    "Ah, sorry Master Blender, Ueda-Sama is responsible for creating the whiskey blend." Kaze explains sheepishly.

    "So, sounds like we have a winner!" He exclaims, pouring out two more shots of theTokinoka White!

    Kaze looks very satisfied with himself, and grinning, he raises his glass, prepared to match Briar Rose, shot for shot. "Merry Christmas!"

    She gives him a flat look. Rolls her eyes, metaphorically smacking herself for making assumptions. Brings fucking feelings up into this shit. Fuck. She scowls as she shoots the next one. It burns. She deserves it. She takes the next one.

    "Merry Fuckin' Christmas." scowling through his cheer, which falls, and a frown replaces it. It's more of a pout. She grabs the bottle, and pours another. Her shoulders loose some of their tense, sharp lines, she's slumping. "Why's it gotta be merry dude?" it's probably rhetorical.

    Kaze sighs at Briar Rose's probably rhetorical question and nods, silently letting her have another shot, or two before offering a probably unwanted answer.

    "I guess...it helps, me anyway, to just decide to believe that it is 'Merry', even if I don't feel that way. Like, I can believe it's all empty and a Lie, like...you know, everything, but...if I just go with the idea that I'm the color blind one, and the people who are having a good time are right, just not, you know for me...I just feel a little better about it. Kinda like, the bus to happiness doesn't secretly go to the ovens, but I just missed getting on it, you know?" Yeah, maybe the whiskey is having a little effect on him too.

    He checks the bottle, focusing on how much is left when he pours out the next round. Still plenty. Significantly lower, though.

    She gives a snort laugh.

    Takes the next shot.

    "Ya. Sure. But it is empty. An' its a Lie an' a lie! Lying to yourself. S'like. No. But. Fuck." she does it. She caught herself doing it. She tries not to. lying is Lying. But sometimes. No. "Fuckin' hell." she takes the second offered shot.

    "Dude. Oven?" she grasps, trying and failing to snarled her fingers into something better for the floundering conversation.

    "Sorry about the ovens crack. Dark." Kaze apologizes.

    "But just because there's more than people know...doesn't mean them being happy is a lie." He says.

    "I mean, you know what a 'placebo' is, right? They have to test medicine to see if it really works, so they give some to people, and they give sugar pills, fake medicine, lies to some other people, and everyone thinks they're getting the real stuff...and every time, some of the people that get the fakes...get better anyway." Kaze says very sincerely. "Sure, it's a lie, but sometimes it really works."

    Kaze is quiet, "If I have hope." He murmurs softly, under his breath.

    Kaze pours another round. He's far from inebriated, but he's got the suspicion that he'd be a sad drunk rather than a happy or even angry one.

    The look she gives him in return screams. you fucking think?! she scowls, then rolls her eyes.

    "Sure. If they like being blind, deaf and dumb." she sighs. "That's not." shaking her head. "Sure I guess. But it's also belief. You believe so. much. that it become True." She's looking at the bottle, watching the liquid within, "Is it the lie working? Or, are their Souls pressing a gossamer touch upon the Primal Wilds?"

    She doesn't shoot the next one. Just takes it and looks down.

    "That's my hope."

    Kaze listens, nods, resists the impulse to do something disastrous like try to give Briar Rose a hug.

    "Yeah. That's a good hope." He agrees, quietly. To himself he thinks, any hope is better than none. Because even if the hope is misplaced, sometimes it works out anyway. And Briar Rose's hope seems to be that there's redemption possible in putting your hope in the right place. He's not going to do or say anything to kick anyones hope out from under them, if he can help it.

    Kaze tries to break the somber mood, grinning at Briar Rose and offering a fresh tumbler full of purified water. "Time for a palate cleanse and some hydration!" He says, drinking his own water.

    "By the way, bathroom's over there whenever." He says lightly, pointing the way.

    I'm loving this scene! We have plenty of days left on it, and I am really curious to see things progress with the unlimited application of hard liquor! LOL!

    That said, if at any point you are wanting 'Christmas' to be done and into continuity, I'm good with that too. Whatever works for you is good for me.

    Briar Rose is looking at Kaze again. There's something in her eye, but she scowls at herself, and snorts.

    "You're suck a fuckin' loser you know that?" the words might be harsh, but the tone isn't.

    Then a laugh, she steps away, heading for the bathroom, Kaze, if he had his Mage Sight up, he'd see the Thyrsus sparking some inelegant golden glyphs.

    There's sounds of her purging, then that of the toilet flushing, and the sink running.

    She comes back. Sober as can be.

    "With water on offer. Imma bounce." She grabs her stuff and shrugs it back on, and heads to to door. Before she's gone, the Obrimos will hear a "Mery fuckin' Christmas dude."

    Then the sounds of her bike roaring to life.


    This has been super fun! Thanks for the scene!

    Kaze laughs! Why is it cool and feels good when Briar Rose says it, and bad and depressing when Phoenix said it? Doesn't matter why. It's True tho. Probably because he feels like a friend, maybe even kind like a relative with Briar Rose, and he was totally um, yeah, still not sure what he felt with Phoenyx, but it sure wasn't brotherly love.

    "Cool. Thanks for coming, Rose. Seriously. See you around." Kaze says, still smiling. He doesn't know why he feels good, not alone or abandoned with her leaving, maybe a little early, or maybe perfect timing. He just feels kind of...special that she came and hung out, no not special exactly, just...like he's got a very special friend, who isn't friends with just anyone.

    Awesome! Thanks! Christmas is in the can!
