Description
Helen: If you weren't one of my best friends, you would be flying out the closed window now.Hyde: I didn't mean it literally, of course! Don't be touchy.
Helen: You are digging yourself deeper.
Ah, what a charmer. He'd probably treat a duchess as a flower girl.
Do I need to re-introduce TFLN?
Yes, always!
(316):
That's because, tragically, I adore whores.
Have I mentioned that after my last absinth night, I started shipping it? I don't know how it happened, but I get legit feels from then on.
(Okay, there were too many things wrong with these two sentences...)

Them getting drunk in a bar. 
(Also - Hyde, this is why you have to pay women to be with you.

Yesss.
Them getting drunk in a bar wasn't a new scene though.
(Except for fangirls.)

It's not?
(Not even they would tolerate him for long... I hope.

It was my first one for them.

Oh yeah, the one with the drinking competition!

The one where Helen was excited to win, yes.

Barely, by the look of it.

It's not a challenge if you can't lose.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe according to your headcanon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, maybe. I dunno how it is for others.

I think she can get drunk, but she doesn't drink often and always with a measure, otherwise she risks losing control of herself.

A drinking contest can be lost also when you proclaim you can't go on, whatever the reason.

Hey, I said she can get drunk.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...that's true!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, really, it depends on the type of alcohol and how used she is to it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A thousand year old wine is what she is used to, I'd say.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That exactly. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is a HILARIOUS image!

Mr. Herbert doesn't think so.

Oh dear. Dealing with a sober Helen is hard enough, but drunk...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or! Or maybe that happened after she stole all his money and wanted to celebrate!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alone?
Well, not that it's unlikely...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It'd be only for a week, until she builds up tolerance, and after that - PUB TIME WOHOO~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know where exactly was it mentioned, but Helen canonically went into pubs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you mean her forays into the poor neighborhoods, yeah - and she was quite young at the time!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now that you mention it, she managed everything at a really young age- and all on her own, too!
It really makes one wonder just what kind of education did she have from baby to young teenage years.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I told you she knew what she was doing.

Which is really early... genius kid, nuff said.

This is why Machen never had her appear in person - he couldn't think of any lines that were clever enough for her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He should've asked Oscar Wilde.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He wouldn't've let him kill Helen off like that though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He would've at least given her a more logical reason, and not just because a dude told her he had heard gossip.

Speaking of which, that death reminded me of another mythological beast lately - the Sphinx. She devoured everyone that did not known the answer to her riddle, but when one guessed right, she threw herself off a cliff... despite having wings, she died. It was because of the defeat. We may never know why she did it, it wasn't logical- by human logic, anyway.
Maybe Machen wanted to do something simila, to further rub in 'you will never fully understand her'.

That... actually makes a surprising amount of sense.

Or the Fates.
