WHO: Sara Lance and Jo Schumacher WHAT: Week 15 experiment WHEN: Day 103, Friday afternoon WARNINGS: Drunkenness? STATUS: Closed, Complete
There hadn't been much opportunity to get drunk when Sara was stuck on the Amazo, trapped on Lien Yu, or training and working with the League of Assassins. Upon her return to Starling City, she was busier taking care of her family and hitting the streets with Ollie and the rest of his team to really party it up like she had as a college student. Then there was the whole dying and resurrection thing, being without a soul, and leaving to join Rip's team. All in all, it meant that Sara's opportunities to even enjoy a drink had been seriously limited for the past 8 or so years, let alone having the time to actually get drunk.
As such, this week had been... interesting. In some ways, she was enjoying the lack of inhibitions, not that she tended to have many when she was sober these days, but she also hated the lack of control that came with constantly feeling inebriated. Mostly, she was trying to lay low, spending the majority of her time hanging out in the library and avoiding most alcohol in favor of water, since at least it didn't upset her stomach.
Today though, well, she decided to embrace her lack of sobriety, grabbed a six pack of beer from the liquor store, and headed to the carnival. It had been more than a decade since she had a chance to indulge in something like this and who knew how long the thing would be operational. The fact that The Management gave them two whole weeks of the electricity, running water, and the town actually not looking like something out of a horror film was a surprise. It might not be the smartest idea to try operating the rides in her current states, but she was suddenly struck by a strong desire to ride the Ferris Wheel. If only she could figure out how to make it start.
