[But honestly, at a certain point, they've just been picking up weirdos for the past month or so the Nein has been together. Maybe that's just what happens when you become a force of nature made up of complete assholes trying to do right by the world.]
It's not exactly something you can turn off. I've tried. A lot. Alcohol helps, a little.
[Mostly it helps her stop caring about it, honestly.]
[ Probably because she's sixteen. But, in Yoshiko's mind, considering that this place might not even have things like 'a legal drinking age' in the first place, there's nothing wrong with having a drink or two. ]
[Nott immediately puts up her hands to placate Yoshiko, to try and help her feel less embarrassed.]
No, it's okay! You're right! One of my best friends is the same way!
[How Jester manages to only buy milk every time they go to a bar or tavern is beyond Nott, whose entire bloodstream has at this point been replaced by pure alcohol probably.]
Do you... want to try to get drunk? I can watch you.
[Yes, let the drunk supervise the drunk. That's probably an expression somewhere in the world.]
I don't know if "acquired taste" is the same thing as just getting used to it, but you do get used to it. Especially if you drink it every day before bed. And as soon as you get up. And a little in between, you know, for nerves. A lot of nerves.

Do you think it'll work if someone's never gotten drunk before?
no subject

Yeah, sure. If I get drunk, then it's best that I get drunk with someone who knows what they're doing.

Nott pulls out her infinite flask and offers it to Yoshiko.]
This is perfect for getting drunk. It's the best kind of whiskey, and it never runs out.
no subject
...and then just starts fucking choking on it.
Don't mind Yoshiko, she's just coughing and spluttering right now because what the hell, that tastes awful. ]
no subject
It's okay. That's how you know it's working.
no subject
I'm sure this is just...erm, an acquired taste or something.
[ that's gotta be the only explanation she can think of. ]

Can't I...erm, do breathing exercises instead?
