HIGH OUT OF HER FUCKING mind was the best way to describe Rue’s state. She was almost a thousand percent sure she hadn’t been this stoned since the December of her seventeenth birthday and this was from her own product alone. Though she had reasons for it all. She was celebrating! Back home in New Orleans out of all places! Another success was in the bag for the Weiss, an experiment she had been testing for months had finally shown results. Evident from the things that she saw whenever her eyes moved and the state she had ended up in. The end of the experiment was just nights before, while Mina was occupied with her group of buddies (mainly men who were dying to buy such a pretty woman a drink), Rue couldn’t help but snoop in bags, jackets, pockets, all for little Muggle delights that were close to nothing in the Wizarding World. Her first acquired item was a small pill, the engraving of some sort of…one hundred percent symbol placed spot on in the middle. Did it mean anything? Probably not. But the substance was supposedly not like any other pill…Until Rue tested it of course. Rue’s tests were like no other and a test was never a completed test until she had recreated the Muggle item into a Potion. It had been the same thing for her beginning experiments, a twist on Pepperup had become an infamous drug in Hogwarts that only…the students knew about. Thank Merlin. She concluded the pill had to of been what Muggles called MDMA or that funky name Molly. Poor Molly. Hopefully she was okay.

A few drops of other ingredients — ones that would typically produce bad results if measured incorrectly in the practices of other Potions, plus Molly’s little pill as well as Rue’s brew of what she referred to as ‘Secret Stuff’ and Experiment Six-Four-Two was born. Rue remembered the night before she had taken the final product, and the Weiss was sure she even offered up some to Mina but alas, her brain went into a complete melt-down beyond that moment. Her body felt rather slow, while her mind remained wide awake, and even in this state she was trying to analyse what the fuck she had ingested. She loved her own products, no doubt there, but sometimes she knew it was messed up. But it was the feeling that always led her to doing it over and over. Her arms rose, reaching for the ceiling above her as if she could even grab it and soon the Weiss was sitting up, the mess of brown waves settling down just past her shoulders. She blinked, once, twice before profusely, confused at her vision and what she was seeing. Colours of items around her shone brighter now and it finally hit the Potioneer that she wasn’t where she believed to be. But instead at another party. Merlin. What time was it even? Was she close to home? Was Mina even around? Fuck’s sake.

She rose slowly, her legs giving off the feeling of jelly, like any other high person would experience and she paused, arms raising up to control her balance. Wasn’t there someone to help for Merlin’s sake? How much of this shit had she taken? Her head turned and the psychedelic effects only began to kick in more now. Rue was hundreds of percent sure she added a touch of dragon scale’s powder, since it enhanced an ordinary wizard’s brain power and she believed that to link to an implication of visions if abused just a tad bit. It was safe to say, a tad bit was out of the window now. One foot in front of the other and Rue was moving down the corridor, loud thumps of different music playing in the place, club? house? that they were in. ”Mina…” Rue muttered. In doubt that she spoke, Rue paused, knuckles growing white from how tight she held the edges of the wall — to keep her balance up of course — but her mind was telling her to focus on other things. Like focusing on the determination she had to find her friend in the messy scene they were in. Rue was going to kill Mina the moment she found her though.

New Orleans was something else altogether. Mina had been practically all over the United States by now (not literally, but she liked to think she had seen all of the important places), but this was easily her favorite location thus far. It helped that Rue had connections and a place for them to stay, something that would cost money in the other cities she had been too. That and everyone here only wanted to party! How great was that? The last however many days had been spent in a stupor that Mina had never experienced before. She wasn’t even sure how long she had actually been in New Orleans now, but it was freaking awesome regardless. From one party to the next, there had definitely been a couple of days that bled over from one to another, only apparent that it was a new day because the sun would occasionally come up. Time didn’t really matter when she was having fun and enabled to keep going on and on. This sort of thing wouldn’t have been possible back home, since someone would get worried or realize she was missing for more than a day or two. She hated that. Her parents had practically given up once she had loudly stated she was leaving the country for an unknown amount of time. Callisto seemed like she didn’t care anymore too, since she was busy working or whatever, and Dakoda didn’t have the time to watch her twenty-four-seven with his Quidditch career kicking off. All in all, she had no strings attached and the only worries she had were whether or not her fake ID was convincing enough for the next club as it had been with the previous.

