Slowly and rather hesitantly, the raven haired teen peered into the darkened cafeteria, midnight black eyes shifting from one staff member to another. He just stayed in the doorway for a moment, wondering how a mental institution thought a dance would lighten the mood.

With a sigh, Sasuke moved into the room and straightened out the long sleeves of his shirt, glancing down at himself for a moment. He thought that he'd dressed up as much as possible; his shirt was nice, the pants he was wearing fit very well and he'd made sure to shower before the dance, so his skin and hair smelled faintly of vanilla

[apatheticnurse]

As he neared the other male, Sasuke glanced towards one of the punch bowls, eyeing it's deep red color before another smirk came across his face, head tilting so he could look towards Orochimaru. ``I'd like to still be able to feel my fingers.``

That might have sounded odd, but he did want to be gone. Out of this frivolous dance and back to his room, even if it meant he had to drink.

[schlangenhaut]

With a nod, Orochimaru filled the little glasses about halfway and handed one to Sasuke, raising his before taking a sip.

"We'll have to simply be judicious then," he muttered. If this night (prior to the leave-taking and the stumbling back to the room part) was going to be as painful as it looked to be shaping up to be, he would want to be nice and drunk.

Though, Orochimaru thought, glancing at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye, it all really depended on how drunk Sasuke wanted to get.

[apatheticnurse]

The Uchiha took the glass, staring at the liquid before raising it also and taking a small drink afterwards. It wasn't too strong.

``Of course,`` he agreed, nodding his head and glancing out towards the couples. Some were dancing while other's sat by or ate, but they all seemed to be having a good time.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and took another sip of the punch in his hand, resting his free hand across his stomach.

[schlangenhaut]

"Not bad, isn't it?" Orochimaru eyed his cup speculatively. He'd had more... abrasive concoctions. His old friends, back in college--Tsunade could mix some truly vile, neuron-killing drinks. "Goes down easily."

Thus fortified, he looked out over the people. More had arrived, patients and staff alike (Orochimaru was rather wary of the former, though they provided good study), and the room was full.

[apatheticnurse]

``Very weak,`` he replied, looking down at his now empty cup and shaking his head, moving long bangs out of his face. ``Yes, that is true though.``

Shifting against the table, he pushed himself up and turned, reaching out to refill his cup almost to the top. Sasuke knew that was going to regret drinking so fast, but at this point, he didn't care.

[schlangenhaut]

"You did want to still feel your fingers." Orochimaru took another sip, watching Sasuke refill his cup, thinking that if he kept up like that, no matter how weak the alcohol, he wouldn't be feeling much of anything after a while.

Silently, the intern contemplated the possible outcomes of this, arrived at one conclusion he liked, and smirked.

[apatheticnurse]

``I suppose you're right.`` He lifted his shoulders in a shrug, glancing down at the glass then taking a sip, thinking that slowing down would be the best idea for the moment. It wouldn't be good if he got too intoxicated and ended up having to leave early.

The Uchiha allowed his attention to wander, dark eyes looking over the couples once more before slowly shutting.

[schlangenhaut]

"Perhaps something to eat would help. It's never good to drink on an empty stomach." Orochimaru gestured to the variety of finger-foods available. "And if we want them we should get them before too many others have had their hot little hands all over them."

[apatheticnurse]

Sasuke hadn't even thought of eating the whole day, which made him glance up from his cup and stare towards the many plates of food that were on the table behind them. Actually, something to eat sounded rather nice right now, even if it was small. ``Yes, we should.``

[schlangenhaut]

Picking up a little plate, Orochimaru went through the various foods, picking ones he liked from ones he didn't and putting the lot on the plate. It smelled appetizing at least, and the fact that the drink left an oversweet aftertaste in his mouth didn't help the fact his stomach was reminding him of its own needs.

"Where shall we sit, then?" he asked. "I believe we may have our pick of spots."

[apatheticnurse]

Sasuke grabbed one of the plates also, looking over the many types of food that were scattered over the table then shaking his head. How had they been able to make all of this stuff? He shrugged his shoulders and picked out a few little finger sandwiches and different kinds of fruit.

``Over here,`` he replied, motioning with his hand and heading towards one of the tables that was empty.
