The Purim Hangover Cure Meme

[attackfish]

I am the only Jew down in Jewville not hungover today, but I have to get in on the Purim fun somehow, so meme! Post the name of any character from any of my fandoms, including my OCs, and I will tell you how they got drunk, who they were with, and what they're doing about the inevitable fallout/pounding head of doom.

Meme closed.

Prince Aleksander Hohenberg!

Well... it all... started when Newkirk smuggled that bottle of Saki onboard in Japan, and then Dylan somehow got his hands on the captain's brandy, and he knew he shouldn't indulge, but all the midshipmen were egging him on, and now Volger won't take pity on him and let him into the asperin, so he has to suffer in silence with the midshipmen. And Dylan is unfairly uneffected.

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

Volger is such a prig, I adore him. Poor Alek, he has to learn his lesson.

I owe you for introducing me to the books!

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

I was just about to ask that! Yay, I'm glad I got somebody to read those.

It could be worse. Alek could be hungover and cleaning vomit off the floor like the middies.

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

I seriously love the world. Like LOVE it, and hope he keeps with it.

Don't give Count Volger ideas.

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

And may I repost?

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

He's writing the occasional short story in it... Hopefully that means the universe hasn't left him yet?

Go right on ahead.

Zuko

zuko isn't hugover, that's just his normal personality

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Like so many things in his life, this can all be traced back to Uncle. How was he supposed to know that was special tea? And now Uncle says he has more tea that will make the pain go away, but he hasn't decided if it's worth it yet...

Re: zuko isn't hugover, that's just his normal personality

[somariel]

LOL. This really got me giggling. Does this mean that Iroh likes his tea with a touch of alcohol?

Re: zuko isn't hugover, that's just his normal personality

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually decided what the adulterating substance is. It might be hallucinogenic herbs, or it might be tea flavored saki, or the leaves might just have been a little moldy.

Re: zuko isn't hugover, that's just his normal personality

[fanficforensics.livejournal.com]

The precise secret of Iroh's very special tea should remain a mystery. I've used it in fic too, and it seems a lot more fun if you don't know what's actually in it ;)

Re: zuko isn't hugover, that's just his normal personalityi

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

I agree. A little mystery is a good thing.

[floranna.livejournal.com]

Somariel stole my answer!

But well... Azula, for the chance of me being contrary.

The princess of the Fire Nation is never less than perfect. Hangovers are not perfection.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

After they burned down the beach house, she and Zuko went back to their old beach house. In one of the old cabinets, they found a bottle of rice wine and shared it, pretending for a little while that everything was normal, and they really did get along. They fell asleep in that dusty old house holding onto each other. She will ignore her hangover into submission. If she rises with the sun and does her katas just like any other morning, it will give up and go away.

Elizabeth Burke

it was totally worth it!

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Way back when she was eighteen, the first week after she started college, the girls in the dorm four doors down threw a party. The next morning, when she had to get up and figure out how to work the coin-op laundry wasn't much fun, and her roommate's tobasco based hangover cure didn't do a damn thing, but the next four years were looking up.

[grandiose666.livejournal.com]

(hi there, I am not hung over either)
Somariel stole mine too! And yes, Uncle Iroh would totally get Zuko hammered. And of course the solution is more tea; tea--the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems!

Does Hufflepuff!Zuko count as a separate character? because I luff him sooooo much.

otherwise, Lu Ten. (still might be Iroh, but maybe not?)
ooh, or Iroh!
Not asking for all of them, just having trouble picking one. So, you pick, please, whoever calls to your drunk-muse.

Yes, the Hufflepuff!Zuko verse characters count as separate characters, but no other verse is so.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

I've just decided that Wizarding Iroh is Jewish (why not?) and so the first time Zuko gets drunk is actually for Purim, because it's his duty, and Zuko's always been very big on duty. But it isn't all it's cracked up to be, thank you very much, and if he gets any drunker, he won't be able to remember his lines for the Purim spiel. At least the Wizarding World has really good hangover cures.

Re: Yes, the Hufflepuff!Zuko verse characters count as separate characters, but no other verse is so

[grandiose666.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay!
Iroh has always struck me as the most Jewish-ish...
Little Zuko does take Duty very very srsly. Hee!

Re: Yes, the Hufflepuff!Zuko verse characters count as separate characters, but no other verse is so

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

In the abridged series, he has a thick Yiddish accent.

*pets dutiful little Zuko*

In Iroh's defense, he never thought his tea phobic nephew would get into his special tea...

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

As far as the noble princes, Iroh and Lu Ten, let's just say that it's a tradition in the Fire Nation army, that after a soldier makes it through their first battle, their unit gets them completely wasted, and anybody who requests a hangover cure the next morning is a jelly-boned wimp.

Ozai.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Ozai will never admit to having been drunk, but the palace servants talk about the time Iroh kept bringing him double strength fruity cocktails the night before his wedding, and he set the curtains on fire. The next morning, the servants left him willowbark tea for breakfast... and made Ursa a pot too.

[luunyscarlet.livejournal.com]

Ursa as well? Was she having a wild bachelorette party or something? And I can totally see Iroh getting Ozai drunk. Probably because Ozai was pretty nervous about his wedding.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Nah, they just figured she would need it after spending the day dealing with hungover Ozai.

[fanficforensics.livejournal.com]

LOL Ozai. I bet he started hating Iroh because Iroh saw something he shouldn't have seen that night.

Sorry for being so late! Got stuck in no net land unexpectedly.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

Iroh saw nothing! Ozai has never been so imperfect as to reveal secrets under the influence! He is above such things! *snerk*

[luunyscarlet.livejournal.com]

Ursa.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

There was that time she talked her brother into playing drinking games with er friends. They drank everybody else under the table, the benefits of foregoing sibling rivalry. Of course the next morning, their mom nearly killed them, because she was supposed to meet her betrothed, but that was kind of why she wanted to get drunk.

[luunyscarlet.livejournal.com]

Lol. Thank you so much for this :D.

Katara.

There was cactus juice involved.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really matter how Katara got drunk, in fact she has no idea how it happened, except she's certain Sokka is to blame somehow. What she remembers is the next morning. Being a waterbending healer of some renown, upon waking with an entire Fire Nation public school marching band tramping trough the inside of her skull, she promptly dunked her head in a bucket of water. Sokka's attempts at illustrating the scene for blackmail purposes, however, fell a little flat.

Re: There was cactus juice involved.

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

...that is all kinds of awesome.

Re: There was cactus juice involved.

*grin* thank you!
