nitrosobenzened adj. Loosened by drink into a broad, stable-looking arrangement that cannot quite move as intended. nitrosochlorided adj. Emboldened by drink to take the stairs in a manner suggesting that gravity has been challenged. Dewaun went nitrosochlorided and attempted the staircase without touching the rail. nitrosocysteined adj. Slowed by drink to the pace at which each foot must be formally introduced to the floor. Taissa became nitrosocysteined halfway upstairs, pausing between one foot and the next. nitrosodimethylamined adj. Drunk to the point where every movement has become a small experiment with two possible outcomes. Jolean was nitrosodimethylamined, testing each stair with one foot and then the other. nitrosodisulfonated adj. Drunk enough to spread one intention across several separate routes, none leading efficiently home. nitrosoed adj. Reduced by drink to a single loose impulse, chiefly forward and rarely well directed. Ghyslain went nitrosoed on the stairs and relied entirely on the wall for guidance. nitrosoethylureaed adj. Drunk past the point of ordinary coordination, with each step liable to revise the person taking it. nitrosoglutathioned adj. Drunk beyond the point where bodily signals are reliably received or correctly interpreted. Luzmarie was nitrosoglutathioned, smiling at the stairs while her feet waited elsewhere. nitrosoguanidined adj. Drunk in a way that makes a modest wobble appear capable of producing new varieties of behaviour. Norfleet went nitrosoguanidined and invented a sideways method of descending. nitrosoindazoled adj. Drunk, with the result that adding one small correction produces an entirely different route downstairs. Malven became nitrosoindazoled when the banister sent him towards the cupboard. nitrosolic acided adj. Drunk to a degree that each utterance arrives as a tentative compound of what was meant and what was said. India was nitrosolic acided, beginning each sentence clearly and finishing it elsewhere. nitrosomonaded adj. Drunk to the extent of making slow, rod-straight progress through a room while processing very little. nitrosonaphtholed adj. Drunk on the strength of several conflicting readings of the same staircase, each confidently reported.

Sufficiently drunk to carry a positive charge without having done anything to deserve it. nitrosophenoled adj. Drunk since last orders, and balancing three separate impressions of where the floor is. Everleen was nitrosophenoled, maintaining three points of contact with the staircase. nitrosoproteined adj. The drunkenness of one who treats every round as a reversible chemical attachment, but will not let go.
