cAMP'd adj. Drunk to the point where every social signal is amplified cyclically, returning stronger after each round. Caryna was cAMP'd, turning a quiet suggestion into a repeated announcement for the whole room. cD'd adj. Drunk beyond the point where ordinary company suffices; the room must now contain a galaxy. Suellen became cD'd and assigned every guest a place in the outer darkness. cDNA'd adj. Still drunk, and reconstructing the evening backwards from whatever fragments remain in the messages. Niana was cDNA'd, replaying the night from a voice note and two receipts. cDOM'd adj. Too drunk to distinguish what has dissolved into the surroundings from what is merely on the carpet. Gabriana became cDOM'd and treated the murky puddle as part of the floor. cFLIP'd adj. Sufficiently drunk to inhibit every useful response while retaining the mechanism for refusing assistance. Hallard was cFLIP'd and blocked three attempts to call a taxi without moving his hand. cGMP'd adj. Drunk, with the result that every message becomes circular, chemically amplified, and socially consequential. Anai went cGMP'd and sent the same invitation round the table until everyone accepted it. cI proteined adj. Drunk to a degree that switches off rival conversations and prevents further infections of the evening. Breeanna became cI proteined and silenced every new topic before it could spread. cI'd adj. Drunk by closing time, and treating every cylindrical object as evidence of a larger structure. Erin-marie was cI'd and inspected the glasses as though they concealed a building plan. cIMP'd adj. Of a drinker who has begun passing messages in small biochemical abbreviations. Demery got cIMP'd and labelled the beer mat with an enzyme pathway. cLWTS'd adj. Drunk by the third round, and assigning numerical weight to every pitch, pause and poor decision. Chantelle-louise went cLWTS'd and rated the barman's last three gestures for strategic value. cM'd adj. Having drunk enough to cross conversations repeatedly, at a rate of roughly one awkward exchange per round. Beibheann got cM'd and crossed from darts to dominoes without completing either conversation. cMOOC'd adj. Drunk to the extent of turning the gathering into a collaborative course whose syllabus changes hourly. Esneider got cMOOC'd and invited every guest to revise the dinner's teaching materials. cNeoblasted adj. Softened by drink into a small, self-renewing unit of confidence, capable of forming a crowd. Joeana got cNeoblasted and turned one suggestion into a complete departure committee. cRNA'd adj. A drinker who has allowed the instructions in the body’s fluid interior to become thoroughly untrustworthy. Christasha was cRNA'd and issued contradictory commands to each leg on the stairs. cSDH'd adj. Drunk to the extent of storing the evening beneath the surface, where it emerges tomorrow. Alissar was cSDH'd, apparently fine until the bill was mentioned the following morning. cSNP'd adj. Drunk on the strength of one tiny conversational variation, which nevertheless changes the whole group. Rahcel went cSNP'd after one altered word sent the table into a new argument.
