Went out drinking with Zack and Riku last night. As usual, had to all but drag them home; apparently the ability to moderate one's drinking comes with age as opposed to experience. Got knocked over by them at one point; hair and clothes a mess, had to shower and send my stuff off to be dry-cleaned. Tempted to take the bill out of their pay, but

Man, you're so crazy about your clothing? Dry-cleaning? Honestly.

Do I need to come with you to see the king?

...Seph, I can't SAND. I'll, like... hurt myself.

[soldierspecimen]

I suppose you would throw twenty pounds of leather into the washer?

Even if you needed to come, I'd make an excuse for you. Or, more likely, I wouldn't have let you have so much to drink last night to begin with. You being hung over occasionally doesn't bother me but being so in front of the king would be...unprofessional.

...you have a point. We could make Riku do it, he was the one who drew most of the diagram anyway.

[firstclasser]

Twenty pounds? Good lord.

I should be fine by then, Seph. You don't have to make an excuse for me.

Yeah, make him do it. He started it.

[soldierspecimen]

I was exaggerating, Zack. Probably. But it's a lot heavier than cotton, and either way leather and water do not mix well.

Be that as it may, it's just a report. You don't have to come at all, so an excuse wouldn't be necessary no matter what shape you were in. Did you want to accompany me anyway?

Heh. Riku, if you're reading this, consider that an order. I'll get you later if you're not.

[number0ne]

What the fuck! I was out practicing--unlike somebody, who was noticeably absent--so I get to take the fall? Seph, that is cold.

[soldierspecimen]

You take the fall because I've known Zack longer, because you weren't paying attention, and because you are in fact the originator of the diagrams anyway.

Cold would be making you use a toothbrush.

[number0ne]

Wasn't playing attention?! I was at practice. And Zack drew just as much as I did.

I'll get you for this, Zack. Fucker.

[soldierspecimen]

You're also less likely to do yourself serious injury with a piece of sandpaper than Zack is right now.

[number0ne]

So you're telling me that next time I should get just as trashed as he does?

Way to encourage responsibility and good judgment, Seph. Geeze.

[soldierspecimen]

If you don't already possess responsibility and good judgment, I hardly think myself capable to instill it in you if I haven't done so by this point.

Consider it a compliment to your alcohol tolerance and a method of upper body workout rolled into one.

[number0ne]

Damn it. I can't really protest that without negating the compliment.

All right, all right already. I'm going. But I'm still taking it out of Zack's hide.

[soldierspecimen]

Keep in mind that Zack's hide, and whatever pieces you may be tempted to take out of it, belong to me. I also own YOUR hide, which will not be in very good shape when I'm done with it if you take out my orders on Zack.

Stop bitching or I will make you use the toothbrush.

[number0ne]

...You know what, Seph? I think I'm just gonna leave that one alone.

[soldierspecimen]

...?

[firstclasser]

I gotcha'. Meeh.

Well, it's up to you, Seph. You want me to go or not?

Heeeeh.
