It had started with curry, or rather Asch's foolish choice to try some during the chaos of the festivities. It had seemed safe enough, right? Ah, how he would regret that preposterous notion, assuming he remembered anything from this day once he came to his senses

[fixmyresolve]

Lloyd leaned down and inspected Asch, who was probably already a bit too far gone. As for Lloyd, he was just being his usual merry and mischievous self... really! Only he'd gotten a little louder and... until a few moments ago had been trying to drown out the general buzz of the room with his own round of karaoke. And for some reason there was this nagging voice in the back of his mind trying to convince him to get into trouble. Raiding the onsen sure seemed appealing for some reason or other.

"Ahahaha~ I have no idea! But hey, I don't think you've had enough to drink yet! You're still pretty out of tune! Maybe you should, yanno, start up a band or something. Might sound better that way!"

Lloyd was about to reach down to help the fallen redhead up, but he lost his own balance and almost fell over the table, at which point he burst out laughing cheerfully again.

"Oh yeah, and your dancing totally sucks!"

Asch's legs slipped off of the table as he attempted to backflip on his feet. He felt strangely capable of doing so, yet his condition made it even more impossible for him to succeed. After an awkward flop of his legs to the ground, he took the less graceful yet more practical approach of shoving himself into a sitting position, at which point he struggled (yet ultimately succeeded) to gather his feet underneath him and stand up. Once he was up, his once placid--happy, even--expression had been replaced with a very large frown. Asch was a grumpy Asch whose ego had been threatened.

"Look who's talking, idiot! You suck at standing, let alone dancing," he retorted, his nose upturned in disdain. Whoops, that made him sway a little, but he was feeling a little better now that he was standing still and not pulling off strange dance moves. "...And I don't know any songs to sing...Maybe a band isn't a completely stuuupid idea."

Did he slur a word? No, of course not!

[fixmyresolve]

"Oy, oyyy~, no name calling, okay!?" Lloyd pouted, trying to keep himself standing straight, despite the room around him swaying back and forth like a giant see-saw. Too many uptight and obnoxious people on this island. It was really too bad. Well, he'd just have to teach them how to loosen up. The whole world she be happy-go-lucky all the time anyway!

Lloyd scratched the back of his head, looking around to see who all he recognized, although the effort hurt for some reason.

"Geez, some folks these days can't even take a joke! It's sad! Stomp all over my fun why don't cha?! But it's lucky for you that I happen to know a ton of songs! Rather than becoming rivals, why don't you and I team up? I'll teach you a couple old Dwarven tunes and... well, we'll see about the dancing part."

Whoops, wrong icon

Asch huffed at Lloyd's response, still indignant about the insults. As if he'd forget being told he sucked at dancing or singing. Not that he ever cared much for either activity, but now, when he was doing it in the spirit of the festivities--exactly what provoked him to do so, he still could not comprehend, but he was a damn awesome singer. He just didn't know any tunes. He had no intention of forgiving such--

"...Hmmm...Fine, lezz do it!" he replied, fist pumping in a manner that was frighteningly similar to something Lloyd might have done.

So much for that grudge.

"...So what Dwarven tunes d'you know--" Asch paused, a great--as determined by his beer-muddled mind--idea entered his head. He hit his fist in the palm of his other hand, thus demonstrating that he had just thought of something. Well, perhaps thinking would not be the best description of whatever was going on in his head, but it was similar in a slow, primitive fashion. "Wait...We should find instruments. Start a band or something."

Gah, needa learn to check spelling.

[fixmyresolve]

"That's the spirit! I'll totally drink to that!"

Lloyd waved his hand in the air with enough enthusiasm for about five people, and another round of mugs slid across tables. By this point in time, Lloyd had few reservations, and downed his mug as quickly as he could, gasping for air once there wasn't a single drop left. As it was, Lloyd was pretty much ignoring Asch's opinions at this point.

"Right! So about Dwarven tunes! They're pretty easy to learn-- Like there's..."

Lloyd cleared his throat and then started belting out lyrics that likely no one in the room had ever heard before because his mun just invented them. "I'LL WORK ALL DAY AND WORK ALL NIGHT, HI HO, HI HO! AND RISE AGAIN WHEN THE SUN IS BRIGHT, HI HO, HI HO! TO MINE AND SMITH AND CRAFT ALL DAY, WORK COMES FIRST BEFORE YOU PLAY~ THE DWARVEN VOWS WE MUST OBEY~ HI HO HI HO HI HO

And the very grumpy Asch was a most happy drunkard

[bloody_pissed]

Asch scowled when Lloyd ignored his idea. It sounded legendary as far as he was concerned. A voice in the back of his head told him that it was an idiotic idea, but the more he drank, the more he drowned it out. Why else would he be singing? Well, other than the urge he had felt upon entering this building. Either way, he did not like being ignored by this guy

And the very cheery Lloyd was also a most cheery drunkard.

"Hey, you're getting pretty good at thisss~! Much better, much much much better! Keep at it!" Lloyd planned on coaching the guy on. Really, he had promise, and if they could get a few more guys, well, then they'd be unstoppable. They'd have a regular boy band!

"Thanks, man. I thought it was pretty good myself, but er... where the heck are we gonna find an orgaaan? Gonna have to slice it outta some evil Desian or did you have something less bloody in mind? Kinda messy and gross yanno, and I don't really wanna stand by and watch you do anyone in."

Clearly Asch had something less bloody in mind. Or so the island could only hope.

"Ahh... really? I guess this is our breeeeakthrough moment. We should celebrate!" Lloyd laughed and waved a hand for even more beer - not that he needed any more.
