[The video opens with a very flushed Chuuya, and the source of that rosy color on his cheeks is soon readily apparent. In his hand is a glass of red wine that’s barely half-full, and it’s obvious that he’s been hitting the bottle hard. Behind him is the backdrop of a lavish, cozy bedroom, and a small bird can be seen flitting to and fro.]

This is the first time I’ve posted a video on here. Seems easy enough. Anyway, while we all wait for news of whatever the hell is going on with the bigger picture right now, why not have some fun?

[Chuuya takes a sip of his wine.]

So I’m gonna ask a few questions. First off, what’s your drink of choice? I’m taking suggestions on different cocktails to mix up since I’ve got an entire bar to work with now. Hell, if it’s good enough, I might just name it after you.

[And he downs the rest of the wine. So classy.]

Second question; besides the people, what do you miss most about home? Or maybe tell me about something you’ve gotten back that you were missing when you first woke up. Or even weirdass gifts you never asked for that just randomly appeared.

_{[Diva's dressed in a simple blue dress today, sitting on the end of her canopy bed as she stares back at the feed. This time her hair is far more presentable than the last time Chuuya and her met.]}

Blood.

_{[That's it. That's her drink of choice. Unsurprisingly.]}

[thetaintedsorrow]

That’s cheating. You’re a vampire. You gotta pick something else.

Drunk dialing the entire refugee population is a little passé, don't you agree? [ she smirks at the camera. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

I totally meant to do this, though. I’m not drunk. Just tipsy.

[yelliot]

Are you always drinking?

[thetaintedsorrow]

If I stopped drinking I’d die. Humans need to water to live.

Wine, of course, but I’m afraid I see no point in mixing a good wine with anything. To even dare to mix it with another good wine can be disastrous.

[ He’s very serious about his wine. ]

I find it best best enjoyed as it is, which I often do.

[ He smiles and raises his own glass of wine from off camera. Surprise, everyone is drinking tonight. He’ll get to the second question later, but for now, let him carry on. ]

What of you, my friend? You haven’t shared your drink of choice with us. All I see in your hand is my drink of choice.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Finally, a kindred spirit. Chuuya grins from ear to ear when he sees someone else drinking as well.]

Oh yeah. Wine isn’t for mixing. That’s blasphemy.

[Trying to choose a specific favorite drink is like trying to pick a favorite child to Chuuya, but at least he’s narrowed it down.]

Depends. If I want to indulge I’ll go for a nice red wine. If I wanna get wasted I’ll go for whiskey.

Chuuya Nakahara.

[His tone is calm and even, but that's about as warm a greeting as Setsuna gives to anyone, so there's that. But where Chuuya is flushed from alcohol, Setsuna is covered in a layer of sweat and grime from working at The Forged all day. He's also holding up a s single yellow flower in a glass case.]

This was returned to me recently.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Oh hey, it’s Setsuna. Chuuya wasn’t sure if the guy would ever really contact him again, so this is definitely a surprise.

His eyes widen at the sight of the flower.]

What is it? Just a regular flower from your world?

[ There's a very buff old man in front of the camera. He's fills so much of it. He leans close to the screen and grins hugely. ] Beer. Beer is my favorite. But not just any beer. There is a special beer that is only made by religious men in the area I grew up in. There's nothing at all like that anywhere else. It's the greatest beer in all the worlds and no one has yet to be able to match it's taste.

As for strange gifts. When I came back from the dead, I found that I owned a house on wheels. And previously, I had been asleep for three days and gained an entire year. When I came back, I had a horse. It's so strange.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Holy shit that’s the biggest man he’s ever seen. Chuuya blinks a few times, surprised, before returning the grin.]

Yeah? Beer isn’t bad, especially if it’s made in small batches like that. I like it nice and cold.

[Came back from the dead? Like Dylas and Mephisto? Just how many people have been resurrected like that??

Maybe he just won’t mention it...]

A house on wheels? The horse sounds cool, but I’ve never heard of a house on wheels.

