The Drunk Meme

1. Drinking Games. You're at that special level of drunkenness where previously unimagined things start to sound like a good idea, like another drink. It's cool, I know this great game that will inevitably end with everyone involved being totally wasted. You play until... shit, what were the rules again?

2. Unsolicited Advice. Oh man, you suddenly know the solutions to all of life's mysteries. All it took to figure it all out was half a pint of whiskey! It's time to tell all your friends how to fix the problems with their personal lives, whether they want you to or not.

3. Drunk Texting. Frankly, you can't IMAGINE why anyone wouldn't want to hear about how drunk you are right now. If only you could remember where the vowels are on this tiny keyboard. Drawing inspiration from TFLN is encouraged.

4. Tell them How You Really Feel. You lost some of your less important inhibitions three or four drinks ago, and it's time to tell it how it is! Time to hunt down the person you love, or possibly the person you hate, or even just the person you don't ACTUALLY despise, and bare your heart to them in a way that you'll almost definitely regret tomorrow morning.

5. Karaoke. Shot through the heart, and you're to blame! You give love... a bad... something...

6. Terrible Ideas. This is going to be so awesome, guys. I've got the skateboard, and I'm handcuffed to Steve... is the camera rolling? And who's lighting the fireworks?

7. Flirting. While all that booze may not have enhanced your charm, it certainly did wonders for your ego! Time to find all the hottest dudes and/or chicks in this place and make them swoon before your gin-powered charisma.

8. On the Streets. What better way to follow up a good bar run than by drunkenly wandering the streets in the middle of the night? There may be loud, embarrassing singing. There may be puking in the gutter. You may be completely lost, and not sure why that police officer is speaking Italian.

9. Take Me Home Tonight. Yeah, it's time to go home but you're not going alone, time to drag someone home for a hook up. Let's just hope you can get your body to agree or don't fall asleep first

10. The Next Day. All that you took with you from last night's adventures was a blur of jumbled, confusing memories, a lampshade with googly eyes drawn on it taped to your head, and a brutal hangover. What exactly happened here? And who's that sleeping next to you?

"Not to me," Ming pointed out, plainly. "You have surely heard the tales, of how the eternal queen of Numara is a most powerful sorceress? They aren't exaggerations. Besides. I could tell as soon as I saw you that you meant me no harm."

Had she sounded Seth's pride? That hadn't been her intent at all!

Seth sighed, proud shoulders drooping in lighthearted drama.

"I guess you do have a point." She would concede defeat in this matter. "Who am I, a mere peasant in front of the Great Eternal Queen of Numara?" she added with a dramatic flourish of her hand.

Ming chuckled softly and turned to look up the river. It was sweet, in a way, that Seth was concerned for her safety. But what threat did anyone pose to her? Even the Eastern Tribe had never gotten further than a plan to invade Numara.

"It gets narrow ahead," she called out, remembering this length of the river. "But it isn't much beyond that."

Seth nodded in recognition of Ming's advice and slowed the engine once again. She passed the boat through the narrows without any issue, despite her focus becoming more and more distracted by the scene around them.

"So is this place a usual hang out for you?"

"You could say that. I haven't been in some time - it's not always easy to get away. But I used to come here all the time. It's changed, of course, but not much." And it was always beautiful.

Once the thick vegetation began to draw back some the river mouth widened into a large pool at the base of a myriad of towered waterfalls. The cascaded down into one another, cutting into the side of the circular valley as they had for over a thousand years.

The top of the river always took Ming's breath away.

As soon as the trees cleared away, Seth could feel her heart skip in her chest. She cut the engine completely, not taking her eyes off the view. It was nothing short of stunning.

"That's..." That's what? She couldn't find a good word for it.

"Wow."

"That's Numara."

Ming's voice was soft but full of warmth and pride. This was her land and she took great pride in it. Her heart glowed at Seth's impressed reaction, pleased she could show such a world-traveled adventurer something new and spectacular.

"The sunrise over the falls is particularly breath taking."

Seth revved the engine enough for them to make it to shore.

"We gonna be able to stay long enough for that?" She hoped so. The pirate's eyes were still drawn to the falls. Spectacular. That was a good word for it.

She hopped easily out of the skiff, offering a helping hand to Ming.

"You mean stay the night?" Ming asked, raising an eyebrow. "I suppose it depends on how quickly you'd like to return."

Numara could do without her for a single night. She wasn't far, she wasn't alone, and there was nothing in these islands that was any threat to her. She took Seth's hand and stepped out of the skiff, her parasol still over her shoulder.

"And how much you mind sleeping under the stars. I don't think we're outfitted for an overnight trip."

In Seth's mind, it was much more a question as to whether or not Ming would want to stay the night. The pirate had slept under the stars more times than she could count, often in less welcoming conditions.

"I'm up for it if you are." She had never lived by a schedule, had never had such a massive obligation as Ming. "I don't want to overstay my welcome," she added with a smile.

"I suppose we'll see, won't we?" Ming smiled her secretive little smile as she began to walk along the water's edge, looking up to the cascading walls of water above. It really had been too long. The beauty of this place shook the queen every time she came here. And it remained as untouched as ever. Unspoiled beauty, her favorite.

"And still plenty of light. If you're very ambitious, you can even climb up the waterfalls." A teasing note in Ming's voice as she looked over her shoulder at Seth. She didn't doubt for a moment that the pirate woman could scale the entire cliff with ease.

Seth grinned.

"I'm up for that, but I sure don't want to go up there if you don't." Ming was absolutely right- scaling the rock face would be no trouble for Seth, and she had always found climbing fun in a childish sort of way.

Though Seth wasn't sure if she wanted Ming to be going up that high. How drunk was she, still? It was difficult to tell.

"Oh, I'd just watch. Once upon a time I'd climb and jump...not to the top, of course! But it's exhilarating and it isn't as though I could hurt myself." Though Ming hadn't done that in some time. It was funny how time got away from you, when it didn't matter all that much.

"The view is spectacular, though. There's an easier way to reach the top of the falls, from the other side."

The temptation to show off in front of Ming was there- a thought Seth kept happily to herself.

"Well if you're not going to climb then we might as well take the easier route!" It would be better to walk with Ming than climb to the top alone.
