Party Time!
Who: Everyone who heard, basically.
What: Kiriko's Party
Where: Event hall by the dorms
When: 8pm Saturday
Why: Birthday celebrations!

The party's turnout was roughly as expected, and the presence of such a lively crowd was enough to make anyone (but especially Kiriko) thankful for the fact that the event hall had air conditioning. Tables were scattered about, some of them holding food for the guests and all of them clear of the dance floor. A school-aged boy with a nervous look to him was at the head of the dancefloor acting as DJ and doing a reasonably good job at keeping everyone pleased, mostly by way of immediately playing any song requested that had not been previously blacklisted by Kiriko. A karaoke system and open mic were set up, but no one had gotten quite drunk enough to approach the stage yet. The much-fretted over decorations had gone up last minute and the sparkling blue butterflies dangling from the ceiling or stuck to walls here and there caught and reflected the dim light.

Kiriko sat at the head table with a gaggle of girls, several from 1-A, and was chatting and laughing easily with them. She was keeping a sharp eye out for anybody who looked like they might break something or cause other kinds of trouble, occasionally turning from the conversation to crane her head and look out over the partygoers, but seemed quite pleased and relaxed nonetheless.

Then he peered through a window, saw there was still a fair bit of food left on the table, and walked back inside...

And found himself face to face with a growing circle of folks intent on playing some sort of game. He frowned at the lot of them and sidestepped over to the dressed table to grab a handful of sushi and start popping them into his mouth. Better to scarf down now before having to shuffle off and find the little blonde girl he was supposed to be babysitting.

Or maybe he’d just skip it all and wander off back to his house.

Mouth stuffed full of rice and fish, Reizo lifted his hands up to wipe them on his silver dress shirt, stopped, and instead looked around for a napkin. When he found himself without one, he wiped his hands instead on the nearest person he could find.

Masami didn't have much experience with this sort of party - sure, she'd been to one or two in the past, but it wasn't really her thing. However, she figured that since Kiriko had invited her, it would be polite to at least show up for a little while. If she happened to enjoy herself enough to stay for the whole thing, then that was a nice bonus.

Masami wore a long black evening gown with side slits in the skirt. Though she did kind of like how she looked in it, Masami still thought it was a little too tight and maybe a little too revealing. In one hand, she carried her gift for Kiriko, a fox-shaped pewter necklace.

Having arrived late, Masami could see that most of the other attendants had already indulged themselves with the liquor, and she heard something about a game of some sort as she walked in. Not exactly sure she wanted to participate in a drinking game or whatever it was, Masami made her first order of business dropping off her present on the table with an obvious mound of other presents, then she quietly hung around the periphery of the area, trying to keep from being too conspicuous.

Kanaye noticed Masami (or rather, her dress) and immediately walked over to her the instant she dropped off her present. "Common, Maschan! We're playin a game and we need your legs!" he slurred out. "Excellent dress, BTW." he said, as if it wasn't obvious already. "really brings out your legs. Your legs are amazing, you know that? I want your legs..." he continued on.

"Koooooozueeee," Keiichi called, the three syllables dragged out even more than the might have otherwise been as he half-stumbled over to the group. "Where did you--oh! Hi everyone!"

He sketched a quick bow to everyone. "What's goin' on over here?" He giggled a bit, before trying to make his way over to a seat closer to Kozue. Keiichi did, however, frown slightly at the fact that walking straight didn't seem to be happening.

Thankfully, once he sat down, everything seemed a little more stable. "This some kinda game?"

"Oh, thanks Satou-senpai. I was worried I wouldn't look good in a dress like this so I'm glad it looks OK..."

Masami was happy to have been complemented on her dress, despite it being pretty obvious that Kanaye was inebriated, like a good number of other attendants(she noticed Keiichi stumbling and fumbling his way over to Kozue not too far away). Knowing that, it was with a good amount of apprehension when Masami then asked "What kind of game are you playing? Though, I'll probably just sit and relax somewhere..."

Kanaye paused (or rather, wobbled in place for a bit). He had no idea what game they were playing. A few seconds after figuring this out, his mouth split into a grin as he grabbed Masami by her arm and dragged her towards the little crowd that was forming. "I'v no idea. Let's find out!" he announced.

"I'm here!" he shouted as he and Masami reached the group. "What're we playin?" he asked, still screaming.

What game were they playing? That was the question of the hour, it seemed. However, surely, it'd get answered, and there were funny things to distract in the meantime. Kozue grinned with amusement, watching as Keiichi proved that walking in a straight line was just a bit too complex for the moment; in fact, between his stumbling and Kanaye's constant yelling, the Persona-users were turning out to be amusing drunks.

