WHO: H017 residents, Phantom Thieves, Otabek, other friends of Yusuke
WHERE: Heropa 017
WHEN: Backdated to Feb 1st
WHAT: Yusuke's birthday party
WARNINGS: Underage drinking probably
[ It may not be exactly the right date, but it wouldn't be right to let Yusuke's birthday pass without a proper party. So texts have been sent out to Yusuke's fellow thieves and other friends with a time and place, and preparations have been made.
The dining room table has been taken over by an array of junk foods—a few pizzas with a variety of toppings, piles of katsudon pirozkhis, a bucket of fried chicken, savory biscuits and fries. There's a note on the fridge that it's been stocked with a variety of soda (and there's a selection of alcohol scattered in cabinets and on top of the fridge for anyone more adventurous.) And, in the center of the table, is a cake that has very obviously been hand made. It's been iced in bright white icing and sloppily trimmed in an icy shade of blue, and scrawled across the top is "Happy Birthday Yusuke!" in a shaky handwriting. Turns out icing a cake is harder to do than expected.
Meanwhile, in the living room there's a stack of off-brand board games piled on the coffee table like "Sweets Realm" or "Rat Trap." Or, if games missing pieces aren't your thing, there's a selection of video games propped up against the house console. Try your hand at off-road racing matches, or badly pixelated ultimate fighter! Or there's always a cheap made for TV sci-fi movie. Who wouldn't love to watch Lobster Attack or Sharkaconda??
Failing that, there's always talking to the birthday boy once he shows his face. ]

It's called the Pokédex! My gramps invented it. It compiles pictures and information about all the Pokémon in our world... and I've started adding animals and stuff from this world, too.
[He turns it back around.] Haaa, that's a pretty nifty power. Bet Red's jealous. Mmmmm, but you're Ice-type, so Incineroar wouldn't be a suited nickname, either........
no subject
I'm an ice type, but I'm a big cat too. Isn't there anything like that in your list of Pokemon?
no subject
Well, I guess you could be Glaceon... That one's pretty cool! [...He stops to giggle at his own, unintentional pun.] It's an evolution of Eevee, so of course it's one of the best Ice-type Pokémon!
[And if Eevee wasn't hiding in his Pokéball to avoid babysiting his drunk-ass trainer, he'd agree.]
no subject
[ Yuri half-raises a paw like he's going to tap at the screen himself only to remember giant paws and tiny handheld screens do not mix. He sets it down again with a faint huff. ]
Glaceon doesn't sound too bad... [ And it is objectively true that all Eevee Pokes are the best Pokes. ]
no subject
[Blue gets the picture pretty quick (used to reading gestures from Pokémon and Reds alike) and helps Yuri scroll through the species listed.] Glaceon, huh? [Blue pauses, giving Yuri an up and down look. Welllll, tigers were cool, even if this Ice/Fairy kid was..........] Okay, fine. How about 'Glacie'?
no subject
[ Glacie, huh? His ears switch between pricking forward with interest and laying back dubiously a few times before he finally shrugs as best he can in this form. ]
Glacie sounds fine to me.
no subject
[But anyway, the stupid name has been accepted. Don't worry Yuri; Blue will probably forget about this entire exchange once he's sober again.]
Okay!! Let's play some games, Glacie!! [...But, you're probably gonna need hands again for that.] Heh heh, what kinda character do you pick, huh? The big, slow, strong guy?? The girl?
no subject
I'll play a girl if she's got cool powers, but for this game I like the dragon slayer character.
[ Said dragon slayer is comically muscular and dressed in excessively spiky armor complete with a dragon skull helmet. ]
no subject
Okay, I’m ready! You’re goin’ down!
no subject
[ Yuri hasn't actually played this game before tonight, but he's hoping the whole 30 minutes of time he's had to practice with his character will give him the edge he needs to take Blue down. ]
here it comes, Bad Blue
[Luckily though, Blue is a fast learner; and after maybe 3, 4 games that Yuri wins easy-peasy, Blue starts to figure out the mechanics of the game and his character, and finally takes a round here and there off of Yuri. It's as they're selecting the next match that he side-glances over towards the boy and gives him a nudging elbow.]
Hey, Lemme ask you somethin'. Yusuke got that, you know, that cool and collected personality even when he's-- [Blue takes one hand off the controller to make a-- scissoring motion with his fingers??] Yanno what I mean??
