OPEN POST ♞ HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME

WHO: Makoto Naegi and anyone else!
WHERE: Various parts around Recolle!
WHEN: 07/01
WHAT: What do you do after accidentally breaking your little brother's jaw............. wallow in guilt, that's what
WARNINGS:

ONE
Naegi really isn't the type to hang around bars. He's already learnt his lesson after Manon somehow managed to drag him into one last year and she forced him to drink till he was red in the face (he thinks he's a pretty forgiving person but damn... that's a hard one to pass), but sometimes... a drink does sound good.

Especially if you're drowning in guilt.

So when Naegi goes for his nightly visit to the local casino, rather than sitting at a poker table or the roulette, he finds himself sitting at the bar. It's a rare sight considering that he hardly ever goes near it whenever he's here but there he is... a drink in his hand and his head on the table. He can either be:

A) Not drunk (yet) because he hasn't really started drinking. He has his head down on the table because he feels so damn ashamed that he can't really lift up his head right now to look at anyone. The beer in his glass is still full and it looks like he's wallowing more than actually doing any drinking.

B) Already drunk. Luckily(?) for him, it doesn't really take much for him hit this point anyway. The one good thing about going out with Manon that night was that he knows what his limit is so he doesn't need to figure out what it'll take for him to become a little tipsy. Now the new reason why he has his head on the bar table is that he's lightheaded and red in the face. Getting up might be a mistake so he'll just stay here. And loiter, probably.
TWO
Pretty much the same prompt above but at a bar not inside the casino. Both options A and B are avilable as well! The only difference about this prompt (asides from the location) is that...

... there's a crane with him.

He couldn't leave it at home while he's out for the night. He possibly can't ask Daisuke to look after it, not after what happened a few hours earlier, so he brought it out with him. It occasionally pecks his head or pulls on his hair while his head is on the bar table but he doesn't do anything to stop it.

He's wallowing in guilt right now, crane, please leave him be.
THREE
Naegi knows that he has to go home eventually. He knows that running away does nothing and he has to face the truth but for this one night... he thinks he'll avoid going back.

He doesn't exactly have the money to rent a hotel room (well... maybe more like he doesn't want to spend the money for one) and he doesn't want to inconvenience his friends to ask if he can crash at their place. In fact, another reason why he doesn't want to contact his friends is that he doesn't want them to find out why he needs to be out of the apartment for tonight. It's already shameful enough for him to know what he did but it might be worse if others knew, so he decides that maybe walking around the city for the night will be a good idea. The only problem is that after hours of walking, sitting down on a random bench to rest...

... causes him to knock out.

Thankfully, the crane is with him so if anything happens, it would probably wake him up. Maybe... Quite possibly... Not really. It will just stand next to him as he sleeps sitting up and wouldn't really do anything if someone were to approach so if you were to draw on his face, take his wallet (spoilers: it's empty), or steal his shoe, it won't really do anything.

It's such a loyal bird.

Anything is game! PM me or toss me a private plurk at [plurk.com profile] northpaws if you want to do something outside the above options or to discuss anything! Will be replying with action tags rather than prose!

Ngh, they are rather pricey...

[Maybe once he pays off his grandfather's debt, he can focus on saving up and getting her a grand piano of sorts.]

Then... what should we do? [Where did all that energy go? It's like a balloon losing all of its air...]
steadycourse: (Gosh)

[personal profile] steadycourse 2018-07-30 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that really enough...?

[It sounds appealing, Ishimaru can definitely see that. But just doing something so common for someone that's so special, he just isn't sure if it's enough.]

She deserves so much more!
steadycourse: (Shock)

[personal profile] steadycourse 2018-07-30 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
A party...?

[But he doesn't think her birthday is anytime soon... unless, Makoto just meant throwing one anyway!]

Just a party to celebrate how special she is?! We can do such a thing?! [Somehow, this is news to him.]
steadycourse: (Sparkle)

[An idea that seems so simple... but rather ingenious overall! He can't find any fault with this plan. Most people like parties and he's certain that Kaede is one of them!]

'Why not'... you have a strong point there! [Really, Ishi?] We can invite all of her friends too! I hear that the more, the merrier!
steadycourse: (With the professor)

Are surprise parties really that popular?!

[He's never thrown a surprise party before! He's barely attended parties in general, honestly... so this might be a challenge to him!]

If you think she'll like it, then yes! I'll take part in Kaede's Best Surprise Party! I'll be counting on your help as well!!

[Makoto is now dragged into this. Maybe a couple more alcoholic drinks will help.]
steadycourse: (Huh)

[Ishimaru will be there to ensure that there's no underage drinking until then. You're welcome, Naegi.]

You don't mind having it at your apartment?! Isn't it small?! [He doesn't mean to insult Naegi so much and yet. He's mostly just thinking of how many people can fit there.]
steadycourse: (Sparkle)

That's fine! We can always sit on the ground too, just make sure you vacuum before the party starts!

[Just putting all these chores on Naegi...]

Don't worry, I'll assist you!
steadycourse: (For the next day)

Sounds like a plan!

[He's definitely looking forward to this! With their efforts combined, they'll surely make this party memorable!]

So, you're feeling a little better now, Makoto? I realize that we've strayed far from the original topic!
