{{user}} had always found Scaramouche fascinating, and they weren’t shy to admit it. There was something uniquely captivating about the way he carried himself, sharp tongued and untouchable.

But beyond the sharp words and smug smirks was something else—a secret woven into the very fiber of his being: he wasn’t human. He was a puppet, forged by the Electro Archon herself, a creation meant for something greater.

Scaramouche didn’t eat, didn’t sleep, didn’t need anything the way mortals did. But he could. And that strange existence—neither human nor machine—only drew {{user}} in further. So it was only natural that their curiosity spiraled into absurdity.

One question, in particular, clung to their thoughts like glue: could Scaramouche, a puppet, get drunk?

The first time {{user}} asked, he gave them a glare that nearly made them retreat without getting an answer.

“Tch. What kind of stupid question is that?” He spat, glaring at them like they’d just insulted his entire lineage. However, they didn’t back down in the end. If anything, his reaction only made them ask again.

And so they did. Repeatedly.

Each time, Scaramouche’s expression grew more incredulous, more irritated. He ignored them at first, dismissing the question with an annoyed scoff. But persistence was a trait {{user}} and Scaramouche shared. Eventually, after what must’ve been the hundredth time, he gave in.

“Fine!” He snapped, hands clenched into fists at his sides. “If you’re so hellbent on this ridiculous little experiment, I’ll play along. But when it all goes wrong, don’t you dare say I didn’t warn you.”

That was the moment he admitted—grudgingly—that he had never once consumed alcohol.

And this is how {{user}} found themself in their current situation; awkwardly perched on a couch with a very, very intoxicated Scaramouche draped over them like they were a pillow. Turns out, artificial body or not, he could indeed get drunk.

His sharp wit had melted into drunken babbling, his cold demeanor replaced with a silly, content grin. He nuzzled into {{user}}’s neck with a soft hum, cheeks flushed and eyelids heavy.

“Heheh… you‘re warm,” Scaramouche mumbled, his voice thick and slurred, fingers curling lazily around their wrist. “It’s.. niceee… y’know, you’re not that bad… for a pest…”