But that was why house parties were better. There weren’t any problems at those, and she could literally do whatever she wanted for as long as she wanted to. Tonight (today?) was no different, and she was stuck in the same stupor as the day before and the day before that. Rue had disappeared into the house some time ago, though she had no idea where and hadn’t had the chance to hunt down her friend since that point. A few of the muggles that they had been hanging around with for the last week or so were here too, so she didn’t feel completely alone yet. It was once they disappeared that she would start to get worried. Until that happened though, she was fine bouncing around throughout the house, talking to whomever she pleased. The Americans liked her; they thought her accent was funny and seemed to enjoy the energy she brought to the party.

Currently, she had ensnared a guy that claimed to be a local college student. College. What a funny word for university. There were a lot of American stylizations of words she knew, and even after a few months here, she was still getting used to all of them. Same with the people. College dudes were awesome because they liked to party and all that other fun stuff, something she had been held back from at Hogwarts. Plus everyone was either her age or older, so it was perfect. Her tongue had been down his throat for a while now, when she decided to break away for a breather. Casually looking to her side, she spotted Rue stumbling down the hall towards the living room. It was a grand sort of stumble, the kind she had seen her friend in plenty of times before. Letting go of her new friend, she did her own sort of drunken stumble towards Rue, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Well hello there missy. Looks like you’ve been having some fun without me. Have you met…” she trailed off as she realized she forgot the guy’s name. “What’s your name again?” she yelled over her shoulder at him, though was sure it would be drowned out in the thunder of music.

THE HALLWAY WAS LONG, SOMETHING Rue didn’t expect to face, at least not in this state of mind anyway. She blinked, wondering if the things she saw had impacted her way of thinking, and even started to second guess whether the hall was actually long or not. Holding themselves up against the wall as also not a good idea, especially when it felt like Rue’s world was simply rotating all over the place. Merlin, Six-Four-Two was more than a successful experiment, it was a fucking dream. And most definitely the potion she would have strapped at her side to fulfil her day whenever boredom struck. She heard the voice in her mind before realising Mina was before her, her hands on her shoulder, ridding her from the dream world the potion had created. Rue blinked, once, twice, before doing it again. The drowning of the nearby music only left the Weiss girl to tilt her head slightly, looking back between Mina and the College boy, nodding in his direction as a sign of a greeting.

”So…That’s where you were.” She concluded, lips drawing upwards into a brief smile. Rue let go of the wall then, knuckles returning to their normal tan colour as she rested her hand onto friend’s side, using her friend’s stability for their own balance. It was ironic of Rue to say so however, considering the No-Maj’s she had spent her time alongside as the party was on the uprise. Now Rue had no recollection of the current time, where they were or even how they got there. Rue was always cautious though, ensuring she was always discreet with these kind of things, so she made it seem like she had ‘snorted a line’, or whatever No-Majs called their strange activities. ”I’ve got…Something to try if you’re down?” Rue always shared their product with Mina, since the day the two of them had formed some sort of friendly bond, to the moment Rue provided Mina with her own twist of a Classic Potion.

It was still funny to think it was only a year or so ago when it all began, but Rue had developed more things since then. At least, with Amani and the Purifiers help. Shoving one hand into their jacket, Rue moved closer to her friend to poke it at the side, implying for Mina to try it out. She wanted to describe the numbness, the feeling of glittery tears that slid down Rue’s cheeks but with the No-Maj around…A cover up was probably necessary. ”Do you mind if I steal her?” The Weiss yelled at the No-Maj, trying to drown out the music. ”Just for a few minutes to powder in the bathroom?” Rue wasn’t even wearing a heap of makeup anyway, just their eyelids were filled with glitter to match their maroonish jacket.

Oh Rue was in a grand state after all. While Mina had seen her friend at insane levels of inebriation and had partaken in most of them herself as well, this was something else altogether. This trumped being drunk for twelve hours straight or caught in a high that didn’t seem like it would end. The stumble down the hallway had only been the precursor to what Rue actually looked like, and now that Mina was standing in front of her, it was indescribable. She was pulled closer to her friend, and the mention of ‘trying something’ could only meant that this wasn’t any normal muggle drug. This was one of those ones. The kind that would be illegal in both muggle and magical worlds. Probably untested and highly volatile, as most of Rue’s creations tended to be, but Mina had never been steered the wrong way before by her. Biting down on her lower lip and looking back at the college boy again quickly, Mina decided that she was going to give whatever this was, a go. There were plenty others like the guy, and he would probably still be around later. Or tomorrow. Or the next day. That all depended on what this concoction was.

