chromium grouped adj. Emboldened by drink to address the staircase as four separate elements, none requiring assistance. Shaylea became chromium grouped and challenged each flight of stairs individually. chromium platinged adj. Slowed by drink to a careful, reflective progress in which every stair receives a separate approach. Deianna went chromium platinged and took the staircase one polished hesitation at a time. chromium sesquioxided adj. Drunk and covered in a dull green certainty that the wall is holding the building up. Iannick became chromium sesquioxided and leaned against the corridor as though supporting it. chromium trioxided adj. Drunk to the point where each stair appears chemically more urgent than the last. Essien was chromium trioxided and treated the fourth step as a separate emergency. chromium-52'd adj. Drunk enough to account for most of the room's movement while contributing very little coordination. Lataysha was chromium-52'd and supplied most of the evening's swaying. chromium-53'd adj. Drunk past the point of ordinary balance, though still present in a small and persistent minority. chromium-54'd adj. Drunk beyond the point where balance can be called a majority position. Juliann went chromium-54'd and lost the vote between both feet on the stairs. chromiumed (/ˈkɹoʊ.mi.əmd/) adj. Sharpened by drink into a person who points decisively at each stair but misses several. Avier became chromiumed and gave the staircase precise but inaccurate directions. chromoanagenesised adj. Drunk, with the result that the original arrangement of limbs, words and intentions is replaced by a newer one. Vannia became chromoanagenesised and found her feet speaking before she did. chromoanasynthesised adj. Drunk to a degree that rearranges the body's instructions into a large, chaotic sequence of near-movements. Joycene went chromoanasynthesised and sent several unrelated limbs towards the landing. chromoblasted adj. Drunk to the extent of developing a new, highly visible colour whenever balance is requested. Aniyjah became chromoblasted and flushed at each unsuccessful attempt to stand. chromoblastomycosised adj. Drunk and developing a persistent, fungal-looking surface which the morning will not regard as an improvement. Anay was chromoblastomycosised, his complexion acquiring the durable irregularity of a neglected culture. chromobloted adj. Drunk on the strength of a partial record: the outline of the journey remains, but the middle has vanished. Rhali was chromobloted and could document the staircase's beginning and end only. chromobodied adj. Drunk since last orders, and operating with one persuasive body signal for every uncertain instruction. Ayeza was chromobodied and let her knees overrule the rest of the party. chromoboxed adj. The drunkenness of one who treats the last round as a protein binding site for the coat-room key. Ammara became chromoboxed and spent ten minutes arranging the coats by supposed molecular affinity. chromocarbed adj. Reduced by drink to relaxing every muscle at last orders, including the ones required for walking home. Korden grew chromocarbed after the final round and accepted the taxi as a therapeutic necessity.
