[ Squalo can SENSE THAT BUBBLING COMMENT, MOTHERFUCKER. Don't you dare. So he's actually taken offguard by the offered drink. Now, while normally he drinks vodka like water, it's probably a bad idea right now. But he takes it anyway. Or maybe he can't smell it through his hangover and thinks it's perfectly innocent juice, who knows. ]

Heh. Maybe they haven't done enough training. [ Because training for handling inhumane amounts of alcohol and developing liver made of pure titanium is clearly a thing. He takes a nice long drink from the glass and grins. ] Did you have to carry them home or did you pass out first?

[ ...yeah, definitely flinching a bit at that cheerful, loud tone, but to be fair, his own voice is probably still louder. It's like he has no inside volume. ] You seem pretty invested in my liver. I ain't selling it, just so we're clear.

XD

[ace_of_hearts]

That's all right, I'm not buying.

[He's plenty amused though, and keeps his tone quieter.] Yeah they usually said it was training, or something. I think I usually carried them back but -- [Shrugs.] I'm sure there's been an occasion or two they had to carry me.

Hence the head's up. If we're going to be working, living, and partying together, one of these days you'll probably have to pull me out of the fire just the same, right?

[Aw. Isn't he cute? Look he actually trusts Squalo to do that out of the goodness of his intentions or something. Adorable.]

[sharktrash]

Sounds like you had fun.

[ It's nice. Having family/friends/subordinates you can be stupid and enjoy life with. It's why he loves being in a band... and it's also something he dreams of. Or remembers. A ragtag bunch of lunatics yoloing into the wind and having a great time. ]

[ SO VERY CUTE. Alas, Squalo might not be particularly kind, but at least he's honest. ]

Before or after I draw dicks on your face?

[ace_of_hearts]

[Shrugs.] Whichever. It's not like no one's ever played connect-the-freckles with my face before or anything.

[sharktrash]

Fine. We have a deal. [ He'll toast at him with the remaining "juice". ] I'm around here a lot anyway.

[ace_of_hearts]

Oh good. I like a man who knows how to show up wherever he wants and still comes back because he knows he belongs.

[sharktrash]

Can't say it was difficult. [ He just like ended up sleeping with two of your bandmates and therefore it's pretty much his home here now or something. ] Got to know your band yet?

[ace_of_hearts]

[Holds a hand out and wavers it.]

Probably more my fault, I've been out setting fires and learning my way around the city. [No seriously, he was.] Got any ideas for what kind of thing they'd be into doing together? Besides barhopping, which I mean, we can do again, but maybe give them a day to recover too, yeah?

[sharktrash]

Sounds like time well spent. [ No for real he's serious. And boy does he have ideas. ] Heh. Anything from impromptu concerts in the mall to group orgies. Don't feel like you need to hold yourself back, they're probably the craziest bunch around. [ He sounds fond. ]

1/2

[ace_of_hearts]

Yeah? Impromptu concerts sound fu--

2/2

[SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT]

[No wait.]

[He has to be cool.]

[It's rock and roll and punk...]

[And probably a joke, why is he even worried?!]

[BE SUAVE ACE AND--]

[OH GOD WHAT.]

Hahhh????

[....]

[HE IS NOT AS YOUNG AS HIS FRECKLES MAKE HIM LOOK OR AS NAIVE AS HE SEEMS, BUT THE SHIRTLESSNESS AND CONFIDENCE MAYBE GIVE A STRONGER IMPRESSION THAN HE INTENDS.]

Well... I try not to hold back much ever.

[.......... ?!]

[sharktrash]

[ HAHAHHAHAHA omfg that's almost cute. The new half-naked Carnie being all shy or whatever shit that's supposed to be. Surprised. Anyway. ]

Good habit. [ He'll reach out to pat him on the back. ] You'll fit right in.
