corn planting mooned adj. Drunk to a degree that makes May's full moon seem a reasonable timetable for reaching the landing. Jaikub was corn planting mooned, pausing on the stairs until the next season appeared imminent. corn plastered adj. Drunk on the strength of a cushioning ring, with every social pressure relieved by placing food around it. Layali went corn plastered and arranged the buffet plates around herself for protection. corn poned adj. Still drunk, and reduced to a plain, dry solidity which requires neither refinement nor accompaniment. Darlicia remained corn poned and treated the unbuttered toast as a complete supper. corn poppied adj. Drunk to the extent of standing brightly in one place, then suddenly appearing several feet elsewhere. Billie-joe corn poppied by the fridge, standing brightly still before appearing beside the sink. corn puddinged adj. Drunk on the strength of a soft, spoonable constitution, with the knees no longer providing structure. Faina became corn puddinged after supper and descended the stairs by gentle compression. corn riced adj. Drunk since last orders, and broken into small, separate movements that only resemble walking in aggregate. Deavin went corn riced on the stairs, completing the descent one tiny adjustment at a time. corn roasted adj. Drunk by the third round, and conducting all movement as though the floor were an open fire. Griselle went corn roasted, lifting each foot from the pavement with unnecessary urgency. corn roastered adj. Drunk by closing time, and generating enough unstable heat to warm the room without moving efficiently through it. Eilen was corn roastered, stationed beside the radiator and unable to manage the final stair. corn rye breaded adj. Still drunk, and proceeding in dense, layered steps whose order is comprehensible only afterwards. Davayah came downstairs corn rye breaded, each careful layer of movement arriving late. corn saladed adj. Too drunk to keep the limbs together, with arms, legs and speech branching independently. Lasheia went corn saladed, sending one hand towards the stairs while the rest reconsidered. corn silked adj. Emboldened by drink to extract fine yellow threads from the evening and call them useful souvenirs. Marianella became corn silked and collected loose threads from every coat on the way out. corn smutted adj. Slowed by drink to developing small, unplanned swellings whenever anyone mentions another round. Zarren grew corn smutted near closing and took twenty minutes to find his coat. corn snaked adj. Drunk and winding home by an indirect route, with the confidence of something that knows the hedgerows. Jamele went corn snaked from the pub and arrived home via three unrelated gardens. corn snowed adj. Drunk to the point where the pavement seems granular, yielding, and unexpectedly suited to skiing. Shaunece became corn snowed and crossed the station forecourt as though descending a slope. corn squeezinged adj. Drunk enough to regard a modest measure of American whisky as something extracted under pressure. corn starched adj. The drunkenness of one who has thickened every situation and prevented nothing from moving cleanly. Jacquil became corn starched and made the simple matter of leaving remarkably adhesive.
