According to Leslie’s increasingly less coherent texts, things seemed to be really heating up at the Snakehole. Apparently, even Ron was getting in on it. Feeling worlds…
Chris was starting to feel a little lightheaded from all of the dancing, he decided to take a break. He couldn’t even remember the girl he was dancing with’s name. He muttered something about having to get some air before he slowly made his way into a secluded booth in the corner.
He collapsed on a booth, rudely interrupting a couple that had been making out, they left in a huff.
“Sorry.” Chris said in barely a whisper with an apologetic wave of his hand.
He wasn’t really sure what he was doing. This wasn’t like him at all. Drinking? Come on. He sighed and leaned his head back against the wall trying to go with the room spins. He didn’t think he’d really remember this in the morning. He just felt pathetic at this point. He didn’t need a rebound, or a drunken haze. What he needed was just a little time alone, extra exercise time, and to really re-focus on his work.
“Wait a second…” Chris said, he felt around in his pocket until he found it.
A small bottle of pureed greens. He downed it in a gulp and decided to stay in this room for just a little longer, it was so quiet and peaceful and nice. He slid even further down on the seat and rested his head on the soft vinyl.
Just a moment alone was all he needed and he’d be good as new.
Suddenly Andy interrupted his moment of peace, excitedly putting his arm around Chris’s shoulder.
“Chris!” He yelled over the loud music, tightening his grasp, “I’ve never seen you like this before! I like it!”
Andy, despite not being drunk, was having a good time. He was in a happy mood and had been running around the club all night, chasing after April and dancing. He was drenched in sweat but didn’t care that he was getting it all over Chris.
“Let me buy you a drink!” he offered, and without waiting for a reply, bolted off.
Ron was dancing. In public. Where people could see. And he was happy about it. This was not how Ron Swanson behaved. He felt bad for people who behaved like this. In his mind Ron thought that, logically, he couldn’t be himself. So he decided that he must be someone else. But who? He settled on the name Samuel.
As he was solidifying his new alter-ego in his mind, Andy bumped into him on the way to the bar. “Andrew, my name is now Samuel,” he shouted. Andy gave him a weird look. Ron would not be happy with Sam’s decision to tell people about the change, but he wouldn’t have to deal with it until tomorrow.
Until then, Sam was going to dance.
Andy had bumped into Ron on his way to the bar. As he was about to say a friendly, “Hey Ron!” Ron had told him his name was Samuel. Was this is a joke? Or a trick? Andy did not question it. He didn’t want to get on the wrong side of someone who could possibly be his boss.
He just nodded and walked off, confused as ever.
He pulled out a twenty and ordered a drink for Chris. The bartender nodded and went off to fix the drink. Andy scanned the room and spotted April on the other side. He tried waving but she was too drunk to notice.
“Man,” Andy mumbled to himself, “being the only sober one sucks”.
April, in the sheer horror of being out in public to help someone, had started drinking as soon as she walked into the Snakehole. She had seen Chris and slightly acknowledged his drunken existence, but decided it would be better to get a few drinks in before she went over to try to comfort him. Besides, he looked like he was having a good enough time.
As the drink amount increased, April found herself less concerned about people thinking she was having fun and more concerned about finding a place to sit. The bar area was crowded with only one seat left, so she took it. She didn’t like the way the guy next to her was touching her elbow, so she stared at him until he got uncomfortable enough to get up.
With a free seat next to her, she beckoned Andy to come over. She wanted to talk to him before she had to go back out and join the committee to make Chris feel better.
“This is stupid,” she muttered to herself. Though she really didn’t think it was all that stupid - she sort of liked how her co-workers banded together to help someone in need.
Andy grabbed the drink as the bartender handed it to him and immediately forgot about Chris because April was now waving him over.
“APRIL!” he grinned enthusiastically. He handed her Chris’s drink. “Man, it’s really boring here when I’m not super drunk!” he shouted over the loud music. He then spotted Chris sitting by himself and smacked himself on the head, “oops, that drink was meant for Chris. Man I’m always forgetting stuff.”
Andy felt bad for Chris but at the same time he wasn’t up to conversing with him over the loud music and chatter. Usually Andy loved cheering people up but he just felt tired and needed just one drink in him…
Chris had started playing with a torn hole in one of the cushions of the booth he was sitting in. It had grown exponentially. He didn’t know where Andy or Leslie or anyone else had disappeared to. And at the moment he didn’t really care.
He got down on the floor and just laid there.
“Hello old friend.” He said to it. Pressing his cheek against the cool tile.
April accepted the drink Andy handed her, ignoring the fact that it was for Chris, and eyed him suspiciously. He was looking at the bar with his silly bear eyes and she knew he was thinking about drinking. She also knew he had volunteered to be everyone’s designated driver. From the looks of how everyone was acting, they needed him.
Luckily a distraction came when she noticed Chris slumping down on the floor. She quickly downed the drink, hopped off the bar stool, and grabbed Andy’s arm.
“C’mon. I think Chris just died or something.”
April had grabbed Andy and she was dragging him towards Chris who was laying face down on the floor.
He was definitely breathing, and in fact, looked satisfied and happy. But in a weird way.
Andy let out a chuckle, “Chris, you’re hilarious!” What kind of guy would lie down in the middle of a club like that? How awesome and chill would you have to be to get away with something like that?
Andy was both amused and impressed.
“He’s just being silly,” Andy explained to April, who had weirdly expressed concern for someone she supposedly hated so much.
Chris heard footsteps approaching from behind him. He looked up from the floor to see Andy and April.
“Guys this is incredible. I could hear your footsteps through the floor, like surround sound. Simply amazing.” He put his ear back to the floor to see what else he could hear. He heard Andy tell April that he was just being silly. The last bit of self-preservation he had was telling him to sit up, so he did.
The entire room started spinning before his eyes, he held onto the booth to keep himself steady, he was pretty sure he even went cross-eyed for a moment there. He got himself up and then nearly toppled over into April and Andy.
“So whats next guys?” He said grinning, slurring heavily.
Just as Ron’s drunken alter-ego Sam was getting settled in, the order of ribs arrived. Ron came snapping back. And slightly more sober. Because ribs. He ate half the order in just under five minutes, when something caught his attention. He turned to the waitress.
“I am not done. If any of these are missing when I get back, I’m holding you personally responsible. And I have counted them.”
Ron then started towards what had initially distracted him from his meaty bliss: Andy and April huddled around Chris, who was face-down on the floor. As he came up to them, he stealthily took out his phone and snapped a picture of the man on the ground. Chris rose and shouted “So what’s next guys?” over the music.
“April. Andrew. It’s me, Ron Swanson, and not anybody else. Anyways, although I love to see government officials acting like jackasses, we need to get him some water,” he said, nodding his head at Chris.
