[The Dreamberry turns on by itself to reveal a very dark apartment. It's like the owner is either gone or just didn't bother to turn the lights on. Truthfully it's the latter because in the dim light one can see Ran...now favoring the name Aya again...on the couch. His long hair is covered with snow but he isn't reacting to it. But it's obvious

voice; dunno how you want to play this if Ran's still at Youji's and Ken's. it's all up to you <3

[slantedcross]

[Youji's call is much later, because, while he doubts not how thorough Ran is, he can't help his own inclination to run around and look. Back at the shop now, though. There's the sound of fabric flapping as he shakes snow out of his coat; the Dreamberry is on a table nearby, and Youji's voice is somewhat muffled as a result.]

At least this time we'll all suffer, hm?

[Can't really expect comfort from this one.]

voice; /pretends he's still there

[redabyssinian]

I guess we will.

[He sounds so cheerful.]

[slantedcross]

Not gonna bother with anything about how you should be grateful for a chance you might have never had otherwise or anything. We both know it's useless.

Want to get a drink?

[redabyssinian]

[He doesn't answer right away, choosing instead to favor silence for awhile.]

A drink would be appreciated.

[slantedcross]

Name your poison. On me.

voice;

[redabyssinian]

I suppose I should ask what you have to offer.

[slantedcross]

Gin, brandy, various things to mix them with... anything you can find in a bar. And some rather expensive Apfelwein [Deliberately pronounced in German...] I had to snap up. Haven't seen it since leaving Munich. I'm fond of it, but it's about seven glasses before there's any taste.

Something stronger does sound better currently. [Remember this, Youji. You will never hear those words again.]

voice;

[slantedcross]

Scotch? Vodka?

[Not showing our surprise. It's okay; Youji's trying to be helpful. Likewise, this is another something you won't see again.]

Want to get out, or are you locking yourself inside?

voice;

[redabyssinian]

...Vodka.

[He can stand that better than scotch.]

I'm at your place.

voice;

[slantedcross]

If you're already there... top cabinet above the refrigerator. Take it with you, if you need it. I'll be over in a minute, just closing the shop.

voice;

[redabyssinian]

My place then?

voice;

[slantedcross]

If you want; just let me put the kids to bed.

voice;

[redabyssinian]

[No snappy comeback. He just makes a little sound of acknowledgment and hangs up.]
