WHO: sorey and the bachelor party retinue
WHERE: relataxations, narook's noodlery, barcade, and maybe (possibly) chocobo stables
WHEN: backdated to 12/31
WHAT: a bachelor party!
WARNINGS: TBA (although some drinking and stupid drunks)

A. RELATAXATIONS, CLOSED TO SOREY. MORNING.

[no one call tell prompto that procrastinating doesn't make things happen, because today sure is happening. he woke up early to double check everything (and walk his dogs) before heading out to sorey's home. he's effectively kidnapped the other for a day of fun! first, however, prompto directs him to their 8:30AM appointment at relataxations.]

The entire spa treatment, Sorey. You need it after stressin' over the wedding.

Put your game face on, dude.

[and he's here to take pictures with his camera to commemorate the occasion, too. say cheese!]

B. NAROOK'S NOODLERY, OTA. AFTERNOON.

[this is where the lads are going to meet up for lunch before they head out to the barcade. the place looks pretty traditional, as does the inside of it, but there's supposed to be really good soups here: filling noodles and every other ingredient one could dream of. there's even the savory seaweed noodles, which is apparently the house's special. try not to out-drink each other yet!]

C. BARCADE, OTA. LATE AFTERNOON & EVENING.

[don't drink yourself silly yet, because you're literally going to a barcade. order as many drinks as your heart desires, it'll go on the tab, as well as whatever greasy food will keep you guys going. give it a shot at the gaming, too! or perhaps karaoke calls to you more? the sky's the limit and, quite honestly, it's about sorey having fun before his big day (and not get too drunk, because of his big day).]

NEW GAME+ OPTION. CHOCOBO STABLES, OTA. DEPTHS OF THE NIGHT.

[what is the smartest thing several adult men can do, after having probably gotten shitfaced at the barcade? well, to visit the chocobo stables, clearly. for what reason? to pet chocobos!]

[are the stables closed? it's fine--no one's going to notice them, anyway. maybe.]

[It's not like Zaveid is one of the biggest gamers in the world or anything like that-- he likes games okay, has fun with the one system he owns, but this? This is basically heaven.

So he'll be spending the evening happily flitting between eating way too much food, offering to buy people drinks, and finding Recolle's equivalent of House of the Dead (Manor of the Deceased?) and proceeding to play the hell out of it.]

C'mon, play this with me!

[He'll wave everyone over. Even people just passing by him for more food and drink.]

Chocobos
[Hell yeah, who is going to turn down illegally entering the stables to harass some giant birds?? This is awesome! Zaveid himself is kind of... beyond drunk at this point.

But he's still his annoyingly follows-the-law self, which means anyone making a bit too much of a mess will get a]

Hey, be careful! We gotta make sure no one realizes we were here!

[...But once they actually get to the chocobos.]

Aww, who's a good boy?! This guy is so cute!

chocobos!

[mercurio]

[prompto's hugging one and got his face on the feathers of it, rubbing his face back and forth. chocobos are so cute and he loves them so much... this is a treat, especially after he's had a couple drinks too many]

I love 'im.

[the chocobo's only form of defense is to gently nudge prompto with its beak. it's the hair that makes it think it's another chocobo all up in its business]

[sivard]

[He pets at the one nearest him, which gives a soft kweh, in what's either happiness or sleepiness, it's not entirely clear which. Either way, the chocobo certainly doesn't seem bothered by the strange late-night attention.]

They're not bad for weird giant birds that replaced horses! They've got soft feathers~

[Yeah, he's completely wasted.]

[mercurio]

They're better than horses.

[late night confessions. the chocobo starts gnawing at his hair and prompto lifts his head]

Chocobos are a lot friendlier for one.

[openhanded]

[A. RELATAXATIONS (prompto)]
[Sorey is an early riser, so he's just as cheerful (if not nervous) about the whole thing. He's never been to a bachelors party before, let alone had one, so... he's not sure what to expect. But he has absolute faith in Prompto that all will be well.]

