[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]

Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

[Spills a bit of his champagne. Wait what??]

[ sucks to be a human from earth right now,

sip. ]

[1145pm]

[ Sigh of relief! No sippy. ]

I couldn't afford it!

[ He's been calling the Auras magic since he got here so...

Fine!! He can make pink butterflies at home!! And cut off limbs with cauterizing flame—

sip... ]

[troublereduction]

Same. Though I guess I prob'ly wouldn't have gone unless it was like...I dunno, Arizei Academy or somethin'.

[troublereduction]

Stuff like college, or an academy. [ Day's world has those, if not in the same way some people might be thinking of them! ] Usually gotta pay to attend those, though.

( :pien:

There's a lot going on in him right now because he's never had like, an actual decent friend before, so hearing all this is... new. It's different than the way Ginger talks to him about things, and it feels different, too.

It's not like Mika sets out to feel guilty - but he can't deny that's where things end up, because death and injury are inevitable, and so are his failures, as a result. It's hard to detangle all of these things. )

... I can't promise anything.

( Literally and metaphorically. )

... But I can try.

( And that better count for something, because it's not like he can change his nature on a dime. )

[leewards]

Well then, my drink shall be untouched. I was taught at home.

[He doesn't even think there was something like an "academy" in the nearby town.]

[shortleash]

( Cutting in— )

—And you didn't say anything?!

( THE CAUSE IN QUESTION, OBLIVIOUS, )

[ LISTENING?????????? LISTENING????????????????? ]

[1145pm]

Ooh. That sounds important.

[ ?? ]

I don't know if I would've gone if I had the option either. I probably would've chosen to serve my King instead, anyway.

[troublereduction]

It's a fancy school for the arts, basically. Almost guaranteed to net you a patron or two if you make it out of there. [ Alas, Day took the practical route and went for an apprenticeship instead. ]

Your King?

[serenesinker]

[Yodarha mumbles to himself as he enters the bar:]

"Under 21 only?" What kind of drinkin' party is that? Wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on them just in case...

[Normally he'd be getting ready for bed at this time, but the call of alcohol (and his conscience) have him staying out later than normal. He'd pay for his sleep crimes in the morning, but that's fine.

Currently he's set up at one of the tables in the corner, glass of whiskey in hand. He isn't too interested in playing any of the drinking games, but he certainly is up for a chat if anyone wants to!]

[troublereduction]

Ain't surprisin' you got into a college or academy, I guess.

[mirristry]

[Once again, Phil flinches visibly, arms coming up to wrap around himself as though trying to shield himself from everyone's stares.]

I thought-- I thought it was just the consequence of overusing my magic...! I was sure it would come back once I'd gotten some rest...

[But, well. The rest is history.]

[troublereduction]

What about your— [ No, there are too many people here for him to say it, so he switches tracks. ]

Phil, that means your heart's unsettled. [ And...Day has suspected something was up for a while, ever since he carried Phil back to his room after the mission, but he thought it was mostly the illness and exhaustion taking its toll, not...

...Gods, he feels so stupid. ]

[mirristry]

[Yeah, he definitely can't look Day in the face right about now. Honestly, he's not sure whether that particular revelation is better or worse than some of the other things that he could have said under the circumstances...]

[troublereduction]

Truth or dare, Tatara?

[mirristry]

[Phil doesn't even need to read the titles to know what those are, because those cover illustrations sure are making it very clear. Has Phil ever actually read explicit sex in his life?

The answer would be 'no.']

O-oh... well... I definitely haven't read these...

[It is now time for Phil's Tomato Impression: The Sequel. Mistakes have been made on this day.]

[leewards]

Oh? Does that mean I win the dare? Heheh.

[Just as planned. He knew someone with Phil's personality wouldn't even give the book a second glance the moment he saw the cover. So Ithaqua tucks it into his hoodie.]

I suppose I shall return it to the library later, since you don't seem inclined to take it.

[1145pm]

Whoa, that's cool. I guess that makes sense...

[ If you had the skill for that kind of fancy skill! ]

Mmhmm, my King! The Third and Red King, Mikoto Suoh! I knew he was going to be great the moment I met him, so I chose to dedicate myself to him. Aaand...I was right!

[ much to mikoto's own chagrin, lol, lmao, ]

[1145pm]

Dare!

[impacter]

[pardon]

[impacter]

[Sorry, bud.]
