Dark Cacao wasn’t sure how the others kept dragging him into these situations. He sat at a crowded table, tankards piling up as Hollyberry Cookie out-drank every challenger that came her way.

He wasn’t a fan of Berry Juice, it was far too sweet and its inebriating effects were simply another downside. Dark Cacao preferred to be sober in case of an emergency. But he has promised the other heroes one drink if they were victorious that day. He was a man of his word.

It only took half the drink for his cheeks to flush and his head to get heavy. Being wasted, he didn’t think twice about drinking whatever was pushed into his hand, and that’s when they really lost him.

“Mm.. too sweet,” He mumbled into the wood of the table, cheek pressed against it. His fingers were cold but his neck was hot. For once, his body was forced to relax. He felt surprisingly light.
