[Action A: 7135 Brooks, locked to housemates and possibly Marvelous and Ambrosia.]

[Tsukasa hasn't had a happy morning thus far. In fact, it could be said that he was in a lot of pain right now, due to the rum from the bonfire that Ambrosia threw the night before. He shouldn't have drank anything, but...well, he had to prove a point. What that point was, who knows.]

I'm going to kill both of them. I mean it.

[Its great to have friends, isn't it?]

[Action B: MacCready & Son's Law Firm]

Look, I just think that John needs to get his dog to stop going on my lawn. Is that so much to ask, Mister Kadoya? I may have to utilize your services soon if it doesn't stop.

[There is a click and a whirr, the drone blinking slightly as Tsukasa puts down his camera.]

Well, if you ever decide to do so, be sure and come back.

[As the drone leaves, Tsukasa just lays his head down on the desk, still suffering from the effects of a hangover. This day couldn't get any worse.]

[Action C: Around Mayfield]

[Tsukasa had lived through the hangover and the boring day at work, but now is the time to finally do what he really wanted to do: Walk around and take pictures. If anyone would like to be his subjects, they just need to talk to him!]

[Varon finished putting the final touches on the camera that he promised to build for Tsukasa about a week, but he hasn't seen him around to give it to him. He decides now would be a good time to try to find him. He didn't think to bring it to the bonfire since it was something personal and he didn't want word getting around that he can build things and become overwhelmed.

His hunch is right this time. Seeing the man that he only spoke to briefly, he stops and produces the camera from his back pack.]

I think this is yours. Look it over an' tell me what you think.

[The wood housing is stylized with a burned etched hawk on the side and varnished to a nice, smooth finish in red wood.]

Been wonderin' where you were hidin'.

[He smirks.]

[That voice sounds familiar, and Tsukasa looks up at Varon.]

Ah, hello Varon.

[He takes the camera and turns it over. Smiling a bit as he does so.]

That...that looks very good. It's nice to have another Twin-Lens Reflex camera. Thank you.

[This is a rare moment for Tsukasa. He's, well, happy.]

Ya know, that was a lot trickier than I thought it would be. It seems simple in the way it looks but puttin' it together was a bit of a bitch. Those parts were pretty small.

[He gives a nod.]

Glad ya like it. Give it a go.

[He wanted to discuss what happened at the bonfire but decided that could wait another time since most of that stuff was meant to be private anyway.]

[Tsukasa nods and takes the camera, holding it in front of him and looking into the top viewer. He smiles a bit as he pushes the shutter, taking Varon's picture. After that, he winds the film.]

That's...actually a lot better. Thank you.

[He can tell that Varon's got some questions, so he'll nod.]

Did you want to ask me something?

[Now, he feels satisfied with his work, he nods then clears his throat.]

At the bonfire...did ya manage to lance something too? I got so shitfaced I don't remember how I got home. I know I drove...but that's about it.

I think I remember Marvelous and I staggering back home afterwards. I was pretty drunk. Don't think I'll be doing that again.

[He had a lot of fun with the Pirates, of course, but he's just...not a big fan of drinking.]

[A laugh and a slap to Tsukasa's arm, Varon is already liking this guy.]

No worries. They'll grow on ya. Remember this trick though if they talk ya into it again. Eat bread. Saves the hangover sting. Don't eat anything greasy. That'll just make ya sick.

[Tsukasa gives a little bit of a smile.]

Yeah, I will do that. I don't think I'll be drinking again for a long time, though. Not my thing.

Pfft, any time Ambrosia's 'round, better count on drinkin'. She's good for that. Bring some crackers with ya just in case. Just sayin'.

Yeah, that's probably the case. I'll remember that.

Believe it or not, if you have just one with her, she's good. It means that you're in good spirits with her. Turn it away, it's like an insult. Bring the crackers. Trust me on this.

Yeah...I think she invited me to join her crew. I'm not completely sure of that, though, I was pretty smashed by that point.

[He pauses, then looks horrified.]

I think I may have accepted.

[He lets out a laugh.]

Call me Smithy, or Brat. That's what she did with me. No worries. It's all part of her way of likin' ya. Nothin' to it. I'm Varon to everyone else. Bein' a pirate here means you're not like the others. It's all apples, mate.

[He nods at that.]

Yeah, I get the feeling that if she didn't like me, she would probably have stripped me naked and left me somewhere, drunk out of my mind.

[He glances off to the side then back at Tsukasa.]

At least she didn't tie ya to the mast.

[He's recalling the time he was droned and tied up by Ambrosia to prevent himself from being embarrassed to the point of no return.]

[He looks shocked.]

She tied you to the mast? What did you do to piss her off that much?

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

Nothin' like that, Tsukasa. I was droned an' well, she tied me up t' make sure I didn't make an ass of m'self. Nothing to it an' no worries. Glad she did too. That was...yeah, it wasn't what I'd call a stellar moment for me.

Ah. So, you mean that we can become like the people of this town? Programmed to go through the motions?

Yeah, it's not pretty, mate. BELIEVE me, it's horror in an' of itself.

Well, I hope it doesn't happen to me...ever.

[He looks uncomfortable at the thought, to be honest.]

I'll be willin' t' bet that you won't.

[In fact, anyone he's met, even his enemies, he would never wish droning on them. EVER.]

Promise me that you won't let me make too much of a fool of myself, if it ever happens.

I got your back, an' that's a promise.

[And one he intends to keep. If it were any other person, he probably would have said that they were on their own. He likes Tsukasa too much to watch him fall.]
