"I don't think I have. What would I prove by fighting a bear?"
A bear fight? Thats where you run faster than the other poor fucker who is with you to get away. I think thats how I would fight a bear
"Though Saki is Japanese, have you ever had a Saki bomb? Want me to fight a bear, I'll have to have several of those first. I wonder if they have Saki here? If not, a flaming Dr. Pepper will work nicely"
Kai flags down the waiter

Clover laughs, "Sake bombs are delicious. But you've never heard of a bear fight? It's where you drink a vodka redbull, and then an Irish car bomb. But then you race when you do it, and when you finish you make a sound like a bear."
"The first one to roar wins!"
-Distraction-
Uh oh, it looks like the waitress is right about to have some nasty bad luck. Carrying all those trays, it's not hard to guess what's coming.

Silas sees his waitress making her way over, a steaming Number 6 ready for him.
"Number 6 for you sir," she says.

Somehow that didn't seem any better, but at least he could drink all he wanted to and never get drunk.
Noticing the waitress, Kai casts Shifting the odds to prevent he from falling (1 mana):
01-23 18:44:47 Kai Luong rolls 9 dice to Shifting the Odds 3 successes
7,7,6,9,9, 9,2,3,2
No sense in ruining a perfectly good evening.
"You're on, though we may need to keep the roar under wraps just a little"...Kai flagged the waiter over and explained the challenge.

The waitress makes her way towards Silas to deliver his dinner, she has a large tray balanced precariously with several dishes including a soup.
Suddenly her shoe catches a snag in the carpet, and for a delicate moment, it looks like she's going down plates and all.
But then she throws a foot forward, jams her body back, thrusts her weight down and under and tucks the tray in towards her body. The plates clatter and shift, but do not spill.
Holding the position and shivering in nervousness, it looks like she can't entirely believe that she pulled that off.
That was lucky. "Here's your number six sir."

The waiter returns with four drinks, two for Kai and two for Clover.
Apparently smack talk is an important part of the ritual. Kids these days.
"Oh, you're going down now Kai. It's gonna be like Davy Crocket* on this side of the table! Over there it's gonna be the Grizzly Man**."
"You ready?" She's having way too much fun with this.
"Go!"

Silas enjoys his meal, the sauce is strong but tasty and the vegetables crisp. It's very good baby corn. The chicken might be best a little more tender, but is still juicy.
Still regarding his surroundings, Silas sees the table with the couple from before is starting to get a little rowdy. It looks like they're about to drink something, the ritual of it seems fairly rediculous.
The waitress glides in and leans close, "Sir, would you like me to bring your ice cream now?"

Kai motions the waiter over, orders their drinks, and ask him to let him pay for the gentleman in the Shaolin robes.
"I've missed the monestary" he thought to himself. "I've really missed that"
For a fleeting moment there's a glimpse of sadness that flashes across his face, but he quickly begins smiling and resumes conversation with Clover.
He casts cleanse the body on himself :
I wish I could afford the luxury of losing my mind to alcohol every once in a while...
01-24 13:13:07 Kai rolls 9 dice to Cleanse the Body 4 successes
3,6,8,9,9, 4,4,8,5

"Oh, I believe the gentleman in the booth over there has offered to pay for your meal. Is he a friend of yours?"

Before the man leaves, Kai says:
"May Chan make your Mind Pure and Strong, Wu your Body Pure and Strong, and Yi to purify and strengthen the world around you. May the three never been seen as separate, and your journey never falter."
As mine has
Kai stands and bows to him.
He then sits back down as the man walks away, and resumes his dinner.

The dinner concludes without incidence beyond the growling noise Clover makes after losing to Kai.
She argues quite fervently that his lackluster roar disqualifies him by technicality, but she seems to be mostly joking.
Preparing to leave, Clover asks Kai if he might, maybe sit down and watch a movie or something. Going to a theater is such a hassle though, and Kai probably has some DVDs over at his place right?

Kai shifted uncomfortably for a moment
'We can, but it will have to be at your place. Our furnishings at the apartment are very sparse. It's a corporate house as well, so I have two roommates at the moment, possibly more to come depending on how big our little investigation gets.
Is that ok?"

Kai and Clover taxi to her apartment. She pops in the "Blue Planet" DVD and offers Kai a quick drink.
The movie doesn't get watched much, the two make out on the couch for a bit before Clover falls asleep comfortably nestled against Kai's chest.
End of the evening.
