How do you order whiskey with water?
Do you mean, how do you ask for it in a bar, or which do you pour into the glass first? Or something else?
I don't know the answers to either of those, but I'm curious about the question.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That's why you'll never the The One, padawan.
You know, I've always known that. And realizing that made me kind of sad.
I guess I mean I envy certainty in some way. Because I know my brain just isn't wired that way. Even at my most religious phase (when I was 12), I once had a strong feeling I'd be an atheist by the time I was an adult. Which is what happened.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You don't exactly have to be an athiest to find Camping nuts.

You know, when I believed Camping was completely convinced in tomorrow's Rapture, I kinda' felt sorry for him (well, I might have if he wasn't so obnoxious in his beliefs). But knowing he just cynically exploited his follower for gain? Well, now I hate him.

Are you certain?
I'd order "whiskey and water" but I'm not sure what that would get me or if there would need to be further clarification. Used to be "whiskey and branch water" was a thing, but I'm not sure (a) what that was or (b) if that terminology is still in use.

I'll pretend that actually closes.

What is it? I've always wondered.
Eta: I only know it from something I read as a kid in which some guy complained about how people talked about drinks and how such fanciful descriptions ought to be taken literally, that would show them.

What is branch water? I've always assumed it was something like creek water, because I've heard of small streams being called branches. But if it is, euw. I know what happens in streams.
