Dregs at the Bottom of the Glass (Arashi; Tomoyo)

[Rosey]

"Wanting to get drunk." Rosey looked at the guy's drink as if she was about to take it but decided not to. She signal the bartender to get her another scotch, which the bartender looked agitated by her request but she disregard it. As soon as she got her drink she chugged it down and slammed the glass on the table as the mortals would do.

"My name isn't important, i'm just some chick looking to relax a little from a hectic week." She was starting to get annoyed that she wasn't getting drunk from any of the mortals drinks and she sighed. She looked over to the Hell King and was waiting for her response to her earlier question.

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo smiled at Rosie, handing her a bottle of Windtini. "Guaranteed to get you drunk, little Faerie," she said. "It works on everything, believe me. These punk ass Mortals don't know what they're missing..."

To Arashi, she said, "Sure, anything..." trailing off thoughtfully, she added, "Oh, and...what is that you Humans call it?--ah! I live in Hell. It's a nice place. Large castle, spacious...clean bathrooms, three servants, sort of...you would enjoy it...if you came home with me..." Tomoyo added a little bit of persuasive magic to her voice, hoping that it would be enough to vanish the doubts of his Mortal thinking have him leave with her...

[Rosey]

Rosey was taken back when she called her faerie. But she quickly regained herself and took the bottle of the alcohol.

"Ah so you are the one that broke the fight in the Fourth Layer. And what is with you Celestials recruiting mortals in this war?" She said the last sentence out loud to herself and remembered the Heaven King trying to recruit the people in the church.

She opened the bottle given to her and sniffed it. She started coughing from the strong odor it was emitting. "Man..This smells like it could be some good shit. I'll forgive you if this knocks me off my feet." She gagged and spit it out when she took a sip. It had a very strong taste and it burned like motherfucker but she started gulping away at it. She stopped to suppress a burp and smiled, "Yep I'll forgive you. If I was a God I would forgive all your sins you Hellion being you."

She finished the bottle and sat down with her head down cradling the empty bottle. She could feel the warmth of the alcohol spreading from her stomach to the rest of her body. It was like someone wrapped her body in a nice warm thermal blanket and she giggled like a little girl. She could feel that she getting a little tipsy and giggled more.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi watched as the stranger downed another glass of scotch..and was surprised that she gaged on the contents of the bottle. At that point he was scared of the drink..as well as oddly at ease..where he had just been angry he felt calm..and curious.
"hmm..I wonder if they have swimming pools in hell.." he thought aloud..then looked at Tomoyo.

"How do you get to hell? I always thought you'd have to die..."

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo laughed. "Well, that's one way to get there...if you're lucky...honestly...it takes a bit of magic and then a bit of knowing where to look..." she was relunctant to provide details to someone who was a Mortal; she would see about telling him when he proved his loyalty in her castle.

And to his request, she answered, "and of course I have pools. I told you, Mortal, anything you want, just about. I kinda mean it."

Seeing Rosie look as though she was enjoying the Windtini, she offered the Fae another bottle. "I'm not recruiting Mortals who do not already know of the War," she said in serious tones. "That is not their calling. And I broke up the fight because I didn't want any bloodshed. I don't want this War, Rosie."

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi simply nodded and left it at that..he wasn't so sure pressing into the matter was wise..she was..well..basically the devil..so Arashi decided to lay off and hope for the best..maybe he'd find out a few things in hell.

"in any case..I'm looking forward to seeing the castle"
Arashi gave a bright smile..sheding the very last bit of hesitant nervousness he had.

He was now far more interested in the discussion between Tomoyo and Rosey.

[Rosey]

"Oh really?" Rosey said with an eyebrow up and opening up the new bottle. "So are these people wanting death or something? I really don't see how they could lend a hand in this war except to act as a pawns." She took a couple of swigs from the bottle, "And so what if the fighters get a few knicks and scratches from the fight, I got a couple back when I was a Commander..." She trailed the sentence off, she didn't want to start thinking about home. She started chugging away at the bottle, she didn't stop until she finished it off.

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo sipped delicately from her bottle. Now that Rosey was here, someone would have to stay up to keep her awake long enough for her to get home.

Arashi said something about staying in the castle; did that mean that he had accepted the invitation???

"Yay!!"

[Rosey]

The sudden noise gave Rosey a headache. "What the fuck is wrong with you woman!? Why the sudden noise!?" She rubbed her temples to try to soothe away the headache but got impatient with that. She went to drink from the bottle but realized it was empty. "Dammit."

