4th Party!

[butterflyinfojk]

[Taylor Road 1130; early morning~morning]
[ This is ridiculous. JK's been trying to sleep for several hours now, but whenever he wakes up, haunted by nightmates. He's woken up from them several times already and it's just early morning. He doesn't remember the exact details, but it's got him shaking and feeling horrible every time.

So he's given up on sleep now. Actually, he's decided that he won't sleep at all. Not if it only leads to him being so scared. As if dying wasn't enough, why does he have to have nightmares too?

He crawls out of bed and goes downstairs. He pulls out whatever alcohol he can find in the pantry, bringing it with him into the livingroom. He flops down up the couch, puppling up his legs and opens one of the bottles. He's going to spend what's left of the night drinking. ]

[Taylor Road & neighbouring streets; around lunch]
[ He got packages today. Two of them, and rather big, though one is definitely bigger than the other.

When he opens them, he finds the bigger one containing his clothes; colourful and shiny. In the other is various bracelets, earrings, and all of the jewelry he owns. Wow. At least that's something in exchange of dying. Not that he ever wanted to die, and he doesn't want to do it again. Never ever again. But at least getting his wardrobe back brightens his mood, and he is happy to change into some of his most brightly coloured clothes.

After he's changed, he walks out on the street, greeting and winking at people who pass him by (he's not really in that good a mood, he's exaggerating. But at least he feels better than this morning) . Maybe you stop to properly talk to him, maybe you greet him back and just continue along your way or maybe you ignore him entirely. Either way he's noticed you. ]

[John Doe Park; afternoon]
[ Still refusing to sleep, JK's not in that good mood anymore. It disappeared thoughout the day. He's not up to moving around that much right now. He's sitting on a park bench, staring at the ground. He sort of wishes that humans didn't have to sleep at all, but that's impossible. He traces patterns on the bench, trying to concentrate on whatever he can see. ]

[Anywhere and everywhere; evening]
[ He's starting to get tired, and he figures sitting still will make it easier for him to fall asleep. So now he's just wandering around town, window shopping even though everything is closed for the day and focusing all his attention on that. Whatever keeps him from falling asleep with be much appreciated. ]

(ooc: this is during the 12 btw, since I never know what day it will be dated when I upload this time of th day (aka 5 in the morning). In case it gets dated the 11th.)

[ A dog will come up to lick your hand now, as Winry is walking Den off of his leash. This is exactly why you shouldn't do that, Winry. ]

Oh! Hey, Den, stop it! [ She runs to catch up and then sighs. ] Sorry! He isn't bothering you too much, is he?

[butterflyinfojk]

[ JK doesn't mind. Right now he's happy about any form of distraction he can get. And he sort of likes dogs. ]

Not really. It's not like he bit me or anything.

[ He smiles a bit at the dog, and pets it. ]

Hey there doggy. Den, right?

Evening

[stupidsexydate]

[Date is on his third hard lemonade when he notices JK passing by. He waves over at the kid.] Hey, JK!

Re: Evening

[butterflyinfojk]

[ JK turns his eyes to look at Date. ] Ah, Date-san. [ Sorry Date, he's not his normal bright self today, no smile for you. ]

Re: Evening

[stupidsexydate]

You look absolutely worn out. C'mere and get a drink. You look like you could use one.

[Date promoting underage drinking? Well, weirder things had happened.]

Re: Evening

[butterflyinfojk]

[ It's not like he's completely sober anyway.

He comes up to Date, taking the drink before Date can change his mind. ]

Thanks.

[ After drinking, he rubs the back of his head, laughing for a moment. ]

Yeah, I guess I do.

Re: Evening

[stupidsexydate]

Yeah, I don't usually condone underage drinking but this place, well it takes the kid out of anyone.

[He refills both their glasses before he can say no of course.] Having a rough day?

Re: Evening

[butterflyinfojk]

[ He sighs. ] Sorta. Can't sleep, 's all. [ And when he says he can't, he means he won't. ]

Re: Evening

[stupidsexydate]

Insomnia or something else?

Re: Evening

[butterflyinfojk]

Something else... [ He'd prefer not to talk more about that. To keep his mind off of it for a few seconds longer, he gulps down the contents of the glass in one go. ]

Re: Evening

[stupidsexydate]

Mmmm figured. [He watched JK down that lemonade and refilled his glass. Good thing this was only mostly hard and not completely.]

Re: Evening

[butterflyinfojk]

[ Yeah, he drinks that up quite fast as well. He holds out the glass, wanting another refill.] So um, you coming from work? [ Never mind the hour. ]

Re: Evening

[stupidsexydate]

My shift ended two hours ago, so I came back and decided that I needed a drink. But I didn't want to go to the bar, so I mixed up the hard lemonade here.

[he refills the glass.]

Re: Evening

[butterflyinfojk]

Lucky me then. [ He manages a small smile. ] Or I wouldn't have gotten any of this. [ He doesn't down it all right away this time..just a lot of it. ]

1130

[answerer_sword]

[As always, Bazett wakes up in bed with a jolt following her death. Only this time, she cannot just shrug it off.]

[She had failed. Failed at saving Kariya, failed at saving Tokiomi Tohsaka. Failed to find a way home. And Hayate...she had left Hayate alone.]

[She needs a drink and she needs it badly, so she heads toward the kitchen.]

[...Only to see JK cradling her whiskey in the living room.]

What are you doing?

Re: 1130

[butterflyinfojk]

[ JK looks up at her, not saying anything for a moment. He just takes a gulp of the whiskey, before finally answering. ]

What's it look like?

[ Don't mind that his words are quite slurred. He's been sitting there for a while now. ]

Re: 1130

[answerer_sword]

H-have you been drinking?

[She stomps up to him and glares at his bottle.]

You are only sixteen!

Re: 1130

[butterflyinfojk]

[ He cluthes the bottle in his hands, bringing it closer to himself so she won't be able to take it from him as easily. ]

So what? 've been drinkin' for like.. [ He tries to remember the first time he drank, but he can't. ] ages.

Re: 1130

[answerer_sword]

It...do you know how much damage it can do to your body? Did your parents never try to curb your behavior?

[Her grip also tightens around the bottle.]

Even if they would be neglectful, I will not be. You are getting back to bed!

Re: 1130

[butterflyinfojk]

As if I'm gonna listen to them! [ He hadn't seen his parents for a long time. It had been ages even before he came to Mayfield. ]

[ As she says that last part, he curls up tighter, shaking his head violently. ] No! [ He's not going back to those scary dreams! No way! ]

Re: 1130

[answerer_sword]

I am not telling you to listen to them--I am telling you to listen to me! Now, give me the bottle before you become intoxicated and do things you will regret!

Re: 1130

[butterflyinfojk]

I won't! It's mine now! [ He tugs at the bottle. He just wants to get so drunk that he can't think or even dream any more. ]

Re: 1130

[answerer_sword]

[One hands continues to yank on the bottle while the other goes to push him away.]

You will. It is for your own good! Is there any reason that you refuse to sleep at this hour of night?

Re: 1130

[butterflyinfojk]

I don't care! [ He doesn't want to let go. Please just let him drink in peace. ]

[ He stares intently at the floor. Don't think about it, don't think about it. ] .....No.

Re: 1130

[answerer_sword]

Then sleep. If you have any irrational fears, I will even sit by you.
