A scientific experiment of the highest order is in progress. One which includes raspberry fudge, brie and crackers, and several different wines. Autor plans to get tipsy today, and he'll do it in style.

He'll also do it with help. Autor endures light ribbing by Sunshine, who has promised to stay with him and make sure he doesn't do anything foolish while even slightly inebriated--a serious concern of his, especially with a sprained ankle. She's keeping to tea today, just in case.

Autor raises a glass, his cheeks already tingling. He swirls the wine, as he has seen done before. Then he holds it up to his nose and takes a deep breath. "Ah, yes. This clean, buttery wine has a heady bouquet with oak notes, and a spicy aroma of vanilla and currant," he says, and takes a sip. "Sadly, it is broad--it has a full body aroma, but lacks any finesse to its taste."

Rae grins, sipping her tea. "Try harder not to sound like you memorized the book, Autor."

[OOC: Two pups, two muns! All threads will come after Rae and Autor's, when the boy is already tipsy.]

Rae is there for what passes for moral support, grinning at her friend.

"So long as you've done your math right, you shouldn't need me to carry you upstairs when the experiment's through, but as with any dangerous venture, better safe than sorry," Rae smiles, taking a sip of her tea - a mild green with mint and apples.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter, coming past quite coincidentally, smiles quite broadly when he sees what they are doing.

Bonnie raises her eyebrows slightly, nods at Rae and settles next to Autor with a beer.

"You plannin' ter put yer results on a graph when yer done?" she asks, grinning at him.

Gavroche shows up, eyeing them in amusement.

"Doing a controlled experiment?"

It's not that Mirai doesn't want to be in the main bar. It might be. There's just a certain appeal to living the life you know. And when most of your life has been spent up in one room, you grow accustomed to a certain kind of living.

So don't mind the fact that she's walking by with a couple of grocery bags of food. It's more for emergencies than anything else.

Joly generally attends to the sound of people getting happily drunk. For very good reasons, like it'll probably be funny, and also possibly injurious to someone. In his experience, usually both.

...It's Autor.

Definitely funny and possibly injurious then. He makes his way over.

"Running an experiment?"

And a lady he hasn't met. He bows. "Mademoiselle. Is this an open experiment, then, or have you nobly volunteered to be the sober observer?"

Joly is aware he's a nerd. He's sometimes not aware just how much so.

"Rae, are you corrupting this young man?" Jay grins teasingly, stealing a cracker.

"What's going on here?"

"What's the occasion?" Asami asks, stopping for a moment as she passes their table.

"Dude," Yugo says, wandering over, glancing between Autor and Sunshine, and then at the glass in Autor's hand. "... Are you drinking wine, dude? When'd that happen?"

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Phoenix stops sulking to peer interestedly out through Yugo's eyes, because hey, tipsy Autor, that one is new.
