AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk
[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.]

[ Caring about people -- that isn't wrong. But he's learned a few things tonight about trust, and he hopes that Suga's learned about it, too, after...all of that.
There's a pause, but Tenn maintains that little smile on his face. ]
You really are a kind person, Suga-san. I'm glad you didn't let that stop you from being who you are.
no subject
People keep saying things like that
It's embarrassing
[He doesn't know how to take compliments, stop it!!]
no subject
[ :') ]
It may be hard for you to see, but I think most of us are aware of it.
[ ...and he hope that it doesn't put Suga in danger down the line. ]
no subject
If you say so
[It's still Weird.]
Tenn
I wanted to tell you something
What my wish was
no subject
[ Suga, not you too!! Adora already talked about hers... Why are you guys doing this. He looks at him with wide eyes. ]
You don't have to do that, you know. It's your business, not mine.
no subject
I want someone to know
And I want it to be you
The spirit near my village who's been targeting children for generations
If she never became a spirit in the first place
Then all of those children would be safe
Shii-chan wouldn't have had to forget me
I wouldn't be cursed
That's what I'd wish for
But I don't believe he'll follow through on granting wishes
no subject
He nods in understanding. ]
I don't think so, either. But I don't think that's a bad wish to have.
[ It's understandable, given all the suffering the spirit has caused. Tenn's...is selfless as well, but on a smaller scale.
Suddenly, he frowns a little. ]
Mine...doesn't matter anymore.
no subject
If there's any way to save the people who've died here too
I'll do everything I can
no subject
[ ...He shakes his head. ]
There has to be. I won't give up on believing that.
[ He closes his eyes. ]
I just hope he's not suffering anymore, on the other side. ... That was my wish. To have him be freed from his illness.
no subject
He deserves that much
[He deserves to be alive, really, but.]
no subject
Anyway...thank you for telling me that. I won't tell anyone, promise.
[ He makes a little zipped lips motion with his fingers. ]
no subject
[It's Tenn's choice who to share it with, and he's honored that he chose him.]
no subject
As my way of giving thanks, I want to share a story with you, too. Are you ready to hear it?
no subject
no subject
[ What a way to start that story... He doesn't seem too bothered by saying this, though. ]
Ryuu, Gaku and I weren't the ones who stole it; it was actually our composer who did. I had a hunch about it for some time, but I was hesitant to let Ryuu and Gaku know about it. They had so much fun singing it, and they were so proud of it...
...So when we did inevitably find out, we actually cornered our President to make him tell us why he did it. We locked him in his room, and I cut the phone cord so he couldn't call security on us. Ryuu, the soft-hearted one, was so mad that he grabbed the president by the collar of his shirt. We threw the rest of the company staff a thank you party with our own pocket money, too, so nobody would be in the office.
It's kind of comical, looking back on it. At least, I think so. This all has a happy ending, but I thought this part was the most entertaining.

We ended up singing it together at a concert -- TRIGGER and IDOLiSH7. It felt like a really good resolution to all of the trouble both groups went through. They were really respectful about not wanting us to stop singing it, too.
no subject
I'm glad to hear it
no subject
Things were much simpler back then.
no subject
[He'd be very surprised if any of them had a weirder life before this.]
no subject
[ except phil's apparently... ]
I'd hope nobody lived somewhere like this before coming here.

One murder game is enough for anybody?

[ This fucker would do it over and over again if he could. ]
