Deeps.ღ If you don’t realize, Ash’s alcoholism is very heavily inspired by Sterling Archer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s secret in the way that the fact that there’s more than plenty of diamonds in the world is a secret. I’m perfectly fine. Maybe a little off, another drink will fix it. I am starting to sober up, after all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oooor maybe ya don't need another drink ! Cause you jus' done went an' told a complete stranger 'bout somethin' tha's meant t' be a secret . An' ... frankly , ya' still sound like yer off yer rocker —
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well there’s that stuff too. But no, Praecium is way more secret. Only a few places have it. Anywhere that doesn’t is peripheral… Hmmm… maybe I need another drink. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I ain't ever heard of Praecium before ... Maybe yer talkin' 'bout Ether ? Ya know ... th' stuff from th' Hollows , now powerin' most th' things ya' see 'round these parts .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Praecium. The super-fuel element from the Disaster? You know, fuels airships and WMDs…? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Th' Praecium wha' now ???
Let me guess You don’t even know how they’re gonna be setting the Praecium deposits to dry up in five years?
Th' mages . You sure tha' ya' don't gotta lay down th' booze a lil' bit ? * 💧
I’m talking about how the goddamned government has been couped by the fucking mages and they’re using the Nitro to rig the Umamusume races. I just don’t know why.
Hey . Respectfully , ma'am . 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩' 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘢' 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯' 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 ???
Convincing..? Of what? I’ve found alcohol is pretty good to loosen lips for all sorts of gossip… Ah, I am? I don’t mean to… just the last time I tried to come in my usual clothes, the host was furious with me…
⠀ Oh me? Just gauging whatever should I say. I'll need convincing if you wanted to know. You get to wear it once, throw it away if you wanted to, at least you tried wearing it. If anything, you're stealing my spotlight. ⠀
Big pause there… like you were about to say something else, yeah? But it’s little reassurance with how stuffy it is…
⠀ At least enjoy your dress. You look... Decent. ⠀

I’m a step closer. I found out the mages operate out of some sort of tower… That helps narrow it down a bit. Now to go find a priest to interrogate.

Huh— What time is it? Oh crap. Well, that’s a missed appointment..
What the fuck. I’m blocking you.
