[ Totoko was on cloud nine after her performance. Being praised, getting paid, and having her drinks covered for the night put her on a high that she wasn't sure if she'd ever come down from. The night may have started off crummy, but with a stint in the casino and a bit of time on stage, she felt completely unstoppable! So why not indulge a bit?

Heading into the Palace of Sai, she asks to see the specials, looking for the best that the bar had to offer. Oh, she had to indulge tonight, she couldn't help herself... and so she gets a plate of fancy sushi, and looking over the drinks-- well. The more expensive, the better, right?

As she gives the bartender her order, her eyes catch those of another person. Someone she recognized through her phone, and had seen quite a bit of already. No time really like the present to take the bait... ]

'Scuse me. A "Blessing" for me and my friend over there.

[ She gestures over to Izo, hoping to get his attention. Come, say hi, sit for a little bit. Enjoy the obscenely expensive drink... as Totoko reaches into her kimono to place something on the counter, winking at the bartender. A tip. ]

[heretic_blade]

[ Izō is in a particularly good mood. The festive environment and carte blanche to indulge himself in every way. Totoko's offer is just one of those indulgences, but her order is enough to make him choke. ]

What, ya sure 'bout that?! H[ e's not exactly the high-class sort of drinker. ] I mean...I ain't sayin' no.

[ A drink with a price tag like that has to be good -- better than good.

He comes up alongside her with a grin. ]

[socute]

[ Sure, it's easy to just buy someone a beer and call it a day, but when you want to make a good impression on someone, go big or go home. ]

Why not? A chance to drink with an idol like this only comes once in a lifetime. Might as well make it special.

[ With a nod back to the bartender. No, she's absolutely serious about it, and rests her elbows on the counter, glancing over at him. ]

Izō-kun, right? You look just like your picture.

[heretic_blade]

I told ya. I don't hide nothin'.

[ He grins and immediately puts an arm around her shoulders. If she's dropping that kind of scratch, no need to be coy about it. ]

Yer lookin' pretty good, too. Cute as hell, ain't ya?

[ He's not just laying on thick because of the expensive drink, either. She is cute! ]

[socute]

[ Once the drinks are on the counter, Totoko sidles up to him, sighing under his arm. ]

Eheh~. I'm always cute... I just had to put even more effort in since I knew I'd run into guys like you here.

[ She reaches for her glass, holding it up. ]

Toast to becoming good friends tonight?

[heretic_blade]

Hell yeah. As good a friend as ya want.

[ Given his tone, there's all sorts of implications in that. He raises his glass with a grin. ]

Kampai!

[ He hasn't started drinking and he's already loud. ]

[socute]

Kampai!

[ Totoko's matching him in volume, clinking them together before pulling it back to finally take a sip. Whether it was worth a million yen or not, she doesn't know. All she does is that it tastes like a dream. ]

Ahh, that's so good~!

[ She leans against the counter, setting her glass down as she tilts her head to get a good glimpse at Izo. ]

Do you often hang out in places like this? It was my first time performing for a crowd that big earlier...

[socute]

[ Things had been going well enough, but after a quick run-in, some extra drinks and some time to stew alone, her mind had drifted a bit. She wasn't plastered, at least not as much as she'd like to be, but at the end of the festival she's more ready to go home and sleep, and stop thinking too much about how the night had gone and how it would be after tomorrow.

The quickest way, immediately, was to track down where her date had run off to. She searches around for Jill, finally tugging on her sleeve when she does. ]

Hey, I'm going home. I'll call you later.

[ She says, speaking with the intent of just... going, letting Jill continue doing whatever she's doing. They came together, but that didn't mean they had to be tethered together. No need to ruin her fun. ]

[whydogs]

Huh?

[Evening's end aside, it was overall a pretty fun time. She'd managed to not find herself under the influence and that was her main goal. Heck, she'd even managed to have a drink and some food.

It was cheap as shit, but she still had some!]

Oh, okay.

I mean, I don't mind walking you to your home. I'm used to staying up late, anyways.

[socute]

Mmmm...

[ She shakes her head. ]

If you're still having fun, I'm not gonna stop you. Enjoy your night, live a little more. You don't have to be cuffed to me.

[ The longer the night goes on, Jill will start to get fed up with her anyway, so why not just call that off here? ]

[whydogs]

Huh? I've already had plenty of fun. More fun than I would've ever had staying indoors and drinking beer all night.

