AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk

[mirrite]

[There's absolutely nothing celebratory about this drinking party. "Party" isn't even the right word, not really-- it's more like a "drink until you forget and/or black out" session for anyone who wants to participate, and even the bartender isn't immune from that much. Please forgive him if your drink isn't mixed quite right; he's trying his best under the circumstances.

There's food, too, if anyone wants to attempt to stave off a hangover tomorrow, or just get something in their stomach after the events of the day: stirfry from Makoto, vegetable soup from Nageki (mediocre, but hey, a genuine effort was made and that's what counts), and some tea for those who would rather abstain from the harder stuff. (Is that even many people tonight? Probably not.)

Come on by the bar if you're hungry or want a drink, or even if you just don't want to be alone right now. That much, at least, is something that can be guaranteed tonight.]

[ The trial hadn't been the best of times, but eventually, Norton could find him here, poking at the food. ]

...it seems I wasn't the only one who had an unpleasant revelation today.

[ ... ]

[goldencave]

...

[ He's gonna sit next to the guy for a while. ]

... Guess we all did, more or less.

[biyishuangfei]

I hope...we could all come to terms with what happened. Though I know most of us will need time.

[ Him included. ]

[goldencave]

If we even get time.

[biyishuangfei]

...It really does feel like we won't have much time before we're in another same situation again like we were hours ago.

[ Situation, as in trial. Their entire predicament was one in of itself. ]

I wonder if it's meaningless to hope that we can still manage. But, Wei-xiong would've wanted us to, so I want to believe in that, just a little.

[goldencave]

[ He nods... ]

... There's gotta be a way out. If the bastard managed to get us here, then there's gotta be an exit or something.

[ Norton seems to be giving up on that wish of his here... It doesn't feel more important than their lives right now. ]

[biyishuangfei]

That's right. And this group has proven that we could work together, even after getting into a terrible disagreement, so maybe we could make it work.

[ That's his honest hope, anyway. ]

[goldencave]

[ Norton nods with a smirk. ]

That's the spirit. Now if only we could get a good lead...

[biyishuangfei]

[ Huaisang was too tired for that. But he would smile in return if he weren't. ]

Yeah, that'd be nice. Hopefully next week too.

Though after today I'm going to sleep in tommorrow like nobody's business. It's fortunate enough I don't drink a lot to relax.
