Engagement party time!
WHO: Jirou and Kenta and their closest friends/the dates of the friends
WHERE: Jirou and Kenta's place...sort of. It's the apartment right next door.
WHEN: Forward-dated to April 15th evening
WHAT: It's their engagement party! So time for them to throw a party to celebrate.
WARNINGS: Alcohol consumption? Drunk shenanigans? I mean this is a Jirou thrown party.
[Jirou has made sure the invitations have gone out to all their closest friends. He's even asked Kenta who he felt closest to who isn't himself and Fai to make sure he isn't just inviting his own friends. Even if he is sure that Kenta would be just as happy with that too. But this is something for the both of them so it's important that they represented that.
So Jirou has decorated the apartment right next to their own to look like a classy Japanese household and there were various sake bottles around. Why? Because this party is a sake tasting party! There's even yummy looking snacks around! Next to each snack and bottle is a little description of what it is and where it comes from. Jirou has so much sake that it only makes sense that he'd have a wide variety!
Don't worry, there are yummy juices to try for those who can't drink. The only rules is that you have to at least be 21 to try the alcohol!
And on the balcony one will find a karaoke setup! That's right you can drink your heart out and then go sing your heart out! Jirou's got the best equipment and tracks for a huge variety of songs. You're sure to find your favorite there!
So have fun! And bring a date! The dress code is semi-formal but you don't have to worry about sticking so strongly to that this time. Jirou will let it slide this once if you're not perfect.]

[When Derek heard got the invitation he started to panic. He could bring a date? However, he didn't panic for too long and he pretty quickly asked Lillian to be his date. She said yes, and he started to breath again. Knowing that the party was being partyly hosted by Jirou and that there would be a lot of sake there, instead of driving he own car, he called and Uber. Hopefully he won't make a fool of himself and get completely plastered, but since he is responsible for getting Lillian home, he's going to opt out of driving and depend on a safer mode of transportation.
He arrives at the party with Lillian and he's usually near her unless she wanders off somewhere to talk to someone. If he's not trying sake or singing Karaoke, he's probably either chatting with Lillian or by himself enjoying a few snacks. He is in a really good mood and will welcome any conversation.]
II: Sake tasting and snacks
[Derek is at the sake tasting table and is looking at all the bottles. He has had sake before, but he's never had sake this nice. He has a small plate with some snacks on it but he is absolutely stumped on which sake to try first.]
Which one should I try first?
III: Karaoke
[Derek would not be Derek if he didn't do some Karaoke. So you will find him at some point during the night out on the balconey and flipping through the song book, trying to decide which song he should sing. Please join him. Singing a duet will ony make him more happy.]
no subject
[Yep, there's Iwai and he's casually walking up to Derek. Why wouldn't he? He does know him, after all. Besides it's kind of nice to know more than just a couple of people here.
Well okay so he basically is close to a grand total of three now but that's still better than two right?]
Could change my answer on which one to try.
no subject
Yeah, I've had it plenty of times with Tatsuo, but I'm not sure what type it was.
no subject
[Given how rich Jirou and Kenta seem to be he really isn't surprised they can afford to just randomly share a bottle at a party like this.]
no subject
[Derek is still getting use to having REALLY rich friends.]

[Derek grabs a small glass and pours himself some of the most expensive alcohol he's probably ever going to drink in his life. He swirls it in his cup a few times and then takes a sip.]
What?
[Derek takes another sip.]
Are you sure this is sake and not some fancy water? It's creamy and... clean? Like, there isn't an aftertaste to it.
[Derek is super confused. This sake is nothing like the sake that Tatsuo buys. Mainly because Tatsuo is cheap and buys cheap sake.]
no subject
You must be drinking cheap ass stuff if it's got an aftertaste you remember that much.
[He helps himself to some of the sake too, sipping at it. Damn that's smooth shit.]
Good sake like this is smooth as hell. Just like drinking really pure water that'll knock you on your ass after awhile. Well, unless you're that Jirou guy. Pretty sure Fai's friend can't actually drink too much.
no subject
Yes, Jirou can drink quite a bit. Kenta... I'm not sure. I haven't drank alcohol with him very much to gauge his limit. We actually go and drink different teas together. It started when we were debating which tea was better, Japanese or English.
no subject
[A pause and then...]
Japanese tea is better, by the way.
no subject
You too eh? Kenta's the same way. He does like putting cream or sugar in his tea. He says English tea is much too sweet.
no subject
[He gets some sake to drink.]
Doesn't change the fact that Japanese tea is better.
no subject
Pray tell how so?

II.
[Why is he at a sake tasting party, then? His boyfriend invited him here for the engagement party.]
You'd probably have better luck asking Jirou.
....Actually, don't do that. He'd probably say something weird like 'Drink ALL of them!'
Re: II.
Yeah, I don't think Jirou is that picky when it comes to his alcohol.
[Derek sticks out his hand for the man to shake.]
I'm Derek Matthews by the way. You?
no subject
Orion Jacobson. Nice to meet you.
You more familiar with Jirou or... [What was his name again?] the other lucky guy?
no subject
no subject
You train?
[Come to think of it, he hasn't been to the training hall in a long while. He wonders if he should, all things considered.
He probably shouldn't.]
Because of a past life, or....?

What happened in October to almost kill you? Was the fog that bad?
no subject
Six black hooded figures, which I now know are called Dementors, and they suck out your soul with something called a Dementors Kiss. I had to light three of them on fire. One Dragon, one Griffin, one motorcyclist with no face wielding a machete, 1 freaky ass ghost that wanted to eat me, one one other crazy hooded figure person who somehow attempted to strangle me twice without even touching me, and one building that not only had red eyes watching you, there was also a vine that just about strangled me against the wall. I still don't understand how I managed to get out of that one.
And that's just the stuff that tried to kill me.
cw: mentions of Schizophrenia
Jesus fucking Christ. I didn't... The fog things could actually kill you?
[He hadn't felt Lilly. At all. She didn't bother to touch him. Just tormented him for his past life sins. Enough for him to figure it was just something that he imagined. He didn't think they could actually do anything to you.]
You lit them on fire? That... wow, that's alot of shit. Are you okay? I mean like... obviously, you're fine here. But are you okay-okay?
Re: cw: mentions of Schizophrenia
no subject
Were you trying to set the whole city on fire?
[A sigh on his part.]
You got to deal with alot of monsters huh? The only monster I dealt with was a dragon, and it knocked the shit out of me. Everything else was truth or dare, or fetching.
no subject
[This is what happens when you go through hell Orion. You start brushing off near death experiences and casually talk about them.]
