Right, so. Has anyone else noticed any changes to their homes? Other than the random shop and the sudden appearance of the astral plane, that is.

For example, I have a big chunk of 2006 sitting in the middle of my 1973. Yuyuko and Fumie have both noticed differences in how someone they know behaves. [and Gene Hunt now has sparkly blood, but we're just not going to mention that]

[Incidentally, he is speaking a bit thickly, as he has a broken nose.]

[snorts - and hey, it doesn't hurt to do that, lucky Sam]

He can hardly see straight when he's hammered, let along punch straight. 'course, he has high tolerance, and I'd wager that he constantly has more alcohol content in his blood than is legal if you're driving, but it isn't like that.

[lamb_of_gold]

...The man is perpetually intoxicated then...?

[didorothy]

No. Well, yes. ... He bleeds whisky.

[lamb_of_gold]

*Have one of the most horrified/slightly disgusted stares Sam might have ever seen on someone*
...I hope you don't mean that literally.

[didorothy]

[slightly amused by this, to be honest] Usually, I don't mean literally.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well that's a relief, albeit a small one. Still, I don't understand the allure in alcohol at all.

[didorothy]

It helps.

[lamb_of_gold]

What could getting inebriated help with, except giving other people blackmail fodder?
*someone is now GENUINELY curious*

[didorothy]

It helps you get by.

[lamb_of_gold]

Again, forgive me if I sound rude, but I've never touched a drop and I've "gotten by" fine....though I suppose our circumstances are quite different....

[didorothy]

It helps you get by in a lot of ways. Everyone in Gene's world drinks. It's madness not to.

[lamb_of_gold]

And what about yours? I get the feeling your world and Gene's aren't quite the same...

[didorothy]

I'm from a much younger generation.

[lamb_of_gold]

You didn't answer the question, Sam.

[didorothy]

We're both in Manchester, 1973. It's the same world. Well, except that bit of 2006 that wasn't there before.
