Karaoke bar mingle, Day 433 evening

[sangreine]

Who: Alizarin, Lupine, Venti, and AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
Where: Karaoke Bar, Pasela Resort
When: Day 433, evening

[ At the karaoke bar, the rooms are decorated in the style of LiliS, SensitIV, ☆Zrael, Wild City, Avante, and HSS as the "winners" of the latest horrifying game, dubious though the title is.  A group is gathering there in search of some mutual comfort after these recent, trying days, with plans for lots of drinks, songs, and plenty of cuddles for whoever wants them -- won't you join them? ]

[ A handwritten sign just at the entrance reads: ]

Rules: 
1. No brooding
2. Anyone wanting to engage in "improper behavior" must get permission from Suou Tsukasa

[ -- that last one is probably just a dig at the poor boy for attempting to moralize to immortals, but do with it as you like. ]

[ Everyone who was at Ideal Worlds endgame, knows the three party planners, is in their units, or just heard about this shindig through the robust hell grapevine should consider themselves invited!  In fact, you might have been dragged against your will -- they are a rather incorrigible bunch, after all. ]

Comments

[ Venti smashes back drink-for-drink with Saya, not unlike how they did that time they first met. This may only be the second time, but it already feels like tradition.

Not that he's even near drunk yet either.

Her playing, though, has his rapt attention -- enough that he even sets the drinks aside to listen with the appreciation one might expect from the god of music. He doesn't interrupt, just enjoys.

Once she's finished, though, he explodes into applause. ]

You're incredible!! I had no idea!

[sangreine]

[ Grabbing a drink or three and slugging them back, boy does she need them after that -- but Rule #1, so she won't make a thing about how painful that was. ]

I figured it was time to repay some of those favors I owe you. I wasn't sure which kind of song you'd like so... [ hence, the variety. Yep that was all for your benefit, sir. ]

[outofoffice]

[ babe maybe you should tell him these things though ]

Oh, I see. You really are incorrigible about these so-called "favors," huh?

[sangreine]

[ Look you try explaining why you hate something but can't remember why without your head exploding, it ain't easy. And besides, she managed, it made him happy, it was worth it. ]

I'm incorrigible about everything, or so I've been told. [ Raises a glass for him to clink! Shall they drink to the eternal (adorable) disapproval of Tsukasa? ] I take it as a compliment.

[outofoffice]

[ Clink! Cheers! CHUG ]

Everything is quite a lot. You must get tired.

[sangreine]

I don't think that's a weakness of mine, as long as I drink enough. [ And no, not the drink she pounds back. Or the next one. (It's blood, she means blood.) ]

I'm almost always restless. That's why I like doing things that burn energy. [ She said something like this before, but he was grey at the time so who knows what sunk in. ] And also why I can be incorrigible about everything. I have to amuse myself somehow.

[outofoffice]

[ Yes, well -- about that.

Peering at her over the rim of his glass, looking amused. ]

Strenuous activities, huh?

[sangreine]

[ A considering glance before she leans back to slug down another full drink. ]

How better to contend with my overactive biology? Pity so few around here have the stamina for it. [ Challenge thrown, sir. ]

[outofoffice]

Ohhh? How troublesome. Your selection of non-humans is limited, admittedly . . .

. . . But not zero.

[ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ]

[sangreine]

[ Laughing softly, ] Some humans can keep up. For a while. And they do make the cutest little sounds, don't they?

[ However, ] It would be especially nice to not have to think for a good, long while. [ And now a wolfish grin, and she's just going to sliiiide over and into his lap, if there are no objections. He can still drink with how she's angled. ] If you have any ideas...?

[outofoffice]

Hmmm~

[ He makes space for her, slugging back a drink without a care in the world. Once the glass is discarded, he lightly slings that arm around her waist. ]

I can think of at least a few dozen! The particularly faint-of-heart might find these activities difficult to bear witness to, though.

[sangreine]

[ Leaning back to snag one of her colorful drinks and drag it closer, but rather than pick it up the occupies herself stroking Venti's hair. Pets are the best, aren't they? ]

A few dozen, that's a nice start. I suppose we'll have to make sure anyone without the proper constitution keeps out of sight. And earshot. [ Come to think of it, karaoke bars have soundproofed rooms. But then so do the ☆Zrael rooms. ]

[outofoffice]

[ Yesss they are, if the way he shamelessly leans into it is any indication. Distractedly: ]

Mmmhmmm . . . any suggestions?

