That doesn't make me not underage, though...

[ what a fuckin nerd ]

[disreguarded]

[she just HUFFS. and reaches to pat his face with her whole hand.]

I'm not going to make you drink if you don't want to but also if you're not drinking just because you're underage, that's a dumb reason. We watched someone get pushed off a platform on Sunday. You are old enough to drink because I said so.

[steelo]

[ he even bends over a little to allow this patting ]

I just usually try to stay away from that kinda stuff, that's all. [ there's a brief pause, here, where ichiro seems a little - far away? just for a second.

and then he shakes his head to clear it. ] ... Maybe one.

[disreguarded]

[stop i keep forgetting he's fucking tall]

... Like I said. Not gonna peer pressure, but yeah. Yeah. [but.] Come on. Maybe if I drink I can figure out which task I have to commit to.

[steelo]

[ yeah ok he's comin. ichiro shoves his hands in his pockets as they make their way to the SUB - and then snorts, dropping his head. ]

Ugh, man. Ignore the titles. Let's see... I can't have dinner with you, that's out. [ sometimes you just end up broing it up with someone too often. ] What's left? Tell a lie, show something you're good at, and... tell someone a bad habit they have, I guess.

[disreguarded]

[oh same pose, actually.]

I don't know your bad habits yet? I could show you something that I'm good at. Or lie, but like, I feel like it loses it's effect if you... know I'm lying.

[steelo]

Does "running into trash cans" count as a bad habit?

[ he grins, teasing a little bit with that.... mostly because he was no better. cut from the same cloth etc. ] But, sure - something you're good at. Besides DDR, because you kicked ass at that. What've you got?

[disreguarded]

Shut the fuck up. [she says, laughing, elbowing him.] Gods.

I am pretty good at drinking? Does that count? Two birds, one stone, you know.

[steelo]

[ lux being adorable aside because she is the cutest person in the whole world her moe is too strong ]

Am I gonna have to carry you back to the dorm?

[ the idea of beau showing off her drinking talent is funny - and honestly ichiro has definitely helped shoulder drunk people home many times so it's not like he'd be unfamiliar with it. ] But sure, I guess that counts. Let's see it.

[disreguarded]

Wow! No! I'm good at drinking, I can totally walk home by myself.

[she makes a face at him. she will lead him to The Alcohol Zone, however, and buy like, three bottles. vodka, whiskey and a random wine that sounds not awful.]

[steelo]

[ ichiro holds both of his hands up like yes, ok. he is going to leave the alcohol choosing to the professional, and does responsibly show his id to the poor worker because once again, he is a giant nerd. ]

How much do you drink that it's your talent, Beau? I guess you guys are adventurers, though, so... kinda makes sense.

[disreguarded]

You pretty much answered your own question. We do a job, we go get wasted. It's the adventurer's way.

[she hands him the wine. hold this. the people selling the alcohol frown, but he isn't drinking it so...]

Plus I sold wine as a teenager, so you know. Extra experience.

[steelo]

Huh. I did jobs like that, too, a few years back. The guys used to offer me booze all the time, but - I'm trying to be a good role model, you know? For my little bros. I don't want them to get into anything like that while they're still so young.

[ what a NERD

anyway that's a weird backstory thing to have in common. there's a beat, as he's adjusting how he's holding the wine bottle to make sure he doesn't drop it. ] Unless you're totally bullshitting me for that other task.

[disreguarded]

[she laughs!]

Nah, that one was the truth! Like I'd just lie to your face and then tell you right after. Yeesh. [...] You're really all for your siblings, huh.

[steelo]

Yeah. [ definitely not even remotely ashamed of it - he just seems to radiate pride. ]

We're all we've got in the world, man. I want em to grow up better than me.

[disreguarded]

[no, she like... respects that. she absently scratches at the inside of her arm, where her fear tattoo is.]

Yeah. I, uh. [...] I want that for my little brother, too, I think.

[steelo]

[ he gives her a little smile, and then nudges his shoulder against beau's arm - come on, let's get back to the dorm. ]

You've got a little bro? Didn't know that. Being an older sibling's - I mean, that's the best of it, getting to watch them grow up. What's he like?

[disreguarded]

[she sort of makes a face, shoving her hands in her pockets. back to the dorm!]

I don't know, he's like, two. And I really only just met him a couple weeks ago. He's fine, I guess. He's... two. [descriptive, beau]

[steelo]

[ ...... ]

You're not talking about Mollymauk, are you...?

[disreguarded]

[THAT MAKES HER LAUGH she like fucking splutters into giggles]

No! No, I -- haha, fuck. No, I actually do have a little brother. Molly's more like an annoyance.

[steelo]

[ that's much better than the huffy!! he laughs, digging around to go unlock the door when they get there since he's got a little less alcohol in hand. ]

Just checkin'. Two years old, huh? They're terrors when they're that age. I don't remember Jiro much, but Saburo - god, he used to cry all the time. Unless I was the one holding him, then he'd usually quiet down.

I'm pretty sure nobody actually knows how to handle a two year old, so you're in good company. No doubt.

[disreguarded]

[she's already opening one of the bottles to the vodka HOO BOY if she's gonna talk about her family]

He ran down the stairs and immediately put everything in his mouth, so - terror is a good description. [...] I don't know how much I'll get to see him, but. I wanna make sure he...

[hm. she needs to be drunker! for that!] He'll be fine.

[steelo]

For sure.

[ he gets that feeling, though. it reminds him of a time long passed by. ] ... When I was a little younger, I didn't get to see Jiro and Saburo that often. I did everything I could to help 'em from far away, but I wasn't there, and they - they've turned out pretty good.

Just doing the best you can - that's what really matters, right? As long as you're trying.

[disreguarded]

[her lips twitch. she looks sort of wry, even as she's taking a drink.]

Sure. [another drink.] It's nice to see some people actually have that, I guess. Let's - go, do you wanna just drink in the suites?

[steelo]

Yeah.

[ .............. ]

You, uh. Kinda look like you need a hug. I give pretty good ones.
