angle harped adj. Loosened by drink into making a long, oblique argument whose resonance exceeds its practical value. Kingsleigh went angle harped and turned a question about taxis into an extended meditation on departure. angle ironned adj. Emboldened by drink to enter a difficult corner and reinforce it with confidence rather than preparation. Samyra became angle ironned and volunteered to settle the dispute between two people she had never met. angle leafed adj. Slowed by drink to adding decorative flourishes to decisions that would have benefited from being made plainly. Diedrick went angle leafed and embellished a simple refusal until everyone had forgotten the question. angle levelled adj. Drunk and measuring the room repeatedly, confident that one more reading will justify the intended course. Ranyia became angle levelled and inspected the table before approving its suitability for dancing. angle of Hissed adj. Drunk to the point where every confident decision arrives with a small, defensive sound. Gregrory went angle of Hissed and dismissed the sensible route with an irritated whisper. angle of Louised adj. Drunk enough to mistake a bodily landmark for a reliable point from which to direct the evening. Yarlyn became angle of Louised and gave precise directions from the entrance to the stomach. angle of attacked adj. Drunk in a way that turns every approach into an assault and every setback into proof of momentum. Heike went angle of attacked and charged the coat stand after failing to open the front door. angle of depressioned adj. Drunk, with the result that everything below eye level appears both reachable and faintly disappointing. Johnise became angle of depressioned and addressed the pavement as though it had failed her personally. angle of elevationed adj. A drinker who surveys the kitchen from the sofa as though measuring the height of the water glass. Berina, thoroughly angle of elevationed, judged the glass of water too far below her line of sight. angle of incidenced adj. A drinker so far gone that every approach to the sofa is made against an imagined perpendicular. Laray arrived angle of incidenced, meeting the sofa at precisely the wrong angle. angle of reflectioned adj. A drinker who returns each remark altered, preserving its direction while making it harder to recognise. Arriona was angle of reflectioned, sending Eirc's harmless toast back as a complaint about loyalty. angle of refractioned adj. The condition of a drinker who changes direction on entering the kitchen, usually towards the nearest soft furnishing. Pamalia went angle of refractioned through the kitchen doorway and emerged beside the sofa. angle of reposed adj. The drunkenness of one who piles cushions steeply until the evening begins sliding gently towards sleep. Farra was angle of reposed beneath a precarious heap of cushions and one folded blanket. angle of torsioned adj. Reduced by drink to a succession of tiny twists between sofa, kitchen, and the glass of water. Ridha was angle of torsioned, turning fractionally at every cushion before settling down. angle of vanishing stabilitied adj. A drinker so far gone that uprightness lasts only until somebody releases the chair. Leonor became angle of vanishing stabilitied beside Elliya and treated the armrest as structural support. angle of viewed adj. Emboldened by drink to include the entire room in one determined sweep of attention. Jasyiah was angle of viewed and attempted to address everyone from the sofa at once.
