[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]

[ … Tch… ]

I dare you to only speak in rhyme for the next five minutes.

[1145pm]

Aww, that's really hard though. Can you give me another one?

[lustro]

That’s not easy??

[ He tried to give Tatara an easy one! ]

Fiiine. I dare you to compliment two - no, three people in this room.

[1145pm]

[ IT'S HARD ]

Hmmm... Okay! Do you count, Ginger?

[ He places a hand on his shoulder. ]

You care a lot, you're very kind, and you have a really big heart. Ahhh... You're such a nice guy.

[ Patpat. And he walks away to find others... ]

[lustro]

I really don’t.

[ Don’t what? Care a lot? Have a big heart? He’s definitely doesn’t think he’s as kind as people believe. ]

I’m really not. Now shoo, go do your dare.

[ Waving Tatara away. That pat didn’t make him the least bit happy. (Lie.) Or embarrassed. (Lie,,,) ]

[1145pm]

[ look at this liar ...

After complimenting Cid and Syrlya (which I'm not linking because I'm mobile), Tatara comes running back. ]

Done! Truth or dare?

[lustro]

[ where who what ]

Dare.

[1145pm]

I dare you to stand on a table and sing a song to everyone about how much fun you're having.

[ ^_^

Eastern wizard torture. ]

[lustro]

What - ? Ugh, fine, but there's no way I'm drunk enough for that yet, so I'll do it later.

[ Starts chugging... ]

[1145pm]

Awww, do it now! Otherwise I have to stand next to you for the rest of the night until you do it!

[ It's not a rule no but he just made it up now and he thinks it's fair.

Also he's pretty sure this would piss off both Mika and Khun so hurry up— ]

[lustro]

That guy will come and collect you way before that.

[ Everyone who pisses Ginger off = that guy. ]

……… Alright, but since you got an amended truth option, you have to dance with me.

[1145pm]

Nuh uh! You gave me the change so that means I get to change it for you!

[ Also he's pretty sure that would still piss off "that guy" ("which guy" take your pick)—

Ginger has unlocked Tatara's whiny child mode, and it shows on his face. ]

Sing Mika-chan a sappy love song in front of everyone in the bar!

[ he's stuck on the singing, ]

[lustro]

[ SEE IF HE'S EVER NICE TO TATARA EVER AGAIN he got played ]

[lustro]

[ But he picks up a spoon and gets on the table, though Tatara hadn't specified that in his new request. (Ginger is just stupid and it can't be cured.) Once he makes eye contact with Mika, he - just goes for it.

And he's nervous and he's shakes (a little), but he pretends he's only singing to Mika - it... helps. A lot. He sings, shyly, an amateur version of a love song he's heard once before, using the spoon as a mic. It's not in a language Mika speaks, he thinks, but he hopes the feelings reach him anyway. A slow, mellow song where the highs fade too early and the lows are husky and faint.

And when he's done, he smiles softly just for Mika, a little bashful and a lot adoring. They probably get lost in each other's eyes for way too long - before he blinks and remembers himself. Ugh.

Then he scowls at Tatara. ]

I'm disowning you.

[shortleash]

( Mika, preoccupied doing whatever Mikas are doing (getting embarrassed doing truth or dare), locks eyes with Ginger easy - his instinct whenever he sees him - but what he doesn't expect is for him to start singing to him??? hello ????

It's not hard to guess this is a dare - he can ever so vaguely hear how nervous Ginger is, when he hones his senses on Ginger alone through the crowd - but the song itself— is sweet; the feelings convey through Ginger's voice, even without Mika's window in. Mika's self conscious, with there being a crowd about them, with them being in public, but - it's sweet, it's sweet, and Mika can't help but adore anything Ginger gifts him.

Mika definitely gets stuck gazing at him, unsure at first how he should - wants to - respond, but flustered adoration returned in his gaze.

Eventually, Ginger does turn back, and that seems to be that - but he will find the strange feeling of something in his palm - should he look down, he'll find a small rose in his palm, one of the ones they've been raising together - its petals closed, but unfurling, open-hearted, beneath Ginger's gaze. )

[1145pm]

[ When Ginger is finished, Tatara gives a little clap. There's delight written all over his face. Ginger did it!! What a nice song, too!

Except— ]

Hm?

[ He pauses mid clap, smile frozen on his face. ]

You owned me before?

[lustro]

[ A funny look passes over his face that’s confusion and dismay both. ]

You’re our Sage?

[ Wasn’t he just disowned? Guess not. ]

[1145pm]

[ Tatara assumes his very serious thinking pose.


... ]








I thought I was the dad in this relationship.

[lustro]

[ Literally just full body turns away from Tatara and says nothing. ]

[1145pm]

[ help

Tatara's expression twists in amusement but he doesn't make a sound. Sorry Ginger...

He'll quietly whirl around and tiptoe away. Bye....... ]
