[He was going to say something to that but RIGHT YEAH DRINKS. Awfully quick taking your drink there tho Inumata...

Then again, they ordered the same thing, so he shrugs that off too. He sits forward and takes his foot off of the table, snatches up his drink and takes a swig.]

Ack-

[Wow that's strong. Who knew Inumata was so hardcore???]

That- [Beat.] That hits the spot. Yep.

[databoner]

[Can he really not tell the difference?? Either he's vastly underestimating, or overestimating him...

Inumuta takes the moment to sip at his beer instead. It's a good thing he has a good poker face, or else he'd wind up giving everything away far too soon. Maybe Sanageyama can sense his smirk though, even behind his collar.]

It's good, right? I don't usually drink but I once bought a pack of these when I was- thirteen, I think.

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Anime blindness™ only works when the narrative wants it to.

So right now, rather than questioning him, instead Sanageyama's cursing inwardly because wow. 13. really.

Gotta step up his game.]

Hoh yeah, it's- [Maybe it's partly due to his enhanced sense of taste too, but holy hell.] It's good alright.

I'm surprised though. Didn't see you as the drinking type at all.

[Another swig. Jesus.]

[databoner]

[Just as keikaku.]

I'm not, typically. But it was in celebration of discovering I could do anything I want, and what better to celebrate with than breaking the law?

[Siiiiip.]

Ah, are you alright? You know, if you're not enjoying it, you could pick out something else. I'll finish yours...

[Except he knows Sanageyama won't accept that, because he's too damn proud.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Oh you've DONE IT NOW.

That senseless need to overcompensate when proving himself urges him to stand up and down the rest of that drink in one go. He raises his free hand to wipe his mouth, but if it looks like he's actually wiping most of his face, it's because he is in fact wiping the slight buildup of tears in his eyes from the strength wreaking havoc with his enhanced sense of taste - good thing his eyes being sewn shut hides that. When he finally puts the bottle down, he gestures towards someone nearby.]

Oi! Another!

[They rush off to get it.

They probably weren't even bar staff but now they're frantically asking what Sanageyama just had so they can get another for him.

So now he's sitting back down.]

It's fine. I just took it easy at first to let my senses get used to it again - I haven't had anything to drink since before my loss to Matoi.

[There's your excuse.]

[databoner]

[Watching with slightly widened eyes...

Oh, Sanageyama.

You're going to get wrecked, aren't you?

Part of him thinks this is the funniest thing ever.

But another part... Well, he doesn't want the other to get total alcohol poisoning, so maybe he should lay off a bit on the taunting.]

So you're re-experiencing alcohol, essentially. Maybe you should take it a little easier then. It wouldn't do you any good to burn out the tolerance you're building up right now by taking too much...

[Seriously Uzu don't overdo it, he doesn't want to have to carry your ass back to your room... And possibly stay to make sure you don't throw up everywhere... Ugh... ]

[ironbuttmonkey]

It's fine. I can handle a little alcohol.

[Except it totally isn't a little alcohol but look at him giving it the old college try anyway. The unimportant two star NPC delivers Sanageyama's second and backs away from the table a few steps before running off.

Lifting his drink-]

Soo...[A pause, and he looks elsewhere. Even if he can't see Inumata it's the same as breaking eye contact.] ...what do you suppose Lady Satsuki. Likes.

[-and now he's taking a swig from his drink.]

[databoner]

[... That kind of question, huh. Sanageyama, you dog. Inumuta smiles sardonically behind his collar that unzips once more to let him sip at his drink. They're totally talking about sex-stuff, right? That's what he's going to go with, anyway. Whoops if Uzu meant like kissing or something.]

Obedience.

[That's the easy answer, at least.]

S&M, probably.

[ironbuttmonkey]

[...no but he's THINKING ABOUT THAT NOW THANKS.

[MEN DOU KOTES INTERNALLY]

O-Oi, that's not what I meant!! I mean sort of but..

In a partner. But not so intimately.

[databoner]

[you're welcome.]

Oh.

[DON'T 'OH' LIKE YOU TOTALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND THEN GAVE THE WRONG KIND OF ANSWER ANYWAY, YOU DOUCHEBAG.]

A challenge, I guess. She doesn't seem to be the kind to like simplicity, does she?

