To every story, there's two sides. To this particular story- there were multiple sides.
Point A had lead to point Q in a matter of a few short hours. It was an incredible thing and Izaya was still reeling. Literally. The man was

No, it was "the city is doing something to him".
He didn't seem to be able to keep on his feet, so she transformed into Sheik before approaching him in case he had to be carried home, loudly so he wouldn't be startled.
"Are you quite alright?"

Izaya was preoccupied with side stepping over glass when he was approached. Something he hadn't quite expected so naturally, he flailed a bit and stepped on glass anyway. A piece slipped into his foot but he didn't seem to notice.
Instead. He froze in place- as though it'd make him invisible and..Started to grin.
"Ahah..he...of course!" he declared, gesturing all too widely with his arm. "I'm quite alright~" he confirmed, mocking the blond with a British accent.
"Just takin' an evenin strollll. Oh! Oh! Say you're that guy from before. The- guy-" he said, covering his face.

"Sheik. Be careful! There's glass on the pavement there. I think you stepped on it..." he clucked his tongue like a mother hen.
If at any time in those seven years that Link was asleep Sheik had gone out to socialize, he might recognize the signs of someone being drunk. As it was, he was clueless and looking very concerned. This wasn't the same Izaya that had been hopping around the rooftops with ease. It actually felt like this Izaya might hurt himself!

"Stepped on what?" he asked, or rather slurred, and then dropped his head down. Right. Glass. "Tch," he said, and waving Sheik's help off with a dismissive hand.
"Don't worry. 'S fine. Had worse...Besides..."
That sentence didn't really finish because suddenly, Izaya seemed to feel as though there was somewhere more important he had to be because he stepped over the rest of the glass and began to amble away. Orihara Izaya needed no one! Especially not some blond. Psh. Blondes. And their blond...ness.

Really...as amusing as the sight was on a surface-level, it concerned him; this wasn't what Izaya acted like normally. The vampire approached laying a hand on Izaya's shoulder in an effort to steady him.
"What have you been doing?"

"Thinkin' bout you~" he said, his shoulders raised up, cheeks flushed and a stupid grin spreading across his face. "Look at your face!" he said excitedly and reached a finger out to poke Johnny's cheek. "So handsome, hey! Look. Johnny, did you know...that you....have a cat?"
As an informant, it was his job to inform the public. Didn't you know?
Reply
"Why are you drunk?" And he set to work on getting the glass bits out of his friend's foot.
Reply
"Not sure," he replied quietly, looking away from the foot. "Holiday celebration?" he offered. That sounded pretty legit.

Speaking of which...
Here was a great drunken mess right on the doorstep of the clinic. For a moment, Kazutaka hesitated to lock up behind him, feeling that he might need to head back in there any minute now. With a sigh, he approached the teetering, Santa-clad mess. Aha. Familiar face.
"Izaya-kun?" the doctor finally said, placing a hand on Izaya's shoulder to steady him.
Reply
"Uh..nn.." he mumbled, faintly incoherent as his body slouched in towards the doctor. "You look like a professional with your lab coat and all~. I know a lot of doctors..Er..But they're all really weird." To steady himself further, he grabbed a hold of Muraki's arm.
"You're not gonna uh..hn..Cut me up. And experiment. I mean, I wouldn't totally blame you but..I like my body, you know. It's a temple."
Reply
"Hardly. This simply doesn't call for it and as I told you before, you haven't warranted enough of my interest to want me to perform any surgery on you." Kazutaka replied calmly. "We met before, Izaya-san. I suppose as the doctor you'd somewhat hired to tend to you, having you in this state counts as part of my job."
He manages a gentle tug in the direction of the clinic, just to set Izaya heading in the right direction. "Come here. I'll help you sober up."
Reply
"Oh yeah. It's because I'm a human, isn't it?" he asked with a dreadfully pathetic frown. "W-what would you say if um. I had gotten stabbed in the stomach and..I healed by the next day? Un?" he asked, recollecting that particular moment. Even the hospital staff had been a little surprised. "I did- didn't I."
That's right. He had a personal doctor. It was all coming back to him. "I should use you more. I think..I think I had a concussion a while ago. Or something..I got into a fight," he explained, trailing after him hopelessly, like a dog following after someone for food. "Why?" he mumbled, but he knew why.
"You're nice! Nyaha, nice, nice. Are you happy with your life?"

Alright, more than a few. Not that she could actually feel the wind through her hair, as she had no hair. Just another Dullahan riding her headless horse disguised as a motorcycle. NO BIG DEAL ( ... )
Reply
...Granted, she also wasn't that dangerous. While Izaya didn't treat her completely well, he had some faith that she wouldn't ever really do anything to intentionally hurt him. Threaten maybe, but hurt- not.
It was impossible for him not to hear the wail of that motorcycle. That echoing screech of a well-hidden horse.
"Celty Sturluson!" he exclaimed, arms held out to his sides in grand display of greeting. He spun around on heel, stepping on the glass obliviously as he smirked at Celty.
"It's been such a long time. Gosh, how have you been?" he asked, quite literally skipping over towards Celty. Granted it was clumsy ( ... )
Reply
Of course, his current state didn't do him any good. He was still carefree as ever, but his appearance was quite... different... When did he stop caring enough to go skipping around like this?
Some concern decided to linger, but then she was reminded of that conversation. Again and again. Would she help him? SHOULD she help him?
Ah. Maybe she should actually answer his questions first.
No reason.|
The PDA stood as the brick wall between a Dullahan and a clumsy looking man. She does appreciate personal space, you know.
Can you even read this?|
Reply
Of course she does. But Izaya didn't. That and he was having trouble reading the blurring text. Celty didn't have to keep moving it but some quiet, logical part of Izaya's brain reminded him that she probably wasn't moving the phone at all ( ... )

Selphie lifted a hand to wave towards Izaya, but then the wine glass shattered. At once she ran over wearing, of course, sparkly red heels, and started to usher Izaya out of the way, "Watch your feet! Don't get glass in them! Where are your Santa boots?"
Reply
But wait. Selphie. Those shoes. "You look ador-able!" Izaya exclaimed excitedly, noting both the shoes and stockings. It was always nice to see a girl who knew how to dress herself.
"Ahh what?" he asked, seeming to have already forgotten about the shattered glass. "Nnn I don't know. I think..somewhere..over there?" he said and pointed in a seemingly random direction. The sad thing was that he totally did have Santa boots to match. "Don't- you careful. You're...Although..The glass. Selphie, how are you~?"
Reply
Selphie turned again to see what he might be pointing at, if there was something important in that random direction. But apparently not. It's only when he continued to speak that she put her hands firmly on her hips and shook her head.
"Izaya... You went drinking without me!"
Reply
"Ahh...." He looked over at where the shattered glass was. To be fair, he really didn't drink. He hadn't lied to Selphie that evening. The idea of even drinking with someone...Wait. "You'd want to drink with me?" he asked, suddenly looking at her with this expression. A genuine grin slid over his face and he held his hands up.
"You know, I'm not that wasted. And the night's still young, Miss Selphie," he suggested, wiggling his fingers at the girl before he made a gesture towards the plaza. More importantly- a bar. "How about it? This is a rare occasion so we might as well take advantage."