“Yeah…I’ll give it a shot,” Mina agreed. “See you soon,” she waved back at the boy, slipping her hand down to take hold of Rue’s. She was going to need someone to help her get all the way to the bathroom, because that stumble down the hallway had been of legendary proportions. Mina was in a decent state for the amount she had drank already, but there was always a higher place to reach, and if Rue was any indication of that, it was about to be reached in a matter of minutes. Quickly walking her friend to the closest bathroom, Mina slammed the door behind them and locked it with her wand. “No muggles allowed,” she giggled in a hushed voice, immediately hopping up onto the porcelain sink. “So what do you have for me tonight?”

THE STATE RUE WAS IN was something more than the word incredible. A feeling definitely words could nor would even describe. The floor felt like slime, sticky to push against but easy to get stuck into and help out the Weiss’ balance. The growing potioneer knew it wouldn’t have been long before she had found Mina, especially since her friend was the type to stick out like a sore thumb simply for the means of attention from the popular ones or the hot ones. Whatever Mina was feeling that night anyway. Rue only hoped others weren’t looking at them, didn’t see the stumble she had allowed nor how she pulled Mina into her. She simply felt whatever shit she had kicking in after all.

Rue was the type of person who was always up for experiments, creating things that would have definitely not been legal in either world she liked to immerse herself in and she didn’t mind knowing that. Illegal things always tended to have another element of fun added to them after all. Rue waited for Mina’s initial response, watching as her friend looked up at the college frat boy before choosing the right thing. Getting high with her best friend. The two waved off the boy and with Mina’s help, Rue felt herself being dragged back to the direction of the bathroom. Thank Merlin because…Rue wasn’t exactly good on their own. Immediately, the door slammed behind them and Mina was at it, giggling away while she drew her wand. She knew better not to use magic around No-Majs but given where they were, Rue was sure the Ministry wasn’t monitoring, nor did they care. If Hogwarts gave up on the two shortly before their graduation, the law didn’t apply to them either.

Rue lips curved up into a grin, the giggles coming from her friend soon turning into euphoric rings in her ear. Everything felt heightened, clearer for better, or more so…Worse. Rue stepped closer to the sink on their right, while Mina hopped onto the one on her left? Right? Everything felt backwards now. ”No-Maj’s are definitely not allowed.” She agreed, hands reaching up to push back at messy waves. Merlin that felt good. And as if Rue couldn’t wait for Mina to ask, she turned to the side, her hip pressing against the sink while she looked at her friend. ”Just a little thing yours truly created.”

In her hoody, her hand dug, searching for the small vial she had created in the bathroom surrounded by other No-Majs. ”Remember that wonderful potion that used to get rid of our colds and warm us up?” She questioned, revealing the vial and giving it a little shake. Before Mina could answer, Rue continued anyway. ”Well…With the right ingredients and of course some No-Maj, or what you call, Muggle assistance…I present to you the numbness— no wait! The feeling I’ve been searching for my entire fucking life. Pure euphoria in less than twenty minutes.”

Having unsuspecting muggles wandering into the bathroom while she was in it wasn’t exactly uncommon for Mina. Half of the locks in these shoddy party houses didn’t work, so it wasn’t really a surprise when it happened. It had become almost habit to throw a quick locking spell on it when she needed a little magical time to herself. The silver lining to if she and Rue were caught conducting spells or concocting potions was that they could easily blame the person for being really drunk and then write it off as something normal – like muggle drugs! Mina didn’t really like what the muggles took for fun, but the less harmful ones were certainly up her alley when she had the money for it. Alcohol was infinitely more fun anyways.

“Mmm should’ve guessed. Is that what you’re on right now?” Mina asked, even though she knew the answer to her question already. She was going to be Test Subject #2 for Rue today, as was their normal agreement when it came to these things. As long as Rue was still breathing after ten minutes, Mina didn’t have a problem with partaking in it too. She felt those terms were fair enough, and so, here she was, watching her friend pull out a tiny vial of liquid, shaking it in front of Mina as she explained what it was. Sort of. “Pepper-up potion?” she responded, positive that was the one Rue was talking about. If that was the case, this had to be an upper of sorts, right? Except now Rue was calling it the numbness, and Mina’s eyebrows screwed up in confusion. “So what does it do exactly?”

