Xenogears E19: Do Men Drink Hard Seltzer? [Men of the Sea]

We. Are men. Of the sea. Or at least we try to be. Between the shards of these emotions we're discovering men who love to drink, clarifying the way to say words, debating more origin species of demi-humans, talking through the safety of combining inebriation and work assignments, learning a new card game, seeing what happens when antagonists are consumed by rage, and recognizing that treasure and people are both treasures. We don't know if the Captain is dosing his crew but we do know that you should never get wasted in an elevator.