[idealisme]

[It's fair to say that Enjolras is is unimpressed. He has to live with a drunkard and that drunk doesn't need more excuse to get his wino on.]

What is it which I miss? In Paris, strangers kept their drunken ramblings to themselves.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Another person from Paris? But Chuuya doesn’t focus on that, instead huffing and crossing his arms at that little jab.]

It’s a free network. Besides, I’m not drunk, just buzzed. Some of you need to lighten up a little.

[insist]

[ He doesn't want to talk about the gift because his SUCKED. Maybe the Natha hate Rohan too. That's probably what happened. Anyway, he wouldn't normally respond to a post he has no interest in, but i guess he's just incredibly bored. Here he is, dat boi. ]

You could at least try to look presentable before showing your face on the network.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Excuse you Rohan he is FLAWLESS.]

Oh look, it’s the peanut gallery. Did you tune in just to taunt me?

[nevernoaction]

I miss the familiarity of everything. That even though there were problems, they were problems that I knew.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah. I can agree with that. This isn’t like vacationing in a foreign country. We’re stuck here, like it or not.

video, un: sakepls

[devilcalling]

Sake lately.

[ The exacts of her 'lately' is as debatable as the contents of the cup in Ryoko's hand. The only thing certain about the latter is that it's some kind of alcohol and she's not exactly what you'd call a liberal sipper. Still, she seems thoughtful. ]

I doubt you'd have the ingredients to make the sort of cocktails I'm familiar with, but it has been a while. [ Some seven hundred years minimum, that's a while. ]

You up for a challenge, Mr. Fancy Hat?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Another kindred spirit.]

Sake is pretty good.

[His ears perk up at the mention of a challenge. Chuuya always has been competitive.]

Sure. What did you have in mind?

[planetary_bonds]

[Here's an odd-looking dude. He looks like a punk, what with his spiked hair and facial tattoo. But he's wearing modest clothing - a white collared shirt, a brown leather vest...what a strange guy.]

Milk.

[Is he kidding. But he looks dead serious. His facial expression hasn't changed.]

...I miss dueling. It was a worldwide pastime back home.

[It's probably not the dueling you're thinking of.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Being ex-Mafia means that you see all kinds of people from all walks of life and with all different looks, so while Chuuya thinks he’s definitely different looking from the others he’s seen around here, he’s hardly strange.

That answer makes him chuckle, though.]

Chocolate milk is pretty damn good. I miss it.

[He cocks his head curiously.]

Dueling? Like with swords?

In... person...

[meinwaifu]

[So guess who was going to reply to this before he got squicked by Chuuya's conversation with Diva? This guy.]

[But okay, no, that actually inspired him to start paying a little closer attention to what he was seeing, hearing... and ultimately inspires him to tale matters into his own hands. It'll take a little while, probably by the time Chuuya's little broadcast hits an end-point...]



[But yeah, he's gonna appear behind Chuuya in his bedroom and (gently) hit him in the back of the head with a rolled up newspaper.]

LOL

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Meph please it wasn’t even that bad. Okay yes it was but shh.

Chuuya is so white girl wasted that he doesn’t even register Mephisto appearing behind him until he feels something hit him in the back of the head.]

Eh?

[Oh. There’s a demon behind him. He blinks before snorting rather unattractively.]

What is it? I haven’t been spilling secrets or anything, if that’s what you’re worried about.

[There's a long, familiar and exasperated sigh.]

There goes the quiet on this thing. I was hoping you'd never figure it out.

It’s not exactly hard. Besides, if it’s there, why not use it?

I like tea. It's ... sort of calming.

[ from what she has had at least. liquids aren't important. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah? Tea is good. I prefer coffee, but I’ll drink tea too.

You got a favorite blend?

[rosebyanyother]

[Oh hey, his market friend.]

Honestly, I miss the freedom to move around. I think this is the longest I've stayed in one place since I was a teenager.

As for drinks: I'm partial to anything floral or herbal.

[thetaintedsorrow]

I used to be the same, before I found a home in the Mafia.

[Just casually drops that.]

No booze?
