Hang out with Au Revoir, enjoying her hobby (Repeatable) (Time -1)

You went to meet with Au Revoir for a little bonding time; you didn't think you'd learn much this way, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to just hang out with her a bit. Probably. Actually, it could be harmful in a number of ways. {if Weakness for Booze = 1}Still, you couldn't help remembering how many different beers, ales, brews, wines, and more she had behind that in-office bar of hers... It might be worth braving the beast to get another shot at that.{endif}

"Aaaah, you smelled the fragrance of Au Revoir's latest spirits and came to partake, oui, New Ciao? Or did you smell Au Revoir's perfume?"

You didn't have the heart to tell Au Revoir that after what must have been hours of muscle training, there wasn't a trace of the girl's perfume left. It had been completely obliterated by the smell of her sweat. Instead, you just told her you thought you'd like to share a drink.

"Well, well! My saloon is always open to you! Let's see what is on tap today..." Despite the words "saloon" and "tap," there really wasn't anything so fancy... it was just a bar, some bar-stools, and a large number of bottles, seemingly arranged at random with no rhyme or reason. The girl disappeared below her counter for a moment, then came back out holding a fresh bottle. "Does this suit you, handler?"

{if Hang Out with Au Revoir >= 3}The drink was... your favorite! Nothing rare, but you'd gotten addicted to the stuff back in England. You must have told her it was your favorite at some point, when you were drunk. The girl grinned and rubbed the bottle against her cheek affectionately. "You like? You are always drinking Au Revoir's fire and brimstone drinks, I figure the least we can do is enjoy yours once in a while!"

You appreciated the surprisingly thoughtful gesture.

...

Four or five glasses later, it wasn't any better than getting drunk on her own stuff, of course. Moderation always seemed to fly out the window when this agent was involved. Still, you'd enjoyed the company... even if you were pretty sure you were going to black out when you got back to mission control.{elseif Hang Out with Au Revoir = 2}"Today, we drink champagne! Do not worry, we needn't chug the whole bottle. This is merely a toast, to friendship! It is an expensive bottle that one can only drink with a friend, oui? Other Girls are too chicken to join me!"

That sounded a little scary, but if it was just one celebratory glass of champagne, how bad could it be?

...

Moments later, as you tapped your glass to Au Revoir's so hard that both shattered, sending glass and champagne together pouring down each of your arms, you reflected that you and she had both lost count of your number of drinks. Wordlessly, sensing danger, you roze to your feet dizzily and ignored the big girl's laughter, as you stumbled your way back to mission control...{elseif Hang Out with Au Revoir = 1}Her choice was a Russian vodka with a name you couldn't read, much less pronounce. After speaking its name perfectly, Au Revoir readied two glasses and began to decanter over the top, grinning in her challenging way the whole time. "Do not worry, New Ciao! It is not like the Good Stuff we drank earlier. Very, very strong, but not the strongest. You can handle it! He he he..."

You wondered about that... In the end, while you couldn't match her number of drinks, at least you didn't black out this time.

"Oooh! You hold your drink better than anyone here, save Au Revoir! I must acknowledge your worthiness! Come by again some other time if you want to try another. It will be my pleasure to tend the bar!"

You gave her a goofy two finger salute, then stumbled off drunkenly towards Mission Control. You might need a little nap before you did anything else...{endif}