[sangreine]

[ Grinning a bit, she does like when they cooperate so nicely. She leans down to nose at his temple, down his cheek, under his jaw to try and get at his neck (not to bite, but the tease is always there). She smells sweet, and not in a cliché sense; her skin still carries the scent of honey and sweet cream from earlier escapades, and remnants of all the sugar drinks she's been mainlining linger on her breath. ]

Depends how patient you are. [ She's been in and out of her clothes a few times already tonight, so she might actually find some patience for once, if she has to, if it's to good enough purpose. ] Karaoke rooms are soundproofed, or my dorm has a great view of the night sky in storm with plenty of pillows around.

[ Glancing around a bit, ] I might need to pick something up on the way, whatever the case. [ Someone, she means of course. She has a feeling he won't mind. ]

[outofoffice]

[ Venti tips his head to give her even more room to do that, the hand on her waist wandering -- two fingers tracing every single bump along the length of her spine ]

I'll always take a view of the stars over the alternative.

[ Tokyo is truly hell for a little nature elf like himself. ]

But some brief errands along the way is fine~~

[sangreine]

[ Huffing against his neck, half a chuckle (because that room is fast becoming her preferred hookup space) and half in appreciation for his fingers tracing up her corset lacing. ] You sure you're all through here? I'd hate to make you miss the songs. And I can misbehave right here for a while.

[ Trailing a slow, lingering path down his neck with her mouth; it seems patience agrees with her. ] Or along the way, if you'd rather.

[outofoffice]

[ He teasingly tugs the top lace loose, with the skill of a seasoned expert at corsets. He goes no farther, though, simply tangling his finger in the lace. ]

Hehe, well~ If we misbehave here for a little while, we could probably get through a few more drinks, too.

[sangreine]

Maybe we'll even get lectured about proper decorum. [ Which sounds just hysterical, so she slides a hand up his chest to toy with the collar of whatever he's got on like the irreverent thing she is. Her other hand, still stroking his hair, gives a little playful tug and her mouth works its lazy way to the hollow of his throat, listening for his pulse (habit, and she's curious where it sits at rest so she'll know when she finds a good spot). ]

You need your lap back, or should I get comfortable? [ Either way really, but given the choice she'd stay put. Touching is superior to not touching in every possible way. Maybe they can sweet talk someone into refilling them without needing to move. ]

[outofoffice]

I think this is what my lap is for, actually.

[ His resting pulse is as lazy and leisurely as he is -- so that will be quite the point of reference.

He tips his head, the tug earning an appreciative sound. The hand not tangled in her corset opts for selflessness, though -- holding his own glass up to her lips. ]

But if I didn't know any better, I'd assume you were hoping to get in trouble.

[sangreine]

[ Ah, wonderful. She does so enjoy a challenge, some people are way too quick to get hot and bothered -- fun in its way, but if she wanted that she'd be sitting on someone else. And taking a healthy swig of that drink, but unless he forces the matter she has better things to do with her mouth, and it's not like she'll feel anything anyway. ]

Hoping for trouble, me? [ She does a pathetic job of sounding winsome and innocent, and grazes his neck with her fangs to punctuate the point nicely. ] Honestly, how dare you.

[outofoffice]

[ He finishes off the rest of the drink himself before discarding the glass, his now-freed hand resting on her hip. The tingle of the fangs on his neck earns a pleasant shiver. ]

If I've spoken out of turn, do something about it.

[sangreine]

[ She does like that shiver, and that he well knows exactly what he's doing by teasing her hunting instincts. The hand in his hair gives a good wrench to yank his head back, shifting in his lap so he'll get just a hint of her glowing red eyes and a thorough mapwork of the rest of her where she's pressed against him. ]

[ She doesn't need to consider what to do with his delightfully insolent mouth, however; her lips drag up his neck, fangs scoring the turn of his jaw, licks at the corner of his mouth and then hovers there, watching him with her predator's eyes. ]

May I? [ Though she doesn't tend to ask permission after being so challenged, she does like to ask before drawing blood when she has her wits about her. Drinking blood, that's way more personal and intimate than sex, to her mind. Her tongue flickers over his lower lip to make clear where she's aiming for; nothing much, tidy and efficient and easily fixed. ]

[outofoffice]

[ He smirks in response to his head being wrenched back, irreverent and entirely unrepentant.

His hand glides lower, tracing the curve of her hip, taking his time to answer for no good reason. ]

Hmmm . . . after careful consideration, you may.

[sangreine]

[ There are plenty of possible reasons, none of which she particularly favors -- except that it's so fitting for him to be as big a pain as possible, and he did agree, so there's only so put out she can be. ]

Smartass, [ she murmurs as she bites down on his lip, nice and slow, in a way she isn't when she feeds solely for nourishment. Her fangs retract as soon as their purpose is accomplished; she's not after a meal, just a taste. Enough to get her going a little, by the indolent but eager way she kisses and laps at him. She makes a soft sound, almost a growl, but it's more human than otherwise. ]
