[ It seems like Mami's returned to the bar. This is only her second visit, because the first time she wound up drunk didn't go so well.

But it also made her a friend, which was something she hadn't expected-- embraced, even. So even though alcohol was bitter to her, it carried a sort of charm to it. She knew she put too much weight into those sorts of things. Associating friendship with alcohol... was not very healthy, but also not uncommon. She sipped sake, even though she didn't like the taste. There were other drinks that promised fruitier flavors, but she knew better. They would all taste bitter, mixed or not.

She wasn't drunk, but she waited for a comforting haze, a slowness to the world, to set in. ]

Aren't you kind of young to be drinking?

[Conan had also found the bar to be a good place to meet people. His approach was pretty different to Mami's, however.]

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

I suppose. [ She offers a kind smile. ] But I met a friend here. I wonder if he'll be back again.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[ ... well, it wasn't like Haibara was hear to see him. Conan blinked then giggled.]

You're being silly, Oneesan! That's not how you find a friend! Plus, you don't have to drink that nasty adult stuff to stay in here, even if it is a bar!

[Conan scrambled up on to the nearest barstool.] See?

[ She giggles! It was cute to see a little kid on the plane, if a bit... sad. Kids should stay home, and not in a violent place like this. ]

It is rather bad. But the memories I made with it were nice. Alcohol isn't at all what they make it out to be. I still remember everything. Even tripping and him laughing at me.

[ She laughs again, good naturedly and kind of sad. It seems even embarrassing moments are precious to her. ]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Really? Hmm ...

Ne, what's his name?

[stoicperfection.livejournal.com]

[The bar was usually where people he knew gathered. He had no idea why, but for some reason they almost always went for the bar.

Spotting Mami sitting there, he decided to go and join her. His mood was bad enough from before after talking to both Relena and Duo earlier. Maybe a drink would take the edge off. It didn't help he was exhausted either.]

((ooc: Finally! Took me long enough to get this loaded. >_<))

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

Heero-- good evening.

[ She doesn't try to let it show that she's happy to see him. She's been gone for a while and a familiar face is very welcome. ]

[ ooc; HAHA same here ;_; ]

[stoicperfection.livejournal.com]

Good evening, Mami.

[He tries to hide the fact that he's not in a good mood and tired...and failing pretty badly.]

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

... Want me to try mixing you something? I've been reading about it.

[ It's easy to tell, yes-- and hey, when steeping tea isn't enough, might as well eat up the library's collection on other drinks. ]

[stoicperfection.livejournal.com]

As long as it's strong.

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

Hey-hey, sugar, you and firewater could make a great 'you and me', but not a pretty 'you'.

[Gabriel just appears out of nowhere on the other side of the counter, dressed in clothes of a bartender. He is even cleaning a glass with a cloth.]

So, how was it? He cheated and lied about it, and you got him dirty handed, hm?

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

[ At that, she laughs. ]

No, just waiting for a friend. That, and even if I'm a bit young, this takes my mind off things.

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

Oh, please, don't wait anymore, I'm here. [Winks, and puts down the glass.] Must heavy things, if a ladybug like you turns to the stinky and burning salvation of alcohol. Not that I wouldn't enjoy them from time to time.

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not necessarily the alcohol I came for. I think it's pretty repulsive when you get down to it.

I came for the company.

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

That's my girl! [Smiles widely.] Oh, don't say that, please, I know I'm a good company, but this is embarrassing~

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Morgana takes a seat beside Mami. She is frowning.] What is the matter?

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

I just got back from a little... trip, is all.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

I do not know if you should travel there again if it puts you in moods like these.

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

I made a poor wish, and I didn't have a choice in what happened. I suppose from now on I'll be careful what I wish for here.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

One of the experiments?

[pintsizeddeath.livejournal.com]

[Duo looks over from his table, curious to why such a prim looking girl getting knocked off her rocker. Of course he knew one possibility. Namely that someone in her life was probably horribly mutilated and murdered. He didn't have anything to say though, so it was just a passing glance.]

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

[ He wouldn't be too far off. ]

-- Ah... evening.

[pintsizeddeath.livejournal.com]

Hey. What's the wrong?

[headingoff.livejournal.com]

Nothing's wrong, I'm waiting for a friend.

[pintsizeddeath.livejournal.com]

Who yeah? Who's that?

It ain't Crowley is it? Wouldn't be surprised if it was.
