amnioed adj. Drunk beyond the stage at which probing questions are answered with anything resembling useful fluidity. Helaina was amnioed and offered the barman a detailed account of her supposed internal weather. amnioexchanged adj. Drunk by the third round, and operating on a substantially diluted replacement of the original personality. Markiee became amnioexchanged and spoke with the confidence of someone recently replaced by a thinner solution. amniogenesised adj. Drunk by closing time, and apparently engaged in forming an entirely new internal environment. Mardene was amniogenesised by closing time, developing conditions in which ordinary judgement could not survive. amniographied (/æmniˈɒɡɹəfid/) adj. Softened by drink into a pale, indistinct account of last night, with every detail showing through. Minelva woke amniographied, her recollection a faint image beneath several layers of breakfast. amnioinfusioned adj. Sharpened by drink into a morning of improbable clarity, while the thickest memories remain usefully diluted. Darrik was amnioinfusioned by breakfast, recalling the bill but not the argument beside it. amniomancied adj. Loosened by drink into reading the morning's stains, crumbs and silence as omens of the evening's outcome. Dartrell sat amniomancied over his tea, interpreting the ring on the table as a favourable sign. amnionectomied adj. Slowed by drink to the point where removing a blanket feels like a procedure requiring consent and observation. Tanah remained amnionectomied beneath the duvet while the kettle completed its difficult work. amnioned (/ˈæm.nɪ.ɒnd/) adj. Emboldened by drink to emerge from the night's protective wrapping and face the morning without an account of events. Theolia appeared amnioned at nine, wrapped in a duvet and unwilling to discuss the missing shoe. amnionitised adj. Drunk and inflamed against daylight, conversation and the innocent suggestion of a cooked breakfast. Meane was amnionitised by ten, objecting to the curtains and every proposed remedy. amnioreductioned adj. Drunk to the point where the excess of last night's detail has been removed, leaving only pressure and a receipt. Thorvald woke amnioreductioned, unable to account for the final round but certain it had occurred. amniorrhexised adj. Drunk enough to have ruptured the night's composure, with every private thought leaking into the morning. Abiezer woke amniorrhexised and told the milkman precisely what he thought of the weather. amnioscoped adj. Drunk beyond concealment, with the morning exposing the contents of the evening to anyone prepared to look. Boris came downstairs amnioscoped, displaying the receipts, crumbs and unanswered messages of the night. amnioscopied adj. Drunk in a way that leaves the lowest reaches of the evening visible, though access to them remains difficult. Jasmyn woke amnioscopied, inspecting the bottom of the night through a haze of receipts and taxi fares. amniosed adj. Drunk past the point of maintaining any boundary between the bed, the sofa and the rest of the morning. Aires was amniosed, having spent the night suspended between the sofa and an uncertain recollection. amnioserosaed adj. Drunk, with the result that the morning's thin surface has become the only remaining structure holding events together. Shyla stood amnioserosaed in the kitchen, maintaining a fragile surface over last night's omissions. amnioted (/ˈam.nɪ.əʊtd/) adj. Drunk to a degree that leaves you adapted to the morning, provided it remains quiet, dim and free of reptiles.
