What am I doing

[heaventenant]

What's happening, are we going out for some exercise? I'd much rather stay up here and live the dream for a little longer. Drinking until we sleep, sleeping until we drink, so on and all that. Besiiides, you're a human right? There's really nothing you can do about that. Unless you become a youkai.

And the putting me somewhere thing too.

Anyway, I'd be lying if I said there's nothing you could do in one sense or the other. You're the one running this party after all. If you're the feast master then arrange a decent venue for the festivities. Let's gather all the people up and drink until we can no longer speak!

... A place where I lose my tolerance for alcohol? That's cheap! I really won't be able to talk if that happens. And then how will everyone know how to get to the party? You're organising a flop.

Let's start slow then, just the bottom of the saucer for now. Once we've played it safe we can throw caution to the wind. Or something like that.

[Time to pour out some sake!]

A-Are you sure...? (Tohru eyes the saucer uncertainly.) Will you m-make sure I don't have too much?

[heaventenant]

Sure, I'll keep an eye on ya'. I wouldn't be much of an oni if I said 'let's take it slow' and suddenly we're roaring drunk. In one respect, not in another.

[humblericeball]

Oni...? (Gently, she picks up the saucer and takes a sip. Spluttering at the taste, she covers her mouth and blushes in embarrassment.) I-I'm sorry! This is...my first time.

(Of course the...Oni?...already knew that.)

Do you mind me asking why you call yourself an Oni? Is that your family name?

[heaventenant]

Everyone has to start somewhere! [Suika herself just downs the full saucer in a matter of seconds.]

Don't know anyone who has Oni as a name like that. I probably call myself an oni because I am an oni, with mountain destroying strength and everything.
