[This time around, all Tsuzuki recorded was his slurred voice.]

What do you mix -- get if you mix vodka, liquor and raspberry juice?

[A long pause. There''s a clink of the glass. Consider how full of suck the world has been lately, it's a great day for drinking.]

Tatsumi's gone. His things were gone when I checked. There's not a lot of people left now.

So it's time to drink to them.

Of cours'!

[He jumps off the the bar stool and nearly loses his balance. Maybe he's had more drinks than he thought: he pretty much lost count after the ninth.]

I did dat on purples.

[Action]

[cynicism]

No, you didn't.

[SIGH. He'll be hauling Tsuzuki up by the shoulder and trying to escort him out now.]

[Action]

[idealism]

Ow ow careful!

[His wings flap ineffectually as he's dragged. Man, he should have hurried and had some drinks before Hisoka got there. But despite feeling down and hurt and drunk, he follows. The last thing he needs right now is an argument.]

[Action]

[cynicism]

If you wanted Gentle, you should have thought of it before you got too drunk to function.

[Action]

[idealism]

Thass it.

[He clings to the doorway.]

Lemme go, I'll sleep here tonight.

[Action]

[cynicism]

...

You're kidding.

[Action]

[idealism]

Then I don have to walk and fall over.

[Action]

[cynicism]

[...Tug.]

Come on. Behave yourself. People can see.

[Action]

[idealism]

Thass ok. They're probly drunk too.

[He reluctantly follows as he's tugged, only losing his balance a couple of times. The last time leads him straight into bumping against Hisoka's hip.]

Sarry.

[Action]

[cynicism]

[He wobbles because Tsuzuki is kind of a giant, but the tugging continues.]

That's no excuse. Be dignified.

[Action]

[idealism]

Why?

[Action]

[cynicism]

Because you're an adult. You're a shinigami, and you're Japanese.

[Action]

[idealism]

[What's with this use of logic on a drunk person. That's like bringing a gun to a knifefight.]

You'rright.


We should've done some karaoke.

[Action]

[cynicism]

Just. Walk. [...Grr.]

[Action]

[idealism]

[He does. Walking in silence is boring, though.]

Hey 'Soka?

[Action]

[cynicism]

Yeah?

[Action]

[idealism]

What've you been doing today?

[Action]

[cynicism]

Why do you care?

[Action]

[idealism]

'Fcourse I care. Yourr my partner.

[Action]

[cynicism]

But it's not as though there's anything productive to do here. So what's the point in asking every day?

[Action]

[idealism]

Cuz I want to know? I like hearing about wha you do. Or donn do.

[Action]

[cynicism]

Today I sat aside and watched my partner obliterate his liver, rendering him incapacitated until it regenerates.

[Action]

[idealism]

I'm not incapisated. Jush drunk.

'm glad you're looking out for me.

[Action]

[cynicism]

...Yeah, whatever.

[Action]

[idealism]

Whas wrong?