She scooted aside a little, making room for Keiichi. She, like some of the other people who'd assembled at Yoshimi's call, had found or stolen chairs, and made up something of a little, lopsided ring to sit in.

"I went here." She declared, still grinning, to her date as he sat down, as if this wasn't already obvious.

Wow, they're all pretty drunk..

Yoshimi herself was definitely not drunk, in her opinion. Just drinking socially. She wouldn't be officially drunk until after at least three more shots, and if her inability to form a coherent sentence seemed to suggest otherwise, well, that was just the party atmosphere getting to her.

"We're uh... we're, uh." What were they doing? Right, game. Party game. "We're playin' Ever Have I Never." Wait, that didn't sound right. "I mean, Never Have I Never. I mean..." What was it called again? It was on the tip of her tongue.

"We're playin' the ten fingers game," she said, giving up on trying to remember the name. "It's the one where you put up ten fingers," she explained, pausing to do so, "and then everyone says something they've never done. If someone else has done it, they hafta put a finger down and then do a shot. First person to run out of fingers winssss." The last part came out hopelessly slurred, but she figured that she'd managed to get the general idea across. "So who's in?"

Oh boy, this game. Well, if winning was getting to zero fingers first? Kozue was going to be a champion.

"I'm in!" Kozue declared, a bit louder than usual, although the increase in volume was only about half the fault of the wine she'd had thus far--it was also just really loud in the party room, and she wanted to make sure everyone heard her. "So are you, sempai," she said, turning to look at Keiichi. "I mean, you are, right?"

She pursed her lips a little in a very calculated, hopeful smile, although she stopped short of actually saying pleeeeeease?

"So shots of what, and who else?"

~~(THIS WAS POSTED A FEW DAYS AGO IT WAS JUST INVISIBLE, HONEST. *hides in the corner of lies and work/school*)~~

Emi hadn't been entirely sure what she was originally expecting. It had mainly been the desire to not be left out of the party that had made her want to go, but she found herself disappointed with the realization that high schoolers were pretty much just as dumb as middle schoolers. In fact, she liked that way of describing them the best. They were overgrown middle schoolers. Being probably the youngest there didn't really help either. She didn't know anyone too well and she doubted anyone would take her too seriously anyway. The only people she was more familiar with were the people she ran around in that weird place with and... she hardly liked half of them as it was.

She idly smoothed her light blue skirt. She hadn't been sure whether to dress formal or not, so she had worn a skirt instead of one of her dresses in order to be a bit more casual just in case. The skirt itself had a white bow around the waist and some subtle sewn in details, but it went well with her simple and cute white top. Her white shoes were in the style of ballerina flats, but they had a slight heel to boost her height just a wee bit. Not that it really helped in the long run. All in all she had tried to dress in a mature manner while still looking age appropriate. The fact that she seemed to blend in with the dress code of the party was one of the only pluses she could find at that moment when she looked over the crowd from the bathroom door.

The main goal for the moment was just to find where Reizo had wandered off to. She had absolutely no plans of leaving until the actual end of the party if only to prove a point and compared to everything else having to hang around with him the whole time really wasn't that ~~terrifying~~ terrible. Finally she spotted him shoving food into his mouth and... wiping his hands off on other people. She wrinkled her nose and opened her mouth to say something, but before she said anything she pulled a pale yellow, flower-covered handkerchief from the tiny purse she had hanging around her shoulder.

"That's disgusting. Just ask for a napkin!" Emi scolded after she stepped over to him, offering the handkerchief.

Reizo turned to Emi, cheeks plump and stuffed full of, if the rice around his mouth and roll he had poised in one hand was any indication, sushi. He looked perplexed. And like a chipmunk.

“Difgufting?” he asked, still chewing his food. He cleared his mouth with a gulp, frowned, and snatched the handkerchief away from Emi to wipe his mouth clean of the near ludicrous amount of rice ringing it. “Nothing disgustin’ about eatin’, shrimp.” He seemed to want to say more, but the wise line his uncle had given him back when he was still a normal kid was murky and out of reach. Something about yakuza and eating first..

He cleaned his fingers on the dainty yellow hankie, then handed it back to her with a grunt of thanks and lifted his free hand to take a drag of his cigarette, only to discover that it’d disappeared. He whirled around back to the buffet table and found it floating in a half-empty punchbowl. He ladled it out carefully and stuffed it into the hands of a passerby with a little nod before he lit himself up a new one and took a slow, savoring drag.

“So how’re you liking the party? Is getting lost in the crowd of bigger folk and knocked around as fun as I figure it is?”

He delivered the line through a toothy grin and with an accompanying appraising look.

“Just about makes you wanna drink, huh?”