Trying to comprehend what ‘pure euphoria’ was while drunk didn’t really connect correctly in her brain. Was she going to be happy? Elated? Feeling like she was floating? Rue had stumbled down the hallway a few minutes earlier looking content with whatever she had ingested, so Mina plucked the vial from between her friend’s fingers and popped the stopper from it with her thumb. Giving it one last spin without waiting for an actual explanation for what it was, Mina downed the liquid in one go. “And now we wait twenty minutes…” she trailed off as she pulled the vial away from her lips and handed it back to Rue.

RUE SCRUNCHED UP HER NOSE at Mina’s question, trying to pass off that she hadn’t…consumed any of her own potions at all. Given how slow everything felt to the Weiss and how much bliss she could describe from this exact moment…She knew her attempts at acting would fall incredibly short. ”Pffft. Not at all!” She responded, a slight shrill to her voice. Her hand waved up in front of her to help out her defence before Rue bent completely forward, a snort of a laugh being heard first. ”Okay chief…You got me.” How fucked up was she now?

At Mina’s first guess, Rue snapped her fingers. ”Pepper-up potion!” She repeated in joy. ”The best and easiest creation known to any year within bloody Hogwarts.” At Mina’s question as to what the potion did, Rue’s brows came together. How could she explain this? ”What doesn’t it do?” She countered, figuring it was the best answer. ”I feel…everything and nothing at the same time.” Bliss, joy, complete happiness while her mind was completely and utterly blank. Beautiful.

The vial resting in Rue’s hands was plucked moments before Rue could introduce her next insight on the potion, but alas she wasn’t completely complaining. Dark eyes watched as Mina downed the liquid in one go, eyes widening at how quickly she did so as well. ”By ten you’ll feel it. Twenty is when…The little hallway incident begins. And then…You’ll go back to the state you feel within the ten minute window.”

Rue trying to convince her that she was anything but high right now was an impossible task. Now, if it had been the other way around, maybe Mina would have been all ears. At that point, Rue could have convinced her that she was the Queen of New York or something. Mina was pretty sure they had one of those here, but she couldn’t remember right now. Instead, Mina found herself laughing at Rue’s terrible failed attempt at covering up her current situation. A hard enough laugh that she had to go as far as to steady herself on the sink again, which only caused more giggles to come out of her. Slipping off of it right now would have been the funniest thing to happen to her since coming to the US.

As her laughs died down, Rue went on to explain what the potion (drug?) did. Feeling everything and nothing at all sounded just like what happened to her when she drank too much, except that she felt everything the next morning tenfold. That was already going to happen to her tomorrow morning as it was, so the addition of this little experiment probably wouldn’t hurt too much more. Maybe if they were both lucky, this would be a cure for it. That had happened before.

“Well, I guess I’ll know what you mean in a few minutes,” Mina reasoned as she pulled her phone out to try and see what time it was. She had to hold the device an arm’s length away for her eyes to properly adjust to it, the bright screen burning into her head. “Any idea how long it lasts?” she decided to ask as well, though she really wasn’t all that interested in the come down from it. From the way Rue put it, she had already entered the part after the twenty minutes, which meant it eased its way back down to a happy sort of high, rather than the kind that made her want to go to sleep. At the same time, that probably wouldn’t have been all that bad either.

TRYING TO CONVINCE HER BEST friend was a task that Rue immediately knew would fall short. Mina was the type of person to see past her bullshit and her laugh in response to Rue’s confession was enough to prove that. Rue joined her in their giggle fits, holding at her stomach as everything simply felt…Heightened but…In an amazing way.

Rue’s creation had been one she had focused on for a long time coming, and from each experiment she tested on herself…The result in the morning was something else. Most times she’d find herself in the seat of her desk, other times in a bed that wasn’t hers. Wild. Completely and utterly wild. From Mina’s reasoning, Rue nodded in agreement before hanging her head back, parting her mouth while she opened her eyes, the next phase of the potion taking action. ”Maybe…A few hours?..” Her voice sounded faded, while her eyes focused on sparkling lights that the Weiss knew truly wasn’t there.

”Do…Do you see that?” Rue pointed up then, as if she was reaching out for the light but instead it was a figment of her imagination. ”Holy…Merlin…Is this real?..”

Nothing Rue managed to say before she drifted off into whatever ethereal plane she was going to, made much sense to Mina. She failed to sound convincing about the length of the potion’s effects. That also wasn’t anything new when it came to Rue. Off-color liquids with smelly smoke coming out of them always tended to be the most potent of her creations, and where this one lacked any noticeable taste or smell, it was definitely giving its creator a run for her money. Mina tapped her finger nails against the edge of the porcelain sink, not feeling any different than she had a minute earlier, while Rue definitely went to a new stage of the drug.

