Justin is hungover to hell, tired and suffering a bout of teenage angst in a bad mood. He'd totally forgotten that he was down for a shift today, which is why he looks surprised when he finds Milliways at school and then downcast at the idea of working in his state

Hopefully, Justin's brain is functioning enough for him to recognize the rabbit-boy wandering up to the Bar? It actually might be a bit of a challenge - the teen's hit a ridiculous, anime-style growth spurt, since their last discussion. And, while he's still a fair few inches shorter than Justin, the leap from the schoolgirl outfit of yesteryear to his present shirt and tie is a big one.

The playful expression on his face with one finger held curiously to his lips, though? Totally unchanged.

"Hold on, I need to think of a drink with a really great name."

[art_and_brian]

'Take your time.'

He waves a hand wearily, taking in the boy's appearance.

'Did someone die?'

[candied_rabbit]

"Huh? Nooo..."

Math class is not quite the equivalent of a hangover, but Momiji has just sat through it, so he is not as quick on his feet as he might be, otherwise. So, Justin just gets stared at for a second.

"Ooh, I've got it! Can I have an Apple Karate?"

Because omnomnom, carrots.

[art_and_brian]

'Then what's with the clothes? Not your normal style.'

He looks up an Apple Karate and wrinkles his nose because ew. But hey, everyone has different tastes.

[candied_rabbit]

Hey, as far as rabbit-y traits go, a taste for veggies is pretty tame. He could be outside grazing, after all.

"Oh! It's my new outfit for school! I just got it about a week ago."

The clothes may be more masculine, but the little twirl he gives, hopping off of his stool to show them off, is not.

"They're not really a great color for me, and the tie's a big headache, but I like'em."

[art_and_brian]

'Ties are always a pain in the ass.'

Beat.

'Well. Not always. But for school, yeah.'

That would be a suggestive wink in Momiji's direction.

'What happened to the dress?'

[candied_rabbit]

Justin's commentary on ties, unsurprisingly, whooshes right over 'Miji's head.

"I don't own a dress," he fusses, arms folding across his chest. He has not lost his gift for good-natured pouting, either.

"But I kinda outgrew the girl's uniform? It didn't look bad on me or anything this year, but...I think maybe I'm a little too old for it, now."

Momiji says the words "too old for" in a tone very much like Justin's expression, when he was looking up the Apple Karate recipe.

The drink - the frankly gross drink - is placed in front of Momiji. Justin hasn't connected the carrots with the rabbit in his state.

'Momiji. You're growing up.'

He laughs.

'Soon you'll be out getting a job or whatever. And have, I don't know, a mortgage.'

Mortgages are the most grown up thing he can think of right now.

[candied_rabbit]

"Ick, gross."

He means the mortgage bit, not the drink. That, he's sipping with apparent appreciation.

"I hope not. I'm still having trouble remembering to go to my new classes, instead of the ones from last year."

[art_and_brian]

Justin shares the mortgage sentiments entirely.

'You're a senior now, right? Is that what you call it in Japan?'

[candied_rabbit]

"Mm, no, I don't think so. It's just my second year. And then I graduate at the end of the next one."

He shakes his head, in between sips of his horrifying beverage.

"I'm a...junior, in America, I guess? Or, like, half-junior and half-sophomore or whatever."

[art_and_brian]

He tries to wrap his head around that and then gives up because it makes it hurt worse.

'Year before graduation? Junior then.'

He collapses bonelessly back on to his stool and puts his shin in his hand.

'How's your violin playing going?'

[candied_rabbit]

He purses his lips a little at that question.

"Okay, I guess. I'm still practicing."

Then, eying Justin curiously: "Are you okay? You're all wobbly."

[art_and_brian]

[OOC: BWHAHA! 'Chin', not 'shin' in that last tag. Stupid typos]

'Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.'

He grabs a bottle of water and chugs half of it back.

'Just a hangover. I had a crazy night last night.'

[candied_rabbit]

"Ohhh. Yeah, those're no fun."

Momiji nods quite gravely.

"And then you had to come work in a bar. Ew."

[art_and_brian]

Justin shoots him a strange look.

'Have you ever had a hangover, Momiji?'

He can't see it.
