This weekend in family news, I don't know how Holly finds out about these things but apparently my brother went to a duchess's house party and was gonna just not tell us about it.

Also we're apparently getting a whole family portrait done because someone has to be a thoughtful adult who wins at birthday presents.

Maybe I'll give him my plot and use all the veg he grows for wishes.

That must be the first step to getting invited to the parties.

[corriespondence]

I'm sure it helps but my brother must've found another way. He's not nearly adventurous enough to be up on that roof in the first place.

[valerianroot]

Well, if you figure it out, let me know. I wouldn't mind having a wealthy patroness.

[corriespondence]

Shouldn't you be making a bucketload of money yourself by now after playing Quid for so long?

[valerianroot]

Why, what are you making?

[corriespondence]

[...] I mean, plenty for now, cause I'm not like a lush or something.

[valerianroot]

Well, I am a lush, and my lifestyle has already driven me to live here.

[corriespondence]

That's some lushing.

[valerianroot]

On the bright side, die bibliothek has a seemingly never-ending supply of whiskey for us. It's really cut down on my lifestyle costs.

[corriespondence]

Dyou ever try it when things went all pickly a few weeks back?

[valerianroot]

I did, and it was terrible. Worse than you're imagining, somehow.

[corriespondence]

Fantastic.

[highlygrifted]

What?

[valerianroot]

Check under the bar.

[highlygrifted]

Fucking mint. Cheers mate!

[valerianroot]

Pace yourself. It's strong.

[highlygrifted]

Strong enough to dilute, would you say?

[valerianroot]

I never do, but I've heard some wisdom that a few drops of water might improve the taste.

[highlygrifted]

Sure, yeah no I’ve heard that too.

So, there’s always just a bottle here?

[valerianroot]

Sometimes you have to dig around for it, but I've never been left wanting.
