Uuuuuuungh...

[Sette slowly pulls herself upright, wearing a disheveled version her pirate outfit. The shirt is on backwards and the trousers aren't done up at all so that they make a quickly-caught dash at freedom as she stands up, and her eyepatch seems to be off doing its own thing somewhere. As is the fancy cutlass Fionna made for her. But Sette isn't worried about that. The focus of her attention right now is the jackhammer headache making her life hell, or possibly how goddamn bright the sun is. The bastard.]

I feel like...like Baelar's spare set o' balls, cut off an' dried in the sun.

[She manages to pry one of her hands away from her throbbing temples, and holds up her shirt to give it a sniff. She immediately recoils in disgust.]

Twins, how much did I quaff down last night? Shirt reeks o' booze...gonna need to find a change o' clothing.

[She stands up fully, and instantly regrets it. She wavers in place for a moment, lights dancing in her vision, and then she bends over and throws up everything in her stomach. Yes, ladies and...other ladies. Sette is pretty badly hung over from the big party.]

[swarmoflies]

Me sniffer can usually tell.

[grandtheftmecha]

I would think it'd be harder to tell with pills.

[swarmoflies]

I dunno, me sniffer's really good.

[grandtheftmecha]

Eh... hell with it. Not my fault if you get sick, but it can't be much worse than this.

Be right back.

[ Thankfully she always keeps spare dirt around. ]

[swarmoflies]

You do that. I'll just be over here, sufferin'. No rush or anything.

[Not even a brutal hangover would quell her need to talk constantly and obnoxiously.]

[grandtheftmecha]

[ And lo, Katina went, and returned, with two small pills in hand. ]

Have you ever even taken pills?

[swarmoflies]

Course I have.

[She grabs them from Katina's hand, and...chews on them. Her eyes bug out as a truly awful taste fills her mouth.]

[grandtheftmecha]

No you haven't.

[ She holds the coffee out to Sette. ]

Or else you'd have known that you swallow them whole.

[swarmoflies]

[Sette grabs the coffee and quickly chugs a mouthful of it to get this awful tasting crap out of her mouth. And then another. And then another, because the powder is still between her teeth and she can taste it. Then she starts coughing, as if trying to expel it from her mouth that way.]

The hell was...that? You tryin' ta kill me?

[grandtheftmecha]

The best medicine always tastes bitter, especially if you chew on it instead of swallowing it.

[swarmoflies]

You daft? I'd choke!

[grandtheftmecha]

Nah. It's small enough and smooth enough that you can get it down pretty easily with a drink.

[swarmoflies]

[Sette looks like she doesn't quite believe you there.]

Why's it taste so gross anyway? How hard can it be to make somethin' what heals you and tastes sweet?

[grandtheftmecha]

Doesn't matter if you're just gonna swallow it.

[swarmoflies]

Still goin' in me mouth.

[grandtheftmecha]

You've probably swallowed bigger things forgetting to chew.

[swarmoflies]

I don't never forget to chew. Getting these chompers were too big a pain int he ass to let'em go to waste.

It is hard to not have Katina comment on the double negative.

[grandtheftmecha]

A pain in the ass to get? What, those didn't just grow in on you?

[swarmoflies]

Nope! Did 'em meself.

[With a file. Hurt like hell.]

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Katina doesn't even want to think about that. ]

Did you steal them from a bear or something? Maybe a shark?

[swarmoflies]

They're lion teeth. But naw, like I said, I did 'em meself. Went through two files.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Okay, even Katina shudders a little at that. ]

Wow, reevaluation: you're fucking hardcore.

[swarmoflies]

[Sette beams - and not just because her headache is starting to fade a bit, between the aspirin and the coffee. Being hardcore was the point of filing her teeth. A person of her size, in her circumstances, needed to look as impressive as she could.]

Damn straight. Don't get no ideas 'bout the tail or sniffer, though. Those are all-natural.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ This still tells Katina nothing about what this girl is... ]

The teeth suit you pretty well, then.

...you seem like you're feeling a lot better.

[swarmoflies]

[She nods. And doesn't instantly regret it, which is a nice change.]

Whatever's in that foul-tastin' crap must be working. I don't feel quite so trampled no more.
