zenderael_mmo | [Victor/Ashtaroth/Chisaki]

Who: Victor, Ashtaroth, Chisaki
When: Thursday the 11th, at night!
Where: A bar in the Nenakret.
Before/After: After Chisaki's e-mail to Victor.
Warnings: TBD. Probably swearing because Chisaki.

[A little bit of conferring with Victor led to an amazing plan: GETTING DRUNK. Chisaki is looking forward to this, even if she has no earthly clue whether molavvas can do that or if it takes epic amounts of booze to affect them. Whatever, she has loot stolen from druids from the war and nothing to spend it on. Booze time.]

[She stands outside of one of the Nenakret's bars. News of the war meant the curfew was relaxed through the weekend, for celebrations to occur, which Saftans and French are doing happily. She leans up against the wall, arms crossed over her chest. She has a black, form-fitting shirt and baggy Saftan pants on, instead of her usual gear. She's bathed and washed too. She feels almost good.]

[It's easy to push the bad parts of what happened, everything with Ravindra, the lack of communication with Nova, to the back of her mind. It's time for drinking!]

[Wibble. :( He lowers his head to the bar again.]

I just wanted to be responsible.

[A general statement. Victor why are you such a sad and sentimental drunk]

My lips keep tingling.

Wha-? Oh... oh, there there. You're plenty responsible. [ what kind of drunk is she, even? maybe she's just drunk. she goes back to stroking his hair ] You can be drunk and responsible.

[ right? ]

Right?

[ she looks at chisaki. right?

the statement is a little confusing. ] Hm? Are you cold?

Alcohol messes with your lips sometimes?

[She glances at Ash. Did Ash want to know if people can be responsible while drunk? Well, thankfully, she can lie.]

They can be responsible as all hell!

Sometimes. [Preemptively defense:] It's not that uncommon.

[But Victor can't lie!]

No. What? No. Name one good decision anyone ever made while drunk.

Maybe you need to drink some water? Or wash your face? I don't know much about drunkenness.

Because I'm not drunk.

[ whoa okay two conflicting accounts, though victor's seems more reliable ]

... you did just put a steak in your jacket.

[ that didn't sound like a good decision in the least. ]

I drink more when I'm drunk! That's responsible!

[She doesn't believe you! She is SO responsible, you guys, you don't even know.]

I mostly pay my rent!

[Blink. Victor gets up to stare at Chisaki.]

You get drunk every time you pay rent?

[He doesn't not believe that...]

It is sad but it's not that bad, to pay rent, is it?...

What? No! But paying rent is responsible. And I get drunk sometimes. So you know, drunk equals responsible.

[Sip.]

Sometimes. It's science.

No it's not.

[He's idly rubbing his thumb over his lip, but stops himself, self conscious. It's really not that uncommon okay.]

It doesn't count if you're not drunk!

Drunk is how bar fights start with the sort of partner of your almost ex-boyfriend.

What?

I second Ashy here: WHAT.

What.

[He looks between them both. What do you mean what!]

We were never really-- we could have been, but then I was in exile. And disappeared for a year. Then we couldn't be seen together. And there was someone else? It was open. But I couldn't really... and he didn't want... I don't know. He picked him over me.

So I started talking to my player.

[...]

It's complicated.

[He should have started it and ended it with that, in retrospect.]

[ oh.

well.

this is a revelation.

not a good revelation.

she stares at him. she didn't even realize there had been someone like that in his history.

which is dumb.

because she's dumb.

and maybe kind of drunk. ]

... oh.

[ ...she takes up her drink again and sticks her straw in her mouth and turns towards the bar ]

[...uh]

[THIS IS AWKWARD. If Chisaki was sober, she'd walk away from this with a paper thin excuse because Ash is clearly off put and that gets awkward. But hey, she likes Victor.]

[She even likes Ash. She's fun to mess with. That counts. Victor's fun to mess with. Well...]

[Logic dictates she change the subject and unite them. But all she can do is mutual outrage.]

Last time I went on a real date with a guy, we made out in his car and I hit the parking brake when we were doing shit, and the car rolled down a hill and smashed into a tree?

[Drinking in his condition has turned out to be a rather terrible combination actually. The longer they go without comment the redder he gets, and a simple 'oh' isn't enough to stop it.]

[Chisaki, you are a bro.]

A car? Aren't those dangerous?

I think that's what mauled Rhys...

[ chisaki's comment transfers victor's blush to her and she nearly spits her drink out ] Wha-??

[ omg how can you talk so naturally about 1) making out and 2) vaguely imagined car accidents!

she looks at victor ] B-but they need someone to operate them...?

[She's here to help, Victor.]

Yeah, but neither of us had our hands on the wheel.

[He doesn't really remember the details, just "cars did it".]

I think I'll stick to mounts. They sound more predictable.

[ha. ha.]

[ she has got no answer to any of this. why weren't your hands on the wh- omg no don't go there.

she sips her drink again. she has nothing to add to this conversation. ]

Good plan.

[She nods sagely.]

And if you fall asleep, some of them are intelligent enough to know where to go.

Usually.

... I still think the side trip to the coastal islands was on purpose.

[Ash has gotten quiet though... ~~Because you're a big dumb idiot, Victor~~]

Getting tired?

I've only ever been on a wolf. And Bonecrusher. [ mumbled around the straw, more to herself than to either of them, she sucks on it, a forlorn expression on her face when she hits bottom. third drink down. ]

...hm? Oh. Ummm... [ she does feel suddenly tired. maybe it's just wanting to get out of this situation, though she wouldn't be aware of that in the least. jealousy is a very tiring emotion! ] Yeah, I think so. Sorry. [ now she feels even worse because this was supposed to be his night out with a friend and here she is, ruining it. ]

I'll stay until you're done?

I'm getting pretty drunk, so if you guys wanna call it a night...

We're not here to pass out.

[Pause. He looks to Chisaki.]

Right?

Anyway-- [Ash again.] Let's get you home.
