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.

	Kanaye also shouted. "ALL RIGHT! I'M EXCITED NOW!" Upon realizing he was ALSO being Shirou, he rectified the situation by getting even drunker. "Hmm. Odd. I mean, she does seem kind of pure, yeah, but she is dating Keiichi. Do you think they've had sex yet and she's just lying about it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ito-senpai is not exactly a sex machine." She shook her head--contemplated covering her ears in case the shouting got awkward or louder or both--and then looked back at Satou. "And she was pretty embarrassed at the topic when we talked about it so probably not. Tch tch." She even clicked her tongue. "How does someone get to be as popular as her without losing it already?"

Oh. Wait. She was talking to another person who'd neglected to 'lose it already'. "Um. No offense intended. You're popular and all too!"

Kanaye also shook his head. "By comparison, he is. I mean, I'm pretty sure he's the only male in our group to have sex. Besides Reizo. He doesn't count. And I'd think it's because she's nice and pure. Forbidden fruit and all that."

Kanaye twitched, but kept smiling. It was kind of a "I'm smiling because I have to, not because I want you" kind of smile. "Oh, no no no. It's all my fault. I could have gotten laid a lot of times before this if I wasn't so hung up about doing it with someone I actually like. All my fault. It's all my fault." Kanaye stared into his drink, mouthing the same words over and over.

"Oh, don't be gloomy," Kozue said, perhaps too quickly, "It's probably better that way. Nobody calls you a worthless slut!" She grinned a bit too widely, trying to backpedal in her muddled, drunk way, into not having offended him. At least. Was he offended? She hoped not. But.

"And. Uh." No, how was she going to go about this. "I mean, you're popular and you're good-looking and you're dating someone you do totally care about. Those're all awesome things, aren't they?"

Kanaye barked a laugh. "No, but they do call me a desperate loser and a chikan. What the fuck was that all about, anyway? Goddammit, this drink isn't nearly hard enough..." he mumbled, glaring at the bartender. "Your strongest stuff! And a lot of it!" Kanaye commanded. The bartender, who was kind of scared by his sudden mood swings, complied without a word.

Kanaye stared into space. "Yeah, and I have a crap load of money too. And yeah, I do care about Maeko-chan. But what do things like that really mean? Oh, I can out-buy you. I can win a beauty pagent. Big deal. I can't do anything important, the team is better off without me, everyone but you, Maeko, and Toru hate me..." His drink arrived. He put it to his mouth and drank.

"Oh, please, winning a beauty pageant is totally worthwhile. At least, it had better damn well be, because what am I going to do with my life if not stand around looking pretty?" She slumped a little. Why was making him feel better such an exercise in making herself feel bad, too? "And you've got other stuff going for you!"

Not that she knew what it was.

Her words were slurring slightly—although she didn't quite notice it, except as a vague sense that her hearing was odd in some way. The drinks were beginning to catch up to her, now. "Yeah, really, you do."

	Kanaye stretched. "Well, for one, you could get a job. Or you could raise the kids, if you still want to be traditional and such. And it's a rather big difference." He turned slowly and glared. "Like what? Name one thing that I'm good at." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ anthesphoria 2009-11-28 06:34 am UTC (link)
	"Drinkin'." She shook her head, shrinking a little under the glare. "No, no, wait. I'm joking. You genuinely cared enough to cheer me up when I was crying and you save people's lives on a regular basis. Also, you're good at--at sports. The ball-kicking sport." "I couldn't get a job, that's silly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ zealousemperor 2009-11-28 06:35 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye shrugged. "Kiriko cheered you up as well, and 18 other people save people's lives. So do most police officers, firemen, doctors...I'm not going to get any of those. I'm going to get stuck in a boring desk job for the rest of my life." He scoffed. "Why couldn't you? You've...Well, you're certainly better at a lot of things then me."

	"Just because lots of people can do it, doesn't make it less good." She took another sip of her drink. "I 'unno what your job is going to be so I… 'unno, I guess." She put her glass back down. "I wouldn't be good at anything, so there's not really a point. Besides, I wouldn't get married to someone who wanted their wife to have a job, y'know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kanaye nodded. "True, but it means that they don't need ME, specifically. I'm replaceable. I always am."

"Some sort of goddamn number cruncher for my dad's company. He expects me to take it over. Lord knows why," he snorted, "I'd run it into the ground within the first week, if that."

