Lovelace paused.
"A-Az, ol' buddy, ol' pal. My pal Mister Atrophy here is not... used to... us."
"Human? Oh, right. He reminds me... of the guinea pig."
"Az, aw, no, no."
Moé pouted indignantly.
"Uncle Azrael, don't you dare treat him like my grandfather!"
"Awwwww,I never harmed my brother-in-law."
"You gave him psychological scars! You subjected him to visions of a C'thulhu, and almost took him to the... the..."
"The what?"
"The... cirque."

Caleb did not want to be the center of discussion at the time. But, he knew that he could not end it.

Azrael pouted.
"I would never have fed him hallucinogenic drugs through tubes!"
In another seat was now an adult woman, coming form a portal with a bunch of clock-symbols around it. She resembled Moé, but had straight, long black hair and Valentine's blood red eyes. She was wearing what appeared to be a tap dancing uniform.
"You guys never invited me! It's really angering-er... something. I don't even know Moé much, and Val wants to hog her all to herself."
She saw Caleb and Taro, and bowed.
"My name is Mahi-Mahi Exodus Montblanc-Methuselah-Kura."
[[that's a mouthful... and she transferred her memories, she doesn't recognize Caleb.]]
She pointed to Moé.
"Ohhhh! That's my brown corset! I like being remembered, since I died in this time... era... thing. I'm four centuries dead in this timeline!"
[[Time travel, making everything more confusing!! |D;;]]

((Caleb:Liquor, now.))
Caleb pointed the mask at his older student. "...I remember your name, but my question is why are you here?"

[[Moé: Share some with me, too. How would you feel if a family member, long dead, just came up and went 'HI! :B'?]]
Mahi then felt a click in her memory.
"Oh! I... think I remember you. Uhh, well, I died right after my human husband did, at only 100 years of age. But I wanted to know what happened to my family. I opted for time travel!"
She went over to Azrael.
"Gimme a hug, bro-in-law!"
"I'll chop your arms off."
She gave a nervous laugh, and then took Val's former position, of resting her elbows on Moé's head.
"Huh?"
She felt through Moé's hair.
"Oooooh! So shiny and curly!"
"It's wavy, grandma."
"I'm a superheroine, I could torment you in the name of justice!"
"Okay, grandma."
"Gawd, you're no fun!!"

Caleb was going to ask if there was any good liquor, but though twice that it might be distilled with, distasteful things. His let his mind wander itself, daydreaming for nothing.

Moé took some strong liquor out off a portal, she looked weary as well.
"From Montblanc's stash. Highest quality."
She poured them both some, and, chugging it down quickly, her head hit the table with a loud thunk.
Valentine looked at her.
"What?! The daughter of two hedonistic chain-alcholics can't hold her booze?!"
[[Oh dear. This is where the 'can't drink a shot without becoming heavily intoxicated' thing comes in.]]

Caleb took the shot, and hit it back on the table. Pouring another shot and repeated the process 2, 3 more times. At least now, he felt somewhat better.

While Valentine and Reynard urged Caleb on with cheers, Moé slumped upwards somewhat. Her eyes had an odd glaze in them, but her voice was the same.
"M-My heaaad huuuurts."
Mahi gave out a loud whooping noise.
"I shall exorcise the demons of drunkeness!!"
Moé pouted.
"Touuuuch me, it'll be a paaaaraduuuuck."
Valentinee was desperately trying not to laugh.
"Paradox."
"Paraaaaduuuuck. Makes people gooooo 'quack'."
[[Hahahah what?]]

Caleb had drunken about of the bottle and continued to take shots. He was swaying slightly, and hit the glass onto the table with more force. "What proof is this?"

Lycoris finally came out into the dining room.
"Ohhhh?"
[[Oh, s**t.]]
Lycoris slithered next to Moé, going under the table, and unbuttoned some of the buttons on her shirt. She slinked away, unnoticed.
Valentine giggled.
"90% ABV. Oooh, heavily distilled sherry. That's some powerful stuff...! No wonder Montblanc had it. One of the things he's god of is alcohol, after all..."
Moé blushed, and rested her head on Caleb's shoulder, still half-awake.

Caleb finished his current shot. "Yes!" Then threw the shot glass to the opposite wall, shattering on impact.

Moé looked up at him.
"Siiiir, what's wroooong?"
Marion paused.
"I have a migraine... Come on, Lovelace..."
She and Lovelace left.
Mahi squinted, in some sort of pain, and staggered upwards, to get into a portal.
"There's... ringing... in my ears."
Reynard nodded, and left in a portal.
"I... have to turn in... too..."
The jiangshi opened a portal.
"My lady... I sense a disturbance..."
Robin dragged Taro through as well, to portal back to the courtyard.
Azrael knew something was wrong, and then left without saying anything, taking the reluctant Valentine with him, with Lycoris going to safety by her own means.
The house was silent, save for Moé and Caleb.
[[hmmm...?]]

"We need to leave!" Caleb said, looking at her. "It would be a troublesome to stay." He came to his feet, swaying.

Moé then felt transfixed.
"Spring is coming..."
She instantly snapped out of her stupor, as if magically, and began to steadily walk towards the main door of the house, taking the bottle of booze with her.
"I... must... dance with Kokopelli..."
