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.

Excuse me? Ah...um...

How old are you?

[heaventenant]

Old enough, don't worry about that sort of thing. Say, you want a drink too? Two is a crowd y'know.

[ibarakasen]

[Oh gods wait no don't kick her out into the open like THA-!!

Chapter 9: The Bad End.]

...

[Nope. She's got nothing but that.]

[humblericeball]

Uh um I sh-shouldn't! I'm not o-old enough a-and drinking can m-make you very sick!

[heaventenant]

If you drink fast enough before the sickness sets in then you'll have nothing to worry about. So come on, I won't tell if you won't, really.

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

Oh no, it'd be no good for you to lose your tolerance for alcohol. What ever would you be able to do if you can't win drinking contests?

[weekwizard]

An oni without alcohol tolerance? That would be an interesting thing to study.

[green_eyed]

Oh no, you'll get drunk faster, what a fucking shame.

[humblericeball]

I...

I don't know.

Mom al-always said to be careful with alcohol.

[heaventenant]

[Frantically downloads the latest chapter--]

...

[O H.]

Hey there, fancy a drink?

[It's okay. Don't be scaaared. Come ooon.]

[heaventenant]

Have to switch to challenges of strength I'm guessing. But where's the fun in that if both parties don't end up smashed on the floor?

[heaventenant]

No it wouldn't, what a waste of time. In fact, forget the studying altogether. Let's just have a party at your place, maybe bring in some dom perignon.

[ibarakasen]

[HAHA sorry about that.]

Uh...

[Craaaaap. No good no good no-]

I don't drink.

[Praying to every god imaginable that is indicative of Suika not recognizing her.]

[heaventenant]

Hey there princess! Don't worry, there'll be plenty of drink going around. By the time I'm up again you'll have been able to drink thrice your fill.

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

If it takes away your alcohol tolerance, Suika, I'm afraid it will also take away your oni strength. And unless those density powers of yours are truly being used to keep yourself little like you are and your natural ogre form is a lot bigger, you'll be stuck being as strong as a little girl, as well.

[She says as though she doesn't know the answer to... all of that.]

[heaventenant]

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!]

[heaventenant]

[ITS ALL GOOD~]

You don't? Aaah. But it's a special occasion. Come on, just one saucer.

[Look, she's already pouring some sake out and everything.]

Do I know you? It's too late for the 'I know all about you' line now. I'd rather not go back to that anyway.

[heaventenant]

... Now that's just outright not playing fair. I'd sooner reach the bottom of this gourd than I would be able to forget somethin' like that. Stuck as a 'little girl'. Feh.

[Now sounds like an excellent time for some booze. Better break out the cups and bowls.]

Even if you're lying it's as good of an excuse as any to drink something down.

[weekwizard]

No. your 'parties' are far too disruptive for my tolerance. Take them elsewhere, like the shrine, or the rat-witch's house.

[ibarakasen]

[LUCKY DAY.]

No, you can keep it. I wouldn't keep an oni from their drink, it'd just go to waste over here.

[That and she doesn't want to, yanno... go back to any old habits.]

As for the other... I think we... may have run into each other a couple of times.

[Trying so hard to end this conversation before she's recognized... not even likely, Kasen.]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

[Gaps are good for that. Say hello to things to drink out of! Yukari will never say no to alcohol, after all.]

Well, you don't much get a choice in a place like that. It's sort of like that where I am, now. Imagine that, Suika, me, having to walk long distances to get places.

[She gives a chuckle.] So yes, things like that do exist, and I don't believe you get much say in if you're going there, either.

[heaventenant]

You must be a little curious as to how a party in a library might play out. The guests can all put books on their heads whilst calling them hats and chanting out lines from some literature or another. We might even find some new brand of alcohol there!

[heaventenant]

[Hmmm~]

I thought so, I never forget a face. Sometimes. [The drink gets in the way now and then.] Here, it's poured out and waiting. You wouldn't decline a drink from an oni would you?

[Griiin~]

[weekwizard]

That is not how books should be treated. I refuse.

[heaventenant]

[As resourceful as ever Yukari! Saucers, cups, whatever, meet endless supply of alcohol.]

Perish the thought. Walking, really? I'd sooner think that was just the drink talking but you've yet to get started.

[So hop to it~] I might not get a say in them but I'll be sure to make my displeasure known. Maybe turn a mountain to sand and pick a few fights because I feel like it.
