Izakaya Drunkenness [OPEN]

WHO: Derek, Tatsuo, and Anyone else who is sad Japan lost Asia Cup 2019
WHERE: Some low key Izakaya in Tribunal Terrace
WHEN:Early to late evening (after 5pm) Feb 1, 2019
WHAT: Japan lost Asia Cup and Derek is being a supportive friend and helping Tatsuo mourn
WARNINGS: Drinking, alcohol, drunken crying, which will probably carry over into the Retrospec post




Derek, like any other ardent soccer fan, was following Asia Cup very closely. He check in on the game during lunch and was later sad to find that Japan lost. Due to Tatsuo being one of his close friend, his only choice was to support Japan and he was really hoping that they would win. Sadly, his hopes were replaced with disappointment. Of course, no one was a sad as Tatsuo. The look of forlorn sadness made Tatsuo look like a puppy that had been kicked multiple times. This only meant one option: Cheer Tatsuo up by taking him out for sake and food. What else was there to do? Tatsuo was there for him when Japan lost and then France's win in FIFA, so the only logical solution was to do the same for Tatsuo.

Instead of doing work he looked up an Izakaya, and sent out a text through all of Retrospec:

Due to Japan's loss in Asia Cup today, I mourn in the solemn moment for anyone else that was supporting Japan in hopes of a victory. I, as a supportive friend, am dragging Tatsuo to [insert name of place] Izakaya in Tribunal Terrace after work (after 5pm) and will probably be there for many hours. All others heart broken due to the result of the cup are welcome to come and join us in drinking sake, eating various food (yakitori, curry, omurice, yakisoba, etc.), and supporting each other in this sad loss. May Japan win next Asia Cup!

A bit of a dramatic text, but when is Derek never dramatic?

When 5pm hits, Derek drags Tatsuo to the Izakaya and starts ordering food. The establishment is small and quaint, but Derek heard the menu selection and food was excellent. And the place had good ratings on google.

If you come by, you will see Tatsuo and Derek probably on their 2nd or 3rd bottle of sake with various plates on the table. Join them and experience what it will be like to be around two very drunk CSI. Not there yet... but they will be.

[It's pretty hard to forget he's drunk. It's pretty funny, though.

Playing along, he puts a hand over his heart in agreement.]


Indeed.

...Aren't they hosting, too?

Heh. Homeland loyalty, huh?

[Rean's just going to slip into a seat.]

I mean, I'm from here, so I guess by that logic I have to hope we get the bronze. Doesn't sound like a bad top three, though!

[That earns a soft laugh.]

I can't say you don't have a point, but come on. I feel like we have to at least pretend to have hope.