[This... doesn't seem like Totoko at all.]

Besides, I asked you to go with me because I wanted to spend time with you.

And I'd still like to spend more time with you.

[socute]

[ ...what the hell? Of course... that's not really a bad thing? Of course someone wants to spend time with her, who wouldn't? Except, after a few drinks, the threat of getting into a fight... complaining about nothing, being her typical self...

What a weird woman. ]

Are you sure? I mean... with how you're dressed, I'm sure you could really leave with anyone. And how you're being patient, and being nice to me--

[ She trails off. It's really not like her at all. ]

Okay, okay. Walk with me, just for a little bit.

[ Maybe she was getting tired, or the drinks were getting to her. Why was she so damn bothered by this? ]

[whydogs]

[This continues to feel very unlike Totoko, and it leaves Jill feeling uneasy as they head out together. The walk itself is... pretty quiet, and awkward. Only the background noise of the festival is enough to fill the air, and even that eventually fades away, leaving only silence.

Awkward, awkward silence.]

Hey.

Uh, is something wrong? This doesn't feel like usual.

And I'd like to know if I did something to upset you.

[socute]

[ Totoko's quiet, which is already unlike her. There's a lot she wants to brag about doing and experiencing that night, but ultimately, all it took were a few stupid conversations, a failed mission, and staring at some texts to get her to shut up.

Even when Jill finally asks if something was wrong, she immediately wanted to say that nothing was wrong. Jill hadn't done a goddamn thing to her, except ask her out in the first place. It was clear from them meeting that Jill could easily get annoyed with her, and Totoko wasn't exactly a pleasant person to be around to begin with.

It's something she's fully aware of. ]

You didn't. So... isn't this enough already?

[ It wasn't usual. Totoko's hyper confidence and tactless manner of speaking only really appealed to virgins like the sextuplets-- and to a lesser extent, lonely guys like Chibita. There were nice people she'd met, but they were few and far between.

This was just reminding her of one of them. One who she was outstandingly rude to and still apologized like she was doing something wrong. ]

You don't have to force yourself to be around me just because we did it. I told you already, I'm not mad or upset about it. You don't...

[ A brief pause. ]

You don't have to keep making it up to me.

[whydogs]

[She stands there, silent and listening. Giving her full attention to what Totoko has to say, and how surprising it is that it's coming from her. Someone who, up to now, would be oozing with confidence and determination. And wasn't about to take shit from anyone.

All of that was gone.]

I don't know what happened to cause this, but what I do know is I'm not forcing myself to do anything.

I'm here because with you, because I want to be.

I'm spending my time with you because I want to be with you.

And damn it, you know what? Yeah, we did it. We're two consenting adults, we fucked, and I liked it, okay? I liked it so much that I think about you every day. I liked it so much that...

[Gulp.]

That I'm scared. Because what if... What if I like you too?

What if I see you as more than just a friend?

[socute]

[ ...Oh. Actually. She might be drunk. Maybe just a little? Because for some reason, the weight of those words don't seem to really hit her as hard as they should. As someone who's always wanted to be wanted by a hot guy (?), this felt kind of weird.

Seen as more than a friend? ]

I mean, I don't usually have friends, so... it's okay to see me like that. I don't mind.

[ No friends, only enemies.

A lot of the words' meanings seem to be going over her head, but there is just. One thing she can focus on. ]

You really mean it? That, you really want to be with me like this?

[whydogs]

[And that was okay. Totoko had told Jill how she felt, which prompted her to do the same. To have everything out in the open, was a nice feeling.

Back to the moment, she took a step forward and grabbed her hand and looked her right the eyes.]

More than anything.

[socute]

[ Oh. Wow.

...Jill's hands felt nice. It felt doubly nice that... okay, she really was doing this because she wanted to spend time with her. They did have a good time--

...oh! ]

Hey, that reminds me.

You totally smiled earlier, didn't you?

[whydogs]

Yeah, I did. Why?

[Between Totoko feeling better and still holding her hand, Jill was... in a pretty good mood, too.]

Did it leave that much of an impression?

[socute]

Sure did. It reminded me, you owe me a prize.

[ Totoko thinks it over, what could she get? What would be a good prize? Hmmm.

With a smile, she leans forward to lightly give Jill a kiss on the cheek. ]

Let's do this again. Drinks on you.

[ With significantly less responsibility. ]
