Hey, let's, then! It'll be great! You, and Kija, and... I don't know. We should get a couple more, though. Maybe your god, or I could see if Battler or Lilka want to play...

[He trails off. Jae-Ha laughing's a good sound, like he's really cheering up at the thought, and getting Kija out and introduced to more people will keep his mind off worrying about his god. And they'll get to see how he's doing, at the same time.]

[razzledazzles]

No, no, Hazel can't come if Kija is coming as well. I don't want Kija to see me so well off with my god when he has his own problems.

[Why just him when other god and shinki pairs can meet Kija?? Reasons, but let's go with: feelings. Also Hazel is rude about Kija's hand.]

Invite whoever else you'd like.

[sweetdeath]

Mmm... do you know Gojyo?

[They'd just been talking about going out and having fun, too! Poker'd be a great way to do that. As long as they all get along, anyway.]

[razzledazzles]

Oh, I drank with him once!

[There was some uncertainty at first, but they quickly got over that, or at least Jae-Ha thinks so.] Is he a friend of yours?

[sweetdeath]

Yeah, he's a good friend. I think he'd like it.

[And wouldn't scare Kija off or anything! -- Probably!]

[razzledazzles]

He's not a bad looking guy, either.

[Jae-Ha... When he's drunk he's even worse. What does this have to do with anything?] With all of us beautiful men, we could go anywhere we'd like and draw attention easily enough.

[sweetdeath]

You know, he is good-looking, but I'm not sure that's true for a bunch of gods and shinki.

[They might draw attention if they managed to get somebody's attention first, but otherwise, they're just going to be ignored like usual. Which probably won't cheer Kija up any. It always dampens Tsuzuki's mood even if he starts the night out having a good time.]

I was thinking more of a night in! Sake, cards.... I can make snacks.

[razzledazzles]

A night in is even better! There's less noise, and we only have to worry about our own company. Let's set it up, shall we? Let's have a night. It would be better for me to get out every now and then, before I make any mistakes, so this would be a blessing of sorts! I can't wait.

Would you invite Gojyo, and I could handle Kija?

[sweetdeath]

Sure!

[That's all set! There's just one more question...]

... What do you mean about mistakes?

1/2

[razzledazzles]

Oh, that's...

[He pauses for a long moment.]

[razzledazzles]

That's...

[No, he can't share that, even drunk!!] A nice face you have. [He pats Tsuzuki's face, laughing, and then quickly dropping his hand away.]

Anyway, this is great news.

[sweetdeath]

[Huh... it's like he was thinking about something else he doesn't want to talk about. Tsuzuki's briefly concerned, but: hey! It's not that big a deal! He won't worry about it too much. It's fine. If Jae-Ha wants to say what he's worried about doing then he can just say it whenever, right?

This makes enough sense to a tipsy mind that Tsuzuki relaxes into a cheerful grin again.]

Yeah! It'll be fun. Hey, when do you want to get together? Maybe in a couple days?

[razzledazzles]

A couple of days, or a little past that. I've made so many dates lately I just can't keep up.

[And yet most of this is just hanging out with Hazel, but... He did get a lot of drinking offers.]

[sweetdeath]

Wow, you really do have a busy social life!

[He laughs easily, and flops back onto the blanket. It's comfortable out here in the sun, but... he cracks one eye, looking up at the flowers, and his expression sobers. It's a party the Heavens are throwing. Fun as it might be to hang out here with his friends, it's not safe. And everybody being kind of drunk makes it even less safe.]

I'll give you a call, okay?

[razzledazzles]

Try not to leave me waiting for too long. It would hurt too much to be stood up.

[He places a hand over his heart dramatically, even as he chuckles. Hmm, yes, he'd be way more worried about this all, but he's unfortunately drunk himself.]

[sweetdeath]

I wouldn't stand up my cute kouhai!

[Tsuzuki snickers, a little evilly.]

[razzledazzles]

Senpai is saying that now, but can it be trusted?

[Jae-Ha is laughing anyway, lazily swatting a hand over at Tsuzuki as if to slap him. But he just lets it flop there without taking it back.] I'm not so sure.

[sweetdeath]

Always! Hey, now. I'm a trustworthy guy!

[Tsuzuki manages to summon up an injured tone, but not for long; he lets it go with a casual laugh.]
