[ the flight back was okay. kinda awkward, still. they made it back home safely, though. it was night time by the time they returned to the apartment, and Aiko was so tired that she was put to bed almost immediately. Gumi had said she was a little tired and gone to her room soon after.

That was a lie. She was wide awake. Wide awake, and alone with her thoughts. After a few hours of laying in bed with no results whatsoever, Gumi got up. Maybe a snack or something would help.

She made her way to the kitchen as quietly as she could, so she didn't wake the other residents of the house, and looked around the kitchen for whatever she could find that seemed like it'd help. Among the hidden things, there was a bottle of sake.

Gumi stared long and hard at it. She'd gotten it a while back. It was being saved, just in case she needed it.

She only wondered for a few moments whether or not now was a good time before taking the bottle and a shot glass to her room. It didn't matter that the sake was warm. It was better than nothing.

She sat down in bed again once she got back to her room and downed a shot of the sake. And another.

Before she knew it, she was asleep.

Unfortunately, it may have been better for her if she'd stayed awake.

It was night time. The moon was full, and it was very bright ... Gumi didn't even need the city lights to see where she was going. She was walking the streets of Tokyo, not quite sure where she was going, only that she was going somewhere ... ]

[ hearing that she's up to her usual antics brings a little smile to her face. ]

Just wanted to call and see how you were doing, I guess ... I can call back later if you want me to.

[techbane]

Nah, I ain't busy!

... No idea where the hell I am, actually!

[ okay, now she's smiling. ]

You sound like you're in a club somewhere.

[techbane]

Well, duh! The question is, which club.

So why the hell're you up this early?

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

... no reason.

[ there is a reason, I'm not not telling you what it is. ]

[techbane]

No reason my ass! C'mooon, "just wanted to see how you were doing"? Worst excuse ever.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Might wanna start accepting that as fact. It's true.

[techbane]

Nope. Still not convinced.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

What'll convince you?

[techbane]

A legitimate explanation as to why you're calling me at this time of night. Uh, morning. Yeah.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Do you really want to know?

[techbane]

Lemme get outta here first- MOVE IT, ASSHOLES!

[there's quite a bit of shouting as Lily shoves her way through the crowds, eventually making it out the back]

Alright, talk.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

How do I know you won't think I'm a pansy or something?

[techbane]

Perverts can't be pansies. I think. Well, most of 'em, anyways.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Oh, ha-ha.

... I had a nightmare. And in that nightmare, you stabbed me. A lot. And yes, I'm sure it wasn't Bleedy.

[techbane]

... What?

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

You heard me.

[techbane]

Why the hell would I stab you?

fuck you lj sob

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[ well, there was everything she said in the nightmare, BUT WHY WOULD SHE MENTION THAT. ]

[techbane]

... Soooo what've you been smoking before going to bed?

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Not smoking.

... as for what I was drinking, though, it was sake. And I don't plan on drinking any more of it.

[techbane]

Figures.

Hey, meet me at that cafe at the end of your block. The cops just showed up.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Don't get caught. I'm not hauling your ass out of jail.

Be there in ten.

[techbane]

I'm innocent this time, I swear!

[ON HER WAY TO THE CAFE NOW]
