memory B celled adj. Slowed by drink to mounting a delayed but disproportionately vigorous response to each unexpected step. Keishauna became memory B celled on the stairs, reacting warmly to every misplaced foot. memory T celled adj. Drunk and responding more strongly to a familiar obstacle than to the original encounter. Lijana was memory T celled, having met the third stair before and distrusting it intensely. memory banked adj. Drunk to the point where balance is stored briefly, withdrawn suddenly, and not restored. Lameeka went memory banked halfway upstairs and spent the remainder of the climb negotiating withdrawals. memory barriered adj. Drunk enough to enforce a strict ordering of movements, none of which may occur before the last wobble. memory boxed adj. Drunk past the point of placing each embarrassing stumble somewhere it cannot be reopened tonight. memory carded adj. Drunk beyond the available capacity for directions, names, or the next flight of stairs. Clova was memory carded and asked the same landing to identify itself. memory cared adj. Drunk in a way that requires patient supervision whenever recollection and balance are requested together. Bhavin was memory cared after forgetting whether the staircase led up or had merely continued. memory cartridged adj. Drunk, with the result that recollection can be removed, replaced, and replayed without improving accuracy. Bryssia went memory cartridged and replayed the same explanation to every step. memory celled adj. Drunk to a degree that a long-forgotten misstep can suddenly provoke a full bodily response. Daxton became memory celled when the staircase recalled itself beneath his left foot. memory chipped adj. Drunk to the extent of installing temporary instructions that vanish whenever the stairs become relevant. Zaxton was memory chipped and repeatedly rebooted before the second landing. memory cored adj. Drunk on the strength of a permanent inner store of confidence, inaccessible during actual movement. Lapria was memory cored, certain of having mastered stairs without managing the first flight. memory distrust syndromed adj. Drunk since last orders, and doubtful that any sentence, footstep, or staircase has occurred as recalled. Radhika was memory distrust syndromed and disputed her own account of falling upwards. memory drived adj. Drunk by the third round, and carrying the evening's remaining recollections rapidly from one place to another. memory dumped adj. Drunk by closing time, and releasing every stored instruction at once, usually on the stairs. Marceda went memory dumped at the landing, announcing every balance correction simultaneously. memory effected adj. Still drunk, and steadily losing the capacity to recover balance after partial correction. memory enhancered adj. Too drunk to retain a useful fact without immediately improving it into a longer, less accurate speech. Erinmarie became memory enhancered, improving each forgotten fact into a longer speech.
