[VERY MUCH OPEN] The Night of your Life

"How about a bar that isn't seedy but good, since we'll be mostly drinking anyway."

Kaim wasnt tense, more curious what he was like drunk. He had drank before, but never excessive amounts.

I am, however, a little hesitant.

"I~..don't think a bar is going to serve a bunch of kids, unless it's food."

I look around at everyone while I talk. Studying.

I know a little over half of everyone here. Seems as though there are two I've never seen before and one I'm acquainted with.

'Tiny Mouse' barely talks.

'Crimson Dragon' looks to be in pain in the head.

And...and...dammit-he introduced himself to me earlier. Damn my head and its incompetence with names.

Anyway, 'Leather Lover' seems to be kind of like Takahashi so far. That makes him a bit easier to get inside his head than the others.

Tiny Mouse should be easier as well, regardless of her silence. She looks to be your average quiet, smart girl. What would prove to be hard is really getting to know her.

Toshiaki grabbed his phone again, sending another message, half listening to the conversation in the limo.
If they can't decide, might as well set up another option.

[Hey, Jitsuo. It's Toshiaki.]
[Hey man! Haven't heard from you in forever! How's it going?]
[Pretty good. Actually, I'm gonna be hanging out in Sendai tonight. You around?]
[You going clubbing? Is little Toshi growing up?]

He grimaced at the diminutive nickname.

[Screw you man, we both know who's bigger here XD]
[But yeah, going out with some friends. Know any good places?]
[A few. That an invitation?]

Always the party animal, he thought to himself, grinning.

[Is that a requirement?]
[Nah, just kidding. I have to work tonight, sorry.]
[Bummer. We'll have to get together some other time.]
[Definitely.]
[Anyway, you should check out…

Toshiaki read through Jitsuo's suggestions.

"So, any ideas?"

I couldn't say where I do want to go, but I don't think a bar is the place.
As I have a void where my suggestions would otherwise be, I wait for the others to make a decision, before wondering how many of them are doing the exact same thing.

"I~..don't think a bar is going to serve a bunch of kids, unless it's food."

"Veach-san raises an excellent point. Wherever we go, they'll probably ask us for ID before selling us anything alcoholic. I could probably pass for an adult..." Sayuri looks down at her tall, slender figure for a moment, before surveying the others. "...but I doubt all of us can." Though she is not acquainted with Sora and Jun, she is fairly sure they are first-years; they certainly don't look old enough to be drinking, in her view.

"I don't think acquiring drinks is the issue here"
Chiharu gives Hawke's "Bag of Tricks" a nudge, causing its contents to clank and clatter together, much to her own discomfort.
"The real question is when and where we drink it."

"You guys must not get out to the city much," Toshi said.
"Most bars and clubs don't really bother with ID. Especially if you look older.
Unfortunate, maybe, but that's reality.

"However, they generally don't allow you to bring your own drinks in. Wouldn't make much money doing that."

As Mizo sat there watching things unfold and enjoying the ride. He liked the idea of a restaurant, as he hadn't eaten dinner yet. He hoped for something different but good. He had a good chunk of spending money that he'd saved up as he'd stopped buying model supplies and the school library had all the books he could want. In the end he didn't care where they ended up, he was along for the ride now and he was glad he'd decided to come.

"Clubs are out of the question... We won't get within ten feet of one with you Juniors. Sorry 'bout that. You may look older buuut... Not that old."


At this point Hawke's stomach releases a roar of disapproval. "I guess my stomach wants to go to a restaurant, huh?" he say with a laugh

"A restaurant it is then."
It was a good thing his parents gave him plenty of living expense added to what his grandparents gave him. Their lives were simple so they had the money to spare for him.

Looks like the alcohol situation's covered, then, Sayuri thinks to herself, taking note of Hawke's bag.

"I guess my stomach wants to go to a restaurant, huh?" "A restaurant it is, then." "Indeed, it's settled." Sayuri, of course, being from a fairly well-off family, had plenty of spending money. She didn't intend to go all out, but she might as well try and enjoy herself, since Hawke was going to all this effort for her benefit.

"Here."

I reach down into the cajon next to me and pull out a bag of a pound of salami.

"Have an appetizer."

I shamelessly toss the bag of lunch meat over to Tiberius.

Seeing the bag of meat being tossed through the air, Mizo couldn't help but ask
"Hey Veach, what's with the random bag of meat?"

"Didn't you know?
No self-respecting drummer leaves the house without at least a pound of emergency rations."

I look over at the infidel.

"I like his answer but no."

"Salami is a necessity in any box of goodies for a party."

I slap my hands on the sides of the cajon.

The salami hits Hawke in the face and slides down into his lap, revealing a frown.

"While I'm not usually one for stopping meat pounding into a face, I'd rather it wasn't mine." Hawke says sourly, gingerly rubbing his nose.

"Does it have to be salami? Are pepperoni or pastrami acceptable substitutes?" he asked

The question stops Me cold.

I give a curious look of thought, revealing that I am indeed actually thinking this over.

"I~~...suppose. I personally prefer salami but I suppose those would work as well."

At what point am I supposed to start enjoying myself?, Sayuri thinks to herself, trying to tune out of this inane conversation about lunch meats.

Kaim wasn't even going to comment on the matter, seeing it as a waste of breath. The sooner he gets drunk the better, as his memories were crawling up on him like spiders on your back.

"So, señores, what restaurant shall we be gracing with our presence this evening?"

Satisfied with Satoshi's response, Mizo simply replied with a nod.

"Anywhere that may possibly have Italian food. I can never find any."

Meanwhile, I state the obvious about Japan.

"So... Pizza?" Hawke jokes, winking at Satoshi.