--I just can't imagine that a guy's like that even in the sack, hahaha! [Blue grabs his drink from the table and takes another long drink. He's had more than a few, by this point in the night.]
how dARE
I—what? Why do you care what he's like?
DARES MORE
Whaaat, I'm just asking! [He cackles, cracking up further.] Don't worry pal, I'm not edging in on your turf, I got my own! [Blue steals a glance across the room, appreciative, towards Red] But can't a guy be curious~? That kinda calm-- if he's like that, I bet, huh, he must like to order things around if he's like that, huh?
[He sure can spew bullshit while concentrating on a video game, that Blue Oak.]
no subject
[ Yuri, unfortunately, is not at all capable of focusing on a game and yelling while he's drunk. He's losing quite badly now. ]
no subject
...But, you know, I can't picture a guy like that getting all into it, like, askin' for it. He don't strike me as a beggy bottom at all.
--He does bottom, right? [Ah, there he goes, just about taking round 2....]
no subject
He's just—normal! And it's still none of your business!
no subject
[Declares the announcer voice on the game, and finally Blue turns to look at Yuri with the most skeptical, placid grin.]
Normal? Ahuhn. So what, you're the beggy one? [Blue looks him down, then up- fully meeting his eyes- then looks him down again.]
Yeah right. Hahahahaha...! [Blue tosses his head back to laugh, then leans to grab his cup again and drain it.]
no subject
Mostly. In the direction of his lap, at least. It's pretty good aim for a drunk teen. ]
The hell's so funny?! And who says one of us has to be "beggy"?
no subject
[The Feebas, of course, is just laughing.] Sheesh! I'm just joking around with you... Well, I guess that's the limit of teasing with you, huh? Haha! [He crosses his arms over the couch-back, still with a good-natured grin on his face, as if he wasn't 2 steps from having his ass kicked.] That's what I thought. You got too much kick in you. [His cup is empty now, but he nurses the lip of the cup anyway, a habit.] --You're a pro, right? Whatever they call it here, athlete.
no subject
[ He grumbles and scowls sullenly into his now empty glass. He really wanted the rest of that drink... ]
Yeah, I am. I'm a pro-figure skater.
no subject
Yeah, I heard!! You’re like, really good, right? That’s why I know!
[He is perhaps 100% serious as he makes this leap of logic. Probably he means for the best??] Nobody that’s got that kind of competitive spirit would be like that in bed, hahaha!
[He slumps down where he’s hanging over the couch back, apparently content on his new topic.] You gonna keep competing here? I’m bored as a Slaking with no League or battle facilities. Be glad your sport still exists!
no subject
[ This is possibly not the right way to respond, but it feels like an important declaration to make! ]
I thought about competing, but it'd be a lot of extra work... I'd have to get a power nullifier and petition the league to allow me to compete, and training is hard with all the crazy shit that happens. I've been making videos for my skating instead.
no subject
That's some crap. [Blue pulls a face, almost insulted on Yuri's behalf. Sheesh, if he got excluded from league competition, just because he wasn't from the region......] I guess I get the power thing, but to have to petition to compete? Is that normal in figure skating...? It's not our faults we're here.
...I get you on the training, though. I feel like my Pokémon are getting real restless without competitive battles all the time. They're trained for it, you know? Battling's their natural behavior, so for them to be cooped up and not have somewhere to release that energy, it's a real problem. --Like a human athlete's muscle training, I guess.
And besides, where competitive edge is concerned.... I mean, Red's the best training partner there is, but we been rivals since we started out, there's a lost element of keeping sharp with new ideas from new competition. You know? [Blue stretches his arms out over the couch like a squirmy kid.] Do you keep up on it? Who's good here, just in case you wanna compete.
no subject
The petition isn't normal. That's special just for imPorts. 'cause we "don't have a country." [ Like he didn't count as a Russian anymore. The thought leaves a sour taste in his mouth each and every time he has to explain it. ] It's fuckin' dumb. Why can't I just compete for myself? [ Even if he'd rather compete for his home. ]
...I haven't kept up with it at all. I think I'd get too mad if I did.
no subject
[Not that Blue knew anything about the national tensions inherent in the conversation, nor of Yuri's heritage. The Leagues never required you to be from any particular region to enter, either, so long as you had all the badges from that region. And he'd never heard of someone being denied a trainer's ID or permission to challenge a region's league, just because they weren't from there.]
[Blue sits his chin atop the couch, letting out a puff.] I don't get this world, sometimes. But, not having League around... I don't know what else I'm supposed to do, really. What about you?
