red sandersed adj. Of a drinker: richly coloured, therapeutically inclined, and unsuitable for further polishing. Daisee became red sandersed and treated the mahogany cabinet as a source of traditional medicine. red sauced adj. Drunk past the point of distinguishing supper from the condiment accompanying it, and requesting both on toast. Ava-jay woke red sauced, spreading yesterday’s tomato accompaniment over toast with solemn precision. red scared adj. Drunk beyond recognising political history, and still warning the breakfast table about an approaching ideological threat. Lounell woke red scared and searched the kitchen for evidence of a communist takeover. red scarfed adj. Drunk in a way that leaves the morning after feeling like compulsory youth organisation, with a neckerchief tied too tightly. Brecklynn arrived red scarfed, wearing a tea towel at the throat as though reporting for parade. red seaperched adj. Drunk, with the result that the morning after finds you red-faced, motionless, and apparently adapted to cold water. Henach spent breakfast red seaperched, staring into the sink without acknowledging land-based conversation. red shaled adj. Drunk to a degree that leaves you layered, brittle, and reddish about the edges by morning. Ixchell woke red shaled, flaking yesterday’s confidence onto the pillowcase. red shifted adj. Drunk to the extent of receding from ordinary conversation, with every explanation stretched towards the far end of the morning. Jawonna woke red shifted, answering simple questions from an increasingly distant point. red shirted adj. Drunk in a way that leaves you cheerfully expendable when the group divides for taxis. Enaaya got red shirted and was volunteered to explain the missing coat at reception. red silky oaked adj. Drunk on the strength of yesterday’s bottle, with a tall, branching manner and a distinctly polished morning-after composure. Luray stood red silky oaked beside the kettle, branching into several unrelated accounts of supper. red silvered adj. Drunk since last orders, and left by morning with a ruby complexion and the uncertain value of an ore sample. Sunny appeared red silvered at breakfast, darkening whenever anyone mentioned last night’s receipts. red slawed adj. Drunk by the third round, and by morning reduced to cabbage, vinegar, ketchup, and a sharp recollection of nothing. Zamarrion woke red slawed and requested something acidic before attempting conversation. red slender lorised adj. Drunk by closing time, and by morning reduced to enormous eyes, delicate movements, and a long pause before daylight. Gatlen woke red slender lorised, gripping the curtains and blinking at the modest sun. red snaked adj. Still drunk, and moving through the morning in a long, cautious line whenever anyone mentions last night. Somaria remained red snaked beneath the duvet, emerging only when breakfast was placed within reach. red snappered adj. Too drunk to manage the morning without a sudden red-faced bite at whoever asks how the evening went. Stephon woke red snappered and treated a polite question about taxis as an accusation. red snowed adj. Sufficiently drunk to wake pink, granular, and convinced that the bedroom has acquired a tropical climate. Milen woke red snowed, claiming the pink marks on the pillow were evidence of seasonal weather. red sorrelled adj. Having drunk enough to greet the morning with a tart expression, a dark red complexion, and medicinal confidence. Mikee arrived red sorrelled, insisting that sour tea represented a complete recovery.
