[hypoxic]

[ drugged by demons really should have been something they planned on. And yet, things happened. It was intense, beyond the limits of their mortal bodies. Knowing that doesn't make it easier. ]

My apologies for not checking in with you sooner. I'm in one piece. Are you?

[deaddrop]

All in one piece. Nothing hurt except my pride.

Though I think I owe you an apology.

[hypoxic]

You don't.

You weren't in control.

[Parts of the evening are foggy, but that's part of how he knows it wasn't her.]

[deaddrop]

Does that make a difference?

It was my idea.

[hypoxic]

It's a reasonable idea. Made sense. I could've said no.

[deaddrop]

But it was my idea and it had consequences. I'd like to apologize for it.

[hypoxic]

[He'll accept that, but pause for a longer moment.]

Do you remember everything we did?

[deaddrop]

I remember dancing. Why?

[hypoxic]

I think I did more than that.

But I'm not sure who with.

[deaddrop]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[She's not surprised, but she is sorry.]

I don't think it was me. Last I remember was sending you back to the bar when you couldn't keep up.

[hypoxic]

They drugged us.

[It should be outrageous]

[deaddrop]

I noticed that.

Are you okay?

[hypoxic]

Going to have to be.

[deaddrop]

Not if you don't want to be.

You think it was one of the demons?

[hypoxic]

Maybe. They seemed eager to pull us out of ourselves.

[deaddrop]

Suppose it doesn't do much good guessing.

Did you get back down to the basement?

[hypoxic]

Haven't yet.

[He'd forgotten about the basement altogether.]

Still a bit disorientated.

[deaddrop]

You've had enough on your plate.

[hypoxic]

I think my girlfriend is here. Don't know when she might've arrived.

[deaddrop]

That's got to be comforting, even if you'd rather she weren't here.

[hypoxic]

It's complicated.

[deaddrop]

Want to talk about it?

[hypoxic]

You'd listen?

[deaddrop]

I offered, didn't I?

[hypoxic]

You did. I'm just not used to it.

You don't always take the time out.

[ He certainly sounds familiar even though they've only spoken a few times. ]
