anyway, he looks at the bulb, and then looks up at amos, and then looks back at it. and...peers inside at the terrifyingly orange liquid. his eyebrows are definitely in danger of vanishing into his hairline.
he then looks, mournfully, at the perfectly good coffee he hasn't yet finished. and, just as mournfully, sets it aside.
and picks up the bulb. and makes as if to gulp it all down.
of course he chokes and goes down pretty quickly, because jesus fuck that is disgusting. ]
[ like, in general. fuck this taste, fuck this prank, fuck you amos, and fuck you alex!!!!! fuck....his life. that bulb is getting slammed back on the table and he is fumbling for whatever leftover coffee he had in a sad attempt to save himself. ]
Tell him he's fired. [ wait, also, ] And so are you.
[ this might be more convincing if he weren't guzzling that coffee and coughing, GOD HE HATES YOU. ]
[ it's maybe a credit that he actually takes the bulb from amos after that BASE FUCKIN BETRAYAL but he definitely gives it an aggrieved look before drinking any.
[The flattest of flat looks, the sort only Amos is capable, where it can become apparent that wind can blow through his skull, unheeded by emotional boundary.]
