ishmael might never guess hiyori grew up rich, then. well, hiyori herself didn't consider herself rich. it was her family's money. or that she didn't start drinking until recently. show her some good drinks, though. like most noobs, she has no idea what she likes.
drinking fancy red wine out of mugs? hell yeah. ]
Cheers! [ it's okay. it's not much a cheerful time for her, but that's why she's here. ]
I like it. [ about drinking on the floor. though the wine IS pretty good, too. dry but fruity. a lot of good tanin that lingers on the tongue. there are some steamed meat buns she pulls out and peels the paper back, offering one to ishmael. ] If you tip over from drinking too much, the fall isn't as bad.
... Drinking wine out of a mug seems a lot safer, too. Last time, I spilled. Or maybe I should use one of those sippy cups... with the lids and straw...
[ that got her to laugh a bit. hiyori's own experiences with death aside, she's so achingly normal compared to her. it's a little jarring sometimes. ]
In that case, ditch the wine and its fancy glasses and drink the stronger stuff like rum. No one's going to judge you for slamming your mug on the counter after draining it all in one gulp. That's how the sailors do it.
[ one day ish will tell her how she used to drink them by the barrel-fuls. it's insane. but it does make her think of her old mates who had died, so. lmao. she knocks back her drink and leans back against the bed. ]
You should've just taken me out drinking, actually.
[ her laughter is followed by hiyori's. life's better when you can laugh at yourself, huh? or when you can laugh, period.
she is normal. painfully so and that isn't lost on her. compared to even someone like ishmael, but having someone totally normal and grounded can be a good thing. ]
Oooh!! That reminds me of the drinking games I used to see all the time during college. I saw Bekuhai the most. It was the fastest way to get drunk...
[ which. makes sense why it reminds her. DRUNK COLLEGE PEOPLE AND SAILORS. same thing, right? jk
hiyori drinks slower because she's a little lightweight. she smiles, only a touch sad. ]
Mm. I should've. Next time? [ after POLE DANCING. ] But what about playing one of those drinking games now? I know a two-player one.
[ NO U RIGHT THE ROWDINESS IS PRACTICALLY THE SAME and ishmael did go to college once upon a time...
anyway, no time for doom and gloom. not when hiyori tried oh so hard to get to this point despite everything she herself had gone through last month. ]
Oh? Sure. Just warning you in advance though: I'm a heavyweight, so I usually go a little hard when it comes to drinking.
[ but she'll take it easy to make it fair for the both of them. ]
truth is? as much as this is for ishmael, hiyori wanting to check in on her and spend some time with her, it's not all for her. it's to distract herself from those very things she went through. if she thinks of others, she doesn't have to think about herself.
NO TIME, THOUGH. ]
Heheeeeh, that's fine. I like a challenge. I may be a lightweight, but I'm not going down that easy.
[ good thing they're on the ground badum tsh
she leans over, grabbing something out of the bag. it's three pairs of chopsticks and she passes over three to ish. ]
It's called Hashiken. We each get three chopsticks.
[ HIYORI EXPLAINS THE RULES OF HASHIKEN I AM NOT WRITING THIS OUT IM SORRY ]
and so does ish!! sounds like very easy game to play, actually. give her a minute to stand up and go to her desk to retrieve some hair sticks, then handing one-half of them to hiyori. she don't got chopsticks here, so they'll have to improvise. ]
These will do for now.
[ she takes her place back on the floor, fist at the ready for rock-paper-scissors. ]
