kozue, open thread, shadow

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.

He was a little disappointed she hadn’t put up a fight, or even made some exaggerated show out of it for mocking purposes. Well, surprised, anyway. He heaved out a sigh and a heavy cloud of smoke, both directed squarely in her direction and then leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms across his chest and giving her a hopeless look.

“I guess you’re right. But I ain’t ordering shit from this place. You can treat me out somewhere else.”

Then he went quiet for a moment, and his eyes flicked to behind her shoulder and to the birthday girl and then right back to Kiriko. He leaned over the table towards her conspiratorially, hand dipping into the inner pocket of his jacket to retrieve a handsome gift box, which he then slid to her across the table to her with all the subterfuge he could muster.

“Give this to your undeserving friend then,” he told her, and once it was safely out of his hands and without nametag he leaned back into his chair and regarded her with a curiously playful smile, “and why so upset? You been missin’ me?”

With the more-or-less amiable treatment she was recieving she could feel her mood moving away from Grouchy and Irritable and back towards something more giddy and befitting of the current atmosphere. She decided she would forgive the previous slight against her and shift her mental energy towards making sure she did not enter "drunk enough to dance" territory.

The giftbox was somewhat surprising. She looked at it, then over her shoulder to Kozue, then back to Reizo, suppressing her smile.

"If there are drugs in here, you better take the fall if I get caught," she declared flatly as she slid the box in her purse, giving it a little shake under the table to try to discern its contents. He wouldn't possibly be handing out drugs, right? Then again, given the nature of the party... Maybe she should hand it over outside the dorm just to be safe.

"Why so curious?" She returned the playful smile as she spoke. "Hoping I'll say yes?"

His smile grew a little wider, curled, and finally settled into a proper smirk. Half of the reason Ikeda was fun was because she knew how to bat and play without crossing any lines(mostly), swiping but hardly without any claws. She got a little bossy sometimes, but not to the point where he’d want to squash it out of her.. But the opinion most of the ‘team’ carried around about her control over him was definitely something to be worked on.

“No,” he hissed out, giving her a reproachful look as he pulled out a plain cigarette and lit it and hung it from his mouth. “I don’t deal drugs,” technically he’d never actually sold them out of pocket, “and even if I did.. Well, look around, giving out some in a place like this’d be redundant anyway.”

His feet came down off an adjacent chair and he finally sat up proper to face her, before he reached over across the table to steal her drink and gulp it down. It was almost impressive that he didn’t even need to remove the cigarette jutting out of the corner of his mouth to do so.

Once he’d drained it he reclined bonelessly back against his chair again, roguish smirk returning. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

"I didn't think you did - It's hard to imagine you standing still in one place for that long."

She watched with a quirked brow as he stole the rest of her drink. Downing it with the cigarette intact must be practiced. Either way, it was probably best that she didn't finish that.

"Hmm, how sad, you didn't miss me too."

That pretty much counted as answering in the positive, but she kept her face more or less unreadable nonetheless. Her head rolled to one side, in the direction of the glass he'd just replaced on the table, which she was now pointing to.

"You like girly drinks, eh?" She grinned. "Who knew. Should I keep it a secret, just between us?"
