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 had seen what was going on with an amused eye. Really, this entire thing was a disaster waiting to happen. SWEET! "But, Nayuki-kun, making fools of ourselves is the best part of getting drunk! Really, why else would people get smashed?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kozue laughed at Kanaye's response, pleased that she didn't have to raise much the same concern. Seriously, why would you bother drinking if if wasn't to get drunk? Speaking of that, she cast a sideways glance at Misaki's frou-frou, alcohol-less drink. Should she have been surprised? 'Virgin', even? No, probably not. And think of all the calories.

"Don't worry too much about it, Tonbo-sempai," she said, looking back to the treat-you-for-a-round hijacker. She clearly wasn't upset, though—after all, thanks to him, she was eating and drinking free all night. "I'll still cover one round, but not this one—I offered, after all, and it wouldn't do to go back on it."

Oh, the beauty of pretending to be more generous than you actually were, for appearance sake. In truth, Kozue had no problem whatsoever with not paying, but she had to try and insist on at least covering what she'd offered.

"And the round after that is on me!" Yoshimi offered, having downed two-thirds of her glass in just a few minutes. Her initial plan had been to sulk in the corner and get drunk, but she was starting to feel a little buzzed, and a buzzed Yoshi was a happy, social Yoshi. At least for the first hour or so.

"Nice to meet you, Tonbo-senpai!" She clearly meant it, too, making a poorly-balanced attempt to high five the second year.

	Kanaye laughed. Today was going to be great. "And the one after that is on me if any of you are still awake!" he said, smiling. Let it not be said that Kanaye couldn't handle his alcohol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Down Down Down Down Down...

*Klink* *Klink* came the sound of the evening gathering as they all came in on Misaki's toast. Nayuki was grateful to her for catching on his social folly. The upperclassman went further in alleviating his worries by making the gesture look enjoyable. "...part of the fun, huh?"

He nods in approval to Miss Goldenlocks, quietly smiling as her name escapes him, while she proposes to take the next round. Nayuki accepted his first pint of Iburi's beer and swirled it a bit before spending the next few seconds to completely gulp it down in one go. It didn't matter to him anymore how he was going to go home after tonight, his legs were already hurting from the long bike trips he did for his part-time job. Deciding to cut loose and just relaxing with good company was all that mattered now. As he set the empty glass on the counter, he realized that the brew was surprisingly light.

Turning his attention to the twin-braided first-year, he nods in response and quickly notices her attempt for a high-five gesture. She was in good spirits that he didn't want to kill the moment. And so, he thought of meeting the girl's gesture halfway by stepping off his seat to reach for a Hi-5 contact. Nayuki just wasn't expecting his legs to give way at that moment. And thus, his attempt to reciprocate the High-Five ended up as a collision course towards Yoshimi. "Gaaah! Not good, not good, not good!" In that split-second, he hoped he had enough energy to redirect his fall toward the floor instead.

	Misaki moved out of the way some so that she wasn't taken down with the tumbling Nayuki, and tried to grab his arm when he tumbled down, but failed. She braced for what was sure to be a bad hit and winced her eyes shut. "Sempai...Yoshimi-chan...are you alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"KYAAA~" As Nayuki moved out of the way, Yoshimi overshot her target and went crashing heels over head towards the floor. Luckily, years spent tripping over anything and everything in her path had left her with catlike damage-avoidance reflexes, and she landed dazed but uninjured.

"I'm okay!" she assured, rotating her wrists a few times to make sure that they weren't sprained. "And I am so sorry, Tonbo-senpai, I didn't think that was going to happen!" She got up and dusted herself off, glad that she'd decided not to wear a skirt.

Kozue jolted back, startled, as Yoshimi and Nayuki collectively tumbled down like complete drunkards. That was just ridiculous. For a moment, she had the desire to just drop her face into her palms and sigh. They hadn't even had anything—well, Tonbo had just chugged one, but it could hardly have taken effect that quickly.

