WINE PARTY EVENT

[selfgodded]

Who: EVERYONE IN HINOTO-RI
Where: The Square in Scorpio Ward
When: Begins 00:00 New Years!
Summary: Anant and his Persona Dionysus throw a wine party! Mingle, have fun, and watch out for the drinks, some of them are spiked...
Warnings: Alcohol, so expect some silliness in this log. All of the silliness.



It began entirely by accident, really.

Anant had learned that one celebrated the turning of the New Year - a novel experience, really! A world that didn't stand still, that had the cycle of night and day, and the turning of the seasons; the thought of beginning time anew was something beautiful and magnificent to the deluded god. No wonder humans would celebrate such an event!

Dionysus had suggested that perhaps wine would be the best thing to toast the New Year with - and, of course, it would be best to celebrate it where the moon was high in the sky and the stars in view. Atmosphere was just as important! Their quest took them to the square in the Scorpio Ward, nicely fixed up from a past event (something about scorpions, they didn't pry). Anant, of course, brought their own table.

Dionysus supplied the wine, Anant pushed it upon those who were passing by at the time, and soon a crowd began to gather. It started small, but Anant's bubbly personality, delicious wine, and the lighthearted atmosphere drew more and more Hinoto-Ri natives to the scene, and eventually, some of the new arrivals. By the time the clock struck midnight, on the New Years, a large impromptu party had taken over the square!

The free alcohol was possibly the cause of it, but so long as everyone was happy and having fun, why should Anant object to such a thing! To observe such a large congregation of people together - it was magical! Fantastical!

Devious.

It was just past half past twelve in the morning when the 'effect's began appearing. But what did one expect, accepting alcohol from the God of Lunacy? With the moon so high on the sky, washing down on the people below, on such a jovial occasion, how couldn't Dionysus splash a bit of mischief in there?

So have fun, my fellow inhabitants. This night will surely be memorable...

[OOC: Sorry for the tl;dr! Alrighty, so everyone can mingle and do as they please in the comments! You do not have to know Anant to log in - you don't even have to interact with them! Just do your own thing and have fun!

"But..."

Yamato looked like he was going to protest, but after a moment of thought, allowed the subject to drop with a troubled expression of confusion. This was just confusing, and with his keen mind dulled by the alcohol, he couldn't make sense of it. Just go with him.

Besides, he still got a selfish sort of pleasure in using Kaito's first name.

"Very well, ah, Kaito."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"That's better." He nodded and watched Yamato continue to fiddle with the cup.

"How many have you had?"

[drakenguard]

"I'm...not entirely certain," Yamato admitted, giving a slight start at the question. "I, well, possibly, um, perhaps about six."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"...Wh-" Wow that is not okay.

"That's way too much! No wonder you've been getting drunk." First the thing that Daichi told him about, and there was probably...another thing, but for some reason, that was a little fuzzy to recall...

[drakenguard]

"It isn't that much," Yamato protested, his pride rising to the challenge. "I drank far more when I was with Shura a few months ago."

Granted, he couldn't remember that night in the slightest, only that he woke up in Daichi's apartment and very nearly vomited all over the poor brunet when the hungover hit. He was certain he didn't get up to much mischief though.

Although a repeat of the hangover wasn't looking all that appealing.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Yes it is! It totally is. Look at you." He pointed to Yamato's stomach, most likely trying to point out how thin and waif-like he was.

"A breeze could probably tip you over. You're plowed."

[drakenguard]

"I am not going to stand here and be insulted," Yamato sniffed, setting the glass aside on the table pointedly, and then turning on his heel - or rather, he tried to. He ended up tripping over himself, and grabbed onto the edge of the table to stop himself from tumbling to the floor in a graceless sprawl.

"..."

He straightened up, clearing his throat a little. "That - was...intentional."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Okay, that was admittedly really funny, but still.

"I'm not...pffftahahaha! I'm not insulting you, dude."

[drakenguard]

"You're laughing at me..."

Yamato was beginning to sound sulky now, turning back around to give Kaito a petulant look.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"I'm laughing that you tripped. See what I mean by overthinking things?"

[drakenguard]

Yamato let out a disgruntled huffing noise, his eyes narrowing before he allowed the explanation to pass. "Still, I highly doubt a breeze would knock me over. I'm not, uh, blowed."

Plowed, Yamao.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Plowed. Wasted. Stumbling down drunk. Sauced."

He let this all sink in before smirking.

"Words that describe Yamato Hotsuin."

[drakenguard]

"...what strange synonyms you have for 'drunk'..." Yamato muttered beneath his breath before his brain caught up. "Wa- I said I'm not! I merely had difficulty with my balance! That can be brought on by a myriad of things!"

HUFF HUFF HOTSUNDERE POUT.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Yeah!" He paused, as if he were setting up for the punchline.

"Like drinking, for instance."

[drakenguard]

Yamato looked like he was ready to headbutt Kaito, or at the very least, smack him. "...this argument will have no end," he finally said, his tone raising a bit. "So we will end it here on the agreement to agree to disagree."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

It's not..." UUUUGH, why was Yamato so cute!?

"I'm just saying, you're gonna get sick if you keep it up."

[drakenguard]

"There's no need to be concerned about my health," Yamato said simply, turning his face away with a small huff, the alcohol giving his cheeks a faint pink hue, his lips almost set into a...pout? "I will be fine, I assure you."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Awww. That's not what Daichi saaaaaiiiid." Kaito, no.

What are you doing?

[drakenguard]

"...what, exactly, did, Shijima, say," Yamato growled, suddenly fixing Kaito with an intense stare. Curious his face turned a darker shade of red, clearly embarrassed. He knew where this was leading...

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"I don't know the details, but it was apparently an embarrassing experience for everyone! And you don't want that kinda thing to happen again, right?"

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

[drakenguard]

"......"

Yamato looked like he was trying to burn a hole through Kaito's head with his glaring, but after a moment he relented with a heavy sigh, pressing a hand against his forehead.

"That one's tongue is too loose, but I should've expected him to tell you about that..."

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

"Hey, just let me be worried, okay?"

For some reason, he just didn't seem very angry about the whole thing.

"All'm saying is you've had enough. Just relax!"

[drakenguard]

"Worried?"

Yamato felt a jumble of conflicting emotions at that. He didn't need to be fussed over like he was a little child, but there was also a strange, warm happiness that Kaito was fussing over him. He wasn't entirely sure how to react.

"Ah, hrmm..." Yamato grumbled, shifting his weight from side to side. "Fine. I'll...relax," he said hesitantly, and then stood there with an awkward sort of stiffness that said he clearly wasn't sure how one went about 'relaxing' - especially with someone who had rejected his clumsy affections a fortnight ago.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

He chuckled at Yamato just standing there, gesturing him to at least come over.

"Come on." Don't just stand over there away from him like a dumbass.

[drakenguard]

Yamato didn't move at first, but after a long pause he slowly shuffled over to Kaito with all the wariness of a feral cat, prepared to bolt at the slightest, sharp movement.

He stopped directly in front of Kaito, giving a low, disgruntled noise. "Is this close enough for you, or do you wish for me to be upon your toes?"
