[before]

[It seems Red has found a karaoke room behind this one door. And it looks like he's been there for a while; there's a large, half empty bowl of fried grasshoppers (who needs popcorn?) and a couple unlabeled bottles sitting on a table near the mic. Given the faint flush across Red's cheeks, it's pretty likely the bottles contained alcohol. There's music blasting from the speakers and he's singing along rather enthusiastically, half because he's at least a little drunk, and half because there's no one around to watch.]

[You sure about that, Red? Well, pay no mind to that portal opening over by the door, and a certain Riku leaning against it. Later on, she'll probably be amused by the memory. But for now she's just watching, head tilted, wondering exactly what happened to be in those bottles.]

[before]

[You really don't want to know what was in them, Riku! It involves bugs. And alcohol. And possibly blood. The song finishes, but he doesn't notice her right away, going to get a drink of water instead.]

[dawnrise]

[No, she probably doesn't, especially if it includes that last one. Hmm, Red's a bit unobservant today, isn't he?]

Having fun?

[before]

[I think the word you're looking for is drunk. And there goes the water all over the floor as he drops the glass in surprise.]

...yo.

[dawnrise]

[Well, yes, that too. Her eyebrows lift at that, and she tilts her head up, resting the back of it against the door.]

Hey.

[before]

[He opens his mouth to say something, then shuts it and squints at her.]

[dawnrise]

[Doesn't say anything, calmly waiting for whatever he's going to say.]

[before]

[Wandering closer now, grabbing the snack bowl and stopping in front of her. He's silent for a good minute or so, then offers her the bowl.]

Grasshopper?

[dawnrise]

[... Pfft. How many bottles are there? She looks down at the bowl, making a slight face, but... reaches to take one.]

[...well that's something he never thought he'd see.

Ienzo's just in the door way kinda staring.]

[before]

[It's amazing, isn't it. Once he's done he stumbles off to where the drinks are for some water.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

[...Stumbling, eh? Oh dear.]

That was rather...erm, interesting.

[before]

[Way to startle him! And he trips. And crashes into some chairs.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

[--oops! He looks a bit hesitant, but steps in after a moment.]

Is everything alright?

[before]

[He picks himself up easily, wobbling a little.]

Fine! 's fine.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

... I see.

[Drunk people...why so weird?]

Anyway, I apologize for interrupting you.

[before]

It's okay.

[He'll be getting that drink now.]

[antedupmyheart.livejournal.com]

[And here's another person come to add to the 'not alone' factor. He'll wait until Red's done with the song to announce his presence though.]

Impressive.

[before]

[And he fumbles with the microphone a bit, turning in surprise.]

...what?

[antedupmyheart.livejournal.com]

You're quite the singer.

[Or Luxord assumes he would be, were he not so drunk.]

[before]

Naaaah.

[He's an adequate singer; nothing sensational, but at least it's not earbleedingly bad.]

[antedupmyheart.livejournal.com]

You've done well enough with this.

[before]

Eh, it's easy. Y'just read the... thing.

[Gestures to the monitor the lyrics play on.]

[antedupmyheart.livejournal.com]

'Monitor,' most would call it.

[before]

Right, right.

[Waves a hand. He totally knew that.]