[ironbuttmonkey]

A challenge, huh...

[That makes sense, but it's not exactly an answer he wanted to hear. How's he supposed to do that when she could kill him with one of her tea cups.

(Yes he immediately thought of the fighting kind of challenge.)

Life is very unfortunately hard.

So he's going back to drinking.]

I guess that makes sense. Someone who could keep up with her to keep things interesting.

[databoner]

Someone like Matoi.

[YEAH.

HE WENT THERE.

REMEMBER WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, UZU. 2chan incarnate.

Siiiiiiiip. Aaaaaand this bottle is done. Aaaaand he's curious... just how strong the other's drink is. He knows it's going to be awful. But... curiosity is what will kill him, eventually.]

I don't feel like ordering another bottle yet. Can I just have a sip of yours?

1/2

[ironbuttmonkey]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Just stretching his hand out to offer the drink to him.]

Lemme tell you somethin'. If Matoi were here right now, I'd kick her ass just to prove you she ain't worth the time.

[Yeah Inumata's stupidly strong frankenalcohol is starting to work. One or two of his words in that sentence were probably slightly slurred.]

1/3

[databoner]

And what do you think would happen, if you did? Lady Satsuki would fall for you?

[Okay wait, no, he told himself he wasn't going to taunt the poor guy anymore, fuck... Too late now. The instinct was too strong. Time to take a drink of this beer-]

2/3

[databoner]

[COUGH HACK FUCK COUGH COUGH WHAT THE FUCK-]

3/3

[databoner]

[What is even in this drink?? Forty-percent?? Fifty??

And this is Sanageyama's second one...

Maybe this... should be his last one.]

-Went down the wrong way...

[Yeah. That's believable...]

[ironbuttmonkey]

...no, don't be stupid. She's just not as great as everyone keeps making her out to be, an' I'm gonna prove it.

[Yeah Sanageyama someone who fights a lot and thinks they're amazing remind you of anyone.

He's giving Inumata a questioning look though.]

It didn't sound like that to me.

[Super senses remember.

They cheat.]

[databoner]

My coughing didn't sound like coughing to you?

[Misdirection... maybe...]

You don't think Matoi is interesting? Her kamui can evolve based on situations. It's fascinating.

[Sure is not drinking anymore of that Mystery Alcohol bottle...]

[ironbuttmonkey]

You didn't cough while you swallowed - it was before.

Or after...I think?

[Now that he thinks about it it was a little messed up. Something's wrong with his Shingetsu...

But he's easier to distract like this so he just moves on.]

Yeah maybe her dumb cheating Kamui is interesting, but she isn't. Once I do defeat 'er again she'll be yesterday's news.

[But if Inumata is done he'll be taking his drink he isn't enjoying back ty!! Taking another swig.]

[databoner]

[Well, if the distractions work, he's not going to bring it back up again...]

And you'll be top fighter at Honnouji, like before. Is that your goal? Reestablishing the status quo?

[ironbuttmonkey]

RIGHT!! [Whoops little too loud there.] Yeah, yeah.

I mean even if you three lose you guys still got somethin' to keep you useful. What good's a fighter who can't fight huh.

It's a good thing she thought sewin' my eyes shut was a damn good show of resolve or what would I even be doing now, huh?

[databoner]

[A shrug. Although it's true. Gamagori has his undying loyalty, Jakuzure has her past with Satsuki, he has his knowledge and planning... Sanageyama doesn't really have much, aside from fighting. It's actually kind of sad. Or it would be, if he felt sad about this kind of thing. ]

Likely slumming it with the other no-stars. Didn't you have a gang around, somewhere? I'm sure you could have collected them together again. Or do you consider yourself above "low level gang leader" now?

[ironbuttmonkey]

Above them? Please; I still send all my extra cash to those guys to support them. I wouldn't give up on anyone for something so shallow.

[Not necessarily something he'd admit to if he wasn't full of alcohol, being "nice".]

But could you go back to aimlessly hacking after joining with all of us?

[databoner]

Is that what you do with it?

[Awww, how cute. Meanwhile, Houka hoards it all to himself. Whoops.]

... I couldn't. Everything would seem so mundane. If the world's tightest security posed no challenge to me years ago, I don't know what I'd do to entertain myself outside of this.

[Possibly start maliciously hacking the government...]
