We find ourselves out at a backyard party. People are milling about, mostly young adults chilling and chatting as the youth do. There’s the sound off scene of a gate opening, and a voice calling out to the people there.
“Mind if I join in?”
The camera turns to see none other than-
“Captain Arcadia?”
Yes, I was getting there. He enters into the backyard, coming out with a cooler held between his hands. Folks instantly buzz over, taking a look inside at the various drinks and the like.
“I hope you don’t mind me popping on by. Saw that you were having a party and figured it’d make sense to bring a few things to make sure everyone was partying responsibly.”
One of the party goers, that nosy question asker of course it’s him, “What do you mean by responsible party going?”
“I’m glad you asked! There’s nothing wrong with cutting loose from time to time, enjoying the wealth and prosperity of Arcadia at it’s finest. But if you aren’t careful, a good time could become a bad time.”
[ A cut to footage of the old Red Light District as a club is shown in flames, and a drunken Mighty Mighty stumbles away]“For example,” Arcadia states positively as reaches into the cooler and fishes out a water bottle “I brought plenty of water to keep you hydrated along with these alcoholic drinks. If you don’t stay hydrated, it won’t stay down.”
[A footage cut to Mighty Mighty downing a massive double magnum as the club around him chants “Chug Chug!” This ends with him vomiting violently over half of the crowd around him.]“Oh,” says that pesky question asker, silenced for only a few moments more before once again going “What else is there to be responsible about at parties?”
“Well, there are a few things. One is to be respectful towards others. Alcohol can cloud the mind and judgement of each person. Things like consent can’t be truly given if under the influence of alcohol.”
[It cuts to a scene of Mighty Mighty stumbling towards a lady, trying to flirt. Despite her clearly saying no, he continues to try until she reaches back and slugs her purse straight into his face]Raising a finger, Captain Arcadia speaks again.
“But the most important thing to do my young friend is to make sure everyone gets home alright. At the end of every party, it’s the safety and wellbeing of those you care about that matters.”
“Oh, I see! As long as we’re responsible and look out for each other, we’ll be sure to have a great time! Just like how you say we should for Arcadia!”
“You’re right on the money there friend. We’re only as strong as our weakest link. Pass me another drink, and let’s get this started!
