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.]

Same here

[It's Tenn's choice who to share it with, and he's honored that he chose him.]

[ He gets a smile again. Their little group with C-ta, Yor, and Riku may have completely fallen apart...but he really does hope Suga makes it out of this alright. He's careful with his trust now, and has learned not to expect anything from anyone...but talking to Suga and trusting him with friendship, at least, doesn't feel bad. ]

As my way of giving thanks, I want to share a story with you, too. Are you ready to hear it?

[Nods eagerly! He is so ready for Tenn's story time.]

TRIGGER has a song that was stolen from IDOLiSH7.

[ 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.

The soft ones can be scariest when you get them mad

I suppose so.

[ he's not making this face i just thought the icon was appropriate ]

Was Riku mad about it

I believe so, but he also knew that TRIGGER didn't realize it.

[ ... ]

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.
