4chan helluva boss story - Little Octavia & handle alcohol

from /hhg/ Helluva Hotel general #665.991
-----
I just realized why Little Octavia looks so off.
She needs a hat.
-
Smol Via becoming inexplicably fascinated with a random knit cap at the store and begging Stolas for it even though she has tons of crowns and elaborate silk headwear at home when?
-
>Implying Stolas didn't knit it himself and its one of her most prized possesions
-
>he knitted it when she asked for a crown like his
---
I love how she goes from a tiny poofy bird to this tall and slim bird.
-
Just like in real life.
-
>Date Octavia for a while
>Finally end up visiting her parents
>Stolas, after having a nice conversation and deciding that you are a wonderful partner for his daughter, decides to show you her baby photos
>Octavia ends up dying inside, trying and failing to conceal them from you
>They're all just her being small, poofy and adorable
>You can feel your heart melt as you look at them
-
>He shows you his study
>Up on the mantle over the fireplace is a Fabergé egg
>A really big Fabergé egg
>"Where did you get this from? Looks neat."
>"Ah that, I got that from Via's mother."
>"Oh....Oooh"
>"Yep, its a Goetia family tradition to decorate and display the egg of the most recently born child"
>"Wow, it's uh...pretty big"
>Stolas puts a hand on your shoulder and admires it along side you
>"Yes it is....I know what you're thinking and yes, it was horrifying to watch"
>"Alrighty then"
-
>Later on you and Octavia are listening to music in her room
>You're lying next to each other on her bed, Octavia has her eyes closed and you're just staring at the ceiling
>You finally work up the nerve to say something
>"Hey uh....Octavia"
>"Hmm" she says, not even opening her eyes
>"Did you come from an egg?"
>She snorts and laughs "What makes you think that, is it because I'm an owl or something?"
>"Well...no, me and your dad where in his study and he showed me the egg on th-"
>He eyes suddenly snap open and looks right into yours. "What did you say?"
>You jump and damn near fall off the side of the bed
>"Y-your dad showed me the egg, on the mantle"
>She suddenly bolts upright and storms out of the room
>Oh God she's mad
>You hear her from down the hall
>You can barely make out what she's saying but she's definetly talking to Stolas
>"Dad! I told you to stop telling people that, its not true!"
>"Oh come on Via, its funny"
>"No it's not!"
-
>Stolas has a bunch of stuff to tease Octavia
>Some of it involves her as a baby
>Some are just silly jokes
>Octavia is dying of embarrassment and is slightly worried you'll leave her
>Meanwhile, you're falling even more in love with the dorky owl that tries so hard to act cool

Man, Octavia can certainly handle her alcohol. Don't want to imagine what kind of stuff she'd drag you into.
-
>Go to a bar with Octavia
>Bartender has "the usual" ready for her before you even sit down
>She drains her glass in half the time it takes you to finish your drink
>And goes straight for another
>You try to go drink for drink with her but its like trying to catch up to an olympic marathon runner, no matter how much effort you put in its just a game of catch-up
>When she decides she's had enough (thank fucking GOD), she eases herself off her barstool in a downright graceful fashion and strolls to the door straight as a soldier, whilst you barely manage to get up without falling right back over
>She links arms with you
>"So, what do you want to do now?"
>Honestly, curl up on the floor and wait until the world stops spinning and your feet stop tripping over everything
>Ehhhhh you'll just let her decide
>Wake up the next morning with the worst hangover of your life
>Wearing the most ridiculous goth-kid outfit you've ever seen
>Next to a pile of creepy looking taxidermy, CDs of bands you've never heard of, astronomy textbooks, and arcade shooting gallery prizes
>With a wad of receipts from Stylish Occult, Faust's Book Barrel, and a half a dozen other weird-ass shops and clubs in your pocket where all your cash should be
-
>Despite not remembering about half of your time with her, it was still the most fun you've had in your life.
>You tell her this when you see her later
>She tells you that she had a good time, but you gotta work on holding your own alcohol
>Even though you drank just as much as she did
>She decides that the best way to do this is, naturally, try to keep pace with her every single night
>You're pretty sure it's enough alcohol to kill an overlord with ease

Thats why you gotta level your booze with water.
Since alchohol dehydrates you (its part of the reason you wake up with a horrible headache) you should take in as much water as you do booze.
Make sure you eat too.

this
I have never once had a hangover and it's probably because I drink a fckton of water
