it's my party and i'll cry if i want to...
Who: Kozue and ~~the adoring public~~ You
What: Festivities
Where: Bar Kidnap
When: July 21
Why: Because of presents and alcohol.

True to her word, Kozue had established herself in the VIP area of Bar Kidnap—still pretending to be blissfully unaware of the frightening or ominous implications of the name. She hadn't gone to much (or any) trouble to prove that this was a birthday party, however; she was dressed up, in an outfit a bit scantier than her normal going-out attire. She was sporting a green, sequin-covered minidress and a pair of heels of a ridiculous height. And her hair was even more carefully arranged than normal.

The VIP area was situated on a balcony, overlooking the rest of the club; from there, Kozue was engaged in chatting amicably with one of the older girls from the tennis club, but her attention kept drifting to the entrance downstairs. More people should show up. There weren't nearly enough for the party to be genuinely successful. So, every few moments, she cast a nervous glance downstairs.

The club itself wasn't all that packed; it was a weeknight, after all, and if any of the actual grown-up patrons noticed the steady stream of highschoolers, they weren't making a fuss. And the bouncers had either been bribed very efficiently, or were under instructions not to care, either.

	She reddened a bit. "I am. It's my birthday." Retrospectively, maybe lying would have been the better choice, but making better choices was one of those things you didn't do when you were on the way to being drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kou believed drinking was done in civilised company. Business meetings, important meals, mingling with the purpose of getting something. Perhaps having fruit juice would be wiser, but he was an adult and one of the important things adults knew was how to pace themselves. But they also knew when to say no.

The children here needed more self-control.

"You're underage," he said pointedly.

"That's true," Kozue admitted, looking a bit uncomfortable and entirely unsure of herself. Well, of course she was underage—but of course she'd be drinking. Her party had been hosted at Bar Kidnap for a reason, after all, and it clearly wasn't the excellent dancing opportunities.

But she was at a loss for what to say; surely she shouldn't be apologizing to him for underage drinking? He wasn't her father or her older brother or anything, for goodness sake.

	"If you're drinking," he didn't like the sound of that, "have water. Alcohol makes you dehydrated; quickly in places like this." He didn't know if she'd notice his concern. Hopefully she would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, that's a good suggestion," she said, nodding with relief—no lecture or speech, that was comforting. "I'll make sure to have a bottle of water, thanks." She smiled; having someone to take care of you was nice, and that small delight showed on her face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would she drink it, though? Annoyingly, there was a persistant presence in his mind that told him she wouldn't, and were he to make sure she wouldn't be grateful. Simply, it was that Kozue couldn't be trusted. "Whatever. Are we going to sit down?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent)