Her thoughts drifted back to what the Hell King had said about the war. "Weren't you the one who started this war? What you had a sudden change of heart? You got scared of losing?" Rosey tried to drink again forgetting that the bottle was empty. "Dammit. Besides I don't know about the other Heaven Kings of the Higher ups there but I do know that their weakest King there is Mei. Bitch doesn't know anything about war... Or battles... Or fighting... She basically stayed in the castle and was pampered all her life. She just has this fantasy going through her head about being a great ruler but doesn't know a damn thing about ruling. Stupid bitch."

She stopped her rabbling to try to take a sip from her bottle forgetting once again that it was empty. "Dammit! Who the fuck keeps drinking my drink!?"

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi laughs at the drunken woman...and at the sudden cheer from Tomoyo. He finished the beer he was given and watched with his eyes full of childish laughter..of course..he knew very little of the war..only that it was happening.So he decided to ask Tomoyo..

"So..umm..why exactly is there so much animosity between heaven in hell...?" He blushed lightly realizing that the question was likely to be pretty foolish.

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo managed to keep her jovial expression, even though she felt like frowning."The reason for the conflict between Heaven and Hell is long an complicated. Neither of you needs to hear it right now...and no, Rosey; actually, Itsurugi Mei's attack on MY realm is considered Heaven's official declaration of war on us!"

[Rosey]

Rosey laughed, "Really. That dumb bitch. She made it seem like the war already started when she asked me to join. I denied her request. Unless the Queen says otherwise, I'm through dealing with the royal family."

She threw the empty bottle she had in her hand over her shoulder when she tried to drink from it again. She didn't care if it hit anyone of not. "You got any more of that shit?"

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi slipped from his seat and fell to the floor laughing when the bottle smashed on some bald biker. The man was looking around wildly as Arashi climbed back to his seat stifling his laughter..then addressing Tomoyo's answer.

"oh..okay then..I'll just stay curious for now then..and what exactly was in that bottle?"

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo handed Rosey one of the two remaining bottles on the table. "Go nuts," she said sarcastically. To Arashi, she smiled and said, "Well...I'm not exactly sure. One of my comrades in Hell has a business of making these...and she hasn't told anyone what she puts in it. All I know for sure is that this is the only drink in existence of all the Realms that can make a Celestial--or, apparently, other non Human creatures--drunk out of their mind. I don't suggest you taste anything larger than a drop, though...might kill you; but I've never tried giving it to a Human, so I'm not sure..."

[Mishiranu Arashi]

He shakes his head hard enough to rattle his brain. Anything with that much strength couldn't be good for him...but..

"Who knows..if having acidic blood hasn't kill me...."he shruged thinking out loud..
but still had ne temptation to try his durability with such a tonic.

"I'll pass on that drop..."

[Rosey]

Rosey took the bottle and hugged before she opened to take a sip. "Acidic blood, what the fuck? That doesn't sound anything from any place I know of." She drank some more of the alcohol, "Anyways, I think I can name one of two of the ingredients in dis drink.... Kid...You should try some of dis kid, might put some hairs on your chess." Rosey didn't know that some of her words were starting to slur, she was too busy enjoying the drink.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Slightly offended from being called kid he shakes his head harder.

"nope..not my idea of fun..if it can get you guy's wasted I'd be about dead tryin to sip it"

Arashi smiles as she sucked down the drink, wondering how much normal alcohol it would take to mess her up like this stuff does..

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo said nothing, though she was very , very intrigued. Acidic blood? What combination of magic, what experiment or side effect could possibly give birth to such a condition. Perhaps she could figure it out--but the boy would definitely have to live with her for a while.

"...so, kid, what is your life like right now...in that school thingy that you guys do?"

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi froze at that question...what was his life like?
It was trash is what it was..he didn't know much about himself.. he'd barely recovered half of his memory so he knew very little

except that he wasn't normal..or completely human ..but he simply cast out his radiant smile.

"well..I don't know..I've never been to school as far as I know..and I'm alone...I've been traveling for awhile"

[Sanada Tomo]

Arashi's consistent smile bothered Tomoyo very deeply; she didn't know what was strange about this boy; what made him smile like that all the time? And what could have possibly happened so that the boy couldn't remeber his childhood.

"...I...could help you...perhaps," Tomoyo said. She didn't like mixing magic with beings that weren't fully magical--she would have to see what made this boy tick. "But you would HAVE to stay with me for a while, you see..."

A pause, then she asked, "What about your life do you remember?"
