythin' you've 'ad before it. Me 'n Quinn 'ave been drinking my special black lable for years and we're still standin'. Well. He is. I'm still not so sure about the whole livin thing.

Well. It could use another week, but here's to you, New Moore. Wherever the fuck this is and whoever is responsible for it. Appreciate the not bein' dead bit.

[He taps out a fifth a glass and takes a gulp. To his credit, the grimace is only barely visible a second when it burns the whole way down and he manages to hold his cough, even if it sounds in the slight rasp his voice takes on.]

Doesn' get better than this.

[Do not take his word for it. Seriously. For your own safety. In the functioning world this deadly spirit is called Pruno or prison wine. It's made of moldy fruit and ketchup and distilled to near 160% proof in a manner of days. Two weeks to prime. It will burn you the whole way down and sink in hard and fast. But if you're clever and tip it back fast enough to keep it from touching your throat too much, or your tongue, you might avoid the taste and the fire that follows it.]

Now all I need is a steel barrel.

[And another five or so days to age it. But who's counting, really?]

[Connor is eyeing the feed suspiciously. Very suspiciously.]

What's in that?

[Video] /adopts Connor too

[whitejediknight]

[Creedy glances at his glass a moment and then grins with a squint at Connor]

The usual. Fruit. [Moldy] Bread. ['Yeast'. Possibly also moldy.] Sweetener. [From ketchup packets and containers.]

[Video] yesss

[waywardboy]

That sounds...

[He frowns, puzzled.

Clearly, he knows nothing about drinking.]

Strange.

[Video] Come watch Creedy and Quinn re-enact the scene from SW with luke & his father as knights.

[whitejediknight]

It is, that. Don' you worry too much about it. It's harsh stuff, by all accounts.

'Aven't really ever claimed to know what I was doin, but when life gives you [Rotten] lemons, or however that sayin' went.

[Video] XD

[waywardboy]

There's a saying about lemons?

[What?]

Oh. Wait. It means you make the best of something, right?

[whitejediknight]

That about sums it up.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

[He actually seems a little bit proud of himself for placing that reference.]

I get it. That's good, then. You're doing the best you can with what you have.

[Video] Sirius adopted him first!

[alwaysimpure]

...might be too strong for you.

[Video] you guys can have joint custody!

[waywardboy]

What is it, anyway?

[Video] ...possibly.

[alwaysimpure]

Haven't tried it, yet, but my guess is that it burns better than it drinks.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

Why would anything want to drink something like that?

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

Lack of other options, mostly.

Or maybe on a dare.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

You'd have to be pretty stupid to take that dare if it's really as vile as you're making it sound.

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

True.

I'll tell you if it actually is that vile after I tried it.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

Did he dare you?

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

I kind of dared myself.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

I didn't think dares worked that way.

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

It's a pretty individual thing.

Anyway, Connor, you do as I say, not as I do!

[Video]

[waywardboy]

[He looks confused -- then immediately shifts to defensive.]

Hey, I don't take orders, Sirius.

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

Good, because I don't give any.

Just advice: Don't drink anything drunk Scots offer you.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

... okay. That should be easy enough to remember.

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

I'd think so. Do you drink alcohol at all?

[What with being...a vampire? Or something?]

[Video]

[waywardboy]

I've never tried it. It smells pretty foul.

[Video]

[alwaysimpure]

Good lad. Stay away from it, keep your mind clear.

[Video]

[waywardboy]

[He smiles grimly.]

Yeah. A hunter always needs his senses to be at their best.
