"You've got to be kidding me," Qubit groaned under his breath, dragging a hand down his face. Oktoberfest? Really? It figured Newt would decide something like that on ten seconds' notice, but the truly incredible thing was that Hermann was going along with it. What was he supposed to do, just leave them there and come back later to pick them up? (Theoretically Hermann could just come back the way he came, but could he teleport Newt with him? What would even happen if he tried it after drinking? There was no telling if they could get back to De Chima reliably on their own.) Rescuing a friend was one thing, but picking them up from a party actually did sound like a pain.

Maybe he could talk them out of it. At least one of them had to realize this was a bad idea, didn't they? "It's ten in the morning!" he exclaimed, incredulous that he was even having to point that out. "You can't be seriously considering this. You're just going to lose the whole day, and that's in the best case."

He was... not factoring in that it was Saturday. Or that most people took Saturdays off. Or that it was not ten AM in Germany. Or even whether he'd like to go to Oktoberfest himself - somehow it hadn't really occurred to him that he was invited as more than the designated driver.
