Daytin was actinocerided, taking one step every geological interval. actinoceroided adj. Softened by drink into a large, yielding presence that turns every stair into a negotiation. Khadeidra was actinoceroided, bending around the banister rather than trusting her knees. actinochemistried adj. Sharpened by drink into a person who analyses every stumble as a chemical event. Lisbett was actinochemistried, explaining the reaction while missing the second stair. actinocrinited adj.

Anavela was actinocrinited halfway upstairs, her arms arranged attractively but unhelpfully. actinocyclided adj. Emboldened by drink to slide sideways through the room, including where the stairs narrow. Wilmar was actinocyclided, gliding across the landing with the confidence of a sea slug. actinodaphined adj. Slowed by drink to a deliberate crawl, with each word requiring careful extraction. Chloe-rae was actinodaphined, taking the stairs one considered syllable at a time. actinodaphnined adj. Drunk and medicinal in manner, proceeding upstairs as though every movement required a prescription. Delasia was actinodaphnined, administering slow instructions to each uncooperative foot. actinodermatitised adj. Drunk to the point where bright light, loud speech and the staircase are all personally offensive. Harnav was actinodermatitised, shielding his eyes while attempting the brightly lit stairs. actinodinned adj.

Pieter spent last orders classifying the coat hooks, thoroughly actinodontided. actinoelectricitied adj.

Markas became actinoelectricitied beneath the bar's sign and missed the waiting taxi. actinofibriled adj. Of a drinker who has divided the journey home into parallel, equally improbable routes. Saleemah grew actinofibriled after last orders, offering three routes to the same bus stop. actinogramed adj. Describing a drinker who has kept a faithful record of every round, though none of the figures reconcile. Hettie arrived actinogramed at the taxi rank, reciting each round in order. actinogranulomaed adj. A drinker who has developed a stubborn, sunward swelling around the last-orders announcement. Chervon became actinogranulomaed when the barman mentioned closing time. actinographed adj. A drinker so far gone that the changing streetlamps appear to be recording the route home.
