Who: espersions, belfire, moribound, popsometags, their cr, their cr's cr...
When: Early April
Where: Source Below: Cerealia's most surreal karaoke bar
What: How do you come to terms with death and disappearance? Get hammered and sing about it, obviously.
Rating/Warning: alcohol, hot tubs, death mentions, and j-pop


Ket Whiss is gone for good, and Minato has returned from his PLAYER ONE GAME OVER moment, courtesy of a hungry monster. And there's the residual trauma of everyone's jungle/elemental adventures.

So, well. Why not have a party?

Source Below is Cerealia's most popular — and most surreal — karaoke bar. It features a costume closet, with hundreds of outfits to try on, for that full idol experience. There are themed rooms: one with overflowing candy, another built to resemble the interior of a spaceship, one full of robotic cats who yowl in time with the music, to a pitch-black room filled with pairs of enormous, glowing, slowly-blinking eyes....

But Team Catastrophe's party isn't in any of these, because none of these losers made a reservation. Instead, they got stuck with the only one left, covered in white tile, with a hot tub in the center.

This is a bad idea on so many levels, but it's not as if that's ever stopped anybody.

(ooc: open to any extended cr, feel free to handwave how you heard about it. the more the merrier!)

[Kazuya looked at Yu, his cheer faltering briefly when he felt something... odd. One of the downsides to being a demon was that you became creepily empathetic to human emotions, though Kazuya still struggled to understand what those foreign emotions were. As it was, he just felt... something weird from Yu, something that didn't quite match with the human's smile and face, and made a part of him uneasy.

He studied Yu blearily for a moment, letting a pause stretch between them, before he finally dismissed it as him being way too drunk. His imagination, most likely]

Hmmm, then who's the popular guy here...? [Kazuya let his gaze wander, his nose wrinkling when he spotted Shiho as well. Ugh, her. Well, okay, not "ugh" but he was still slightly annoyed at her for the Bug Incident] Oh, you know Mimi? She's evil, jus' so you know. So eeeeeeeeeeevil~ she- do you know what she did? She threw a bug at me! A bug! Me! I have- I have... I dunno what it's called, but the bug phobia thingy! I can't... ugh, I can't stand them at all...

[ His grief over Minato's death isn't something he wants to share with anyone. Not even Minato. Not just yet. The time will come for that. Only his best friend knows, because his best friend was there for his utter emotional breakdown over his failure to keep his friends safe.

The pause unsettles him, making him wonder if Kaz had noticed something was amiss after all, but then the moment passes and he breathes out long and slow through his nose as the other goes on to ramble. Bullet dodged. One side of Yu's mouth wrenches up. ]

You had a bug thing with her too, huh? [ A beat. ] I fell asleep on her because a bug bit me. I don't think she forgave me for it.

[belfire]

You... fell asleep cuz a bug bit you?

[Kazuya looked slightly disturbed at this, giving a minor shudder as he automatically swiped at his bare arms and shoulders, as if expecting a bug to be summoned by their discussion. The thought of a bug being able to render you unconscious by a mere bite was... awful. Simply awful. If you were asleep, and the bug was on you, then it could, it could burrow and... ugh, no, bad memories! Bad memories!!!]

I didn't know bugs could do that too. That's creepy... ahhhh why did you tell me that!? [Kazuya suddenly splashed Yu with a petulant wail] Don't tell me bugs come with inbuilt chloro- cloru- sleep poison! I don't wanna knoooow about thaaaat!
