ice climbinged adj. Having drunk enough to regard every frozen surface as a mountaineering opportunity. Guinivere was ice climbinged and attempted the icy garden wall in formal stages. ice colded adj. The drunkenness of one who has become as approachable as a cold beer and considerably less coherent. Severo was ice colded and accepted the next round without appearing to hear it. ice cored adj. Slowed by drink to the pace at which the previous winter becomes a usable record. Lisset woke ice cored, reconstructing last night's weather from the layers of clothing on the floor. ice crawlered adj.

Reiden came downstairs ice crawlered, inching towards the kettle without once attempting flight. ice cream barred adj.

Jerimaine appeared ice cream barred at breakfast, rigidly guarding a melting sandwich from the dog. ice cream chaired adj. Sharpened by drink into a lightweight seat with no arms, little support and an unexpectedly circular outlook. Wonya was ice cream chaired and remained on the small stool throughout the discussion. ice cream changesed adj.

Drunk since last orders, and suffering a cold, concentrated pain behind the forehead by breakfast. Marsalis woke ice cream headached and refused the freezer, having learnt something overnight. ice cream makered adj.

Larae was ice cream parlored, offering imaginary customers a choice of toppings before coffee. ice cream parloured adj.

Nasser became ice cream parloured and asked the freezer cabinet whether it took contactless payments. ice cream popped adj.

Naunihal got ice cream popped and presented the frozen treat to the hostess as a diplomatic gift. ice cream sandwiched adj. Of a drinker who has been pressed between two incompatible accounts of the evening, both sweetened beyond recognition. Kollin was ice cream sandwiched between his receipt and the taxi driver's version of events. ice cream scooped adj.
