Who: Kozue and LOTS OF OTHERS?
Where: That ramen shop in Noodle Alley that doesn't card for beer.
What: Fun times without having your ID checked.
When: An evening, before the Sunday of Maeko's dungeon.
Why: Jun told me to.

At least two of the waitresses knew her by sight, which, Kozue reflected, was probably a bad sign.

One of them had even asked her where her date was. "I'm just here for noodles" wasn't a very convincing answer; especially since she'd also come for the alcohol. Now she was sitting on a stool at the bar, her feet dangling (of course they didn't hit the floor, nor come close at all), enjoying a veggie noodle bowl and a very large beer. It had seemed like a good idea initially—food not from the dorm kitchen, and a drink was really called for after the week's events, and maybe there'd be a cute boy. Now? It was just kind of pitiful-seeming, getting food alone, and she was beginning to suspect that the beer was not nearly as low calorie as was advertised.

The cute boy front was also, sadly, a disappointment thus far. But she was more optimistic about that than about the calorie problem; boys could walk into bars, but calories probably couldn't walk out of drinks. At least, she didn't think they could…

Kanaye sighed. Misaki's interlude had helped him in some ways, but it had hurt him in others. One of those ways it hurt him was that the maids had discovered his activities, and they alerted his parents. They were more irritated by the fact it was THEIR sake that they were drinking then the fact he was drinking in the first place, and told him to stop stealing their stuff and to get his own. They had changed the lock on the wine cabinet as well, so he nowhere else to go. He had heard of this place in Noodle Alley that didn't ID people from one of the people he talks to at school, and decided to go there.

Walking through, he was glad at what he had saw. He had expected it to be some sort of hive of scum and villainy. Now, it was more like a ramen shop with a slightly inattentive owner. He smiled as he looked around, glad he wasn't going to be jumped, when he noticed Kozue. Now was probably a good time to talk to her, he thought. "Yo, Kozue-san. How are you today?" Kanaye asked as he walked over. He ordered some noodles and a beer from the bartender, who nodded and went to get what he had asked for. "Here for the beer?" he asked cheerfully.

Kozue glanced up, her glass halfway to her lips. Well, that answered that question, at least; she lowered it slowly, and nodded. "Hey, sempai. Well. The noodles, too," she responded, although considering how much of her beer was gone, versus how much of her noodle bowl was gone? Her explanation wasn't particularly convincing. "You?"

Well, she had been wishing for cute boys—Kanaye was certainly among the pick of the litter, but really? He was also infatuated with Maeko and kind of an emotionally imbalanced man-child. (Kozue reflected that she actually knew too many of those; maybe it was something about being a Persona User, and Kanaye with his claims of 'we're all crazy' was on to something.) And she was so not going there.

But, she reflected, as he ordered at the bar next to her, at least she'd have someone to talk to for a while, instead of amusing herself staring at the doorway.
