icesheeted adj. Drunk to the point where the room must conduct its social life around your broad, flat stillness. Khristian went icesheeted beside the fire, obliging Ophelia to relay every question. iceshelfed adj. Drunk beyond conversation, floating at its edge while others maintain the surrounding social structure. Anjolie went iceshelfed after supper, leaving Ousainou to preserve the evening's momentum. iceskated adj. Drunk on the strength of a precarious forward motion that leaves companions managing the collisions. Sidrah went iceskated between tables, while Jamond apologised to each person struck. icespared adj. You are drunk and glittering with a hard, transparent certainty that leaves companions unable to alter your shape. Harith became icespared over cards, while Xirena watched his fixed opinions accumulate. icestoned adj. Drunk, with the result that the morning finds you pale, mineral and reluctant to move. Symphany sat icestoned beside the radiator, holding toast as though it were laboratory equipment. icestormed adj. Of a drinker who has frozen the room's ordinary manners on contact, leaving everyone choosing their footing. Hitney became icestormed during the introductions, and Ajuni redirected each approaching guest. iceteroided adj. Drunk to a degree that sends you into a cold, eccentric orbit around the breakfast table. Edona spent the morning iceteroided, circling the marmalade without ever landing on toast. icetimed adj. Drunk on the strength of yesterday's exertions, still allotting the morning to slow circuits of the kitchen. Kailene woke icetimed and treated the journey to the kettle as a sporting event. icetrayed adj. Drunk on the strength of several small, orderly measures, each apparently easy to separate from the next. Donley grew icetrayed and placed each remaining olive in its own glass. icewatered adj. Sufficiently drunk to regard chilled water as a complete account of one's remaining needs. Hannaan was icewatered and declined the taxi in favour of another glass of water. icewayed adj. Drunk since last orders, and left with a narrow, eroded route from bed to water. Lesheka woke icewayed, following the worn channel between the bedroom and the tap. icewined adj. Of a drinker: sweetened by alcohol, preserved past usefulness, and most agreeable when served quietly. Niamh was icewined and sat through the speeches with unusual composure. icewomanned adj. Drunk by the third round, and by morning conducting the household as though trading in blocks of ice. Tassa woke icewomanned and delivered frozen peas to everyone before accepting any herself. iceworked adj. Drunk by closing time, and subjected by morning to the slow, grinding action of a glacier. Sabha woke iceworked, finding the pillow rearranged by forces too gradual to observe. iceworksed adj. Still drunk, and by morning operating like a small factory devoted entirely to producing ice for your head. Margaux was still iceworksed, manufacturing fresh cold compresses before attempting tea. ich-lauted (/ˈɪçlaʊ̯td/) adj. Sufficiently drunk to greet the morning with a German consonant whenever asked how you are. Mauri woke ich-lauted, answering the breakfast question with a prolonged rasp.