Kanaye shrugged. "If you want to not have a job and take after the kids, then go ahead, I won't stop you. Just don't feel pressured because that is what your grandmother wants. She doesn't matter at all."

	"That's not really how it works, and I'd rather you didn't say she doesn't matter. She does." Kozue sighed. "Or. How it'll work. I 'unno. Hey, wait, if he expects you to take over the company, that means you're not replaceable." Only expect came out more like esspect, as Kozue's diction continued to suffer the effects of a bit too much alcohol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kanaye nodded. "It totally is. And no, she doesn't matter." He laughed. "Yes, actually, it does. You see, he's the only person who thinks that way. If I were to, say, kill myself, he'll be sad for a bit and then move on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's not—" Kozue bit back a comment that, even drunk, she realized was just plain stupid, and looked down. "How gloomy. You shouldn't kill yourself, Satou-senpai, it'd be … really sad. And it'd hurt a whole bunch. In a sad, hurting kind of way. And I don't think you could play soccer or sleep with Akuba-senpai or drink whiskey anymore if you killed yourself."

Ah, the eloquence of the drunk high school girl.

	Kanaye shrugged. "Well, that depends on whether or not you believe in an afterlife. You see, if there WAS an afterlife, then I could, in fact, do those things. Well, sleeping with Maeko-chan depends if Maeko-chan goes to the same afterlife that I do, but that seems sort of given." Ah, the eloquence of a drunk high school boy.

"If you killed yourself you might reincat--n-no, reincarnate as a bacteria or something," Kozue decided, disregarding any and all religious training thus far in her life for the first thing that seemed sensible. "And I'm pretty sure they don't even screw. But. Ugh. I don't like bein' a sad drunk. 'sgotta be something more fun to do." She finished her drink in an over-enthusiastic swig.

	Kanaye blinked, then nodded wisely. "They don't! They produce asexually, like Kou-san!" He nodded and smiled jokingly. "Well, maybe we could screw!" he said, grinning like a loon. It was a very funny joke in his mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ anthesphoria 2009-11-29 05:36 am UTC (link)
	Kozue actually paused and considered this; it gave her an opportunity to realize that even sitting down, her balance centers were slightly off-kilter. Then, "I totally would, y'know, but I don't poach other girls' boyfriends. 'specially when they're my friends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ zealousemperor 2009-11-29 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye smiled and nodded. "I know. It was a joke anyway. Speaking of which, are you fine with threesomes with another girl?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ anthesphoria 2009-11-29 05:46 am UTC (link)
	"I—wha?!" Kozue flushed a very bright pink and nearly tumbled off of her barstool at that one. "Wh-wh-wait, wha," she continued, a complete jumble of syllables instead of an actual answer. Which was, if nothing else, probably a clue as to whether or not that had come up for her before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ zealousemperor 2009-11-29 05:50 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye laughed. "Kozue-san, you're funny." He said stupidly before smirking. "So, once again, are you fine with a threesome with another girl if she's alright with it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ anthesphoria 2009-11-29 06:13 am UTC (link)
	"I… d-dunno. I guess? Theoreticamally speaking. I mean. I would… I'd try it." She flushed more. "Oh, don't tell people that I said that, that's…people will think I'm weird!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~triumphant return~ zealousemperor 2009-11-29 06:17 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye didn't point out that people probably already thought she was weird. "Oh, don't worry about it, Kozue-san. Would you try it with me and Maeko-chan if I managed to convince her it was a good idea?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rather conveniently ignoring the fact that she'd just admitted that she'd sleep with him, Kozue just kept on blushing. "I - um - y'know you can't hold a girl to the promises she makes when she's had at least three whiskeys. Three?" A pause to count them out on her fingers. "But. More than three! It's possible. "But since I'm not sober then sure why the hell not."

She raised her voice and hollered down at the bartender in a very bold move—at least for her. "Hey! I want another drink! It's my birthday and I'm making dubious decisions, so make it something awesome, okay?"

	Kanaye laughed again. "So do I!" he hollered behind her, smirking all the while. He leaned backwards in his chair and nearly fell. "Well then, I'll just have to get you drunk when it's time, right? We should all be drunk, really." Kanaye stroked his imaginary beard. "We have plausible desirability then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
