WHO: Finn & Clarke Griffin
WHAT: Taking a drunk Finn home... well, trying to anyway
WHEN: July 4th
WHERE: Outside Caesars Palace
RATING | STATUS: Low | In-progress
Exploring is important to Finn, it helps him feel less caged, less like a prisoner. A lot of his life was spent enslaved to a cause he didn't know if he believed in and when he did find something, he was taken away from it. Roaming the streets of Las Vegas reasserts his independence, sure, he may be stuck, but he can move around and he can look at things and he can get to know the world he's suddenly stuck on.
Lately these excursions have taken a slightly more dangerous turn, with the recent poppy situation but he's been good at avoiding most hotel lobbies. There are some that have poppies and others that don't. He has a list so far of the lobbies to avoid, Caesars Palace hadn't been on that list because most of the people coming in and out were... more or less identical to some of the others he'd seen around the strip. Finn was still careful to avoid entering from the front though and yet still managed to end up smack dab in the middle of Caesars Palace Hotel lobby.
The effects didn't hit him right away, the feeling of being drunk was unfamiliar to him. Finn was almost ready to relax when he seen the bright red, stupid looking poppies. Now, normally he's pretty good at not panicking but the Excalibur comes to mind and suddenly Finn's trying his hardest to get to the front door but he can't walk straight and his legs feel weird, not bad but like they're not quite listening properly.
Panic is the only thing that gets him out the door but it takes longer than he'd like and his thoughts are going fuzzy and weird. Before he can delve fully into what he will learn is a drunken stupor for the next 24 hours, Finn posts on the network and then sits on the nearest ledge to try sort himself out. It's hard to do anything and any sort of rationally he might have had is long gone by the time Clarke shows up.
"CLAAARKE!" He yells cheerfully, because she is the exact person he wanted to see and now he's so happy. "You're here!! I'm exploring and I found a palace!" Finn's standing on the ledge and presenting the hotel behind him, swaying dangerously.
