Because the world I come from is like Lord of Flies meets X-Men, mixed with some really creepy Stephen King shit.
There are no adults left. No electricity. And we're just kids, trying not to die. Very few people make it to sixteen. So I'm not thinking I need a life plan anymore. Just a day plan.
Maybe I could play on your set while I'm here. Pretend.
*shakes her head*
No thanks. I'm good. Drinking before. It would have felt important. But seeing seven year olds and kids your own age, drunk. It doesn't seem like the biggest deal ever anymore.
And Orc. He just drinks and drinks because he feels sorry for himself. Because he's like the rock monster from the never ending story now.
Where I come from. What the world is. What I am. it sucks. But it's no reason to feel sorry for myself. I have to make sure, that if we ever find a way out. I have something to get back out to.
One drink probably wouldn't make me hopeless. But why tempt the beast, right?

Maybe Sprite, if you have some?
