ubi libertas, ibi patria;

That’s normal in my place, what’s special is elections. But it’s over, it’s over, if you know who is my boss I’m gonna cut off his fucking balls. I won’t say it because I bet it’s bad luck.

I don’t want your shitty coffee, I want the booze dammit. You gotta have some around here somewhere? And it is not, not even for you I bet. 

You’re not gonna say it are you, you’re not gonna say what’s bothering you, right? You can’t hide forever though, it’s too much. ‘Sides no one drinks like that if they’re having a nice night, no one.

Oh! Elections-- ain’t that a cursed word, hm?

[She laughs and takes the bottle, but rather than offering it to her guest she prefers to pour more for herself in her mug.]

Oh no, it’s a shit night. Shit shit shit shit!

But it don’t matter since whatever the new government will be won’t do shit and we’re gonna hate ‘em anyway eventually.

-He pauses- So what the fuck is wrong with you? And give me some dammit.

... let me guess-- political breakdown blues got’cha?

[Finally she stops pouring, setting the bottle down before downing the coffee-whiskey concoction she just created. It tastes bitter, burning, but she swallows it down without so much as a gag.]

I’m out of coffee, for one. But that’s fine, because this is a nice night. An awfully nice night! So nice I don’t even know what to make of it, ‘cause I reckon nothin’s makin’ all that much sense anymore--

[Pauses, pours more whiskey.]

[Watch her pour more whiskey into her coffee mug.]

“Tonight’s an awfully nice night, ain’t it?”

I guess you’ve got a point, maybe we’ll win something in hockey. We’re pretty great in that. Maybe in skiing or luge too, but it’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll do great. I mean you Americans always do.

Which sports are you interested in? 

Then I reckon I oughta wish you good luck, don’t I? Like what good sportsfolk do. But you’re right, I don’t got much to worry about here-- my athletes will be fine! I’m sure of it, and awfully proud of ‘em too regardless of how things be.

Don’t you always? I’m sure you will, were you feeling pessimistic about it lately?

…We don’t have any yet. I suppose it’s expected considering the competition but I’m still disappointed. Liba’s already beating me

Well-- at least we got our first medal today! We’ll be catchin’ and climbin’ up them ranks eventually, just you wait!

once again, these are cute, so here is my contribution