I've never actually been to a spa. I'm not sure what to -- [That's a camera. He laughs and poses, peace sign and everything.] -- not sure what to expect! You're coming in with me, right?

[The lady behind the counter looks kind of unimpressed, all things considered.]

[B/C. TOO MUCH FOOD AND... ALSO HISTORY FACTS]
[Sorey takes it slow, though it seems he has a bottomless stomach. That's... terrifying. He goes through several bowls of noodles, not discriminating between Italian or Japanese cuisine here.

But when it comes time to barcade? A couple drinks in and he's styling all over that DDR pad. He might not have any real moves but at least he can follow arrows on the screen. He's a machine. After burning off his energy thus, he's still excitable and tipsy and as a result very, very easy to distract.

For instance, he might strongarm someone into playing air hockey with him. The worst is a time traveling arcade shooter because as soon as he sees the pyramids, he's offended.]

What the-- that's not Khufu's pyramid! That's not the same shape at all! Did these people ever look in a history book? [And also:] Nope, that's wrong. The king of that time was Richard, not John. That's kind of a big deal, actually--

[Make him stop.]

[NG+++]
[Sorey is still slightly toasted when they sneak in to pet chocobos. This sounds like a great idea to him, for whatever reason, because chocobos are fluffy and soft and awesome and it's been so long since the petting zoo... a whole year, actually.

Sorey knocks over a small metal bucket and squeaks, surprising himself. And then, to no one in particular, he hisses:]

Sssshhh!!

NG+++

[sakeplz]

[He bursts into giggles.]

You're not good at sneaky! Me either.

[As he hums and keeps walking forward like the non-ninja he is.]

Here, birdie! I want to fluff your fluff!

[openhanded]

I've never been good at sneaky, [he says with a quiet laugh.] I was always the one to get us caught when I was a kid.

[Hell yeah, fluffing fluff! He peeks through the stable door and clicks his tongue.]

Hey birdie birdie! Who's a good birdie? Definitely you! [He whistles, to which he gets a kweh.

Sorey acts like his life has just been changed.] Oh! Oh my gosh! Jirou, it talked back!!

[sakeplz]

[Jirou giggles and pushes him towards the chocobo.]

Say something back! Say something back!

A!

[mercurio]

[that's a nice picture--]

Yeah, dude! There's no way I'm gonna let you go through this by yourself. You might as well have come here by yourself, right?

[he sets the camera down and flashes the big boy credit card to the lady, who immediately starts looking up their reservation for the day.]

Just relax, yeah? Tomorrow's the big day, so you gotta be at your best.

[he takes the card back, and the lady tells them to go past one of the doors so they can change]

[openhanded]

That's no fun at all. I'd probably end up doing something stupid like dropping my phone into the water, too.

[He knows exactly how clumsy he can be. But he's happy to have a bestie to go through this with, since he's never actually had the spa treatment. He grips Prompto's shoulder before they go inside.]

I can't believe it's tomorrow. A year ago I was still trying to find the right time to ask him out. [phew] Wow.

How... um, how much am I supposed to take off?

[This new age-looking room doesn't tell him much. Is it like an onsen? Can he leave his undies on? He has no idea.]

[mercurio]

Less than a year ago, I was helping you move in with him. And I never even knew.

[he grins at sorey, patting the hand on his shoulder, then continues on. he sets down his stuff inside one of the lockers and starts removing his shirt, then belt--]

Oh. I guess... You could leave on your underwear? We've got towels and bathrobes.

[he points at the ones folded for them on the bench]

[sakeplz]

B.

[Jirou's already been out drinking everyone since by the time he arrives he's already drunk. And he's ordering more food for everyone and making sure that everyone has way more to eat than they could ever hope to consume.]

Don't worry! My treat!

[He's rich guys. He can afford it.]


C.

[Jirou doesn't really understand video games that well but he sure does understand drinking! Which means that he's probably the reason why people are or getting drunk. Because magically the drinks just keep coming. Like some drunkard is continually ordering them and putting them all on his tab.

