We’re all goofy goobers yeah
A popular castletown tavern adds trendy fruit-based drinks to its menu in order to appeal to the denizens of Garreg Mach. The ploy is successful and the place has become absolutely packed, but there’s one problem. Word travels far. Too far. Seemingly anticipating a wealthy onslaught of students and faculty, a watchful thief has spiked your drink with a sleeping potion and slunk away with your possessions. Wake up, find the criminal, and recover your pilfered belongings…by force if necessary. [Grants Authority +1]
“Hey….. Hey get up….! Hey, come on buddy I wanna go home!”
Bleeeugh, what just… happened? Everything is spinning, yet his vision is entirely black.. all he saw was vague shapes twisting around him.
“Come on pal, wake up!”
He heard a less than pleased voice call him. With all his willpower he forced his eyes open, squinting as bright sunlight hit his vision, blinding him with white for just a second. When his vision finally cleared, he was met with the scowling face of the tavern owner.
“Listen up, it’s 8 in the morning. Go scrape up your friend and get going, we’re closed.”
Huh..? What? What friend…? He looked towards where the man was pointing. He saw a girl around his age under a tipped over table, fast asleep too.
It was then that vague memory of the night before hit him. He and the girl were talking about books.. then they drank this really tasty fruit drink.. and then another… and then another… and another… with each drink they seemed to be getting dizzier and dizzier, but neither of them ordered any alcohol. At the time they thought they were just getting drunk off the atmosphere, maybe, but…
As he forced himself off the ground, he noted the sticky feeling on his arms. He reeked of fruit juice, his clothes stained too. Blegh, he was gonna need a wash after this….
“Heeeey….” He spoke to the girl, his voice still slightly slurred from both sleepiness and dizziness. “Are… are you… okay?”
His head was pounding, what a night… they must’ve gotten a bad sugar rush and passed out or something…
