... Well, it happened so fast I couldn't really call it "idle sipping", actually. It was more like, "the moment the foul toxin met my taste buds, I let loose an embarrasing torrent of spittle and alcohol, hitting about a dozen people with it". Including, naturally...FanFiltration.

To be sure, this wasn't going so well yet.

a voice said behind me. I turned around, the foul beverage still dripping from my chin, and saw a handkerchief. "Have my hanky, and take a sip of Jack Daniel's, it will wash that taste out of your mouth right away." said Leo, holding the white fabric in one hand. The look on his face was one of compassion and slight amusement. The guy looked a bit like Ray Dorset, the singer from Mungo Jerry. Only fatter.
