WHO: Kiyomitsu Kashuu & you!
WHERE: Out and about all over Recolle
WHEN: Primarily July 8th/9th, but also through the rest of July
WHAT: Combo birthday and bingo shenanigans! Come for the drinks, stay for the bad fashion.
WARNINGS: Drinking and horrible outfits but otherwise N/A, will update if it changes!

July 8th
i. morning/afternoon, A Good Bean
[There sure is a lot of hustle and bustle around this little cafe today! Tables are being rearranged, the carafe carts are pushed to the side and out of the way, and a space has been cleared in the center of the room. Kiyomitsu stands in the middle of things, directing people who are carrying some very... eclectic outfits, and interchangeably dimming or brightening the lights in the dining area.

Are you just curious and poking your head in? Trying to avoid all this nonsense and get an espresso to wake you up for the long shift ahead? NOT ANYMORE. As soon as he spots you, his target is Locked and he's trotting on over.]

Hm... You! You've totally got the look I need. Gimme just ten minutes of your time, okay? I just need a few more people.

[It's not just ten minutes. It's never just ten minutes. And did someone carrying sparkle mesh just walk by? Maybe you should hightail it outta here while you still can...]

ii. evening, various bars
[So after a fashion show that may or may not have been a hit and may or may not have involved the authorities briefly being called, Kiyomitsu is free for the day! Free to enjoy his new ability to go to bars legally at long last...! He might keep his fake ID for fond memory's sake, though. It got him through so many tough times...

But for now, he's treating himself - with other people's money in a mutually beneficial bingo arrangement. If he spots anyone who appears to be looking at a bingo card or overhears someone so much as say the word bingo, he's turning right on over.]

If you buy me a birthday drink, I'll help you fill your card out. Deal?

iii. late night/earlyass morning, around town
[Occasionally, he'll be taking breaks from his long and arduous 21 Run™ and can be found sitting on sidewalks or benches outside of the bars he's being dragged through. Naturally, that means he's a prime target for the late night street vendors and their deliciously fried and salted foods... There goes a cart with barbequed meats! And another selling fresh greasy pastries!

Eventually, Kiyomitsu will just turn to the nearest person - stranger or not - and point toward the closest cart.]

Let's go get some of that.

[It's a necessity.]

July 9th
iv. afternoon, Peach Beach
[His shades have made a return, as has his old friend, hangover... Kiyomitsu's had an honestly rank morning and it isn't even because of the hangover so much as some shiny new abilities.

And of course, he's dealing with them like a champ by pretending they're absolutely not a thing! Why worry about freaky voodoo swords when you can gripe about the sun, instead?? He may have to be out here for Important Bingo Reasons, but that doesn't stop him from whining like the world is personally against him. Said whining only stops when someone happens to walk between him and the sun, at which point he'll immediately look up and say, very flatly:]

I'll pay you ten bucks if you just stand there and block out the sun for a little bit.

[Save him.]

wildcard;
[Hit me with whatever you're down for! Kashuu's bingo card is here and he's open for any bingo shenanigans all month!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

O-kay, you got it—

[UP HE GOES and oh god he nearly knocks someone's drink over before he's even standing, this doesn't bode well.

Still, he'll take the drink - not spilling any on Yamato or Baren, miraculously - and toss it back after raising it overhead as instructed. And then he strikes a ludicrous pose and does a turn like he's at the end of a catwalk. Somehow, his ass still doesn't fall.]

Thank you, thank you!

[Because there are a few rowdy and/or drunk people applauding, he'll even take a few mock-bows!

Please catch him as he tries to stagger his way off-stage, bye everyone.]

[To be honest, Baren probably missed the first quarter of the show because he was slipping a bill over to the waitress to pay for the drink, as well as getting another one that he'll use in just a second, hold on. But he's still on social media duty so he's ready to add Kashuu's triumphant drink on his snapchat story, then putting the phone away. He joins the laughing and applauding automatically, grinning as he does - ]

Bravo, bravo, Kiyo...!!

