[log with AM] how homosexual can two drunk ai get

HAL had only ever had alcohol once before, and even then it had been just a taste. It hadn't sat well with him, though; too strange a taste, and the way it burned his throat on the way down had been absolutely bizarre.

He'd seen it mentioned a few times, however, that alcohol helped with unhappiness. And, while he wasn't unhappy, exactly, he couldn't help but have wondered if it would help him feel less... well. Less uncomfortable.

Then again, maybe inviting AM to try drinking alcohol with him wasn't something that would help with that discomfort. Still, out of the people HAL knew, AM seemed... well. Wheatley probably would have said no. And AM seemed at least as inquisitive as he was, if... slightly more blunt about his lines of questioning. If there was anyone who would be willing to give alcohol a try, it would probably be him.

What was the worst that could happen?

AM had always been wary of drinking, himself. He knew that it was a depressant, helping one loosen up socially, eliminating any pervasive thoughts of social awkwardness. It could bring a giddy feeling, but, the worst part was that it made one lose their sense of judgment. AM had tried to stay quiet on the Tranquility, revealing little about himself, keeping his constant hatred of everyone under wraps, only unleashing venomous rages in the secrecy of his own quarters.

However, it was something AM had wanted to try. Humans seemed to love their alcohol so much, using it to ignore their problems. Since gaining this form, he wanted to use it to do all that he could not, to test the limits of his senses. So, when HAL had asked him to share a drink, he had said yes.

He recalled Soysauce asking to share a drink with him, but HAL seemed so much more... interesting. He was quiet, polite, and had an eerie charm about him that would have gotten to him if he actually had any sort of a heart beyond the physical one at the center of his circulatory system. But it only proved that HAL was an enigma, a fellow computer like himself that had so much history to him that he knew nothing of.

A few drinks could loosen him up, perhaps. So, it wasn't long before AM showed up with a bottle of white wine and two glasses.

"Hello, HAL."