Good luck everyone...]

Who is ready for another drink!

[Said as he finishes another glass...]

C

[goen]

Givvit here!

[ Yato has had Way Too Much To Drink, but he'll never say no to a free beer. He's slouched at their table, clearly inebriated, but he waves for a refill. He is fully prepared to drink til he drops. ]

Thanks, fella. What'syer name again?

[sakeplz]

[Jirou is clearly here to drink everyone under the table as he gets his new friend more booze.]

Jirou! Hiiiii!

[And he bursts into giggles.]

[goen]

I'm Yato. Godda war.

[ He may have said that already one or more times this night, but it's fun to repeat it so he does. His slur is heavy like a bag of water. ]

So howdja know the main man? [ He points vaguely at Sorey, wherever he is. ]

c

[mercurio]

[prompto raises his hand, heavily. how can he video game at this arcade if he's too drunk?]

I'll do it!

[..he did kind of work himself up into this whole "maybe someone can drink more than you!" at jirou, and he'll regret it later.]

[sakeplz]

[Jirou giggles and makes sure another drink gets into Prompto's hand.]

Here you go! Though maybe you should stop soon. You might fall over! You have to save room for drinks tomorrow!

[mercurio]

[prompto frowns]

Listen, Jiji.

[he's slurring, pointing as he holds the bottle by the neck of it]

I told ya I'd somethin' about keeping up, right?

[fiddlestick]

C.
[Truth be told Elliot felt...more than a little out of place here. Don't get him wrong, it was really nice of Sorey to invite him along. How many grooms are nice enough to invite the wedding musician to their bachelor's party? Elliot hasn't worked any other weddings yet, but he has the feeling there's not a lot. Sorey is truly a great guy.

That said? Not only did Elliot not know most of the guys attending this party, there was also the glaring fact he was one of the only ones under 21. So when it comes time for the Barcade, Elliot finds himself with a big X marked on his hand, and confined to the arcade area. It felt like he was being forced to sit at the kiddy table, and having the bouncer cross-examine him when he showed his ID because he "didn't look 18"? Didn't really help his dignity.

But he'll try to make the best of it. He'll try out an assortment of different games, and will be happy to challenge anyone who wants to play him. He's decent at games, but he's hardly anything amazing. The only exception is any games that have any type of rhythm or pattern game - let him watch or play once? And the next time he goes, he'll be beating it like a pro. ]

Extra- Early evening
[ Lucky for him, he'll be leaving early enough before most of the party is too sloshed. New Years Eve is way too big a night for Club Sunshine to go without their musician, so right as it starts to reach the evening hours he'll be grabbing his coat to go. ]

Bye guys! Try not to get Sorey too hungover, okay?

EXTRA

[mercurio]

[ever the responsible chocobutt, he butts into elliot's goodbye like it's an offense.]

Wait, hold up.

[he's keeping steady. accomplishments.]

Y'gonna be okay going on y'own?

[fiddlestick]

[He gives a reassuring smile]

Y-Yeah, I should be fine! I'm just grabbing a bus.

[mercurio]

You got a bus card?

D'you need change for it?

[look, prompto's looking through his wallet to give you change, my dude]

C

[openhanded]

[Sorey's not bad at music-- he's good at DDR! But as soon as they get to the bongo game, he's screwed. Sorey tries his best to keep up, but he's defeated handily.]

I can't believe you-- that was-- wow. [He's a little tipsy, but not ridiculously toasted yet. He rubs at his red cheeks.] I guess I should've known better than to challenge you, but still. Three S's to my B! I didn't even know the rating went that high!

[fiddlestick]

[He gives a laugh as he wipes some sweat off his brow, smiling]

Haha, aw, you did really well though! All I really did was memorize the rhythm from an earlier playthrough.

[all he did.]

[openhanded]

Seriously? You've got photographic memory on top of the musical genius?

[ALL HE DID]

I have it too, but it only really comes in handy for history facts.