[And he's laughing even as he offers one hand out to help him get down - the other is taking the shot that he requested earlier and pushing it toward Yamato.]

You too, Samurai Jack! C'mon! You look waaaaay too sober for this.

[Great punks think alike, because when it seems like Kashuu's steady enough that he won't need their help, Yamato also digs out his phone to snap some pictures. It's his goal for the night to document Kashuu's slow descent into drunken fuckery and then play it on the TV tomorrow...]

What's in it? [HE'S SUSPICIOUS!! But he takes it anyway even as he helps Kashuu off the bar, because if experience holds true, he won't be getting drunk tonight. Not that he can't get drunk, of course, but his tolerance is absurdly high, so much so that by the time he's tipsy, it's time to drag and/or carry Kashuu home.

This is probably for the best, since Yamato's idea of making friends involves hitting people with sticks. HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE DRUNK.]

[He really doesn't need to be drunk at all, it's true...

Plus this way, he's sturdy enough for Kashuu to use him as a balance! Which he does as soon as he's off the counter. He shakes around Baren's hand with Great Enthusiasm before letting go to push at Yamato's arm.]

Did you get a shot of my pose? It was a good one, y'know. [He did his best...

And then, to Yamato:] It's not bad, seriously. Just try it!

Yeah, yeah! It's on your snapchat - you should check it out tomorrow.

[Because there sure is Baren's commentary on that too.... Still, he's laughing even as he makes sure that Kashuu is steady, not getting knocked aside by any of the other partygoers.]

C'mon, Samurai Jack, we're waiting on you before we head to the next bar!

We got plenty of shots, don't worry.

[All of the ones he took are blurry and from horribly unflattering camera angles. This is the true sign Kashuu is getting drunk--he's letting Yamato take photos of him...]

Don't think I didn't notice neither of you answering the question. [Which, y'know, Kashuu's getting wasted BUT BAREN! CAN'T BE TRUSTED!!!

But Yamato's never had any sense of self-preservation anyway, so whatever, DOWN THE HATCH IT GOES.] There, you happy?

Good, good.

[This is more to Baren than Yamato, because even tipsy, he knows which of the two of them is better at taking photos... Not that he should trust either with his social media BUT STILL.

Once he downs the shot, Kashuu will give him a round of applause, too.]

Yep! Ready for the next spot? How many more do I have left on the list, anyway?

[Applause for Yams, applause for Yams!! Baren's laughing brightly at that - ]

3 or 4!! C'mon, the night's still young and so are you! I think the next one's got some kinda group gimmick anyway so prepare yourself, Yamyamtaro!

[have you ever heard of a ski shot]

[Normally he'd be inclined to grumble just because he's a stupid petty child and Baren is here, but. He's having a good time even lingering in the background (as much as they'll let him, that is), so he just shakes his head with a small smile. It's a challenge to put the shot glass back on the bar and to keep Kashuu steady at the same time, but he manages somehow. A MIRACLE.]

Do you need to break for water or anything? [It's a question for Kashuu, but it's directed at Baren, since Kashuu doesn't know his own dang limits!!]

No! [He answers anyway... And then starts tugging at both of their arms, clearly intent on keeping the party train going. The night's still young, Baren just said!! But he won't be young forever!]

We've gotta mentally prep if the next thing's a group thing.

[Oh lord, help him already...]

You heard him!

[But Baren laughs, shaking his head as he happily guides Kashuu out the door to hit up the next bar.

For Yamato, he just discreetly flashes one finger - one more bar and then they'll let Kashuu have a drink of water to pause. He'd probably fight it right now anyway since he was so overtly asked....

It's like he's done this before.]

Alright, alright, there's no need to run.

[Since Kashuu might be able to run in heels on a normal day, but probably not in this state, even if he can still kinda-sorta keep his balance.

Baren gets an equally discreet nod in response, because he too knows how Drunk Kashuu can be, and it seems like sound judgment to him.]

I'm not running, you're just slooow.