And if the injury question was dealt with, it was time for the waste/mess question: "Did either of you spill anything?" She asked, looking around carefully, before taking another long swig of her own new beer. Keeping up was important, after all.

Hello, Floor! Nice to meet you!

Nayuki let out an anguished laughter as he remained face down on the floor. He could feel the eyes of the entire room burning on his back and, right now, there was nothing he could do about it. "I - I'm alright. I'm okay! Sorry about that." He carefully propped himself up with his arms, but couldn't get up completely on account of his legs not responding to him. "Is anyone hurt? Goodness, I hope not." Hanging onto the base of the barstools, he slowly pulled himself up in a standing posture with his knees completely straight. He took a good look at Yoshimi and Misaki and started bowing apologetically. "I'm really sorry about that, I didn't think my legs would be THAT tired. I didn't hut either of you, did I?"

The kind restaurant staff supported him as he made his way back to his own seat, the large bown of gomoku ramen ready for consumption. In a hopeless attempt to divert attention, he points to the large bowl, "Hey, check it out? Now is THIS a big bang for your buck, or isn't it?" He let out a nervous laugh soon after.

	Kanaye just laughed out loud. He wasn't even drunk yet! Imagine what would happen with a crap load of drinks! "Nayuki-san, thank you! That just brightened my day!" he announced, taking another drink of his beer. Mmm. Chilled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nayuki's comment made Kozue giggle, although less for the noodles and more for the innuendo. What, you didn't hear the innuendo? Because she totally heard the innuendo.

"So that's a good start." As long as it didn't draw undue attention to the fact that a sixteen year old boy was drinking beer and falling all over himself. Hopefully, it wouldn't… Ugh, but if they got busted, the explanations she'd have to give.

To brace herself against that possibility, she took another long sip of her own beer. "So what do you think? And what are you drinking, Misaki-chan?" She turned, peering at the bright, fruity drink when it finally arrived. "That looks kind of weird."

"Well, it's too late for me to avoid embarassing myself. I suppose I don't have to be nervous for the rest of the night, any longer." Nayuki was already starting on his noodles, as he knew that the fastest way to get drunk was to take in alcohol on an empty stomach. And he wasn't exactly ready to fall into a drunken stupor yet. His legs had already given way, but that's due to fatigue. He's perfectly certain that the rest of his body will follow after tonight. He looks at the drink Misaki's holding in her hands as Kozue calls attention to it. He swallows his meal, grins and says, "Give Aoi-san a little bit of slack, I think this is her first time taking any kind of cocktail... even though it's non-alcoholic." He gives Misaki a mischevous wink and returns to his ramen.

He speaks out to Kanaye and Kozue, "So, what do you both recommend for something light?" He gestures with his nose, pointing to the drinks in their hands.

	"It's called a strawberry daquri, I heard my mother ordering it once. It's a lot of fuit juice and slushy ice mixed together with something, but I ordered it with out the extra stuff, so it's just a fruit drink." Misaki smiled at Kozue and took a sip. "Anyone ever wonder what our future's going to hold?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kanaye quirked an eyebrow at Nayuki and Misaki. A daiquiri? Seriously? He laughed. "Weak. Weakity weakity weak. Seriously, why the hell would you even get light alcohol? Get some of the sake, or even a beer." he said smiling. He took another drink and smiled. "This is good stuff." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And it's not that heavy, all things considered," Kozue chimed in, "although I think they have something lighter, it's a Z-z-err, a German thing." Whatever it was called. She waved her free hand in a circle slightly wider than she might have otherwise gestured with, and took another long sip of her kind-of-lightish beer.

Oh, crap, she'd be out soon. Whose round was it next. Hers? Had she really been taking sips that large? Now, that wasn't ladylike at all.

She turned to look at Misaki: "So it's a strawberry smoothie, Misaki-chan? I'd think that you'd at least want a little bit of sake in it or something. Do they put sake in daquiris or is it something else?" This, to the general group—maybe to the room at large.
