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. ]

[ Whatever you call it, wow. ]

...Yes.

[ Slowly, ]

Sorry, I just. You do know we've got vampires here, don't you?

[identitypolitics]

I mean, you just told me, so now I know, sure? As long as no one's going to gnaw on me out of nowhere, it's none of my business.

[at_heart]

No. No one's... [ Trails off. ] How is this news to you?

[ And then he cuts himself off. Ren hadn't... wait, he supposes she did kind of avoid telling him at first. It only came up because of the cards and her feelings about appropriation. Does she not normally tell people...? ]

[at_heart]

[ Okay, well, that's all the vampire outing he's going to do today. ]

Trust me, the woman I'm talking about has plenty of willing donors.

[identitypolitics]

[ mostly she knows that ren has a sweet tooth not a BLOOD tooth

but also that implies that it's someone she should know well which means "probably on her unit" so time to fuck around and find out later ]

...okay, well, good for her. I mean, get it, girl, nice.

But the point is, you need more juice?

[at_heart]

[ Lips. Quirked. ]

...Yes.

[ Beat. ]

On account of the part where I like being bitten.

[identitypolitics]

Yes, I'd gathered, thank you.

So, what, right now?

[at_heart]

[ A smothered laugh. He shakes his head. ]

Sorry. But also? Yeah, if you wouldn't mind.

[identitypolitics]

...all right.

[ and without further prompting, leans over, places her palms very gently flat against his chest, and applies energy recharge to put a little more general pep (and blood) in his step.

although she also leans in to kiss him briefly on the cheek at the same time before stepping back and patting him on the shoulder. ]

Have fun out there.

[ —Well. ] [ Huh.

He should definitely be reacting more to the power usage (it was mildly shocking) and less to that, but. ]

[at_heart]

[ He is honestly only just resisting the very juvenile urge to put a hand over his cheek. A few blinks, and then — he gives her a slow smile. ]

That, I think, I can promise you.

[identitypolitics]

[ fingerguns ]

Do at least several things Suou wouldn't do.

[at_heart]

[ —And he does like you. ]

Already taken care of, probably, but I'll keep up the good work.

[identitypolitics]

Then keep up the good work. Give my regards to the lady.

[at_heart]

[ Grin. ]

Pretty sure that's gonna be her line. Your services will be appreciated.

[identitypolitics]

Well. In that case I won't keep you.

[at_heart]

[ A little mock-salute, and off he goes~. ]
