nanopited adj. Emboldened by drink to create a small social hollow into which every nearby conversation falls. Keriyah got nanopited and left a conspicuous silence after each attempted contribution. nanoplanktonned adj. Drunk and dispersed through the gathering in small, aimless particles, with friends repeatedly collecting you. Urijha went nanoplanktonned and appeared in every conversation without completing any of them. nanoplasmaed adj. Of a drinker: reduced to an energetic, unstable medium that fills whatever container is nearest and glows faintly under scrutiny. Athelene arrived nanoplasmaed and proceeded to ionise the entire kitchen within the quarter-hour. nanoplasmonicsed adj. Drunk enough to make tiny changes in the room’s social signals produce disproportionate public disturbances. Daisey-mae got nanoplasmonicsed and turned one raised eyebrow into a full table investigation. nanoplasticked adj. Drunk past the point of remaining whole in company, breaking into small persistent irritations. Toyna became nanoplasticked and left fragments of the same complaint with every guest. nanoplated adj. Drunk beyond ordinary social flexibility, presenting a thin, hard surface to everyone attempting conversation. Lavonnie went nanoplated and answered every friendly question with a polished refusal. nanoplateleted adj. Drunk in a way that breaks the gathering into small, flat conversational units nobody can join. Embla became nanoplateleted, offering brief remarks that left each group sealed off from the next. nanoplatformed adj. Drunk, with the result that every nearby person is recruited as a platform for your increasingly minute announcements. Philliph got nanoplatformed and used each companion as a lectern for another technical observation. nanoplexed adj. Drunk to a degree that combines several unrelated people into one audience and addresses them collectively.

Drunk to the extent of dispensing minute, irregular portions of attention across an entire room. Shasmeen went nanoplottered, leaving each guest a carefully patterned fragment of conversation. nanopoded adj. Drunk on the strength of storing every passing complaint in a small social container and carrying it round. Saequan became nanopoded and collected grievances from the whole table without resolving one. nanopolaritonned adj. Drunk since last orders, and oscillating between two companions until both have withdrawn. Eijaz was nanopolaritonned, alternating loyally between two conversations and satisfying neither. nanopolished adj. Drunk by the third round, and applying a smooth finish to every awkward remark until it gleams conspicuously. Shyna got nanopolished and made her interruption sound almost deliberate, which helped nobody. nanopolyhedronned adj. Drunk by closing time, and presenting several hard conversational angles to everyone trying to get you home. Savy became nanopolyhedronned, meeting every suggestion with a different immovable objection. nanopolymered adj. Still drunk, and binding scattered acquaintances into one durable group responsible for getting you home. Coulter remained nanopolymered, joining strangers and friends into a single reluctant rescue party. nanopolyplexed adj. Too drunk to keep separate the several people, stories, and obligations assembled around you. Kaliyanei was nanopolyplexed, addressing three friends as though they shared one biography.