Mina followed her friend’s gaze to the ceiling of the bathroom, not seeing anything weird or out of the ordinary. “Nope! What does it look like?” Mina asked as she tilted her head all the way back, figuring it could maybe help her get closer to that point as well. All she had were rings of light forming in her vision from staring straight at the light fixture in the ceiling. Whatever came after the spinning hallway routine Rue had been going through earlier seemed fun though.

Twenty minutes was going to be a long time though, so Mina gathered her things up, and walked towards Rue. Even the short distance in the bathroom was rough on her legs, which had almost gone numb from sitting on the sink. “Let’s get out of here. Go home and trip there. It’ll be better than being in a bathroom,” Mina drunkenly reasoned. She knew she wasn’t wrong, and she could easily apparate both of them from here to there. If they were going to do that, they had to go before her dose kicked in. “We can sit on the roof or something there.”

RUE ONLY WISHED SHE FOUND Mina earlier. Mina needed to feel exactly what the Weiss was feeling and soon enough. It was a note the little potioneer needed to make, to amend the potion so the effects came faster and lasted longer. Easy to say but hard to tweak and do. Luckily the Weiss loved a challenge. The lights and colours that appeared within Rue's eyesight now allowed the potioneer to laugh quietly, fingers reaching to touch the figments of her imagination. Merlin this felt amazing.

"Bright..." She began, feeling her own words slur and the room around her spin slowly. "Purple...Pink...Blue..." Those were the main colours Rue was seeing and Merlin she loved it. "How long has it been?...Since you took it?..." If Rue timed it correctly, the effects started kicking in by three minutes, the room slowing and making the subject in hand experience things that didn't appear normal. By ten the sickness and slowness eased and by twenty, Mina would experience everything Rue was experiencing right now.

Rue nodded at the suggestion, home was ten times better than the shit house they sat in currently and the roof...Could be a new experience for the brunette. "Deal." She murmured out, attempting to wrap an arm around her friend for support but instead felt silk-like particles on her finger tips, as if the Weiss picked up the softest thing known to man. "Shit..." She tried to open her eyes wider then, slightly swaying to the side and once Rue did, their pupils were blown wide. With the mix of alcohol and the potion itself, Rue felt completely light on her feet. "We should...Go now...Before the spinning starts for you."

Bright colors sounded fun. Mina was more worried about the spinning though, and she knew that was coming soon. “Two minutes, I’d hazard?” She responded to her friend, as she also scooped up all of Rue’s belongings that the girl had missed. While they would both be having the time of their lives in a few minutes, doing so in the bathroom of a house they didn’t know, at a party full of people they just met, seemed like the worst way to do it. Home was much cleaner, and her earlier suggestion of sitting on the roof certainly beat the sink and the toilet by a mile.

Rue tried to grab on to Mina, but kept missing her arm, grabbing onto everything but what Mina had held out. She tried to keep herself from laughing, because that was only going to waste more time. Once she got drunk giggling, it would be game over for them. “Okay, stop moving,” Mina laughed, wrapping her hands around Rue so that she could apparate both of them at the same time. “We’ll land in the bedroom. Hold on.”

Taking a deep, drunken breath, Mina apparated both of them back to the house, landing right in front of the bed. Her footing was bad enough that she wobbled on impact, and tipped over and back onto the bed. “Dude it’s so tough to apparate when drunk,” she laughed out, immediately kicking her shoes off and tossing her stuff across the room. “I’ll go get more drinks if you can get the window open.” Stumbling to the bedroom door, she started to feel the spinning that Rue had mentioned, unsure if that was from the alcohol, or the drugs.

TWO MINUTES FELT LIKE A God awful long time now that the Weiss had considered it. Two whole minutes. Sixty seconds counted twice? Seemed ridiculous to Rue. The high for her had been a long starter but the ride only became bumpier, the spinning had phased out easy enough and while the colours were bright and vivid, the brunette only knew it was gonna get better from here. And better she was correct on.

Mina spoke, mentioning how she would apparate the two of them back to their home. While Rue felt happy about the idea, with their additional plan to spend the rest of the night on the roof...they also hated apparating while high. It fizzled out the visionary aspects of the drug a bit before coming back in full speed, something that could hurt the ordinary person. Thank Merlin, Rue wasn't normal. Doubling onto the bed was comforting for the Weiss but the sickness that rose from the pit of her stomach wasn't. Mumbling and lifting a hand to wave at her friend while she got comfy, Rue rolled onto their back, blinking up at the bright bedroom light and how it suddenly began to change.

