Roger's P.O.V

We were all t the studio working when we heard a knock at the door. I open it to see Charlie.

"Hey, What are you doing here?" I gave him a small half-smile.

"I'm in Montreux renovating a warehouse to turn our next laboratory" He put his hands behind his back.

"Oh, how interesting!" I folded my arms.

"I would like to take you all out for drinks tonight to talk about it." Charlie had an odd expression on his face.

"Yeah, that should be fine where and what I'll speak with the others." My voice was filled with reluctance.

I closed the door as Charlie left.

I go to the others and tell them Charlie's invited us out for drinks tonight at the local pub at eight to discuss his new lab idea.
Everyone agrees that's fine and it was okay. We wrap up our session at the studio around six, and I'll head. We all arrive at the pub together to find Charlie there. He greeted us in a very friendly, non-Charlie way and took us to our table.

"This is going to go wrong in so many ways" Jency put her hands on her hips.

"I'm willing to bet a few quid on it" Brian leaned in.

"So am I" I smirked.

"Same here" John folded his arms.

We get to our table drinks have arrived we sit down and begin drinking with Charlie as he explains his warehouse and the lab project. After another round of drinks, he went on, and on talking about the warehouse by the third round of drinks Jency spoke up and said.

"Sorry to interrupt Charlie but I need to use the toilet keep going
I'll be right back".

That's when she caught my eye I then turned to Freddie who also noticed the way she walked and said.

"She's tipsy as fuck".

"Yep".

Charlie stood up and said, "I'm gonna get us another round of drinks".

As for the first three rounds, I was already feeling it as Charlie was getting the fourth round. My body felt warm and slashed but was buzzed, Jency arrived back at the table right as Charlie came back with the next round of drinks. She then stumbled a little before she sat back down and I can tell she also is feeling a little. John then got up to use the toilet and almost tripped getting out of the booth.

When John got back, Freddie attempted to say that he needed to use the toilet next, but his words came out as slurred mumbles. I looked at Brian and saw his face turn red and said.

"You alright there Bri ? Your face is bright red".

"Really? I feel warm too. I'm gonna go with Fred and splash some cold water on my face and try and cool off then"
He turned and awkwardly got out of the booth following Freddie.

Meanwhile, the next round of drinks arrives at the table before they return from the toilet. This round seemed to affect Jency more than any of us are we going to get concerned if Jessie Diggins swayed in her seat, and her eyes are opening and closing? Then at that moment, another round of shots is brought to our table. We toast to Charlie's new warehouse and take the shots. After we wrap up here in Charlie's business plan, politely decline any involvement in it.

At this time we are all pretty shitfaced, and I wasn't sure that much of the conversation will even be remembered the next game. As it goes with alcohol, we decided to keep drinking and Charlie brought us back to his hotel suite where we opened more bottles, and Charlie continued again to sell us on his business plan and push us to join in. Jency began walking around and I watched her stumble onto the coffee table and fall flat onto it and out.

John was not looking so good and excused himself to the bathroom.

After about five minutes, John hadn't returned so I went to check on him and found him lying on the bathroom floor. I leave the bathroom and look over at Freddie and Brian both don't look too swift. Both had a drink in their hand at Freddie was spilling his all down the front of him he managed a trip over the coffee table, landing face up on the floor while knocking Jency off the table on top of him, which she still doesn't wake up. Brian is still beat red and was breaking out in hives.

Charlie makes him and me another round of drinks while we stand and visit. This last drink is going to do meeting and I'm beginning to sweat and get warm. At this point. I'm wasted and standing is becoming a challenge. I decided to sit down on the couch, and as I attempted to do so, I completely missed it in tumbled face down to the floor behind the couch and I was out.