[SLOOOW. He really isn't running though okay, he doesn't want to snap a heel or an ankle and die...

But he's also moving pretty quickly, weaving through the crowds in a way that's a little too nimble for a buzzed person and as such, completely missing their rudeass secret convo back there. BUT IT'S FINE. TO THE NEXT BAR, he's making a beeline for the counter--]

[HE SURE IS and Baren's at least nimble enough to catch up fairly easily. This sort of place is his playground normally, after all. He shows up at the bar, gives them his card to pay for Kashuu's birthday festivities because of course he is, and orders one skit shot, which is actually three shots - but one for each of them.

Also a cup of water in advance for Kashuu.

Still, he's cackling as he watches the thing get pulled down from behind the bar and filled with liquor.]

Nice, nice!! Let's go!

I've actually never been skiing before, you know?

[Okay, one, Baren cackling sounds like something that you hear as the gates of hell open up to reveal him sitting on its throne.

Two, this is actually not as horrifically ridiculous as he was expecting?? It's silly, sure, but it could be a hundred times worse. ...Knock on wood.]

Me neither... it doesn't look fun. [Mostly because he's 95% sure he'd spend the whole time crashing into trees, but hey.] What do you think, Kiyomitsu? Could you go skiing after this?

[He's teasing, but would or would not Kashuu attempt to ski in heels]

[TIME FOR ALL OF THEM TO DIE IN A SKI TRIP. Or just die trying to take this shot, there's no way they're coordinated enough for this...

Still, he looks pretty excited as the bartender finishes filling the shot glasses. He's only temporarily distracted by Yamato's question - just long enough to look over and give him The Stare.]

Who'd even wanna go skiing? All that gear is so ugly.

[AH... his priorities.]

If I was gonna do a winter sport, it'd be figure skating or something.

[OF COURSE.]

You know their feet get extra fucked up right?

[JUST. IDLY....]

But alright, alright! Next winter break, let's go rent out a cabin and go skiing! Skateboarding! Drinkiiiing!

[there's always that, isn't there.... but then they're offered the skii, it's extended out to them with the shots balanced in and baren's holding onto his part, encouraging the others to join him]

C'mon, let's get a head start.

Plus your nose would get all red from the cold, so you'd be too busy whining to skate.

[RUNS

Except not really, Yams is as unapologetic as they come about his punkassery, someone save Kashuu from these two tbh.

But at least he's holding onto his part of the ski obediently, so if alcohol ends up all over them, it won't be his fault. Probably. BRING IT, LIGHTWEIGHTS]

Ugh, I said if I had to! Obviously I wouldn't do it on my own.

[He'd rather hit people with wooden swords instead, apparently... He also rudely elbows Yamato (and only Yamato, not Baren?!) when he takes his place at one of the shots, holding the ski up. They might be jostled a little, but hopefully they won't spill... He's not even that bad off yet okay, spilling anything now would just be a shame.]

On three?

[Definitely just Yamato, not Baren.

But listen, they're trying to be careful which is like.

Great.

But also this is Baren and-]

Three!!

[WHY]

[Yeah like half of that shot got on Kashuu's face instead of into his mouth. IT'S FINE, HE DOESN'T DROP THE SKI. He's coughing a little, though.]

Baren—!!

[BAREN WAS THE ONLY ONE READY FOR IT

AND THEN HE'S CACKLING AS SOON AS HE SWALLOWS THE ALCOHOL]

Ahahaha - you said three!

[Luckily Yamato's reflexes kicked in and he jumped back in time to avoid getting splashed, but that also means all of that lovely alcohol is now on the floor. And probably his shoes.

BAREN IS SUPER ANNOYING but yeah okay Kashuu's face is kind of funny, and bullying wins out half the time... HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEANUT.]

Well at least you already smell like booze, right?

Don't be an asshole on purpose!

[Is he even talking to Baren or Yamato right now, A MYSTERY... He's leaning over to wipe his face off on Yamato's sleeve, though. Thanks, buddy.]