"Huh?" Rue called out, lifting their hand as if she were in a trance, missing what Mina had said completely. The next phase was finally kicking in for the Weiss as she touched her face gently before looking at her fingers, the sensation of a glittery liquid pooling out of them. "Oh...Fuck.."

The most daunting part of her journey to the fridge lay in front of her: the stairs down to the first floor. She may have forgotten about that part when she elected herself as the one to fetch more drinks. The spinning her head was currently putting her through wasn’t helping in the slightest either, and Mina carefully stepped to the edge of the stairs, instantly getting vertigo as her eyes tried to adjust to the change in her depth perception. “Fuuuck,” she said loudly, mostly to Rue even though they were a room away now. Grabbing onto the bannister with a death grip, she cautiously lowered herself onto the first step, making sure to keep her eyes on her feet and not to the bottom of the stairwell. It certainly helped, because she quickly made her way down, only slipping off the last step because she was excited to have made it without any problems.

The kitchen was just around the corner, and Mina sauntered into it, giggling the whole time in the pitch black of the house. It was hard not to laugh, and she wasn’t sure if that was again, because of the alcohol or drugs, or if she was simply in that kind of a mood tonight. Literally everything was up in the air.

Popping open the refrigerator door, she was forced to squint against the fluorescent light pouring out onto her. The drug potion definitely didn’t like that. It was a conflicting visual sensor, and she didn’t like it. But going back without more drinks would be just as bad. She managed to grab what looked to be a six-pack with only four remaining beers, shoved two water bottles into the remaining slots, and then slammed the door closed again. With her eyes adjusting to the darkness more by now, they zeroed in on an unopened bottle of whiskey sitting on the counter. When had they bought that? Shrugging, she grabbed that as well and started her slow ascent back upstairs, still laughing under her breath and trying not to fall over from the spinning and bright colors that were beginning to pop into her vision.

Rue was flat on their back on the bed by the time Mina stumbled back into the bedroom, hands in front of her face like there was something going on with them. “I’ve got dri-drinks,” Mina hiccupped halfway through. “Come on,” she added, bumping Rue’s leg with the six-pack she was swinging back and forth. Her friend had failed to open the window to get out onto the roof, but that wasn’t really a surprise. Mina just wanted to make it safely up before she got hit full force by the potion. The bubbles of color were really trying to ingrain themselves now, but she was positive she could make it outside in time. Sliding the window open, she was happy that it was fairly flat, and good distance away from the edge of the roof. “Rue! I’ve got whiskey. Hurry up or I’m drinking all of it,” Mina called back into the bedroom as she found a secure place to put the beer down before pulling the stopped of the whiskey bottle out with her teeth and taking a swig. It was shit quality, which she could tell from one sip, so she immediately plugged it back up and started rifling through her pockets for her cigarettes and lighter, which would hopefully kill off the aftertaste.

FROM AFAR, RUE COULD'VE SWORN she heard her friend cursing. Instead, the Weiss blankly blinked up at the ceiling, unable to process nor form any kind of words or actions. She felt at peace there, against the soft mattress that she was sure Mina had spent quite a bit of money for. If her mind wasn't wrecked in its entirety, Rue felt they could fall asleep like this. Crying glitter out of her eyes while finding simple bliss. The euphoric feeling only continued once her friend returned to the room, Mina's usual sounding voice having a new ring to it, as if someone gently tapped on a bell with every sentence she spoke.

Something cold pressed against Rue's leg temporarily and it was then when words finally began to settle into Rue's mind. While imaginary glitter tears escaped Rue's eyes even more, the Weiss reached forward, pulling themselves up to sit up completely and take in her surroundings. Mina's room seemed...Spacious, while in reality it was the drugs simply kicking in. "Did...You say something about the window?..." She simply asked, moving instinctively towards it, lifting themselves from the bed to it. It took Rue a moment though, their sudden movements causing the Weiss' mind to slow, pondering if she was close or completely far from the window completely.

It was as if Mina had moved like a blur, as Rue looked behind them, confused as to how Mina had moved so quickly, now sitting on the roof. Rue rose completely then, staggering to the open window and climbing out carefully. "Is it a good one?" Rue found themselves asking, sitting comfortably next to Mina, resting her head on Mina's shoulder. Fuck. This was going to be one heavy comedown.
